I should know better!
Ok, this cycle I've officially lost the plot! I have no symptoms but I'm not really a symptom spotter because I've learnt any symptom means nothing for me until I get two lines on a stick. However...I promised myself this month I would leave my 100 pack of super cheap internet cheapies alone until at least 10dpo!
Well, I have descended into the depths of being a hopeless case with no willpower what so ever! I am somewhere near 5-7dpo and I caved! The trouble is if I hold my tests, uhuh, plural, in my right hand, jump up and down on my right foot and hold the test up to my pantry door with a magnifying glass I think I see...a shadow.
There, I've confessed to my lunacy. I'm taking the first step to admitting I am powerless over peeing on a stick. As of now I will stay strong, one day at a time. Tomorrow I will not test just for one day, and the next day I will not test just for one day and so on otherwise I definitely need intervention!
Baby dust to all :)

Hi, Maggic!
I am so glad that I ran across this thread, I needed a good laugh!
I know the addiction all too well. This is our 7th cycle TTC (MC in August at 7 weeks). It seems like once I test, I just can't stop and there is no rationalizing with my brain. At least you have a 100 of them! :)
I am at 7 DPO today and so far, I have been a good girl. All it takes is for one person in our TTC group to test and then I find it impossible to fight the urge..

Ok, so after the wet slap this morning I took another two at lunch time. I dip two in the same urine because they're so skinny I wanted to be able to check that both say the same thing. This time I swear they rolled their pee filled eyes and yawned. Don't forget I have 100 of these things so I did two more at 7pm...nothing. Stark white, no point obsessing, obvious and insultingly negative!
Well, i went to bed at ten and could not sleep. So I did what any normal addict would do and got out of bed at 1am and dipped two more....BFP!!!!!!! In the space of 6 hours I've gone from an absolute not even a squinter to a BFP!
I have a strange feeling I will not be sleeping at all tonight!! :)
Congratulations to you...and to me! So far so good now we just have to get through the next bit till af is due. Fx'd :)

Haha! Who would have thunk it! I think it's amazing we both got a bfp today! I hope this is a good sign for us both! I had a funny feeling I would see a positive this month. I have had absolutely no symptoms but then I think I'm only 7dpo today. Very very early for both of us (so we need to be realistic). Now let's not get me started on how I have a funny feeling I've got two in there!
I am really pleased for you, you've had a rough trot. Keep me posted?

Well I'm now 10dpo and my BFP's have turned into BFN's :(. I did a morning and night test yesterday. First morning test was a positive, nice and pink but last night was barely there. First thing this morning I got zip! I'm disappointed but at the same time being philosophical because if I'm going to engage in a dangerous sport such as early testing there is a risk I could get hurt! At 39 this was my third cycle tcc and I am fully prepared for it to be a long ride. At least I now know that the outer layer of my eggs aren't too tough to be fertilised I'm just going to keep up with my health kick, maybe next month! :)
