Sorry to hear Linz, but it is still early, and I think you have to test with first morning urine when testing this early. Fingers crossed that BFP pops up soon for you!
Good luck to everyone else who is still waiting to test!

Okay, so my DH and my mom confirmed that I am not crazy, I got a very, very, very faint BFP this morning on a FRER and a very faint positive on an internet cheapie tonight. Finally, a BFP!! This was our 3rd month trying, so I am very happy to see anything that looks promising. I'm glad we dropped the repHresh/sylk this month, because it seems like that was definitely what was keeping us from getting preggo. Let's hope it sticks! Bring on the cheeseburgers!!
Wonderful news :D Congratulations. Wishing you sticky thoughts :)
Yah!!! Christi!! Enjoy every bite xxx

Ha ha. Five pages in and I finally spot the October thread! Fingers crossed ladies. I've not tested for about a fortnight now. I kinda don't want to as I'm convinced it'll be negative again.
Huge congrats Christi!!!! Definitely enjoy the cheeseburger!!!!!!!!
I'm 12-13 dpo here (AF is due tomorrow). After the negative on FRER yesterday and zero symptoms I really don't even want to test today. I will test again tomorrow if I still don't feel AF symptoms. I woke up yesterday with a massive sore throat (and it's worse today). Swaying has made me a crazy person - I don't mind being sick (because it helps the sway), but I'm so pissed I've caught this cold in the wrong time in my cycle to help much.. LOL. I'm more annoyed I've had to take 2 days off exercise because I just don't feel up to going (as much as I'd like to).
I'm so upset. I think I'm out. Started spotting red last night around 9pm at 9dpo and this morning it's heavier and darker red spotting at 10dpo. I'm cd 25 now and NEVER GET af this early so I'm def confused but I don't think this is implantation bleeding as it's not pink it's red. Ugh. I really really thought I was pregs!

Congrats christi!!!
OMG this is NOT fair. What does a WHITE line on a FRER mean? The control line is the color its supposed to be but the line for a positive test is white. I mean I can very obviously see it its not my silly head playing tricks. Can't say I've seen it before. I will obviously retest tomorrow but any clues?
Congrats Christi!
Bluebonnet- I am with you waiting to test. AF is late today, but I am waiting until Saturday to test. AF is notorious for showing up late for me when I don't want her to!
Linz- I am so sorry! Why does AF have to mess with us? FX that it is implantation bleeding!
Nahri- I think you got an error message. I think the test was faulty. Good luck testing tomorrow!
Hope to see more BFP's!

