PBN do you normally get days & days of cramping before AF? thats pretty unusual I would have thought. The last 2 times I had implantation cramping for 4-5days & it was pretty intense

[Pbn3]

Most times kc :) and my back was aching pretty bad last night. Feels like she's right on the doorstep. I am 100% positive af will be here by/on the weekend. I have even bought a bottle of wine I'm about to crack that's how sure I am.

[Lolabelle]

I'm right there with you pbn! I have cramps & it feels like AF will be here any minute! Guess we just try to enjoy the weekend & take each day at a time! My youngest DS turns 2 on Sat, then Sunday is the day my BIL & wife find out gender & we find out if they will "steal" our baby girl name...

[Pbn3]

Sure hope they don't have the same name lola :( What date'ish do you expect to o?

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

[Lolabelle]

I know...we've had the name forever...and after this BFN, that would just pour salt on the wound!! It looks I'm due to o around 3/22ish. My cycles have been approx 26 days. What about you Pbn?

[Pbn3]

Lola I just wrote a huge speil and lost it 😂😂 so to cut it short I expect to o around the 25th right smack bang in the middle of dh's night shifts..... I told dh we'll give our all (what we can) this cycle then I promised him to move on. Its the last chance cycle for a baby this year. I'm not going into yet another year due date wise. I'm 40 next year and I have nothing against ladies my age or older ttc it's just not for me especially when hubby is 7 years older. I've been making plans the last few days for this year and next, things I should've been doing the past two years but put off so I could focus on ttc. Well no more lol!!! Onwards and upwards regardless of which way next cycle goes :)

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

[Pbn3]

Aaaannnd may not even be trying. My apparent dh is a shit! Trying to get away from him for the night - so over it :( he got moody once I started talking about one more cycle and what we can try and do to improve our odds. Fact is he's stoked I'm oing on his night shifts because he gets sex with no repercussions atm I dislike him a whole lot

Robin, sorry I somehow overlooked your December post. Sorry if you guys already covered this. I had stayed off for a few days waiting for AF...

I agree with not skipping this month. It's already taking much longer than I ever thought to conceive #3. DD1&2 were first try, and this time around I'm getting a run for my money, so to speak. I did make an appointment with a new ob/gyn for Tuesday to get a second opinion. My last doctor didn't want to even hear anything from me until we had tried for a solid 6 months, which is just crazy to me. I'd like to just have labs done to make sure that everything looks normal. They can do that before 6 months of trying, right?

And I do agree that the LE diet sucks! I pretty much eat vegetarian and low calorie anyway, so that isn't huge for me, but not weight lifting like I normally do has messed with me.

We are pretty much in sync with our cycles. Hoping the wait isn't too much longer! Maybe you're destined to have an Xmas baby? A girl for Xmas :)

[fiveboys]

Awww day 10 and a bfn..only thing different is this morning i have creamy ewcm and im usually dry until next ovulation..i had a look on the internet and it says this happens in early pregnancy but surely the test would be positive if it was that wouldnt it?? Im starting to think that i didnt ovulate like the clearblue said on the 1st and it was the 5th as i had my usual ovulation ewcm..we did bd on that day so im hopeing its still too early to test but maybe im just kidding myself... arghhhhhhh... thanks ladies i needed to vent x

[Georgia_Peach]

Does anyone know what range level of hcg hormone has to be in your system for the clear blue digital to read 1-2 weeks?

I've been using wonfos since trigger shot for progression. It was dark at 1 day past trigger (1dpt) then went to almost nothing at 6 dpt now at 9dpo (10 dpt) it is bavk again to visible. I am NOT getting hopes up as positive pregnancy tests mean nothing to me anymore after the last few months of getting positives to actual mean nothing except my body had low levels of hcg in it.
Also it's probably the trigger still since it can stay in system until 14dpt.


I'm wondering if I should start testing with a better test?

Lola, I really hope they don't take your name!! I would probably move really far away if that happened to me! I'm crossing everything that they don't!!

Pbn, I'm sorry your DH is being such a shit! Men are jerks. I'm currently angry at mine as well.

fiveboys, FX it's just too early!!!

Robin, I think it needs a level of 25 to read 1-2 weeks. I can tell you that the hcg from the trigger tends to stay in my body for at least 11-12 days. However, last cycle the hcg was out of my system by 9dpt. I would wait until 14dpt to trust the test or continue testing with hpts and see if there is progression. I am going to wait since I just did a second trigger shot today. I'm thinking this cycle is a bust for me though since my temps are so low. FX for you Robin!!! :)

I go in for betas next Tues. 14 dpt.
I guess I just didn't want to wait until then to know for sure! 😂
I feel the same way.. like it's a bust this cycle. I am currently planning a trip to Disney for may to give me something to look forward to. I think we have decided to take a break until June if this month is unsuccessful. It's going to kill me to wait that long so I thought.. why not go on vacation!

[Burakoam]

Robin I got a positive 1-2 result with hcg level of 10 and I think XX also got a very early 1-2 result but idk if she knows what her hcg was around that time? She should pop in if she has an answer :)

[AshFind]

And Erin I read some of her stuff in the link I am doing some stuff totally wrong! Going to be a bit scary to only BD once I'm so scared I'll miss my chance. And for exercising I was an avid runner before this running usually 13miles on saturdays and 5 through the week so I've just completely stopped running and I can feel my muscles aren't what they were I did a 5k last Sunday and I'm still sore kinda sad I've lost so much muscle! I'm going to keep studying today and sent her a message about a package so we will see! I'm so excited to be here in this group with y'all there's no way I could do it on my own

It was probably 20-35 on that Wednesday morning because when I had my betas drawn that Friday it was 80.

