Someone please help me off the crazy train. I had decided to not POAS anymore until I had missed my period because it was getting out of hand and too stressful. I am not temping just using OPKs. I am 10 dpo and have awful cramps and now I'm back to wanting to buy hpts in bulk and test twice a day from now until AF comes. Ugh. It's ok to not test. It's ok to not test. It's ok to not test.......
Re: Reality Check
You'll be fine. And testing at 10dpo is still really early. Even if you did get pregnant this early there's only a small chance it would be turning HPTs positive.
Your choices are to temp to be certain you ovulated or wait it out QUIETLY without posting on here.
Good luck!
The extremely low odds are what I keep trying to remember. I am really trying to focus on the relaxing and not stressing over it part, plus the next few cycles would be just really bad timing for DH and I, but we don't want to stop trying either. I think part of my issue is a good friend just found out she got pregnant on her first cycle (which I kept trying to remind myself isn't normal)and it's making me upset and more anxious about my situation. Thanks for the encouragement ladies!
ETA: and when she went off BCP she came to me to get her all set up to TTGP and I helped her find her cycle, get OPKS, amd gave her my best tips. And it worked for her immediately. Which really sucks.
Basically, if you want to use cheapies every morning to satisfy the urge then I see no problem with it. It's only your $ & tests.
If you want to save money then do what I did when I was TTC. POAS on the first, & fifteenth of the month. If AF doesn't show between those two dates then pee again. You have two dates you know you can POAS. Gives you something to look forward to etc.
Do you want us to encourage you to POAS or discourage you? Posts like these make me wonder if the OP is not looking for validation to POAS?
I'm a pee-pusher so you get the green light from me if you are seeking it.
