<3 <3 LOTS OF LOVE & BFPS <3 <3 February Testing Thread

[ERosePW]

Radkat I'm just now seeing your post!! Omg, congrats! I wouldn't worry too much about the lines (I know, easier said than done). A good friend of mine had NO line at 13dpo. Her line didn't show up at all until the day she missed AF, and it was really faint to where she had to have her DH tell her if she was imagining it. She now has a three year old son. She said even with her older son, she didn't get a bfp until she had already missed AF.

Sis, I know I said it on the other thread, but congrats to you again. I'm loving these BFPs ladies! Keep 'em coming!

Ok, I have no idea what's going on now. Yesterday I had sort of light brown spotting and a little red spotting, ok more than spotting, enough for me to be certain it was a period. Overnight, nothing, today some light brown stringy spotting. I started a new FF chart and all, with a whopping 9 day luteal phase last cycle (and that's only b/c I manually adjusted my O day, otherwise would have been 8). Before I was going to have a nice, depressed, glass of red wine, decided to POAs again this evening as no massive bleed yet and only DPO 11. Hubby agreed, not dreaming that there is a faint line on the Wondfo. I'm thinking it is a chemical if anything.

Oh wow, Driving! Don't assume the worst, you're only 11dpo! I'm gonna hope for early pregnancy spotting, and maybe your temp will rise again tomorrow. Maybe your Prog is just low, causing the temp drop. I've seen others who've gone to their Dr and got P supps, and their temps got right again, and everything turned out just fine! Have you ever had it tested? Can you get into your Dr for a quant? The other ladies would know this stuff better than I would, but for now, I'm gonna say congrats Hun. How dark is the line?

 

[Sis4Us]

Driving I would hold out hope I would say it was IB and your line gets Darker!!!

 

[Wish4another1]

Driving!!!!!!!!!!!! My FX for you girl!!! Erose could be right it might be IB bleeding!!! how exciting!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Woohoo Driving and Radkat!! And of course, Sis, and Clare1974 for that matter! You ladies are rocking February.

Can't stay long, but I did schedule my HSG for this Friday. I'm happy about that, and hope it goes well. It's at 11am. I'm a little nervous only because I don't know what will happen, but something is better than nothing! I'm drinking a glass of wine now.

 

[Sis4Us]

Sounds good Terri it shouldn't be to Bad!!!

 

[ttcinseattle]

Yippee, so much good stuff happening on the testing thread this month! This is what I've kept stalking for, hehe.

Driving, I wouldn't take a light positive on a Wondfo as a bad sign this early in your cycle. I'll link to a pic of my 11-13dpo tests, I posted this so people could compare Wondfo to FRER. As you can see, my first positive on the Wondfo is *barely* there. The FRER was light, but clearly positive. I'm crossing my fingers for you that you just got a nice deep implantation!! I had some stringy brown stuff at the beginning of my first pregnancy, and the result of that is running circles around me as we speak

Radkat, feeling really positive for you too! Hope those bloods come back looking great!

And Sis, not even worried about you The only thing I'm wondering is if you really did manage to conceive twins! Your tests are sooo positive!

Woohoo everyone! And still so much more testing to go!

 

[Kayotic]

Wow, congrats to a bunch of you!
I was going to try and respond to more but we have a massive ice storm about to hit Atlanta, and they are telling us to expect power loss for 3-4 days so I doubt I will be around.

Good luck guys!

 

[Sis4Us]

Driving - I'm thinking it was IB, esp if a 9 day LP is unusual for you. My IB was 8-10DPO. I had a BFN on 11DPO. Pos on 13DPO. Keep testing!

Seattle - Thanks for posting your tests. Mine is similar to yours on 13DPO.

ERose - Thanks for the encouragement. No witch yet, so that must be a good thing!

Terri - Hooray for the HSG getting scheduled! Good job being proactive. Enjoy your wine!

I find out tomorrow what the blood results are. They were also going to test my progesterone. Do you think that one dose of progesterone cream will show my P higher than it is? I guess the hcg # won't really mean much for one test, more about comparing it to the one 2 days later? Sooo, I'll have more info on Friday.

 

[Sis4Us]

Radkat they should still be able to Compare #s to your DPO I think there is a chart they go by!!!
FX your numbers look good and I'm glad they did the P too incase u need some Support!!

I'm so glad I find out the same day I would go Nutts!!

 

[Sis4Us]

Kayotic Take care and stay Warm I have Family over there And they said its suppose to get Bad!!!

 

[ttcinseattle]

Seattle - Thanks for posting your tests. Mine is similar to yours on 13DPO.

Then I'd say congrats are definitely in order for you!!! My 13 dpo test was when I was finally reassured enough to tell DH. I wouldn't think that one dose of progesterone cream would be enough to make your levels appear higher in your blood work than it is naturally. Sorry you have to play the waiting game for the next couple of days with the doc, but I would say that you have nothing to worry about!

 

[Katie Potatie]

Eeeee! I know I keep saying that but there's so much excitement on this thread!

Older--Happy Belated Birthday!

Kfs1--Happy Current Birthday!

(P.S. I think the only reason we aren't jumping for joy about turning another year older is mainly linked to TTC. I have no qualms about getting things plucked, sucked and tucked to make me look younger, but unfortunately our eggs don't respond to Botox for anti-aging measures! BUT... we are so lucky to live in a world with such great medical technology to assist us with any issues in conceiving!)

Sis--I for real don't think you have anything to be concerned about with this BFP! What an amazing line! I'm excited for your blood test tomorrow and interested to see what the levels are and if it may indicate twins??

Radkat--I'm soo excited for you, too!!!! Did you say you were getting a blood test done tomorrow, too?

Driving--Another big congrats!! And I have to concur with the other ladies, based on when you have the spotting and the amount, it seems like it could very well be linked to implantation bleeding. I'm not one who likes to throw out the implantation bleeding explanation randomly, but I think it's very probable in your case!

Terri--Now, what is an HSG test? Man, this last cycle of yours really had everyone on a roller coaster ride! Very interested to hear what you find out from the doctors.

Wish--Good luck with the progesterone cream. Sounds like it is the right move for you and glad to hear that you're taking the bull by the horns and doing it. (Now that I just read that last sentence, I realize it could have a completely different connotation. but you know what I mean!)

 

[Katie Potatie]

And Kayotic... I hope the weather is not too hard on you. You folks in Atlanta have really gotten the short end of the stick this winter for being a Southern State. Stay warm and safe!

 

[MomOf3Girls]

Congrats to Claire, radkat, and sis!

Driving ~ FX for you that this will be it!

Sis ~ Good luck with your beta tomorrow!

 

[Katie Potatie]

Okay, on a completely self-serving note, I think I'm already gearing up to ovulate...or already have. I never expected for it to happen so soon after just stopping bleeding from the chemical a couple of days ago.

For those of you who have experienced a camel call, and unfortunately, it seems like a lot of us on this thread have, how soon did you ovulate after the bleeding stopped?? I mean, this would be my "normal" time for ovulation on a regular cycle, but I just assumed that it would begin later due to the chemical. I will do an OPK test tomorrow to see what's going on, but my physical symptoms are pointing in that direction.

I had already decided to hold off on TTC this month, to allow my body to regulate again...but also, on a far-fetched note, because the baby would be a Scorpio if I miraculously got pregnant this month...and it's my "arch nemesis" of the zodiac. Yes, I'm completely crazy, but I also do believe in astrological compatibility. Geminis and Scorpios are like oil and water. Ask my ex-boyfriend! Lol Anyway, the point of that long diatribe is that my husband is out of town this week so if I am ovulating, we wouldn't have a shot at it anyway.

But any input on the ovulation thing after chemical would be very much appreciated!

 

[ttcinseattle]

Katie, you crack me up! I guess you must be right though, it seems fate is making sure to keep the Scorpios out of your life at all costs

As for O, I O'd at the regular time for my cycle. The loss from my chemical happened so early, I actually started AF 1 day earlier than expected, and then O'd as normal from that date. It seems when people have later chemicals it messes with their cycle more. I can't remember where you were in your cycle when you had your loss, but based on this I'd guess AF came right about when it would have been due anyway?