Ashfind, I hear that people are very satisfied with the personal package, you'll probably find it answers all your questions.

Pbn, sorry your DH is being lame. I really hope you can find a way to dtd in your window and get a BFP this next cycle!

Afm, I'm 8dpo and could not resist poas this morning, which of course was stark white because I'm only 8dpo. Sigh. I'@@m starting to get really stressed about my last chance to have a baby before December. Anyone else around the same 2ww besides me and Robin??

Im 10dpo hun and also got a bfn this morning.. fx for us girls..next week we will all know either way i guess x

[Erin514]

Sorry, fiveboys, I must have missed your earlier post. This thread fills up so fast it's hard to keep track! Will you test again tomorrow?

[Lolabelle]

Haha Ash-like you're advice to pbn...just jump on him...
Pbn-Sorry he's being a jerk...men sometimes ugh! I understand the age factor, I'll be 39 in September. I don't feel old, but it does worry me a little ttc.
Moma-Luckily, BIL & wife live about 10 hours away, so maybe not that big of a deal, BUT we have the same last name! Happy for them w/their 1st baby, but def fx that it's a boy lol!!!
Fiveboys-So it sounds like you're not out just yet, keeping fx!!!!
Erin & Robin-fx for you & anyone else still in the 2WW...C'mon BFPs!
Sooo, AF was expected today & she's not here yet hmm. I'm not getting my hopes up though since I've had BFNs, but maybe just one little tiny glimmer of hope. I'm not on the typical 28 day cycle...mostly 26 days...so we'll see what happens by Sunday. Don't want to waste a test when sadly I feel like AF is imminent!
Robin-Good idea planning a Disney trip to help distract!! Hope you're preggers on the trip though :)

[fiveboys]

Sorry, fiveboys, I must have missed your earlier post. This thread fills up so fast it's hard to keep track! Will you test again tomorrow?

I think i will wait until sunday.. im finding the bfn are making me a proper moody cow lol and ive eaten my body weight in chocolate 😣 im thinking next cycle im not going to bother with clomid so at least i know when im ovulating..when will you test hun x

[AshFind]

Erin I haven't ovulated yet hopefully Sunday if I'm on a normal 28 this month but less than two week s I'll be testing and I'm so nervous lol! Ovia says 16day till testing but that's when af is due so how early dpo have ppl been getting bfp?
So who is left this month? Erin, robin, fiveboys? And hopeful for the ones who haven't had af yet!

[momamia4]

Ash, I'm still in this month. I'm 5dpo today. Although I'm not feeling hopeful at all. I typically get a really weird 6th sense about being pregnant an definitely am very confident by 6dpo if I am pregnant. I'm not having that at all this cycle. I had really high hopes coming into it but I'm just not feeling it. I'm mostly just sick of all the extra hormones and their side effects. I'm going to attempt next cycle and then I'm really looking forward to taking a few cycles off!! We're going on a trip to Arizona in May. That will also help to distract me.

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

[foxtrotmama]

Ash, if you want a decent chance at an accurate positive I think it's best to wait until 10dpo. There's still a chance of false negatives, but less than those of us who start testing at 8 or 9 dpo. I was trying to hold out until 12 most cycles, but I'm terrible at it.

[AshFind]

Mommamia I'm hopeful for you! Every pregnancy is different right. I got pregnant by surprise with my third and I remember setting in church thinking man my boobs are tight in this dress! Went home and tested positive the day af was to arrive. Crazy how we just "know".

[Georgia_Peach]

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170310/9462fcdce8caa55a07f24bd340ed8c81.jpg

So here's my line progression with my first cycle with trigger shot.
Top is 1 day after the trigger shot. Middle ones are 6 and 7 dpt .. they seem to be negitive... but then 9 and 10 seem more positive?
The last one was taken today (9dpo/10 dpt) in afternoon! Not fmu. That looks darkest closer to 5dpt.

I'm confused to say the least ... but I'm going to keep testing.

Yes!!! Last year I did a trigger shot and tested it out. It never came back. Starting at about 10dpt I got Bfn's and they never went back to bfp. I also read a lot of other blogs and other women's posts about testing out trigger shots. Once you get a Bfn, they do not go back to bfp.

it will prob be positive bc if trigger wouldn't it?

Robin, why would the positive from the trigger disappear for 2 days and then return? I think that's your body producing the HCG now. Pee on the frer girl!

I think I am hesitating bc in my mind I think "what if I just drank more water that day" hence the negitive..

I totally get it. Protecting your emotions. I'd say the likelihood of you drinking more water 2 days in a row to make the test negative is low. That's my opinion. Time will tell either way! I'm hopeful! ☺

[XXforhubby]

Robin- Fine. Wait to test for a couple more days, but I seriously think it's for real. For shits and giggles take the FRER and then go in for Betas. That will confirm, because if you are truly pregnant they will double appropriately.

I agree, you should just go get betas for peace of mind because no matter how many faint BFPs you get in the next few days you'll always be doubting it until you have numbers. (But I do think this it's probably a real positive!)

