Still want to POAS...

[Melanie3103]

Hi fellow POAS addicts... so when does the addiction stop ??? I got my BFP Wednesday last week - and lines gradually getting darker. Even got my "1-2 weeks pregnant" on a DIGI... but when do you stop testing ?????

I always assumed I would stop when I got my BFP.... I feel the need to keep making sure I am... The MW booking-in appointments here aren't until 5-6 weeks.. so I still have 3-4 weeks to wait. Not that they confirm it with a test, they just take details down.

Other than heavier boobs, I dont feel any different... if I am going to feel morning sickness does that start soon ? Not that I want it, of course... but would be a small relief to know I am pregnant for sure. Having tried 2.5 yrs to get pregant this time, I feel somewhat vulnerable and anxious... I need constant confirmation that I am still pregnant (not that I have lost any) - I guess I still don't believe ..

Anyone else still doing this ???

Hi Mel,

I kept testing up until about 5 weeks. One day my frer was a bit lighter than 2 days before and I got myself in such a state, convinced it was over. I tested again with smu and got a lovely dark line but that scared me so much. I was testing to reassure myself but ended up worrying myself more! I've done my last cheapie I had left in the house and it's beyond dark so that's me done. I won't buy anymore. I'd love to get a 3+ on a digi but don't know if it's worth the stress!

I have loads of nausea and sickness going on now too so that's my reassurance. I felt once I got by 5 weeks I really believed I was pregnant!

I've been sick early this time but never with my son till 7 weeks so don't worry about symptoms you do and don't get. My mum was pregnant 6 times and never puked once!! Xx

I was pretty much symptom free with my first as well, other than tiredness... boobs are sore... I've just got a FAB line and my period was due Friday - so I should stop.... I've got a couple of ICs I could use up... but it's ridiculous..

congrats again hunni, when are you due ? xx

I was hoping to quit the addiction this morning and get a 3+ on a digital, however, it was faulty and didn't work Once I have got that I don't think I will test anymore...

I don't think I got a 3+ with any of my losses so this will be confirmation enough for me (for now) with the strong lines on regular tests I get. I still don't believe this is happening and I refuse to accept I'm pregnant yet, it's so sad really that I can't enjoy it but with 5 consecutive losses over 4 years I can't help it x

It's so hard to stop when you've wanted it for so long. It's difficult to believe it! Use your cheapies up then don't buy anymore. That's been my plan and I've stuck to it

Thank you lovely, 28th of December! What's yours?

Amy I never either so that's what tempts me to do one more digi at 6 weeks. But if I got a 2-3 I'd be beyond upset. Don't know if it's worth it! It's so hard to believe but let's hope this is our rainbows xx

So sorry to hear of your losses, I cant imagine what you have gone through. I thought taking 2.5 yrs to get pregnant was bad, enough but I cant even start to think about losing one, let along more than one! Hugs...

I have no medical reason to keep testing... I just think that for 2.5 yrs it hasnt worked - how come it worked this time suddenly - and I'm worried something will happen (whatever has been stopping me getting pregnant up to now)...

I am due 8th January... although due to 3rd degree tearing with my first AND 2 surgeries to fix the "area" they wont risk me going full term and labour happening naturally. So had already warned me after my first that I'd have to have a csection - so suspect I too will be either the week before xmas or the week of... eek!

I did my last digi today to get it out of the way and got 2-3 weeks (last wednesday was 1-2weeks) but it hasn't eased the worrying!

I had twinges at the weekend which made me feel better about my lack of symptoms and this morning I had to eat a banana as I has a bit of nausea which happened in my last pregnancy so I have to keep remembering that I had no symptoms last time and have a happy and healthy 23month old!

I guess it's like labour stories, you only hear about the bad bits as they're more interesting but it doesn't mean to say that people don't have wuick and easy labours (again, my LO "fired out" of me as my DH says ) x

 

[Lulla Bell]

Ive literally just done two!! When i get past 5+3 ill cam down a little. xx

 

[Selina13]

Im desperate to keep testing too but I have no ic's left! Im going to test next week to get my digi 3+ (hopefully) then that will be it! X

 

[Baby Pickle]

Just got my 3+ and I feel sooooo much better (even if it was in Asda toilets on the way home from work!!!). Now to relax for a couple of weeks and get my 7 week scan booked in, eeeek.

I didn't test much in this pregnancy, i sort of 'gave up' and had a 6 week scan instead lmao! In other pregnancies I would test until 8 weeks aha. X

 

[emma241179]

Looking for advice from mummas experienced in early scans!! I have my 6 week scan on Friday and following several early losses I'm terrified that it's either going to show that things aren't right or that it's going to cause more anxiety because I expect to see more than I should..

So, what did you see at your 6 week scan? Very little? Foetal pole? Foetal heartbeat??

I will be 6 weeks exactly according to the day I ovulated and would very much appreciate hearing your stories!

Thank you xxx

I did do my last DIGI today and got 2-3 weeks - which is about right I think... I think we conceived 16th April, so last period was 3rd April.. so 4 weeks is about right... xx

Congrats baby pickle, im still in hot pursuit,
I think once I got a Digi 'pregnant' I wouldn't worry about testing again. Of course if you have tests left over, scratch that poas itch!

 

[Baby Pickle]

Arghhhh I've done something daft and got myself into a eighth tizz

I was worried last night as what minimal symptoms I've had have disappeared (sore nipples, mild nausea, dislike of certain smells), so I did a really dumb thing and took another test... it is lighter than the test I took on Sunday (still darker than the control but considerably lighter). I'm now beside myself with worry.

I know I shouldn't of done it, but I'm loosing all sense of rationale mind and have now convinced myself I'm misscarrying and the progesterone is delaying the bleeding

Spoken to the nurse at my GP and am waiting for them or EPU to call me back. I want to go to sleep and wake up in 8 weeks.

It could be that he had a lot to drink yesterday before doing the test Hun. Please try not to worry I know it's easier said than done. Fingers crossed for you
Keep us updated with how you get on xx

 

[MrsS15]

Amy. I done that last week. Tested again and my frer was quite a lot lighter. I got myself in some state! The girls reassured me my utine probably wasn't concentrated so I held my pee and done it was smu and it was back to super dark. My GP gave me into trouble and told me it's not an indication of how high the hormone level is. I'd had bloods done 2 days before doing that test and my hcg was 720 so the GP said that being so high would make the test inaccurate too. I'm positive you're the same! Put the tests away and stop torturing yourself hun. I've said many times I wish I could sleep and wake up in the second tri xx

I'm am also in an irrational panic . I did have some symptoms but they're gone too and I had a horrible dream last night. I refuse to test though. 2 weeks until my early scan, ant come soon enough!!x
