I see it Fox! I bet it will darken up over the next couple of days! If you have a FRER, I bet you'll get a pink line in two days!!

Yay!!

I see it! Congrats hun! Hope it keeps darkening for you.

[maximbella]

Fox, awesome I totally see it!! How many dpo are you today??

[Roedinga1]

I for sure see it, Fox!!!

[foxtrotmama]

11 DPO, but I'm not temping (just counting O day as the day after +OPK) so it could be 10.

Okay ignore my obsessiveness but this is SMU with a cheap mid******. Last test I'll post today, promise. :D

35165

[Lolabelle]

Definitely see it foxtrot, yay!!!! 11dpo has always been the magic number for me...maybe it's really day 10 like you mentioned and fx it will get darker from here!!!! Agree with trying a FRER.

Maxim-That's what I always thought about boy/girl sperm too, but confused about that...so unsure.

[XXforhubby]

Congrats are in order Fox! Woohoo! Come join us in the Sept/Oct/Nov 2017 DD thread when you feel comfortable.

Yay [emoji92][emoji93][emoji94]!

[Erin514]

Congrats, Fox, for kicking us off on a positive (although I guess this is technically still February. Just post again tomorrow). Here's hoping there will be many more to follow.
Shannshaff, are you planning on testing everyday or waiting a bit? I hope you'll get a BFP too!

[maximbella]

Shan, I got negatives with both DD's at 8dpo, and then it turned into a faint positive at 9dpo. Looking forward to seeing your tests tomorrow! I'm starting then also! :)

[fiveboys]

Finally got a solid face yayyyyy.. was still negative at 1 this afternoon but my migraine just started which i always have on ovulation so i thought id test again and got a solid face :) so bd tonight then the 10 days wait will start.. do you think i should bd again in 2 days or would that go more towards a boys sway??

[maximbella]

fiveboys, I think one BD at positive opk (so tonight) and then again e4d for girl! :cheerteam:

Sorry I missed this with all the excitement lol.

I'm doing better, the spotting went away and we BD'd again with no problems.My cervix continues to bother me but I guess it is because it has alot more bloodflow now. I'll try and get in with a midwife asap to have a quick look.

The whole thing was very concerning though! Thank you for asking <3

That's a positive fox... congratulations!!!! :) man february has been a crazy fertile month lol

[kc15880]

I have checked in with my old due date group from last year & over half have had failed sways. Some only swayed for a month & others longer. I am totally prepared for a boy & something tells me this more & more lately. To be honest I just dont see a girl in my future :sad: I have swayed for so long now & I have given it a good shot so I have no regrets. We even applied for PGD which was a lengthy 12month delay & we were told no. I know deep down we have tried everything to get our DD I just dont think it is every going to happen.

[atomic sagebrush]

Ladies, going by due date group is really misleading. It's just too small a sample size. Use the year by year or better yet the overall results because that tells you what is really happening.

[momamia4]

:hugs: kc!!! I'm sorry you're feeling so down.

[XXforhubby]

(((Huge Hugs))), kc! I know how hard it is to sway for SO long and getting BFNs. It sucks! There seems to be a split with long term swayers getting DG and opposites. It's just so hard to predict. It makes me extremely nervous too- it took me 1yr!! Hang in there! I know it will happen for you, but it sounds like you need to decide if you want to continue TTCing or not. Just keep doing the best you can and give yourself a break! TTCing is rough!

I know - one group doesnt really tell you much at all. The other thing that made me a bit frustrated with the whole thing is when people dismiss the idea of swaying when they only swayed for a month, continued to eat chicken & god knows what else & then got their opposite. PGD is the only guarantee & as you already know we have already tried to go down that path. You do need to go into the whole swaying thing with eyes wide open & be prepared at the end to love the baby in your arms regardless of gender. We also dont know what else had affected their sway. Perhaps the daily exercise built a lot of muscle mass, or frequent coffee through out the day raised kept their blood sugar raised. We will never know as their are just too many variables to consider. All I know is that I have given it my best shot & just want to be pregnant again.

Awe I am sorry you are going through thus. I feel you. It can be really frustraing when others get pregnant right away with desired genders with or without swaying.
Can I ask why you were turned away from pgd?

PGD isnt allowed in australia unless there are medical reasons to do so. Our oldest DS has autism which is on the "allowed" list, however we were still refused by the ethics committee that govern it in our state as we only had 1 autistic child not 2. Ridiculous! We could have potentially applied in other states but that would have added to the costs & difficulties substantially & we just dont have time on our side to keep getting refused.

