Anyone CD 1 today - Sept 10th?

[hopefulfor09]

Hello Ladies,,,,,
I have been AWOL - but am back.....and although I convinced myself not to stress or even think about the 2ww, well I am only human afterall. My hopes for this month are not high - DH was away so I only got to BD twice in the "fertile" period, but you never know right? I have been very dizzy when bending over and a little lightheaded - breasts are a little tender and I am extrememely tired, but it could just be the witch.

I see there are a few tests going on this weekedend. ...i need some good news so please update us. Baby dust to you guys......good luck.

Alright ladies, so much for not stressing this month.....I did good though - only 4-6 days until AF is due.....my cycles can be anywhere from 25-28 days but we only bd'd on CD9 and CD12 b/c hubby was away....so I wasn't stressed about it this month. But I am totally making up for it now. For the last several days I have woken up so stuffed up I can't breathe through my nose and have to blow my nose about 10 times before I leave for work. Yesterday and today I am dizzy when I bend over. I am posting again because I can't seem to get anything done at work. I have a physical with my dr tomorrow but he wouldn't be able to tell from a pap right? i would have to ask to POAS - which I don't want to to b/c I don't want him to think I am off my rocker - he knows we are ttc for months and tells me just relax. Easy for him to say. Hmph. So maybe on my way home from Dr. I will get a test....or is it still to early? I so badly want a Anyone else having any symptoms? Anyone else testing tomorrow? LOads and loads of BD to all of us.

Hey Hopeful- I'm at work too and can't concentrate at all! It's really hard not to obsess over every little symptom. I was doing that starting at 1dpo and now at 9 or 7dpo (26-28 day cycle) the days are just dragging by. All of my symptoms seem to have subsided though. I wonder if my hubby and I missed my fertile period. FF keeps changing my dates based on my temps. My hopes aren’t up at this time. But for you… a stuffy nose & dizziness are all positive signs! When do you plan on testing? Also, you can ask your Dr. to do a blood test to confirm pg.

Ju_Bubbs- I so hope you get your this month! Feeling really tired and sick are def. pg symptoms. When do you plan on testing?

JJF- We have to wait at least 7 more hours for you to test??? I don't know if I can handle the suspense.

 

[hopefulfor09]

Zoey:Think positive sweetie. It ain't over till the witch rears her ugly head. Hopefully she takes a sabbatical for all of us. You know it's mind boggling that so many of us have spent most of our adult life trying not to get pregnant and then when we want to, it doesn't just happen. Keep your heads up ladies. Our time will come - hopefully this month. I will keep you all posted. Please keep me posted too.

Zoey and ladies, pulled into the neighborhood and saw the postman truck, he was here early today, yippie. now for the bad news, NO TESTS IN THE BOX, poor me. Now what to do? I wasn't going to go back out today to the store but I could go. Really would love to try to hold out for the tests but would also love to go buy one! Feeling symptoms still but also have a tiny backache which i get before AF but my last bfp also had a back ache. So I don't really think AF is coming but who knows and I think now I'm sort of scared to POAS with that new development, you know.

Shouldn't ask this cause I prob know what you girls are going to say but you think I should hold out one more day for sticks in the mail or go buy one?

 

[Zoey1]

Gosh JJF, I know I'm being selfish but I definitely want you to go out and buy a test! Knowing that...I'll be just as excited to hear your results tomorrow if you wait. Symptom spotting is a real pain the ass isn't it?! Most AF symptoms are also pg symptoms, so I wouldn't get down on the backache. Especially since you had the symptoms w/ your last pg.

Let us know what you decide.

Hopeful- Thanks for the kind words. I'm trying not to think negatively it just sometimes happens, you know?

 

[veeeh]

Hi Hopeful - welcome back! It wouldn't do any harm to ask the doctor for a test - the worse he could do is laugh at you (which he shouldn't!) for being eager! I am testing on Friday though I am getting more and more nervous about it. I understand how you're feeling JJF - I am desperately excited to test and want to do it NOW, but the other half of me is terrified of finding out that I'm not and the longer I wait to test the longer I have to be hopeful!

But selfishly, I think you should TEST!!! Start our great weekend off with a BFP!! Let us know what you decide either way....and GOOD LUCK!!

Hope you are pleasantly surprised Zoey You never know.....
Baby dust to all!!!!!!
Victoria

 

[veeeh]

P.S.
My husband said he doesn't think we are pregnant...apparently he just has a feeling we're not. So much for positive thinking!

 

[Zoey1]

Hi Vic- Hopefully I am pleasantly surprised! My fingers are definitely crossed for all of us! Tell your hubby he needs to think positively for your testing on Friday. How exciting!! I hope you get you

 

[Ju_bubbs]

Hey Zoey, dont give up hope till af arrives... hopefully she wont, but as always, theres still every chance untill she does turn up!

