FRER 10dpo



I am concerned that it's so faint still. Is that normal for 10dpo BFP??? Please someone tell me it is! I could tell that my urine didn't look as concentrated as yesterday.

[Alexis2007]

Begonia-I will TOTALLY be finding out gender!!! I am a planner! If it's a boy, I will be repainting the nursery from pink to BLUE! DH will have to know too.

Now my worries are setting in. Like what if it doesn't stick? What if it's a chemical? Ugh! Nothing can be easy can it? I think I will feel better once I miss my period.

LOL.....I already told my DDs about it. My oldest is excited and my youngest still feels like she's my baby (she is of course). I just asked DD1 to count how many lines she saw on the hpt, she said, "Two! Does that mean you're having 2 babies?!" LOL She's not quite 5 yet. She's my funny one.

[Flava]

My 16 year old is the same way. I think some kids are just more maternal then others. DD1 sees the other kids as an inconvenience really, that messed up her life. there was a 9 year age gap and it didn't bode well for her to "lose" her parents attention. She refused to see DS2's birth and was full of attitude. We have 1 picture w/ her in the room after he was born looking like a sour puss. I don't think she ever held him. She's not happy about this pregnancy either, which it just so incredibly sad to me. Especially after the loss of her little brother. I told her she's better tread really lightly. Don't get me wrong, she's a good kid, just tells me all the time she never wants any.

WP - GL to you on the O.....go BFP.
Lola- you know I'm praying for you
Alexis - Such a Hooray from me on the BFP!!!

Same here DD1 is 6 years older the DD2 and she don't like her at all! And she can be so mean to the others. Yeah very nice...
It's not like she don't have to help out she just don't want to plus omg she is lazy. And they can't do acting up and talking back here we are not like that .But if I don't tell her to come do this and that she just on the phone , computer , Upad and so on.

[Flava]

Alexis congrats!!!!!


AFM - have had a rough day today and need some prayers that everything is going to be ok. Found a large lesion on dd's scalp... took her to dr today and 3 different drs checked it over and they said it looks like a ketosis but they have never seen a child with this before. It has literally appeared and grown in less than gosh, 5 months. We have been referred to a specialist for Monday to rule out anything sinister. Please pray for her, she is only 8. I am terrified :'(

OMG OMG I really hope it's nothing serious! poor babyI really dont know what is that but hope they can take care of it , fast.

[Flava]

Hi ELP!!
Alexis- for 10 dpo that's a normal line ! Some ppl dont get any at 10 dpo so it ok!

[begonia]

Oh TTC5 I can imagine how scared you are, poor Mama!!! Definitely will be praying for her. Please do keep us posted, big BIG hugs to you and her right now. When is the next appointment? Soon I hope.

Alexis, you're TOTALLY PREGNANT!!!! Whoooo hooooo! Try not to fret much; think positive and nourish that bean. Did you have any ms with the girls? FX you have none this time around! Can't believe you told them, LOL! I still haven't told mine. Still have a flat belly, once I start showing I'll tell.

My appointment today was FAB!!! Super wiggly little one, loved loved loved seeing that. No nub that I could see which made me super happy; I'm really cool with a surprise so don't want to be obsessing. DH got to come and we both left with just the stupidest grins because there's nothing like seeing the baby, and I know you all know what I mean. So far the measurements point towards a normally developing babe so that is great too! And I totally heart my OB. We were just chatting and at one point DH referred to the baby as "she" and the OB was like "already planning on a girl, huh? You never know! I see opposites all the time!" which was sweet. And then he also said "but of course my wife is the youngest of 4 girls, so that happens too!" LOL. I'm just so thankful that right now I really don't have a preference. I really hope that sticks around because it is a great feeling... my prayers for this baby all along were that it would be the perfect fit for our family (I didn't ask for a boy bc I figured God knows that anyway, LOL!), and that we would feel OK with either gender, and I feel good that both of those will come true.

