Nacire: thank you! I'm not so excited anymore as I'm starting to doubt my test. I guess that's normal, but as I said, ive never tested this early (or even before my period was due) so I'm not used to seeing what I got today, I'm used to dark, unmistakable positives. Fx I see something in the morning. I will be 9dpo! :)
I wouldn't give up on your positive yet. As others have said, maybe it was due to implantation and now you just gotta give it some time to build up? Fx for you, lovely lady!
Max: thank you! But also everything I wrote to naci.. I have 3 clear blue tests left (25mIU) and 2 first response tests (6.3mIU). I'm going to take one of the first response tests first thing in the morning. I definitely see your lines! Very clear! And I think you should stop worrying because I'm totally convinced this is it for you, and that you have a late implanter on your hands. I'm gonna go ahead and say congratulations! Keep sharing your tests please! :) looks like we both got some due in the morning.
:heart:
TtcBlue18 - Stop doubting and be excited and happy as I am for you :) I never tested this early either. I’m always the person who knows they’re preggo but even missed af it’s negative till a week later.. Please feel blessed!! I feel so done with the positive and I think I won’t test till next week :( I haven’t gave up but all these negatives since makes me kind of sad :( I’m so excited for your BFP tomorrow girlfriend :)
Lola - Yes 3 week holiday starts Friday afternoon! Yippeee!
TTCBlue - Yay for a line, I can see it on the normal one. Can't wait to see the next test.
Maxim - Wohooo! That's a great line. Hope it gets darker, congrats!!! Bring on the next test.
Nacire - Your chart looks great and crosshairs look plausible to me!
Ash - How long until you find out the sex? Next scan?
AFM - still waiting for O and missing Pbn3 xo
Sorry for MIA, had DD2 at home today still due to this termite issue..they're closing the whole centre next week so the girls will have to go to another one, in the cbd so will commute with them all week on train, they'll see it as an adventure wi see it as hell in peak hours gah lol
Congrats all, looks like there another lot of Bub's cooking away!!! :cheerteam::running::pregnant:
So happy for you! ;)
Max that line is defffff there so hoping you can get some comfort that it is happening soon!
Ttc, see it too, can't wait for your morning FR test!
Nacire waiting with you hon !!!
Pbn, thinking of you, hope all is well..come back soon and please if you need want please PM me. Biiiig hugs we'll miss y'a! :hug2:
Hugs to all!
ASF, spotting still, big drop in temp..af tomorrow finally I think..I just want closure on all the hopes I had for this cycle and move on...
Good morning! LMSM, I think we are cycle buddies...my temp also went down and the test this morning is still drying, but definitely doesn't have a stronger line. Come on AF and clomid!!!
For those of you that took clomid, did changing from cd5-9 to cd3-7 help conceive? I'm confused as to what changes over those two days in taking the med.

The one I took this morning is negative, at 9dpo. But I'm supposed to have af on the 26th (miscalculated before) so I don't have too long to wait.. My cycles are down to 25 days. I typed in all my info on an implantation doubling simulator and it has me landing on Saturday for my first positive, everything before Saturday it says there won't be enough to test. So I'm still hopeful. :) I May not test again for a while because I only have 1 first response left and I don't want to waste it.. The clear blue are not as sensitive so there's no point is using one of those until after the first response.
You really think there is no pregnancy there Max? I can't help but be hopeful still for you, that line on the osom was quite clear! :(Quote:

For Clomid, I think early intake = possibly more quantity ( i.e you "recruit" more potential eggs to help them mature) vs later intake= better quality, so you only recruit ( ie stimulate) the already naturally better ones...I think??? Lol I had cd3-5 protocol so can't really advise..maybe the ladies following one or the other ATM can clarify :)
I hope it was just too early.. and honestly early tests can be so hard to read as lines can be difficult to truly see ;)you seem to have a lot of positive symptoms so fx!!Quote:

Max- I started taking Clomid 3-7, then 2-6, and then 1-5. My first cycle I didn't respond well to it and was told it could take a cycle before it worked. My RE wanted me to take it earlier and earlier because the Clomid wasn't moving my O date up. I was having SUPER long cycles with delayed O. After my first Clomid cycle, I began to O before CD20. My second cycle I only produced one egg and my third cycle I had many with one very healthy egg. I got pregnant the cycle after my last Clomid one, and we believe it did cause my eggs to mature better than without having taken it.

