33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

Happy Mother's Day to you ladies, even if you aren't in the US!

ladders I saw your post about cd from yesterday(?) and freaked! I can't believe I'm that late in my cycle already- have been keeping busy and lost track! DH and I better get busy lol!

I had a stark white opk yesterday though so I don't think I missed O yet.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Thanks ladies! It feels good to know that I have O'd even if it is a late O. Hopefully the egg is good and ready since it took an extra week getting ready lol

Happycupcake, I understand completely. My dh is very laid back and says "it'll happen when it happens " this frustrates me even more because I keep telling him it won't happen if we don't dtd during the right time. It seems that no matter how much I explain it to him, he still doesn't understand that the egg can only be fertilized during a certain time of the cycle. We have 3 kids and he still thinks that dtd any time of the cycle will result in a pregnancy. I guess because we conceived the first 3 so easily. I don't know how he still thinks this because this is the 8th cycle of frequent unprotected sex and I'm still not pregnant lol because he seems to skip fw all together all the way till this current cycle, since I threatened to go back on birth control. So now he's more up for trying during the fw lol

Now the 2ww (or 3ww for me) begins...

Do you have a long lp then kim? When will you test?

I took this this morning. 10dpo what do we think?

 

[annio84]

I think there's a line. What does it look like in real life?

 

[JessyG]

Another one a few minutes later

 

[citrusfruit]

Reluctant to call it bfp just cos of what we had last month with cupcake, but looks very very promising! Again a month or two ago I would have said bfp for sure! There's definitely a line so as long as it is darker tomorrow then I'd say bfp. I'm thinking it probably is as I saw the line yesterday too but didn't want to say and give false hope so there's definite progression there! Got a good feeling. This thread is on fire!

 

[JessyG]

I think there's a line. What does it look like in real life?

There is definitely a pink line in real life but i am with citrus and reluctant to call it a bfp because of all the difgey tests recently.

 

[ladders]

Jessy that looks so promising! Let's hope it's contagious!

I'm still not getting a positive opk and starting to worry it's going to be late again with a stupidly short luteal phase. Starting to feel the stress rising!

 

[happycupcake]

Jessy, I would say positive if there is a line the same strength or darker tomorrow and continues until af is due. Usually I would have said definite positive, but as Citrus said I'm also reluctant purely because I saw faint lines with progression for a few days then they went blank. I think mine were unlikely to be evaps, I don't think you see progression with evaps.
However, I did test about 10dpo with my middle child and saw a similar line to yours but on a FRER. This progressed, obviously because he's here next to me! I think the problem with testing before af is due is you have more chance of detecting a chemical, but I'm sure this won't be the case with you.

Kim, I think we ought to start drawing diagrams or something, they may understand then... lol

 

[Daisies11]

I should be 5+5 today and starting to get some more noticeable symptoms. Still a fair amount of cramps/twinges, sore nipples and some nausea. We're on holiday now and went for breakfast this morning and the smell of all the cooked food was really not nice to me at all.

Sorry to hear about the tonsillitis & chicken pox anni, why does that always happen? We never just get one of us ill at a time, it's always 2 ill people to deal with!

Glad to hear ov happened Kim! And Jessy, I feel like I see something too. Fingers tightly crossed for you!

 

[happycupcake]

Jessy, I do hope you don't mind but I wanted to see what your test photos looked like inverted and greyscale. I also applied the magic wand thing on my iPad and it brought out your line nicely.
Your original photo first, the first photo you posted today which initially I couldn't tell, but turning it the right way I could see it, hopefully the upload won't distort the image too much. Will add the magic wanded photo after.
So first is your first photo inverted and greyscale, then your first photo with magic wand applied

 

[happycupcake]

This is your next photo you posted today, where the line was more obvious, first inverted, greyscale and then with magic wand applied

 

[happycupcake]

Also, it definitely looks pink. I'm super hopeful for you! I think you may be our third positive in this thread
You can see the line in your first photo today especially after I applied the magic wand. I think it got rid of some of the noise in your photo and brought it out more. With your next photos, where it's more obvious, how long after was that taken?

 

[JessyG]

Thamk you for doing that Cupcake! It was probably 5 mins later. Ill not get my hopes up and just test tomorrow and hope for the best.

Thanks for all the encouragement girls!

 

[happycupcake]

Ah so within the timeframe still. Sometimes faint positives do take a few minutes to show up clearer. Fingers crossed you see a darker line tomorrow! How about a FRER?

 

[JessyG]

May end up picking up a frer on the way home from my mums. U

 

[happycupcake]

I hope so, I'm so excited for you! Those tests certainly look good, do you know the sensitivity?

 

[JessyG]

I dont. Will check when i go home. It says you can get a positive up to 6 days before af is due though so i am guessing relatively sensitive. Ill def stop off and pick another up.

 

[happycupcake]

What brand are they? I would imagine they would be at least the same as First Response 12.5miu, possibly 10miu. I would think you should see a line on a FRER but if you don't, then I reckon you will tomorrow

 

[JessyG]

They were internet cheapies i have a couple left and will use one tomorrow so that i can check for consistency.