IVF with gender selection - technically not allowed in australia

Some cycles are better than others. Sometimes I get super bummed and kind of take a bit of a break. I'll put away my thermometer and opks and just wing it. After a few months, I always end up coming back to it. I think it's because a lot of people in mine and dh's families are having babies right now. It makes me want another one that much more. I can tell you that I've definitely done a lot of crying and yelling about still waiting for a baby but I still think of holding a baby in my arms and that brings me right back to ttc. So don't feel bad if you have to take a break from ttc or eat some chocolate if that's what it takes to get your head back in the game. Remember that we're here for you if/when you need support and we won't be upset if you need to take a break from the boards. (I've done that a few times too!) :bighug:

My Ovulation Chart (https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/momamia4)

[kc15880]

just ate way too much chocolate but I figure in the 2ww it isnt going to matter that much. Im just having a really bad day. Struggling big time with my 3yr olds behaviour & my eldest has been sick. Sometimes it just feels like I am on a never ending treadmill & I cant see the end in sight. I am sure I will feel better tomorrow. Thankyou ladies for being able to vent. It really means a lot.

[Shannshaff]

Hugs kc!! I understand the difficulties. I have been swaying for years now technically. I swayed one way or another for my last 2DSs. It is really tough. Hang in there and praying you get your BFP real soon!

Robin - just an FYI, since you did a trigger shot, OPKs won't work for you. They pick up the HCG from the trigger and will be positive. You might want to test out the trigger if you have some cheap tests that way you will know if the trigger is gone and you get your real BFP!!!

[fiveboys]

awwww kc this is a whirlwind of emotions,, im actually finding swaying more emotional than when i done ht, but even with ht we are still not guaranteed our desired gender, i was devastated when i couldn't find out the gender until transfer day, after all that money and hormones bouncing, but in a way looking at it now it was for the best as i probably wouldn't have this crazy bouncing boy sat on my lap :) i never thought that i would have 6 sons by 37 but i know until my dd comes along i will never feel complete :( keep positive and the great thing about this site is that we all have similar feelings on this journey so we are never alone...

well i was so thrilled about finally getting a solid smiley last night on my advanced clearblue but then an hour later i just done the normal clearblue digital that goes from negative to solid without the flashing and that was still negative,,,how can i have one solid positive and one negative?? i had a good read though and i see that the advance one tells you 4 days before where the normal digital is 2,,so hopefully im correct and i should have a solid smiley on the normal digital tomorrow,,aww confusing especially when to bd so i bd last night and i will again when i have a solid on the other opk to cover me,, my husband said he feels like a bloody rabbit with all this sex and releasing lol, is anyone thinking of doing the harmony test once we get our bfp? they are so expensive but it would be nice to know so early x

[kc15880]

I was very unsure about doing the harmony test last pregnancy before the miscarriage. Its $500 here so very expensive. Now after the miscarriage I am definitely doing it. I need the peace of mind that everything is ok.

[maximbella]

Good morning ladies! Took my 9dpo test this morning and looks like a stark white bfn. I had a faint positive by now with both girls, so thinking this is unfortunately unlikely. [emoji17]

I've given serious thought to saving to do PGD in the US, if I don't get a girl. 4 kids would be a lot for me to deal with, but I'll still be young enough to get a decent shot at PGD when my kids are in school. All in all though, I think it's just too much money, we should be saving for travel, college, and retirement.

[Lolabelle]

Congrats foxtrot!!! Definitely 2 lines there yayyyy!!! So exciting :)
Maxim-don't lose hope...still a chance...still early!
KC-Hope you're having a better day today! Hugs!
No news here...just waiting! I plan to do the materni t21 test whenever I get a BFP, must be similar to Harmony. There is insurance coverage since I'm considered "advanced maternal age." I don't feel old lol.
So my friend just had a baby girl on Monday!!! First baby...she didn't sway, but she said she DTD everyday in her fertile window. That must work in some cases then!

[XXforhubby]

Woohoo Fox! That's definitely a positive!

Yay!

Lolabelle- DTD every day in the fertile window only works if DH is young and has a very high sperm count. Otherwise, he will be shooting blanks and won't be able to get you pregnant. Only very few DH's can do this!

Fox, that is fantastic!!! Definitely a positive, so thrilled for you!!

Lola, with my first pregnancy, we weren't swaying, just trying to get pregnant. We dtd 3-4 times in the fertile window and still ended up with girls. I wonder if diet plays more of a part than the number of times? Meaning if your body is acidic, it won't matter how many times you bd since the Y sperm will be mostly killed off? I don't know if that's how it works?? ;)

Also, I just looked at the statistics from the boy sways (and pasted below). Am I reading it correctly that one attempt in fertile window also resulted in 70% success for boys?? Am I having a blonde moment and misinterpreting?

NO. OF ATTEMPTS
1
- Total sways 20
- Total success 14
- Success % 70% success
2

Wait until tomorrow :) I know it is difficult. One temp doesn't mean anything, you have to wait to have a few to derive a conclusion. If you drop below 98F tomorrow then I could possibly be inclined to think BFN, but even then it could just go back up the next day. Be sure to take temp at the same exact time under the same circumstances for the best accuracy :)

[foxtrotmama]

At some angles I think I see something on your FR, Maxim
Test again with FMU tomorrow?

