Help me hold firm to my "laid back" approach to TTC!

All I want to do is test!

I suspect AF is on her way since I am really hormonal, but I just want to test

The last time we TTC I tested all the time, I was such a POAS addict. This time, I just want to take it easy.

DH and I are(were??) subscribing to the "if it's meant to be" philosophy so I don't want to test and I don't want to get hung up on this but I'm just having a hard time and it's only 1 cycle in (not even a full cycle yet). This is going to be so hard.

I'm of no help bc I literally have gone through like 20 tests in 3 daya So I say test...

Hang in there....Before you know it you'll have a natural answer as to whether you get or not (of course hopefully not). I get the desire to test early and I have...but if you're trying to stay laid back then don't test.

GET OFF THE LEDGE ! It's hard but being relaxed is better

i can see how easy it is to get crazy with this stuff. this is our first month TTC and I said I was going to be laid back for the few few months and then after XMAS if it hasn't happened I will do more...but I already feel like I just can't stop thinking about it lol

This was our first cycle of actually trying to the point where we BD'd around the time I O'd.

With my first DC - I tested once - one day before AF was due and got a BFP. I guess most of my brain just assumed I wouldn't actually be pregnant.

This time around. It was IMPOSSIBLE not to test. Because we followed the same "protocol" as when I got pregnant the first time I just knew it had to have worked. I tested 3 times and then today got a BFP (12 DPO).
