Yes - Internet cheapie test that came up faint but definitely there BFP! No sign of AF and tons of Preg symptoms.
Not bad for 39(me) and 41(DH) year old on first try!!!

Hoping for stronger BFP tomorrow (Today is 12 DPO and AF always comes 11-13 DPO). I never tested positive until a few days after with the other 3.

Good for you and I'm so jealous.

Princess did you use smileys or regular opks? If you're sure you had positive, even if you o'd early, then you don't need to test on cd14 except for your own peace of mind. If you got an opk and think it was only near positive then test.

Congrats Deb!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy!!

Babydes I will test on Weds, 9 dpo. I'm still nauseated but it could be from allergies since we are having some warm, windy weather. ITA seeing that heartbeat helps alleviate any nerves!

If it were me and the tests were cheap enough Princess I would test again so you know for sure. If in doubt, why not POAS. That way you won't stress that maybe you didn't O early and miss it. Not sure I'd use the digital except as back-up. I can't remember if u tested as B said w/ a digital when you think you O early.

Ladies....

I'm currently CD10 waiting for O. Need advice on timing. How important is it really? I'm thinking bd every 3rd day and when I get a +opk. I'm not 100% sure on DH's sperm count. Back in 2005 (when we thought we couldn't conceive) DH has a SA done and they said it was low. I want to say like 20 million but I really don't remember. We ended up conceiving before we went to specialist but then we miscarried. I did some online research and put him on specific vitamins and we conceived again DD1 two weeks later. So now, I don't know if he STILL has low sperm count or if it's ok now. Right now he has been on Men's One a Day, CoQ10, L-Arginine, L-Carnitine, and Fish Oil for about 3 months. So, I'm thinking in order to get pregnant we need to bd more than just O day. Anyone agree/disagree? Advice? Do we start bd on first day of +opk or at first signs of ewcm? I have no idea how many days of +opk's I will get.

I'm really hoping this happens on the 1st try, but I know that's only in a perfect world. I really want that March baby!

There are other things more important than timing (diet and keeping your blood sugar up) but most of us will do the timing just as even a little extra benefit. I think a lot of us are trying to do: 1st O-2 after 3-4 days of abstinence, then on O (12 - 18hrs after 1st + opk), then maybe even 48hrs after that. If you have some time and don't need a BFP right away people do just at the 12-18 hrs after 1st + opk, but you said you wanted to do it more than once. I know Atomic has a sticky about it as well.

Myself and other have had problems w/ the L-Arginine but I'm not sure about men.

I used smiley opks, not sure if that is considered digital or not. i had two days of positive opk and ewcm but oed 4 days earlier than normal so just wondering if it could be a
false positive? thanks

Kris127, when are you testing?

Ams, sorry for BFN. Just keep trying, it will happen

Iluv, cant wait to hear your results tomorrow, FX it's BFP for you

Princess, if you've ovulated already why would you be doing another opk

Boyjoy, glad all's well with baby

I did test yesterday but got a bfn, i was 10dpo so i will wait a few more days then test again.

[Kris217]

Kris shouldn't you be testing any day now?!?!

I'm gonna wait til maybe day 13 or longer if i can wait!

[Kris217]

OK, all.....BFN for me and I'm cool w/ that since no sway really. Praying for next month and hopefully thyroid will be better and allow me to have a normal cycle since it seems to be like every other month I get jacked. I'll be out of town come Mon. morning.

Thanks everyone for checking in w/ me!!

Sorry girl, we've been getting a few too many bfn's here for my liking! Here to July!

[TTC5]

Babydes ITA with TTC5, with DD2 I felt so good the WHOLE pregnancy ... and I remember being exactly the same as you describe, so concerned bc I didn't feel pg at all. With DD1 my boobs got huge almost immediately, they were sore, I was nauseated ... DD2, NOTHING. No symptoms what-so-ever. It was hard. I felt heaps better when I saw the heartbeat. I bet you are carrying a healthy bean in there, don't stress, try (I know it is hard) to enjoy the feeling good!

DebH FX for you this am!

Iluv I am also curious to know your test results! I'm glad you've got the meds thing sorted out, here's hoping they get things back where they ought to be. It seems like you've had a rough couple of months lady. Big, fat, virtual hug to you. I will say in spite of it you get on here and seem to be hanging in there like a champ. You're a strong lady for sure!

TTC5 what's the plan for July?!? I'm already excited for your next 2WW!

Back on supps/drinks etc and not sure wether we will try this cycle or not yet..

[3Pink1Blue]

Congrats deb!

Sorry for the bfn's, boy do they hurt

Ttc5- I take vit d, I found out after dd3 that I have a severe deficiency. Why do you ask?

Just a quick check in and more bfn's and a bfp! I think that's 4 bfp's this month!
So I may have to kill dd2, she said to my mil, bil and his gf that she thinks I'm pregnant. Bil mentioned it today and I laughed it off. Next time they will outright ask and won't take anything short of a solid answer. It's stupid but I don't like to lie, it's almost like if I say I'm not it'll make me not. Mock away, I know it's stupid. At this point we will avoid them till mid July but we weren't looking to spill it then, though we may not have a choice. My pants won't button, with this being my 6th pregnancy my uterus is ready to grow and I fear it will out me well before we're ready. I'm an all out front kind of girl so there really is no hiding it. Still though I'd rather they think I'm just chunking up more, gotta muzzle that little brat lol

Good for you and I'm so jealous.

Thanks, I hope your sway goes perfectly next month!
