8dpo, looking for fellow testers!

[Webby]

I think I see a shadow on the cheapie. When are you testing again?

I'm not completely sure when I'm expecting AF but if I ovulated when I think I did then I'll be expecting anytime between Sat and Mon. If it doesn't come and I'm not pregnant then I didn't ovulate and it will be back to obgyn to get booster jabs to make me ovulate next cycle. So we'll see!

How's everyone else getting on?

I threw up breakfast at 6:50 this morning, and I rarely ever throw up. I'm thinking it might just be the new prenatals I'm taking since I'm still getting BFNs on cheapies.

 

[MEPride]

Sarah, I definitely see a line!!! Wait another day or two and see if it gets darker!!!

CanadianMoose, don't give up! It's still early and some women don't get a bfp until a couple days after AF is MIA!!!

Welcome, Webby!! I've got my fingers crossed for you! How amazing would it be to get that bfp on Christmas? I'd be scared to test that day in case it was a bfn.

AFM, I'm anticipating AF somewhere between Friday and Sunday. If I don't see her Friday I'll test Sat with a FRER. I won't test again if it's a bfn as those tests are pricey. But it's all I have at the moment and I've spent enough on tests... I don't want to spend more. Still not feeling anything out of my normal PMS so I'm 90% sure I'm out. But we'll see. That 10% of me is hoping I'm one of those people who won't feel symptoms until 6 weeks!

I'm testing tomorrow morning. No AF cramps and on an off dizziness and nausea. Weeing lots and excessive saliva. Boobs are a little sore. I'll be devastated if it's a BFN.

wishing you a BFP sarah, send us the pic eh?

 

[Webby]

MEPride it sounds like you and I are due AF round the same time, though I'm now starting to doubt myself if I even ovulated and feel still for getting my hopes up. I guess we'll see.

Canadian - hoping the throwing up is a good sign rather than anything else. When are you going to test again?

Sarah, holding out all my hope for a bfp!!!

I got my BFP!!

YAY!!! way to go sarah! this is your #1 yeah? congrats!

still getting BFNs here but I'm glad someone who's been trying for o long gets their much deserved BFP.

 

[Webby]

How many dpo are you Canadian?

Sarah, any major symptoms that are different from the norm? So so happy for you x

 

[MEPride]

YAY!!!! Congrats, Sarah!!!!! Time to celebrate with virgin dacquiries!!! Haha! Excellent news!


AFM, pretty sure I'm out! Low back was a bit sore this afternoon and now I'm starting to spot. But dang, AF is right on time. 14 days almost to the MINUTE I ovulated 2 weeks ago. My body was never this exact when I was on BC! Hahaha! Tomorrow I'm sure I'll be awake with AF kicking me in the uterus. Not too disappointed as I feel like I knew pretty early on this wasn't my month. Next month I begin clomid round #1 with 50mg.

But let's have someone else get another bfp! We gotta keep this good karma rolling!!!

Congrats again Sarah!!!

 

[Webby]

Ah sorry MEP. You sound like you've got a good attitude though and we'll keep rooting for you bfp!

I've had a rollercoaster of a day, this morning convincing myself I haven't ovulated, to getting excited because my nipples were tingling to then being convinced that I'm pre-AF because lower back is also sore and my cervix is low. However, I've realised tonight that if it's not a bfp this month and AF does come, that is still good news for me as it means that my body is working on its own which is a big step for me after having only two natural periods (which only consisted of spotting) this whole year! Insane. So, I'm now feeling quite positive (my emotions are a bit all over the place if you can't tell that already haha - maybe that's another pre-AF sign). Obviously if there's no bfp or AF I'll be completely bummed but at least I know there will be a plan to inject me with some exciting hormones in the new year...

This is the first thread I've been on where someone has got their bfp so I'm still feeling super stoked for you Sarah and hoping that there will another one!

 

[Pinky3]

Hi everyone, can I join? I'm 31, married almost a year and a half. Just started trying to conceive after having a hysteroscopy to remove a fibroid that could have impacted fertility. I still have 2 fibroids that won't affect fertility but could impact labor and delivery. Also just got off bc after being on since 17. Been taking various supplements including prenatal vitamins, probiotics, vitamin d, chaste berry/vitex, estrodim and most recently some vit b/folate complex. I have a slight mthfr gene mutation so I take folate, because I don't process folic acid well. I haven't had any crazy symptoms since coming off. I think ovulated a week ago based on my cm and if so I'm 7dpo. My chart says my thermal temp shifted and I can start testing tomorrow. I had a temp spike and I'm trying to decide if I should test or just check my temps.

Glad to meet everyone!

 

[MEPride]

Nice to meet you Pinky!! 7dpo is still super early for even FRER! As hard as it is, I would suggest waiting a few more days before testing. Did you just come of BC this last month?

 

[Pinky3]

I came off in Nov, thank God. And I will probably just keep tracking my BBT to see what happens. I thought I would have more severe symptoms coming off bcp but I think these supplements are definitely helping keep my body from freaking out.

I don't wanna psych myself out on the testing front. But it is exciting!

 

[Webby]

Welcome pinky. That's good that you haven't had too many symptoms coming off bcp. I came off nearly a year ago and my body has been screwed up ever since and my hormones were all over the place (I think those were mainly due to underlying issues, though, which was one of the reasons I went on bcp originally). Some women find their cycles go back to clockwork so I hope that's the case for you and that you're ovulation regularly etc. I agree with MEP about testing, maybe try and hold out a bit longer. Hoping it works for you first time

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks everyone. Yup this is our first and after 13 months of trying I'm very excited.

AF is actually due today so I'm still very early. Symptoms so far, heavy and full boobs, sensitive nipples, fatigue and getting exhausted over not doing much, some different twingey feelings in my ovaries, dizziness on and off and nausea on and off. But mostly still feeling pretty good.

I had a beta yesterday which was 67 and the nurse said that puts me at 4w 1d and I was 3w9d. Next blood test hopefully the 28th or 29th. Good luck to you all!

 

[CanadianMoose]

AF is due 26th or possibly 25th, so I'm past 11DPO (don't know when I ovulated for sure.) Probably going to use an FRER tomorrow morning so I can have a peace of mind when I drink at the party. It's good to see new ladies in teh forum and I hope you get some good BFPs for New years!
