Yay for crosshairs texas!!! I hope your dd gets better.

Drum- you're testing soon right?

 

[blablamana]

Hurray for crosshairs Texas!
Sorry for your poor DD, that sounds awful!

Drum: As Smille said, when are you testing dear?

Bee: My previous bfp date is still up (jan 13th), could you remove that when you get the time (no rush).

 

[beemeck]

Mondays are my super busy days but I didn't want to read and run!!! CONGRATS blab!!! woo hoo!!!! those lines are looking GREAT

I'll try to check in properly later today!

 

[Conundrum]

Yay for crosshairs texas!!! I hope your dd gets better.

Drum- you're testing soon right?

2 more days if I don't get AF until then. I have been having shooting leg pains that usually signal AF is on her way soon but that has been for the last three days. Not sure if it is a sign or just the clomid.

Hello ladies. Hope all is going well.

Blabla- congrats on the BFP. I was checking my line every two days for progression. The change is way easier to see.

I just booked my ultrasound for 7 weeks which will be Feb 24 (my brothers birthday). I will be waiting impatiently until then. I have two crazy weeks of work ahead for me so I'm hoping it goes quickly.

Blabla: just seen your new BFP! Wow! Congrats I really hope this is your sticky bean!


Ugh! Taking a break from TTC is sooooo tedious I wish I could join in the fun! I got a very very positive OPK today, amazingly, as I'm only on CD12. Looks like early ovulation for me for a change. I shouldn't have taken one, as all I'm thinking now is how I wish My husband were here! We last dtd the day he went away last Tuesday, so no way those guys are still hanging around

Squirrel- Your break is almost over hun and sounds like your body is doing wonderful so next cycle is definitely your cycle! I believe there's a cloud of BFP raining over us now so I'm positive everyone will be pregnant so soon!

 

[campn]

Tex- Yah for CHS!! Happy and fast tww to you!

Drum- I'm so rooting for you drummie! Come on you BFP!

 

[Smille24]

Drum- I'm praying for you hun. I really hope it happens for you soon!

Squirrel- your hubby will be home soon. I know it's hard right now, but next cycle it's on!!

 

[blablamana]

Drum: I'll have my fingers crossed!
Squirell: He sweetie, thank you! Your hubs will be back soon and maybe after a month of rest, a super eggy will be released. And super sperm for him of course

I thought I'd offer some line porn, I'm quite baffled at how dark these are at 13 DPO, last time they never got this dark. At 15DPO FRER was still a humble light line last time. This Frer is already so close to the control line.. I hope that's good. Also, both came up immediately, before the control line. Last time I had to wait to see them develop after the control line.

Sorry for all the tests, I can't help myself right now. I'll post less pictures in the future, if I get a 2-3 I'll just say it instead of a picture

 

[blablamana]

I was gonna tell SO on Valentine's day.. Should I tell him tonight? He is already guessing that I'm going to say I'm pregnant that day and I flat out lied and said I'm definitely not pregnant. And now he feels really bad. :")

I'm afraid something will go wrong.. but.. Aargh. I don't know. Should I wait 5 more days? He's really beginning to notice that I'm in bed by 10pm and yawning all night.

Also, I should stop checking (aka poking) my cervix, yesterday night I accidentally nicked the skin around it (so not cervix itself) and completely freaked out at the tiny amount of pink in the white cm. I felt myself nicking it, so that was definitely it. Today I touched it again and a second there was a bit of brown white cm. Now back to white. Brrr, I'm not touching it again, but I'm so scared. PLEASE STICK

(sorry for hijacking the topic, wasn't my intention.. )

 

[Smille24]

Those are nice lines blabla

Hello ladies!
Mind if I join? I've been reading and lurking for a while just haven't posted on here yet.

Congrats to all the new positives! So excited and happy for you all. I never thought I could be so happy to see someone else get two lines on a test until I joined this site.

I hate to hijack the post but can any of you help me?

So I've been trying to keep myself sane and not go crazy with symptom spotting or anxiety during my current TWW.

But some weird sh!t is happening and I know my body and this is not normal. I can't figure out if I'm manifesting them by wanting this so much of if something is up.

