December 2017 Testers: Hopeful for Christmas and Year-end BFPs

[LuLu_TTC]

So sorry Peonies!

Corgi - Be patient until AF comes (doesn't come)!! FX, lots of people are later positives!!

Bebe - Feel you on the "strange weekend." I'll keep FX crossed for you

I was 3 days late and told myself I would not test again until Sunday (yesterday), but I woke up Saturday and felt like my period was starting (TMI alert), ran to the bathroom and about doubled over in cramping pain and bleed SO much bright red blood and what looked like clotting/tissue. Most of Saturday I bled so much I had to change tampons every 2 hours and wore a panty liner for backup. It was that bad and the few waves of cramping came on very suddenly and sharply. Quite painful. Sunday, the bright red blood and clotting continued, although lessened in quantity. I woke up this morning to just a tiny bit of blood. I will watch it throughout the day, but if I had to guess I had an early miscarriage this weekend Side note: I don't ever clot, at least nothing like this

Thoughts anyone?

So sorry about the BFN Corgi. How is your temp today? Maybe just a late implanter? FX you get answers from your doc if AF doesn't show.

Thank you md. Temp dropped about .4 degrees but is still high at 98.4. I think I messed my temps up by not consistently reading at the same time each day. I think it skewed my chart and gave me false hope

Did you take some of your temps at later time? Coz it usually gives higher temos. Hope its your real temps though and still get a

Yeah I did :/ I didn’t realize time of the day was so important to temping until it was too late. 3 days a week I wake up early for work, 2 days I go in later, and 2 days I’m off, so my timing is all over the place. My high temp yesterday was taken after sleeping in until 10:30am. It was my first month temping

Can I get some opinions? AF is due today, cycle day 25 and I was thinking I was out so I wasn’t planning on testing. I went to pee at 4:30am. Shortly after 8am we woke up and I said eff it I’ll test. And I’m seeing the faintest line ever. I see it much better in person. Help?

Sorry if they are huge. I was getting frustrated with trying to upload the pics

Sorry corgi, I'm also shocked that you got a . Unfortunately, timing is really important with temping. I have a super high temp today because I temped just 30 mins past my normal time.

Mel, I think I see a line. Can't wait for the retest.

I'm trying so hard not to test early! Yesterday felt a strong sharp pain in my side for a minute, then it went back to the general uncomfortable feeling I've had for days. Today I woke up feeling fine, but about 20 min after I got to work I started feeling really nauseous, haven't actually gotten sick, but it's been a close thing. Nipples feel slightly sore and have been to the bathroom 3 times since I got to work too.

Really trying not to test until at least 9dpo, right now it's 7dpo, but I'm hoping more and more that this is the month!

Oh Corgi - I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I haven't been TTC for quite as long as you but its also starting to get me really down. I was sad pretty much all weekend because for no reason at all I was just feeling out. Take the time you need but know that we will always be here for support when you're ready. HUGS

Mel - i think i see something, but I'm bad at the faints. FX for you

I'm either 9 or 10dpo today. BFN with FMU on a cheapie. I'll keep testing cause I always do. FX

 

[tankel]

Sorry about the bfn, dream. Still early yet.

 

[mel28nicole]

Thanks ladies, it’s more visible in person. I plan to get a first response and try it in the morning

 

[mel28nicole]

Corgi I still have hope for you! not out til AF arrives!

 

[Desire2Mom]

This was the hardest thing for me when I was temping because I work nights 9 days out of 2 weeks then have 8 days off so I transition back to waking up early. I found the best way was to always temp the same time even if I woke up to temp and went back to sleep. On my stretch of days off I would temp at 6am, and during the two weeks I worked I always took it at 3pm, even if I slept later. If any of this makes sense. FXd you aren't out yet!

 

[smurphy90]

So... I think I got the faintest of faint bfps...

I'm honestly still not convinced because they're SO faint (but I've had 5 show the same thing, from 3 urine samples over a 12 hour period).

If anyone wants to weigh their opinion on the tests, I posted one on the pregnancy test forum ( https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/pregnancy-tests/2452723-bfp-too-hesitant-believe.html#post38733461 ).

I don't really know what to think. Thank god I have a blood test tomorrow!

I still hope you get a Corgi. You're not out yet.

 

[Motherofcorgi]

I still hope you get a Corgi. You're not out yet.

Thank you md and everyone else for the kind words! I’ve been angry, bawled my eyes out, accepted it, and moved on—all this morning (lol), so anything other than AF would be a complete surprise. It would be amazing, but I’m not holding out hope anymore. Thankfully my mom is here she’s taking good care of me today.

I’m so tired of the highs and lows of ttc. I never imagined it would take this long

 

[Dill]

Hang in there, Corgi!

I see something, mel, but I'm not sure if it's more than a shadow. Are you retesting tomorrow?

And smurphy, that looks pretty big and bold to me!

AFM, just got my crosshairs. 3 dpo.

Sherri, sorry to hear you're out too!

 

[Dill]

Oh no, poor becs! I hope it gets sorted soon!!!

 

[LuLu_TTC]

Smurphy - That looks good!! Test again tomorrow

 

[mel28nicole]

I went out and got a first response. Plan to retest in the morning

 

[mel28nicole]

Smurphy your tests are faint but I see it. Can’t wait to see a retest for you
