Yuzu and Lola: Sorry :( , like swish said, it isn't over until AF comes....it is just easier to just get into the "October" mind set , though.
Ladybug: Congrats on your digi test!!! Was your other tests as light as mine? I am trying to figure how long I need to wait to do a digi test....that is how I would like to tell DH....it is killing me to not tell him yet though.
Thanks for all the congrats....I don't think I am going to breathe a sigh of relief until it is darker though.
Congrats ladybug!! and WP...hope ur next and ur digi is +ve tom! x
WP, I agree it's a great way to tell DH and I was thinking I might buy one when I get BFP (even though I have a drawer full of non-digi tests!) so I don't have to find the words to break it to DH (he always has a few moments of terror before he get to the happy part!). I really hope you get to do it tomorrow!
I think I'm going to fail miserably in waiting until cd12 to test since I've already done one ... and I'm only on cd6 and I don't think it's biologically possible to get a BFP yet!! This has to be the slowest 2 weeks (1 week even!) of my life - I'm sure I've never been like this in my 2wws before!
Been stalking the thread ladies! :bigsmile:
YAY on the BFP's ladies!! More May babies! :celebrate:
And everyone is right you are not out until AF shows!!
I thought I was out too....and I wasn't!! Hang in there girls!! :heart:

I would wait a couple more days. I tried a digital when my line was like that and it said not pregnant. Congrats again!!!
Yuzu and Lola - did AF arrive for you both? {hugs}
Washington - is that line getting darker? I got some digi tests today as they were on special offer in the supermarket and I happened not to have any of my bigger little people with me to ask what they were!!
Who else is here? I'm sorry to whoever I missed - I'm so distracted ... I put the salami (not mine I hasten to add!) away in the kitchen drawer this morning. Luckily I realised a couple of moments later what I'd done!!
I swing between feeling pregnant and thinking I'm completely insane! The cramping has pretty much stopped but now I have a weird feeling in my tummy, kind of full and fluttery. If I was 18 weeks pregnant this is what it would feel like when the baby moved! I'm already on to daily testing - damn those internet cheapies!!
PS - how do you all feel about DTD in the 2ww? It's never worried me before in the slightest but I really feel like I don't want to disturb things 'down there' if there's a bean trying to make a home in my tummy. I guess we've invested more in our attempt this time than we did with the boys and whilst I know I carry my boys very easily, I feel like if I get pregnant with a girl it's a bit more uncertain - silly I'm sure but there you go!
zanacal: If I had cheap tests I would be doing the same thing. I am going to wait and retest in the morning...24hrs from now. I don't have any tests, so I am running to the store today.....wish the digis were sensitive too. I am going to pick up some of each :)
As far as BDing, I think the little beans are pretty strong once they get dug in there, but I was cramping last night, so I decided to wait. I felt like my body was trying to tell me something, I didn't BD last night and only did half of my weights/sit-ups.
Off to feed the chickens and get 6 children ready for the store.....
Congrats Washington!!! Sorry Yuzu and Lola...I so know how you feel. AF finally showed today, I really do not know what happened this cycle but it does'nt really matter. Hopefully I will back here in 13 days but with how last cycle went...who knows! At least I will watch things better this time and be prepared! LOL
Godd luck ladies! Good luck Zan!!!
{hugs} Emmy x
AF hasn't arrived yet, but it certainly feels like she's right outside the door! I am having the world's weirdest day. All this has happened:Quote:
Yuzu and Lola - did AF arrive for you both? {hugs}
1. One of my dearest friends was rushed to ICU because her ovary burst.
2. Another not-so-close friend called with the sex of her baby--girl, of course.
3. My sil called and said she's been diagnosed with dangerously high blood pressure.
4. Had an argument with my husband. That almost never happens.
5. I thought I had a FRER, but I can't find one. So I guess I'll have to go get one. But I keep hoping AF will show up and save me the trip to the store.
I wonder what else will happen today?
Crikey - what a day! I really hope it ends in happy news for you :D
I just jumped up to answer the telephone and felt so sick. I hate feeling sick - and luckily I never had any morning sickness with my boys - which probably means this isn't a pregnancy symptom at all! Hunger?!!
You know, they say every pregnancy is different! Maybe this is a sign? :omg:
Thanks everyone!
Nice to see all the BFP's can't wait to see more... including mine :pray:
I just noticed my IC tests are for 10miu - that's good right?! My digis are 25miu.
I can't wait to see your BFP either purple!
I hope so Yuzu and I still have my fingers crossed for you x
FWIW Zan I never got early sickness with my pg's either, but THIS one I felt nauseated at 5 dpo for several days ... FX for you!!!!Quote:

