I hope you're just getting a late BFP like me, Dee.

Today's tests, FMU. No question. Let's just hope it's a sticky bean this time!

Congratulations!!

Yay! Congratulations

I'm a little nervous because I just went to the bathroom and had some brown discharge. I'm hoping it was just IB. I guess I'll test in a couple days and see if it got lighter or not. I'm afraid it's going to be another chemical.

Silently stalking but wanted to comment.

Butters I had pink spotting and then a really light red bleed (only enough to fill one pantyliner for the entire day) at 10 and 11dpo. Baby doing well at my first ultrasound and I heard heartbeat on doppler Saturday so my bleeding/spotting wasn't a problem. I'd be willing to bet it's probably implantation bleed coming out a bit late since yours is brown.

Thanks for the reassurance! I really appreciate it. Any tips for morning sickness? I'm expecting that to start up by the weekend, if not sooner.

It's normal for there to be spotting in early pregnancy and brown is a good sign too. Try not to worry and take each day at a time.

Small, frequent meals, bland type foods usually help me from feeling sick from eating, sprite, crackers, and pink stork morning sickness drops. Eat whatever you can 1st tri and try to eat healthier once the aversions and morning sickness subside.

1st pregnancy I lost 7 to 8 lbs from morning sickness. 2nd pregnancy I had no morning sickness and was so nervous it wasn't a viable pregnancy but she is a healthy 13 month old. My morning sickness this time is more mild, no vomiting. So you never know, might not get it.

 

[Butters519]

My first I just had nausea. I only vomited 3x the entire pregnancy, but the 3rd was around month 7 or 8 so it wasn't from that. I did eventually figure out that if I ate first thing when I woke up, I felt much better. I ordered some tea for morning sickness that has 4.8 out of 5 stars, so I'm hoping that'll help. I'm not having symptoms yet, but I figure I should just have something around in case it's a viable pregnancy.

I'm just waiting for AF which is due Saturday - still BFN's and have all my usual PMS symptoms. Very sad but guess it's just not meant to be.

How are you today Butters? Have you any progression tests? I found rice and peanut butter on toast good for the morning sickness with my twins..you can't imagine how peanut butter could work but it did! I think they say that high protein snacks help. Hope you don't suffer any bad sickness.

I have the one test, which I just took now. I'm not sure what to think about the ICs, I might grab another of the pink tests when I get home from work. The ICs seem to take longer to come up and they're really faint. AF is due today... I guess we will see what happens.

Good luck. There are very mixed reviews about the IC's. They worked for me at 11dpo with my twins but I expect the HCG would have been much higher for twins anyway. Some people say they give a very delayed response compared to other tests early on.

 

[Butters519]

Yeah... I'm not sure if it's lighter or the same. It's definitely not darker than yesterday. I put yesterday's on there for comparison, too. It's the one with the 3 tests in it.

 

[Deethehippy]

The pink handled one looks good. I wouldn't worry about the IC's too much since they are so cheap. Also how concentrated your pee is and time of day can make a difference..some ladies swear by SMU rather than first and others get better results in the afternoon.
Wishing you much luck.

I just peed on a IC and it has like a white semi - diagonal line with a faint grey line next to it....obviously a faulty one..don’t think they are very good in general.

Lol, that made me laugh. I guess the good thing about ICs is that you never wonder if it's an evap. I'd still rather use an IC than a blue dye!!

True! IC's are cheap and the way I look at is that if I get any sort of line with colour at all then I will buy a more expensive test but no point wasting money until I do!
Blue dyes are just a mind mess up lol

Ok now that it dried, I think today's is darker! It's the one on the left.

Hard to tell on my laptop monitor but can see the lines on both.