[momamia4]

Robin, I think it's real. Personally, I'd wait until 14dpt. I know that my RE won't do it betas for me until then. They want to make sure that the trigger is completely out of your system before they'll let you go in. I'd keep testing with the hpts. You could try a frer but I'd think the same as you, what if it's from the trigger??

Hey, all! I just pop in every now and then and read the PAGES y'all have written!

I'm in the 2WW. I don't really know when I ovulated; I had one "positive" on a Clearblue smiley, but the line was really light and it was really early in my cycle. I don't do temps. We've just been doing BD every 2-3 days, so hoping for blue!

I'm exhausted, but I think it's too early to be a pregnancy symptom, so it's probably just work this week. Lol I usually get a feeling that tells me to test for pregnancy, and I haven't had it yet. :)

I'll do the chant lol frer, frer, frer !

I would think they have parameters and ranges for what HCG should/could be so many days after trigger.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[momamia4]

They can make an estimate of how much of the trigger may still be in your system. If your levels are higher than that, they'll know. They'll also have you come back to see if they're rising or not. I don't think they'll tell you anything definitive today. I know mine wouldn't but they tend to be super pessimistic also. :/ I'm hoping that your office is more positive :)

Robin, I really think the 11dpo test is darker. Plus, in my experience Wondfo lines get WAY more visible after they dry completely, and your 11 test is still wet in the photo. I bet if you took the photo again now the progression would look even clearer. I really think you're pregnant. Congrats!

Afm, I poas again and it's still negative (9dpo), but I started having cramps yesterday that feel more like implantation or pregnancy than pre-AF. Maybe I'm imagining things but when I upload today's test and use the inverter tool on countdown to pregnancy I kind of almost see a shadow? Lol, I'm grasping at straws.

Hi, I managed to wait until 11dpo- Af is due in 3 days so I tested with fmu- bfn! This is only the first month TTC #2 (we had DS first attempt) and I already feel miserable!

Can I ask how many months others have been TTC for?

Artisam, post a photo even if it doesn't photograph well. We love squinting at tests!

Although no, you aren't supposed to read them after 9 hours. Not that this has stopped any woman in the 2ww ever.

[acaason27]

I think I posted way earlier in this thread. I have been following along, not thinking much of it for us due to the timing of when we dtd, so I have not posted. My period should start end of next week and this past Thursday I had spotting. I woke up at 5am because of my youngest and had red spotting only when I wiped. As the day went on it went to more of a pink/orange color, sticky consistanty and then watery later in the day, by bed time it was gone. Next day I had light pink spotting, not much, very middle of the day and that is it. I had implantation spotting with all 4 of my pregnancies, my first 3 I cannont remember the timing of it, but with my 4th I know it was a week before my expected period. I remember thinking hmm this is odd, I am not due for a week (4th was our BIG surprise pregnancy). I have totally convinced myself that I am not pregnant, despite the spotting. Last night DH made a comment that my boobs seems slightly bigger too. Tested today and BFN but I know it is still really really early. Yes, I do want a 5th really bad. DH leading up to this said he did not, but I know he is fine with it and deep down really wants a girl. BUT I was only on the LE diet since middle of Jan. I have lost 10lb since Jan 1 strictly from reducing my calories and I have not snacked or had breakfast since then either. I just worry not being on it the full 12 weeks I ruined a chance of a girl, I feel like boy 5 is what will happen. I also know if it is a boy he will quickly capture my heart, but 5 kids is our absolute limit.

I feel like I see faint pink on right one! I have 4 boys also and this will be our absolute limit! I haven't been STRICT with the diet I feel like I do my best and if god wants me to have a girl then I will otherwise I'll be excited to have a boy. It is disheartening and I feel like I can only express that here with all you ladies everyone else would think I was just selfish. I'm waiting to ovulate and even though I got a flashy smiley yesterday I feel like I was much more fertile than today! I'm just dried up on the cm part of it lol and I don't feel "frisky"

My diet was not strict in terms of counting my calories or proteins/fats etc. I just know I lost weight with zero exercise and I did cut out all snacks and breakfast. I know there are a few things in my life different than with my last that may sway more pink, but after 4 boys it is so hard to imagine haha But yes totally know I will love another boy and also agree I can only really express myself here. Guess I will test again next week and we will see what happens!

Good morning ladies.
Here's today's update. I took wondfo and I didn't think it looked much darker... so then I took frer.
Have a look. I am 10 dpo 11 dpt.
I am going in for blood work in a few hrs. Thankfully they got me in.

Also hubby found a clear blue weeks indicator 🤔https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170311/361af38701be513a443603cbbe608bd4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170311/f954b93557c09b2635c7a4e8d59dd8e9.jpg

This is our 23rd cycle ttc. Yes, you read that correctly and it is not a typo. We've been trying for 2 years. During that time I've had 2 miscarriages and every test imaginable just to find out that we're perfectly healthy and there's no reason for our "unexplained infertility." We're going to use up these fertility meds that I bought and then be done ttc. I'm 34 now and am prepared to move on with my life if I just don't get pregnant again.

FX for everyone!

Robin, seems like a bfp to me!!!! 😁😁😁🎉🎉🎉🎉

Not sure if the pic worked but I have a Q!
Ok so when you take regular non digital opk and you waiting for your positive and the lines slowly get darker.. is this what I'm looking at ok my digital opk once I pull the sticks out?
And dh is due to arrive this afternoon and has expressed how he can't wait to BD :omg: so I do not think he will wait until I get a static smiley which should come tomorrow so should we just BD today and not tomorrow if I get a static? Or BD today and tomorrow? So confusing this is

[Artisam]

Momamia- 23rd cycle is tough going, I really hope you get a bfp after such a difficult time.

