DM, how are you feeling???
Thanks Ladies! I am so hoping this is my month. My timing scares me though. We me ovulating a day earlier it messed things up. I was looking for a 1 to 1.5 day cutoff and instead think I dtd within 12 and 4 hours of O....major boy timing...I just pray the diet and hormone changes made the difference!
Hope you are feeling good DM!
Good Luck to all us ladies...we need some BFP's!!!
Hi ladies - thanks everyone for your kind words.
DM - I normally don't believe in readings of any sort, but I do find it interesting that she predicted a BFP in September when I thought that couldn't be a possibility...and now here I am hoping for one! I had a big hesitation yesterday when I realised that my due date will be right at the beginning of my Mom's 2 week trip to Europe, so it's pretty sure she wouldn't be here for the birth. I had a good cry, but then talked to her and though she admitted she really doesn't like the thought of not being here for the big moment, she could always fly home if there was an emergency or I needed her, and she thinks I might as well let fate decide my timing for me instead of taking months off what has proven to be a stressful TTC journey. I love my Mom!
Anyway, I'm really pulling for some BFPs here. Emmy, princess - I'm looking at you two!
Oh, and welcome to our little group, Washington! I'm a POAS addict too, but I think I might try to take it a bit more easy this cycle, mostly because all those FRERs are breaking the bank!
Mocha...Sorry about AF! FX for next time!
Congrats on any BFP!! (trying to cover everyone...since I get in here read all the posts and then forget who had what! Sorry ladies I have mommy brain!)
And as for a FRER for me I may just wait out the next few days.....Wed. will be 28d and if AF doesn't show then I will test again.......I am thinking I got a bad batch of ic pg....with evp's.....I took one yesterday and drip it in just some water and got a faint line (but it didn't have any color...the ones I had taken had color)? And I am not sure where the real line is suppose to be on those things...never used them before......or maybe it was way to early...but they aren't getting any darker either! :confused:
So I have no idea.....and I really don't want to waste money on something like a FRER....ykwim! I keep going back and forth on what to do....AF has not shown yet but I still have a few days.....if it comes Wed. that is 28 days and would be totally back to normal for me! :fingers:
You have more patience then me Princess!!
I so hope that is a sign for you Mocha!! I got the prediction of a conception and/or positive pregnancy test in july or august and it would be a girl! I so hope this is my month then!!! Hopefully I will get my BFP this month and you will get yours in Sept like predicted! I don't always believe in signs but with swaying and how hard it is you have to believe in things to get you through the day!
Ok ladies...I had one IC test left so I took it just to see what would happen.....Here is a pic...now this is with SMU....and with in the 5 min mark...and then I went back in at 15min or so line was way darker than before....the other IC tests I have took never got darker after the 5 min mark....what do you ladies think???
I may go get a few FRERS...if you guys think this not crazy! :bigsmile:
1st pic....SMU with in 5 min mark
2nd pic...is what I saw after looking again later
GO BUY A FRER!!! You are so preggers!!!! Whoo Hooo!!!
I agree - it's clear as a bell. You're preggers! Congrats!!!! I think at this point you could even get a digi so you can see the beautiful word 'pregnant' on your test!
Remind me...what DPO are you?
I really have no idea....if I go by the o date of the 20th...I am only 9dpo...but I was getting a faint line at 6dpo...so I don't think that the 20th was right...I prob O'd sooner than that...see why I am so confused!!Quote:

I think I will break down and drive the 20 mins to get a FRER or digital....which one is more sensitive?
I would get both...but I am alittle crazy! If you are going it get only one I would get the FRER, it is more sensitive. I am going to Walmart tonight cause I can get a 3 pack of FRER for 12 and a 2 pack of digis for 9!
Thanks for the welcome.
Wow princess...those don't look like evaps!!! I believe the FRER are more sensitive. I might have to log back on later to see your new pics.
See, my new system is working, I have no urge to test (although I am only 3dpo) and I can obsess over others :)
Emmy I will take all your blue dust if you will take all my pink.