List:
1. Seriously emotional. I mean like weeping over anything and everything. I had a normal email at work and promptly started to cry and then I called my co worker in a panic to explain the email. I'm sure he thought I was insane. Poor guy.
2. Loss of taste. This, this is weird. I've never had this before. I haven't tasted a single thing in 2.5 days. My husband made me some ginger tea and I asked him why he made it so weak and didn't add sugar. He looked at me like I had grown a second head. Seems it's so strong it burnt his mouth and he put 2 tsp of sugar in the small mug! All I could taste was warm water. We had General Tso chicken for dinner and it just tasted like burnt to chicken to me. He said it was just as delicious as always.
3. Bloating. You might not believe me. But I had to google this. I thought maybe I had eaten something my stomach didn't like. I know all about water retention before my period. But I didn't know what I was feeling in my stomach/abdomen area until I did a search. So yea, that's new two and nothing I've experienced before.
4. Creamy CN. Lots of it. Now. When usually I have none or very little sticky CM (sorry if its TMI) it's also what I would define as sweet smelling and not the usual acidic smell it would have right before AF.

It all sounds so incredibly encouraging until you hear that I took a test yesterday and today and both were negative.

So basically I'm sitting here confused and teary. AF is due tomorrow. I usually have 26 day cycles so I guess I'll see if she shows up. I just don't know why all the tests would be negative if I was pregnant with all these symptoms.

I feel like I'm losing my mind because I'm 100% sure I just wasn't ignoring all this stuff for all the years I've had my period but wasn't TTC-ing.

Anyone have any suggestions? Feedback? Ideas?

I'm going to cross post this into a few threads I'm on. Sorry if you see it a few times.

Thanks guys for any and all advice or help you might have and congrats again to all the new mamas to be!

 

[Conundrum]

Blab awesome lines. If you want to tell him early it won't be any less special. Congratulations again

Smiley how are you doing? MS a bother?

Baby, welcome. You're not out until you get AF, so it could go either away. What brand are you testing with?

 

[BabyForIris]

Thanks Conundrum. I've used 3. All negative. One FRER (Saturday) one clear blue (Sunday) and two cheapies from the dollar store Monday and this morning.

I figured I would save my FRER until tomorrow or Thursday if AF doesn't show up.

 

[Conundrum]

Baby it could have been too early for the frer to pick up and the sensitivity on the other two may require more HCG. Not trying to get your hopes up, but you may be. If not there will always be next cycle and you're more than welcome to stay here for it.These ladies are the best you will find FX and wishing you tons of luck

 

[blablamana]

Hi Baby!
I'm sorry you have to wait and feel so different. Just know that even though a lot of ladies on B&B seem to get their bfps at 9 DPO, it is not late to get your bfp after a missed period. It just really, really, REALLY, differs per person.
How long have you been trying?

Also, as Drum says, you're very welcome to stay either way


Drum: Thank you! I'll be telling him tonight, can't wait any longer. Just did a cassette like yesterday half an hour after the last wee, just clear urine not concentrated at all.. and it was just as dark as yesterday's with FMU.

I just talked to the obstetrician, she was so kind and booked me for an early scan March 1st (7 weeks pregnant). So happy, I didn't even have to ask for it!

 

[Conundrum]

Blab Let us know how it goes! Only a few more weeks and you'll be getting some very nice pictures!

 

[BabyForIris]

Thanks Blab! Just hoping and praying I'm not making this stuff up in my head! Promised myself I'll test tomorrow or thursday if AF doesn't show up. FX until then!

P.S. So glad youve decided to tell your hubby today. I don't know how you have held out so long. I would have spilled those beans right away. Congrats again! Let us know his reaction.

Thanks Conundrum. Its ok I'm not fixated on it having to be a positive. I accepted this was something for once in my life I only have so much control over. I'm just confused by the crazy symptoms. I'll test again with a FRER if AF doesn't show up.

Thank you for all the kind words and welcome. And yes I will stick around for sure!

Blabla- I had every intention of surprising my dh with something cute, but seeing those lines made me shaky and I couldn't think clearly. I was in complete shock.

Drum- I think it's starting. I woke up really queasy and I'm trying to eat but it's so difficult because I know I'm going to get sick. I had HG with my dd and I'm dreading the possibility again, but as long as peanut is healthy I'll deal with anything.

Baby- I agree, you aren't out until af shows. Every month ttc, my symptoms changed but after so long you just ignore them. Fxd for you.
