Ugh! Yes, my sister has the worst fear of ultrasounds. She has lost two at 10 and 12 weeks after seeing a heartbeat at 8. Absolutely awful!!! BW makes her crazy too!lol

Sorry to hear that to her

BW not an issue for me... the only thing to ever come from BW was my prog was low with our angel DD. My numbers double pretty good though so... Though the chromosome testing might make me nervous this time, knowing we have had a baby with chromosome abnormalities. But at least I'll have finding out the gender to look forward to

Not sure what it means, if anything but... I tested last night... not 100% on why but I did. I knew there would probably be no line but I guess that is why I did it. To make sure there was no chance that this mornings test would end up being lighter than last night's, I get all excited see a line or something and then get let down... Anyway, I got the itch to test again tonight and decided to go fo it to compare it to last night's test since I didn't have AM tests to compare and....

There is always the possibility it is just a normal flux of hormones but it feels good to see that tonight's test is darker than last night's test. So much for not being a POAS addict this cycle Oh well, will power is overrated lol.

Hi Ladies


Still early pbn i have everything crossed. My eyesight isn't good enough for checking squinters 😂

How is everyone else fairing? Ik trying not to symptom spot but 2 bigs changes for me overnight, very tender constant sore BBs and increased need for the loo big time! Im only 6 dpo but i certainly feel pregnant, maybe its all hormonal. I'm trying to hold out til Monday and even then its still early.

Will be shopping and then home for a nap before i get the kiddies.

I was so excited! I think that is good that tonights test is darker. I would take that as a good sign. Are you going to test on an hpt tomorrow?

In the grand scheme, just something to toy with until your levels are high enough for HPT to pick up, because if using an opk as an HPT same rules apply... to be + test line has to be as dark or darker than the control line to be positive and you'll get a HPT BFP before a + OPK. But here is the rundown of how it works...

LH and HCG are essentially twins, but HCG has a "nose job". OPK's test for the twin, HPT tests for the nose job. SO, OPKs will pick up on HCG as well as LH. HPT will ONLY pick up on HCG. The idea is that if your OPKs get progressively darker each day it's a good sign that HCG is building, even though you may not be able to get anything on an HPT. It is NOT a replacement for HPTs but can possibly give you an idea of what is going on. Heres a pic of OPKs and HPTs to show you what I mean(I did this when I got preg with my DD... *Important note* just because your OPKs aren't getting darker doesn't mean you are out... some test are just less sensitive than others!*

I think implantation was just yesterday (if at all) so I think it may be too early for an HPT. I might... but I don't know. It'll depend on my mood in the AM I suppose lol.
