Temptation to test is killing me but OTD is Sunday so not long

19 Replies

Afternoon all you wonderful human beings

I am having a meltdown this afternoon as I am due to test on Sunday but I really want to test early although I know I need to wait.

This morning I woke with nauseous feeling but I don’t know if I am trying to read into everything!

Hope everyone is having a lovely Valentine’s Day and any words of wisdom/support would be greatly appreciated

Xxx

God, doing these tests is like being an alcoholic! You have to think it's not that you're waiting until Sunday, you're just not going to test today. Or you're not going to test for the next hour.... then repeat! Now is totally the time to buy something you've been wanting, or plan a trip (don't need to actually take it), or eat your favourite food (if allowed!).

Thank you so much my lovely xx how are you doing? It’s our wedding anniversary today so celebrating 5 years and the OH has booked a Indian restaurant although I must avoid spicy so I’ll go for something creamy. I just need to keep my mind occupied. Xxx

Awww that's lovely. I have just told my manager about our next round of IVF. He was surprisingly not as negative as he has been previously, so that's good! Maybe it's because I'm using up two weeks of my own holiday this time! :)

Thanks. xxxx

Hey Elle! I know how it feels, that was me last week 😂😂😂BUT lovely ladies on here listed all the reasons why I shouldn’t, mainly summaries as ‘creates unnecessary stress’, and so I listened!! 😃and tested on OTD. So today I hope to be one of those ladies they make you change your mind- tell me I’ve succeeded! 😉🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🍀🍀🤞🏻

If you watched Game of Thrones, a famous quote is: ‘not today’ (the question was: what do we say to death?) - but I’m changing it to: should I test? ‘Not today’ 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

Sending lots of love and baby dust- Sunday is round the corner! And Monday we’re back at work ahahahah ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ps: I haven’t had indian food in aaaaaaages but my fave is either chicken korma or salmon tandoori 💕enjoy your dinner! Xxxx

Thank you so so much my lovely xx you have certainly changed my mind and your absolutely right xx love that quote ❤️ Yes I’m looking forward to dinner and I will go for a korma as that can’t be classed as spicy can it? How are you doing? Thank you so much again I am going to keep strong 💪

in reply to

Yaaaaaay my quote worked!!!!! 😃😃😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Nope korma is sweet and not spicy, I love the coconut taste! 😍I’m good thanks, back to clinic on Monday for another blood to check my progesterone levels, fingers crossed they are fine now that I’m also doing the injections 🙈I’m going out for dinner too, but to a fish restaurant- I’m a fish lover! 🦞 🐠 🐟😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are doing so well Elle. It’s only 2 more sleeps. Keep yourself busy. Do a wee crossword, colour in or do a jigsaw.

You will get there my love. I hope that the feeling nauseous is a good sign for you.

Lots of love and positive good thoughts.

Xxxxx

If you are short you could always ask you hubby to put the tests up high so you can’t get to them?! 😂😂😂. That’s what my hubby jokes he’s going to do if I get tempted to test early but I told him I haven’t bought any tests to remove any temptation. He’s to buy it the day before. 😂😂 xxx

Don’t do it!!! 🤚🏼 Step away from the tests if you can! You’ve come so far, try to hold off a little longer if you can. You are so nearly there. Really hoping the nausea is a good sign for you lovely. Lots of luck for Sunday 🍀🍀🍀xxx

Step away from the pee sticks! Whatever will be, will be, you can’t change but at least leave it to test day so that you know your answer to be accurate.

Like I said to one of the ladies, ya wouldn’t but your high heels on early before you head out for the night to save your feet from pain . So, in the same way, save the pain until you really need to know. 😘

You can do this!

Count it down!

Two sleeps and you’re there!

Hugs of understanding