Max-I'm still hopeful too! The OSOM takes several minutes longer to develop so I hope that you just took a quick glance & will be pleasantly surprised when you look at it again!!
Iwant4-yay how exciting for 3 weeks off!! Enjoy your time! Hope the relaxation will bring on O and you can get to baby making lol.
Ttc-hopeful for you! [emoji1374]
LMSM-Hope things move along quickly & get you to the next cycle if this isn't the one!
Thanks xx! The RE said she wants me to do 5-9, but would you do 3-7?
Here is the test dry, it actually looks lighter. [emoji22] Why does that keep happening?

Sorry Max-there's clearly a line, so don't know what's going on there?! Any signs of AF? Due today right? You're still above coverline.
Having some cramping, but nothing major. I just called RE to see what they think...

Max-hope this gives you some answers!!!! Keep us posted!!!!
Oh Max ((HUGS)) I am so so sorry to see this. I was so hopeful for you. I have heard that with Clomid, it is taken the earlier days for more eggs, but later for better quality and a stronger O. I am praying for you for this Clomid cycle! Hang in there!!!
Ash, I didn't even take a picture this morning because there wasnt even anything to squint at lol. I'll wait 2 days and take my last first response on Saturday with fmu. :) The dizziness only hit me for 2 days, it was gone the day following the pink spotting. I read online a lot of women experience dizziness about a week after o that can be associated with implantation. Unfortunately I found nothing about whether or not the dizziness usually subsides after implantation or not. I'm going to try not to get my hopes up because the more I convince myself this is it, the more I slack on he diet. I would hate to blow all my progress just to find out that I've m not conceived.
Max, I'm so sorry. It must be terrible to see lines that won't darken and be left to wonder. I hate this for you. I hope the clomid will help you like it does for so many others. I think I would maybe start waiting to miss af before testing, as not to get false hopes and avoid the heartache.. that's just my own personal view, I dont want you to feel like I'm telling you what to do or anything. I just hate seeing you go through this. How many times has this happened? I'm still praying af does not arrive for you! Sending you :heart: :heart: :heart: !
I found this neat calculator that tells you what day you can get a positive hpt based on all your personal cycle info. I guess every pregnancy starts of at a different level of hcg at implantation, and there's no way to know what yours might be. That makes a big difference when it comes to the rate that it doubles.. and if you have one little piece of info wrong in the calculator (like o day) that sets it off too. But I just thought this was so neat and seeing it all laid out like this really helps me to understand why early testing can't usually detect the pregnancy.. Just thought I'd leave the link incase anyone wants to try it. :)

Thank you guys, appreciate your thoughtful comments! I spoke with my RE and she wants me to come in for labs as well as an u/s after I O next cycle to measure my lining. She said that could be part of the problem - possibly having an egg fertilize, but the lining is too thin to fully implant (?). She also wants me to take femera instead of clomid in case there is an issue with my lining. I think this equally sways pink, so that's good. I feel good knowing that I'll have some more testing and have a medicated cycle, but I can't help but be upset that this is happening again. And now my girls will be 6 & 8 when/if a baby is born. This month would have been a 7 year age gap instead of 8. I know that's meaningless, but I already feel it's a huge gap and the whole process is messing with me a bit.
TTC, sorry about the negative. I might hold off as well next cycle until 14dpo...
Max-so glad you're going in to your RE next cycle, but sorry you're going through this! I'm excited that she's recommending femera for you instead! This is what I was hoping my OB would prescribe-it has less side effects & sways pink too! Although multiples are possible, there is less of a chance!! Don't worry about the age gap, your daughters will be the perfect mommy's helpers!! This is going to sound silly, but I always wanted twins, but since I have 2 close in age & one more on the way...I say, at least I won't have an empty nest with kiddos leaving at the same time after high school haha! You won't have an empty nest right away (some parents get excited lol, but I'll be sad) ��
That's good news, Max! I bet this will make the difference for you. Fx!
Lola, that's me..I will be so sad when all my babies leave me within a few years of each other. :(
Lola, thank you....that is such a good point! Especially now with my little one graduating preschool, I would so love to do that again but have a lot of time in between then. Love your frame of reference for things! Thank you...
Ttc, I'm sooo the same way! I think I'll always need some type of baby at home. I'll have to get a bunch of dogs when the kids are all out of the house. [emoji23]
Want to see something that just breaks my heart??? This is my husbands text to me this afternoon. I don't think you're supposed to tell people your birthday wish, but nonetheless, I love him for it!

