Bring on Feb BFPs !! a TWW thread

[Bluenpinkmom]

Hey all... So im currently on CD 17 and in TWW .. my LMP was Jan 22 and OV date on CD14.. so this thread is for those girls testing in feb and in TWW !! lets share our signs, symptoms and craziness... Bring on Feb BFP's !!

 

[xxshellsxx]

I don't usually join these sorts of threads because i always know AF is coming... but renewed optimism this cycle after being on a reluctant (and now pointless) break (long story) So i'm cycle 1 back, follicle scan was thursday - CD12 (natural cycle) 1 dominant follicle 20mm - O'd over night i think. Lining 'text book' according to FS nurse and everything looking good... so we'll see!

Been sick with the flu - big fever - chart screwed up - guessing game to play! lol

So i think i'm 2DPO - short LP and AF due on 16th/17th (CD22/23)

i know hun.. I too had stopped joining these kinda threads but this time we have sought fertility help so a little hopeful.. this is a kinda coping mechanism during the dreaded 2WW

 

[xxshellsxx]

Maybe renewed optimism will bring positive thoughts and test for us both lol

Can't hurt

xx

 

[Bluenpinkmom]

yeah.. being positive saves so much of stress.. well i dunno what is with this but i constantly have a dull apin in my uterus area since the day of trigger.. also some pinches on my hipbone...

Hey, ladies! I am 1/2-1 dpo, planning to (early, don't judge me) test on Feb 18th. A little explanation/intro:
My husband and I never used protection from the time we started BDing in Jan of 2008 but we did "pull and pray." In January of 2010 we stopped pulling and were just cautiously wading in the water, September of 2010 I started trying to figure out when I ovulated yada yada yada. Irregular cycles, never confirmed ovulation, never a BFP in sight. I tempted and did opks and monitored CM off and on but last cycle was 27 days...(almost textbook perfect....WHAT?!) so I paid close attention to AF. I had a 5 days bleed with no spotting after, unusual for me as I normally have about a week of fade in spotting, 10 days of bleeding, and another 3-6 days of fade out spotting. My temps weren't helpful in the last cycle of 27 days so I didn't bother this cycle but on CD 14 I caught a wild hare and decided to do one of my IC OPKs sitting around. And ummm...it was positive! What!? Having never seen evidence of ovulation before this blew me away, especially after my healthy length cycle, perfect model AF, and the CD timing. I ran to walmart to grab a pack of digitals to make sure I wasn't over-interpreting and ....it was negative. Boo. So I took one more IC and it still looked + to me! I woke up in the morning of CD 15, took an IC which was still + and went to work. Around 1PM I took another digital-BOOM! Smiley face, POSITIVE! Two more ICs and a digital that evening (sue me, it's the first positive pee stick situation I've gotten in three years) were all positive! This early afternoon (2ish) an IC and a digital were all negative with the ICs rapidly fading.

Here's my https://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q782/Danielle_DeKerlegand/ff3f8785_zpsdf658be3.png, and here's to surprise breaking the 3 year spell! Cheers and baby dust to us all!

Hey ddekerl - i don't judge anyone for poas early lol I have short LP so if i don't poas at 8DPO i don't get to do it! Also the first time i saw a positive OPK i did the same thing. I can honestly say my words were "So that's what 2 lines look like on something i've pee'd on lol" GL x

 

[Bluenpinkmom]

sadly, for me opks just dont work... sometimes i get straight away positives for 3 days and still not ovulate and sometimes i never get a hint of positive and i pop out egg... weird body much ??
thankfully, i monitor bbt, so thats a relief.. so that i can be sure that i have ovulated... !!

ddekerl, dont be guilty of being a POAS oholic !! that is what I was.. but after a lot of strss and disppointment, now i test only if my bbt remains high past my LP... but that being said there is nothing wrong in testing more !! it just means that we want that BFP so badly !!

 

[xxshellsxx]

I'm at a loss and losing my optimism already! Started spotting yesterday and today it's more than that, bright red but only when i wipe Can't find anything on google other than IB which this is too early for and O spotting which it's too late for as its red not brown and old!

Frustrated not finding any convincing answers and no access to my FS til at least Tuesday!

 

[ddekerl]

I mean....I've seen quite a few charts with an implantation dip at 3dpo. That being said....I sure hope your temp rockets back up in the am. Keep faith....it's not over!

yup its never over until bbt are high.. also its way too early for your periods to show up.. many women have heavy implantaion bleeding.. so stay strong
and IB is sometimes fresh blood cause its caused by implanting and breaking teeny tiny blood vessels...

Hi, I'd like to join

I'm actually on CD1 today so won't be testing til 11th March, but not that far off Feb

 

[ddekerl]

A little humor to keep us all going in the TWW



So, is anyone testing today? Come on you POAS addicts, come out come out wherever you are!

 

[xxshellsxx]

Ddekerl - i'm not testing til at least 7DPO lol which will thursday/friday - which will still be too early but if i don't poas then i won't get to do it lol and i have 3 sat here waiting

 

[Bluenpinkmom]

as badly as i want to, i cannot because I have been given HCG shot and that thing is still lingering inside me

 

[xxshellsxx]

are you testing out the trigger? bluenpinkmom??

 

[Bluenpinkmom]

yup im... but to save the money and stress i have been testing out every other day since trigger.. ie testing on 2dpt, 4dpt, 6dpt and 8dpt .. 8dpt it was barely barely there.. tomorrow ill be 10dpt so i guess it will bfn !! i think im one of those chicks who gets off hcg in 10 days !!
but that being said, im advised by my RE to wait until i miss AF.. pretty crazy

 

[Lans]

Hi ladies!!
I would love to join in the wait!! I am Approx 6 dpo ( dont know for sure cause i stoped charting and opking cause they were doing my head in!!) This is my last natural cycle before i start ivf if af comes next week!
Fingers crossed for you all!!

 

[ddekerl]

I may or may not have tested at like....5pm today. At fracking 4dpo. And spent all evening torturing myself with an imagined shadow.

Hi, my name's Danielle and I'm a POASholic. I like to pee on anything that will stand still and then torture myself for days.

Am I the only one who's ever considered going and buy a blue dye test or two just for the false positive. You know for a second or two it would feel good....

(I'm a ttc masochist)

 

[xxshellsxx]

Danielle... i'm also a poas addict and poas at 4DPO last night and scrutinised it like i was going to find something

Bluenpink - Fx it doesn't fade completely and gets darker again

Lans - Fx for you!! x
