July 2WW

[Christi]

I just thought i would start the July 2WW thread. This was my first cycle TTC a little girl, and hubby and I did a very aggressive sway, so I only think we have a 10% of actually being preggo this month. We DTD a few hours after getting a positive OPK, but I didn't end up ovulating until about 40 hours later, so I doubt any of the swimmers survived long enough in my inhospitable environment to fertilize the egg. Keeping my fingers crossed for an unlikely surprise, but already strategizing for our next attempt. Good luck to everyone else in the 2WW!

[Boysway]

Good luck Christi :D

[BlessedMomma]

Good luck to u!!! Ill be joining u sometime early nect week :)

[girliedreamz]

Good luck, Christi!

I got my +OPK yesterday morning, and we dtd last night. Fingers crossed! this is month #6 TTC for us, so I'm praying 6th time is a charm!

[myurkanin817]

Good luck Hun! :bighug:

[ltester]

I didn't think I'd be here again--it's been two years TTC now, but a few months ago, my husband was hit with a scary case of epididymitis which would explain the low T he's had. We think it has been a chronic condition since his vasectomy reversal in June 2012. So, T is back up, and at 3dpo, I am cautiously optimistic. Over the last two, extremely disappointing, years, I am still optimistic! I've tried swaying, but have settled on a high degree of cardio, as I couldn't maintain anything else. We will see!

[SamS_TTCPink]

What a roller coaster Itester. Hoping you get your BFP this month and it's fantastic that you're still optimistic. Fingers crossed for you xx

[ltester]

I also wanted to wish everyone else here lots of luck! Waiting these two weeks can sure be hard, especially after a few months have gone by!

I always have pretty sore breasts the week before AF, but they became incredibly tender yesterday--is it possible to feel anything that soon? There wouldn't even be time for implantation, would there?

[bluebonnet22]

Hi ladies! I've been avoiding this board (for the most part) for the past 2 weeks, but now that I've had my attempt I can't stay away! Our attempt was last night, and I'm hoping I ovulate today. So I'm freaking 0 dpo... and already anxious. Luckily I'm going on vacation from 5 dpo-8 dpo so that will help me not to test on the days that are WAY too early.

I had a moderately strict sway (medium strict on diet, very strict on cardio - 60 minutes per day, 7 days a week, one attempt), but I'm starting to get too thin so I decided to skip all the other stuff (jellies, pills, J&D, hot bath, etc) because I just freaking want to get pregnant and stop losing weight. I've never had a BFN in my life (I didn't test until 10 DPO with DS and got pg right away), so I'm trying to mentally prepare myself to get a BFN but it will be hard!

I apologize for the super long intro and I look forward to getting to know all of you! GL Christi and Itester! Hope to see lots of BFPs for all of us soon!

[stephk]

wow just noticed this thread!!! Think I am 7dpo....

Good luck to all :)

[girliedreamz]

FX for you bluebonnet and ltester!

Ltester, I've been having classic pregnancy symptoms, too, and I'm probably only 3dpo. I'm convinced it's all in my head. Lol! Or, who knows...maybe hormones are starting to surge already.

[stephk]

Girliedreamz it's so hard isn't it. Even when you try to ignore what you're feeling you can't always. Anyway I pray this is your month as you have also been going a long time

[ltester]

It really is amazing how many early symptoms I've managed to have being my normal, unpregnant self. I'm trying hard to not think about it--easier said than done, though!

[myurkanin817]

I'm about 7 dpo also. I don't think it's happening this month. No implantation bleeding and my breasts aren't sore at all. :rolleyes: on to July probably lol


wow just noticed this thread!!! Think I am 7dpo....

Good luck to all :)

[Rosie85]

I'm about 7 dpo also. I don't think it's happening this month. No implantation bleeding and my breasts aren't sore at all. :rolleyes: on to July probably lol

A lot of women don't have implantation bleeding and I don't get sore breasts with every pregnancy...If I do it doesn't come until 9 or 10 dpo for me so you are definitely not out yet!

[Jamie86]

Hey everyone I am 1 DPO right now. I'm not super hopeful about this month as it is only our first month and we only BD 2-3 days before O. But still can't help but have my hopes up some so we will see!


Also I want to second what Rosie said I've never had implantation bleeding and I didn't get sore breasts until after AF was due so I wouldn't take that as a reason to say you are out.

Hopefully this thread will start filling up with BFPs soon!

[bluebonnet22]

I will also add to what the other ladies said - I've only had one baby, but I didn't have any bleeding from implantation and I didn't have sore breasts my entire pregnancy. I literally had ZERO symptoms during the 2WW with my son. It was our first attempt so I didnt' know what to expect, and I told my husband literally every day "I can't be pregnant because I have ZERO symptoms".

Anxious to see what this 2WW brings for me (and all of us!). I think I felt ovulation symptoms today, so hopefully tomorrow is a big temp rise for me so I don't have to question whether I O'ed or not.

[SamS_TTCPink]

I've never had implantation bleeding! Fingers crossed for you all. You're not out til AF shows. 😊💜

[BlessedMomma]

Positive opk today. So I guess my 2ww starts tomorrow or the day after. Fx we all get our bfps

[myurkanin817]

Thank you ladies! Means a lot to see many girls also didn't have the imp. Bleeding. :cool: can't wait to test on Tuesday. I'll be 9dpo then. A lil early but I have 20 tests lol.

[ltester]

Welcome Ladies! Honestly, I had no symptoms with my first two pregnancies, either. Nor did I have any bleeding, so I wouldn't count yourself out myurkanin817!

And I take back my words about being cautiously optimistic... It's 2:45 AM and I can't stop thinking about it being a bfp. I know it's going to be a huge disappointment if I end up not being pregnant--I wish my brain could just hold off thinking about it all.

I'm right there with you! I'm really trying not to get my hopes up because we only BD 2-3 days before ovulation (I say it that way because we BD Thursday at 11am and Im pretty sure I Oed Saturday evening). It's also only our 1st month TTC although we've been talking about it for months. Last night I couldn't go to sleep thinking about it so naturally today I feel like crap. Before TTC I told myself I wouldn't get obsessed during the 2WW but I can't seem to stop myself. I'm already trying to decide when I'm going to "allow" myself to start testing. I know there's nothing I can do to change it now, I'm either pregnant or not and no amount of obsessing is going to change it but it's hard.

[BlessedMomma]

Itester and jamie I know how u both feel. Just had attempt last night and trying to be patient since my tww just started. I will not be testing until 11 dpo and the only reason I am testing then is because I leave for vacation the whole month of august and need to make sure I see my ob before then. Fx for all I really hope its our month. This is my 4th month ttc :)

[girliedreamz]

Good luck, Blessed!

I'm waiting until Monday to test. 12dpo. I would try earlier, but my 2 year old's b-day is on Sunday, and I want this week to be about him. He's my opposite sway, so this week has to be about boy love. :)

[BlessedMomma]

Aww happy bday to ur ds! I hope u get ur bfp:)

[ltester]

I can't decide when to test--I've tested so many times over the last two years, I almost can't bear it anymore. It feels possible it could be a bfp this time, though--I think we have our problem figured out, and I have never had sore breasts this early when not pregnant. I'll see how the week goes... If my regular PMS flares up, I will just wait for AF, otherwise I think Saturday will be my day--10dpo. Girliedreamz, you and I are on the same schedule (have a fun birthday weekend, btw!). Fingers crossed for you all!

