Hi ladies! Mind if I join you? I've been hesitant about getting on another TWW thread, they're always such a let down, especially the regular TTC ones with all those first month BFP's floating around.
Thank you, Bluenpinkmom, for starting this one here in LTTTC. I look forward to seeing some beautiful BFP's here.
Today is 7/8 dpo for me (I O'd overnight, not sure when), and 10 days past trigger. I've been testing out my trigger and today was the first day it was totally gone. (Yay!) Normally I am not a symptom spotter, but this month I can't help myself. I just feel so positive that things are moving in the right direction. This is my first IUI cycle and DH and I did 3 home-IUI's ourselves. We did one on 1 dp-trigger, another on 2 dp-trigger, and one more on 3 dp-trigger. On 5 dpo I started getting some light "cramping" in the evening. Not exactly cramping, but a similar, very odd feeling, kind of like stretching??? (More specific details are listed in my journal.) I have never had this kind of sensation in my life. Ever. The feeling intensified over the next 24 hours and became so strong last night I had trouble sleeping. now the feeling has started to fade out. SOmething is telling me that an egg either implanted or tried to. Nothing rational, but I truly believe it.
Then this AM I got an "implantation" dip. I have never in my 2+ years of temping ever gotten one, so I am taking it as a good sign!! This is the first time in over a year I have actually felt GOOD about a cycle! I have this feeling that if I don't get a BFP this month, that it won't be too far off until I do.
Bluenpinkmom- Your newest stick definitely does look a bit darker. Will you post with your next test tomorrow?
ilovegoob- Don't lose hope, hunny! Implantation can occur anytime between 4-11dpo. (Sometimes later, but usually there is something wrong with those eggs.) Once implantation occurs, it takes 2-3 days to build up enough hCG for a +HPT. So unless you are getting a BFN at 14 dpo, I wouldn't put too much stock in it.
