[Cheekygringo]

Still waiting am around 12 dpo, and feel not as tired as I did, and not so hungry as I was, but now I am stinky! I can actually smell myself and it's weird smelling. Yuck. I hope everyone else can't smell it! I have some other faint possible symptoms, but that has to have been the strangest symptom I've ever had in tww.

Congrats Jess :-D

 

[KrissyB]

Congrats Jess

And yay for positive OPK, Bug!

Cheeky - Ooh, I do think that heightened smell thing is a potential symptom!! FXed! When would you normally expect AF? And when do you think you'll test again?

AFM - 3 dpo and just chugging along. Since I missed a solid week of temping I'm not expecting to get a cover line for a while, if at all. But I think my temps are in a good post-O range.

Congrats jess!

How many bfps do we have for Aug so far?

Afm: my chart is looking nice. Woke up nauseous this morning and I've had bad diareah since last night. Granted we went out for our anniversary and the dteak didn't taste quite right, but we'll see.

congrats Jess!

Sorry for those af got

AFM: cd 13-heading into my fertile window. Having a Mammogram monday, hoping I ovulate that evening or Tuesday. Monday would be the day that I ovulated last month, so we will see. So far no ewcm or anything yet, I usually get that a day or 2 before my positive OPK.

 

[smiley4442]

I'm really thinking of trying soft cups this cycle. I checked online and it said a local Wal-Mart has them in stock. We are headed that way tonight and i thought I might stop in and pick some up. but I'm super nervous about trying them.

Hey my ladies, I have not updated y'all yet but a lot has happened haha but other ladies have seen me in other threads. So aug 3rd my temp dropped to 97.30 and af showed the next day on 8/4 the whole time during the day it was orangy red pink colored and by night dark brown well on 8/6 af was over and me and OH dtd he noticed I was having ewcm. So this morning my temp was 97.73 and I checked my cervix it was high and soft and I got ewcm did an opk it came up positive. So here I am Oing on cd4. had a qual blood test at the hospital yesterday and it was neg so I know I cant be pregnant.


Here is my opk from today and hpt I took on day one of af

 

[smiley4442]

I'm not sure Hunni, the only thing I can think is maybe your HCG wasn't high enough for the FRER on the first day of your cycle. It takes a while in some to get a positive. The only thing you can do is take another PG test. The other option is your just Oing early this month, I've heard it happen too.

 

[hunni12]

We are going to dtd just in case and im still having these tiny sharp pains in my nips that are random. Yeah the blood test they was qual and not the quant one which was only a few hours after the bleeding really stopped. I got one more frer so im probably going to save it. OH thinks I could still be pg, but I doubt it.

Just never thought I would O on cd 4 out of a 31-35 day cycle. Its so weird lol but I do love to see ewcm haha.

The weird thing was the doctor still was asking me could I be pregnant even after seeing the qual test.

 

[caringo]

Ooh hunni, hope it's good news for you!!

 

[fairyy]

That's strange hunni

AFM: AF got me right on time. Cd1 today

 

[bluefish1980]

Well, just for kicks I POAS as it was my last cassette one. I am on CD17 and haven't ovulated yet, but I got this......

Its hard to see on the pic, but in real life there is a line that is easy to see. Weird!

There's no way I'm Pg so it has to be an evap right?!

 

[smiley4442]

Hunni, I don't know the difference between a qual and a quan. So I can't answer it. Maybe your numbers were to low to be considered pregnant but still high enough to maybe question it.


So sorry Fairry!!!!!!

I see it blue, and it has color. Unless you ovulated earlier and didn't notice, could you be pregnant from last month?

 

[hunni12]

Qual is one where it says yes or no but can measure 50 mil/u and quantitative is the one that providesthe actual number of hhcg as low as 0

 

[sweetbliss89]

Checking in with you all! Sorry for those who got AF Hang in there!

Hunni - Could you possibly get some $1 tests to use. I'd find it strange too that the doc would still be questioning if you were pregnant even after the test. I wonder if he could just order a quan test instead of a qual test and run it again?

Smiley - Go for the softcups! They were way easier to use than I thought. I tried one after a non-fertile BD just to try it out. Don't get me wrong, it was strange to put it in but you can't feel it once it is in. Taking it out was a little strange the first time but it wasn't bad and I 100% believe that they help with TTC. What about them makes you nervous?

 

[bluefish1980]

It was strange AF but surely if it is a from last cycle, it's VERY light!

As for this cycle, my temps are too low to have ovulated. With my temps, I had actually noticed that this cycle they have been consistently low. Normally they go up and down!

Just the thought of maybe putting it in wrong. But as long as they have them in stock I think I'm going to try them-doesn't hurt to try anyway. My fertile window is this weekend, so its pretty much all or nothing lol.

Some people don't get their BFP's on test til they're a couple months along, maybe that could be the case, or it very well could be an evap. Crossing my fingers for you. Keep us updated.