I tested today with a frer. BFN I think....I thought I could almost see something but I think I just wanted it to be there, haha. I will wait two days to test again so I will be 11dpo.
Why oh why can't we just have patience and wait?!!! It would save a lot of stress.
Aw, Rosie. Sorry. I seem to be good at the waiting to test thing. I am soooooo tired of the LE that I kinda don't want to even hope by testing! I looked up on my calendar today and I last tested on 22/9 so I will test again next week I think. I've been watching my CM and CP a bit and haven't noticed anything interesting yet really.
Congratulations Christi!! I hope this is your sticky bean. Keeping my fingers crossed that you get a strong Positive! Fx to you.
Blue I think there is a bug going on. I hope you feel better soon. I know these darn colds can throw you off completely and suck all of your energy. I wish you a speedy recovery!
Nahri,
Try taking another test. I could be a faulty frer. The does not sound normal to me. You should try doing another one if possible from a new box and using fmu. Good Luck, I think it is a good sign though.
Hang in there Rosie,
I still have high hopes for you :):running:
Thanks everyone, I am over the moon happy right now!
Linz, I am so sorry, that really sucks! How many months is this for you?
Nahri, I agree, that seems like a defective test. I don't even understand how it could be white? Wouldn't that just blend into the background which is white anyway? I guess I don't even really understand what you mean by a "white" line.
XX, I know you were on a pretty close cycle as me, so I am eagerly awaiting to hear your results!
Bluebonnet, I am sorry you are sick and hopefully you will feel better soon. That was me last cycle, it was past O, so I wasn't sure if I was preggo, so I didn't want to take anything that would make me feel better, and then in the end, I wasn't preggo. It was frustrating. I think you are right to wait another day before testing again, but for what it is worth, my barely positive on FRER at 11dpo took like 30 minutes to appear, so don't lose faith until AF shows up.
FX for lots more BFP this month!!
Conrats Christi!! That's great news! :)
GL to bluebonnet and XX while you test!
Hang in there weezie, one day that negative will be a positive :)
Rosie- maybe it's too early, you're still in until AF shows!
Linz- I'm sorry she came so early, but at least instead of waiting for AF and taking a bunch of tests you're closer to getting to make more attempts in a new cycle now. :)
Yogi- Yay! Cycle buddies :) so far it's been boring. Cd 7, nothing too exciting going on, you?
Yeah Christi, congrats!
Rosie-- fingers crossed for you! You should for sure get a BFP on a FRER at 11dpo. My line was nice and dark then. I'll be checking for your result.
Good luck to everyone else waiting to test and those waiting to O.
Lol TigerLily,
Nothing special here. Just finishing up my AF which there hardly any of it left. Somewhat crampy just because I added B12, baby aspirin and lots of green tea. I hope this dreadful week flies. I can't wait to get these attempts in and be done. My anxiety is through the roof lol. Woo Hoo so excited to have a buddy. We can panic together lol
Christi- This is not my test because I have been gone all day and that test now reads a faint pos. (PLEASE LET IT BE SO) This is an image I found from another board and this is exactly what mine looked like a perfect white line (9 hours of stored up fmu) but the pee turned the rest of the strip colors. It showed up almost immedately. I have purchased a new box of FRER I have the Clear Blue digitals on standby for the day I need to confirm a pos result. A lot of people say they got their BFP just days after the white line but some also got a BFN.. Lots of cases of this in many other forums. SO I guess it could go either wayAttachment 21274
Id bet it will be a bfp nahri!
I am practically having a panic attack ladies. I am so stressed. Im terrified of being pregnant because I feel like its pointless and will end in miscarriage and I am terrified of not being pregnany because I don't want to wait. Ive always gotten pregnant first try every time so if I dont im scared it means something is wrong with me. Feel like either way is a lose. Ive never had anxiety over this sort of thing. I know the stress is bad for baby if I am pregnant but I just cant help it. Ack. Thanks for letting me vent.
I bet that is going to be a positive nahri... Fx for you!!
Rosie, I am so sorry you have been through so much and sympathize with the anxiety you are feeling now after back to back losses. I wish there was something any of us could say to make you feel better, but my guess is that there are some things that words just can't express. I know someone who had two losses who has gone onto have one healthy pregnancy and is about 16 weeks into her second with no issues. She had fibroids and had to have them removed before she was able to get preggo, so I hope you are working with your doctor to make sure something like that isn't messing with your ability to carry a baby. Hang in there....
As for me, I have thoroughly enjoyed my first day of being pregnant and indulging on lots of non-le diet foods. For lunch I had a Kobe beef burger covered in lobster, truffle ailoi, Brie and bacon.... It was amazing... I could only eat half of it because it was so over the top rich, but omg, it was amazing!

Had a friend just come back from cancer, reverse tubal ligation, almost gave up trying and BAM rainbow baby when they least expected it. I second the working with the doctor if you think you are having fertility issues. My DS was a one shot oopsy and now here I am 2 years later on cycle 5 of trying and so far I got a CP to "show" for it. Sending positive vibes your way and hope you get a BFP that sticks soon!
This is awesome! I think we are going to see many bfps to come. Yey how exciting!
Well ladies, tonight marks CD1 for me. I am having a hard time. 😢
Moving on to cycle #4. Hopefully 4 is still my lucky number. GL to those waiting to test!

