Would love to see picture #2. Can't wait!!

Yay, my friend that just got her BFP last week, came over today and I showed her my two tests and she says she sees the line 100% (no evap line) on both tests! She also has an extra test she is going to bring over to me tonight so I can use it in the morning (different brand, so that will be good) I'm also gonna buy a ton at the dollar store! Ladies my cautious excitement is turning into real excitement, I hope it isn't premature!!! I can't wait until it shows up better for you ladies to see it!
I just Took a OPK just to have something to do LOL I know I know, I'm becoming a POAS crazed woman! My OPK is nearly positive too! I took an OPK yesterday for the fun of it, and it was half as dark as it is today. I heard sometimes this can happen when you are pregnant. I truly hope these lines are darker tomorrow!
So so happy for you Thorz! Congrats on starting off the BFP parade! Can't wait to see a nice dark line :-)
Woohoo!
SO happy to see this news Thorz!!! I really think it was meant to be that you got it the same month as your close friend. My best friend and I had babies 2 weeks apart and it was such a wonderful experience to go through our pregnancy together. Our two boys are still best friends 7 years later :). Prayers for a sticky bean!!
11DPO today and BFN again for me this morning...still spotting...wishing it would just go ahead and turn into AF already so I can stop second guessing it!
BFN for me too. And honestly it feels like AF will be here by tomorrow...which means I O'd earlier than I thought. FF (thoughtfully) changed my O about 4 days after the fact. Maybe the software is right?Quote:

Sorry Anchor. Still holding hope for you since AF hasn't shown up yet!! Hope she stays away!!
Sorry ladies, I really want you to get your BFP! I know how hard it is to keep seeing BFN or not getting AF it just drags everything out! I would love for us to all get BFP this has been a slow month!
LOL, thanks Pink, yes, I was obsessing over the stats this morning :)Quote:

Anchor & Pink, I'm with ya! My ? test this morning is definitely a bfn after thinking about it. I'm sure it's just a shadow from the indent or something, because I can see the antibody stripe now. Boo!
But I'm not out yet.... until AF shows, we're all 3 still in the game!
THORZ!!! Omg you need to post a pic! Or did you? I just read this last page, maybe I should read back a bit.
Ladies that think AF is on the way, I'm so sorry. I've been there and it doesn't seem to get any easier the longer you go on, despite my many attempts to make myself numb to it, or plan for af, or try to trick myself with negative or positive thinking, or or or... ;-( all I can say it that SUCKS and I'm here for you, like we all are.
I'm not sure if I'm joining you or not. Forgot to order opk's in time, waiting for more and only have 2 left. Went on holidays and didn't test until CD 13, then only tested once a day until yesterday when I teated twice. It's possible I missed my surge as my surges only last a few hours, and I usually test 3-4 times a day. Temp drop had me convinced and we dtd after 7 day abstain. Then had to switch to a rescue method of hurry up fr, because my temp only rose slightly so I'm not convinced I did o, despite the EWCM and O pains.
Whatever. I'm over it. So we are dtd every night until I get a temp rise I believe in. Or two in a row.
Anyone got a Nexcare 3M digital basal themometer? I got a new one this month but am waiting to use it next month as it reads higher temps (I have to convert to Celsius myself which is annoying, as its in F) than my other one. My other themometer is in C and measures 2 decimal places (Nexcare in F only measures 1) but I really want the louder beep and backlit display of the nexcare. How reliable are they if anyone has one?
I switched to vaginal temping this month which is why my cover line will be higher than other months.
How is everyone tracking?
I'm temping orally, though I just write it down now... didn't feel like paying again for the ff service since all I was using was the temp charting. I have a good 15 hour long lh surge, so using the opk's morning and night work pretty well for me to know when O is.
Good luck this month! :-)
Who else is gonna poas tomorrow? Me, Anchor, and TTCPink... anybody else ready to start the drama, lol?
I'm going to POAS tomorrow too, I am just struggling with the idea that I could get a BFP on 8dpo im still skeptical and wont feel like it is real until it is an obvious line that everyone can see in a pic.Quote:

Congrats Thorz and good luck to everyone still in the game!
I hear ya BabyGirl. I am out this month too and ready to move on. I have terrible cramps and lower back pain, and my spotting has increased. AF is knocking hard on the door and I am sure she will be making her entrance in the morning. Here's to a fresh new cycle!
I will be keeping up with the thread and look forward to seeing more BFP's this month!! Good luck everyone.
Meeks I have that one. Is it purple? It's my favorite. I had a different one when I misplaced the nexcare one and it sucked.
Yay Thorz! I am so jealous. Sorry Babygirl2013 and TTCPink. I'll be POAS tomorrow, I'll only be 8dpo but I'm inspired by Thorz.
You know ff is free if you just use it to record temping don't you?Quote:

Negative is if anyone doesn't realise that themometer is not for mouths!!! Hasn't happened in our house as its labelled 'dirty' but I have heard stories! I don't temp my period after the switch, just from when my af finishes to start of next af.Quote:

Thorz congrats Hun!!!! xxxx
So bummed about the bfns. I am so nervous about doing my own at this point! Any thoughts on the why from anyone? Are we trying too many things to sway? Are we just getting older and less fertile? Is it harder to determine O this time around for some reason? I am feeling pessimistic right now and am already thinking about what I might do differently next time and I am only five days in. Good luck to those of you testing in the next day or two.
I didn't actually! Thought I had to pay, and then my trial membership ran out. Thanks, maybe I'll start using it again:-)Quote:

Mum to 3 Girls - That September 40th birthday is looming over both of us!!! I am glad to know that I'm not the only 'old lady' here! LOL!! When I had my second DS, at 34, I know I was considered 'of advanced maternal age'. What would that make me now?
Thorz- I'm excited for you!! Is this the first BFP of January??
So, today is like 3-4 dpo or something for me. I've set the date to POAS on the 22nd. That seems to be a date that is recommended for a reliable test and 5 days before AF. Anyhow, my DH asks me if I got a BFP today. Today??? Men know so little. I schooled him in how the advances in medical sciences aren't quite that good yet!!
Haha my dh did the same thing last cycle. Drove me mad. Swaying is so easy for him. "Have sex now, then, and tomorrow ok honey?" Done. Grrrr!Quote:

Omg fingers crossed for Jan because December was dismal for BFP's. freakishly so, after so many in November. I need some inspiration!
Hanging on THORZ news now!
Yep! It's my favorite. Never had an issue. It's fast and accurate and stores your last temp.Quote:

Well I've had a tiny bit of brown blood in my CM today (I'm 7 dpo) which is keeping my hopes up. A normal person would see this and rationally decided that if it was implantation bleeding then it would be wisest to wait another 48 hours before POAS to let the levels build up. But I'm not rational so I'll be POAS tomorrow morning (it's bed time in Australia now). I am beyond exhaustion but I work thurs/fridays and transitioning from there to dinner/bath/bed for the girls always takes it out of me.
Good luck for everyone POAS while I sleep!
Good luck my fingers are crossed for you!!!Quote:
