I have OCD and am mostly bed bound so as long as I have internet I'm on here & FF forums! My internet isn't always reliable though so I get forced breaks regularly. And I take a several days break when AF comes.

Unfortunately I tend to be a bit obsessive when it comes to TTC. It's a little better on clomid cycles as there is less guess work and less time sitting around waiting to O but I still tend to be too focused on TTC. That's why I hate TTC. It's a lot of mental and emotional strain. Unfortunately, due to past history of infertility it's a compulsion that is hard to fight. I still have the mindset that if I don't pay close attention I'll miss O. Even after O I feel like I have to pay close attention so I don't take meds or eat or drink anything that might harm baby. I would love to be the type that just BDs and gets pregnant without any extra thought but being off my anxiety meds for TTC kinda turns me into an obsessive head case lol.

Just how I feel. I have unpredictable and usually late O too. I can't imagine how much worse I'd be off Valium (taken for muscle relaxation, not anxiety, but it does help with the latter somewhat). Technically I shouldn't be on it while TTC but I can't survive without it until the relaxin kicks in. Fortunately I metabolize it very quickly.
Thanks to you and everyone for advice re dpo, I think I'm at 6 today.Quote:

Yes Nann! We started our HT journey over a year ago. It was so devastating when that didn't work, I can see how easily it would be to get obsessive about it and always think 'it could work next time'. I was really scared to try swaying and was so strict at first, but I'm so impatient and finding it hard to handle the negatives each month. Decided to try one more time after this month as really wanted a 2016 baby. My superstition (all my boys born in an odd year, therefore need an even year for a girl. Mad I know) and also the age gaps between them and me getting older and us generally moving on with our lives past the baby/pre schooler age. I'm telling myself if it doesn't happen by then it's not meant to be and there is a good reason. It's so hard not to get obsessed about it though XQuote:

Held my urine for 2 hours and brought along a HCG test with me to work; Well that turned up positive too. Called the RE office as soon as they opened and was sent for a blood HCG test, already had the blood drawn and waiting for the results. So no clue what is going on, I don't know if Clomid can cause false posititve HCG tests or not. I did have my period 12 days ago and temps went below coverline so realistically I know I probably am not pregnant but the scenarios in my head are not good.
Holy crap! You shouldn't be getting false results due to clomid at this point... FX and prayers that whatever is going on ends up ok.Quote:

Ttc, I like how you think, re: the necklace. And I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Unfortunately my brother is following in mom's footsteps. Anyway, I'm excited we're only 1DPO apart! Oh...and I have always preferred even numbers and years.
tfahn, I was looking at your chart a couple days ago and thinking about all those strong positive OPKs and I wondered if maybe you were preggo from last cycle. I suspect you will have quite a high beta! Fx!
Nann, it's still early!