I don't know how long we will try for, I don't think I could cope with what you've been through.

Erin- thanks, I think evap. I have felt 'weird' for about a week but think I'm imagining it so I will test again Monday if no AF. Not hopeful!

Fx af stays away for all ladies here x

[momamia4]

Ashfind, how many days of smilies have you had? Also I forget if you're swaying boy or girl. What cycle day are you you one and what cd do you normally ovulate?

Thanks artisam! I hope I get a bfp too, lol! I really am not feeling it this cycle though. I've been charting long enough to know this is not a bfp cycle. I'm hoping that increasing the meds next cycle will produce more eggs = more targets = bfp! :)

Just finished a whirlwind superhero 2nd birthday party for my DS & see that there's a lot to catch up on! The party was a nice distraction though.

Robin-looking good, fx that it's the real deal!!! Sounds really promising!!!
Erin-I see something! Eek, can't wait to see more!
Artisam-It doesn't seem that this current month worked for me...so I'll be starting my 3rd month ttc...never worried about this with my other two. I understand...the waiting game is frustrating.

So, AF is still not here & I'm not feeling the AF cramps anymore. I sooo want to test again, but only have 1 more & don't want to waste it. AF was due Friday, but still don't have my hopes up. Probably just late. If not here by Sunday though...I'll test again...

[AshFind]

Lola you have so much patience!! I've been peeing on sticks non stop trying to get a static smiley on just my opk it'll be insane when I'm finally in my 2ww.
Momamia im on my first month ttc I got my iud out feb 24 and started a withdraw bleed or period on the 26th before I only had tracked for one pregnancy and always had 28day cycles but that was 8 years ago! I am on day 4 on flashy smileys and having cramps so hoping it's soon! Like tomorrow! Haha I had 20 sticks now I only have 8 left....

Was it the hormonal iud? If it was, I know it can take a few cycles for your lining to build up to sustain a pregnancy, so don't worry if it takes a bit. If I were you, I'd go ahead and bd tonight. If you get a solid smiley tomorrow, just leave that as your attempt but if you don't get a solid for another 4 days, I'd bd again. Otherwise it would be too far between when you bd and when you ovulate.

Thank you! After a bit of googling apparently you can't go by the lines on the advanced digital it means nothing. I am obviously in the wrong group lol as I'm not in the 2ww yet but I do love the bond here :)

[SweetLily]

Robin congrats!! That can't be your trigger still, I've done that too many times.

My beta was bfn so those tests were nothing but false positives. I had a crazy couple days and am back to cd 2 and starred femara today. Will probably o in 9 or 10 days so maybe this will be our month?

Loved all the updates :)

[Katt2275]

Congrats Robin! Good luck AshFind and Erin! [emoji2]

[Katt2275]

DH and I had another attempt today. We are swaying girl, but with our ages (we're older) we've got to be more realistic about our chances. Hoping that doesn't put me in too much boy territory. [emoji51] I got my first positive on Thursday. We BD Thursday night and again today. Opk today still showed a positive, but that's normal for me to get a up to 4 days of positive opks.

[Pbn3]

Ash no need to be in the actual 2ww to be in here :) it's nice to get to know everyone plus if you have any questions in lead up to o its a great place to post for quick answers. Also agree with momamia about bding. Go for it tonight then wait and see when solid smiley arrives....

Lola omg how have you not tested????? Test now please!!!!!

Momamia keeping an eye on your chart, hopefully your intuition is off 😉

Great news Robin! Cant waot for your next update!!

Im preganant..whoooohoooooo. cant believe it...its a faint positive line on my clearblue but definitely there i even had hubby check. I havent stopped blinking crying girls so happy. I think i must have ovulated 4 days after the opk became a solid smiley as that's when i had my ewcm and thankfully we bd..
Awww i hope everyone else waiting to test get positives in the next few days xxx.

@lola - I had a negative with a frer at 11dpo. Not even a hint of a line. I ended up with a positive at 14dpo. It was definitely 11dpo too when I tested because I'd had follicle scans and definitely knew the ovulation day.
She was a late implanter. Only showed up with 49hcg in a blood test at 14dpo too and they were concerned it was really low for that time frame and I might miscarry, obviously never did. Don't ever count yourself out until AF shows!

[Pbn3]

Spotting started tonight bang on time and exactly the same as last cycle (night of 14dpo). Kinda feeling positive as I my lp has increased by 2 days! My cycles seem perfect, o on cd14 and lp of 14 so hopefully my next cycle will be the one! Cd14 falls on my hubbys last night shift which I was dreading but after consulting Atomic today I have a plan to take clomid from cd5-9 instead of 3-7 in the hope of delaying o by a few days. This way I'll hopefully be able to get several attempts around o 😀

Just thought it would be darker at 14dpo. Maybe I implanted late & the AF cramps were implantation. I don't have anything else to pee on or I would pee on them all lol. I will have to make a trip to the store! Should I get excited??? If this is a BFP, how ironic that this is the same day we find out if BIL & wife steal our girl name. Fx they have a boy lol.

Robin, going by my lmp my due date would be November 17, but going by when I actually think i ovulated it should be more like November 23. I was over a week late with both my boys, so either way it will most likely be the very end of November! How about you?

