Anyone else counting down to April 1st?

[mzhwd]

Mzhwd, how many dpo are you? Your chart looks real good to me!

I'm 10dpo. Hopefully it's a BFP.

 

[MellyH]

I think that if you see a faint positive then your HCG must already be more than 10? If the test registers at 10? I don't know!

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

I don't quite understand the HCG stuff either. I think they just try to play it safe and give a general around about time frame lol

SM, your chart looks pretty good. Apparently on average the egg doesn't arrive in the uterus until 5dpo. I hope you get your bfp.

I don't really know what to think of my chart. But I know that we BD all the right days. After I let my GYNO see my charts she highlighted all the days that we should BD either every other day or daily and it came out to be 9 days thats a lot of BD lol, but I guess next month that's where we'll be if necessary.

Glad it's not just me that has no idea then lol. Me n oh actually only bd twice this cycle which turned out to be greatish timing, well I ovulated on 19th n the last time was 17th so not to bad hehe, I hope we all get our bfp this month . Ff says I'd be due 10th December if I do

That's funny...12/10/14 would be my date too. Hopefully we'll be bump buddies.

I believe you are right.....that you would have to have at least the minimum amount of HCG that the test picks up. But honestly the more I think I know about this and my cycles in general something and makes me second guess. Smh

I just read a super interesting study on the correlation between what dpo omplantation occurs and the success of a pregnancy to go past 6 weeks. I'm not going into detail for fear everyone will start overthinking could-be implantation dips on their charts, but the study is here if anyone wants to read it!

Meanwhile my stomach feels kinda gross, but that might just be because we are living frugally but still spending more than my husband makes and I have no way of making money until June, our savings are steadily dwindling, and my husband has to take the most important test of his life in a few months, which will decide of we will be able to pay back his student loans or not!! ...and I might be pregnant!!

Curse you "throw caution to the wind" mentality! You can't really call it an "accident" if you very well knew what you were getting into lol!

 

[sirouseman]

I will check back in the morning to see how everyone is doing... updates tomorrow girls!! I have done internal checks of cf 12 dpo and still no spotting, so this is real good for me I think?! Til tomorrow...

 

[Diddy2013]

My understanding...Your body only produces hcg if implantation has occurred. Implantation is what starts making the hormone. When you get even a faint line you consider it positive. (I had a friend who did not realize this she took a handful of tests when her period was late...thought negative. I never saw her tests and sent her a picture of my positives....she had positive tests for a while and didn't know)

That being said, if your like me and test before your missed period you can catch it sooner. Lol tests today are really sensitive. With my pregnancy that ended in MC my dr office tried to rationalize at first I ovulated several days later than what I thought. It wasn't possible, they thought measured small for the dpo I was and pushed it back four days, next time pushed it back three days. I told them there is no way I picked up a positive at like 2dpo. Obviously it was because it wasn't progressing.

Also run the risk of detecting and early mc, where if you had waited till after your missed period you may not of known. And faintness of lines depends on how much hcg in system and how dilute your urine is. Apparently tests today go to mich lower levels.

As for me I will probably test tomorrow! It's only a day away!

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Not much for me to report yet today, no sign of any more blood lol and my tempurature only went up a little today so not sure if it would still be classed as implantation dip.

 

[Mom2sam]

I'm really biting my nails over here... I feel like any moment AF will just surprise me out of nowhere. Usually it always comes first thing in the AM and I notice the spotting after doing my business in the toilet. So, tomorrow it might be here possibly... but who knows. I feel like I have on/off cramps throughout the day, but they are fairly moderate... not the sharp pain of AF cramping. I am seriously going to be sooo sad if this isn't it this time. SO wants to give TTC#2 a bit of a break after next month and will be off traveling I am starting to feel helpless if this doesn't happen and losing the hope... I would assume in my healthy state and solid cycles od 29-34 days and O usually cd 16-20 I could nail this rather quickly in less than 6 monyhs but it has been taking awhile... the timing hasn't been good or just haven't laid down lonf enough afterwards? I don't know. I just keep taking my maca supplements because they have helped me so much in the past and now, stabalizing everything. 13 dpo tomorrow!!!!

Try not to count urself out just yet & hopefully af wont show x

That is interesting thnx, fx everything works out for u x

 

[Mom2sam]

6dpo & not much happening here ofcourse lol waiting waiting til i'm at least 8dpo before i start going all crazy. My sis just had her 12 week scan yesterday & just sent me her scan pic awww she only just tested 2 months ago times flying she still waiting for me to join her we had decided to try togethr but she conceived first cycle & im onto second i started trying 2 weeks aftr she found out. hoping to join her soon! X

 

[Mom2sam]

Melly u didn't come on yesterday i was thnkng wat if she caved in & has gt her bfp lol ur already 10dpo getting close to finding out nw x

 

[Mom2sam]

All ths hcg business confuses me too. I'v never bought or tried the 10mlu tests has anyone tried thm & are thy reliable? Also does anyone knw the sensitivity for frer tests? X

 

[Diddy2013]

I use wondofos which are 25 and frers are supposed to be 25 too but from what I've seen they actaully go lower than that...of course it depends on your dilution too. Digitalis are 50.

 

[mzhwd]

So I took my temp this AM and what a dip. I'm starting to feel out. I was expecting a dip but not that far. IDK I don't want to get my hopes up.

Mom2sam

I don't know how sensitive the FRER is. I usually pay 12.00 plus tax at a Wal-Mart here and it's a 3pk....like they give 1 extra or at least that's what the box says

 

[Mom2sam]

Thnx ladies we dont hv a wallmart here but i thnk last cycle i paid £6 somethng for pack of 2 frer at Tesco. I thought the digis were just as sensitive as frer i gt bfp at 9dpo on frer & digi last time i conceived but remember at docs it came bk negative that early & tested positive on thiers 3/4 days later the nurse had said i thnk that thy use 25mLu & frer & digi are more sensitive x

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Let's hope af don't show her face but I have a feelin she will too but we shall see roll on Monday

 

[Mom2sam]

Oops u wer right digi is 50mLu sensitiv x

 

[kell]

Can I join you girls please? 6dpo and will TRY to hold out til 1st April but I can't promise anything

 

[mummy_smurf2b]

Sure you can
