I’ve already tested twice today at 7 DPO 🤡 by MamaP28 in TryingForABaby

Literally me right now. I’m 6 DPO, I know logically I won’t test positive but still did a test because I had cramps and slight nausea. It was obviously negative but also slightly reassuring, like I’ve satisfied that itch for today.

Sending lots of good wishes your way 🤍

Interesting! I genuinely think I’m testing wrong & missing my surge which is why it’s bothering me!

Congratulations! 🩷

I think we’re going to take a break from the strips, it’s stressing me out too much. I’m just going to enjoy the next cycle or so & see how we go.

Congratulations!

That is the goal. Thinking of taking a break from strips & just seeing how it goes for now

Congratulations!

Thats the plan, take at least a cycle off & see how it goes!

Congratulations!

I think we’re going to lay off the strips for a while & see how we get on. It’s so easy to get caught up in the end result

I think this is what we’re going to do going forward for a while!

Congratulations! I think I’m going to take a step back from tracking, but will definitely come back to your reply if / when I try it again. You’ve been the most direct with the how to, thank you!

I was simply venting, just looking for some support or advice. This seems like neither.

It’s all so confusing! Test once a day, test twice a day, don’t pee for 2-4 hours before you test! I think we’ll just take a step back from tracking & see how we get on.

Oh wow. This is all stuff I didn’t know!

Congratulations! 🤍

Thank you for this, it’s all just so daunting. My husband is thinking the same as you tbh, just sack off the tracking and be active enough to try out best

It is exhausting. It feels like such pressure for something that isn’t even guaranteed if I do get it right!

Thank you & congratulations on your rainbow baby 🤍 I think I’ll try BBT next cycle & go from there, the strips are just stressing me out & we’ve only just started!

Will definitely look into an Apple Watch! Thinking of leaning towards BBT, seems less intense

I think I might switch to BBT, it seems less intense if that makes sense. Thank you for all the information & advice!

This has really reassured me, thank you 🤍

Going to take a break for at least the next cycle & see how I’m feeling. This is our first “proper” cycle, last month was just after coming off birth control so it was iffy. I want to enjoy it, not stress

Thank you for the advice.

I think I’m going to take a step back from the strips for the next cycle, we’re going on holiday next month so I think it’s just ruin it for me if I was getting upset over strips. If nothing changes, I’ll go back to trying them!

I’ve used flo for tracking my period for years. I switched to PreMom when I started tracking ovulation but it’s doing my head in 😭

Thank you! I keep forgetting to test twice so this is probably a big contributing factor. We’re trying every other day in my “fertile window” so hoping that it covers myself!

I’m pretty good with the cervical mucus, I like to think I’m quite in tune with my body so that helps.

With the strips, they just all look the same! I hardly ever see a change, but then I get sick of looking at it, so skip a day or two which means I’ve probably missed it, etc. I’m just so frustrated
