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.

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]Quote:

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.Quote:

Shan, that middle test most definitely has 2 lines!!! Can't wait to see tomorrow's test!! FX
Maxim, I'm pretty sure I saw a pink shadow on your test this morning which makes me think your better off as a "FMU" tester. Can't wait to see tomorrow's stick! And yes, the tww is all consuming and mildly torturous! It's literally all I think about/google about for 2 solid weeks! [emoji30] FX soooo hard for you!

Hi and welcome srg!! Woohoo for smiley!! So what's your bd plan for swaying blue? Will you dtd tomorrow morning and evening again?? This would be the only thing I'd dislike about swaying blue - the cluster of bd's at pos opk lol. I'm not much one for scheduled bding e2/3 days as it is let alone trying to achieve that!! 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?

xx, wow that was really fast!!!! I heard from friends that are pregnant that they had blood tests at 10 weeks to check for genetics and also confirmed sex. Have you heard about that??
Pbn-Yes! I'm 4dpo too!!!! Getting closer to test time :)
Shannshaff-I feel like I see a line on the middle one! Oooo, can't wait to see tomorrow's test.
Maxim-fxfxfx! Not over yet!!!
I totally know what you mean-the 2WW is lasting forever! I'm reading into everything & always think about it. Only 4dpo, but frequent urination today...too early for that right?!
Welcome srg!! Yay for early smiley!!! :) Fx for your little boy!
Xx, sorry about your vanishing twin. That's so sad. :( Hopefully your morning sickness will pass soon! One of my coworkers is pregnant right now and she's having horrible morning sickness too. I feel so bad for her!
Shannshaff, I definitely see a line there!!

Maxim-that's the test I plan to do when the time comes-materni t21 & insurance covers advanced maternal age.
Hi srg! GL with your boy sway! Sending blue baby dust your way :)
Thanks ladies! I'm ok about it really. There is a small chance it could survive. The thought though of 4 kids under 5 scares me! What will be will be. I have one healthy bean and feel grateful about that!
I can't wait to see the rest of you get your BFPs! [emoji597][emoji92][emoji93][emoji94]

Xx- my best friend has 5 kids under 5 (boy twins, two other sons one year apart, and last "surprise" girl just born!). Her house is so much fun! I love the idea of a big family, wish DH felt the same! [emoji16]

Wow! She is braver than I! I am just trying to get through each day. I made peace with whatever the outcome may be. I am choosing to enjoy ever minute of this pregnancy- even the puking and diarrhea [emoji12]!

Look what I've got 😄 aussie ladies check the chemist warehouse if you're looking for these. They may still have stock!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...781f647b6a.jpg
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
Pbn3 you could buy those in bulk and sell them and make a profit at this rate LOL
Side note: yaaaayyy!!!
Oooohh good idea Burakoam!!! Lol and they only cost AUD$17.24!!! For some reason I thought they were more expensive!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
Burakoam look at this! I pulled out the 1pk ones to show how many there are. I'm at my local woolworths.... maybe Australia didn't get the memo 😂😂😂😂https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...19e784d68d.jpg
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
Wow! Pbn3 - I can't find those anywhere around here in Idaho :( FX'd you make it till at least 10dpo to test and you see your dark line ;)
srg - good luck with your blue sway and here is a TRUCK LOAD of blue baby dust for you!!!! :bluesperm:
XX - thank you so much for still checking in on us! You are so wonderful. Sorry you are dealing with bad ms and to hear about your vanishing twin. :( I know the panic of 5 under 5. Had that 2 years ago. ;) My ms was actually less last pg than all of my others and I was shocked since I had 3....so who knows what is going on.
Good morning ladies! Temp went up again this morning, but again test looks like bfn... [emoji853]

hmm, I'd like a better photo of your cheapie. Soft light (but not dark) works best and zoom in with your phone. There's a glare on this one where the second line goes so I can't tell. Or maybe it isn't wet all the way?Quote:

7dpo & :fingers: I can get past the next 3 days. If I can get to 11dpo it almost guarantees Im pregnant. Wish me luck. Im not testing until at least 11dpo
So sorry maxi and il keep my fx for you kc x
Maxim, how many DPO today? Can you post your chart? Maybe you haven't implanted yet. FX
KC, you can do it girl!! You'll save yourself a lot of stress too! FX

I love your positivity but there is not point testing too early as I have a short luteal phase around 8-10 days so anything after that is almost a guarantee - that & I am a cheapskate & I dont want to buy any more tests! I only have 1 left!Quote:

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.
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.

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....
No. He is at work until 6pm.. then kids don't go to bed until 9. Earliest would be that time.Quote:

Robin - Skipping a day will not be detrimental. Just get it done today. ;) Is there a way to put on a movie for the kids and sneak away before 9pm. I know if we wait till the kids are all asleep, we would always be too tired to BD. So we have to get creative and tell the kids that Mom and Dad need to "talk" for a few minutes.
kc - FXd for you to make it to 11dpo :)
Max - I swear I see something on the FRER - maybe I am getting line eyes now too. Chart is looking good though, so FXd that something shows up on those tests in the next few days.
My BF??? for the day. Sometimes I see a shadow - sometimes I think I am loosing it.

Shann, I definitely see something! I think you might get a clearer line tomorrow. Although, if that was mine, I'd probably save the FMU I used and run out to get a FRER.
