Any one have to wait until after AF is late for a BFP?

[KLa826]

Thanks, Piece! I am going to the dr in an hour (Yikes!) to confirm...I have to pee but REFUSE to until I get there! Haha!

MrsD- Not sure what were real symptoms and what was in my head! Main things I noticed were sore boobs for sure (I usually have that shortly after ovulation but it ends before AF)- they are killing me now a good chunk of the time. Also- not sure if this was implantation or what but around CD 20(?) I had "AF" like cramping and later noticed three spots of red blood when I wiped after a simple number 1...Could have been from wiping with crummy TP when I was out earlier so who knows. 1 night I woke up with muscle cramping in my side...I've had cramps in my legs at night before, but never in my stomach/side. I may be TOTALLY over analyzing unrelated events and turning them into symptoms, though!
The main things I noticed were gasiness (lovely I know) and dreams. Saturday night I went to bed and said a little prayer for my body to give me some idea what was going on. In my dream, I took an hpt and it just said "NO." I figured that was my clue and decided to start thinking about next month. Monday night I had another dream where I took an hpt and it was positive...Got up Tuesday morning and got my faint, but there, BFP. Now I'm thinking the "No" was to keep me from testing before I would've gotten the BFP. Maybe I am WAY over valuing a dream??? Who knows!!!

Again - wish I could say that everything I experienced so far is completely new and different but there really wasn't anything (except the dreams) that made me thing "Ok maybe this means something."
FXd for you!!!!

Just got back from the dr... Confirmed now its getting real!!!!

Just got back from the dr... Confirmed now its getting real!!!!

Yay!!!! I'm so happy for you KLa. Makes it so official when the doctor confirms it!! Woo! Wishing you all the best for the next 9 months. What excellent timing too. It means you can take it easy for those first few weeks of pregnancy as you aren't at work! How exciting! So sweet how excited your OH is too!

I know what you mean about symptoms - not knowing what's real and what's in your head.. As I've said, I don't know where I am in my cycle but expecting AF in the next week or so. I've felt tired and really queasy lately. Not getting my hopes up though, as I'm sure I have experienced this in previous months!

 

[KLa826]

Thank you so much, MrsD!!! Ive now realized that my weepiness over the last few days ( crying about pictures on Pinterest???) is probably hormones kicking in. Also find myself wa more tired than usual. 8 hrs of sleep and I have no motivation...I am not usually a napper and I've napped the last two days!
DH is adorable.. Begging me to let him tell SOMEONE but I really think we need to tell our parents before anyone else!

Tired and queasy sounds promising... My fingers and toes are crossed big time for you!!!

Hi..
I'm new to this but really need some support. TTC for 7 1/2 months. Kinda. First 6 months were NTNP this month we've tracked ovulation (I always know when I ovulate, just not good at detecting before it happens, but took tests this month) Ovulated on 22nd. BD'd both days before and day of and then last night. Also the whole week prior. We're both extremely frustrated that we might get another negative test this month. He wants me to test this weekend, i think it's too soon. I've been really queasy and my digestive system is all out of whack this week. Super tired and peeing a lot. Lots of mild cramping, but not like period cramping and only on the left side. Also, my CM hasn't changed at all, still very liquidy and 'wet' Sorry tmi. Just lookin for support. Thanks in advance.

MasonsMommy-
Welcome! We've got a great group of women here so you have come to the right place. Did you actually ovulate July 22nd or do you mean the 22nd day of your cycle? Just trying to figure about how many DPOs you are. If you just ovulated on the 22nd this weekend is definitely early to test and you may be setting yourself up for disappointment- when it might not be necessary. The symptoms you are mentioning sound very promising- but if you just ovulated 3 days ago it's probably still a bit early as I don't think implantation typically happens until 6-12 dpo? I'd say wait until it's been at least a week after you ovulated- even aim for a week from today (that would be about 8-9dpo) to take your first test. But- this is just my very unprofessional advice!!!
FXd and babydust for you!!!

 

[MasonsMommy11]

I'm 3DPO At least according to my average cycle date etc. Started on the 7th, ended the 10th. average 30 day cycle. I don't want to test just yet, with my first I didn't get a positive until about 7 weeks prego. and i tested every week before that!! So just waiting and hoping. But it's SOO frustrating.

