You're not out til the witch appears...you're still above your coverline and doing well IMO. My temp isn't anywhere near as high as it was post O last cycle, but it's still elevated, so I'm happy.

You're not out until AF shows! We still have a few days to go!! FX for you

haha that's good!! I did my first test (10dpo) with an IC dipstrip and thought it was negative. Then I saw online that the lines on those are usually really faint, so I took it back out the bin to check again and both me and hubby thought we could see something really faint! Hubby went to work and I was just sitting there thinking, am i or am i not?? So I HAD to run out to the shop to get a better test and it was positive!! But I still didn't want to believe it, just in case! Then I did another test 2 days later and a CB digi 2 days after that!
And that's when I finally relaxed and believed I was actually pregnant!! haha

Now I usually just test and if I think there's a line I do a CB digi and then that's it! haha.

I see so many girls testing after they're pregnant to see if the lines progress and things like that, but I think it just causes unnecessary stress to be honest! (sorry if you do that too! Each to their own ofcourse, but I don't do it) I only tested again once I already knew I was pregnant last time because I started bleeding and wanted to see whether it was still positive (or as dark) so I could prepare myself for what the ultrasound was gonna say.

I wouldn't test more than the first day/ two days. I took the two FRERs in the box and then a digi first thing the next morning that said Pregnant 1-2 weeks and I stared at it for a super long time with a grin on my face. Kept glancing at it until the screen shut off. I never felt the need to pee on any more tests, even though I am a POAS addict. Speaking of which, I wanna pee on a stick already hahaha! Hurry up and get here, next week.

Hung out with the donor last night and he asked when we were going to try again, told him in a month if it didn't work and he got all pouty hahaha. Guess he gets more action when I am trying

Also- I don't think you're out! You are above the coverline still Hopes up hunny, my fingers are crossed for us all

 

[Eltjuh]

My cervix is so low and hard aswell :S I really have NO idea what to think this month!!

Can't wait to test! Sunday is the day!!

How have you been today??

 

[Naaxi]

Some womens' cervixes stay low for weeks even after a bfp. I need to distract myself, I am cleaning my house today, even though there is a blizzard outside and I am usually need warm fresh air to clean. But I am super symptom spotting so need a mental break lol.

 

[Eltjuh]

I know, I'm really bad! Keep changing my mind, going from I'm pregnant to there's no way I am!! It's mental, you just go crazy!!

I don't think I'll be able to hold out till sunday. Especially cause I'm gonna be getting up early on saturday and hubby will still be asleep so I can hide it from him haha. Surprisingly enough he still doesn't think I'm crazy (or so he says anyway).

 

[Naaxi]

Eek I know what you mean! I'm always going between being soo certain I am pregnant and being certain that there is no way. I am going nucking futs and it is only 5dpo. I have felt several twinges today and even felt one from the outside. So if my uterus is just gearing up for AF then it is being super rude. Lol.

If I am pregnant, I wanna tell my mum on Easter Probably going to make LO a shirt.

 

[Eltjuh]

My temp went up again today so i'm quite happy about that, though i know it might not mean anything!if i'm pregnant i'm gonna tell my parents on my dad's bday. Told my mum on her bday that she'd have to wait 9 months dor her present....that was with my son and she is absolutely crazy about him. Always taking pictures all the time! Probably also cause we live in the uk and they live in holland(where i'm from). But yeah it would be nice to be able to tell my dad the same thing, on his 60th birthday!

 

[Naaxi]

Aww, that would be amazing! And woo! Love that temperature spike See, you worried for nothing yesterday, it was just a one off I am going to be so mad at my body if I am not pregnant this month. It is being so tricky! I kinda wish I temped but I wake several times each night for LO and when hubby gets up around 5am and I can never remember to do it. I dunno. I'm going bananas though. I feel another day of cleaning in the works today to keep me distracted. Good thing my house is a sty. 6dpo, hurry up and become 11 or 12dpo so I can test already! Lmao.

How are you feeling today? Any symptoms?

 

[Eltjuh]

Nah, nothing really! Just a backache, but that's nothing out of the ordinary. Well, I don't have it all the time, but I do when I'm not sitting properly or standing/walking too long! Though it seems much worse now than normally...

