Anyone else still peeing on sticks??  

post #1 of 23
Thread Starter 
I know I'm being obsessive but I can't help it! I just love seeing that line darken every other day. Of course I'm using $ store tests so I don't break the bank.

DS and I are both nursing colds right now so most pg symptoms are being overshadowed by stuffy noses, headaches, and marathon nursing sessions.: The extra reassurance has been nice but I think I'll stop in two more days when I reach 18dpo if my temps are still high.

Anyone else as obsessive as me??

Since my BFP on Friday, I've done two more. It's like, Are you still there? Whew. Great. Are you still there? Whew. Great.

That is exactly how I am too. I feel like I could be doing this the whole first trimester!!!

Not in your DDC, but I wanted to chime in. I didn't like the idea of keeping the first BFP I got, but DH nearly cried when he found out I threw it out. He finally convinced me at 3 months to do it again and he's got it stashed somewhere. Personally, I think it's a little gross, but it's kinda cute to know he's that excited!

Awww, Irishcupcake, that's so sweet!

in the past, I've peed many, many times. But, I read this great thread in the UC forum about just trusting your body and not testing at all. It sounded so nice. While I *did* test, I just trusted the one test & well, my body has convinced me of the rest. It's undeniable... I'm pregnant!

Yes, I just bought one last stick at Target. It was nice and dark and came up quickly this time so I am DONE, lol. Glad I am not alone in my nuttiness.

Same here...bought a 3 pack because it was just as cheap as 2 (I was going to buy 2 anyways incase I screwed it up) I am saving the last till either later today or tomorrow I should be about 28 dpo.

I always take them until they're gone. Lucky for me I had just bought two First Response tests and 10 $ tree ones. They're gone now but the one yesterday came up fast and dark. It makes me feel alot better.

I took my second one, just as reassurance, this morning and it's a nice dark line. I'm probably set with just those two because there is no AF symptoms going on -- of course, no pregnancy symptoms either other than the boobs (but I have that half of every month anyways).

Thanks ladies!! I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in my obsessiveness. I think today I peed on my last stick at 17dpo. Hopefully I can restrain myself from now on!!

Me exactly! Three different tests on three different days and I temped until this morning.

I stopped temping this morning too!
But I did take another test and this morning was the first time the + line was darker than the control. Super dark. They are lined up on the window sil in our bathroom.
It drives my dh crazy, so I think I'll keep them there in July. LOL.

i had to poas last week, just out of curiousity. i got the 1st (and 2nd) BPF on 10.31, and i had to retest just for the fun of it last week. it was my last test in the house, so i figured i may as well use it up, and i also wanted the satisfaction of a nice dark BFP instead of the wimpy ones i got at 11 and 12dpo.

: but i just can't stop temping. i've gone longer and longer without it, but every few days i just like to do it and see that nice high temp. i think when we go to my parents for the last two weeks of the month, i'm just going to leave my thermometer at home. then by the time we get home in december i'll actually be feeling more pg, and i'll have had two whole weeks to break the habit.

I'm trying not to test anymore. But, since I tested at 10 DPO and 11 DPO and 12 DPO, I got really faint lines (although the third one was a bit darker) so I'm really tempted to test one more time (I'm trying to postpone it till Saturday).
I panicked this morning cause I had a temp drop (but still way above the cover line) and I obsessively check t.p.

I must of read that same thread. I thought about trying that, but like you I just did the one test.
