Oh PP, I'm so sorry to hear this. I feel sad. You're sure of your decision? You'll get support here no matter what you do.

Hobbs, that is weird that you are queasy! You never know, some women get queasy right away and every pregnancy is different.......hope this is it!

TTC5, I am sorry you got a bfn. Buggar. But the ladies are right, you aren't out yet. I usually don't get an early bfp either....I did when I had m/c though.

It didn't last long. I ate some lunch and it went away, and I haven't felt weird since. Must have been a fluke thing! Oh well.

I am only here to say AF came 4 days early. I have been sick so who knows if that caused it.

All I know is I am out. Completely. I am currently selling everything baby and calling the OB/GYN tomorrow for getting fixed asap. I wont be trying anymore the stress of trying is causing problems with me and my sons.

I will check in from time to time but I am done.

Oh PP I am so sad for you :'(

[Hobbermittens]

PP, that sounds so sudden and final... I hope you are okay? I think getting "fixed" is something you should think about a little while before you do it, only because reversals are difficult and don't always work, just in case you change your mind. I wish you peace, whatever decision you make.

PP~ Wait until things settle down. You have a LOT going on!!!!! Don't do anything permanent yet.

PP - I agree with others. Definitely stop TTC if it's causing you so much stress, but I'd wait to schedule surgery. Give yourself a 'cooling off' period. Whatever you decide, I hope you find peace .

I haven't read ahead, and someone may have already answered this, but I get these: Amazon.com: Combo Pack 40 (LH) Ovulation Tests + 10 (HCG) Pregnancy Test Strips: Health & Personal Care You can't beat this anywhere, and I've been ttc a LONG time and used many many tests! 40opks and 10hpts for only $10, and the hpts are super sensitive and good for early testing.

About when to test....this is my theory/opinion: if you don't get upset with bfns, I think the earliest should be 10dpo. I wait till 12dpo myself, because I'll have AF on 13/14dpo, and most likely would get a + by then. Some months I just wait for AF because it's too depressing to see those stark white tests over and over, LOL. So, I say 10dpo at the earliest, but the longer you wait, the more definitive of a bfp you will get (ie, no squinters).

And about the lines- in most cases, they will not get darker in a matter of a few days. I took one at 12dpo and then another two weeks later and it was much darker, but that was 2 weeks later of hcg. So don't fret about lines not getting darkers, ladies!!!! You'll just stress yourself out.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks very much Lola. These are cheap! I love amazon. I actually couldnt wait and bought a pack of 3 of FRER from the drugstore at $22! I will order these as well if I dont get a HPT this cycle. Also, good advice about waiting to test. I am 7dpo and am itching but ill be holding off until 12dpo - Jan 21. I think my AF is due Jan 23 or 24.