My DH didn't see the line, lol. I had to draw lines to point it out. You would think he would be better at this by now, lol.

[maximbella]

Alright ladies, thanks for your wisdom! I'll wait it out.... I swear this is pretty close to how I look right now LOL :hair:

Fox - that is a beautiful line, how did DH not see that!!

[foxtrotmama]

Shann I used to do the same thing! When we were TTC DS2 I kept them in DHs car so that I couldn't go crazy and take a dozen a day. I'm feeling a lot more chill this time so maybe that's a good sign for my sway?

I last DTD on CD17, and I would really like to get pregnant this cycle to avoid a December baby. I expect multiple positive OPKs this cycle as I had 4 days true positive last cycle. Should I DTD again today (putting me at E3D), or wait until tomorrow?

It doesn't look positive just yet, but any minute. I'd say start testing multiple times per day at this point. I'm not sure about BD though.

in my experience, they are more sensitive than frers, but the line is so incredibly faint it will drive you nuts lol. Maybe if t he strips were larger it wouldn't be so difficult to see.

Erin, to me that looks like very close to positive, but not quite yet. Like cosmo said, I would try multiple times a day, it might be positive tonight. If you are swaying girl, I would wait until you get that positive before BD.

Maxim I think I see a very very faint line too!!! Cant wait for your next tests!!! Eeeeek so exciting!!

Robin do you have cheapie hpts? I know ladies have tested daily to watch the trigger shot fade out then if it darkens again you know its a bfp. Might be worth doing?

Shannshaff I'm sorry :( how many dpo now?

I would judge you more if you didn't read into it [emoji6]lol. That's just all we can do in this tww!! Can't wait till you can start poas!

I say every cycle I'm going to wait until 10dpo and end up testing 7dpo mostly and occasionally hold out till 8dpo 😂😂 they are always bfns that early lol, I have gotten my first faint lines at 9dpo last three pregnancies so hopefully common sense will prevail and I'll hold out 😣 really would love to make it to 10dpo before testing..........

[Roedinga1]

I hear ya girl! I was strong somehow this time and held out to 10dpo. I think I sort of made a promise with myself and I'm mildly hard headed [emoji6], anyway, I still got a BFN at 10dpo, questionable squinter at 11dpo (I did not believe it) and a decent yet faint positive at 12DPO with evening urine!

I've organised a friend to come over (the one that had my boys for a couple hours so we could have our attempt) as it should keep me from testing lol. I told her I'd get a digi plus I have an frer. I'll collect some fmu and when she comes over I'll do the tests and cover with a piece of paper. That way she can check the digi first and if its bfn then I still have a chance of a faint line on the frer - I say she as I'm not sure I can bring myself to look first.... I don't know what's wrong with me this cycle!! I'm so nervous and dreading looking and not seeing a bfp :(

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

[maximbella]

Burakoam, I have 2 packages, so 6 total FRER's. Should I test with both FRER and cheapie tonight? I have 1.5 hours more of holding and already dying...

PBN, chart is looking great!!

[Pbn3]

Maxim if I had 6 frers I'd definately poas asap 😂😂

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

[cosmosis]

I wouldn't waste the frer right now, you'll need them if the cheapies get darker tomorrow. Then again, you won't be getting the weeks estimator so... I dunno lol.

[cosmosis]

Maxim i just looked at the Easy@home pregnancy tests and its for the day before your expected period so i dont think those are very sensitive at all...how many Frer's do you have?

easy@home is wondfo and they both claim that it is for the day before AF is due, but reports online claim otherwise. I got a clear (but faint) BFP on the easy@home before the frer showed anything convincing. I couldn't get it on camera for you guys until 10dpo though, and even then it was a bit tough.

This was all 7 to 11 days before AF.

[Pbn3]

So I just rung my chemist to organise a pack of prenantals and hpt for hubby to pick up while he's in town. I asked for the 2pk clearblue digital with conception indicator and they said no worries (I could hear him typing and checking stock) I will be super excited if he comes home and they are the right ones 😀😀 I'll be sure to let you ladies know in case any Australian ladies are chasing them :)

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

[Pbn3]

Maxim how much longer till you test, I'm sitting on the edge of my seat 😆 actually I should ask first whether you decided to test again or not lol

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

[Shannshaff]

For those that asked, I am only 9dpo and am not really bothered by the BFN at this time. I am just happy that it looks like my LP is getting back to normal. Here is a link to my chart.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/Shannshaff

[Pbn3]

Shannshaff 9dpo is still really early, and happy your lp is normalizing :)

Just some info for those of us that test early, if 'average' implantation takes place between 6-10dpo you need at least 48-72 hours to produce enough hcg to show up on a sensitive hpt. Please bear that in mind when testing between 7-10dpo especially when not using sensitive tests like frer. You all probably know this anyway but thought I'd mention it just in case :)

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

[Shannshaff]

SO I am crazy and tested again. Here are all 3 tests together. Is there a line on the middle one or am I nuts?

