Nann I didn't get a clear bfp until 12dpo with DS1. I had a super faint line at 11dpo but didn't think it was really positive.
I'm cd 17.. last month I O'd on cd 17 but it doesn't look like I will O as early this month. Hopefully I won't go back to my cd30 average :(
Ugh I hope you O soon purple, late O is soooo frustrating.
I hope you don't O that late Purple! Most of the time I ovulate between cd25-30 so I know how frustrating it can be. FX for O in a few days.
CD1 for me today and moving on to our 4th month TTC. I'm actually not that disappointed and maybe it's because I just knew I wasn't pregnant so I'd accepted it already. I at least had a 15 day LP according to FF so that's good. I probably won't O until late Jan./early Feb. I ovulated early last cycle so hopefully I ovulate early again. What's funny is DH and I made a bet last cycle when I'd get a BFP if I did end up pregnant (this was before I even knew when I'd ovulate). DH guessed Dec. 30th and I guessed Jan. 8th. Looks like I predicted the first day of AF instead. :p I'm just ready to get on with this cycle and try again. I'd really love to get a BFP on or before Valentine's Day! :HH:
Good luck to those testing this month!!!
I'm sorry ksmom. I still think you may have Oed later but hope you O much earlier this cycle.
I feel like I'm about to get AF, what with the continued cramping in the middle and on both sides.. Time, please hurry up!
Nann I had a friend that didn't get her bfp until after af was due. That always gives me hope.
Ksmom glad you are optimistic, I like the due dates for babies conceived in January/February anyway so I'm hoping for that.
Maiden hopefully those are just the baby snuggling in!!
I had my u/s for my IUI tomorrow and sadly I only had one follicle at 22. The other was 14. I'm disappointed because with my last dd I had two 21 and one 19 and only got pregnant with one. If this one doesn't work, we are going to increase clomid to 150 or try injectibles but they're sooooo expensive.

Please someone tell me I'm not crazy...
11dpo.. Morning urine, 7 hour hold.. My phone was dead so I had to use my canon that i use for photography [emoji23] so this stupid picture is a picture of a picture on a 2 inch screen... -_-
Of course when I get a squinter the world is working against me to post proof that I'm not just making it up this time! I'll take another test later today when I'm home.. But please tell me you see it too.

Maiden the cramping sounds like a promising sign. :) I always feel like I'm about to get AF when I'm pregnant.
Good luck this cycle Quinn. Hopefully that one good size eggie is all you need to get pregnant!
Nann I can't quite tell because there's so much dye streaked across the test. Could you take another pic once the dye has settled?
No I took the test about an hour ago so this pic is from then! Here's a black and white. So u can see better. Yeah I took it quick so there'd be no mistake over evap or not!

I think I see something! Hopefully it's the beginning of a BFP and you'll get a more definitive line tomorrow. :)
Quinn, thanks, I hope so! If I am pregnant - which I doubt - I feel it's twins (hopefully not more since I had 4 eggs!) bc the sensations remind me of what I believe was implantation with my twins.
I definitely recommend injectables based on my response this cycle to Gonal-F (and my response would have been even better if I had started the injections earlier, at the proper time). Where are you located? It seems injectables are much cheaper here. Maybe i could send you the rest of mine if you're in Europe? It should be enough for 2 cycles and I probably won't use it again. I'd rather be on Clomid or Femara. I'd gladly trade meds with you.
I really want a Fall baby too! Sep-Oct are my favourite months.
ksmom, thank you for your optimism as well. I will say my continued, if not increased breast tenderness/tingling gives me a tiny bit of hope. If I weren't on fertility meds I'd have more. If I did get lucky I think I must have released at least 1 egg after my one BD attempt, which is not impossible,
Nann, I feel like something is catching my eye but I don't see any colour so I would worry it's an evap. I rarely see squinters on my tablet though. Can you try a FRER? Also have you tried testing different times of day?
Well I know it's not an evap cuz the pic was taken 3-5 mins after I dipped the stick in the urine. Hence why I took it on my SLR camera and not my phone cuz it was dead lol! I didn't wanna wait till my phone charged. Also why there are dye streaks cuz I took it so quickly after!
I don't have any frers at the moment though.. I'll probably get some tomorrow at 12dpo so if I am pregnant, it'll be darker on the frers ya know?
I'm going to test again this evening when I get home though with another cheapie:)
I definitely see something nann3r fx for you
Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess
Thanks Maiden but I'm in the states. I would love to get something cheaper. I'm looking on message boards to hopefully find a place to get them. Do you have a diagnosis? I have high FSH and low afc. It's sad because I'm in my early 30's. I hate that this has happened. Dh and I ended up dtd too much before this IUI but his sperm isn't the problem, it's my eggs and if I only have one then I'm nervous.

