I'm not sure exactly what they are Sumbal but your gp or ob will order them. There's quite a number of things they test for. The only bloods I'm getting done atm is the hcg quantitative 48hr test then I'll wait to get the primary pregnancy bw when I go back for 7w scan referral.

Thanks Pbn im not sure i see it 😑 <--- thats my eyes atm, line eyes lol.
I did pull it apart can't see anything. I don't think this will pan out how i want it to so i hope for closure soon one way or another. I likely won't test til Thursday as I can use fmu if af hasn't arrived. Af cramps are still around and spotting is light pink not a flow though. If no answers by the end of the week, ill head to the drs next week for bloods and us referral
Fx very tightly for you tmro

Wow sunbal did you O on CD9??
Pbn, I know... [emoji51] honestly, my charts are strange so I really try to not put too much stock in them. Both pregnancies my temps were down and all over the place.

Pbn, just my 2 cents for what it is worth is to at least get progesterone tested? I had 3 healthy uneventful pregnancies but then had 3 losses at 6, 10, and 12 weeks. My progesterone was tested at the beginning and great so they never tested further. With my youngest DS though i insisted on checking weekly and it turns out it really started to drop after 7 weeks and i needed the suppositories. I really think it helped me finally hang on to a pregnancy. Definitely cant hurt to check it. Best of luck!
Congrats sumbal!
Max your temps are looking great I cant believe your already 4dpo!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looking good Max! Fx that you continue this BFP streak!! Are you next up to test??
Netti-sure wish we could figure out our answers soon-frustrating isn't it??
Well my temps have dropped a little, so I may actually have my answers soon-I predict tomorrow! No cramps & not irritable, but breaking out & lines aren't any darker...in fact sometimes I think I'm just seeing things! I will be surprised if AF doesn't show tomorrow.
I think I see the faintest lines on these tests, then I think maybe not...and at this point, I feel like they should be unmistakable ugh!

I see it on all of them Lola! So frustrating [emoji53]

Lola- how confusing! There's definitely a line on all of them! Weird. Hope you get some answers soon.
Netti- Sorry you are out this time. Hope you can convince DH. I'm working in mine at the moment [emoji23]
Sumbal- congrats! Can't believe how many bfps there have been! Fingers crossed a few more of us join this cycle.
maxim- temps look great! Fingers crossed 🤞

I know Ash ugh! I just called my OB office to see if they could get me in this week. I feel like if they could see me now, I could get my answers as far as bw & start meds if needed. By next week, AF will prob be here & too late to try meds. Those that take Femara or Clomid, it's taken usually CD 3-7 right?

Augh lola, I see it on all of them!! :( Hoping that they can get you in this week. I researched a bit about Femera vs. Clomid and it seems that Femera is the way to go... Fingers crossed, please keep us posted!
I can't believe I'm 4dpo either, so crazy!! Question for you ladies... This coming Friday is my best friend's 35th birthday and I planned many months ago on to take her out for a special day. We are going for mani/pedi, massages, dinner with friends, and then I got a hotel for several of us to stay overnight in the city and do a slumber party (what she wanted lol). My question is...I know that they'll be drinking all day and it will be too early for me to test and know for sure if I'm pregnant or not. How would you handle it? She knows we are ttc, but the other girls don't and I really don't want to share too much with them as I don't want it to get back to my mother in law and sister in law, who they are all connected to. Thoughts?
Tough one maybe you could be the dd?

Lola i see lines on all of them.
I know what you mean though in that they should be darker.
It seems i got my answers and af is here tonight finally. Ill get my bbt cracking to help pinpoint O a little easier.
Now I just have the task of convincing DH again 😅 best of luck with yours mummy2boys

I wish I could be DD....we are going out in NYC and taking taxi's. No one drives in this crazy town! ;)
Sorry Netti. I temped vaginally this cycle, previously only orally. I highly recommend it if you're going to be temping this coming cycle. Good luck hon!
Good point lol I have heard that! Is wine girl or boy sway I forget? I'm sure a glass or two wouldn't hurt but maybe if they all drink enough they just won't notice you haven't [emoji23]

@maximbella - according to LE diet drinking hard alcohol and white wine is more girl friendly than red wine which is higher in nutrients like potassium. That said, I drank red wine during the 2ww because it's easy and what I enjoy the most.
Also, when I was pg with DS2 I craved red wine so I researched it. All the studies of drinking while pregnant are referencing getting fully inebriated and involve hard alcohol. There are many studies that have been done specifically on the effects of red wine and positive brain development. That was enough for me and so I indulged in a half glass of red wine a couple times a week. Now I don't know if this contributed, but my DS2 is so smart and quick witted. So it obviously didn't hurt!
My advice is to drink something like red wine that is actually healthy and stick to a 2-3 glasses, switching between water and take your sweet time drinking it. I doubt anyone will notice. Good luck!

