You guys have CORRUPTED ME. Now that I have, like, a miiiiiiillion IC tests, I take them 2-3x/day, sometimes two different brands (although I'm TRYING to only use the slightly more expensive ICs in the morning, but it's not working).
It's 5:30pm and I just hit four hours of holding my pee, and here I am trying to see just how long I can hold it so I can go test again, for the third time today... I had really hoped I'd hold out till morning, but the 75+ ICs under the bathroom sink won't stop calling my name.
Anybody else test up to 4x/day? Missy? Anyone? Tell me I'm not alone! (Although I can't ask you to tell me I'm not nuts, 'cause, well, I obviously am...)

Since YOU introduced me to the super cheap HPT's and OPK's I test everytime I pee in some form. I tested today at 2 dpo "just to test out the pink ones to see if they leave evaps" and did opk's too "just to make sure".... It is you that has corrupted me. LOL

Yes I would test 4+ time a day, and not always IC's...I was obsessed!
don't get discouraged...I didn't test positive till 10 dpo, 9 dpo I tested all day and they were BFN! and then 9 dpo FMU was so faint I wasn't even sure it was positive...Seriously, go over lay your chart (i'll leave my siggy on) to my chart and you can see how much they look alike!!! I can't wait to stalk you this weekend
purple is mine, green is yours

I can't stop read the title as "Peeing on a Sticking", which makes no sense.

Well... BFN this morning. But another BEAUTIFUL temp!
I have 2 FRER's. If my ICs are neg all day today ('cause let's face it, we all know I'm not done testing for the day), I'll probably take one tomorrow morning. I'd like to hold out till 12 DPO & a high temp for FRER, because 12 DPO is when AF is due and a high temp would mean she's holding off... But I probably won't resist. I thought about using a FRER just now but hurried up and dumped my little pee cup before I could contemplate any further.

Yeah, FRERs are too expensive. I think the ICs just help me with my addiction, I use them and I end up saving money by not using a whole box of FRER's every cycle

I am sorry for the bfn today but your temp went even higher and my gut is just telling me that you better start stalking that November DDC because you will be there!
Are you using the blue or pink handled tests?
Save your frer until you get a line on the IC's!

I'm using the pink handle Wondfo tests and the blue-handle 10 miu/ml sensitivity blue handles from earlypregnancytests.com .
I hope your gut is right, 'cause to be honest, from these temps, my hopes are pretty high.
