Anyone TTC #1 and 30 or older?

[mrs unicorn]

Etis - it is a bit jumpy! How are you getting on with the opks?

I'm 9 DPO and bfn on ICs. To be expected though. Been having some vivid dreams the past few nights. Some nice, some not so much. Had a horrible one last night! My bbs are killing me today too. I'm not reading into things though because all my little signs and symptoms are different since the mc.

 

[Angel5000]

I think my lungs are finally starting to clear up! Managed to get some decent sleep last night, for the first time in a week. 10DPO and may or may not test. Depends on how badly I want to when I get home from work.

Tomorrow is the dr appointment to go over our results. Don't know how I'm going to teach all day and then go to the appointment! I wish I had made it for first thign in the morning. But I'm almost out of sick days and it's easier to leave 1 hour early and find 1 teacher to cover my 1 class than it is to make a morning appointment an have to get a half day sub. Plus if it's bad news I didn't want to have to go back to work afterwards.

Angel: so glad to hear you're starting to feel better!!! And good luck tomorrow! Totally hear you on the desire to have had it early in the day but agree you made the right call by having it at the end of the day. Good or bad news I wouldn't want to go back to work after anyway!

Mrs. unicorn: the tww is the worst! Hang in there...just one more week or so to go! Fx for bfp!

Afm: I've been using the wandfos every day and have seen progressively decreased lines since those couple dark ones on cd5 and cd6. Got the positive on the digital on cd7. So my best guess is that my od was sometime between cd7-9. But today I left my wandfo and notebook where I've been pasting them at home so I used an easy @ home opk and it ended with two dark lines which seems really random. even though it's not expired I don't know how much I trust those easy @ home strips...they were all over the place when I used them whereas the wandfos have been more consistent (though still never obviously positive). I'm gonna try to post a picture of the strip from today so you can see. I'll post a picture from the whole chart later when I get home

 

[Angel5000]

Etis that looks really close to positive! I've used Easy@Home before and they aren't bad though I do prefer my Wondfo's. Your chart is hard to pinpoint O, I don't see a clear shift where I could determine that O had already occured. I would keep testing with the cheapies and throw in some extra BD just in case.

 

[Angel5000]

Ladies. . . .

I just tested because I have been nauseous all day, ad really really really warm (temp is over 98.5 which is very high for me).

There is the faintest line on my Wondfo.

I didn't believe it.

So I went to my sisters house. She sees it.

then I showed DH. He says he definitely sees it. But it's very light.

I sent DH to store to get me a FRER. I made the mistake of just saying get the one that says "6 days before missed period". Of course he came back with FRER Gold.... which is the digi version. I don't know if I want to use that this early. I'm afraid the digi won't be as sensitive.

.... my sister and DH both warned me that we've seen this faint line two previous times (my previous 2 CPs) and tried to tell me not to get overly excited.

Now I'm just.....

I am seeing our RE tomorrow to talk about our test results. Do I mention to him that I think I have a positive test and try to convince them to do blood test? Or do I just wait and see what happens ?

Omggggggg!!!!! Impossible not to get too excited for sure but definitely encouraging. Maybe hold the digi for first morning urine tomorrow when it's more concentrated?? I probably wouldn't be able to wait and just would want to test every time I pee lol

I'd definitely mention tomorrow just cuz they might go ahead and run a test themselves. Keep us posted!!

 

[star_e]

wow angel, that is very encouraging news. i hope this is your cycle! if it were me, i would definitely tell the doc. i don't see what the harm would be. it would also be hard for me to resist testing, but i think id try to. i mean if you can resist, i would just wait until the results are more likely to show up on the digi. easier said than done though. good luck, i have my fx! let us know how it goes tomorrow!

ettis - i agree with angel, do some extra BDing just in case. good luck!

 

[Angel5000]

I don't know if you can see.... But here's my pic.

I'm gonna take the FRER in an hour or so. Digi or not I can't wait until tomorrow!

It's hard to say. I think I see what you're talking about but in black and white it's hard to tell because it all looks a little grainy

 

[Angel5000]

Here's the color one. Apparently when I tried to upload two at once it overloaded the color and just did the B&W

Yeah I do see the tiniest tiniest hint of a line with some squinting but I'd definitely try in the morning with some concentrated urine to see if it gets any darker

It's far from conclusive but encouraging at least!

 

[Angel5000]

Oh. My. God.

My chart is insane. It's impossible to tell and definitely me and not the thermometer like I thought. No clue what that means. Attached are all the tests this cycle

 

[Etisgonnab]

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's soooo exciting!!!! CONGRATS. Wonderful timing that you have a doctors appointment tomorrow!!

Edited to add the proper emojis that weren't showing up on my phone

 

[mrs unicorn]

Angel - I've seen you on another thread but waaaaaaaaaa congratulations!!!! So so happy for you hun!!

 

[mrs unicorn]

Etis - cd13 looks the most + to me but it could be because it's the newest one there.

 

[MrsRose168]

Oh. My. God.

I've been lurking every now and then to see how you ladies are doing, and OMG I'm so excited for your BFP!!!!! Congrats! I hope this is your sticky little bean! Would this be a December or January baby?

 

[star_e]

Angel WOW!!!!!!! congrats!!!!!! that's amazing news!!!!!! so happy for you! have a great appointment!

 

[Angel5000]

ETis - I also think that CD13 looks the most + to me BUT it could just be because it's the newest. :/ Hard to tell.

MrsRose - Thanks! FF says due date would be January 8 based on Ov.



Thank you all for the congrats, But now I'm freaking out.

I did another digi this morning. Because.... Obsessive much? Lol. It said No. WTF?!?!

But I did a dollar tree and Wondfo at the same time and they have lines.

Dh thinks I drank too much water before bed (I had like 40 oz - the prednisone gives me dry mouth) and I woke up needing to go really really bad. Yesterday's digi that said yes was after a 4 hour no water no liquid hold where I didn't even have to pee and had to force it (very concentrated). So maybe I'm just on the cusp of enough hormone?!?

That can't be a false yes can it?!? There's no such thing is there?!?

My temp is still high today. And I think today's lines are def more clear than yesterday's. Still faint but there I'm sure. Ps: dollar tree line is so much better than the Wondfo right now!

I'm freaked out. Dh actually told me to take another digi to work and do it y lunch. umm no.

But I think I will call dr at lunch and tell them I got a BFP and ask for a blood test at our appointment today. I'm just so worried. I don't want to lose another one.

What do you guys think?? Can you see the lines on these tests??

Any reassurance? So scared!

Yes, I can definitely see the lines on both. Diluted urine can make all the difference in the world this early on so try not to freak out yet. I'm sure your dr will have your betas done and will hopefully get you back in on Saturday for another test to see if it's doubling. Got my FX for you!