And you, fiveboys and Lola? (Lola, I see a line even without tweaking the image). Today seems like a really lucky morning for this group!

Going by ovulation for me it says EDD to be Nov 22. I always get bumped up due dates at first scan by 6 days. But then go over that due date 😂.
So I'd say end of Nov too.

Robin & Erin-My EDD would be Nov 18th based on 1st day of last AF. I o'd on time, but must have implanted later, does that make a difference in calculating? I would have a scheduled c-section, so that puts me at Nov 10th/11th.

What's the most sensitive digital test? I'm going to get more frer's and a digital one. Need to pee on more stuff haha.

Robin, I'm not covered either and it's about $500 here in Montreal. I really want to know if this third and final baby is a girl, but I'm too cheap to pay that kind of cash.

Lola, I've heard that if you take apart the FRERs they will always get an evap line and aren't accurate, but I'm not sure if that's actually true or not. I DID see a faint line on the earlier photo of the FRER you didn't take apart, so I would trust in that!

I wonder if it's the same here in Ontario price wise?.. I've never actually looked into it just read online that was the price.

Mine is NOT covered bc I am under 35 so I think it's like $800 ��

Its £500 in the uk..i dont know how il persuade hubby �� x

[Lolabelle]

Ugh, I hope it's not an evap line! I took another frer-the flat kind & I see another very faint line! Do you see it too? Haven't told DH yet! I'll test in the AM to see if it gets darker. The test I would take in the US is the materni t21, insurance should cover...only thing good about being advanced maternal age lol!

[Roedinga1]

I see it! I don't know that an evap line would photograph that easily. I mean, this isn't even a squinter to me.

....And just found out that BIL & wife are having a girl and officially "stealing" our girl name. I don't think it's intentional, but still upset (happy for them at the same time). They live 10 hours away...we may still use our name anyway...that is if the sway works!!! Fx!!!

[Erin514]

Lola, I see the line. I think you can consider this a BFP even though digi was negative, it just needs more time to show up.

Sorry about the name. May I ask what the name is? Maybe they will change their minds about using it, or maybe you will find something else you love if you both have girls. It does suck that you had your heart set on it for so long, though.

[Erin514]

Robin, I shopped around for prices when I was pregnant a few months ago, and they were all in the $490 - $520 range here. I had a friend get it done two years ago for her son and they cost $800 back then!! (Same test, harmony).

I don't know for Ontario but I think it's likely the cost has come down everywhere that's​ big enough to have a bit of competition. If you're in some place like Toronto I bet it will be cheaper, if you're in a small town with one clinic, they will probably charge more...

Thank you! Yes we are just a hour out of Toronto. I'll look into it. I've seen panorama and harmony.. but not sure on the pricing.

Oh Lola!!! I'm so sorry!!! I'm sure you are devastated!! My sister did that to me 3 times!!! I don't know how she kept knowing my favorite girl names?! With one daughter, my mom was trying to get her to use the exact first and middle name combination that I liked. I lost it on my mom. It is actually my own middle name and I want to use it for my daughter. I told her that I would never forgive her if she gave her my middle name!! Eventually I got over it. They are definitely made for those names and now I have picked a new name. We made a family rule that whoever is due first is the one who gets to use the name. Of course I haven't been able to get pregnant during the time (10 years) that she's been having kids, so it was more of a "you don't get to be angry at me for guessing your favorite names" agreement. Rest assured that time will help you heal and you could always use the same name. I have 3 Brian's, 2 Mark's, 3 Lori's and 2 Isabella's in my family. It has never caused a problem. :)

I want to do one of the tests so bad but I'm 29 and I'm pretty sure the age is 30 here but I'm going to try and find out if I can talk someone into it lol. Lola that's a clear line not even close to a squinter! CONGRATS!! As for me I'm sure af is here and it's not just spotting! So onto the next step for me just not sure why I keep getting flashing smileys I've wasted so many digis!! I have 9left for next cycle hopefully I can get A static in that window

[Pbn3]

Omg lola 😮😮😀😀 what an amazing surprise for you!

Congratulations to both you and Erin 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[Pbn3]

Ash what cd are you on??

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

[AshFind]

So before I had my iud out I had normal af on feb 11th I had it out on the 24th and was figuring my "withdrawal" bleed as a period since it lasted 4 days but apparently it was just a "withdrwal" bleed because af would have been normally due today since I used to have 28 day cycles... so assuming my mid bleed was not supposed to be there and just from getting my iud out I'm putting myself in cycle day 1... just glad it's here and I can now have somewhat of a plan
Where r u at pbn?? I should ovulate around the 26th.

[AshFind]

Pbn if the 26th was a real period I'd be on cycle day 16 I guess I'll know in a couple days there was a bit more than spotting but now I just went to the bathroom and there's nothing more than a pink tinge... so frustrating wish af would just come so I could move on

[Pbn3]

Ash I'm trying to delay o to the last days in March by taking clomid later otherwise I'd be oing around the 26th. Hoping for 28th-30th. I'm cd1 today.

Can you get your hands on some cheapie opks and save the digis for now? I wouldn't count spotting as cd1 unless full flow shows by lunch time (not sure what time it is where you are, its early morning here) I hope you get some answers soon one way or the other, would be super frustrating!