Ok just tested....and I ended up doing both FRER and cheapie (why the hell not...lol!). Nada...literally stark white. I know this is early but for sure thought I would see something (even if faint) if it was positive this month. I'll test again tomorrow am. And I'm sure end up wasting more money on FRER's by the end of this week. [emoji38]

The TWW is totally all consuming. I remember once with DS1 forgetting to get off my bus heading home from work because I was so deep into trying to figure out if I would have a long enough hold to test when I got home.

[srg09cag11]

Hey, ladies, long-time lurker here...
We moderately tried last month, but no luck. I got Clearblue (non-flashing) OPKs this month and started using them on Sunday at CD 9. Open O Sunday, open O Monday, open O Tuesday, open O to-WAIT. Smiley?! I don't think I've ever gotten the smiley face so early in my cycle before (CD 12?!). The lines on the stick don't look quite the same darkness, but hubby and I BD'd right away. I'm swaying blue.

Sorry Pbn! :hugs: This happens to me sometimes too. I'm glad you'll have some support there with you though. That's awesome!! This cycle I won't be able to test early as I'll have both the trigger and a hcg booster at 7dpo. That combo totally throws early testing right out the window!! My RE doesn't have me come back for beta testing until 14 days past iui. That seems like forever!!!! [emoji30] [emoji30] [emoji30] [emoji33] [emoji33] [emoji33]

Thanks for asking! I'm in the throes of morning sickness. It's worse this time, since I had possibly a vanishing twin. It was measuring 16 days behind my other bean that had a heartbeat. They weren't lying about the extra hormones making morning sickness worse! I'll know for sure about the other sac (only a fetal pole was seen) at my next scan at 12w6d. I'm 9w4d now.

Good luck and fx!! Keep us updated!

Foxtrotmama I lol'd at not getting off the bus 😂😂 totally something I'd do!!!

Thanks momamia and maxim!! I asked her the other day if she'd do it lol. She's the only one IRL who knows I'm still trying....... sometimes I feel I almost don't want to test but when 7dpo rolls around its always a different story 😂

Sorry to hear ms is giving you such a hard time xxforhubby :( and hope it starts reducing really soon. Wow 9w4d!!!! Gosh that's flown!! Cant believe they're making you wait until your 12w scan, are you tempted to schedule an u/s privately?

Sorry to hear the MS is throwing you around a bit.
With my last pregnacy I had some bleeding at 5.5 weeks and assumed it would turn into a miscarriage. Had a scan at 7 weeks and found 1 strong heartbeat and another just sac. Was totally gone by the 12 week scan. Surprisingly common from what I hear.

I see a discrepancy in colors there. A shadow. I think you may have implanted in the last 2-3 days, so if it sticks you'll see it get darker in the next couple of days.

I told Roe this also, but the problem with testing early is that you will see chemicals come and go. I believe that most women who see shadow lines and throw them out saying it is an evap (unless it is an actual oddly colored and obvious evap), to later get AF actually had chemicals. I have done a fair share of experimentation and I'm pretty confident in that conclusion.

Anyway, in order to avoid totally geeking out, I'll stop there. Try an evening test today and keep this and yesterday's stick. Label them of course.

[Georgia_Peach]

Cosmo I read somewhere that it takes 2 days after implantation to get a positive pregnancy test. It looks like yours dipped yesterday! Maybe tomorrow you'll know.

I am super bummed right now. DH couldn't "cough cough" preform last night due to back problems and just overall stress/pressure of this whole thing. Last night was THE night my RE said to DTD. We had dtd the night before (night if trigger) but dr made it clear I was to DTD night if trigger, next night and night after that (tonught). Ovulation can happen 36 hrs after trigger so last night would have been perfect.

I feel like I am totally out of the game. We have only dtd cd 12 and cd14. Temp spike today a bit but not enough for confirmation of ovulation.

Robin - is there a chance you can sneak in a lunch dtd? I remember when we were trying for #1 and my husband got really weirded out by formally trying. Instead of having nighttime sex, I would ask him to meet me for lunch at home or something like that to change it up. And it made it fun! These days I'm too tired for that, but it was good when I was younger lol....

Robin I've had the same thing happen with dh and its so frustrating!!! It's hard to understand as its not like its a hard job for them but there must be something to feeling pressured as its quite common. Maybe you could initiate things asap and try get your attempt in. Maybe don't discuss attempts, triggers etc with him to take some of the 'stress' off him... yes that was said tongue in cheek 😉 good luck in any case and let us know how you go.

Srg do you have any cheapies to test with for comparison. I would keep doing e2d (eod) as they don't look positive at all. Not sure why it gave you a smiley yesterday?

