April Showers Brings Christmas Babies 92 Testers (19 BFPs)(1 Angel )

[coolbabe843]

hello Ladies,
I havent been on here much lately, so went through and browsed this thread and would love to join...testing date for me will be the 12th or before lol....my boobs are pretty sore on the sides and i get waves of nausea but that sometimes happens for me. I am not sure i caught my fertile window as the hubby works out of town during the week but you never know!

 

[aprilwonders]

I think I'm now 6dpo... I think I'm going to try and wait until I'm a few days late before I test. I'm already nervous in case it's a bfn

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Sorry to those who AF got!

Testing starts tomorrow for me at 9DPO, if I can hold off peeing today!

Anyone else testing tomorrow?

Please someone tell me this is an indent? I was discharged 2 weeks ago from hospital suffering a miscarriage, my beta had gone down to 16.

I am CD13, was hoping to ovulate within the next week. Did a test just to check it's negative and got this! Either I have serious line eye again or there is a second line. Hoping you lovelies say it's an evap or indent!
Really want to ovulate to catch this Rainbow baby!

Lost I'm not just saying it because you want to hear it but that looks like an evap to me mainly because the line isn't as thick as the control which evaps often do and it looks grey not pink. My ic's often do that.

 

[Lost7]

I really hope you're right, thank you so much! Would it evap so quickly into the test though? I thought evaps happened when the test was dry? This was only 5 minutes after dipping it! xx

Amy - I'm 4 dpo today too. Yay testing buddy! When do you think you'll start POAS? I'm aiming to hold off until Monday (9 dpo)

Mrs - A follicle inside of your cyst? That seems very strange. Sorry about the confusion with your O, but the blood test should answer that for them very quickly. Are you working with an OB or an RE? And what CD are you now? Was this your first monitoring?

Yea thats we he thought but I guess with me stranger things have happend. He is and OB that went to school to be an RE and was an RE for years then decided to back off to just being an OB so he does everythign up to IVF in his office for his patients that he has had for years. The RE that he works closely with is right across the hall. I am CD 14 today no it was my Second u/s this cycle.

Lost - that looks like an indent to me. Theres no colour (that I can see on my phone).

 

[ashpeababy]

Looks like an indent to me also Lost!

 

[Lost7]

Thanks girls! Really hoping you're right. Someones now convincing me she saw something on yesterdays stark white 20miu/ml test! I must be going blind in my age! I added this photo onto CTP website and they're all mostly voting positive too... Rang the hospital and all they said was to repeat the test in two weeks but it's unlikely to be left from the miscarriage!

Thank you so much for reassuring me. I have been getting these AF symptoms for months now and I have been so confused as my AF hasn't been turning up for another 2 weeks after but now I understand I am getting these symptoms when I ovulate!! I was confused because I am ovulating late around cd26 so in my head when I got those AF cramps I thoyght I was at the end if my cycle but those positive opks have confirmed it's ovulation!

I never used to get this before I had my son. At least I really know when I'm ovulating!! Bodies are crazy!!

xxemmyxx, you may want to look into something like Vitex to help regulate your cycle. It's usually helpful for women who ovulate late, sometimes bringing ovulation up as much as 7-12 days. It also helps lengthen your luteal phase to give the egg more time to implant. I've been using it for 2 months and I'm really happy with it so far

Good luck to everyone still yet to test! I'm 8 DPO and trying my best not to obsess about every tiny little symptom. *cough* yeahright! *cough*

 

[Lost7]

To not spam this post I created my own! I've just re-tested with two other HPT's and swear I am still seeing lines!
I believe that first one to be a definite indent, but I've got line eye with the other two tests! Any advice and help most appreciated!

Xxemmyxx, I would recommend taking vitamin b complex and vitamin d before trying Vitex is great if it works but if it doesn't it than cause more damage than good. My specialist hates vitex because if it doesn't work it can set you back six months if it doesn't work. If you are just ovulating late but have a normal literal phase that isn't as much of a problem at having a luteal phase defect. I now ovulate normally around cd30 and have a 14 day luteal since my miscarriage that is my normal but even though I ovulate late I still have a normal literal phase. Before though my cycles were all over the place but just taking those vitamins regulated them. So vitex is great if it works but it is horrible on your body if it doesn't. Anyway i am not say don't try it or something like it. Because you can and it may work for you and be great. I was just giving you a heads up. My specialist said if he had a guarantee that it would work for every patient when would love it. Scooby,I am so glad it is working for you. I wish it did for me. Because the benefits would have been awesome. Because it sucks to have long cycles. I guess what I am saying is I wish I did more research first before trying so I knew all the pros and cons.

Welcome coolbabe843 will add your date for u huni good luck x
Lost I see lines not sure what to make of them though :/
Silas huni I can't see anything but I never can on those tests good luck to u both x
Lotus huni still time stick with us x

 

[KrissyB]

Lost and Silas - Sorry... I don't see anything (or just shadows I personally would consider dye runs/evaps/indents/whatever you call them). I'm a terrible squinter though so FXed you'll get progression on it

Mrs - Oh that's good As long as he's giving you an RE-level of attention. I tried with an OB for one cycle and it was night and day to what my RE does. FXed your blood work gives you some answers.

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Silas I can see something! Can't wait until the next test!

Lost I agree that it seems like an evap but I would keep testing just in case, if it doesn't increase then it's probably fine

I caved and tested today at 8DPO. BFN lol

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I see it, Silas.

Definitely not implantation bleeding. It's gotten full red and heavy now. I'm gonna hang around in here though, to see others get BFPs, and cuz I'm next expecting to ovulate between the 21st and 28th of April, although testing won't be til May. Hope that's okay.

I remembered that about 3-4 days before my positive OPK, I had a negative OPK but had O pains and EWCM with pink spotting. I think I may have actually ovulated then and just missed it, so I'm planning to do two insems this month...one around CD13 when I normally ovulate, and one around CD18, when I have been ovulating for the last 3 months and aim for a New Years Baby

 

[Ckelly79]

Oh no was hoping it was brandi. Yes Plz do stay with us x

Thanks so much for your advice ladies. I have only just started using opks the last 2 cycles. I had a positive opk on cd26 last cycle and a positive on cd28 this cycle. Last cycle my luteal phase was 10 days which is on the short side. I was going to wait and see what it was this cycle. Where do you get vitex and vitamin b complex and vitamin d? I'm in the UK maybe I could get them from Hollands and barretts? I need to do some research around all of them. I am a bit scared to take stuff that might interfere. Is there a reason why people don't like long cycles (apart from the fact they are long and annoying) I mean does it hinder my chances ovulating late?