[myurkanin817]

I've been so hungry all day. No matter when I ate or how much I was always hungry within a half hour. Needless it say my blood sugar wasn't low at all today. I'm 8dpo. :pray: that I'm pg and not just a pig lol.

[SamS_TTCPink]

I had a few days like that myurkanin. In fact I've put on 4kgs since stopping LE!!! In a week!!!??! 😩

So hoping you get your BFP. 😊

[myurkanin817]

Omg. It's really good tho to gain some weight when pg. as long as you stay healthy. I lost 15-17 pounds on LE diet. Today was such a bad day. :hair: I'm so happy for you and hope I'll be joining you very soon!!! :pray:

[stephk]

Good look ltester, keeping my fingers crossed for you for Saturday! And Girliedreamz too!

Myurkanin - I am always so hungry in my LP it's ridiculous!! I just go with it even if it means extra meals. When are you testing, you must be close?

[stephk]

Please pray for me. I had the worst AF cramps all day yesterday, a headache, felt like a cold coming on....today I have the tiniest headache and no cramping! I've had sore boobs for a few days and thought this was a great sign of higher progesterone whether I'm pg or not (last time TTC my boobs were sorer during the unsuccessful months but this month is the first I've had noticeably sore boobs).

Yesterday I felt ever so slightly sick when I ate (which didn't stop me lol), this morning I've felt very very slightly sick again since eating breakfast. I can't believe I am getting my hopes up, I'm really setting myself up for heartbreak :(

Sorry but I have no one to talk to about this, when I told DH about the AF cramps yesterday he was really disappointed. Just glad to come and get it off my chest.

[ltester]

Oh Stephk, thanks so much for sharing. This is certainly a forum where we all understand disappointment and the feeling of getting our hopes up, and I'm so sorry you are feeling low right now. You're 10dpo, right? Many have gotten bfns earlier than that--have you decided when you are going to try? And remember that all of the AF symptoms are so similar to early pregnancy.

Fx for you--will be anxious to hear how your test goes when you do it.

[bluebonnet22]

steph - definitely praying for you! You said you would test tomorrow, right? Anxiously waiting for some good news from you!

[stephk]

Thank you. I believe I am 9dpo today. Last month AF came when I believed I was 10dpo. So I don't want the double pain of BFN and AF I may as well just wait for AF.

I know when I was pg before I thought AF was coming too - as you rightly say symptoms are the same. Just trying to prepare myself for the disappointment. DH has said next time we have to have more attempts and I'm inclined to agree.

[MyByC]

Keep our fingers crossed Steph.
Pls say NO to af tomorrow...plssssssss

[bluebonnet22]

Speaking of hunger, it's completely normal to feel very hungry during your 2WW (pregnant or not). Progesterone is responsible for a rise in hunger while estrogen (during the first half of your cycle) helps with feelings of satiety. I was miserable and could NOT LOSE WEIGHT on the POP. I researched it some and apparently the progesterone (and lack of estrogen) in them can cause you to feel crazy hungry and never feel satisfied with food. UGH

Anyways, I say all this to remind myself as well that being hungry constantly in the 2WW is normal and doesn't mean we are gluttonous fatties :)

[Jamie86]

That makes a lot of sense bluebonnet! I always have a "hungry week" before AF where I either eat so much I get mad at myself or I'm just freaking starving all the time. And then after AF arrives I have to remember to eat.

I think I'm getting sick right now which sucks! I've had a hard time sleeping but I'm exhausted. My stomach is bothering me a lot. I've been feeling nauseous and bloated and have been having to make frequent trips to the bathroom. I don't think these are pregnancy symptoms as I'm only 3DPO so I guess maybe that's good because now I won't spend the next week over analyzing every "symptom" because I know I either have or am fighting some sort of sickness.

[stephk]

Hope you feel better soon Jamie (really hope it's a good sign for you despite being early 2ww!)

[Jamie86]

Thanks Steph! I really hope you get your BFP soon!

[TaniaLl]

I am waiting too... I am 9 dpo and so anxious!! I have been POAS for the last two days and nothing... feeling like maybe I over did it with the douche and zyrtec, and may have jumped the gun and dtd and day before +OPK. I am trying to be positive though, but it is so hard! I want a second line darn it!!! Lol

Good luck to you ladies... fingers crossed for everyone!!!

BTW I am taking opks because it seems that I am obsessed with POAS now, and it's almost positive. Hoping that means something!

[myurkanin817]

I tested today and it was of course a bfn. :( I got the frer 6 days sooner so will take that tomorrow as AF is scheduled to start July 14. :rolleyes: I really hope she takes the next 9 months off and takes a trip to Paris lol.



Good look ltester, keeping my fingers crossed for you for Saturday! And Girliedreamz too!

Myurkanin - I am always so hungry in my LP it's ridiculous!! I just go with it even if it means extra meals. When are you testing, you must be close?

[girliedreamz]

Bummer, myukranin. But it's still way early! Some women don't get a positive until AF is due.

Hugs, steph! We all totally understand here. I never thought TTC would be THIS emotional. I'm a wreck 90% of the time.

Sorry you're feeling sick, Jamie! Hope you feel better soon.

FX for you, Tania!

[myurkanin817]

Frer 6 days sooner... Would you guys consider this a positive????

[Kittybear]

That line is a bfp :) congratulations xx

[myurkanin817]

Omg thank you!!!! It's light but it's there!!! I was so sad bc I waited for my wondfo and that came back negative. So I figured what the heck... I'll use an frer. :cheer:

[SamS_TTCPink]

So excited for you!!
Congrats myurkanin. 😊😊

[purplepoet20]

Congrats myurkanin.... if you test again at 4day before af it has a 96% acc. Wondfo do not always work for early testing. But yours looks like a bfp. The next 9mths will be great.


I decided to test again today and so far it is a bfn so I am assuming I am not preg. We are not trying again until Aug after we have moved to Phoenix. Can't believe I am moving again but this time I am staying put. I am going to buy a few extra frer today and not even bother with the cheap ones.


I hope more of you get bfp's soon and your dream gender.

[stephk]

myurkanin - congrats, theres a definite line!!

purplepoet - good luck with the move, hope it all goes well

[ltester]

Yay! So excited for you, myurkanin! Wishing you a perfect 9 months!

[myurkanin817]

Thank you so much girls!!!! I'm so nervous!!!!!!! :nails:

[bluebonnet22]

Congrats myurkanin! Enjoy your first pregnancy!

[TaniaLl]

Congrats Myurkanin!! Wishing you the best of pregnancies!! My AF is due on the 14th and tested negative on the Wondfo so I might go buy a real PT.

Really happy for you!!!

[Jamie86]

Congratulations myurkanin!!!

[myurkanin817]

Yup! I'd go buy a first response. My wondfo is still coming back negative. I'll let u know when it gets positive so you know.

