Good job... as a fellow POAS addict I understand the struggle lol. If someone would have told me 10 years ago that I would become obsessed with peeing on and in (cup) things I'd have thought they were off their rocker lol... the things TTC does to us.

Just popping by. Reading the banter and wishing you both GL. I'm 4-5 dpo and trying to plan my POAS action. I have one test - it's old but not expired from my pregnancy with ds 4. I do not believe its an FRER. I didn't want to buy a bunch of wondfos or Babis his round. If I get s bfn I'll buy a combo pk of opks and hpts.

I didn't end up going to the theme park earlier in the week and it all worked out. Now I have a clear answer!!! This is a $1 test. I couldn't help it and took another yesterday and saw a shadow so I said what the heck I'll take one today and see what happens.
Tomorrow I will take BOTH tests! My last Babi and a $1 test. I'm excited though because the babi always shows before the $ test!!!!
I hope you can see it. It's clearly there in RL, the inverted test is TOUGH.. but you can barely see anything there, this is the first one that's come close to showing up.
I'm am excited!! :) Tempted to text my mom-in-law, but I'll hold back, gotta hold back! A surprise is always better!! :HH:
Thank you God! Now I just need a dark line in the next week!
It dried okay FINALLY a line you ALL can see, and the invert action can see!!! I went outside to shoot these! :D
Welcome back a little baby to my womb!! :HH:

Congrats :) I see something. It is faint but there!
Thank you, I'm so excited! I finally can stop feeling like the crying wolf thing ugh. I don't know what to do though. With my DD I took prescription progesterone, and I'm nervous about this preg and breastfeeding again. I will never know if that's what helped my DD survive all 9 months but now I have a decision to make. I'm still cautiously optimistic but it's hard. For now I have my BFP. Stick baby stick!!! :HH:Quote:

I found out that Sprouts has progesterone cream! Now just how to get it without DH knowing.. bahaha :rofl:
Progesterone (prescription or not) has not been shown to make any better outcome with or without it, and the OTC stuff is not strong enough to sustain a pregnancy (IMO). I would personally not have you mess with the OTC stuff in case of making matters worse (if you take it and then stop or miss a day, your body may interpret that as a drop in prog and pull the plug on the pregnancy) but that is totally at your discretion.
Shoot. So I need the prescription if I choose to do it. :(Quote:

Bright... red... blood and light cramping. That's where I am right now. It's SO hard to be positive when I see this sh*t.
Now, I did this same exact thing with DD but it stopped after three days, however I got on progesterone RIGHT away.
I'm so so sick of this!
:tissue: So FING sick of this. Pardon my language. Prayers needed. :HH:
I'm really starting to think that my body can't handle a constant nursing baby while sustaining a pregnancy.. hence why I believe I need progesterone.
:'( prayers

How are you feeling?
I am feeling GREAT! I just wipe dark blood now. There's no flow. Just that!! :D Still feel prego, and still look it. So that's good!
Fingers still crossed for you! How are the HPTs looking?
I haven't peed on any. I figure no point while I'm bleeding. It will be a bit. I just don't have enough sticks! bahaha so I'll wait a loooong while.Quote:

I'm seriously seriously seriously to an emotional breakdown that I can no longer keep in, and I'm sitting here with tears running down my cheeks..
I guess God thought I could use a chemical pregnancy after my loss.
I am completely beside myself right now. I don't even know what to Effing DO! Can't even take Vitex I guess.. Or maybe I could for one week until I O. Have to decide... Why TF is this happening!!!? :tissue:
Wish I had answers for you hun (((HUGS))) Did you start bleeding again or something?
No, I peed on a stick and the line faded to almost nothing.Quote:

No more vitex. I know it seemed to work the last time but in the years since then I have seen it cause nothing but trouble in this type of scenario.
I totally understand the temptation that there has to be something to DO or fix but your body is already trying to do that. The more you do and take the worse it tends to get. Everythign that has the potential to fix a cycle also has the potential to mess it up and even things that seemed to work in the past can do this because the issue is not always the same thing. I am finding that the more people take, the longer things take to correct themselves.
I know you prob. already mentioned this but one more time, what is your cycle doing - length and how long is LP?? The reason why people don't get pg while nursing is due to prolactin and USUALLY if your cycle is normal, your prolactin is not preventing pregnancy any more. Prolactin and weird cycles when nursing go together, if the cycle is normal-ish then it is very likley that nursing has nothing to do with why you haven't conceived.
I agree it may be time to drop vitex. I didn't realize you are still nursing so that puts a kink in the chain of what I am about to say but I'll say it and you do what you will with it. It took forever and a day to conceive my second. My cycles were whacked to the Nth degree. After I lost him my cycles couldn't have been much better between then and conceiving my third. There is something about pregnancy that seems to fix the hormonal wasteland of crap cycles, if only for a short time. So, you may come to discover, being not-to-far out from a confirmed loss, and now a suspected loss (I say suspected not because I am trying to down play your pain. Nothing could be further from the truth! But rather because you never got blood work to confirm it) you might find that your cycles might be just fine without vitex.
Also, and this is just my thinking, feel free the tell me to shove it where the sun don't shine ;) But after 2 losses, I would really start to wonder if the vitex is doing more harm than good. Remind me why you take the vitex? Do you not O without it? Cycle length? Cycle regularity??
So sorry butterfly! I had two chemicals after my 12 week loss and thought the universe was so awful and mean. I am guessing it was just because my body wasnt ready to handle a pregnancy but ugh it sucked! Totally unfair. Wishing you the best...hoping you get pregnant again super soon with a sticky bean!
You are pretty quiet lately. How is everything going? How are you feeling?
Sorry ladies I didn't mean to leave you all hanging. Things have been very emotional in my world.. first this crap and then my bro was diagnosed with brain cancer and they operated on him, removed it, and now treating him and now we are preparing to celebrate my first born's bday. Anyway.. today was a BIG day for me. Hubby opened the door for me to open up to him. First I made him promise that it wouldn't change our intimacy, because since I got pregnant he's let go, and we have an amaaazing sex life the past few months and, I didn't want to lose it because we are so much closer and connected now! Plus I did not want to have it affect him, and of course I wanted to just get pregnant again right away.. But maan it was nice to finally bawl in his arms and let him know what's going on the past 3ish months and release ALL that pain!! My loss.. our baby gone.. how I saw it intact and took pictures. Then about my following chemical preg. So three days ago I was feeling symptoms again.. and then the blood started *SIGH*.. so I'm bleeding like a period and have the left side corpus luteum cyst pain thing going on.. the same I felt when I was pregnant 3 months back. So I 'm stumped. Boobs hurt and all.. now I'm in limbo once again. But today I told God.. "I'm so glad I was able to let go and reveal to my hubby and he's accepted it, but now, I'm just done. I'm so tired of this..I can't handle what's going on.. I just accept it. When my baby is meant to stick it will stick. But in the meantime I just can't live like this day to day so I'm trying not to. I'm giving all this to you now. I accept your will." Hubby said we can get pregnant again, so I hope we can. I hope he doesn't flip and change his mind. *knocks on wood* No vitex of course that's off the table, but I still take all my other supplements. I'll keep you ladies updated if anything else happens or I need to record something. Thanks for all your support! :HH:
So glad to hear from you and hear that you were able to get it all out AND that hubby is on board!! So sorry to hear about your brother and the bleeding (((hugs))) *fingers crossed* and prayers for a sticky BFP. You deserve some happiness (((more hugs)))
