Cheers to BFPs in 2-0-1-6!

Angel- I usually have a 12 day LP, so really not expecting much haha.

 

[broodymrs]

Hope you can get the cost down abe. A 12 day lp would have been good for me and I got a bfn on an IC at 10dpo, faint positive at 11dpo. Honestly the only tests giving me visible clear results before 14dpo were the early response ones. I wouldn't even waste my time with ic's if we ever ttc again

Abe, i hope AF has stayed away!

Im CD10 today, got to say i quite like not temping or ov testing! I thought id have trouble with not knowing whats going on but surprisingly I dont care woo

I ordered some cheapie hpts which got here yesterday. I decided to test them out (poasaholic is strong here). My boobs are still feeling weirdly sore & ive felt a bit off so I thought id rule it out. As expected bfn, but i looked again when i got home and there was a line on it! Must be an evap but ive never ever had that happen before. So weird!

 

[abennion]

Looks like AF should be here today or tomorrow. Kind of relieved, actually. I knew there was little chance it would happen this cycle, at least now I'll have 28-day cycles leading up to IVF (and then hopefully not have cycles for the next 9 months!).

Abe - good ok with ivf!! I can't wait to see how that goes!

Sheece - that is odd. What brand cheapies did you get? I use Wondfos and never once got an evap (and I've used hundreds, literally, and usually saved them for days). Did the line have color? Most Evaps are grayish.

 

[Etisgonnab]

Hey all--was lurking on the thread and wanted to chime in real quick for Sheece. I second Angel's question about which brand and if there was a color to the line. I used Wandfos and it took them way longer to dry and show any kind of line at all at the beginning. So what looked like a negative test initially ended up being very faintly positive a few hours later. I also used Easy @ Home strips which showed lines much faster and more clearly than any of the other brands I tried. So the line could be a good sign

 

[Angel5000]

That's exactly where i was going with that! With my Wondfo's, on all 3 bfp's I've had, they initially looked negative but when I checked a few hours later they had lines (pink). And then later I was able to confirm with other brands and/or dr visit.

 

[Sheece]

you guys getting my hopes up, I like it haha

I must admit yesterday I was wondering if maybe I'd ovulated really early.

I'm not sure what brand they are but I'm pretty sure there was some colour to it. It was faint but definitely there. I'll attach a photo, hopefully you can see it. Enhanced (first pic) and original. ITs easier to see on my phone so not sure if it will work! It's def there in person though.

Took one this morning and it was bfn so I'll see what it says when I get back from work!

 

[Sheece]

Definitely bfn on the one from today there goes that theory. It did have divots on the test strip though , prob wouldnt make a difference though.

 

[Etisgonnab]

Bummer. It's still early though so who knows what a few days will show

 

[abennion]

AF is here. Looks like I'm out of TTC until IVF! Good luck ladies! I'll be watching from the sidelines cheering you all on!

 

[broodymrs]

Good luck for Ivf abe!

Sheece something catches my eye on the top test. How many dpo are you?

 

[Sheece]

Good luck abe!!

Found the brand name of my tests - they are fertility2family (an aussie site I got them off) I had a google and there are a lot of people saying they got evaps off them, so I'm betting it was that.

Considering I'm only on CD 13 haha

I wish I knew why my boobs were still sore though! This better not be a fun new thing my body has decided I should have grr.

We are going away this weekend for our anniversary & my birthday is Sat too, so looking forward to relaxing & baby making Hoping to see some EWCM the next few days, fingers crossed!

 

[Whimsical88]

abe i hope IVF works out in the first cycle. when is your appointment to discuss next steps? also im so happy that you are getting to do IVF soon, normally people wait for ages before they get to do IVF

Sheece, im confused. baby making after you started hpt????? i did see the first test and it looked like it had a line, but if there was nothing the next then maybe its still early to test.
happy birthday and happy anniversary

 

[abennion]

Whimsy- we had our next steps appointment back in the beginning of July. DH and I knew we didn't want to try IUIs and have them fail miserably and then have to fork over thousands of dollars for IVF anyways, so we jumped straight to it. I actually got a call yesterday after I called in CD1, and the nurse said they may be able to offer us a cycle as soon as next week after my HSG!

 

[Angel5000]

That's so exciting abe!

 

[broodymrs]

Fab news abe! The hsg I rate really highly too!

 

[Sheece]

great news Abe, how exciting!!!


Whimsy - I was thinking there may be a possibility I ovulated early, or it was from last cycle, hence the test (I just tested as I had a feeling). BFN for sure and now im on CD 14 so coming up to OV I hope soon.

 

[Whimsical88]

oh Abe thats so exciting. cant wait for that journey of yours

Sheece well then you need to get all the you can in this coming week and esp on the weekend.

Hello ladies! I haven't been on B&B in several months. I was getting really stressed out and I had a lot of exciting things to look forward to in my summer (vacations, projects, etc.) sooo I decided to quit "thinking" so much and sort of backed away and focused on having fun and just let things happen.

There was still plenty of BD-ing of course and I've still always been aware of when my fertile time should be. This month though we re-focused and used our pre-seed. I feel really positive right now but we all know how that goes. AF is due 7/31 (Happy Birthday HP!! any fellow Potter fans out there?). So about another week left in the stupid TWW.

I am CD 20 My CP is medium-ish (im pretty sure its not high but idk if it would be considered low) but very soft and open. I was pretty sure I O'd back around the 15th based on my CM, but I've been having increased somewhat watery and white (is that considered creamy?) CM the last couple days. Enough that I've had to go to the bathroom because it just feels like a rush and then I feel all gross lol.

Thoughts?