Well I think I'm out for the month unfortunately, I started spotting today after dtd so AF is on her ugly way!

Really disappointed too, after failed HT was hoping for some goo news.

[ltester]

Sorry to hear it, TaniaLI. It is so hard when AF comes. I think I'm going to wait rather than test--I don't know if I could bear a bfn and then still just wait for AF to come.

Anxious to see more positive lines out there!

[TaniaLl]

It's really devastating, buy seeing all these other ladies getting BFP s gives me hope.

I started testing really early and I think next month I'm going to wait. Seeing so many BFN s in a row really gets you down!

[myurkanin817]

Bfn do definitely get you down. I had two or three in a row and it got me so sad even thought I knew it was too early!

[Nahri]

the insanity of it all I'm going crazy!!

[Jamie86]

I said I wasn't going to read into "symptoms" but I have gotten over my sickness from earlier this week and now I'm back analyzing everything. I have had a lot of watery discharge (like I have to wear a panty liner), I've been crying about everything and despite losing 3 lbs I'm bloated and have a lot of gas. This is how I've felt before in early pregnancy (as in before BFP) however last year I had an experience where I felt this way and was convinced I was pregnant but then AF came (a couple days late). I didn't want to be pregnant at the time but now I trust myself less. I wasn't super hopeful about this cycle but now I find myself more hopeful and a little worried about my hopes being dashed. I'm trying to see both outcomes as positive. If I'm not pregnant we won't have to deal with the "birthday issue" (if I am pregnant right now I'd be due the day of or 1 day after DS1s birthday) and if I am then Yay!

[Jamie86]

And so sorry to the ladies who have had AF show her ugly face!

[bluebonnet22]

GL Jamie! I'm sitting here symptom spotting as well. I'm only 4 dpo and having tons of cramping (not normal for me) and obviously trying to ignore it, but it isn't easy!

[BlessedMomma]

Good luck ladies I hope we all get our bfps this month. So far im 3dpo and zero symptoms

[girliedreamz]

Yay, myukranin!! Congrats!

[Nahri]

Symptoms get into your head so easily during this dreaded 2WW and you think everything is a possible sign and its either that or a let down. Like me for example I promise you I could eat EVERYTHING in my fridge and still be hungry, Im bloaty, theres angry mood swings, and the past few nights those awful vivid dreams you cant shake when you are pregnant. I told my hubby I better get a BFP next week because then at least I have a logical explanation for trying to devour all the groceries in the house lol

[stephk]

Sorry for the repetition ladies but.... SO weird STILL no AF and now I'm 12dpo (could have miscalculated and be 11dpo but I think 12.)

Yesterday I was convinced she was coming, was constantly checking in the loo, had AF cramps on and off etc. Today my temp is up again - WTF!? My OPK is still neg but darker, and on a PG test I have a situation where my eyes are playing tricks but deep down I think it's neg. if no AF by the time I finish work I'm tempted to buy a digital.

And I had just ordered a load of rose champers to console myself!!!!!

[Rosie85]

Steph I bet you anything its a bfp just taking its sweet time!!

[odd]

Oooh..so excited for u to test..rooting for u steph - I bet it's a BFP

[stephk]

Thanks guys, I'm taking it pretty easy on the cross trainer right now!!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Go get a FRER!! 😉

[stephk]

19765

THANKS BE TO GOD!!!!!!!

I cant stop shaking!

[sweetdream]

Yeah! StephK! I knew it was you! congrats!

[bluebonnet22]

OMG! So so happy for you! Huge congrats! Go eat some meat ☺!

[Girl Dreaming 55]

Omg that's amazing news!!!! Congrats!!

[oncue]

Congrats! That's wonderful news xo

[stephk]

not fussed about meat but I am looking forward to snacking - will def eat some meat at this weekends BBQs though!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Congratulated you on the other thread, but so super excited had to say it again....CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[ltester]

Steph, that is just so exciting! Here's to a smooth sailing nine months!

[odd]

Congratulations steph!!!!!!!!

[Rosie85]

Hooray Steph! !!!!! Best news of the week for sure! Congrats and enjoy your snacking!

[Jamie86]

Congratulations Steph! I was going to tell you the story of my cousin earlier but then decided against it in case you didn't get a BFP but I guess now I can tell it. My cousin had been trying for almost a year when she conceived her daughter. The cycle she got her BFP her temp dropped and she was so sure the cycle was a bust she went out and had a few drinks and a few days later BFP!

[stephk]

Thank you everyone! Looking forward to more BFP news (and a pos OPK for lyagirl!)

[girliedreamz]

Yaaaaaaaay! Steph!!!!!!!! :D I am so freakin thrilled for you!!

[butterflywarbie]

congrats on the bfp girls whooohooooooo, well my last pos opk was the 25th of june we bd that night and the morning after, so i guess im 16 dpo so im going to do a preggas test tonight, i have been getting excited but yesterday i started to get brown discharge and i normally start to get that 3 days before my period so im already getting negative thoughts, ive just got two tickets to dr potters seminar next week to find out more info on ht, we cant afford it right now but the thought of going months trying to get pregnant n then mayb having another boy is making me wonder if we should get a loan, arggggggggg sorry for the moan girls ;( just peeed off xx

[BlessedMomma]

Sorry butterfly. Hopefully the spotting u experienced could b implantation bleeding?

[BlessedMomma]

Ok so im only 4dpo and I have no idea y im writing this down because its so early and its silly. I have been very hungry the past 2 days like eating non stop (sorry le diet) yesterday I had minor nausea very minor but I was obviously paying attention to my body. Today again very minor nausea and then I couldnt finish my coffee and that Never happens (I love my coffee). Im so annoyed at myself because im only 4dpo and my hopes r so high. :( I just want to b pregnant sobadly. And ofcourse im soohappy for u ladies steph myurkanin and mum and all the other ladies who received bfps. Im praying so hard 2 join u ladies soon.

[lyngostar]

I'm so happy for u steph!!! :) it was defo ur turn to get a bfp.x

[Rosie85]

Blessed. You can have nausea 4 dpo. It could be either progesterone or pregnancy related or both. When I'm pregnant my progesterone symptoms are always intensified compared to when I'm not.

[stephk]

Blessedmomma - the 2ww really sucks, it's absolute torture! Rosie is right, you could be feeling it regardless. Hoping you get a BFP in a weeks time x

[Christi]

Congrats to everyone with a BFP. I am so happy (and a little sad) today. My very best friend in the whole wide world since I was 5 years old just got a BFP (she wasn't swaying). I am 11 dpo and tested this morning (I know, it is still a little early), and got a BFN. Obviously, I am genuinely thrilled for my friend, but I was so hoping we would get preggo the same month, but it looks like it won't happen given the fact that when I was preggo with DS I got a positive on 11 dpo. AF isn't due until Monday, so I will retest then if she doesn't show up, but it is still a bit of a bummer.

My friend and I were really lucky, entirely unintentionally, we had our first boys 11 days apart. It was awesome because they were doing all the same stuff at the same time and we were having the same challenges and celebrations around the same time. I was just hoping to get to do that again for babies #2.