I've never used digi opks, but I know that with digital HPTs the lines if you open it up don't really mean anything discernable. Maybe it's the same with the OPK?

I have my second ultrasound and blood work tomorrow morning. I'm so excited!!! I'm hoping that I'll have 3 nice, big follies!!! The naysayer part of my brain keeps telling me that I probably won't have any follicles that are mature. 😕 I normally ovulate on cd12-14 and tomorrow I'll be cd10. I'm assuming my RE is also hoping for mature follicles tomorrow. I'm not feeling as bloated as I thought I would which kind of worries me. I've spent too much time with Dr Google the last few days. Lol! I'm starting to psych myself out.

Thanks ladies!! I'm hoping it's good news. It would be perfect if I could trigger tomorrow night so we could do the iui on Sunday morning. I'm thinking we'll probably end up doing the iui on Tuesday as that would be the most inconvenient. Typically the most inconvenient thing is what ends up happening to me, lol! DH doesn't really care what day we do the iui but I don't really want to have to go back to work after it. If it's on Tuesday I'd have to go back to work but I don't work on Sunday. I wish there was a way that I could see into the future, lol!!! 😂😂😂

[maximbella]

Good morning everyone! Took my morning test and it looks like another BFN. I'm not entirely surprised, but I am sad and disappointed. My temp went down a tiny also, and in my gut I know that AF is on the way in the next day or two. We have a babysitter tonight so that DH and I can go out to dinner...I plan on talking to him about trying for one more month, although that would mean December baby (which is fine), but we live in a cold climate and thinking about snow days, being stuck inside, etc. during the cold kind of scares me. I'm also starting to worry more about the age gap the longer this gets pushed out (as is, the girls would be 6 and 8 when a baby is born, and there's no shot of trying for a 4th). Part of me is wondering if this is just a sign that it wasn't meant to be....I got pregnant with both DD's without barely trying! Anyway, here's my sap story for the day. Wishing everyone else better luck today!

[Burakoam]

you should know maxim you cant just test and not let the POAS addicts look at it...i demand photo proof! You cant always go with temp drops unless it dropped you below cover line..did you look at Cosmo's early chart? she had peaks and drops for days! but stayed within where she needed to :) You are still well within your lines to be in the game still. Also remember that I give or take a day from you so you may only be 10 DPO and not 11...let me see that damn test!

[Lolabelle]

I'm sorry maxim! Hoping that maybe it's still just early for you!
My brother & I are 7 years apart! I was such a 2nd momma to him & drove him around everywhere. Now we're buddies and sometimes he even acts like the older child being protective of me! Your girls would be such momma bears & would have their own real-life dollbaby. I wouldn't let the age gap hold you back, but def understand you wondering if another is in the cards for you. Enjoy your dinner date!!!

I really wouldnt worry about age gap either..my oldest is 21 and youngest nearly 1 then the rest are in the middle.. it honestly doesnt matter..hopefully your still in for this month though x

Maxim those do look negative :( the dip today however can still be implantation. You may only be 10 DPO and its still common to implant at 10 DPO..even 11 DPO..its 12 and 13 where things get dicey.

Here..plug in both the 20th and the 21st :)

Not to me they don't. I see what could be a line on the frer and I also see a forming line on the wondfo. I'd like you to put a positive opk next to the wondfo with tomorrow's photo ALONG WITH today's test. So that will be 3 tests together right next to each other.

Not trying to make you see something that isn't there, but I see it. Let's see if it gets darker :)

[cosmosis]

Also, fwiw, I saw a line at 3 days post implantation that nobody else could see. the frer showed negative within the window. It wasn't until the 4th day after implantation that my wondfo had a proper shadow, but not even a line really and I was only able to show everyone here by spending all day trying to take a good photo.

Maxim, the first pic is day after implantation, 2 days and 3 days. The second pic is 4 days after implantation.

So, if your egg implanted 3, 2 or 1 day ago, you won't see anything really unless you wanna drive yourself nuts doing so. At 4 days past implantation, a line will begin to form more clearly. Enjoy your manicure :) Let's see what the next few days bring. I know its hard, hang in there :)

[foxtrotmama]

I think I have line eye because I swear I see what cosmo is seeing. :)

Good luck working things out with DH though! I don't think that this cycle not working out would be a sign that you aren't meant to have another baby. It just means that when you get really stressed about TTC you screw up your cycle.