Hi ladies will post personal later, I am extremely hot and need a shower before I faint.

kla glad its now officially, I want to hear everything you go through on a daily basis. Tell OH to wait a few more days and then he could tell this person.

MrsD. Try not to symptom check or compare because you will only run yourself ragged I know its kinda hard to do but you can do it. We need you to be in tip top shape for this pregnancy when you get your results and so far what you have said sounds a bit promising to me.

MasonMommy, I share what Kla said and will post a bit more later. FX for you as well.

AFM: This heat is starting to get on my nerves, I just cant take it, even the sea water is hot including the water from the top. I have gain about twenty pounds in the last three weeks and the funny thing is I am not eating anything to cause me to gain this much weight. I think the heat is sopping me of energy because its on effort to walk, move or anything of the sorts and I have to force myself to get going. All I want to do is lay down, this morning I force myself to take the bus so that I could walk, initially when I started down my corner half way through I felt like I would faint and then felt like my old self again so I am going to do a five miler this evening.

Went to get the cost of my test and they are an astonishing $1200 so here comes the draining of my pockebook.

Anyway ladies I really have to run because this heat will consume me in a matter of seconds byeeeeeeeee.

CONGRATS KLA! Im so happy for you! Good luck and happy & healthy 9 months to you!

 

[KLa826]

Thanks so much, Kitcat! I think I am still in shock! How are you doing?

 

[KLa826]

MasonsMommy- We can all empathize with how frustrating the TWW is- but 3dpo is really early. Just try and relax, breathe and take it one day at a time! Easier said than done, believe me, I know!!!

Piece, thanks! Felt so good to hear "Congratulations" from the DOCTOR! Now I need to find a good OB and get that appt made. I am feeling relatively normal besides super sore boobs, gassy (burping a lot which I've never done) and definitely tired.

We are thinking about telling our parents this weekend just so we can celebrate with someone. My mother in law is still under the impression that my DH is her little boy- so I have a feeling she is not going to share the feelings of joy that my parents and his dad will have. I want to tell her in front of my parents so she has to act excited...Though I am sure we (or just my husband) will hear about what a bad idea it is after the fact. We are both 27-28, good, stable careers and buying a perfect family home... Never going to get more "ready" than that!

Sorry to hear the testing is going to cost you so much!!! Hang in there...There has to come a break from the heat sooner or later and I hope it comes sooner, rather than later- for your sake!!! Hang in there

 

[KLa826]

Hey ladies! It's been awfully quiet over here...Hoping everyone is doing well!

 

[MrsD140810]

Hi KLa. How are you feeling? Any more symptoms yet? Have you told your family yet? It will be so exciting to tell them! And you're right.. By what you describe, you definitely can't be any more ready!

I am just waiting for the inevitable AF. Had a few feelings like its on its way. In a weird way, I should be relieved to get AF this month. As its the summer, my nephews first birthday in a week and we are going on holiday in 2 weeks, I should feel relieved to be able to drink. But I am dreading getting it and I know I will be disappointed yet again. I suppose I still have a little hope as it hasn't yet turned up!

 

[KLa826]

I'm feeling good! I am almost always tired and have at least one crying fit a day over something that even I know is ridiculous, but fine otherwise. We told his parent and mine Thursday night and they were all thrilled! I was so surprised to see how happy my mother in law is... Even texting me things like "love you three!" Its just hard not telling other people now, but I really want to wait until I have a sonogram.

Many of the things I first felt were just like normal PMS symptoms so don't count yourself out, yet! It's not over until the witch shows! I had a fortune cookie one month when I was really bummed because AF showed- "Time is natures way of making sure everything doesn't happen at once." if this isn't your month then you just relax and enjoy all those fun things you've mentioned... PLUS BDing on vacay is always a good time ;-)

My Fingers and toes are crossed for you and I am sending loads of baby dust to you!!!