On the flip side, I was invited to interview for my DREAM job this week (it's a long shot, but still an interview is the first step to getting it), so if I get the job, it might be better if I am not pregnant. So its a bit of a mixed bag for me today.... sigh....

[Jamie86]

I'm really hoping feeling like I'm going to start AF any minute when I'm only 6DPO is a good sign. I'm cramping and my back and legs are hurting which usually means AF is coming but it's not time for that yet.

[stephk]

Hey Christi, I only got my BFP today at 12dpo with a digital. The cheapies were bfn today and yesterday. With my DS I had faint positive lines on 11dpo. Go for that interview regardless! Good luck!

Jamie - fingers crossed it's implantation :)

[Christi]

Oh, absolutely, I am going to the interview, regardless--I worked until the day before I went into labor and I'm sure that I will do the same thing this time around.

Steph, thanks for the pep talk about the negative result, it is still early, and I was using a cheapie so Monday may be a different story. (And of course, congrats on your BFP!!!!) But I still have an intuition that I'm not preggo this go round. We aggressively swayed for our first month TTC, so it's not like I've been getting BFN for months on end or anything. We might loosen a select few things for TTC month #2 (like increasing the time between repHresh and the attempt), but I will have this child for the rest of my life, so being patient to try to do the best (and reasonable) sway possible is important to me. I will be happy to have a healthy baby of any gender (since this is our last), but I want to know in my heart that we did everything reasonably within our power to sway for a girl.

Swaying reminds me of this prayer that my mom used to have hanging on her wall--
"God, God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."

While we are trying to NOT be all Martha (at least for TTC pink), we do want to change the things we can (diet, supplements, pH, frequent release, one attempt, etc...), we also have to accept the things that we cannot change. May we all have the wisdom to know the difference!!

Good luck to everyone!

[BlessedMomma]

Omg christi I have been saying that prayer to myself for the past couple of days!! The words are soo true. Thank u for sharing it. :)

Rosie ur early symptoms give me soo much hope yhat maybe im not imagining it. And maybe the more pregnancies u have the earlier u feel them??

Steph again im so happy for ur bfp!

[BlessedMomma]

Jamie I would take that as a very good sign!

[daisymoo]

Oh my god was just checking this thread and cannot believe what I'm reading!! Massive massive huge congrats Steph!!! That is the most amazing news ever! So happy for you You so deserve this girlie!!!!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Fingers crossed for you BlessedMomma!! It has to be your turn next. 💜💜

And goodluck with your interview Christi! 😊 And my cheap tests were still all negative til yesterday, despite my very dark BFP on FRER over a week ago. Oh, and my intuition was very wrong!! 😉

Jamie, hope it's implantation!

[essnce629]

Just got back from vacation a few hours ago and saw your awesome news Steph!!!!! Sooo excited for you! Congrats! I hope I'll be joining you next month!

[Christi]

Hmmm.... so I just got a teeny tiny spot of dark brown dried looking spotting tonight (11 dpo)... maybe implantation spotting?? AF doesn't usually start this way for me so it is definitely something different. I'm trying not to read too much into this, but this is my first sort of symptom that might be a glimmer of pregnancy. Cautiously optimistic........ come on BFP!!!!! (Om, om, om, going to my zen place of patience and serenity so I am not peeing on a stick every time I go to the bathroom, LOL....)

[ltester]

That sounds really promising, Christi! I hope this is it for you! Are you going to try and test early?

Still trying not to get my hopes up too much so I am not testing, and it will be a happy surprise if AF doesn't show. I have never still had sore breasts for this long (and as early as I did) when not pregnant, but it feels too much to hope for after such a long journey. Thanks for sharing the Serenity prayer, though--I needed that!

[girliedreamz]

I know I said I wasn't testing this weekend, but spurred on by steph's bfp and the thought that there will be tons of drinking at ds's birthday party, I broke down and tested this morning. ohmigosh, the faintest of pink links with the frer! I feel almost silly posting a pic as I could just barely see that second pink line in person, and I'm not even sure if its showing up on the pic at all. Somehow, I need a stronger line to convince me it's real. Lol! But I'm feeling cautiously optimistic today. :D

I see it. Congratulations girldreamz :D

[Rosie85]

I see it too! Congrats girlie!!!

I definitely see that! It looks like my 9DPO positive with DD and I know what you mean about wanting a darker one for it to feel real but to me it looks real enough for a CONGRATULATIONS!

[girliedreamz]

Thanks! I'm already planning the gooey grilled cheeses I'll have for dinner to celebrate. Lol! I tried to make one for breakfast...but all the cheese in our house has been so unused that it's molded. Ha! Crossing my fingers it was enough for sticky pinkness.

[TaniaLl]

So many BFPs! Congrats to you ladies!

[stephk]

Yay Girliedreamz congrats!! Enjoy the cheese!! :)

[ltester]

Fantastic news!

[BlessedMomma]

Girlie any line is better then the stark white hpts ive been seeing. Congrats again! :)

I got my positive on first response yesterday, so today I celebrated with a brownie and a spoon of ice cream.... It was so friggin good, but I got a bad stomach ache. I haven't had any processed food in three months and I am allergic to dairy, but, wow!! It was worth the pain..... Lol

[stephk]

Congrats Red!! What a fab month for BFPs!

[Red]

Just wanted to say..............

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!!! On your very new pregnancies.....

[ltester]

I'm still in the 2ww... I have been trying to wait, as I know it is pretty hard not getting a bfp. Yesterday was a tough day for me--lots of interactions with baby related things--and I feel a little silly feeling optimistic when so many months have come and gone. Yes, this month feels different, but I guess it would be a miracle for it to be. I'm trying to just assume it's a negative so that I won't be disappointed, but I know it will still be hard.

That said, I am so thrilled for all of you who are getting your bfps. For some reason, it isn't hard to get your good news, probably because you all understand the deep desire of this.

[Red]

I posted update test pics on my thread...

[Jamie86]

I'm 8DPO right now and I've been feeling pretty crappy. DH is working nights, he hasn't in a long while and I'm not good with schedule changes so that could be it. But this morning I caved and used one of my IC pregnancy tests it's a "sure predict" that says it detects 10miu. I thought I saw a "hint" of a line so I put it on countdown to pregnancy and so far the vote is 70% positive (with 21 votes). It's definitely nothing I would call a BFP so I probably shouldn't have tested because now my hopes are way up. (I dumped the pee while it was developing because I really thought there was no way anything would be on it so I'm trying to hold my pee to take a FRER later). http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/14/vadatuva.jpg

[Jamie86]

And now looking at that pic on here I realize it's really not noticeable at all. In person I can see it and if you play with the tools on countdown to pregnancy you can see it but I definitely think if you have to work that hard it's not a BFP but I'm anxious to test again.

Hang in there.... My cheapie wondfu was negative the same day I used first response later in the afternoon which resulted in positive.... .. I only got a positive very faintly, today, on my wondfu strip.

[essnce629]

Good luck Jamie! I "think" I might see something, but I didn't have good results with SurePredict (evap line or false + for me) so I'd try a FRER asap.