Awww max how super sweet. Have you told him about the tests? I'm sure it's not easy for a man to understand I think they either believe your pregnant or not. No in between. Glad you'll be getting lining checked again hopefully this is the problem. Can they give you meds to make it thicker?

Max - I just had tears in my eyes reading that text. I m really sorry my dear. I m yet to read the previous posts but couldn't stop posting after reading the last msg. I m sure your dh's wish will come true very very soon. You two have a beautiful relationship. That's the most important thing. Bfp is just a matter of time. And Femera will make it even quicker. Fx so tight for you. Hugs.

Thanks sky...I'm seriously SO blessed to have found him, he's the best partner that I could ever hope for. It's really funny because he's this big muscular guy and a super tough lawyer...but he's honestly the most gentle thing ever at home, it's funny to me! I appreciate your kind words!
Ash, thanks...no, I didn't even tell him yet. He is out of town and I don't think he would even understand how to interpret those tests. I told him I got a negative test, then he asked if I had gotten my period, I said no, then he sent that message. He's more hopeful than me! ;)
Sorry no time this am, just sending big bear hugs to you Max!
Af arrived in the wee hours of the morning..new cycle here we come, I think it could still be a march dd lol
Will be back later :)
Max-that is the sweetest text & it WILL come true! You sound like the sweetest couple too! Getting dogs when kids are out of the house-love it! 🤣 They are family members! We always say our dog was our first baby lol. So on another note, from my research when I was trying to decide on Clomid vs. Femara, I remember reading that Clomid thins the uterine lining, so if you're having issues with that, Femara will be so much better in that regard!!! I asked Atomic about the two in a thread several cycles ago & she recommended Femara! I'm so excited for your upcoming cycle!!! I believe this is going to be just what you need & you'll have your beautiful baby in your arm [emoji173](and you sure make beautiful babies!!).
LMSM-I'm sorry that AF is here, but so glad you are able to move forward!! Pbn was so awesome to add March to the ddg, so can't wait for this upcoming cycle for you, Max and the others to join!! [emoji173]
Mummy are you testing tomorrow? Did you test today??

Max - I second what Lolla said.
LMSM - That's more like it. New cycle here we come. I hope all of us can be in the same dd group without worrying about the month. We have to be together. [emoji4] Will wait for Pbn to work out a way. [emoji4]LMSM [emoji1317][emoji1317][emoji1317] don't forget what we talked about. Big O each time. We will be cheering you on.
Pbn - We miss you so so so much. Come back soon.
Nacire - How are you?Your temp is high. Did U do another test? Did ur crosshairs change? I m sorry I missed the previous posts.
Mommy2apples- I see you are started opks. Hope you get a pos soon. Going great. Fx so tight for a bfp.
Ttc blue - Sorry about the neg test boooo. Hope the frer comes out blaring positive. How long are you going to wait before POAS again?
Iwant4kids- Good luck for this cycle. Come on O. Fx.

Ashfind - Thank you! I’ve been staring at my chart all day it seems. I thought it was a fluke lol I took my temp a few times to make sure I wasn’t seeing things.
Skyblue - Hi! I’m doing pretty good :) Thanks for asking! My temp is high. I’ve never ever had a temp in the past this high. I hope it’s a good thing :) I’ve tested every single morning and think I never ovulated when I think I did. I pulled the old positive test and FF said I ovulated on the 16th which does makes sense :) I’m acting like I’m 6dpo instead of 12dpo.. Only time will tell if af decides to show up.
Thanks Sky! Waiting for one! Lol