[momamia4]

Maxim, hold out hope! You're still really early in your 2ww! The next few days will show a lot. Also, my youngest son will be at least 11 years older than the DC I'm trying to get pregnant with. So, I wouldn't worry about the age gap. I'm 10 years younger than my oldest sister and 10 years older than my youngest brother. I'm also closest to my youngest brother, so the age gap really doesn't make a difference for siblings. :)

I am pretty upset about my appointment. I have 1 fucking egg. Sorry for the language but I'm pissed. It's mature (18mm). I didn't spend $2000 to get the same number of eggs that I already make every damn month on my own!!! ARGH!!!!! Of course my body is going to be a jackass and not respond to the meds properly. Now I have to decide if I still want to do the iui or just do timed intercourse. Should I even waste the trigger shot (they're $100 each and I'm supposed to do 2 - 1 now and another in a week)? And of course it's on my right ovary and I'm fairly confident my right tube is blocked with scar tissue. I am totally devastated and feel betrayed by my body. I'm hoping next cycle my RE will double my meds as I was supposed to get 2-3 eggs in a fsh cycle.

Fox, thank you! I agree deep down and know that feeling this sad about it should also be a sign that we shouldn't stop. If he's onboard, I am promising myself a calm month, which is how I was with my girls. I honestly might stop opk and just do e4d to take off the stress, unless that's a bad idea?

Ok, I thought I was going crazy, because I saw a line too. And I really do on the invert. The crying in a meeting is also a great sign if that is not your usual. Max, I think you might still be in this. FXd for you.

AFM - I am not sure about this. The line seems a bit darker, but I have started spotting. The only time I have spotted this early ended in a mc. So I am not too hopeful atm.

Pic was taken at the 8 min mark. I am 11dpo now. Temps are still up. I have no idea when AF is late, my LP last cycle was 7 days. Before that I had 18 months w/o af. :D

[momamia4]

Shann, can you go get betas and progesterone tested? That should help you have a better idea of what's going on. I can't remember if you are seeing a doctor or not for fertility?

My Ovulation Chart (https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/momamia4)

[Shannshaff]

I am not seeing a DR at all for fertility. I have never done betas before. I will just wait it out. What will be will be. I do wish I had my beta numbers for last pregnancy though. That would have been fun. But I do know that they were not way out there like you would expect because my Dr was totally shocked(and so were we) that we had multiples at our 8w scan!

[maximbella]

Moma, I'm sorry I missed your earlier message. If you've gone this far and have the $ to do it, I would still probably do the trigger. How many will you need?

Shan, I'm not familiar what that brand and how much darker it should be, but it still looks like a nice pink line to me!!

I know what you mean! I would still do trigger yes! I'd be upset at the fact that you only had one egg too. That's alot of money for the same affect. Are you going to do the iui?
How many iui cycles will you do before ivf? I only ask bc we are in a simular situation.


We're 99% sure we're out this cycle bc we only dtd twice before ovulation due to hubbies back pain. I am now deciding if I want to just skip it all and go straight to ivf. I just can't keep going through the process and struggles. Most people have no idea how much time and energy it takes to go to these clinics daily and then to take these crazy meds that costs a Fortune and have serious side effects! Only to what .. not get pregnant each month. Like it's exhausting.
We have been diagnosed as "unexplained subinfertility" at this point.. meaning it's not quiet as bad as infertility bc it hasnt been a year of trying. This gives little to no comfort since there are no reasons for us not getting pregnant.

Momma - I missed your update. I am so sorry to hear that you only got one egg. :( I would still do the trigger. You have gone this far and it might just be what your body needs. HUGS

Robin - how many months have you been TTC? Didn't you just have a mc a few months ago? or am I mistaken? I have no known fertility issues and it has still take us 3-8 months to conceive. So you are definitely not out yet. Hang in there! I know it can be really rough. I thought it was never going to happen with DS3. It took 8 months.

Maxim, I use 2 trigger shots per cycle, so it's about $200 just for the trigger shots.

Robin, I'm not sure if we will ever do ivf. My insurance covers $2000 for iui, so at this clinic that's like 6 1/2 iuis. I'll pay the other half for the 7th one out of pocket if I need to. I'm hoping to get pregnant before we have to consider doing ivf. I've read that if you aren't pregnant after the 3rd iui, then it isn't going to happen. Since my insurance covers them, I'm going to get all 7 of them, lol! I just hope I have enough gonal-f to get me through 7 cycles! Although, my RE said he wants to try back to back iuis next cycle. So, then I'd only get 3 more cycles of iuis after this cycle.

Thanks for the support Shann!

I'm going to go ahead with the trigger and iui this cycle. I'll have to skip the next two cycles because we aren't allowed to travel for the cycle of or the cycle after an attempt cycle, and we have to go to my nephews' graduation in May. So, I won't be able to try again until June!! That's so far away!!! Hopefully my one little egg is goldie the golden egg and I'll get a bfp this cycle! :)

[Pbn3]

Maxim I don't see anything :( but cosmo definitely has a great eye so fx so hard for you!!

Momamia I'm so sorry your appt didn't go well however I agree with the others about the trigger. You don't know for sure you right tube is blocked and you have come so far and are so close that I think you should go full steam ahead. There's no regrets if you try your best. Hugs moma and let us know what you decide.

Shannshaff I truly hope the spotting goes away. You have been through so much and I'm sending you truckloads of sticky dust. Stick baby stick!!!

