Trouble TTC

Crossed my legs, fought the urge to go...

Am I the only one who tries to wait as long as humanly possible to go to the bathroom when you're almost certain you're going to find AF?  I hold my breath, say a quick prayer, and can usually not bring myself to look for a few seconds.  It's silly, really.  I mean, what's done is done.  If it's coming, it's coming.  But I guess I just want to try to shield myself from heartbreak for just a few more minutes.  

For the last 2 days, this has been my pattern.  I was a tiny bit crampy, an extreme bit b*tchy, and threw up twice monday night.  Every time I felt like I had to pee, I had to give myself a freaking pep talk before I walked into the bathroom.  I had tested a little early, which of course came up negative.  Today was 15dpiui, the day the nurse told me to actually test (like any of us listen to them ever).  Anywell - I woke up this morning to AF and another mother trucking BFN.  I am officially a train wreck and am trying to get my shizz together to drive to RE's office and get my baseline ultrasound and figure out what to do next.  I'm a pretty sarcastic and often slightly cynical person, but I can't lie and say that I didn't have a little glimmer of hope that this cycle might actually work.  Silly me. 

Anyways... thanks for listening to my woes.  I hope that at least a few of you will turn your panic from having to pee into a super happy trip to the potty this cycle.  Fingers crossed for all of you.

Re: Crossed my legs, fought the urge to go...

  • You are not alone - when we were TTC (currently on break) every time I had to go to the bathroom around AF it was like a soap opera scene - looking/talking to myself in the mirror. Once I would see the flow, it was like looking at my baby opportunity doing down the drain. :::Hugs::: take some time to yourself today, have a glass of wine or two.

    Sorry about the BFN.
    I do just the opposite. I go to the bathroom more to look for AF.
    The only time I try to hold it too long is when I want to test.


    Me too. By the time I'm at the point when I think AF might show, I've already had several bfns and have stopped taking progesterone, so I'm actually eager for it to show so that I can move on and try again.

    My bathroom meltdowns happen around 14 or 15 dpo when I get that last bfn and know it didn't work.

  • I do this! I don't necessarily hold my pee but I do hold my breath when I go to the potty. I slowly take my clothes down hoping not to see AF. I'm super excited when she's not there because then I can add one more day to my dpo count.

    Sorry about the BFN.

    Same here! I think I go at least 20x a day making sure she isn't coming. 

    OP - I'm sorry about the BFN. It always sucks when you really think maybe this is your month and it doesn't happen ((Hugs))

  • Sorry about the BFN.  It sucks when you have good follicles, etc and you think to yourself "wow this may work this month" and then BAM AF shows up!

    TTC #1** Went off BCP July 2011

    Me: 31 DH:31


    Jan 2012 Dx PCOS by OB/Gyn


    July 2012 - Tests with RE confirmed PCOS and annovulation

    2 rounds of clomid, 5 IUI's using clomid + injectibles. 

    Surprise BFP while on break cycle due to cysts.  It's a girl! Baby "E" born on Thanksgiving Day 11/28/13


  • I usually POAS and when it comes up negative, curse and call my ute awful names! But having thought that I could be the "exception" instead of "the rule", I remain hopeful that it is a false negative. Until AF shows up and triggers the full onslaught of tears and irrational self loathing. So, you're not alone and I will pray that once the tears and fruatration subside, hope will come that this is your cycle and success will be yours! Best of luck on a new start!

    You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'

  • I'm sorry about the BFN.

    No, I don't hold it when I'm expecting AF. I'm always afraid of accidents- the AF kind, not peeing in my pants!

  • So sorry about your BFN:(  The only time I truly believed I COULD be preganant (gasp!) was after my IUI.  I was on vacation when I knew I would find out.  I didn't necessarily hold it, but I did have to give myself the pep talk every time I went to the ladies room.  Funny thing is, I was about 4 days late that cycle (I so despise POAS and was enjoying being PUPO).  And just when I thought I was in the clear that biotch showed up an ruined my vacation.  IF sucks!!  ((hugs))
