Pregnant after a Loss

Did anyone keep charting or POAS?

I wasn't going to do either but then I started spotting so I decided I should keep doing it. I think today was my last day though!

I POAS this morning and it wasn't as dark as yesterday so I freaked and assumed my results today were going to be bad. The test wasn't from the same batch and I drank an entire bottle of water before I went to bed so I really hope that is why!

Anyways, I am ending the insanity today. No more temping or POAS.

  • Nope. I put everything away after I got my BFP.

  •  Put it away Jen! Bad!

    I temped the day after BFP out of habit too and it dropped way down and I flipped out, so I decided I should probably stop.

  • I only POAS just the once at 9dpo and after that I put everything away which is pretty crazy considering I was a POAS-holic trying to get to my bfp.  I did get betas done starting at 9dpo which was only 14 (the test should have only picked up at 20) so for me to have even gotten a positive that is crazy to begin with!

  • I POAS the day after my BFP but I only had a 2 pack, so I wouldn't let myself go buy more! 

    ....Step away from the pee sticks Jenny...you ARE pregnant!!!....

  • I did temp a couple days after my BFP. I want to see what a pretty chart actually looks like. Stick out tongue I POAS a week ago Sunday, cause I wanted to see how dark the line would be. I have problems.

  • I peed my way through the rest of the tests I had in the house. I couldn't help myself. I did stop charting, though.
  • I should add, I was asking cowgirl about a temp I should enter, after I got my BFP. I woke up an hour late the day after daylight savings, so it was really the right time. I asked her if I should adjust it or leave it. She yelled at me. That temp didn't really matter. Once it's habit and you are looking at your chart eighteen times a day, you can't cut it out cold turkey ya know.

    I temped to 14 dpo then put the thermometer away. I only poas one time! i was having multiple beta draws or else I prob would have wasted lots of tests.

    This. It also helped that we went on vacation the day after our BFP.

    Oh lie, I took another test while on vacation (I was still in shock at this point).

    I think we worry to much and stress to much and taking repeated tests and continued temping just leads to more worry and stress.