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

[AshFind]

Just seen Australia so cool! It's nearly 5pm here. I had quite a bit late morning but now it's hardly anything grrr.... never thought I'd be happy to see af lol ready to get her out of the way!! But on the bright side if you are cd1 we would be figuring out everything about the same time! Fix for us lol

[cosmosis]

:cheer::cheer::cheer:Congrats to all the BFP's! :) SO happy for you Robin and Erin! :cheer::cheer::cheer:

The strip inside a digital test doesn't mean anything. :) It's not the same a regular line test.

I was quoted $550 for Panorama, in Alberta. So not in the budget, as nice as it would be to know so soon.

[Lolabelle]

Moma-can't believe your mom purposely suggested for your sis to use YOUR name! Gosh, must be soo frustrating for all of your names to be taken! I'm going back & forth with...well do we just use it anyway if we have a girl or come up with something else. They don't live near us, but same last name. My DH & I watched the reveal on Facebook live & while super happy for them, I just went silent for about 10 min.
Erin-"our" name is Sophia. It is prob one of the top names in the US, but it has been my favorite for years! All of our family knew it was the name we chose if either son was a girl. She is newer to the family though so I think it's unintentional. We have also named all of our babies "S" names, so would need to think of another S if we want to stick with the theme haha.
Thanks Pbn! I'm definitely surprised...thought I was out for sure!
Pbn & Ash-fx for the upcoming cycle!!! Positive vibes!!!

[Lolabelle]

Thanks foxtrot...won't take another digital for awhile, don't like seeing "No"
I'm going to test again tomorrow AM & hope the line is darker on the frer!!!

I know! My mom and I don't really get along very well. She tends to know exactly what to do to make me the most upset and then that's all she does is push my buttons. It's so frustrating! When my BIL announced that they were expecting. I just knew it was going to be another girl (and it was), so I cried for hours. I was totally inconsolable! Poor DH cried right along with me. I'm astounded that you only were silent for 10 min. I would never be able to keep it together like that.

[momamia4]

Ugh. I've been having a super emotional day today. :tissue: I really don't like that the trigger shot makes my body think it's pregnant. It really starts to mess with my head. :( It's kind of cruel, if you think about it. You're taking a woman who is trying desperately to get pregnant and then you give her pregnancy hormone to make her ovulate. Obviously, it works for it's intended purpose but it also really makes you so sad when it starts to leave your system. You get a taste of pregnancy without the joy of a baby at the end. Right now I'm exhausted, nauseous, and super irritable. I'm not looking forward to going to work tomorrow. I'm going to be useless! DH tries to be sympathetic but just keeps failing miserably! It really makes me want to give him a trigger shot and see how his body likes it! :mad::mad::mad: Sorry for the rant. :(

[Pbn3]

Oh momamia I for one have never thought of how the trigger shot would make you feel and you have every right to feel sad, annoyed or however the hell you want! Huge hugs and rant away anytime xxoo

Moma-feel free to rant!! I def do!! So annoying that family would purposely push your buttons in such a personal way-names are a big deal! Don't blame you for crying-I would have too! When they announced "girl" at their reveal, I was just speechless. I heard someone cheer and shout "our" name. I sort of zoned out & couldn't talk. DH was just laughing at me, but he's disappointed too & thinks we should still use it. Here's the kicker...If everything works out for us, the expected csection date could be BIL's Birthday! They take our name, we'll take his bday...jk...we won't let it hold us back...or maybe we'll find a new name. See now I'm ranting lol. I'm sorry you're having an emotional day, huge hugs!!!!!

[foxtrotmama]

I've been keeping my cards close to my chest for pink names. I'm really attached to a specific combo and I don't want to "lose" it to some other family member with similar taste in books!

Well, I tested again this AM with fmu. The line is about the same, not darker like I expected. AF is officially overdue. I'm worried that I got excited over nothing! Shouldn't it be a lot darker today...am I headed towards a m/c ugh...never had one so don't know what to expect...is this how it starts?

[Pbn3]

Lola please don't read anything into it yet. It takes 48 hours for hcg to double to take a test in two mornings from now and you should see some progression.

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

[fiveboys]

Put some piks up lola..i think until we all get our first scan we are going to be worrying everyday..my af is due tomorrow and every twinge im thinking o god af is here..so stressful swaying and now stressful for 9 months arghhhhhh men definitely have it easier ☺

[fiveboys]

Just wondering ladies for those doing the harmony tests will you be counting your 10th week from last af or ovulation/conception x

[Lolabelle]

Thanks for the reassurance! I needed that :) I was feeling so defeated when I left for work. I only snapped a quick pic before I left, so it's not the best, but pretty much looks like yesterday's. Just expected it to be darker. Do you see it? Fx that maybe it darkens tomorrow!!

[Roedinga1]

It's still very much there, Lola! Like Pbn3 said, HCG doubles every 48 hours at this stage so I would look for the line to be darker over the next day or 2! Congrats!!

I took the same as you except I took it twice. Once before ovulation (to induce it) and then another time 4 days ago to help my body make more progesterone naturally. My body is super sensitive to all of these hormonal changes. They've been giving me so many lately that I'm so thrown off! I wish I could just sleep until I'm pregnant, lol! I think that would be so much easier!!

Momamia for some reason I cant see the link to your chart anymore?