WOW, PS, that is a BFP!!!! No doubt about it, in my opinion. Congrats!!!! And I agree, if you want to be definitive about it, then yea, go for a FRER or a digital. That's great!!! :pregnant:
Emmy, I don't think your timing is off, and I don't think timing matters anyway. There are several failed boy sways I remember from IG where they dtd right on top of O....I really think it just has to do with your body's enviroment (diet and T levels), so let's think pink if you are indeed pg! And I'll share that blue dust with WP, LOL, and give you double the pink. :wink:
WP, I'm getting the urge already.....I got invited to a bachelorette party for one of my dancers (I'll be the sad old fat one, lol) on Friday night, and I'll be 8dpo....so will have to just go and be lame or not go. I don't want to go if I'm going to be the old fat one that is drinking water with lemon! So, my urge has kicked in. Plus, I felt nauseated, little waves of it, on 1 and 3dpo, which is very odd and super early if it is anything, I don't know.
Test Lola!! LOL, can you tell I am bad influence! LOL I tested last night (7dpo way too early) and this am (8dpo) with my IC's I got at early preg test.com...theya re the new ones that test 10, blue handle. I do not know yet if they are any good. I could almost swear I saw a slight shadow last night (I am sure it was really nothing) but then nothing this am. I have never tested positive before 11 dpo but that does'nt stop me. I really want my BFP this month and before thursday which is Sept 1st....I got a predicted from Ruby I would convieve a girl and/or get my positve test in July or Aug so I want to test positive by Wednesday, plus with my last two boys I got my BFP on the 1st ( one Feb 1st other Nov 1st) so to me the 1st is a boy sign. I know that is silly...but hey....I am kinda silly! You have to be alil crazy to do all this swaying!!!
Thanks for pink dust girls......I so need it!!! And I am blowing blue dust to both of you!!!
Hello ladies, because of my crazy cycles I'm back in the 2WW. I was supposed to be taking a break from swaying, but oh well, life has something different in store.
How is everybody? Are there bunches of BFPs?:cheerteam:
LOL, Emmy, I would be all over it if I were 8dpo....I'm only 4dpo today. But maybe I will on Friday morning just for kicks, which is when I will be 8dpo. Alright, I was trying to be zen about it with WP, but now I'm getting all ancy.
Good Luck Yuzu!!! Hope this is your month!!!
Lola...I know what you mean....the testing bug has officially bitten!! LOL
Hey Yuzu, FX!!!
Lola and Emmy- I'm really well, thanks! I have to say I'm a tad bit freaked out right now. My m/s starts at 6w on the dot. It has gotten progressively worse with each pregnancy- 6-16w with DS1, 6-18w with DS2, and 6-20w with DS3. Not much puking, but CONSTANT nausea and dry heaving. I lost a lot of weight in the first few weeks with each kiddo. Well, with this one I have had a few moments of nausea when I haven't eaten recently, and that's it. No food aversions, no gagging or dry heaving....just a yucky feeling every once in awhile. No other symptoms other than some round ligament pain. I'm trying to stay calm and I know that what will be, will be. I just wish I had a window in my uterus;)
Good luck to you both! I really hope you get your BFP's this month!!!! xoxoxo
Ok Ladies....went out bought a FRER and a Digital....and I could not wait until tomorrow morning.....so i took a digital as soon as we got home......and.......not sure what do you think?
Yay!!! Congrats Princess!!!! Here come the May babies!!!! Yippee! :cheerteam:
Congratulations !!!
Yay, congratulations!!! Seeing those lovely words is a great way to confirm your pregnant!!!!!
:rofl: Gotta love those digis - no room for misinterpretation. Congratulations! :celebrate:Quote:

So, obviously I'm not pregnant since I am 3 days into af now, but I just noticed something this morning and wanted to share. I was finally getting rid of the month's used pregnancy tests, and I was about to throw out my FRER from 11dpo when I noticed a distinct, dark second line on it. It definitely wasn't there the day of the test, or even a couple of days later, because I studied it in every kind of light to try to see a line. I've never seen an evap line on a FRER before - I often keep them for days and never see any difference, so I wonder if it was a defective one or something. The screen has taken on a yellow tinge as well, which the other tests (some from the same box) don't have. It's also weird that it didn't develop until days later. Good thing I have af or I'd be going crazy thinking I'm pregnant right now!
Princess: Congratulations!!! I would really like to get one of those digi....they look so pretty.
Lola: Wow, you are getting a little ansy. Your in the right place though, the 2WW ladies will POAS earlier than 10dpo. Your already 5dpo....you could get a + on 8dpo......now you see why my tests are locked up.
Emmy: Thanks for the dust for Lola and me.
DM: Maybe your lack of nausea is from carrying a girl :)
Mocha: Don't know about the test....maybe an evap?