I learned yesterday that my best friend (who has 2 boys and swayed for 7 months) went in for her big 12 week appointment on Tuesday and there was no heartbeat. :( She had a D&C on Thursday and is devastated. She asked me to update her sway in the post your sway section so I just did. I'm so sad for her as we had hoped to be pregnant together. She had all the signs of a healthy pregnancy and can't believe this happened to her. :(

THANKS BE TO GOD!!!!!!!

I cant stop shaking!

I only just spotted this! Congratulations xxxxx

[Jamie86]

Essnce thanks for telling me about the sure predict now I know not to have my hopes up.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, that is heart breaking. That also just happened to a friend of mine. She was not swaying but had gotten pregnant with her 2nd and was about 9 weeks when they could not find a heartbeat. She had a D&C last week. It's so sad and scary.

[ltester]

Well, I'm out. AF is three days early--at least the pain of not knowing wasn't dragged out til Wednesday. Good luck to the rest of you.

So sorry :(

[Girl Dreaming 55]

I'm still in 2ww I'm 7dpo but had a massive temp dip this am but I think it's because I had a rubbish sleep and was up at 4am then took temp at 6.15 when I woke again which can muck it up. I've also still got some very small brown discharge on wiping. I'm not convinced this month at all as my temps were slow to rise and I was bleeding for a couple of days bright red straight after ovulation. I'm going on holiday on Saturday for a week and AF is due (how annoying) so I really hope she doesn't show! Plus I've trapped a nerve in my back so that had better get better before sat too! Congrats on all the BFP's looking forward to seeing some more fx for us all!

[stephk]

Ltester - I am so sorry AF came. Does this mean your LP is shorter?

Jamie - hang in there, my cheapie test was negative on Friday although there was eye trickery going on so I bought a digital and got a positive. I retested using a cheapie today and there was a positive faint line :) it's still early for you.

Essnce I am so, so sorry to hear about your friend. She must be so devastated and she is lucky to have you as a friend. It must be so shocking and heartbreaking to go through. Please send my hugs and prayers to her.

Girl dreaming - at around 7dpo apparently there is a burst of estrogen and this might result in a temp dip, or it could be implantation. I had a mass panic at around 8dpo as my temp dropped hugely, I tought AF was coming early too as I was in so much pain. My temp was back up the following day and must have been implantation. My temps are always slow to rise after O too. Don't count yourself out yet (easier said than done I know!)

[Marika]

Just got back from a weeks holidays and couldn't wait to log in here and see some news - and wow, it seems to have been such a good week! Congratulations to all who got BFPs!

stephk - I am SO SO HAPPY for you!!! It was really your turn now, I was so hoping you would get that line soon. :cheerteam:

[stephk]

Thank you - it is a relief as I was thinking of switching to smep!!!

[stephk]

Hope you had a fab holiday by the way :)

[Jamie86]

Ok I don't want to drive you guys insane but I was at my moms with the kids all day and held my pee from 1 until 430 and then took at FRER and an IC and I think I see *something* on both but the FRER is harder to get a picture of. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/14/2ame9age.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/14/jevezazy.jpg

[Red]

I see it....congrats!

[stephk]

I can see it!!! Congrats! What fab news :)

[Christi]

Well, i'm almost certain I am out. AF is due tomorrow, but I finally did an early prediction test which says it is 98% accurate 1 day before your expected period and it was definitely a big fat negative. I knew we did an aggressive sway this month, so I tried not to get my hopes too high but it is still disappointing, especially because my very best friend got preggo this month and it would have been sooooo cool to have almost the same due date. (Our first children are only 11 days apart, and it was so awesome!)

Essence, I feel so bad for your friend, and I really empathize about how you feel about losing the opportunity to be pregnant with your friend. Who knows, she could get pregnant again in a few months and you could still be pregnant together.

Ltester, so sorry to hear about AF. I am pretty sure I a going to feel the full force of your disappointment tomorrow or the next day when aunt flo is due to rear her ugly head.

Congrats to all those BFP out there--it is an inspiration and gives me hope for next month!

[stephk]

Sorry to hear that Christi. Definitely treat yourself to a yummy cake to make up for it :)

[ltester]

I'm sorry to hear it, Christi. It is amazing how disappointing it can be, and I totally understand wanting to time your pregnancy with your friend. Another month or two won't make a huge difference in the long run, though.

I was surprised about the three day early arrival--very unusual for me. I am 27/28 days, like clockwork. I'll have to be better about tracking my ovulation, although I've not had great luck accurately reading the little sticks. Hmmm... Something to ponder!

[TaniaLl]

So this happened! I had counted myself out for the month because I was spotting after DTD (twice!). I for sure thought there was no way... My sway was kinda messed up. We jumped the gun and did a day before +OPK, I douched and we DTD right after, when we were supposed to wait an hour (DH couldn't hold it!!). He spilled SYLK all over me, so I thought for sure all his little ones are done!!! Lol

So yesterday I was feeling a lil off and decided to take an IC, and I saw a shadow! I went to buy a FREPT and saw a shadow too... I tested this morning (like at 4 am, I couldn't sleep!) and there it is... it's faint but it's there!!!

And guess what?!?!? I HAD BREAKFAST!!!!! I had a big fat bagel with tons of REGULAR cream cheese!!! LOL, I know I'm a lil delirious, no sleep, and I have an interview this AM!

I did want to ask, today is 15 dpo and line is faint... that's not a bad sign is it??

Congratulations!!! I don't think it's a bad sign, implantation just happened later. I hope your interview goes well!

[BlessedMomma]

Congrats to u tania!!! How I wish im able to join u soon:(

Im 7dpo today no symptoms besides my back and hips feel a little sore. Im really sick of this tww and sick of feeling hope 1 second and despair the next. This is my 4th month ttc I just dont get whats taking so long. I know I could possibly b pregnant but after 3 months of bfns I just cant picture getting a bfp. I know its early for symptoms I just wish I didnt have pre af symptoms!! If I was feeling normal I would b happy because I never had any symptoms in my previous 2ww pregnancies :( uhhhhhhhhh so sad right now :*(

[stephk]

Tania - congrats wow sounds like there were a few very strong swimmers there!!

Blessed it's such a mindf**k I'm so sorry. You never know though, I don't think you can count yourself out based on symptoms or lack of them. 2ww really sucks :( - what are you doing to sway?

[Nahri]

Hey never give up until Aunt Flo rears her ugly head. 99.9% accurate the day of your missed period apparently means I am the .1% because with my DS I didn't get a BFP until 1-2 days after my missed! Im still getting BFN and AF should have been today or possibly tomorrow. my cycle length is always a day or two +/- every time. But thats just my :twocents:
:poas:

[BlessedMomma]

I know steph ur right about it being too early and 100% right about the mindf***.. please blow some baby dust this way...
And I was strict the first 2months and did makweconception almost impossible, but the past 2 months only lediet exercise and bd at +opk

[BlessedMomma]

Good luck nahri!

[girliedreamz]

So sorry, ltester and christi. No fun. :(

Thanks totally a line, Tania! Congrats!!

Good luck, Nahri!

