Restraining from Peeing on that stick??

Question

Today is about 7-8 DPO and I am already wanting to pee on that stick. Why is it that we KNOW it's too early, yet we want to sooo bad? Haha! I'm experiencing cramping but I have been experiencing cramping at this stage every month since TTC. Anyone else have this issue and how do you restrain yourself from testing too early?

Answer 1

OMG...so funny, I am only 1DPO and I already pulled the tests out of my drawer. I know I am not going to make it past six day's...lol.I have been ttc for six months now and for some reason I just really feel like it might happen this month. For the past week and a half I have occupied myself by getting to pee on my opk sticks..lol. I got my lh surge on saturday and negative on sunday so no use peeing on those anymore....now I can't wait to pee on my hpt sticks. They need to make a 12 step program for woman like you and I...lol. My dh said if I keep it up, he is going to have to get a second job for all of my test...Good luck sweetie and tons of baby dust.

Answer 2

I was testing a lot in first mth of TTC (Dec 07) but they were all BFN. I stopped buying them & AF comes on time & I have no chance to get any. Hope this is the mth, 9th time lucky I hope. AF due yesterday & I will test on Sat.

Answer 3

LOL, my hubby and I tried for over a year before we finally got pregnant and I took a pregnancy test EVERY SINGLE month for over a year before my "missed period" lol, I couldnt help it, I just "knew" that this was the month...I guess when you want something so bad you do silly things! Sorry I cant help with advice on restraining yourself seeing as I couldnt even restrain my own self! Good luck though, and I hope it happens for you soon!

Answer 4

IT'S SO HARD not to test every day. Twice.

I've also had months and months of 'pregnancy symptoms, but still no baby. So my new technique is that I stop charting at 3dpo, once ovulation has been confirmed, and then I somehow manage to actually lose track of which DPO I'm at. This makes it a lot easier when AF arrives, because I'm not dreading it every time I wipe :) LOL

Answer 5

I am at that same stage 8-9 DPO and I swear we did everything right this time.  I just wished a sign of some sort would happen but nope nothing.  Every little twinge or strange feeling, gets me to hoping more and more but I am not tired, b***s don't hurt, etc...nothing....all I want is a sign :)

Did anyone else have signs and turned out pregant?

Answer 6

lol I am on fert drugs, so after I took the shot to make me ovulate and we had inseminated, I peed on that stick purely because I wanted to see a pos and I knew the drugs do give false pos for a few days after wards..... but I wanted that feeling. even though it was a false, it was better than the neg I got 3 days later :-(

You just a normal female who wants it more than anything.

Good luck to you

I wish you well

Answer 7

I do the same thing. I got several tests when I ordered my OPK strips and so even though I knew it hadn't even been enought time to implant I was still testing just in case. I am 11 dpo and going crazy...still getting negatives :)

Answer 8

try not to have any tests in your home-sounds easier said then done but it may help.

if you really cant help it you could buy a bunch from the dollar store.

but i hear ya on restraining yourself-i am having a hard time myself. i really feel like its my month to-i just hope it is, havent tested yet-but i really want to bad, lol.

Answer 9

haha, I think we have all been there! I am a fan of the dollar store tests myself. I have even had my husband take my pg tests and hide them from me until the day I would be expecting my period. I finally just threw away my thermometer instead of taking my temperature every three seconds to be sure it was not dropping. I don't think there is a way to stop thinking about it, so I just make myself go work on something. At least try and use the dollar store tests so you don't go broke when you know its not possible to tell!  

Answer 10

All i have to say is DOLLAR STORE!!!! haha... most tests are really the same exact testing chemicals.  They just come in different boxes.   First Response is fancier w/ instructions or educational sheets included. But you can get one for literally ONE dollar, but its in a plain white box, instructions on the outside of box and actually labeled BABY TEST, haha.... they all usually test for 25mcg of hcg  :-)  Good luck!!!!!
