TTC Girl - February 2012

[sweetsister]

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.

I am with you im 13 dpo 2 days late for af so was starting to feel a spark of hope and my temp this morning dropped I also ditched the diet during the 2ww so i might even have to take a break Again!!!
But .....AF isnt here YET Daa daaa daaaaa dum,im hoping someone will chime in with a story of having temp drop at 13dpo that ended up being pregnant?Im grasping at straws here arent it?

[prayforprincess]

I am so sorry girls for the bfn and temp drop. I have also fudged up the diet a bit in my 2ww.
11dpo and bfn this morning. Not sure I expected any different yet since the bleeding only stopped yesterday, but I was hoping for a surprise.
Now I am freaked out that if I am pregnant its a boy, cause it took so long to implant and as is, the soonest I would get a bfp is 12dpo - tho probably not til 13 or 14. My temp was still high this am, 98.46 - so that is positive. Al my gf's that have girls got their bfp's earlier than af was due. I'll be getting it when af is due, if I get it at all. I am not starting off with good signs.

Are we moving over to the March forum?? I should probably start posting over there.

Should I go get a blood test this morning? I would have the results by 4pm this afternoon (eastern time). I know, I am the most impatient person ever!
I am 11dpo -- says ff. Is that soon enough to pick up the hcg in my blood? The implantation bleeding (if that is what it was, tho it 100% appeared to be) only stopped yesterday. There is a reason ht patients have to wait til 14dpo to have their blood taken. But at 14dpo they like to see your blood level over 100. So even if mine was 100 minimum on Saturday, it should be over 30 at least today. It just has not reached my urine ****** yet? Why am I obsessing -- because I want to eat normal again that is why.
I am truly driving myself and probably all of you crazy!!

I think honestly you should wait it out until af is due,,,if you can it is only a few days away and you should know for sure right?But if you are driving yourself mad with wondering and worry then get blood drawn.And dont be asking me about eating normal again i would just say do it because i myself have caved and been off the diet in the 2ww,but ive been strict for too many months i just couldnt take it anymore

Ya, I just need to wait til this weekend. It's driving me mad though.

And I was just thinking, af is due Sunday. So FRER says it can detect 6 days before a missed period at the earliest -- that would be yesterday.
And today is only 5 days before my missed period so its not unusual that it would still be a bfn.
The box says most will get a bfp on 4 days before missed period. So here is to hoping for a bfp tomorrow - although it would still only be 1.5 days after spotting ended. I can still hope.

Sorry girls -- I know I am so annoying. Thanks for putting up with me.

hi all well im gutted took a frer this morning and BFN the clearblue yesterday was a false positive, im not even sure i ovulated as my temps are a mess, does anyone know how long baby can take to implant ???

[atomic sagebrush]

Little Miss, remember that temping on Clomid is not reliable - can someone find that thread for me, it was about a week and a half ago and people were comparing notes on their Clomid temps??

Baby takes 7-10 days to implant and it can take a couple days after that to make enough HCG for a pg test to implant. Also, sometimes your urine is just too diluted to detect the hormone in the pee even if it's present in your blood. Not to offer false hope but just so you know that one BFN does not always mean you're not pg.

prayingforprincess ~ your not annoying, its so hard this waiting game. Hope you get your BFP soon x

littlemissnaughty7 ~ i think i have read that implantation can happen any time from 5dpo - 12dpo, not sure if that is correct.

Well i was ill last night throat felt like i was swallowing razor blade, headache etc so went bed early couldnt sleep tho, got few sharp pinching pains in lower right abdomen. Woke up feeling pants but i have perked up. But when sat on sofa few hours ago got sharp pinching pains in my left lower abdomen. Literally only lasted few seconds but my lower back been aching today also. Had alot worse than this last month and was convinced i was pg but wasnt so wont read too much into it.

Hope to see some BFP's soon x

[littlemissnaughty7]

my temps on my last 3 clomid cycles were all a breeze though so i was expecting the same i think, thanks il try and stay positive, AS do you know anything about the idea that PFP is talking about, that boys take much longer to get a BFP with then girls do ?? i got a BFP with my DS2 at 9dpo !

[prayforprincess]

Littlemiss- Its a study done. I posted a thread on ttc boy -- you should take a look. Atomic posted on it.http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...-your-dds.html
The study is true but the numbers are average, meaning that there are definitely many, many people out of the box. Many women having girls can still have low numbers and boys still have high numbers. Also, if you read the essay (again posted on that thread) you will see that the numbers are roughly the same at 14 & 15dpo. They don't start to show significant differences til 18, 19 & 20dpo. So truly, when one gets their bfp has no baring on the gender of the embryo, since we all usually get our bfp on or by 14-15dpo.
Its the numbers a week from there that showed a difference.

Stay strong. It is still so early -- you are only 9dpo yes? I am 11 and still bfn but I have high hopes I should see a positive by Saturday or Sunday. Believe me I know how hard the waiting game is, but it does take up to 4-5 days after implantation is complete to get a bfp. Hang in there.
