I had to think like that to mellow out. That helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1240113 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 20:25:10 +0000 Snowdrop 1240113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After a few months you kinda realise that BFNs are painful and symptoms mean nothing so that helps the obsessing a bit! Every month seems different and normal lp progesterone causes pregnancy symptoms, nausea...sore boobs...tiredness, even a metallic taste have all led to BFNs before. I find it good to remind my self of this although I do indulge in symptom spotting sometimes, not quite that much willpower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239358 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 10:55:18 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1239358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@court_schaeff: I feel your pain. TWW sucks. I have stayed strong and haven't tested yet at 10 dpo. Hoping to stay strong til Thanksgiving - we will see of I can manage that long (although my gut already is telling me this isn't my month) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239334 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 10:39:14 +0000 Mamasig 1239334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I never thought about it. I didn't google symptoms or over analyze. I told myself it was a month like any other and that it could take months to get pregnant. And I only tested when my period was late. I had no idea people tested early. So it was a nice surprise both times I got my BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239331 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 10:37:35 +0000 court_schaeff 1239331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took a test today at 11dao and BFN ): really bummed. Af is due in four days. I vow to not poas until after then. Lol fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239297 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 09:57:24 +0000 MapleMoose 1239297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never kept the sticks in the bathroom so it wouldn't be as easy for me to grab one. Also I told myself that FMU (first morning urine) was better so I wouldn't be as tempted to use tests at other times in the day. Also I refused to test before 12dpo because I was so afraid of the disappointment of seeing a BFN before then and giving up hope even if I really was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239181 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 08:19:50 +0000 delight 1239181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also a POAS addict with both HPTs and OPKs. It was just so exciting! I offer no advice because I was in your shoes exactly a year ago. However, dollar store tests may help keep the cost down. They were accurate for me. Good luck this month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239176 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 08:15:28 +0000 Happygal 1239176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@court_schaeff: Is this your first TWW? I think it's good to go crazy one time. Google all the symptoms, POAS an insane amount, obsess. You'll be so worn out after a crazy TWW that you won't want to repeat such a crazy time again! Hopefully this will be it for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239172 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 08:08:42 +0000 littlek 1239172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@court_schaeff: I try not to think about it. It's probably best not to test a lot. You will drive yourself nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239070 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 02:08:28 +0000 Kimberlybee 1239070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: ok awesome! Thank you so much. Appreciate it truly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239042 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 01:11:35 +0000 Ash 1239042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just stay away from Google! That's my best advice. And I never tested early cuz I hated seeing stark white sticks! </p> <p>@Kimberlybee: tww=two week wait, bfn=big fat negative, dao/dpa=days past ovulation.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2011/09/29/ttc-pregnancy-parenting-acronyms/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2011/09/29/ttc-pregnancy-parenting-acronyms/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239040 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 01:07:06 +0000 Kimberlybee 1239040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These acronyms are so hard to decipher...I've read a million threads and never asked but what is TWW, BFN, and DAO stand for? Thanks in advance. LoL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239038 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 01:01:23 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1239038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had the tww yet BUT I am definitely a poas fiend. My advice would be to get the cheap wondfos from Amazon so you can satisfy the beast. Otherwise you could try reading a new book? Maybe a parenting book? Really just poas will help lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-will-be-the-death-of-me#post-1239027 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 00:39:35 +0000 court_schaeff 1239027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alrighty bees, I'm in the need of support. I've POAS twice and BFN both times, granted it was like 5 dao and 9 dao. I ran out of sticks and had my husband drive me to walmart and once we grabbed them, he said with a smirk "now don't take these like candy" He thinks he's funny lol. I want to poas everytime I pee! I can't help it. I'm obsessed. Whatd you ladies do to keep sain in the tww? </p>
