Smille, any update on you?

Bee, lady, you are not out until that witch shows. I will be there tomorrow, testing with you, and if this cycle ain't ours, then the next one will be! And like Camp, I was sure I was out with DS. I felt ok, nothing really that out of the ordinary and was sure the test was wrong. I was smoking and everything. I stopped the second I saw those two lines, of course, but I was sure I would be out too.

Still negative. ..grr. They have been sooo close to positive the last 3 days it's frustrating. I'll try to test tonight, but we are taking dd trick or treating. Idk if I can manage to dtd tonight if it is but if it's not I'm taking a break. I am so crampy and miserable I just want to O already.

Wooohoo can't wait to see some bfps tomorrow!

Both times I had pregnant cycles I had the dreams of bfps. only time I ever had that fxd its a good sign!

Feeling blah over here. Yesterday was a really good day and today back to borderline nausea and tired. Ugh. Would rather play every other day though than everyday for sure.

Wow, you can almost safe on pee sticks with the dreams

Loving the new name of the thread but, it threw me off when I went to look for the Oct thread lol.

Jaxie, so sorry Hun

Rooting for all you girls tomorrow!

Soooo...I finally tested today and sadly, stark white FRER. My only question is, I tested with very obvious diluted urine. Could this affect the test? I have another test so if no AF tomorrow, I'll test again earlier.

I found the older FRER's at Targer today. 2 tests, $8.99 with a $1 coupon for immediate use.

YES! Definitely! You're so early on that not much hCG is there yet. Test with darkish urine, first morning urine, but if you've been holding your pee a few hours that could work. Pee in a cup and if you see it's light then dump it and try later! Fx for you!!

Pacific no way! I just figure I'm nuts. I definitely expected bfn when I got my bfp this time. Thought it was wishful thinking in my dreams

What do we think ladies? 10am looks positive to me.

 

[jGo_18]

looks pretty positive or close to, to me, ciz!!

see this is where i'm confused. my doc was ADAMANT that i needed to do only ONE opk a day and that it should be around 2p everyday. She said never earlier than noon. and she lectured me at length about not testing more than once (as i admitted to testing 4 times a day during my typical window).

but here - ciz is perfect proof - that idea is a bit flawed with lines like that popping up at 10a.

i've tested the last 3 days at 2p as instructed and i'm only getting real faint lines. usually by now i'm getting a bit more...
do i listen to my doc or do i go back to testing 2-4 times a day??

 

[ciz]

What 1 opk?? That's not right. Min should be at least 2. One early afternoon and evening and even then when I start getting darker I'd do more.

I don't usually do morning ones but I was getting ewcm today and remembered the lines being darkish so thought let's see.

But in all honesty just go with what you feel better doing. A lot can change within a few hours.

 

[jGo_18]

i tried to argue her - and i even said, i've had the positive come up first thing in the morning and i've had it come up at 6p. she said the only actual accurate time to do it is between noon-2p. she was a fertility specialist for many years before deciding to just be an OBGYN... so i'm sure she has some merit to what she's saying. but... it's pretty hard to believe when in previous cycles i've made a point to test with FMU, 10a, 2p, and 6p, and ended up with my positive outside that 12-2p window.

on one hand, i want to listen... because doing so many tests actually stresses me out and is kind of all consuming in that i'm constantly thinking about when the next time i can use the loo is and if i've held long enough and so on. but on the other hand, i'm pretty concerned i'm going to completely miss the positive only testing once a day.

 

[ciz]

Have you tried to just temp hun? Might be better solution if you find opk testing too stressful.x

 

[jGo_18]

i temp - but since that doesn't tell you that you've ovulated until after, it's doesn't really help me in terms of timing. i use a donor... so i need to know when my body is gearing up so i can plan the insemination. if i could just BD every other day from now until i confirm O (via temping) - i would totally go that route and just skip opks entirely. but... that's not how it works for me =(

Going to try again in the am as long as AF doesn't show. I'm on my third iced coffee already since I've been up since 4:30 so doesn't make sense to try again today.

 

[ajr1990]

So I started testing a few days ago.. *BADDDDDD me!* I have been getting faint lines and yesterday went in for a progestogen and hcg draw.. hcg was actually 1..ONE! Not officially pregnant in numbers but I have to say for 1, the lines are quite convincing. Crazy.
I am 8dpo today and tested this am and this evening and see lines on all tests, faint, but there. Still super early but I'm starting to get a bit excited as the pain in my back seems quite promising. This was this evenings test, https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=474749

this was this ams test, https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=474595

Again I know their faint and I know some won't see and that's ok. I def see them and I can't wait to test tomorrow and possible go in for repeat beta.

 

[mommyxofxone]

I've only ever done one opk a day. I read its more confusing doing two. I took mine at 4 cause I read 2-4 pm is the best time. So I just did it right before dh got home for dinner. With dd I had to test at 8 cause I worked weird hours

I think though if you are close, it's best to test more often then that.. several times a day other wise you would miss it. Some surges pass QUICKLY. My last one passed in less then 2 hours. If I would have waited 24 hours, I totally would of missed it

 

[ciz]

Opks are the most confusing sticks to pee on ever I think. I don't mean actually peeing on them just, just them in general like when should you test, how often, hold your pee, don't use fmu, is that line positive ahhhhhhhhh

 

[Trr]

I usually work evening shifts so I test before work around 2pm and when I get home around 11:30. I have gotten my line at 2pm every time and it was lighter in the evening

 

[campn]

Bee- I'm feeling like you right now, I feel like I'm out, I'm not excited about testing... This ttc stuff loses its charm fast. I don't why I feel so down suddenly!

I was just thinking the exact same thing. I'm not feeling it at all this month. I feel like I did last month. No real symptoms. Just more pessimistic then all the previous months when I could barely wait to test.

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

OH MY GOD. I have a faint line. It came up after a minute. I am terrified. Crap photo, but it's there, pink and it's faint. I am shaking...

Attached a new one.