Oh my Flava I just saw you're 7 DPO, so you're getting to be like 3 weeks out from your attempt?!?!

[LolaInLove]

Hey everyone! I hope no one minds my giant solo posts....I find it clogs up the thread less and I just jot notes down so I don't forget. I am a huge nerd.

3PNB, I totally loved that book. LMAO sort of read. Def recommend. I also loved "Inconceivable" by Julia Indichova, it was beautifully written and talks about her successful quest to beat the odds and her sky high FSH and conceive naturally. She went from being like 40 with an FSH so high that every IVF clinic in town wouldn't touch her unless she used donor eggs to conceiving her child naturally 8 months later. She changed her body with food and yoga and mental attitude. VERY inspirational to those who are dealing with infertility. It's what made me want to just take all the healthy supps and eat a more high-nutrient diet as opposed to the high-sodium, etc.

Begonia, SWEEET girl, glad your scan was lovely! I hear you about not wanting to obsess....again, I say, you are the epitome of calm, cool, and collected swayer. So nice that you love your OB also, that is great!!!

Iluv, you are so right on about teens, and teaching children from the get-go about who's in charge. I bet you are a fantastic mom! And know what, I do see a very valid point in not wanting to know any more about what happened with DS2. It may be better to just chalk it up to awful circumstance than know it was some thing that you will forever obsess about going wrong. Do you guys want to sue your doula? Seemed to me from your post that you didn't want to....will the State automatically do so in a case like that? I am SO glad you are feeling hope and joy from this new bean, and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for a perfect pregnancy and delivery.

That goes for all of you, really!!!!

And TTC5, with your girl for sure! I hope all is OK!!! How scary......will def be thinking about you, hun. XOXOXOXOXO

ELP, hope you have fun all snowed in and dont' get cabin fever, LOL! Thank you for the luv!

Alexis, A LINE IS A LINE AND MEANS YOU ARE PG! Don't worry about the darkness.....like everyone said, that kind of line on a 10dpo FRER is perfect. Don't worry about that at all! Congrats again!

Flava, LOL I hate those ICs but I think you are right, they are a good addition again for me at this point. Can't wait till you start ttc....

As for moi: I am ovulating today! Send me some preggo vibes, ladies! Thankfully, we have been dtd every other day, and tonight is our "on" night anyway, so planning on doing the whole 9 again. I REEEEEAAAAAALLLLLYYYYYY want a May baby also, it would be perfect timing for our family and my job!

[3Pink1Blue]

Lola- sucks your ex is being a jerk to your girls, glad they have your dh to love them girls and all. We've yet to talk to bil but I'll bet he's none to happy either. I'm afraid if we have a boy they will try again despite having any way to support these kids. Such a train wreck.
Yay for Oing today, sending all my baby dust your way!!

B- my girls are all way into little ones, but I'm afraid I'm this time will be different if we hear blue.
I say this with love but screw you and your flat belly I'm huge I'll post a pic later.
So glad your little one put on a show, so much nicer then a peaceful babe! FX your lack of preference remains. I was doing great till a few weeks ago now my heart screams "it's a boy". Unreliable piece of crap Lol It's even worse now knowing bil is having a girl and exactly when we'll be finding out.
TTC5- positive thoughts and love to you and your dd

Alexis- that's a great bfp for 10dpo! I love finding out early but hate the wait till af arr, it somehow deosnt feel real till you're good and late.


Told the girls when we'd be finding out and dd1 burst into tears, there isn't a doubt in her mind it's a boy and she doesnt want a little brother. I have a friend who had a girl and then 4 boys, if it is a boy and she's still upset I think I'll recruit her for help. Her sons are very sweet and well behaved so I hope her daughter will tell mine good stories about having brothers. This is going to be a very long 29 days (not that I'm counting lol) if she cries every time anyone says anything. Secretly dh and I are thrilled she's so sure, she's never been wrong!

[3Pink1Blue]

Here's my bfp, frer @ 12 dpo. Hope this makes you feel more confident that your line is great!