Quinn, depending on if/when I get a BFP I should be in the US sometime in the Spring, maybe even sooner. If you still need it, I can send you the rest of my Gonal-F then. Although...I think it would probably be okay to send it from here, since legally you can import meds in the US.
Technically I have no fundamental fertility issues, but due to high dose opiates I'm on for pain, my fertility is suppressed a bit and my sex hormones are on the low side. The pain itself also causes issues, bc off pain meds i cease Oing due to the stress on my mind & body. Plus I O late and have a short LP, which combined with no longer being so young may be a problem. The sperm donor I've been using has some health issues that may impact his sperm also. Likely I just need a little boost/help Oing sooner and producing more/better eggs to improve my odds.
I'm sorry you're struggling at your age, it hardly seems fair!
Nann- I don't know... I think I *might* be seeing something but if it's there it is so hidden from the streaking that it makes it hard to tell.... even in the B&W FX this is it for you though!!
I know ugh I just didn't wanna miss my window to ensure no evap! Grr.. Hopefully I will have clearer results tomorrow
Well I had my repeat HCG level this morning. It was 154 on Wednesday and it is down to 77 today, I will be getting a repeat level on Tuesday to make sure it is still going down. The RE is calling it a chemical pregnancy. After seeing todays numbers going down I am really at peace with it, with taking the Clomid, muxinex, wheat grass, having my hair treated and using some peppermint essential oils while apparently pregnant I think this is the best outcome as horrible as that sounds. Still bleeding but not as much as a few days ago. We are just looking toward the future and anxious to start trying again when everything resets itself. I will be the Poster child of telling everyone make sure you test for pregnancy before starting Clomid, even if you have your normal period and temping. Even with this crazy mess happening I will try the Clomid again to increase my egg quality to give us a better chance.
Glad to hear you are feeling better through all of this.. Praying for your cycles to return quickly so you can continue ttc again! The positive side of this is that u did in fact conceive so next cycle you ttc you should be super fertile! Wouldn't be surprised if you got pregnant right away (: fx for you!Quote:

And maybe even multiples! ;) since you were able to release an egg naturally!
I don't pay as much attention to time as I do color. Evaps don't have color.... well they do... grey or a silvery white... but not pink or blue- dye color. I've seen evap lines on tests w/in the 5 mins before, and sometimes I have to let a test dry to get a good look at the test when I am in squinter territory. I do try to make sure I look within the time frame but tests don't get thrown out around here until AFTER they are dry and I see no line (with color). When you are in squinter territory a squinter BFP can easily hide in the coloring of the wet test strip. Even if you CAN see it within time frame you'll be able to see it even better once it's dry. *disclaimer: Do I advocate leaving tests around all day long to dry before checking them? No. Do I think a squinter that could ONLY be seen AFTER it dried should be considered incontrovertible proof of pregnancy? No. There is a reason they put time limits. BUT *IF* you believe you can see something but the test is muddled like yours during the time frame, allowing the test to dry can give you a better view to see if there really was a line or if it just looked like it because the test was muddled. This may not be a popular opinion but I have taken SOOOOOO many tests that it's kinda like charting for me. Some rules are hard and fast while others have wiggle room provided you understand that you are going outside the recommendations and therefore understand that there is some room for error.Quote:

I am here if you need to chat. Just shoot me a PM.Quote:

I so hope you get a sticky bean (or two) soon, you so deserve it! Glad to see you back on your journey.
Does anyone here take baby aspirin? I know Atomic does not recommend it any longer but before I was on this board I took one everyday while I was conceiving our first baby and continued taking it well into the pregnancy. I am toying with starting again even though I know it sways girl, I did have a girl while on it but now knowing everything there were other things that swayed girl too probably. In my head I am thinking maybe that is why I had a chemical this time because I wasn't taking it. Not sure if I will take it or not, still up in the air about it.
Thank you. (((HUGS)))) to you as well and I pray you get your rainbow bean soon too. It breaks my heart to see so many suffering losses on here :( It's just not fair.Quote:

I would imagine so and as long as you don't abruptly stop when you get preg I don't see it causing any harm.... but I'm no expert so...
Twointow do you think my line was evap then?
I doubt it if u saw something before the time limit. What does it dook like dry?Quote:

tfahn, I think a proper Clomid cycle should yield a nice sticky bean. Hugs to you.
Nann I do see something and it looks like it may have color but hard to tell since it's so faint. Hopefully tomorrow the line will be darker.
So sorry Tfahn. :( I truly hope the clomid does the trick and you get a sticky little bean!
Nann, I see a definite grey shadow but have had evaps look like that. Remember I'm on a tablet so not ideal for viewing squinters. Fx for tomorrow!
Nann3r- There is zero doubt there is a line there. I think I even see just a hint of color! Looking forward to tomorrow's test! Did you say you would be taking a FRER tomorrow?
Are you talking to me or tfahn? Lol! Well yes I am planning on trying to sneak away to get some tests tomorrow:) I'm attempting to keep it a secret from DH just in case this is the real deal haha to surprise him. I'll post my results once I get them!Quote:
