2013!!!!! January Testers!(140) (40) BFPs! 9 Angels Come find a Buddy today!!!!

[MilosMommy7]

With my daughter I started testing at 5dpo. At 7dpo I got a line, but barely anyone saw it in the picture. Even my OH said he didn't see it in person. But I knew it was there. At 8dpo I got a bfn. Nothing came up on edits and saw nothing in person. Then 9dpo got another bfp. And then one on 10 and 11dpo. Even then, those ones were still really light. Fingers crossed for you

 

[lizlovelust]

thanks, but I think im out, cramps are slowly starting af wil probably show any min. I actually thougjt it might have been my month but guess not...

 

[Tower6]

Temp went up... Bfn on dollar tree test. Hmmm
I made it to 10dpo and cd 25 so I think I'm out.
If kel is right then I'm 8dpo but that would mean even more that I'm a bfn cuz we definitely missed O day in that case... Errr

Good morning ladies!

 

[Tower6]

Nvm I guess I made it to cd 23 not 25 it's just the 25 th and ff has my cd1 too early soooooo that could explain the bfn... Sad

Sorry liz.. If it makes you feel any better I think I'm right there with u any day now

 

[DBZ34]

I'm totally open to any info I can get though- what makes you think that? That would mean I totally missed too aggghh

Sorry Tower! Just by looking at your temps, cd15 looks more like o day to me. Although I see the problem with the bd pattern Your lp would not change though. If you have a 9 day lp, then it will be 9 days whether you o on cd13, cd15 or cd20! The lp only starts counting once you o! Gl and I hope the B6 works for you!

Don't apologize at all- I always appreciate and input wether its what I want to hear or not at times, I'd still prefer any honesty over anything
I don't know what to think of the LP thing because idk how to describe it but my cd being 24-25 is why I say the lp would shorten- because what we've noticed now is that my cycle is 24-25 days wether I O on day 10 or 16 meaning that I don't always get a stretch of lp depending on O. In November I O'd 6 days before my AF. So it started the same day af was due even though O came super super late. Does that make sense? It's not normal but I just mean does how I'm
Describing my fertility issues make sense? Lol

Nvm I guess I made it to cd 23 not 25 it's just the 25 th and ff has my cd1 too early soooooo that could explain the bfn... Sad

I'm not sure I know what you mean, Tower. I agree with FF for your ov day, actually (or I might put it earlier at CD11). There's a pretty clear temp shift, even if you took your temps at different times than you usually do. Sometimes, after ov, it can take your temp a day or two to really shift, but the rise after CD13 is pretty clear.

Did AF come today or something? Why do you think your CD1 is early? Didn't AF come on the 3rd?

Have you talked to your doctor about a Luteal Phase Defect? B6 and B12 can help, but sometimes progesterone is needed to help make it longer. But your LP shouldn't change by more than one day on either side and your cycle should change accordingly...are you sure you ov'd when you think you did in Nov?

 

[echo]

I agree with DBZ, Tower. The LP doesn't change much, and always reflects the period from O to af. The period before that is what changes (the follicular stage). And why does FF have your cd1 wrong? If you entered the date incorrect, you can fix it so your chart is right. If you are taking B6, you can lengthen your luteal phase, but your whole cycle will also be longer, not the 23-25 days that you are used to.

 

[Tower6]

I started the 3rd and have a 25 day cycle so I was supposed to start on the 28th ff said. But then when my O happened a few days earlier than expected it moved me to starting today. So shouldn't I still expect the 28th to be officially late rather than today?

 

[Tower6]

I am takin b6 daily. The Dr said she doesn't want to start progesterone yet :/

 

[echo]

FF is only guessing. It will continue to adjust its guesses based on the information you feed it each cycle. FF moved your af approximation based on the fact that you o'd later, but if you are also taking B6, then your lp will lengthen and go past FF approximation. FF will continue to evolve with the more data you give it. Usually, depending on the person, your first month on B6 should increase your lp by maybe 2 days, or so I've noticed with other people. Since you do have the signs of Luteal Phase Defect, I would make an appointment to get all my hormones checked if I were you. Thyroid, progesterone, lh, estrogen, prolactin, the whole deal. DBZ is right, you might need the progesterone.

I think I see what u mean- on my calendar page ff says today as cd 1 for new cycle so I thought I was late as of today. Not my previous cd1, but I really don't think that I'm
Late until the 28th, but either way I should be showing a positive by today based on O day or the days until AF

 

[Tower6]

I see what you mean, thank you! I actually O'd 3 days earlier this cycle so I was really excited to get to 10 dpo because that's huge for me but something just feels off, I was super excited but I just feel like there's seething that's not
Lining up for us

 

[LacyDaze]

Dpo 12 today. Still a bfn for me. I feel sooo sick though. Perhaps I caught the bug that is going around? AF is due Monday.

Good luck to everyone!!

This lady right here had a BFP on Jan 17th Overall 5 BFP with urine tests, including the one at the doctor. Bloodwork was done Jan 21 but levels weren't where they'd like to see so I go back next week to verify. But as of right now I was told to assume I am PREGNANT!

 

[lizlovelust]

no af still but cramping and diahrea not feeling too great

GRATS! Wonderful news!

Yep, I agree with echo. FF is still trying to figure you out. Even on mine (and I've been using it for 19 cycles) the pink probable cd1 day is off sometimes. Don't go by that. Just go with your body. FF will figure it out eventually.

I don't think you should see positive today anyway. A short LP means that it's harder for an egg to implant and start producing HCG & progesterone before you start your period, which is why you need to lengthen it. But, even with a short LP, you still shouldn't see a positive test until 10-12DPO (and even later in some cases). Early BFPs happen, but not as often as you'd think.

The amount of time it takes an egg to go through your tubes is the same (around 6-7DPO) and then it needs a couple of days to attach and start implanting/producing HCG to hold off AF. With a short LP, the egg usually doesn't have enough time to do that, unless it attaches right away, but that doesn't seem to happen very often. So, that's why it's important to address the potential LP defect, which you are.

So, don't be discouraged at a BFN. You still have time and if the B6 works, your LP will lengthen and give your eggy more time to get settled in for the long haul. Here's hoping you'll see that BFP.

Af due sunday. I just tested and got a bfn ofcourse. I am 13dpo. Feeling like im out

 

[Tower6]

With my second daughter I didn't find out until I went to the doc at 8 weeks cuz I tested neg for so long and had bleeding. And my 3rd I O'd during the end of my period.. Ihave never had early bfps So I'm trying to keep the hope that I'm still in as long as there's no AF! Thanx so much for all the help!

Af due sunday. I just tested and got a bfn ofcourse. I am 13dpo. Feeling like im out

We've been the same test & expected AF dates this month, do you have a chart?