You ladies that temp....
Do you think my temps are normal? They seem to be climbing for the sky. I thought they didn't do that until after implantation. I mean, they can't just keep going up....I'll have a fever soon :)
CONGRATS, PRINCESS!!!!! Love seeing that word, always!!!! So glad you grabbed a "real" test, lol. So excited for you, and will be praying that this sweet baby is nestled happily in your arms in 9 months. :baby:
DM, oy, the ms.....I had it same time frame with DD1, like 6w-16w. With DD2, I kept it at bay pretty well with some tricky eating tactics, sea bands, and working out a lot. Exercise seemed to help me feel better, mostly walking on the treadmill. I never barfed either, just constant state of ewwwww. Well, I always say that m/s is a sign of a good pregnancy, so although I hate it for you, it's good to hear! I hope you get some relief sooner than 20wks with this one!!!
Speaking of nausea, I've had little touches of it, here and there, and definitely have sore boobs....although I hate to get excited because it could be the progesterone that I'm taking. It frequently mimics pg symptoms. I *may* get a poas frenzy going on later this week and go for it at 8dpo.....we'll see!
WP, loving those temps!!!
Well, that's super weird! They always turn yellow from the pee a few days later, but the second line being there? Hmm. I guess it was an evap, although you are right, never heard of FRERs getting those. I'm pulling for ya for next month, Mocha!Quote:

DM...FX that the less sickness is a good sign!! Plus it makes it much more bearable for you!!!
Mocha...that is wierd about the test....FRER's normally do not give evaps
AFM..... I am LOVING my chart right now!!!! If I am not pregnant I am not charting next month cause it gets my hopes up too much!!! Am I crazy to hope???!!! What do you guys think????
Washington...my temps were crap right after I ovulated but have since improved. I love temping....but then I hate temping....adds to the emotional rollarcoaster for sure!!
Good Morning Ladies!! Thank you for all the wonderful Congrats!! I am still in quite a bit of shock this morning! I am glad to have no more doubts.....but now seems to start the worry over other things.....which I knew that if we ever fell pg again that I would have these fears. Losing Evan was the hardest thing I ever had to deal with and there was no real reason given as to why he even developed Hydrops! So am I scare....YA! Am I trying really hard to not freak out about it all....YA!
So this morning I have a lot on my mind......but I am so glad I have wonderful Ladies like you to vent fears to...well that is if you are willing to listen! Going back and est. my due felt kind nice and kinda weird too....I still keep thinking I shouldn't be doing this I should have a 5 month old right now! I know crazy right. Well I was giving a due date of May 6 2012...so we will see what happens from here on out! Is there a May due date section yet.....IG doesn't have one yet and it felt weird not seeing it there! I mean I guess I am the 1st one for May?
Emmy, YEA! Nice temp climb there! I am with you, love/hate relationship with temping. Mine was a fraction lower today than yesterday, and it's kinda set me off into a mood today where I don't think I'm pg.
PrincessSarah, I can totally understand you being afraid....I will be also if I get pg again, although my loss was earlier than yours. All you can do is remain positive and remind yourself that you have nothing to worry about until a doctor tells you that you have something to worry about. And, I'd like to think that the odds of it happening again are way way slim. There are lots of other women on this site who are pg after a loss.....you should start a thread in the pg forum so everyone can share their feelings and ways of coping with the fears....NOT that you aren't welcome to here, of course!!! And definitely start a May thread, I hope to be joining you there shortly!
PrincessSarah, I had a really hard time reading that digital.:wink:
Just kidding! Congratulations, you must be thrilled!
Lola: You can't count a temp drop as counting you out until after implantation, right? Girl your only 5dpo.
Yuzu: I have plenty of pink dust for you....I'll just rub my toddler on the monitor. That should work right?
edited to say: I am only going to temp a couple more days (to see where it's going to level). Temping in the 2WW really does cause a lot of heartache.
:omg: That made me laugh....:rofl:Quote:

I hope you will be able to enjoy this pregnancy, I completely understand the worries, it was the same for me when I was pregnant with DS2, although the loss I had in between my 2 boys was a lot earlier than when you lost Evan. Hopefully time flies!
Ah yes Emmy, I love where that temp is going!
:rofl: Is that a promise? I can really use all the help I can get! Maybe you can rub her across the monitor a couple of times, just to make sure!Quote:
