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

Forums New posts
Definitely still early!

AFM, AF should be here tomorrow. Started having some weird cramping, so hopefully she's on her way!
 
Hi everyone, I'm new to forums (in general). Are you still accepting October testers to join up? I expect to be testing October 31st (the day after my next AF is due). Right now I'm CD13 and approaching my fertile days. I am currently starting to use BBT, have been tracking CM (third cycle in), and use OPKs like a mad person.
 
Thanks for the friendly welcome girls. I'm excited to follow everybody's journeys. This process can really take its toll. Last cycle I thought I had a BFP (very clear light blue line on a clear blue easy test, that appeared within the 10 minutes) but it got lighter, disappeared a few days later. At ten days late for AF the Dr. said I only had an HCG level of 2. AF finally came at 14 days late. So we were thinking it was a chemical pregnancy. This is my first cycle after that, some I'm trying to be very vigilant about tracking my cycle with all means necessary (in case it gets thrown off by the disruption). So far I seem to be back to my regular patterns. (I'm usually a very regular 29/30 day cycle). I'm a little nervous though. Fingers crossed!
 
Sorry about the possible chemical!

So, tell us about yourself. Age? OH's age? Number of cycles TTC? Temping/charting/OPKing? Link to chart, if applicable. Favorite food? Shoe size? (just kidding on the last two :haha:)

So I'm 29 years old (30 in January). My Husband is 32. We're coming up on our 5th wedding anniversary and have been together for almost 9 years. Just started to TTC #1 this past summer. This will be our 3rd cycle actively TTC. Stopped using protection in late July but after my fertile time would have ended. I did all of my checkups and dentist stuff in July to make sure I was in tip top condition.

I've been charting using just my wall calendar. I use Rite aid brand OPKs (the kind with the holder that you can use midstream). I recently got the little rite aid brand dip sticks because they were cheaper, but I don't trust them because every day this cycle they have been positive. Whereas the midstream ones have not been). I am a POASaholic and I'm possibly going broke buying all of these tests to track my data (I save them and label them with CD#, time of day, etc.) I also use them morning and night to make sure I'm not missing a surge, lol.

I'm just starting to use OVUfriend but the data isn't complete since I started charting BBT on Cycle day 9. Once I have more days of data in there I'll try to figure out how to link it.

Welcome! Sorry about the chemical pregnancy...I wonder if that's what im having now? Im 11 days late today...I had some really light brown spotting saturday...like brownish eggwhitish if that makes sence only twice like little drops. And yesterday I had dark brown spotting like 3 times and it was a little more than drops but not much at all. (Sorry so tmi) thought it could maybe be implantation bleeding but idk..took a test this morning and bfn :( did u have an IB or spotting? This is def not AF and I haven't spotted at all yet today..
 
Hey Sophie, I didn't have any spotting. The day I took the pregnancy test was about 13 dpo and I only took it because I started having an abundance of CM (which had never happened to me before). I waited until I was 7 days late and was having some pain (at that point the faint lines I had been seeing had disappeared) then went and called my Dr. for a quantitative HcG test (not the yes/no test, but the one that gives you a number. It was really the only thing that finally stopped me from feeling crazy. I would say, if you are getting a BFN at 11 days late, get the HcG test at the Dr. and then see what it says. They say that with chemical pregnancies your HcG has to drop down to 0 again for you to get your AF. On the other hand, you could have O'd later than you thought and that could have been implantation bleeding, or breakthrough bleeding.

Really, there's no telling what's going on with so many possible variables. Just breathe and keep on keeping on.
 
You can have >5mIU of Hcg in your system naturally at any time during your cycle without actually being pregnant....most Dr.'s consider pregnancy anything over, but some use 10mIU as a reference point.
 
Welcome Elsa & ladyluck! :wave: Wow, two Halloween testers, how fun! Sending you boatloads of dust! :dust::dust::dust:

Sorry, Sophie, I don't have any insight or advice really. My cycle 7 turned out just to be a super long cycle with only brown spotting around when AF was due...then I think about 19 days later my real AF finally showed. Lots of ladies sometimes just have fluke long cycles here or there. :shrug: But I've also heard of women that take a few weeks to show a BFP with urine. Hope you are apart of that last group :hugs:
 
@Lilly: I promised Pirate I'd test with her, so whatever day that is - sign me up. Officially, my test date should be 10/28 (14 DPO, assuming I'm 1 DPO now).

And this is the month for spotting... I had spotting for 3 days when I should have ovulated way back in the CD-teens, and had 2 days of off-and-on light spotting with a positive OPK (Sunday - today, now CD 30). Trying not to hate my body for punishing me for quitting smoking by jacking up my cycles... and just keeping my FX that this is a LUCKY month for me. Cycle 12, of course it will be super long and torturous!
 
10/24! Hopefully we can get some October BFPs on that day! Hopefully Biblio will give us one earlier!
 
Welcome new ladies, I hope you bring us good luck.
Although I think I need it next month now. 11dpo and bfn on an ic. Boo.