[stephk]

Blessed in that case you have a great chance - I was also only doing diet, exercise and one attempt at positive OPK. It's so horrible each unsuccessful month, I totally get it. Book something nice involving your favourite drink and/or food in advance. That way if AF comes, you can indulge and if not you can cancel and not care. This month I had booked an unlimited bubbles afternoon tea and had ordered lots if rose champagne. So if I had been disappointed yet again at least I would have something to look forward to! Really hope it's your month.

[SamS_TTCPink]

I'm away in the Gold Coast and haven't got internet much so missed so much in the past 2 days! But congrats Taina!! WooHoo!! 😊👍

[Jamie86]

I think this makes those faint lines official! Even though I've felt strange this past week I'm a little shocked because I kept thinking it was probably all in my head. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/15/dazesapa.jpg

[oncue]

Congrats Jamie! It doesn't get any more positive than that xo

[ltester]

So wonderful, Jamie! Congratulations!

[TishTashTosh]

OMG - looks like I am accidentally in the 2WW!

I am half way through my last cycle before we make a first pink sway attempt during my next cycle. I have been using this month as a test i.e., supplements, diet & OPKs etc as I wanted to be familiar with everything and not stressing during my proper attempt next month.

DH and I have had unprotected DTD inc. a couple of withdrawals this cycle and after the last time Sunday we planned to use protection as it will be then 10 days before my normal O date (I have been charting for the last 8 months and can now normally predict within a day or so). I felt fairly confident his sperm wouldnt stay around for 10 days!

HOWEVER on Monday (yesterday ) I had side pains and low back ache so on a whim I took an OPK.... it was blaring glaringly POSITIVE. I now believe that O is EIGHT days early and I can only assume that either diets or supplements have caused this.

If so it means I around 11pm DDT (no withdrawal - me on top... sorry for TMI) on Sunday night just before a positive OPK at 11am on Monday morning! So I am guessing this is going to be classed as an attempt even if I didnt plan it as so :-(

I am disappointed as l was all geared up for an attempt next cycle. Now worried that if I am pregnant I wouldnt have been doing everything for long enough. I have been on LE diet for 4 weeks and both me and hubby (OLE, Soy & LR) have been taking supplements for just over 2 weeks.

Nothing I can do about it now so guess I will just have to wait and see.

Im in this with you for a couple of weeks ladies!

[daisymoo]

Congrats to all the ladies with bfps this week There has been a lot! And best of luck to all with upcoming attempts and those in 2ww Have everything crossed for ye!!

[stephk]

TishTashTosh - good luck!! If you are PG at least you were relaxed about it because you werent really trying - keep up with the diet etc just in case and then if you are not PG you are in with a great shot next time

[TishTashTosh]

Thanks StephK! Yes I think you are right - I plan to carry on exactly as if this oops hasnt happened i.e., carrying on with diet, supplements etc with the view that next month is my first attempt month.

However, I know I will be unable to resist taking a test in about 10 days... I am already feeling that 2WW itch!!!

In terms of timing do you think that DTD at 11pm before a positive OPK at 11am is ok for pink?

[SamS_TTCPink]

Congrats Jamie!

[SamS_TTCPink]

I agree with steph TishTashTosh, I think it's in your pink favour that you were relaxed as it wasn't really your attempt. 😊
Goodluck!!

[TishTashTosh]

@MumofSix_TTcPink I hope that if this is my month you are right!

Think I will hand out here for the next couple of weeks just in case :-)

[stephk]

Yes sounds perfectly timed :)

[TaniaLl]

So after I got that faint BFP, I got a positive result in a CB digital and showed 1-2 weeks. I wanted to make sure the line got darker, but actually it's close to non existent now. Digital gave me not pregnant result now. I am guessing chemical? I don't know, I'm just so sad. And to top it all off I've been pigging out :(

[girliedreamz]

Oh, Tania! I'm so sorry! Sweetie, pig out all you want. How heartbreaking. :(

[TishTashTosh]

Sorry to hear that Tania x

19882 ok ladies so these are opks from 7dpo 8 dpo then today 9dpo... do the lines look like they r getting darker to u???

[BlessedMomma]

I feel like todays line looks darker then the previous days, but I wont get excited unless it gets darker tomorrow.

[stephk]

They are definitely getting darker!!! have you got any PG tests to take tomorrow?

[Girl Dreaming 55]

19883
What do we think evap line? I took the test then had a quick shower but was probably over 5 mins. I'm not feeling great really nauseous this am but think that's because of my sore back I've got a bulging disc! Any opinions welcome girls!

[Girl Dreaming 55]

Ps this wasn't first morning urine as I was up most of the night feeling ill :(

[BlessedMomma]

Girl dreaming I def see a line!!!! Congrats :)

[BlessedMomma]

I do steph. But ill only b 10dpo and im so scared of a bfn!! Especially because of these f#%/!^&£ cramps im having. I wanted to wait til 11dpo. Unless somehow I get some outstanding symptoms

[TishTashTosh]

ok ladies so these are opks from 7dpo 8 dpo then today 9dpo... do the lines look like they r getting darker to u???

Yes they 100% are getting darker.... I reckon a big congratulations is needed!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Defiantly 2 lines Girl Dreaming!! 😀😀

And BlessedMomma, they are defiantly getting darker!!! 👍

Yay! Looks like more BFPs this month. 👍😊💜

[TishTashTosh]

I reckon that is too dark for an evaporation line - congratulations!

[BlessedMomma]

Thanks tish tosh I hope u can congratulate me in a couple of days.
Im hoping it gets darker tomorrow then I might use a hpt. But if its not then ill wait til 11dpo

[BlessedMomma]

Mum from ur mouth to Gods ears!!! If I dont get a bfp this month im out until september. Imgoing away without hubby for the whole month of august. :(

[stephk]

That's a BFP girl dreaming congrats!!!

[Nahri]

damn you aunt Flo... Oh well back to the drawing board. The funny thing is my app says that If I were to conceive this time around my due date would be my DS 3rd birthday HAHAHAHAH. I dont need to buy you presents I got you a sibling :D Catch you guys on the next edition of 2WW :D

[Girl Dreaming 55]

Thanks for the messages I'm only 10dpo and I'm still not sure I believe but got a sensitive superdrug test to use tomorrow morning so we will see then! Deep down id be so thrilled but I need to try and not get too carried away :/ blessed you should test too your nearly the same dpo as me! Bit worried thou as I've been knocking back the paracetamol and ibuprofen from my bulging disc in my back hope I've not done any damage! :/

[TishTashTosh]

Sorry to hear that Nahri :-(

[essnce629]

Sorry you're out Nahri! I'll be trying with you in August, as I'm sitting this month out. Good luck to both of us next time!

Girl Dreaming that's definitely a second line! Congrats to you!!!

Blessed-- I really think you'll be getting a BFP tomorrow!!! Can't wait to see your pics!

Tania-- So sorry about the chemical, that sucks! I hope the next bean is a sticky one. (((HUGS)))

[bluebonnet22]

Girl dreaming - Congrats on the bfp!!!
Nahia - sorry about AF, hope August is your month
Tania - I'm so sorry for your chemical, hope next month you get a sticky bfp!