[momamia4]

So, I get to kind of decide when I take the trigger shot. I know that iuis typically sway boy, as you're injecting the sperm in the uterus so it doesn't have as far to travel. They said I can trigger at any time tonight or tomorrow morning. They said that you usually ovulate about 40 hours after a trigger shot. My iui is scheduled for Sunday at 11:45am. So, what time do you think I should trigger? Should I try to get the iui timing a little earlier than 36 hours (the ideal timing for iui for pregnancy), like maybe trigger 30 hours before iui, or should I trigger 36 hours before the iui to increase odds of conception? I'm hoping that my girl friendly lifestyle will help sway girl despite the sperm being closer to the egg. What do you guys think?

That's very true!!! I also feel like I'd rather have a baby than nothing at all, so that helps me feel better about triggering 36 hours before iui. I appreciate your input Pbn!! :)

Lola when are you going to start testing? It's 6pm here on 6dpo and I've got 4 more sleeps till I test. I'm determined to be as strong as Roe was and hold out till 10dpo. I think I actually might get there for the first time ever as I'll be so upset if I test earlier and 'fail' this wait test 😂 maybe my poas addiction can be curbed somewhat by others testing 😂. Speaking of which:

I would keep testing with Wondfos over the next two days. You may have only implanted three days ago, and it can take a few days for HCG to register on a HPT. Trust me. I was equally frustrated with my DS2! I couldn't get a positive on any test until 21dpo! He implanted late and was a slow to produce ample HCG. He is very healthy now [emoji6]!

[Erin514]

Momamia, if you know for sure it's the right ovary and that one's blocked, I think I'd just have a normal attempt and save the money for next cycle when hopefully you'll have more eggs. Your call, though. I'm very cheap, lol.

Maxim, personally I think that looks a lot like the indent line I got on FRER for like five days straight last cycle (it never darkened, then AF came). My faith in FRER has been shaken! But if your temps are high it could be the real deal so keep trying and see if your line changes. To respond to your earlier post, if your DH is on board for trying longer, I would definitely skip temping and OPKs altogether and just BD E4D. You were so stressed about o last month and it seems like it only messed to your cycle. Skip all that stress!

Shann, are you still spotting? If it's just a little bit and goes away, try not to worry (I know, easier said than done). Lots of women have light spotting and perfectly healthy babies, especially when it's very early.

I'd like you to post yesterday's wondfo, today's wondfo and if you have an OPK laying around with 2 lines include it. Line them up and take a photo of all 3 together like I did for mine (posted them yesterday). Your wondfo isn't blank.

ETA: Your frer didn't have an "indent" yesterday. I don't think its an indent. prefer to be optimistic to be honest. Whether you get AF or not doesn't mean there was never hCG in your system to begin with ;)

[Burakoam]

I seriously hate wondfo's...i get the appeal, really i do..they are cheap and you can just test endlessly because of it..but damn their lines suck. I dont think thats an indent on your FRER either max.

Max i encourage you to keep those tests and look at them later. In my opinion the wondfo's dont get decent lines of any kind (even really light lines) until they have sat 10-15 minutes

[maximbella]

Really?? I swear I don't see anything on the cheapies, they look stark white to me. And with the FRER, I see it but it's sooo light, and I think I dipped it more than 5 seconds, so thought it would be an indent. I stared at it for literally 30 mins and I see it and then dont...never realized how confusing these tests can be! I am out most of the day today with my girls but will post tonight when I'm home. Should I take another FRER as well? Thank you guys for all of your constant help!!

Sorry, meant to ask what you're seeing on cheapies that I'm not? I swear I don't see anything? [emoji17]

I think I see it too maxim on the FRER!
Pbn-I haven't decided yet. I'm trying to wait until 10dpo as well, since I usually have gotten my 1st BFP at 11dpo. I don't think I looked closely at my HPTs in the past. So this time, I'm going to stare at it & analyze it at 10dpo. I'm still reading into every little sign. Things taste a little funky with a bad aftertaste, frequent urination & slightly nauseous, but maybe it's all in my head or maybe it has to do with this lingering 2 week cold-ugh. Can't wait to see when you start testing! Can't wait to see everyone else's too! FX for BFPs!!!!!!!

Ive always used the clearblue advanced tests that tells you how many weeks you are..on my last 2 it always showed as 1-2 weeks on day 10 after o.. ive just bought one ready..they are more expensive but its better to do just one test and not keep squinting looking if theres a line for hours..might be worth getting one hun x

[maximbella]

Fiveboys, where did you find one? I think they were pulled from the market...burakoam messaged them about it also!

Following this thread with interest! We had our first attempt on the 28th Feb (pink sway, 16 weeks on LE; although +opk's suggest O was the 27th!) we attempted anyway (27th was not possible!) today is 4dpo- when is the best time to check, 10 days? I'm not very hopeful but figure it can't hurt to check !

