nks, congrats! Now, go eat something for the rest of us, okay?

Congrats. I got a positive with First Response early pregnancy tests at 8dpo. I don't think it is too early to test.

I had a crummy night of sleep, knowing that I was 14dpo this morning and was going to test.

Aaaaaaaaaaand ... bfn. Lame. If I had gotten pg this cycle, my due date would have been one day before my birthday ... so I would have squeaked my last baby while I was 33. Gosh, my mom was barely 21 when she had me ... 34 is not quite the same! But ... all in God's plan, hands and timing.

So I need to strategize as I head into cycle 3. I conceived both DS on cycle 2, so this will be uncharted territory for me. Um, yay?

I will be asking some advice on what to change and/or drop this time around. I am hoping you all will be willing to throw in your feedback.

The first thing I need to figure out is timing. First cycle we did abstain with one attempt. Second cycle was abstain with compressed fr -- we got four attempts within 24 hours on that one. So do we drop abstain in favor of fr? Or keep abstain with compressed fr (I do not dare a one shot attempt again) and drop one of the other sperm lowering tactics, like tighty whities or licorice root? Help?

sorry for your BFN drama hun i hope this next cycle is your BFP !!!!

[nks798]

thanks ladies.. but line is still very faint this morning. kind of worrying me but I know that hCG levels can take 2-3 days to double. so, I guess I am not out until AF shows her ugly face. DH told me to just wait and test Sunday or Monday.. ugh.. I'm going to TRY to but it's soooo hard to be patient.

dramabird, I hope April is your month!

Lassie, at about 3/4 dpo I ran a little fever.. I even felt lethargic. I hope you get your BFP.

drama, how old is your DH? mine is 25.. and we did abstain.. it was a little less than I wanted.. only 9 days.. bc I freaked out and thought I O'd early.

NKS~ a cautious congrats!!! I'm thinking it sounds really really like a real BFP!! YAY YAY YAY

PFP~ thanks for the info!! Good luck, great you can get going right away.

Drama~ Sorry about the BFN, I too wanted to know how old DH is before I give you my opinion.

Lassie~ I have actually heard women think they get a BFP BECAUSE they were ill, AND that would def help your sway. Last month I was sick and it helped me feel better not taking meds that it was helpful to my sway even though I was suffering.

Amari~ How is my cycle buddy and O yet? Your dtd daily still? you must be tired!!

I am wondering if I am going to get a BFP: here's why: I do an injection which triggers O. It makes hpt's positive, so I take one daily and actually watch it get lighter every day. 1dpo is darkest and it gets lighter and lighter everyday (by 7dpo I had the tinest line and 8dpo it was STARK white). Well this cycle it started to fade and get lighter and lighter, but yesterday it was darker then 2 days ago!! Wondering if it means anything? I'm thinking maybe it does, and I have to tell you my first reaction was scared, like holy its gonna be a boy, not excitment about the possibility of a BFP, oy. Thoughts??

[littlemissnaughty7]

H&D why would you think its going to be a boy ?

[littlemissnaughty7]