 

[MrsD140810]

Aw it's great the family is so excited for you! It must be really hard keeping quiet at the moment! Do you have to wait 12 weeks to get the sonogram? That's what it is here in the UK.
Thanks for the advice. I'm still waiting. No sign of AF but I have felt really ill. Dizzy, queasy, stomach cramps. I was wondering if I was ovulating later than I thought?! I'm just hoping I don't have another 40 day cycle like I did a couple of months back. That was terrible and I don't want AF for when I'm on holiday! So if it is coming..I would like it to hurry up and come now! Apprehensive to test yet as I don't want to be disappointed!

 

[MrsD140810]

Ladies, where are you all?!!

I have felt ill again today. Stomach cramps mainly. Don't know what is going on! I took a pregnancy test when I got home this afternoon..just a cheapie one.
I don't know what to think of it. I am sure I can see a really really faint line. When I look at it I think I can see a line, but to someone else, they probably won't see anything!

Do not want to get my hopes up as I am probably not pregnant and am probably imagining lines!

I think I'm going to do another cheapie test in the morning. Hopefully if it is positive it'll come up darker then due to higher levels of hcg in the morning? That's what I'm thinking anyway.

Feel all over the place at the moment. Just want to know one way or the other!

Hi there!

When is your AF due?

AFM I am at the beginning of a fresh new cycle. Af has come and gone and now its time to BD!! lol DTD every other day and crossing my fingers. I am on Vitex and Maca to help with fertility!

So pumped for Kla!! Congrats again on your bfp!! Wishing you a sticky bean!!

 

[MrsD140810]

Not sure when AF was due as went for a relaxed approach this month and didn't track ovulation. We just BD every other day. But I am on CD 33, so unless I am having another really long cycle it should have come by now.

All the best for this month Amanda! And yes, it is such good news about KLa. Gives us all hope!!

Hi ladies! Sorry I haven't been on the last few days- had family for dinner Sunday, some summer curriculum work for school on Monday and was just running around all day today!

MrsD- you saw how light my first line was! My mom didn't see the line on it, either! Clearblue Easy Digital tests 25mui which is pretty sensitive and there's no mistaking that crystal clear word "PREGNANT"...Your symptoms sound promising and CD33 should be plenty of time...I would try another test in the AM for sure! Are you on "Countdown to Pregnancy?" They have tools to tweak pregnancy tests to make it easier to see a line if there is one there, may be worth a try? The TWW is KILLER whenever you know a BFP is a possibility (even when taking a more relaxed approach to TTC...) I said to my husband- once pregnancy is a possibility it's impossible to be really low key about it. In my opinion, anyways. PLEASE keep us posted and you know we are rooting for you!!!

Amanda- So glad to hear you are on to a new cycle! FX'd the new meds and your regularity (haha!) make this a lucky month!

AFM- My introductory appointment with my new OB was cancelled Monday because of a large number of deliveries...Rescheduled for Monday 8/5. Feel pretty good- tired and sore boobs the main things I notice, with occasional mild cramping/pulling/twinging- but nothing major down there. AF has come on the 27th of each month SINCE FEBRUARY (making my CDs crazy but giving me my own sense of regularity I suppose) and when I made it through all day Saturday with nothing, it was a great feeling! I guess I was still expecting the witch to show and ruin my joy.

We haven't told anyone besides our parents yet- planning to wait until after the 1st sono OR our close friends' wedding (August 23rd) whichever come last. It's so hard keeping quiet about it!

Sending all sorts of and keeping everything crossed for you girls! I would love to have some BUMP BUDDIES!!!

 

[MrsD140810]

KLa, it must be so lovely not having AF turn up! So exciting! Hope you're feeling well still and not having too many horrible symptoms!

Anyone heard from Piece? Been a little quiet for a while.

Still no AF for me. Took a few more tests and there is either no line there at all, or a very very VERY faint one which I think I'm imagining. Starting to get fed up again now. If AF is on the way, I really hope it will show before my holiday. I'm still feeling ill as well. Felt a little queasy, stomach cramps etc. I've ordered some more tests and will take them next week if AF still hasn't shown.

I have friends over today to sit in the garden in the sunshine. It's 30 degrees here today which is very rare! I'm going to have a few drinks anyway as I doubt I am pregnant. Just so annoying!!!
