TTC after 35

what have I become???

I have become a Crazy-Pee-On-A-Stick Lady!
Hahaha Seriously, I have no patience. Every time I get a negative I tell myself I will wait at least two or three days before POAS again which I am good with...until the very next morning arrives and I pee on another stick. Please say I'm not the only one.

  • I do it too. I'm on medicated cycles and have an us every couple of days a long with bloodwork and I still feel the need to pee on opk. Then I start with the HPT after trigger, it's an addiction.
    Fucking bump!!!!
  • I'm there with you. Between OPKs and HPTs...  I may need a second job to cover the cost!

  • Just did it this morning! 

    I would be totally shocked if I'm wrong-- both sticks have been a white as pure as the driven snow and I'm 11 DPO (which people can say is too early, but I got a positive at 10 DPO the last two times-- although to be fair, one was a chemical and my dd's betas were pretty low at the beginning so I ended up on progesterone supps). And my tests all expired in March, so they could *possibly* be giving me false negatives. Right? Right? (I say to myself in the morning as I grab another one to pee on...)

    Thank goodness, my order of OPKs and HPTs is on its way soon! 

    Seriously, this is a craziness nobody else would understand!

  • I am happy, well relieved to see that other ladies go through the same crazy peeing on a stick.

    Have your Drs told you when exactly to start testing? Mine said 2 weeks (14 days) but I have heard some say 1 day after you would be late?

    Good weekend girls...

  • @Davie813‌ haha I feel the same way right now! Waiting to O I would be all excited to hold my pee, hoping for that little reward of a positive opk. Of course I never got one. But it made those trips to the bathroom pretty exciting! Now I have 5 whole days to wait to pee on more sticks. I'm getting jittery.

    May your wait be short :)
  • I start peeing at 10 DPO now. Before, though, it was the day after I was supposed to get AF. Not that I was late that often.

    Last month I was a little late getting ready in the morning (quite a few times) in my 2WW. When DH asked why I had to explain that I was trying to talk myself out of POAS. He looked at me like I was losing it.
    Another time I really wanted to POAS, but I just had to expensive EPT left in the cabinet. I REALLY had to go, but wasn't done having this inner battle with myself. Later my husband asked why his cup was in the trash, I had to admit it was because I peed in it. I had to while I was trying to decide if I was going to test lol.

  • I've been peeing in secret. I bought 30 cheapies to test out my trigger and they are hidden. And if I hear him coming upstairs, I have a calculated break down & hide plan. He hasn't caught me yet. :)