I love those clearblue tests, but I think as others mentioned, sadly they were pulled in the US. Would love to get my hands on one!!

[Lolabelle]

Hi Artisam! I've always gotten my 1st BFP at 11dpo, but others have gotten it earlier...so I'm going to closely examine it at 10dpo this time.
Fx for you, ya never know!!

[Artisam]

Thanks- I can't remember with my son when I checked. It was first month of trying and I kept falling asleep and getting sensitive to smells! I think I waited the full 2 weeks

Smells & fatigue were some of my early signs too. Def don't think I could wait the full 2 weeks haha! It's fun to check early, but will drive you crazy hoping & wondering if possibly it's just too early & a false bfn...

[Artisam]

I'll wait as long as I can (that won't be very long haha!) I don't have any tests (yet!) so that will help for now [emoji23]

Frequent urination doesn't sound like a symptom from any cold I've had, Lola. ;-) Sounds very promising, I hope we get a nice batch of BFPs here soon and you're in it.

[Erin514]

I'd like you to post yesterday's wondfo, today's wondfo and if you have an OPK laying around with 2 lines include it. Line them up and take a photo of all 3 together like I did for mine (posted them yesterday). Your wondfo isn't blank.

ETA: Your frer didn't have an "indent" yesterday. I don't think its an indent. prefer to be optimistic to be honest. Whether you get AF or not doesn't mean there was never hCG in your system to begin with ;)

Yeah, maybe my "indent" was actually a chemical and I shouldn't be so skeptical. It's just that I got a clear pink line on FRER at only 7hcg post-miscarriage, so when I see a "shadow" on FRER I imagine it must be below that, and below 5 is considered not pregnant, right? I trust the wondfos more, actually.

Anyway, I do hope you get a BFP Maxim.

[Roedinga1]

Good morning! Fiveboys, kc, and pbn, good luck in testing soon!!

I think I finally am the recipient of the dreaded indent line (do you see it?). This is my frer this morning, with a blank white cheapie. Temps are still high. I wish AF would just come already if I'm not pregnant.

Ok Maxim, I totally see a line on the FRER in my computer. I didn't see it when I was on my phone.

FX it darkens over the next couple of days!

Shannshaff how are you? Did the spotting stop? Hope everythings ok and bean is snuggling in nicely!

Eeeeeeekkk maxim!!! I see that for sure!!! I agree with xxforhubby, use your wondfos to go nuts testing on and save your next frer for 48 hours after this one. Fx so tight!!!!! Oh and your chart is looking fabulous!

Lola the frequent urination is me too!!! As in I had no fluids after dinner because I'm sick of getting up at night, still peed at least 3 times before bed, then again at 11pm and then had to take my temp an hour earlier this morning as I was busting!! Fx it is a real symptom for us both but I've had what I thought were solid symptoms in the past on bfn cycles so I don't trust them 😂 sometimes I think I want it so bad that my body fulfills my wish by acting pregnant when its not 😂

Hi and welcome artisam! Did you have any attempts prior to the 27th? What day was your pos opk on?

Erin I'm with you. I had a few cycles last year when I would get what I referred to as the frer fake line as it wouldn't get darker and then after a couple/few days would be stark... it really threw me at the time and I really started disliking frers. But since then I haven't had any dramas so I'm back in love with them lol. Not sure if it was just a bad batch or chemicals?

Well, it is not good news from me. I didn't test again this morning. Last night the spotting went from pink to red and I was woken up at 3am with HORRIBLE cramps. I am still cramping today and the flow has gone from spotting to very light. And more cramping all day. My temp dropped as well. I definitely think this is a chemical. I am praying that AF starts up full real soon, or I will have to go to the Dr to see what is up. UGH. I showed DH the positive test today and then tried to explain the cramps and bleeding. Not sure if he fully understands and I could not say the words mc just yet. :(

[Shannshaff]

So, the good news is, you are not getting rid of me yet and I will have more time to solidify my sway.

[Pbn3]

Oh shannshaff I'm so sorry :( I would still test as what if you conceived twins and one hasn't made it but the other has? I think it would be worthwhile testing given your multiples history. Huge hugs xx

[Shannshaff]

I plan to test again tomorrow or Monday to see what is going on.

[momamia4]

So sorry Shann!!!! :bighug:

[Erin514]

Oh no! Shannshaff I'm so sorry. Let us know what happens.

[kc15880]

Wow - I go to bed & you all have 4 pages of conversations without me! 10dpo & no sign on AF yet - but there is a long day of waiting for me ahead!! Hugs Shann. I guess that is always the danger in testing too early & picking up a chemical. Give yourself a nice cheat day today & then start again tomorrow. Each month is such a disappointment. I am almost certain AF will show soon. If this month doesnt work I think we are going to have to drop the 1 attempt & go for E3d next time.