I tested today in the afternoon (10 dpo) and BFN. Trying not to get discouraged because I know it's early, but I did use FRER and I think there's only a 30% false negative rate at this stage. Looks like odds are this isn't my month! I will be testing again tomorrow (11 dpo) with another FRER but don't expect anything to change. I'm nearly positive I'm taking August off because we are leaving for a big Europe trip at the end of the month next month and would be nice not to be pregnant in Europe. I'm due to ovulate the first day of the trip over there, so would be fun to conceive a baby on vacation. I'm trying to do my best to see the silver lining of my BFN this month. :)

[BlessedMomma]

Girl dreaming im sure ur bfp will b darker tomorrow!!!
Idk if im going to test in the am because im having af style cramping :( ive read it can b an early sign of pregnancy, but its never been a good sign for me :(

Blue its still early its still possible u implanted later or even today and u dont have enough hormoone in ur urine

[Rosie85]

Blessed if your opks are getting darker it's going to be a positve pregnancy test. The cramps are from pregnancy. I am getting terrible af style cramps as we speak and have since before I tested.

[Girl Dreaming 55]

19889
This was FMU on a superdrug sensitive one. My urine wasn't that concentrated as I was thirsty when I went to bed and drank a fair bit. I do think it's positive! I'm having terrible pain on my breastbone I think it might be heartburn but I've never had it before. It doesn't travel up it's just there coming and going and really painful! along with my bulging disc in my back I'm finding it difficult to be really happy as I'm in so much pain and I'm trying not to take any pain relief. Blessed I also did a OPK this am just to see and that was positive so maybe you should test?

[stephk]

Bluebonnet - 10dpo is still early I didn't get a BFP until 12dpo and that was a digi.

Girl dreaming congrats again, fab that the lines are getting darker :)

Blessed I can't wait for you to test!!! AF cramps can also be a sign of pg, good luck!

I am flying to Zurich at 1pm today for my friends wedding so I will likely not be back here until Sunday night unless there is wifi - looking forward to lots of BFP news :)

[BlessedMomma]

Omg ladies im so scared to get my hopes up. LAST NIGHT I HAD A DREAM I had 2 bfps and in the am I decided to test but used an opk first. Opk was lighter then yesterday :( but then dcided to use a frer anyway and I thought I saw something. Ladies this is 4th month ttc im use to 1 line period. There was a fainter tgen faint second line!!! But so faint its hard to see irl ouldnt get a pic... then I decided to test again using smu and again!! A fainter then faint second line!!!! Im so excited but scared because its so faint. Im only 10dpo and with ds2 I had a faint line at 14dpo so that part gives me hope.
Do u think I could b pregnant ???? Even with extremely faint squinters??? And lighter opk??

[Rosie85]

Yay blessed, yes! A line is a line. Opks are not reliable in early morning so I wouldn't count that. On frer...A line is a line! Congrats and can't wait to see/hear it get darker. Post a pic!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Like Rosie said...I a FRER a line is a line!! 😊😊😊
Defiantly post a pic.

When I tested it was because id had a dream the night before that id gotten a BFP too!! 😀

[bluebonnet22]

Girlie - congrats, that's a great line!
Blessed - a line is a line, especially that early!! Congrats to you!!

11 dpo this morning for me, and BFN with FMU. I think statistically speaking it's 90% chance I'm out, and at this point I just want AF to start so I can stop being hopeful! I've decided to buy myself a few new clothing items if AF shows to cheer me up. I've never been this tiny before (US size 4) and since we aren't attempting again for 6 weeks I could actually get some wear out of them for a couple of months (or more) before getting fat again!

[BlessedMomma]

Im sorry blue :( but again u r not out til af shows her nasty face!

[BlessedMomma]

Rosie and mum u guys r making me so excited and believe me I am just so happy not to look at a blaring white hpt. BUT im still scared the second line is so extremely faint at first glance it looks negative. But would 2 tests with different urine show an Extremely faint squinter? I cant wait til tomorrow now to test again!!!

[BlessedMomma]

Mum I remember u talked about ur dream too I actually thought about that this morning while testing :)

[stephk]

Omg I am SO glad there's free wifi in my hotel to see this fab news!! Blessed I bet you will see a darker line tomorrow!! So funny - a few days before my BFP I also dreamed about getting a BFP!!! Realise it took a few days of BFNs to get to the BFP but how cool! I really hope you get something conclusive tomorrow and it sounds like you will!

Blue - sorry to hear about the bfn, I agree definitely treat yourself to nice clothes. I am enjoying wearing a few smaller items too while I can :)

I'm at this hotel and there are mini bottles of prosecco in the mini bar and really well priced too :( of course I can't hVe one as I will have one or two at the wedding, can't overdo it. I might treat myself to room service though later (they have thai, Chinese and sushi) - shame the food is expensive! Oh well :)

[bluebonnet22]

stephk - I'd rather have yummy asian food than prosecco anyways ;)

[BlessedMomma]

Steph I hope u have a fabulous time at ur friends wedding!!! :)
I pray im able to update with a darker positivetomorrow in the am.. im already excited and now I feel pregnant I hope its true ♡♡♡

[stephk]

True....I like some prosecco and this one might not be one that I would like anyway. Whereas champagne is a different story hehe and my friend will have the proper stuff :)

[stephk]

Look forward to your update blessed!

[BlessedMomma]

19892
Ok ladies heres my major barely there squinter. I have no idea if ur able 19892t19892 c it as its hard to see irl.

[BlessedMomma]

Sorry it uploaded 3 times and now I feel silly cuz I cant even c it in the pic.

[stephk]

I think I can see something but I'm not 100%! Will you test again in the morning?

[Rosie85]

Blessed. With my ds2 the line was so faint with the 1st test it took magical eyes to see it...but it was there. Got way darker two days later!

[BlessedMomma]

Its definantly more visible irl I promise. Im not so worried because 10dpo is early for me. Haha rosie I guess u do need magical eyes 2 c mine as well.
Steph I will def b testing again in the am! Praying for a darker line

[Jamie86]

I see what you are talking about! The first two days of seeing a squinter on my FRERs I could not get a picture where it showed what I could see but now it's much darker. I really hope the same happens for you BlessedMomma!

[BlessedMomma]

Thank u jamie!! I really hope its darker tomorrow, they say hcg doubles every 24 to 48 hours so I hope in my case its 48 hours haha :)

[BlessedMomma]

24**** oops

[essnce629]

Bluebonnet - I hope you just implanted late and still have a chance! Good luck!

Girl Dreaming-- awesome lines!!! Congrats!!!

Blessed-- I "think" I see something! It's hard cause there's a shadow over the test window! I'll be looking for you darker BFP tomorrow! Good luck! My 10dpo test on a cheapie with DS2 was also super super faint and you needed magic eyes!

[Girl Dreaming 55]

Blessed I cannot wait to see ur test today! Steph have an amazing time at the wedding! I'm off on holiday tomorrow but should still have wifi so I can keep updated! More BFP pls! :)

[BlessedMomma]

Ok girls just took a test again. Andd a 2nd line popped up again with the 3 min window! But its still so faint, not darker then yesterday. With ds2 14dpo I had a faint line as well so that dosnt worry me. I just wont b able to get a pic of it its too light... :( anyway fx tomorrow
Ps. Should I be concerned that my line isnt darker after almost 24hours?

