TTC After a Loss

I'm dying to pee!

So I've been in a great habit of making sure I go pee at around 12:15, so that when I get home at 4:30 I can pee on an OPK. I totally forgot to today! I'm a trainer at work, and when I walked in from lunch one of my trainees grabbed me for some help. Now it's an hour later, and I NEED to pee! Okay, I really don't have to go that badly yet. But the idea that I can't makes it worse. Am I the only crazy that does things like this? How do you occupy yourself when you're trying to hold it? I also wanted to say thankyou to everyone who has been reintroducing themselves! As a newbie it is SO helpful! I promise to read and reply more thoroughly when I'm not on my iPhone :-)

Re: I'm dying to pee!

  • honestly i would just go bc you dont want to risk a UTI.  and with my OPKs (generic Target, CVS, Walgreens), i only have to hold my pee with limited water in take for 1.5-2 hours and it shows up positive when i surge.

  • I don't pee on OPKs at the same time each day.  Starting on CD9, I'll do one with FMU and when I get a +, I'll do one with FMU and one after work, around 3:30pm--give or take an hour.  Some of the OPKs do not require you to test at certain times.  I use the cheapies (Wondfo) from Amazon.

    HTH!

  • You are not alone!!! After te first month I just decided to always test with FMU b/c the pee anxiety was literally painfiul.

    Just don't pee your pants! Lol!!!

  • That's interesting to know! I use the clear blue easy digitals. I'll have to test to see if they're accurate on urine that's not held so long. Thanks!

    Hey winterbride - I'm testing 3x per day also and patiently waiting for a +opk.  I'm normally a BIG water drinker, all day throughout the day, clear clear urine.  So far I haven't had any luck with getting a + so I thought I may be drinking too much water?  I've considered drinking less, but I feel like that would be counterintuitive because water is just good for you all around. :(  Are you drinking less then normal so as not to dilute your results?  If so, have you had any luck?

    YES! I got my positive smiley face last month. Woot! I tried to let my urine get more concentrated and I tested at 2pm. I was using a digital. This cycle I got my First Order of the IC so I am curious to see if I can get a positive again.

  • Oh! I've been using the digis and I'm dying for a smiley.  Maybe I'll limit water from 10am-2pm and see what happens.  Thanks!!

    Lol I definitely won't pee my pants! I don't have to go that badly, I just thought it was a funny TTC predicament and wondered if anyone else experienced it. I got some awesome OPK advice, too!