I know I haven't been as active in here as usual and I apologize... sometimes I need to take a step back. Next cycle will be my last if I get decent attempts in. I absolutely do not want to enter yet another new year of a due date. Both me and dh already feel past our due date age wise, I turn 39 in June and he turns 46 :( I also feel sad at being left behind all the time. It's a blessing meeting so many wonderful ladies but the downside is I don't get to join the due date groups, or when I do, I miscarry.... sorry for being a downer I'm cd1 so I have an excuse lol. I really hope for a sticky bean next cycle and will do my best so I can stick around but at the moment it feels like that impossible dream and I both envy but also celebrate all these bfps happening, I just wish so much I was one of them :(

Awe I am so sorry. I haven't been ttc as long as you so I can't begin to imagine the stress of that on you.
I do know though from my experience of us ttc for 7 cycles it was beyond emotionally taxing.If this cycle was a bust for us (and I'm still not convinced until I get second betas back) I was going to take a few months off to focus on myself. I was going to stop diet and go back to no carbs and get into a major- summer is coming -fitness plan. I started to plan trips with girlfriends and my family to get me excited about something other than a baby. I pray this is your month!! But if it doesn't work out...have you thought about taking some time off instead of stopping? I know you said you don't want to go onto another year and I get that.. but maybe you just need to shift your focus bavk on YOU for a bit. Id say start thinking if whatever you want to do that makes you happy. Maybe during that break you will reconsider wanting to not try again?.
I know how hard we are on ourselves during this whole ttc journey and it can take a toll.
Just know we are always here for support...

Pbn, I hear you! It certainly does take a toll emotionally. Hugs!! :bighug:

[XXforhubby]

Pbn3- (((Huge Hugs))) My heart just goes out to you, sweetie. You have been through so much, and I pray that you will get your much deserved BFP. I wish that I could just wave a magic wand and make it be so.

If I may give you some advice, is there anyway that you *could* keep trying for at least 3 more cycles? The reason I ask is my RE told me that IF Clomid is going to work, it usually works in about 3 cycles or the cycle after stopping Clomid (this was the case for me). I know this whole TTCing and BFNs are emotionally taxing, but I'd hate to see you half heartedly try something like Clomid without giving it a good chance to see if it may work. Just a thought. I wouldn't skip taking Clomid for any cycles, I would, if you can, take it for 3 consecutive cycles. I wouldn't take it days 5-9. My RE said with someone over 35, days 3-7, or 2-6 are best because it causes you to produce a much healthier egg. Also, since you didn't conceive on 50mg, it is totally appropriate to bump it up to 100mg. If you want to PM me, I can talk to you more about what my RE said and can even consult him for you about your situation, if you'd like. He and I are close family friends.

[acaason27]

Pbn- I hope this cycle works out, my heart goes out to you, really hope you get a bfp! Trying can really take a toll on you.

My period is expected Friday, had spotting starting Thursday and it has been on/off since then. No heavy bleed what so ever and mostly *TMI* after a BM. The only time I spotted a week prior to my period was with all 4 of my pregnancies, but I am totally second guessing this since we were not really trying. BFN on the test this morning.

[foxtrotmama]

Pbn, I really hope this is your cycle.

Robin, I'm so happy to see such a clear positive!

Who is testing soon?

[Lolabelle]

Pbn-you are an amazing support here & always have great advice! I sooo want this cycle to be YOUR time! Everything crossed for you & still sending positive vibes your way!!! I'm so sorry you've gone through so much heartache & I know it takes it's toll on you! Maybe you could plan a vacation too for some r&r and as a distraction?! Hugs!!!
fiveboys-I think I would count 10 weeks from when the last AF started. Don't know if that's correct, but that's what I was thinking.
Robin-your lines look beautiful!!!! Congrats!!!!!
I hope my lines start to look like yours Robin!
Thanks for the support everyone! Maybe I just need to be patient & hope tomorrow looks darker. I had nice lines in the beginning for both boys and since this is so different...just worries me a little. I guess as long as AF stays away...I'll try to remain positive & hopeful. I have been fortunate to never have gone through a m/c and can't imagine what some of you have gone through, but definitely empathize with the heartbreak!! You imagine a whole life for this tiny human. Praying sooo hard everyday for this one to work out!!! I told DH & he was so excited!

[AshFind]

Af has arrive full force it stinks but I am a bit excited because if I log the withdraw bleed as just that an not a period I am right on schedule! Excited to see what next month brings plus I will have a stronger sway having 4 weeks under my belt! Got my hour of cardio in today! Yay!! Will be testing the first week of April which so happens to be the week before we go on vacation ...

[Pbn3]

Thank you all so much for your beautiful messages ❤ I really am ok and I'm just feeling done again, just like I was feeling last April prior to my second pregnancy so this is a good thing!

Xxforhubby thank you so much for the offer of help with your RE! If I planned on continuing I would definately take you up on your very generous offer!! This will be my third consecutive clomid cycle and I really need to try and delay o as I have an almost zero chance of getting an attempt in if I o on or before cd14. Hence I was hoping to delay o by taking it days 5-9...... if I cant delay o then there's almost no point trying this cycle....

