I'm sorry, Tamb. I just had one and it kind of sucked. I swore off of early testing and these last two cycles have been great, even without a pregnancy. Just something to consider when or if you're ready to try again, from a fellow compulsive tester.

I'm sorry you had one too.
I wish I could not test early, but I'm so impatient. I also like to know so I can stop drinking. I don't want to stop doing it for 2 weeks of every month but I'm too paranoid to drink when I might be pregnant. I was also still getting positive tests yesterday when my period was a day late. And with the miscarriage/chemical I had before Joanna, I didn't test until my period was due and I had a dark positive then. I just feel like I will never be able to relax while ttc.
I felt the same way. That's one reason in took me so long to consider trying again. I had a tough time getting the first one and some painful losses. Then after this chemical I realized that I'd gone through more than 50 pregnancy tests in just a few months. That's just a lot to handle. I appreciate the science behind it and all, but it was just emotionally draining. Now I just have one of these janky rapid response tests laying around that probably won't show anything until I'm like 12 weeks. Lol. I'm actually ok with this, which is something I never thought I would say.
Plus my dr kind of yelled at me and told me that I wasn't in control after a certain point. :-). I hope this isn't coming off flippant or preachy. Forgive me if it does, but I swear I can relate to you 100% and am very sorry you're hurting.
