August thread! (68 Testers 19 BFP's 1 Angel)

[mommyxofxone]

Oh sweetmama im so sorry again


And yeah even with dd I got a bfn at 10dpo. Didn't get a faint til 12. So I knew it was too early but I took another this am and another bfn. I always feel like I can kind of see soemthing catching my eye but nope nothing

I bought a bbt therm off amazon when trying for dd. I was pissed when I started using it and no third decimal! However my temps still dance all over the place so this cycle is by far the strangest I've ever encountered.

No symptoms. I had a dream a few days ago that I had my baby already and it was a boy. And I had a dream last night that it was the day before af and I didn't get my regular spotting. I was so excited because I knew that meant I was pg.

However today's bfn hasn't got me down yet- I do NOT believe this is my cycle. But I do think it's a really weird one.

I have also been ttc for 2 months for #2 and I also have a DD who just turned 4! Buddies!

Yay nurse mommy!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

So sorry sweetmama and sdc for your losses. Xx

 

[jGo_18]

Oh no... I'm so sorry sweetmama

Dang! Sorry to hear AF showed nurse.

Afm: temp dipping more.. Bfn this morning. I guess I'm still in the game as I don't think AF is due until Tuesday or Wednesday now... But ugh at 13dpo, I would think I'd see something by now if there was gonna be anything. In the mean time, I have this horrible burning style cramps... So uncomfortable.

 

[Smille24]

Welp, CD 1 today. I knew af was coming with my decreasing temps. Oh well.

Im sorry nursemommy!

I think Ill be joining you shortly bc Im in b!tch mode.

 

[JLM73]

Sorry Nurse

Jgo I have no idea what's up with your temps unless you are a light sleeper like me- that's why mine fluctuate. They say even if you don't wake up technically you raise out of the true deep sleep phase, so it's kind of a mini wake up for the body.
I look like I am driving thru the Himalayas over here lol
I'm glad you are still in the game.

AFM- I am 10-12dpo today, ONLY 2 days from AF and BFN on alllll 4 tests ystrdy, and this mornings...yes...I tested FOUR times ystrdy lol.
I got one of those 1 sided evaps after a test dried, and was super line eyed after that...changing light sources, magnifying tests etc...I kept feeling like something was there , like a haze of a line nearly invisible to the naked eye (while tests were wet still) but nada ....Just super wishful thinking
I was SO close to breaking out a frer, but talked myself out of it as I only have 2 for this cycle. sigh....
*And might I add, tried a new brand of coffee this morning ...bleck!...how fitting

I had to take a few days break I had a chemical pregnancy and I'm taking it really hard. This is the first time I've had a positive preg test in 15 months. I'm so devastated.

So sorry sweetmama! I am dealing with the same thing this month we are all here for you. I knew I was pregnant at 1 dpo and finally got a positive test at 4 days late for AF and started bleeding 3 hours later.. that was monday. Still bleeding today. AF usually only lasts 3 days for me. It's so hard. I have only been. Actively trying for 4 months so I can't imagine how much worse it is for you. They say the following month you are super fertile so FX for a sticky bean next month!

JLM - that was totally me this morning. Tested on an IC and swore there was a second line but with no color right away. Spent half my morning analyzing it - ugh! And thought about one of my FRERs too.... will wait a couple more days. AF due Wed and chart seems to be going triphasic today??? wishful thinking, I'm sure! Anxious to see what my temp is tomorrow now - which means I'll sleep like crap lol

 

[JLM73]

Lol I know Beemeck...like night before Christmas hehe

I am inclined to agree with FF now that I am 10 dpo, and not 12 ...Partly because I feel I usually would have seen something by now, but also beacause it allows me to test longer, or for AF to be late...
I am using walmart 88cent cheapies, and KNOW that a frer is much more sensitive, but after last months cp ordeal, I kind of don't want to do a sensitive test until I see something on a 25miu...Kind of like, even if a frer would show a hint of a line right now, I don't want to go thru not seeing a line in a couple days, and all the what ifs.
I am gonna stick to my original plan. DO NOT use a frer until there is something truly visible on the 25miu cheapie.
On this hpt w/ beta site below, that's what I was looking up. Basically it shows the $cheapies earliest line was at 20miu(beta) and it's a 25miu test. Then when I look at the same beta(20miu) on a frer, the line is much clearer, and easily seen.

I would rather wait on a frer and have my first bfp on it be certain, not questionable like last time

to us all!

 

[beemeck]

sounds like a solid plan, JLM! I'm with you on that - and that'll make us both 10 DPO today to you and all of the ladies !!

 

[mommyxofxone]

Lower back pain. One pimple. Hot sweats at one point today. Cramps. All early af symptoms.

 

[JLM73]

That's hard Mommy cuz those are prego signs too, and your temp went up
Don't call the old witch ...let sleeping old hags lie lol

 

[Smille24]

My cervix has lowered (still soft) and I've been an emotional wreck, so not looking good for me.

 

[MrsW1985]

I'm currently in my fertile window, cd15 not temping or using opks so I'll have no idea when I will actually o. Just BDing regularly
I did order Preseed 7 days ago with the hope it would be here by my fertile window but I never came, so I'm quite disappointed by that. Hopefully it will arrive Monday so I can at least get a couple of days use in!! Anyone on hear ever had success with Preseed?

 

[JLM73]

Hmmm...not sure what to think about this, so must ask has anyone gotten a bfp on a cheapie before a frer?
Pics below...
My plan was NO frer test until I see a decent line on a cheapie.
Walmart 88center (First Signal) shows a line at 10 min mark, I get excited and use same 5 hour hold urine in a cup on a frer6daysooner....
frer6ds appears to have an evap so faint- no color...WTH?
I had a strict 5 hour urine hold from 1pm to 6pm, not a drop to drink since noon, was sooo thirsty.
I have used these wally tests for a few cycles now, literally at least 40 of them, and never seen so much as a thick colored line until this one.
Even with my cp lines were scant and very thin.
I expected a faint line on frer, but there is nothing there of color at all!
I am 10dpo per FF, and tested 4 times ystrdy and this morning with blank white bfns. I would have thought evap if not that it's still wet (see the add urine hole) and it has a purple hue not gray??
Pics below


***grrr I truly understand what you ladies mean by hard to get a pic now** trying again

 

[Smille24]

It's so hard to tell, but I cant wait until tomorrow's test!!!! Hopefully you'll see a clearer line.

 

[JLM73]

Why is it the quality of the pic I am uploading changes so much??
Ok hope this close up looks more pink/purple and I did a negative too
I really hope this is it after almost a year...

 

[maybe8]

Jlm...not to drive you mad....zoom out on the pics you uploaded...the frer has a line as well as wally world....cautious congrats.

 

[JLM73]

I can't see it on the frer??
I have tried every diff light source i have in this house ( other than sunlight since it is night lol)
I had a cp deal last go round, so I am def NOT putting any carts before horses...I just know frer is the goto for confirmation for everyone, so why can't I see anything on it in person??
I also HATE the glare on the new curved frer window. I was going to take it apart, but last time i did that the white around the lines crumbled everywhere...
Ok ...well that was 6pm, so I won't take another cheapie until 15 hrs from then with fmu. If I don't see the same line or better on the cheapie, I'm not wasting my last frer
Thx for helping me look
