Prayforprincess~ Stay away spotting. Enough, we know you are implanting but your scaring momma!!! What you ate is not bad at all for this far along in the 2 WW- the egg whites will not raise your glucose, and the krispie treat was at noon. I'm hungry too and my 2 WW just started. Dh wants to go to dinner Friday night 7dpo, when it gets closer I'll decide. I was thinking I'd still stay vegeterian, get a salad, prob eat too much bread, and share a brownie sundae. Ahhh maybe not. I don't know. Will see.

Kraisy~ Good luck this cycle!!

Suregena~ I cannot believe AF is still not here. I'd want to know why....

I've been a gender dreaming addict today I gotta go be productive. In my office soon anyway!! Ttyl ladies...i'm still thirsty by the way....Its our month PFP!!! (and more of us from the feb thread) OK i'm really signing off now!!

So my sis-in-law sent me this and it really eased my mind:

How long after implantation bleeding can I expect a positive pregnancy test? "Implantation" refers to the embryo attaching itself to the uterus. Sometimes women experience spotting or even light bleeding as the embryo burrows deep into the lining. (Some don't; either is normal.) This process can happen in a day, but in some cases, takes a full 4 days for the embryo to completely attach. Implantation generally occurs between 6-12 days following ovulation/conception, with the majority (over 80%) occurring between 8-10 days past ovulation (DPO.)

Once implantation is complete, the embryo begins producing hCG, the pregnancy hormone. It usually takes about 2-4 days for the implanted embryo to begin producing hCG at a high enough level to be detected by a sensitive pregnancy test. So, if you have experienced spotting or bleeding, and you believe it may be related to implantation, you should probably wait about 2-4 days to test (using a sensitive, early-detection test that measures at 25 mIU/mL or lower. If you are using a test that is less sensitive, allow more time. See the HPT Overview for a list of various HPT sensitivity levels.) It is possible to experience a negative test at this point and still be pregnant; if so, wait another couple of days to allow the hCG to build up in your system to a level high enough to be detected, and test again.

Pheww! So it appears for now the bleeding has just stopped. So this little bugger has taken 3 days to implant! I will wait til Friday to test now. That will give my body 2 1/2 days after implantation to get that hcg up. Most likely won't get a positive til Saturday now. But at least its looking up, and it appears I may be having a positive weekend!

I just came across a study that says it was PROVEN that a women carrying a female fetus has higher hcg level than those carrying males. This could mean that women carrying females are able to detect pregnancy earlier. Tomorrow I am 11dpo -- if I have to wait much longer for my bfp I am scared I am having a boy. I know with all my other pregnancies I got late bfp's (other than my ht pregnancy with twin girls which was an early bfp at 10dpo).

Do any of you ladies recall -- What day past ovulation did you get your first bfp with your boys??

[pinkin2011]

I was 14 or 15 dpo with my ds but that was a clear blue test that was to be used from day of af and it was so faint but i think i did get a earlier bfp this time around because the digi was saying 2-3 weeks day of expected af... who knows tho back then what would of happened if i used a frer

[Mochagirl]

I got my BFP at 8dpo with my twins and 11dpo with ds3. With my Sept pregnancy it was 9 dpo, but I don't know what my angel's gender was. This time I got my BFP at 10dpo.

prayforprincess-I was sooo thirsty when I was pregnant with ds1 and had bright red implantation bleeding. FX for you!

hopeanddream-Yes! Getting very excited! I didn't o on my own this month, so I think I am randomly going to take the prover to try and get my period starting on the 4th, day after ds1's b-day, which I have to take for 10 days, then I will hopefully get my af a day or so after that, then clomid on days 5-9. So, I may not even o until April after it's all added up! I didn't O until cd 21 before! If it all goes down roughly the same that is like, April 4th!

[laughinglynxie]

With my son, it was 13 dpo and very faint. I didn't get as tired or as sick as I am right now.

With this new pregnancy, it was 10dpo.

[Cailinalainn]

My temp went down this morning, 10 dpo. I'm gutted. I really felt pregnant. I had abandoned the diet during the 2ww cos I was so sick of it and so naively confident.

I had been doing the IG diet and only discovered this site during this attempt so I've to start my research all over again now and jump-start in.

Will take a day to come to terms with the BFN first.

Laughing, I didn't realise you got a BFP!! Congratulations, that is fantastic. Sorry you are feeling a bit sick, but at least you know it is for a good cause.

Cail, that sucks. Could the temp dip be an implantation dip or is it drastically low? I know what it is like to be convinced it will be a BFP, only to get BFNs. If you do end up needing to try again in March, rest assured I will be right there with you!
