8 dpo testing for kicks
dudette, I just took a closer look at your pictures- you are SO pregnant!!!!!
EEEEEEEEKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
I so hope so!Tested today 9 dpo and stark white bfn..
I still think it's a positive...sorry! Maybe your urine wasn't AS concentrated as the last one was. You are still early, and I still have high hopes for you! Test again tomorrow, and upload it.
Laine-
Eh don't worry so much about the disgusting scene that your doctor will be witnessing tomorrow. It won't take long, and I personally think pooping on the delivery table is worse, but that's just me! Then again, I'm at the point where I don't care what has to happen to get a baby bundle of joy!
What time is your appointment? Do you know how long the appointment is? I hope you get the clear for clomid. How many days will you be on it? Is it like a 8day stretch and then you ovulate? Does it affect the outcome of OPKs? So many questions, I'm sorry!!
Being in the TTW sucks. And to make it worse, I don't know when I ovulated because of the messed up results on my OPKs. Do you think I should go by Saturday or Friday? Regardless, I got the confirmation that my HCG test strips will be here by Wednesday. I'm sure I will start testing the moment they are dropped off. Just because I am THAT ridiculous. I want it so bad, that I know I'm going to imagine vvvv faint lines. Keep me sane ok? I will upload pictures no matter what I think or don't think I see.
Alright, I washed EVERYTHING in my house today.. clothes, sheets, towels etc. Time to drag Patrick up to bed!

morning! I go in 30 minutes for my appointment- Im crossing ALL my digits that there are no cysts!!!
as for Clomid, from what I know, I will be on it on cd5-10 and then approx 6 days later I should O. I dont think it affects the outcome of OPKs (will ask) but I DO know that since I will be on progesterone gel after O that my BBT will be much higher than normal so not to read too much into that.
I also scheduled my follow up HSG from the last surgery which is next Monday. That will tell the doctor if he thinks everything looks hunky dory which he said he is 99.9% sure it will be. (I like those odds)
That is Hilarious about testing on Wednesday, you are a scream. I am looking forward to your tests too!!
also you posted: "Felt a couple twinges last night while laying in bed. Woke up this morning thinking that I had gotten my period SUPER early, but nothing. Now I have some cramping. Nothing too bad, but I'm trying not to be concerned. I'm pretty sure it's too early for implantation, if we even caught the eggie"
DUDE. When I was pg last time, we BD on a sunday (only time we Bd'ed that month since DH had been away) and on Tuesday I started feeling kinda off, tired and crampy and by Wednesday the cramps had gotten worse (only really on the right side- the side I had Ov'd) and I was afraid it was another cyst so I scheduled an OB appoint for the next day, and on Thursday I started getting a little nauseated in the am.
when I went to the drs that afternoon, they did an u/s which showed nothing other than my appendix apparently looked 'strange' and by that evening, the cramps were SO bad and were localized mostly to the right side but were soft of under my belly button too. I was SO nauseated that I called my DR who was on call at the hospital and they told me my appendix might rupture so I went to the ER. they ran a bunch of tests, (including pg) and they couldnt find anything wrong with me other than really low potassium levels which they corrected..
I tested first 10 days after the day we had BD and it was negative but 5 days later I poas and it was positive. (which makes that around 15dpo) SO I started feeling it on what I Assume was 3dpo. WHICH is what you are now si??? so it could be something, I believe that! I know they always say implantion happens from 6-12 dpo but I know what I felt. it may not have been implantation but it was doing SOMETHING. I have a VERY expensive hospital bill to prove it!!
I would assume you O'd on Saturday for the sake of when AF might show up but I have a feeling it wont be this month!!! OOooooooo giiiirrrrllll...
Im crossing my fingers AND toes for you friend!!!
best Tuesday EVER!
OK! so NO CYSTS!!! HORRAAAAYYYYY!!!!
(my band of merry men)
Dr said they looked perfect and SO I start the Clomid on the 8th!!!
as in TOMORROW kids!!! HORRAY!!!
and he didnt do the u/s himself, he had a resident doctor in (lady doc) who did the actual thing and he just looked at my ovaries- THANK GOD.
Ive never had anyone do something to me down there during my AF, such a weird feeling. yuckers...
SO I am very VERY happy today.
ps. Thanks Em for asking me about the effects of Clomid on OPKS cause it turns out it does and can give a false positive if read too early so I need to wait 5 days after my last dose to start testing. Thanks for that love!
I second that!!!
I'm so excited for you, I could just hug you! Why the heck do we have to live so far away from each other?? Alright, so do you need to have an ultrasound done every month to check for cysts, before clomid? Not like it matters, because this is your month! Ever since we started talking, everything is going so well with you!! Keep thinking positively, I swear I think that helps!
Good thing you asked about the OPKs and clomid. Wow, that would have worn you and Duncan out! haha imagine BDing for 12-14days straight! It might have been ok when I was like 18! - but for me, now? FORGET THAT! Have you decided if you are going to "get it in" every other day of your fertile period, or everyday?
Let's get preggo the same month, and have our kids be pen-pals...then when they are 18, they will meet and fall in love. Awwww Noah and Lucy, sounds good together right!??!?!?!
Thanks Lady!
I really want us to get our BFPs together- that my dear, would take the cake!
Noah and Lucy- ♡ it!
so right about the OPKs, that would not have been funny if I had somehow missed it, can you imagine?!
I have a follow up u/s next friday to check and see how the follies are coming along/check my lining so (fingers crossed) that this works!!
if this cycle doesn't take, we are going to either try one more month of Clomid (possibly pair it with IUI) or move right on to injections and IUI.
Dr says the U/S will give us a good idea of how well my body responds to Clomid and we can figure out from there what to do in the nxt cycle (if we need to!)
you are right that things are looking up, I am trying hard to be positive. I really think the yoga is helping me stay sane, plus I feel like we are FINALLY moving forward. We've done a lot at this point to get pg, so I figure at some point something has to give.
SO! I am feel jazzed! no one to celebrate with! (my doggie- she wants a walk) Im going to go and take her then watch bad tv tonight! (one tree hill- ooo the SHAME...)
Ill be back on later if you wanna chat!
btw Em, any more cramps?? any nausea?

I'm sure your u/s will be beautiful next Friday!!You have certainly taken all the necessary steps to get pg. So you are right, something has to give at this point. Yoga can keep you occupied enough to stay sane
Can you tell me what IUI is? Is that when they inject healthy sperm.. or when they fertilize your eggs with Duncan's sperm and inject them into you? I'm still learning all of this lingo, bare with me!
Nothing new to report here, aside from dirty dreams the past two nights. I remember both of them, which is so rare for me! Why now? Why can't they happen during my fertile period? Whatever I guess, just weird how I had them back to back nights. Cramping has subsided, still have a slight one every once in awhile. Oh.. and the HCG tests came in today, I've held back taking one. What is it with us and the urge to take them?? I just don't wanna see another negative. So sad.
I'll be around, I'll sign in here and there..you know what.. I have a gmail account too. Same as my yahoo email- just with @gmail.com at the end of it! We can talk to instant messenger

good for you holding back, Im sure it wouldnt come up positive now even if you were well on your way to a BFP so better to dave the little dudes... you should save them. even when you are pg you will want to test now and then, its so fun!
I say wait until at least 8dpo which is Sunday the 12th. (if you can) before then it would be quite rare for you to get one so soon. wait though, on the other pregnancies, what was your soonest BFP?
Dr said I dont have to take it with food but since I have such a sensitive tummy, I want to try to take it with my biggest meal (dinner)
