Wading in

Hello! I'm going to get off the miscarriage board and over here.

1)What is that brand of cheap early pregnancy tests I always hear about and where do you buy them?

2) What brand of OPK do you use?

3) What do you do for the mind fuck aspect of it all?

[FastHands]

I get the wondfo opk+hpt pack on amazon.
No advice on the mindfuck.. other than coming here.

1 and 2) Wondfo, from Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026995KO/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0002YIQEQ&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0M3Q93K770F76Z3KN91G

3) I have no fucking clue. If you figure out a way, please share it w/ the rest of us!

1. I used Walgreens brand OPKs but next cycle def digital...
2. I bought the First response early pregnancy test but haven't taken one yet.
3. This week hasn't been bad, tons of family get togeters to keep me occupied.

Hi Sonrisa! Welcome over here.

I agree w/ Nama on 1 and 2.

There is no easy answer for #3. If you find a good solution, please share! lol. I have found that just being convinced every month that it didn't happen at least keeps the disappointment at bay. I'm not sure that that's a healthy response though.

My fingers are crossed for you.

Thanks, everyone.

I'll give wondfo pregnancy tests a try. I haven't liked the two brands of OPKs I've tried (one was positive everyday, the other never turned positive - even the month I actually got pregnant).

I've had a really hard time w/ OPKs, but admittedly haven't tried digital yet. I feel like deciding if the second line is "as dark or darker" is just a challenge I am not up for. lol.

I'm going to start charting on my next cycle and see if that clears anything up for me.

I had a hard time with wondfo opk's the first month, but after seeing the progression from neg to medium to positive, it was not a problem this cycle. Maybe there's a learning curve? I might try digitals next time (if there is a next time!).

1)What is that brand of cheap early pregnancy tests I always hear about and where do you buy them? I prefer Dollar Tree tests. I got a bfp on those 2 days before the wondfos.

2) What brand of OPK do you use? I don't.

3) What do you do for the mind fuck aspect of it all? I keep busy. I try to stay off the baby boards.

1) whatever is on sale....I have yet to try the amazon thing
2) I usually use the digitalis because the others confuse me. Although my fertility doctors has been giving me some hospital ones this round for free...thanks doc!
3). I struggle with this as well.....after 1.5 year...I just feel like it gets worse and worse each month. This months gave up temping to eliminate some thing that I obsess over. My husband is really laid back so he usually can calm me if I'm anxious. The chemical pregancy last month surprisingly made me optimistic so my goal this month is to chill out amd try yoga..... People say "don't think about it".... But I find that soooo hard to do. Maybe try massage...yoga....or a glass of wine...
Like others have said, I do find solace here when the mind fuck is really bad

[sunflower22]

I buy wondfo opks and pg tests on amazon. As far as the mind fuck.. only thing I can come up w is distractions/hobbies. I was really down in the past few months and just this month I feel like I've kind of come out from under the dark cloud. I've been making an effort to hang out w good friends, enjoy good wine, have fun w my H.

Being sad and bitter was exhausting, I'm just over it at this point. Being mopey about something you cant change is just such a waste of this beautiful life!

Everyone has their moments, all we can do is try not to get weighed down by them!

1) Another Wondfo person here

2) See 1

3) Ugh it's a struggle. Watching a 7 year old and a 5 year old at the Christmas eve service made me thankful that I didn't have to do that on a regular basis yet! Other than that I do try to enjoy the things we won't be able to do as often with kids. But yeah it's ridiculous!
