TTC After a Loss

How do you deal with that stupid one line!

I have taken some HPT and getting that high from testing ( I hope I am not the only one that gets this!) And the build up, and the damn peeing on a drop on a dime! Then the little screen moves and ONLY ONE FREAKING LINE SHOWS UP!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate that stupid line! I just think that well God is just giving me more time to get ready for 2 lines! How do you deal with it? Anyone keep the one liners or do something after getting the one line?

  • If I am not working I grab an adult beverage and have a mini pity party for one.

  • Oh I get high from testing, lol.  I usually chuck the test in the garbage and get sad.  Sorry.

  • I'm sorry.  I get the mini-high before testing, too.  I throw away the tests, though (what would you do with them?) and end up kicking myself for testing.

  • I think after so many years of waiting for the second line to show up I am actually use to just seeing 1 line. But beer does help.

    This.  I actually avoid testing because I don't like the mini-high followed by the dramatic drop into disappointment.

  • I try my hardest not to test because I don't like being disappointed.

  • I try not to test until the last possible day. I also run to the bathroom and flush my FMU to avoid tempation in the 2ww.

  • Yeah there is definitely an adrenaline rush, waiting for nothing. Its really mostly depressing to test and drinking is pretty much the only way I've come up with to get over it. I chuck the sticks, what else is there to do?

    Ditto.

  • I mentally prepare myself for a negative.  This way if its a positive I'm super surprised.  I'm so used to them being negative that I really never expect a positive (or didn't before my BFP).
