[CLOSED]***Lucky LTTTC Testers***

[LillyTame]

Oooh ok, yea I know how that is It's gonna go right....soooooooooooo RIGHT!

 

[Fezzle]

It's going to go right- they aren't independent things!

AFM- maybe in the TWW, not sure. OH wanted to sleep with the windows open last night and I woke up freezing, so not sure about my temps. I'm going to try to get one more BD session in tonight.

 

[Platinumvague]

Because I just can't fathom that two things could actually go right lilly. one is already blowing my mind.. I mean between cancer, celiac, polyps and other stuff I am really in shock.

Are you going to test early? Or unlike me actually wait until your testing date

 

[LillyTame]

She is already testing! we just gotta wait for that bfp!

 

[Platinumvague]

Aww good luck

 

[Renaendel]

Yes, I am going keep testing. Even if I get a chemical, I want to know that something worked.

You've been testing?! Where are pictures?

 

[Renaendel]

Sorry, I have been keeping my journal away from any real tww stuff. I told you guys to slap me if I got serious in there, and you all are scary so I kept the tests out.

Here is my first blank test with a mark where the line should be. Today looks the same.

 

[LillyTame]

Where's the control line on that thing? Or does it only get one line and that's when it's a pos?

 

[Renaendel]

My camera cut it off lilly.

Here is today. I am not hopeful, but still glad I am testing. I would rather know.

 

[LillyTame]

aww, ok, I see now. Now those are the 10miu right? Where did you buy them? I might want to get a pack or two

 

[Renaendel]

They are 10miu. I just buy them off of Amazon.com. I am sure though if you prefer eBay there are reputable sellers there that have SurePredict. The only issue with them is that sometimes they are a little too sensitive. If you naturally have more hcg in your urine, some women have as much as five miu, you may pull pink lines that look like bfps. I am lucky enough to sit less than 1 naturally so I can trust their results. I would try a small pack first and see how your pee works with them.

Thank you, ladies, but I was sure hoping to come to someone else's good news. Sorry to hear about AF Kuawen AF is due for me on Sunday. So I know there is still a chance and all that jazz I just have no reason to believe this cycle will be any different than the last 17

Because it doesn't work for any of us, until it does, my friend!

This was an interesting bit of information from another board I check in on every now and again (reddit.com/r/tryingforababy)

"Ok so I was using my Googlefu skills yesterday and came across this info on another forum (whattoexpect.com, I believe)... I thought it was incredibly helpful and that lots of ladies here would think so as well!

" hCG doubles every 48 hours. You can have a level of 1 - 5 in a non pregnant state.
Implantation could be later than you think.
If a woman implants at 8dpo, with a 'non pregnant' hCG level of 1 [Which is totally normal] it would rise as follows:
8dpo - 1miu hcg 10dpo - 2miu 12dpo - 4miu 14dpo [Day AF is typically due] - 8miu 16dpo - 16miu
So this lady wouldn't find out until 15dpo on a very sensitive 10miu pregnancy test, superdrug own or possibly asda own. Obviously if she implants LATER than 8dpo [which is normal] she will find out even later.
Now, Take a lady who implants at 8dpo, but has a'Non pregnant' hCG level of 5. Hers looks like this:
8dpo - 5miu 10dpo- 10miu - Could find out here on superdrug own, internet cheapie 12dpo - 20miu - Could find out here with freedom cheapie strip/most poundland tests and asda own] 14dpo - 40miu [day period is typically due] Most tests would pick it up here
So, this lady, even though implantation is on the same say for both ladies, can find out MUCH sooner. Now, If this lady were to implant at 6dpo she could potentially find out at just 8dpo. But if the first lady were to implant at 12dpo, she would find out even later, even if they have the same cycle and OV days!"
So this gives us a better idea of why some of us get BFPs earlier than others, and I think will help people feel less discouraged when they don't get one too early! (Like me with my 10 DPO BFN this morning...)"

I don't know how scientifically accurate it is, but it seemed to make sense to me. It also explains why some people pop out that BFP just about as quickly as they ovulate, and other people don't get their BFP until a week after their period was due.

Anyway, I thought it was interesting information. =)

Mathematically this works out, but it's not telling the whole story, as it assumes that the serum level is directly proportional to the urine level (which it most certainly is NOT) and that these two women have the same rate of metabolism for beta-hCG (which is also unlikely, as there are multiple variants of multiple genes that control how fast you break down hormones, like beta-hCG, down into waste/ urine). Long story short - the range is actually broader - you can really see people get the start of a BFP on 6 DPO and others who may not see one until 13-15 DPO (and I have seen some that have gotten them at 17-21 DPO) and then there are exceptional cases that it doesn't show up in urine until nearly the second trimester, but can be confirmed in serum (blood) long before that time.

Yes, I am going keep testing. Even if I get a chemical, I want to know that something worked.

You know my feelings on this. As long as a CP won't damage you emotionally, Rock On with your testing.

I wonder how MItoDC is doing, she hasn't been on since he last post

 

[Elsa50501]

Renae, your chart is looking so strong and healthy! I love that jump yesterday, GL!

 

[Renaendel]

Thanks Elsa. I really don't know what to think of this month now. Temp today didn't have three consecutive hours of sleep so I don't trust it.

Are you still testing? I usually don't even mention mine on here, anymore, because there's nothing to talk about - I was just curious.

 

[Renaendel]

I am, and I have a faint something this morning. It is posted in my journal. I don't know if it is real or not. Once I see progression I'll declare preggers.

 

[LillyTame]

OMG OMG OMG! Running to your journal! I better see something!

 

[MollyGrue]

I see something! And 9dpo is SO early, so I would expect it to be light. I can't wait to see tomorrow!!!!
