That is so awesome!!!! I hope you do!!!

Yes, my due date for DS#2 was gonna be Feb 16, but he came the 1st! So this is going to be cool if I get my BFP too lol
I hope we both do!

hope!!!!!! I like that bfp this month would be attached to significant days (ds bday and val day due date) I'm a sucker for looking at 'signs', and those sorts of things are positive indicators for me (drives my DH batty that I'm forever looking at 'signs' and reading into things) There are couple of thing that have 'lined up correctly' for us as a family in May, which is why i have such high hopes for may (plus 3 out of 4 physics predicting may).

Thanks butterfly so the general consensus appears to be that implant can be any colour really!
OMG i had goosebumps reading about your husbands dream! Thats awesome - your little girl IS coming. I am a believer in dreams (though havnt got a clue how to interpret them and what they mean) but i think its our minds way of bringing to the forefront things that we don't yet consciously know.

Good news about the cramping - thats GOTTA be a good sign at this stage! Why don't you think yours was IB?

I had a google about dtd in the 2ww and the jury is out, most places where i read that its a big no no were where there was IVF involved...im thinking it should be alright......dam hormones.

Hubby is excited - but always keeps it contained, he doesn't like to get hopes up for anything in life, so normally keep it all inside. He just wants me to get pregnant - any gender now. Which is another reason i REALLY hope May is my month, DH doesn't want to sway anymore, he already said if I'm not pregnant this month he won't be doing the FR and the LR, don't know if i will be able to convince him otherwise. He just wants to have a baby, not drag this on by swaying (and he really feels that the reason we have failed other months is the FR)

No spotting whatsoever this morning, my CP is high and closed, and there was not even a slight tinge of any sort of colour.

Got some friends coming round today - they have a baby girl.....so jealous (grrr and i hate feeling that way!)

Yes, it totally gives me goosebumps every time I bring it up because everyone in his family has premonitional dreams, his mom especially..and the fact that the baby explained I was her momma. She said "ten years ___ " (insert something unique that would only describe me) was a message from God to him! LOL At the time of course he didn't know what it meant. He first told me about the dream when I got pregnant, so of course I thought my baby was a girl! The second time too, however when I asked God in my mind if it was a boy the answer was immediately "You have to be patient. This is a boy and he will bring you more joy than you could ever imagine." He wasn't kidding LOL but now I'm ready for this girl and God did tell me this will be my girl, so we shall see!
Oh, I'm so excited!! I know my thyroid is now in working order, and the raspberry leaves thickened my uterine wall!
Constant symptoms from O-1DPO I had gas and was exhausted! Then the mild cramping and pressure, and constantly peeing.. very good! Boobies sore throughout the week too. I REALLY hope this is it.. I don't know how long I can dip my OPK in water.. Hubby really isn't going to help me get my daughter..it's all on me!

I don't think it was IB because I went not only pee but..the other thing... and I think the blood came from that.. lol I hate typing this..I'll still be watching for it though.

At this stage I REALLY think you will be okay.. but if you are paranoid do it gently. I actually think it's a miracle to have sex while pregnant period! haha I was in shock when I first got prego.. later on in pregnancy the orgasms did cause a contraction! LOL

I REALLY HOPE THIS IS YOUR MONTH TOO!!!!

As far as your cervix being high and closed... I say that's a VERY good sign!

I hope you have a nice visit with your friends..hey you will have one some day! Let it be your motivation!!!
Even though hubby won't sway you can still take Vitex and other things!

Lassie that blood could be implantation, it would definatly be the day for it, way to early for pre AF. The only other thing it may have been was cervix irritation, if your DH pushed a little too hard sometimes you can bleed a tiny bit. And don't worry about DTD in the 2WW, if there is a fertilised egg making its way down or attaching it is perfectly safe in there.

Thanks Cinns and Butterfly

The visit went well - loved playing with the little bundle of pink!

I have been googling (goodness help me!) and found this Beta values main chart
at 10dpo i was planning to test with a 10mui and a frer.
Based on that chart, at 10dpo, my 10mui test *should* let me know if i am pregnant, and if its a negative than chances are that its a correct negative, and that my chances of a BFP are then very slim?

According to that chart, the lowest positive hcg level reported - even on day 18 - was only 9, which means that a FRER that can detect 10mui isn't guaranteed to pick it up... plus there are slight variations in the test sensitivities, urine concentration etc etc that could throw it off as well. Just because the median was 16 doesn't mean that a BFP would be slim with a negative on that date... I mean, look at the highest beta there! The median is just an average.

These links are really helpful:
Pregnancy Test Results by Brand - First Response Early Result | Countdown to Pregnancy
Pregnancy Test Results by Brand - First Response 6 days sooner | Countdown to Pregnancy

They will give you statistics for the likelihood of getting a positive on a specific DPO... much simpler than trying to figure it out using betabase.

Good luck

so testing day came.
and both my frer and 10 mui are BFN's
its never a good idea to have high hopes for a particular month is it!

thanks for the links Ribbons, certainly much easier to read.
Looking at that information, at 10dpo with a 6days earlier free, 76% had bfp's.

im so teary now! So not like me, i knew i was setting myself up for a fall being so hopeful about May, but i didn't think i'd be this upset

no more testing for me, it upsets me too much, getting that BFN, its like its staring you in the face saying laughing at you saying, "really? you *actually* thought you could be pregnant? You fool"