^^ that was the original idea but that was only a guess. We have subsequently found that things like calories, protein, and fat, and highly fortified foods like cereal, are the heavy hitters with swaying and things like a little extra difference in nutrients between red and white wine really don't matter. I keep it in the diet JIC but we have not found it to make a true difference and lots of people got girls drinking red wine. :)
4DPO is not supposed to be associated with causing issues because the baby is not implanted.
There are other things you can say, though. Sometimes people have to give up drinking because they find it causes them to have bad headaches and stomach upset (ME LOL) even just a drink or two makes me violently ill now. so I'd probably say you've found that drinking gives you a migraine or something like that.
@atomic that makes me feel even better about my sway then! Red wine was all I really drank when trying to conceive this time. Thank you!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thank you both, so reassuring to hear that!! I've also been drinking red wine the entire time not thinking about the nutrients....so glad to hear that the difference between the two are nil.
This would be on Friday and I would be 8dpo...still okay to have a glass or two right?!
@maximbella I had wine at 8 and 9 dpo this cycle. Got my BFP on 10dpo. Today I'm 12DPO and here's my test this morning. Still getting darker. Actually on hold w/the doc right now for bw!

Hello Ladies.
Lolla - I see clear lines on all your tests and I can totally imagine your frustration right now. I really hope that u can go see the OB and get some answers. Hang in there dear. [emoji847]
Netti - Booo af. I hope dh gets onboard and u get ur bfp soon. I also started temping from the last cycle and it made so much sense. I would suggest u give vaginal testing a try.
Pbn - How are u feeling? Please keep
us posted about the bw results and I have a strong feeling that it's going be all good. Hugs.
Max - Fx for a bfp this weekend. Enjoy ur wine and girls night. Sounds like a lot of fun.
Dreaming. - Yay the line is getting darker. When r u seeing ur OB? Keep us posted. U did mention getting bw done. Right?
Ash - How are u doing?
I m waiting for af to say goodbye soon and then will get back to
business. [emoji12]
@skyblue I'm so excited for you this month... FX for you!
I am going for first bw this morning and then again on Wednesday to check progression. Provided everything is good with my levels, I'll then go for my first ultrasound at 6 weeks. I scheduled that this morning and it's May 22nd. Hoping so hard that everything is good.

Sorry Netti! I'm glad you have your answers & you can have more time for your sway though...fx you can get DH on board in July!!
Max-I had 1 frozen screwdriver before I knew I was pregnant with DS1. I believe it was early in the 2WW and I wasn't really following the calendar so closely. He's super smart & has an awesome memory :) It sounds like a glass or 2 of wine won't hurt in your 2WW. And like others mentioned...maybe you could sip your drink & no one will notice! Or if you can sneak over to buy the drinks alone...order a vodka water minus the vodka lol.
Mummy-what's new with you??
AFM, couldn't get an earlier appt wahhh. My OB is already double booked. Well if AF is just delayed, then it can delay a few more days so I can maybe get meds in time. Sumbal, I would love for this to mean I'm preggo, but the lines are not looking good.
Only 1 more frer to use tomorr AM & think I'm out of wondfos after testing twice a day. Just b/c my face is breaking out today, I feel like tomorrow will be the day...

I'm a bit jealous dreamingella my first appointment and scan won't be until June 16 sooooo far away!
Lola bbs are sore but other than that nothing! Little worrisome but just taking it day by day. I thought about trying to call back and get my first appointment a week earlier but it really won't matter the more I think of it if something bad is to happen it will. And if I wait until 9w4d I'll have a pretty good picture of baby

@ashfind maybe ask for betas to put your mind at ease?
I will tell you that I have almost no symptoms right now other than feeling like my stomach is perpetually empty. It's a borderline nauseas hungry feeling but I'm not really hungry. My BBs aren't even sore. Maybe just a little heavier feeling and warm.

@dreamingella lol dh says it's a waste of money [emoji23][emoji23] he is a tight wad!!! He says what will happen will happen it's out of our hands. I've never had any issues with low progesterone, one miscarriage, and all other 4 have been normal pregnancies so I'm just taking it day by day and enjoying every minute of this last pregnancy

My group of dr.s are really laid back also and don't order any unnecessary tests so I'm really worried about not being able to get the blood gender early on. I know another dr who does it but I love mine and don't want to switch just for that. But I might have to beg them to order me one!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks for putting my mind at ease ladies!
So when do you find out gender these days?? When I was pregnant with DD2, we had to wait until my 13 week scan. Is that not the case anymore??