Was really happy with my rise today, bout time after 5 days of dip! haha
Still not feeling very hopeful today though!

How bout you???

 

[Naaxi]

I know I am looking too far in to things but I still have the excess saliva, twinges and cramps in my belly, warm hands that was my first sign with my son, and today my nipples were on fire for a while. But DS had a playdate and didn't nurse as much as normal, so might be related. But if I am out this month, my body is a jerk. Dumb body. Our tummies should just change colours when we are preggo. Sigh. Oh! And bloated too

 

[Eltjuh]

I know it would be so much easier if you just had a light that went on as soon as you conceived. But I guess then we'd be sitting there staring at that from BD till AF haha.

I tested this morning, I was like: what the hell, why not!! BFN, was expecting it. Think there was a slight evap there. When I really squinted I thought I saw something, but think it didn't have any colour.
FX for the next couple of days. Nice temp rise again this morning though, so happy with that!! Last month my temp went down for AF at 10dpo so if it doesn't go down at 10dpo I'd probably get more optimistic.

 

[YoungANDHopin]

Im 4dpo today my hubby and I are trying for our first and hoping this cycle is the one i have sore nipples and back. never had this before could this be it? i also have dull little pains right between my hips and all over that area. Any ideas??

 

[Eltjuh]

Sounds really good! FX for you!! Feel free to join us here, for any advice or just a place to vent!

 

[SmplyBlessed]

GM ladies!

Welcome young

Question: I woke up this morning and thought it was 2-3a when really I discovered it was 7a (around my normal temp time) and I discovered this only after getting out of the bed. I decided to try and temp anyway. Okay, entered that on my app and went back to sleep... Just got over 4hrs consecutive sleep and temped again-it was much higher (the one from the am is my cover line) but I took it as I woke up, immediately without moving (as I normally do)... Which should I use?

 

[Naaxi]

Your temp spike looks awesome! Look how pretty I really hope this is it for you... hoping for triphastic chart for you! Heehee. I was sooo tempted to test last night, or even this morning. But 7dpo just isn't late enough haha. Would hate to see a BFN with my mood right now, and it surely would be.

Welcome YoungANDHopin! Those signs sound very promising! Best of luck to you! How long have you been trying for your first?

Hubby thinks I may be pregnant this cycle. He is sweet lol but he is supposed to be my voice of reason. He always is optimistic for me... I bet I could be on AF and he would say he thought I was pregnant if he thought it would make me feel better hahahaha. Woke up with some negative energy hanging about me. No longer feel it is my month and kinda pouty about it. DH is working overtime this weekend so I don't even get him to take my mind off it. And it would have been so nice to tell the fam for Easter. Sigh. Maybe I'll tell my bro next month for his bday at the end of April.

 

[Eltjuh]

Thanks (assuming you were talking about my temp??)
My hubby is my voice of reason, but it's kind of annoying sometimes... Whenever I ask him or talk about it he just says: we'll have to wait and see.... And I'm like: you're supposed to tell me what you think!!!
I didn't tell him I tested cause I know he's gonna say: 'I thought you were gonna wait till sunday?' haha But he knows I suck at waiting haha

Don't give up yet Naaxi (oops typed Naazi then x and z being next to each other is not a good thing when it comes to typing your name haha)
You're not out till AF shows, as you know!!!
Though I know how hard it is to keep being optimistic! I find it better to be down about it cause if you do get a bfp you can be extra excited and if you don't you won't be so disappointed!
When are you gonna start testing??




SmplyBlessed, not sure what temp you should put in... I've done that before but not known which one to put in either, so I just put the one in that I like best haha maybe research it, FF might have some info that'll help in their Q&A about charting.
Good luck!!

 

[Naaxi]

Sorry smply, I don't test so I don't know... I think it would be discarded, whichever you choose to use.

 

[SmplyBlessed]

Lol thanks ladies! If I go with the one I like best, that's a temp spike (98.04) for me... Hmm, that sounds great lol. I haven't had any symptoms of AF.considering she's due 03/26... Idk lol. Thanks for your responses.