Hang in there xx!
You will be in the October thread in just two week. Good luck and I hope you get your bfp soon :)
Sorry xx �� Fingers crossed cycle 4 is it for you!
Rosie, what you're feeling is both natural and logical! I guess just try to accept that's how you're feeling and trust in life. Remember that the LE affects your chemistry hugely, that's why we're doing it after all, but it is therefore going to also affect your fertility. Good luck. Keep your chin up x
Sorry to hear that xx. Bring on lucky cycle number #4.
Rosie. I can understand your fear and anxiety. I had a m/c between DD#1 and DD#2, when DD#1 was 3 months old. I was so terrified it was going to happen again when I did fall pregnant again, I didn't have it confirmed at the doctors till I was about 15 weeks along :( Huge :hugs:
Afm, 4 dpo. We're going away for the weekend with Miss 4, my eldest two are staying with their father for the school holidays. It should be a good weekend away. A long drive though, nearly four hours away. It will be nice to have a break from work. It will also bee good to give my 4wd a good run as it hasn't been for a long drive yet.
Ive resorted to negative imaging on my peesticks to look for the glow.. This white line nonsense really got to me. It does glow but cant consider it valid because it was too long after.
I'm out officially. See you in 2 weeks! Good news is Chinese calendar says girl for oct for me and I will be able to test before Halloween!

Sorry to hear that Linz. Good luck next cycle :D
So sorry to hear it xxforhubby! I can relate...I'm heading into cycle EIGHT of ttc. It sucks. I have 5 kids and they were all one cycle of ttc except the last one was 2 cycles. So I'm going nuts. Starting to wonder if there is something wrong with me.....
So sorry to hear XX and Linz....:sad:
I want to put this question out to anyone who has been "swaying" for more than one cycle, are you doing anything differently from cycle to cycle? For me, I did the most ridiculously aggressive sway for our first cycle, BFN. The next cycle I backed off on the use of repHresh and Sylk (i.e. I used less), but still BFN. The third cycle, I dropped them entirely, and BFP. Yay! Is this what others are doing (not necessarily specifically repHresh/sylk, but the strategy of dropping things). Just curious about what others are doing....
Nahri, I'd be a bit crazy too. Did you get a second "white" result?
Fivebabies, I don't think there is anything is wrong with you. If you are swaying for a girl (which is my assumption), you are doing lots to try to reduce your chances of conception. You probably just have one or two things that are just a little too much. I don't know what your swaying tactics are, but I couldn't get pregnant with the use of any jellies. Atomic was the same way, which is why she advised me to drop it. If you are using those, i would consider dropping them.

I did get sad after every bfn because I had signs of being prego but I think stopping the cranberry pills at O may have messed up something and caused the egg to not stay attached. When I finally got prego it was after giving up everything and enjoying the typical Christmas feast. I had planned to give up and sell all baby stuff and then DH decided he didn't want to stop so we pretty much did a half ass try with a few supps we had left and added soy and got preg right away with DS3.
I'm actually not swaying at all. :worry: I don't care what gender comes next. The only thing that I could even consider a sway technique is FR...we dtd a LOT! lol
Fivebabies I'm with you! I'm not swaying just FX for my BFP. I want a baby now!!! :baby2:
Purplepoet what days did you take soy and how much did you take? how many cycles did you try it?
XX and Linz hang in there girls! I think towards the end of October we're all going to see a lot of BFP's :)
I have such a good feeling about this month. I'm very relaxed and just excited, I'm looking forward to Halloween as well.
Yogi today's cd 8... we BD early this morning. I also take baby aspirin, not b6 though. What is the green tea and b6 supposed to help with?
Realised this morning that my BMI has got down to 18 now so had a couple of DH's chocolate cookies after my veggie stir fry tonight! :) Still no PG or O symptoms for me so I've not bothered testing. Maybe next week if still no AF.
Thanks ladies! I am doing better now, mentally. The diet, I am on the PCOS version, has really changed my cycle drastically. I am still nursing my 16mo old 4-6x a day still. At first we did no supp., then cycle 2 we did Vitex AF-O. That messed me up! Last cycle, 3, I got very sick before and after o. I think that dropped my condition too low. Besides fiber and folic acid, I take myo-inositol and a choline supp. I have to take these even when not swaying for other health reasons.
For cycle 4, we are dropping the Sylk, even though we only use a little for lube. Last time we did bd every four days instead of at pos. opk, but our attempt ended up the night before my pos. opk. I think that timing along with being sick caused a BFN.
We are still going to do bd every 4 days and see if that works again. 4 is my lucky number, so hopefully it won't fail me now! 😃

Hangs in there linzshine! You will join us in a few.
TigerLily I am taking b12 because i read somewhat it helps prevent miscarriage. The green tea for more CM. :)
Oh ok, that's good. Is anyone doing anything exciting this weekend?