So, I just had to test again this evening. The line may look a little darker, but not a lot...guess I'm just impatient! Of course I will have to test again in the AM too. If I implanted later, then it makes sense that I would see faint lines. I've been researching & reading where late implantation past a certain amount of days has higher rates of m/c. Ugh, I think I just need to stop googling everything & calm down haha. I've read some success stories too...so I need to stay optimistic! I still have signs, but may be reading into them: still frequent urination, sore bb's, all kinds of twinges in my abdomen, hungry/empty feeling when I wake up, strong smells, foods taste extra sweet or salty, no AF or spotting...these may make more sense if the line was darker, but time will tell.
Here's the latest:

Lola, I can definitely see progression!! Try not to worry so much. Dr Google is horrible!! I know it's hard but try to stay away from it. It tends to cause more trouble than it's worth. :)

You're absolutely right Moma!! Dr. Google lol-definitely a troublemaker! Basically "worry" is my middle name haha... which is why I'm on a very small dose of Zoloft. An unintentional plus to taking it...Atomic said that could only help my girl sway though :) ...but speaking of the meds, does anyone know if I should start weaning off Zoloft with a BFP? I wasn't on it with either DS and I have slowly weaned off before.

[Lolabelle]

Also...I meant say I can definitely see the trigger shot fading out Moma!! :)

[momamia4]

I'd call your doctor and ask them. I know my sister always weaned off of hers. I don't know if it's the same for everyone though.

Wow those are dark momamia!! Hope they look like that again in a week or so!!

Lola I'm also on zoloft and both my gp and ob said I can take it when ttc plus when pregnant. I wanted to wean off during the first trimester and if things went downhill I was told I could resume taking it. Definately check with your doc though as not all of them agree and you should follow their recommendation :)

I took zoloft all through my pregnancy with DS2. I tried weaning off it unsuccessfully when TTC him so I wasn't going to risk doing it when pregnant. I weaned when he was about 18 months old but did it very slowly. If you have weaned off it ok before it you may be ok doing it when when pregnant.

[Pbn3]

Hiya Purple!!!! Have you had bub???

[Lolabelle]

Thanks for the advice moma, pbn & purple!! I'm only on 25mg, but very helpful! I will definitely check with my dr soon (after I monitor these lines for the next few days). I weaned off several months before ttc DS1 in 2012, then didn't get back on it again until after DS2 in 2015 when I felt like I needed it again!
Purple-you look like a successful girl sway-congrats! I hope to be you haha! 2 boys & a girl :) perfect scenario :)

35374 im finally going to stop testing today...cant wait to get to 6 weeks then i will be more happy.... is there anyone else left to test? X

[Lolabelle]

Congrats fiveboys!!!

Well, today's test is about the same and I have some blood. This can't be good news. And just like that...hopes & dreams can be crushed! I don't have experience with this so eventually will the line be gone if it's a chemical, but get darker if there was just spotting?

Lola I'm so sorry and have everything crossed that the spotting stops. Are you able to get in for 48hr betas? That way you'll have a definate answer and not be relying on a hpt getting darker.... huge hugs xxoo

[momamia4]

Lola, yes, usually it will get lighter if your bleeding increases. :bighug:

Well my temp went up a tiny bit today but I'm sure it's just from the progesterone.

Robin, I hope you hear good news.
Lola, if it's just light spotting it could still be normal. I really hope for you that it doesn't turn heavier. Will you go on for betas? :(

Afm, it took until 12 dpo but I finally got a line other people can see! I knew I was pregnant!

Well, I now have cramps & the blood has only increased...dare I say that AF is here. Woe is me! I'm not sure how to feel...mostly numb & just trying to stay busy at work. These are times that Zoloft really helps!!! I had already imagined so much. It really doesn't help that my favorite name was just "stolen" by family and I have to see them posting the name all over Facebook. Lately I feel like everyone keeps asking me when we're going to "try for a girl." We're also in the market for a new car & DH was looking at an SUV with a 3rd row. These little details all get to me. A chemical is a chemical & maybe I would have never known had I not tested, but still doesn't make it any easier. I sure do sound like a Debbie downer & that's not usually me, but this has been a roller coaster ride that I did not enjoy! I am truly glad you all have been here for support. I don't know what I would have done without your advice and encouragement!!! "At first if you do not succeed, try try again" Okkk here we go December baby!!! FX!!!
FX for those of you testing! Please know that I'm happy for all of you!

Awe Lola I totally know how you feel! During this journey I've had 2 chemicals. It's devastating. It's true that testing earlier only makes it worse bc we know what's going on. But that didn't stop me every month after it...
My old dr even had the nerve to say to me after blood test that my levels were so low that it doesn't even really count!.. like REALLY? My first one was las5 October and it hit me hard. I was so excited for a July baby. I was envisioning summer birthday parties etc. Just take this time to do what you love. Eat cake abd chocolate ... that's what I did for a day or two.. then got back on track.
We are here for you! Xo

Lola, I'm so sorry. A chemical can be very rough when you get your hopes up and start to imagine your baby. You have every right to be sad and take some time to recover. It's really awful that the timing worked out this way with your family celebrating their pregnancy. Don't feel too bad if you need to just take some distance from them for a bit. :(

Thank you all for the thoughtful words & sharing experiences!! I really appreciate it!! So this must be a chemical (and my 1st)...typical AF so far. Doubt I will bother to waste another test. Thank goodness we have a lot of leftover birthday cake so I can feel sorry for myself for a day haha. Luckily I'm too busy to sit at home obsessing right now, but it is difficult concentrating today. I work with special needs children in a school and working with my entertaining students completely keeps my mind off of it, but then when I sit to do the paperwork in between...just can't focus! I hugged my boys a little tighter & had to remind myself that I am very blessed!
How can I be sad with this view so often? :)
Thanks again!!

Here's today's test. I don't know why they are taking forever to fade?! It has only been since Friday though, so that's probably why.
