Bringing in new year with a positive *january testing thread*

[HalfricanMa]

I’m looking forward to more tests & progression pics also!
Isn’t it funny how sometimes it’s an entire week of quietness on b&b and other times there’s about 3 pages loaded onto a single thread in 2 hours! Hahaha.

@tdog good luck with your next tests
@ChibiLena thanks for looking
@littlewitch good to see you. Hope all is well.

I'm doing okay, NightFlower. My baby boy turns one in just a few days.
In other interesting baby-related news, my husband acted a sperm donor for one of my long time friends. She is now pregnant with her first baby; a little boy.

Wow can't believe your son will be 1 already.

I don't know if I'd be able to handle my OH doing that. Did he have to sign paper work for that ect. Was it through a clinic? How exciting for your friend.

 

[MrsKatie]

Oh @NightFlower I am loving those tests!

@HalfricanMa praying as always sweetie

@gigglebox i always have cramping during pregnancy this just felt different or maybe in my head it felt different cause turns out im freakin’ paranoid!

I am not gonna test anymore I think until I get home from my trip, by then I’ll be 5 weeks and hopefully the lines will be more satisfying. Plus I’ll be home and able to get in to the doc if I’m worried.

 

[tdog]

@MrsKatie that sounds like a good plan enjoy your trip xx

I did test I'm sure we have some faint lines but then again sure my eyes are having line eye moments lol xx

He did sign a legal contract.
I helped my friend with tracking OPK, finding the best at-home insemination syringe and the ICI process. She truly has always wanted to be a mother, and is choosing the path of single mom by choice.
I was happy to help.
In the end, I figured that it isn't the same as conceiving our children was, built of shared love.
He was just contributing the proteins and code necessary to make her dream come true.

Sorry @tdog im not seeing much but I would imagine it’s my phone.

@MrsKatie good idea. If I ever become pregnant again I am determined to test once when af is late and that’s it. All the stress I put myself through on this pregnancy and it didn’t tell me anything.

That's OK I find once uploaded can't hardly see it afterwards but in fairness I'm thinking of just not testing now only if af due, I stress so much over lines or lack of xx

It’s so hard to do but oh my goodness the stress we cause ourselves. Hoping you get a darker line soon x

Stress jeez lol thanks hunni if I do test I'll keep you all posted xx

 

[Beeka]

I think I have bad line eyes! ….something was catching my eye on the top IC. Nothing on CB. 7 or 8 dpo. I wish I could be more patient and wait until 12 dpo to start testing.

What a great thing to do. My donor is also married with his own family and his wife doesn’t mind him donating.

 

[Beeka]

Top test dried. Still a shadow there but no colour. Not sure you’ll be able to see it. Seems to disappear when I upload.

 

[tdog]

@Beeka I thought i saw something but like you when upload mine seems to disappear lol, I'm thinking I might be 9 or 10dpo but haven't tested yet tbh don't think I want to, with my last baby I stressed myself so much so I'm trying my hardest not to stress lol xx

 

[Beeka]

Ok so I’m breaking all the rules and have gone back to CB 1 hour later … never had an evap before although I know others often do.

Yeah these tests do tend to dry like this quite often. What’s the thickness like irl?

 

[HalfricanMa]

@Beeka I had that same thing except thicker and darker and was still an evap. I think with those tests that time limit is a hard rule. But totally sending a prayer up for you.

@tdog I also said the same thing about trying to wait. Last pregnancy every cycle that i tested early didnt succeed but when I waited for my birthday knowing dh would be home from work and we could test together- that was 11dpo and the tests were unquestionable and an amazing birthday gift! And that was a fun moment to have with my husband. I may try to go that route again, it’s just so hard not to stress and be overly excited to test. Men dont *really* understand because they never have a sneak person suddenly onboard enjoying life sustained by them that they one day learn about and get to care for. Lol!

But im sat here 7days late after a few hours worth of spotting on cd 24. I’m terrified to test.
