December 2018 Testing Thread ~ FX for Christmas BFPs!!

[bumble b]

I'm charting & used opks so i'm now 9dpo possibly 10, ff moved me back a day. I test early because i'm too impatient & mental hahaha. Just did the other tesco one & its an obvious line, can they really be that crap.

AF just showed up, so I'm out! I hate her! Lol Good luck to the rest of you ladies.

thencomesbebe - is your cycle going to be monitored every couple days to see how your follicles are doing? Just curious how you have a trigger and IUI date already.

 

[KeepTryinLuv]

I should have waited to test a bit more. 5 days until AF and I'm already obsessing over very faint lines.

This month I didn't chart or track temps, but a few days before ovulation I tracked and tried everything. OPKs, Vicks "fluidifying" syrup (thins CM and internal fluid secretions, like an internal pre-seed), evening primrose oil (increases CM amount), pre-seed, vitamins and CoQ10 and we BD all 5 days in the fertile window.

...and on ovulation day I switched "off" and stayed busy, going out to dinners with friends, back to NO TRACKING, NO CHARTING, no wondering.

But I decided to test because all day on 6-7 DPO I had a strong burning ache very low, in a very limited spot just above my pelvic bone and it didn't stop for 36 hours. It was hard to ignore even if I was busy or even falling asleep.

So I took a test on 7 DPO and it was obviously white but there was a faint shadow if I held the strip against a source of light.

Today on 8 DPO faint lines appeared:

Maybe? or Queen of Evaps? Nervous they might be just indents or evaps or won't get darker and AF would arrive. At least it's still early but it's going to be a LONG week.

So this just came in and I kind of feel like a science project

Been away from this forum for a while. I’ve had a lot IRL.

Congrats on all the BFP’s so far!

Hugs to those who are out this month and fingers crossed for a BFP for you soon!

I’m on CD 14 and got a positive OPK yesterday. I have been taking folic acid this cycle and we’re also doing somewhat of a SMEP method.

I hope this will be our cycle. We’ll know around the 23rd or so.

FX for you!!!

10dpo I think I may see something, I haven't tested up until now I wish I didn't! ♡

I see second lines with color. Hope they darken up for you fast. Hugs

I’m 7dpo today and also gave in and tested at 6dpo! I’m also getting faint lines too. That look like this, and I’m using the same tests! I have a thread if you’d like to take a look I really hope they aren’t evaps or indents for us!! X

I'm out this month absolutely gutted. New years babe hopefully!

If you have 2 the same, they surely must be positive. Have you posted a pic? X

This was 2nd one...

Ooh, I think you're gonna have a conclusive BFP tomorrow.

Ooh, I think you're gonna have a conclusive BFP tomorrow.

Knowing my luck i wont lol! Destined to be bankrupt lol.

There are a few of us in the faint line club in here, i really hope that you ladies all get your bfp's. I have 3 boys already so maybe i'm being too greedy.
Ttc has been a tough journey still though, we have lost 4 babies & had chemical pgs, clomid, long cycles & then some hard pregnancy journeys too. I just want to say that i'm rooting for you all & wish you all so much luck

They're not evaps! Fx for you!

There are a few of us in the faint line club in here

Being part of the faint line club involves a mixture of feelings, neither BFN nor BFP, just cliffhangers and suspense.

But at least there are others on this thread who can relate...

I’m also getting faint lines too. That look like this, and I’m using the same tests!

Really? I just saw your post. Yours look promising this month!

Glad I'm not alone in this. But after so many months of nothing and one CP, I need bold lines to smile a little. Mine are still too close to indent looking lines today at 8 DPO.

I'm running out of strips and I order mine from the UK to Italy (it takes a week). So I have to wait to test again and I'll use my 2 remaining FRERs for 10 and 12 DPO.

thencomesbebe - is your cycle going to be monitored every couple days to see how your follicles are doing? Just curious how you have a trigger and IUI date already.

My cycle was checked last month and me and DH both had panels drawn. Our doctor created a plan based off what he already knows about us, he put me in Letrozole (I'm on day 3 now), scheduled an HSG for Friday, then Sunday is a scan and most likely trigger if he likes how everything looks, and IUI is scheduled based on that for Tuesday. Obviously if things aren't looking the way he expects them to the dates may change, but he seems very confident. He knows better than I do so I trust him

Edit*** Forgot to mention last cycle he found an 18mm follicle appx 3 days before I O'd which I grew naturally, and each ovary had a good number (8 or 9 on the right 11 or 12 on the left). Tests also show a great ovarian reserve. Our only two issues were that I have slight hypothyroidism and DH has just below what they wanted to see for count and motility.

Hey guys!

Just wanted to check in with everyone and post something strange in my cycle so I would remember....

I NEVER get Implantation bleeding wjtb any of my pregnancies so anytime I have started bleeding on my AF it has truly been AF.

However! Today I am on CD24, 9DPO, of my average 28-29 day cycles and I have wiped and has brown discharge!

Initial reaction= upset and confused tonwhy im starting my period.

Second reaction- courting the days and realizing it could be IB, Exciting!

How I feel now... After that wipe earlier it has stopped. Now, just before bed, went to the bathroom and it was brownish pink and not so much discharge but clear if that makes sense?

So now I feel like this is AF on its way but why would she be coming so early! My average cycles are 28-29 days with having one 30 day cycle in the last 6 months. Surely I would not be having a 24 day cycle!

Ugh I am frustrated as I felt this is the first month since we started trying September that we were actually together DTD at the right time!

I was also doing good and not planning on testing until Saturday, Dec 15th! Now who knows what will happen!

Send some prayers my way ladies!!

 

[MinnieMcMoose]

11 dpo today and something is catching my eye on my FRER. Only just tho, I even keep losing it myself lol. Not sure if there's any colour there or frankly if it's even a figment of my imagination

Temperature wise, I'm back in the game baby!! Guess the drop was either a normal fluctuation and i was overthinking it or it was the secondary oestrogen surge. Either way, it's high for me at the moment :-D

Edit: just checked through my fertility friend history and although I've only been bbt charting since April, this is the highest temp I've had (36.75 / 98.15) with the exception of the cycle i had in July where I had a chemical!!
