April Showers Bring May Flowers - May Testing Thread *9 BFPs and Counting!*

[co_fostermom]

I'm sorry Gonzadroit. I've been there and it sucks. You'll get an answer soon enough. Sometimes AF doesn't show up when we expect but the bfns are probably more indicative of the truth at this point. AF will show up when she wants to unfortunately, which is why we call her the

Mum42 trust the test. Do you have any non-digi tests? Sometimes they are more sensitive. If not, trust the test. Also, certain things can bring on AF like sex, cinnamon, orange juice, etc., so if you're worried about making sure your flights are correct and need to start a new cycle asap, try those methods.

Voice of reason!!! Thank you!!! OJ on its way... I wish I could have sex but he’s not here.... I’ll jump him tomorrow if it still hasn’t shown!!!!!

This evening a different IC brand is giving me squinters! Lines are like yesterday’s just a different brand test. What’s funny is that the brand giving me faint lines yesterday are now bfn’s!

Def see something

I'm 11 dpo, and I had a temperature dip this morning. Being hopeful that it was a implantation dip, I figured I would be on target for when I tested in a few days time. However, when going to the washroom this evening, I wiped my cervix and saw some rosy pink mucus. I've never had implantation bleeding before, so I am guessing that in AF will be arriving on time in a few days time. I'm not officially out until the witch catches me, but being realistic, I don't have high hopes with this spotting! BTW - Congratulations to all those who have gotten their positives, and big, big hugs to those who are diving back into another cycle.

Witch is here! I’m out for this month! I feel relieved was such a mix of emotions and confusion and am glad it’s over so can look forward to a new cycle.

Co-foster - I def see a line!

Took another test this afternoon, different brand, with a diluted sample after a 1 hour hold. Showed up right away. Can you see it?

 

[Literati_Love]

Sounds like it’s a disappointing month for many of us. Sorry to those who have had AF arrive, and congrats to those with BFPs! Also, good luck to those with squinters!

Co_foster mom - I think I see it!

 

[Amanda Sian]

Taken with a couple hour hold, I can see something on the pics. Not sure if it's line eye or not.

 

[co_fostermom]

Amanda I see a line on both pics!

 

[Beccaboo828]

So I caved today and tested. I'm 4DPT or the equivalent of about 9DPO and I think I see a distinct start to something. What do you think? It's more visible irl but this was the only decent pic I could get. Taken within the time limit.

I took 2000mg of vitamin C and used a heat pack on my abdomen for 4 hours at 13dpo just to bring AF on a day early. I was cramping for 2 days and I knew I wasn’t pregnant so I just wanted my cycle to start. The next day I check using the heat pack and my period started at lunchtime. Heat get the blood flowing and can help bring AF sooner I read and I tested the theory it worked for me lol

Happy Mother's Day everyone! Sending extra big to the women out there who have learned to hate this holiday. I want you to know that the sun does come out and I hope that you enjoy this day by being good to yourself. Even if you're unsure if you are allowed to celebrate this day, if a part of your heart longs to, go ahead and celebrate. You are beautiful Mama! Even if you haven't officially become a mom yet, or you're a foster mom, or you've suffered loss of some kind, you still have earned the right to be celebrated. I would give you a hug in person if I could.

On a separate note, Baby Girl did it! Two faint but very clear positives today! One on a FRER and another on a Wondfo.

Hi ladies! Just checking in to wish you all lots of luck for bfp this month and hugs to those who af arrived all the best next cycle. I wish I was joining you but my cycle seems to have added an extra week so it’s a long 42 day cycle now so I won’t be testing until start of June.

Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you!!

My fiance is taking one of those sperm count tests in the bathroom as I type this. And by sperm count test, I mean pornhub, hahaha.

Anyone ever try those?

5 days late now and BFN. Can't stop crying all morning on and off.

 

[co_fostermom]

Gonzadroit. I wish I could do more than that for you. I know exactly how you feel.