I'm really not sure when to test, mainly coz I dont even know if I did OV and coz of my chemicals the last 2 months... im about 98% sure I'll be pregnant IF I ov'd this month, te question is how long it will last this time! might test at the weekend, that will be 15dpo going by the day that looks most likely for a possible OV!

 

[hopefulfor09]

JJF - Selfishly, I too think you should go out and get a test! But waiting until tomorrow may be better if you can do it. I am now debating getting a test myself on the way home from work. I am having some real bouts of dizzyness and they ordered thai food in the office toda (which I love) but I can still smell it. Yuck. I am only 10dpo at most so it may be fruitlesss but if I see a BFN, I may be able to determine if my "symptoms" are psychosomatic. I haven't said a word to DH yet and I am not, he was so devastated last month when the witch showed up. I won't get his hopes up. BABY DUST to all of you....keep us posted JJF.

Zoey - I know it's hard to stay positive, but don't throw the towel in yet.

 

[JJF]

Okay ladies, I went out and bought some FRER but the darn box doesnt say what MIU they are but I did get my bfp last time on 10dpo with afternoon pee. So came home, POAS, and BFN!!!!! I fell apart to be honest I know its not over until the witch comes or lines appear but since I got a line last time at 10dpo and today I'm 11dpo I just knew there would be a line. So again I know I'm not out but in my mind, I'm out, you know. Feeling so what embarrased at this point because I felt like my symptoms this month were different than last month so that must be a good sign but sadly they are just my 'normal'. So, guess I'll have plenty of tests (still have two FRER) and will have my 25 IC's when they get here.....so I'll keep testing but feeling very low right now (gonna post this same msg in my journal, sorry for redundancy!)

 

[hopefulfor09]

JJF - Sorry to hear about your BFN - but all is not lost. I know how disheartening it can be to get a BFN when you're so sure you are going to get a BFP but you are only 11dpo- and you don't know what MIU they are - they may be much too high to detect any HCG. I am going to get some tests on my way home and test too - I can't take it anymore.

Hang in there JJF. Hugs.

 

[JJF]

Thanks hopeful, I've got my fingers crossed for you. I read over the testing section and tons of ladies don't like the FRER but since I had good luck last month I went with it again. Made me angry that NONE of the brands at my local store listed what MIU they are but the darn cheapy dollar store one had it right there on the box. Makes me wonder why we pay good money for stuff when sometimes the cheapy stuff is better, hahaha!

Baby dust to all

 

[Zoey1]

Oh my gosh JJF. DO NOT feel embarrassed at all!! I'm so sorry you got a BFN, but seriously you're only 11dpo and even though you were able to get a BFP at 10dpo last time, every cycle is different! I still have VERY positive feelings for you! I do know how you feel though. Even though I’m only 9dpo, I tested today and it was a big fat BFN. (other gals test at 8 and 9 and get faint BFPs. What the heck?!) I gotta say the “NOT PREGNANT” digi really sucks! When that pops up, you really just want to tell the test to “F--- Off!” I’ll be sticking to the pink lines tests from now on. It seems more friendly and sensitive to my feelings!
sweetie

 

[JJF]

Thanks so much Zoey, sorry about your BFN too I hear ya, I saw the pack of digis and they were actually cheaper than the FRER but there was NO way I was buying those, especially since the ladies on here don't take them until after many tests with two lines. With the pink ones, you can usually drive yourself nuts stairing at it and at the evap line or something, sadly this had NO evap, no line, no shiney part, just a big huge white area, how awful is that. I wish they could at least put maybe like a yellow line so at least there's two hahahahaha!

Think I'm going to try to wait till the IC get here but sadly I have two FRER left that will probably be tempting me but I'm pretty mad at them right now, ha!

 

[Zoey1]

Hey Ju_Bubbs!I really hope you get your BFP this month especially after 2 chemicals. It must be so hard to go through that! Even though you're not sure of when you OV'd, Id say test this weekend since you're already at 15dpo. Good luck darlin and lets us know!

Hey Hopeful- How exciting that you're going to testing today!! I bet you're on pins and needles. Keep us posted hun and good luck! What dpo are you?

 

[applegirl]

oh JJF - don't feel bad at all - there is still every chance! You know that it is very early - and you are not testing with first morning urine.

I am now the proud owner of 6 (!) early pregnancy tests - from different manufacturers. For some reason it seems to be helping me to shop for pregnancy tests - even when I am not taking them??

Not sure I will be able to hold out til Saturday either - but none of us should lose our PMA over early testing.

It's not over til AF arrives. Hang in there JJF.

 

[applegirl]

oh -meant to send too. x

 

[hopefulfor09]

Oh Zoey - so sorry to hear about your BFN......i just tested with an early First Response and I too got a BFN.....and I did tell the test to F&*% off! It's so disheartening.....I am only 10 dpo - I think.....so we'll see. I am not too hopeful though since we only got to bd 2x. I am still hopeful for all of us and sending lots of babydust.