[stephk]

No don't be concerned mine have been slow to get darker but they are definitely datker

[BlessedMomma]

I really hope that my test gets darker tomorrow. Ill be 12dpo. Is there any point in buying the clearblue to confirm the frers ive taken? Is the clearblue as sensitive?

[BlessedMomma]

This is 11dpo fmu. 19912

[Rosie85]

I can definitely see a line blessed! I am guessing you implanted at 10 dpo. Congrats!!!

[angielorna]

Yup that's a second line for sure!!!! Congratulations :) And I'm pretty sure it IS darker than yesterdays since, if I'm not mistaken, the picture couldn't really capture the line yesterday and .... well....it's visible today for sure! And hcg levels take 48 hours or so to double, so it still being faint is understandable.

Congrats, congrats, congrats!!!!

[angielorna]

wrong place :P

[BlessedMomma]

Thank u angie! I was thinking the same , im actually able to capture this line and yesterdays it was impossible.
Rosie I think ur right. I had the dream nightof 9dpo/10dpo so it makes sense I probably implanted then

Im so happy im able to join u ladies in the bfp club. :)

[BlessedMomma]

Hahaha. Why do u want to change it to the 16th?

[angielorna]

oops, wrong place :P

[girliedreamz]

Congrats, blessed! That looks darker to me as I can totally see a line today.

What a month for bfps...crossing my fingers for everyone else still waiting!!

[Boysway]

Congratulations blessed. I can definitely see the line.

[essnce629]

Blessed I definitely see that line more than yesterday so it is getting darker! I'd try again tomorrow with 2nd morning urine. Congrats!!!

Can you guys see this? I'm 14 days past my IUI. It took many minutes to see some faint shadow of something. Am I crazy?

[coocoobananas]

I see it!!
Weren't you in my due date group? Think this is it for you! Wish you a sticky and pink right? Little bean:)

[Boysway]

Keshet, yes I definitely see the line. Congratulations.

[Keshet]

Does it matter that it took like 5 minutes to show up? Coocoobananas, I was previously in the same roll call group as you but had a miscarriage in February. I went on to have a regular IUI and here I am.

[stephk]

Keys hey and blessed - definite lines there congrats!!

Fantastic month for BFPs! Good luck to the ladies waiting to test :)

[SamS_TTCPink]

Blessed that line is defiantly darker!! 👍😀

[SamS_TTCPink]

[BlessedMomma]

Keshet that is def a line! Conrats.. wow this month has been amazing :) thank God for all these bfps and I hope they keep on comming.

Just wanted to update 12dpo smu the test was much darker!!!!! I truly feel blessed :)

[odd]

Keshet and blessed. Huge congratulations. July is defoa lucky month for all of us. Lets hope our little beans stick ♡

[girliedreamz]

I totally see that, Keshet! Congrats!!

[Keshet]

I took another test today and the line seems lighter today. Bummer.

[essnce629]

Keshet-- I definitely see the line easily in the first test. Was today's test taken with more diluted urine? Can you post pics of the two tests together? I hope you get a darker line with your next test.

[TishTashTosh]

Keshet - try not to worry.... was it the same type of test, same time of day i.e., try to avoid FMU

Considering I am having an 'Oopps' 2WW I am now driving myself crazy with symptom spotting!! I am only 5/6 dpo and have ordered some cheapo tests off the internet which should arrive on Wednesday when I am 8/9 dpo.... which will then commence the crazy daily POAS until a + or AF!

One minute I am convinced I am and the next I am sure I am not. I am very aware that at this stage even if I had caught an egg I would prob not implant for a day or so and so any 'signs' are in my head. So far I have backache, cramps, loads of creamy CM and boobs which hurt from the front whereas my normal PM chest ache is on the side. Temps have been rising steadily since O until today when had a big dip.... I am hoping they are all back up tomorrow.

I am seriously driving myself insane! Anyone else on the crazy train with me?!

[Keshet]

The tests that I used that were either hard to see or later blank were the dollar store tests. I had taken an early response test that said pregnant 1-2 weeks. But the dollar store one today looked pretty negative to me. I also had some spotting today.

[essnce629]

So sorry Keshet! Sounds like a chemical possibly. (((HUGS)))

[TishTashTosh]

Keshnet - oh no..... possibly a chemical as that is exactly what happened to my tests when I had one before ds2. Don't totally give up yet though until AF deffo here xxx

I retested this morning with my fmu. But the dollar store test takes about 5 minutes to show a faint line. I wonder if the clearblue is detecting a chemical or ovidrel? Could the ovidrel still be in my system after 2 weeks? Why are the dollar tests taking so long and why so faint?

[oncue]

Looking at those tests I would say ur pregnant. I really hope it all works out xo

[essnce629]

I think the dollar store tests tend to take longer and the lines are usually not very dark. I'd try a FRER. Hopefully you'd get a much darker line on that.

I have to tell you, with this pregnancy, the dollar store ones took forever to come up. Even though I had done like 100 other tests (FRER, digitals, etc), I kept testing with $store and for the first 3-4 days they gave me a mini stroke every time. Took forever to come up, came up faint. I ended up going and buying more FRER because I was so paranoid.

I don't know how long ovidrel is in your system (or what it is, for that matter). Did you ever get a neg before your first pos here? Did that make sense?

Anyway, I hope it's not a chemical and your lines get darker and more reassuring.

Good luck!
Angie

OH, and Blessed....where the heck is the progression pic :P

[Keshet]

Thank you. I just took a blood test this morning and the Dr. Office just called my HCG level is 58, which is low side for 17 days post IUI. Will check again in 2 days for an increase.

[Keshet]

She said that it could be late implantation, but she didn't sound too optimistic.

[girliedreamz]

So sorry, Keshet! How frustrating.

[Mrs_Incredible]

I hope it works out keshet, fx for you xx

Praying for you keshet - hope it works out.

[Boysway]

Fingers crossed your bfp continues Keshet.

AFM, For those of you that still pop in from when we were in the April/May/June groups etc. I finally got Dh off to the Dr. He goes for blood tests tomorrow to check his hormone levels. I hope things are easily sorted as I really don't think high tech is a road we will go on.

[stephk]

That's fantastic he is going for blood tests. I hope you guys manage to get some answers that are easy to fix

[Boysway]

Me too. I have majorly slipped off the wagon for the diet. I'm only good with taking the supps :( I don't know how much longer I can continue with this but I want to give it my all.

[daisymoo]

Boysway that's great about your dh I really hope he gets on well and that it all works out for ye It's a great step forward for ye I think you did really well getting your man to go to the doc in the first place I know that men will do anything to get out of those appointments!! I really hope it works out for ye and hope to see you on a due date thread very soon x

Thanks Daisymoo :D Honestly, dh has been experiencing difficulties for quite some time. It's just become a whole lot worse this year. I think that's why he realises something must be done. You know it's serious because he can't stand doctors or blood tests.

[daisymoo]

Well I'll be thinking of ye and hope it all works out for ye x