Maybe the more pregnancies you have and the older you get the more it affects you! I know for sure it's nothing to do with the sex of the baby - so neither of us need worry about that! I need to worry about getting a BFP first :D
Emmy, sorry hun. Weird cycle indeed! I hope this next one bring you better luck.
Yuzu, jeez! What a day! I am sorry to hear that, and I think you need to have a glass of wine tonight or something!
Zan, you are so funny with the 6dpo testing.....and hey, lots of ladies feel pg right away, so you never know!!! FX!
Purple, you know we are all pulling for ya like crazy for this next month. HUGS
As for me....still no AF.....could be the progesterone prolonging it, but I've cut it down to half the dose (just in case). I will get AF even if on it, though. And my temp was a bit up today? I may test again in the morning if I don't have my period by then.
Oh, and WP and whoever else asked about bding in the 2ww.....it is fine unless you are having like hanging from the ceiling sex.....I asked my doc because of my m/c. She told me just to take it easy and let the DH do all the work. Although, WP is right, the bean is pretty snug in there and protected. Heck, I did an hour of elliptical every day when I was in the 2ww with my DD2 (wasn't trying), and she stuck in there just fine! I also drank a couple of glasses of wine a night. Ooops.
Oh my giddy Aunt Lola - no AF? When is/was it due? I really hope both you and Yuzu get lucky this month. Thanks for the advice on BDing - it was me asking!
Now I have heartburn - it's laughable, I'm like a human version of a list of early pregnancy symptoms. Perhaps I have all these symptoms all the time but never take note of them. I almost hesitate to repeat them on here because it sounds ridiculous!!
LOL Zan, I am loving reading about all of your symptoms! Good signs!!! I should have started AF today, but may start tomorrow....don't want to get my hopes up, but feel like it would have come by now. Not gonna start counting my chickens yet though....
I just read your posts on the ttc boy thread lola - I'm hanging on to that sliver with you ok?
THANK YOU! :bighug:Quote:

