My pregnant optimism makes me feel like an idiot...

in TTC After a Loss

AF showed yesterday, which officially puts us in our first post-m/c TTC cycle. I did a survey of the medicine cabinet last night and realized...

 I threw out EVERYTHING we used to TTC after we saw a h/b on our first u/s. No more pre-seed, no more OPKs, nothing. At least I spared the BBT?

 

I even had two more FRERs well after my BFP and I peed on those in the weeks to follow, assuming they'd be long expired should we ever consider having a third child.  I feel like slapping myself, what a stupid thing to do. So much money just wasted that I have to go replace.

    I did the same thing. Thank God Wondfo's are cheap :-)

     

    I still have a digi left because it didn't expire till 2014 and our plan was 2u2, right now i'll just take 1.

    Aww, I'm sorry. I know exactly how you feel. I bought two boxes of FRER's with three each. I think they expired in early 2013 and with a baby that was supposed to come in May 2012, I figured no way would I be pregnant again in early 2013! So even after I got my first BFP, I peed on sticks a couple more times just to confirm and since I'd have no use for them later on. So now I'm left with 2 and I don't want to waste them.

    I ended up buying a whole bunch of Wondfo's and figured I will use them from now on and only use one of my remaining 2 FRER's to confirm.

    Next time, keep it no matter what because if you ever find yourself not needing/using something that's new and perfectly good, then perhaps a friend of yours could utilize it!

    I'm sorry.  I wish you didn't have to go and rebuy all the ttc stuff.  I did the same thing too.  I had 2 digital's left and I peed on both of them just for the hell of it.  So stupid of me!

    Well, I think that's kind of it, now, isn't it?  I'll probably never do this again, because I'll always have lingering doubt that I won't just be in the same position again in a couple of months.

    Ugh that sucks! I would've probably done the same thing though. Noone "pre-TTCAL" expects the worst, kwim? Sorry you have to buy all that crap again!

    Hello I did the same exact thing with my last pregnancy and then lost her at 38 weeks. I never thought I would be back on the TTC roller coaster. We had nothing left i threw away everything but a little bit of preseed. So I had to buy all new stuff too. Good luck to you hoping you get your BFP soon!!