I bought some FRER and digis today and am going to retest in the morning. They were out of the 2 pack of digis and only had the 5 pack. That was the whole reason I went to the store!!! So, I got the 5 pack. I guess I will just pee on one every 2 days OR send them to LOLA!!! I did not have the luxury of not having any little people with me, so we had a talk before we left....that's all I need to one of my loud children asking what I am buying.....like we don't draw enough attention just going out in public (I just told them I test every month just to make sure and I was out....and to please not ask any questions, like "did you pass your test Mom"...they are all so cute) You would think I had 20 children with the "wow you guys have been busy comments". Mostly we get compliments and congrats, but still I don't like attention from strangers. ANYWAY.... I have too many test again.
Thanks for the thoughts everyone; I really appreciate it. And I'm already nursing that glass of wine, Lola!:rofl:
Strangely enough, I haven't gotten AF either. Hmmm. I really feel like it's about to start any minute, but so far, nothing. I guess maybe tonight, but if not I'll take one of the cheapo tests in the morning and see what it says. I never did find that missing FRER but I have a Clearblue Easy under the sink. I guess I could try that.
I will be testing Wednesday sept 15th(or is that the 14th? Lol) anyway it will be 9dpo which is when it normally reads for me(really faint line) anyways its so close but forever away lol
I tested with a FRER this morning and it was +, but not any darker. I also did my digi and got a "not preg"....I am a little worried. I am 14dpo now, I last tested at 12dpo. What do you guys think?
I def. feel pregnant....nausea has set in at night before bed. I still have not told DH, because I wanted ti surprise him with the digi....I have no idea what to do.
Washington - I was reading online yesterday (I think it was peeonastick.com or something!) that an HPT tests for the presence of HCG and a lighter line or a darker line doesn't necessarily mean anything - a line of any sort simply means that HCG is there. Do you know what the sensitivity of your FRER is compared to the digi? I'd make good use of that pack of 5 and keep testing every day ... and you have symptoms which is a great sign! GL!
XX - I so know what you mean about it being so close but forever away! FX for you!
Yuzu - still crossing my fingers for you too. It's a funny thought that we all have these pregnancy tests hidden all over the house - go and retrieve that one from under the sink!!
Fivebabies - yes, that's the weight I've lost on Atomic's Low Everything girl diet since the beginning of June :D
AFM - I've felt sick as a dog all day today. I've also had some weird AF type cramping and a burning sensation a couple of times 'down below'. I took an HPT at 5am this morning (that's when I needed to wee!) which was a BFN but I felt so awful I came home from work and did another - also a BFN - and now I only have one left! So I'll use that tomorrow and then I'll be on to my less sensitive bunch of tests. I'm worried about the cramping and the burning, I hope if I have a bean in there that he/she decides to stay!
WP, don't fret yet, the FRERs are more sensitive than the digis, and you are still so early, so it's probably just a hair shy of enough hcg to give you the magic P word. I'm with the others, just keep testing and DO NOT get worried about it yet! I LOL at your commentary about the kids at the store, that is so cute! I love when I see big families, I would have a bunch of kids if I could.
Hey Zan, the burning/cramping is a good sign! That's what I get around 8dpo-ish when implanting is going on (when pg). FX!!!!
Yuzu, no AF yet, eh? I am in the same boat....15dpo, no AF, bfn. Again, it's probably because of the progesterone I'm taking just delaying AF, but still. Go get a FRER and test in the morning!
Thank you, that's promising then! I've rarely had any pregnancy symptoms in the past (except a massive carriage!!) so this is all new to me. I remember feeling vaguely nauseous and a little crampy in the 2ww with DS3 but that's about it. I've been very lucky so far!Quote:

Ah thanks again....well still no AF, so just in limbo. Still a small small sliver of hope!
Thanks for all the responds guys, I just don't know why so many people get progressively darker tests and am getting the same squinters. I would feel fine about the digi, IF my FRER test got darker :( I am kind of scared to tell DH, he has a hard time with losses, but if I don't he will be really upset with me.
Lola: I checked your chart twice this morning, just to make sure you didn't sneak in a BFP on us :). Is DH getting is SA today?
Zan: You sound awefully promising!!! Glad I have someone else to stalk. Does you DH know your a POAS addict?
WP, just hang in there and keep testing. Try to be as zen about it as you can. I'd hold off on telling Dh if he has a hard time with the losses, I agree with you on that one. I only noticed my FRERs get darker like a week after the first one, so don't fret yet.
LOL, I would be singing from the mountaintops if I got a bfp lady, don't you worry about any sneaking!
:rofl: I'm not sure! Last night when I went to bed I took something out of my drawer (he knows it's where I keep all my swaying stuff!) and he asked what it was and tutted when I told him. If I'm going to POAS at 5am I need it to be sitting by the toilet so it's easy to locate! He doesn't see any need for pregnancy tests. As far as he's concerned we'll know soon enough because if I'm pregnant I'll miss my period - how I wish I was that patient!!Quote:

See you all monday the 19th... waiting I hope for the last time!
Purplepoet: I think you diserve the meatballs after all the you have been threw.
Lola: Thanks for the encouragement. I have to go get more tests now, I used all my FRER hoping they would get darker....what a pain. I think I had way more fun having 5 out of the 6 children be surprise pregnancies.
Zan: I DO THE SAME THING!!! I had my FRER and digi unwrapped (but hidden from DH) just waiting for the morning. I have a bag full of wrappers and tests.....DH would have a cow "how much do each of these tests cost....you might as well have just soiled on some money!!!" He would much rather just miss a period and then know that we are preggers....men really are a different breed.
