Does Anyone Else Not Test Early? JOIN US (12 BFP So Far!)

[justmeinlove]

Yeah I'm about a stone more than I'd like but the fitness is def the best bit BMI of 26 isn't Too far out of standard, on the good side. My BMI is ok, it's just apparently lots of fat!

 

[plastikpony]

Well, I'm off to deliver shoes and ride a horsie! (and hopefully drop a kg )

Have a lekker (awesome) evening peeps!

im am currently 2 days late have not tested again and i have no symptoms apart from sore boobs under my arms not nice to wear a bra.

thanks for all the advice you guys are awesome

 

[justmeinlove]

So for today's fun and inadvertant 'symptom', we have stabby pains in my right hand side, just above my hip bone. This could admittedly be from the weight lifting last night Although I don't 'think' so because I actually made sure to 'brace my core' this time.

Plastik, we're copying each other - down temp days are way less cool for sure

Vampy - probably not a bad plan to hold off for a few days - if you are pregnant, you still will be in a few days. Although big hugs for what I imagine is frustrating, I know I lose it a bit by around 13 dpo...!

 

[plastikpony]

Mmm, yes. Not impressed with my temp going down a touch today, and even less impressed that I won't get a decent temp tomorrow since I'm getting up an hour earlier than usual for work AF due Fri or Sat, FF suggests I test on Sat. I'm away with my folks this weekend so would actually like to know beforehand so I know if I can indulge in a beer with my dad or not. But I don't want to test early. Decisions decisions!!!
Maybe I'll test Fri morning if my temp is still way up there. If it continues down then I'll just leave it as AF will probably be flying in.

No symptoms for me really. Still a bit crampy and gassy, bbs are sore, but these are all the usual thing before AF. Nothing to make me think "HAZA!! I must be pg!!"

Vampy, I agree with JustMe, if you are pg you still will be in a day or two. And every day you wait is a day of hope

We know this couple who got pg just after we started trying and had a miscarriage at about 15 weeks, then they got pregnant again and she miscarried again last night SO scary!! Just goes to show, getting pg is only the first bit...

 

[justmeinlove]

Yeah, totally, I'm not sure what point I'd be able to relax, even if it did happen. So sorry to hear about your friend does she get specialist care next time? I hope so

 

[plastikpony]

I hope so!! Think she may have this time around too since she isn't a 'spring chicken' anymore. Not ancient, but over 35 I think.

On the bright side, she already has the most amazing 9 yr old son. Not that that makes it easier. Devastating.

I was chatting to my MIL last night and found out that she was pg 7 times and ended up with 4 kids. Her first son died at 3 months (about), and she had one miscarriage and one ectopic pregnancy. My DH was convieved last, after her miscarriage and with only 1 tube!!

 

[flamingpanda]

Plastik, if you were to disregard yesterday you're temp is still rising. Ignore individual temps that don't make sense, the overall trend from what I can see is up up up!

 

[flamingpanda]

Also if you wanted to test Friday I don't see that being too early. You'd be 13 DPO. According to a chart I have in front of me at 13dpo 68% of women will get a BFP if they are pregnant. That's not bad odds. That's also based on the pee stick having a sensitivity of 25, you could get one with more sensitivity to up the odds. That way at least you can have guilt free beers this weekend if not. If you're still thinking about it I believe www.peeonastick.com has a page listing test sensitivity so you can pick the right brand.

 

[plastikpony]

Thanks Panda!!

Had a look at the website and unfortunately we don't get the majority of those tests here in SA! I only have one left and it's a 25 miui, so I guess we'll see! My luteal phase is generally 13 days long, so Friday I would be due. Although once or twice I've gone to 14 days, but not often!

I think I'll go by my temp on Friday. If it's still up there, I'll test, if it's heading south I'll assume I'm on my way out and enjoy a beer with my dad (but won't go nuts, you know, just in case )

How are you feeling dear? Got any bump pics for us yet??

 

[plastikpony]

Well, even an hour early I got a decent temp today! Must say I'm kinda happy abouth that!! Think it's going to be hard not to test if my temp is still high tomorrow! Dammit! Why do I let myself get even a littl e excited every month!!!

Well I'd better get up and get going! I go underground at a mine today, actually quite exciting

 

[justmeinlove]

Well it's ok to be getting excited by this point, don't be too hard on yourself. I have ti ask, why are you going in a mine?!

Afm, I am excited too by my temp and it's much less excusable with me cos I am only 9 dpo and my temps are following a fairly standard pattern so far, if at a higher level.

I have all my fingers crossed for your tomorrow temp and possible test!

 

[plastikpony]

Eeek!! Your temPs are looking great just me!! I sell safety boots, so I'm goInv under ground to assess underfoot conditions at a diamond mine and recommend product!

Just had a good look at FF and it says 'possibly triphasic from cd 23' !!! As if I wasn't excited enough...

 

[justmeinlove]

Diamonds, eh... :-D ;-)

Er. I really need some help. Just went to the loo. Wiped, and loo roll had a whole wipe of blood on it. Like the first wipe of 'oh my period has started'. Except I'm 9 dpo. Can you guys Please tell me if this can be Anythi other than implantation bleedin' am kind of shocked atm and Really need help!

 

[plastikpony]

Is it red blood?

 

[iow_bird]

Hi just popping in to say hi! Both of your charts look awesome!! Good luck girls! xx x

 

[plastikpony]

Way too early to be AF JustMe! The only thing I can think of is implantation bleeding! Holding thumbs!! Your temp is also too high for it to be AF, so try not to stress!!

 

[justmeinlove]

It was red, yeah, but has stopped now. Er, applied a finger to check that's where the blood was coming from, and got a dot of red blood on my finger and nothing else.
Am not worried about it being AF, but really nervous about consider it as IB. So wondering if other options!!

 

[plastikpony]

IB is supposed to be brown or pink, since that means its old blood, but Ive heard a few stories where it was reb. Apologies for the personal question, but did you maybe DTD last night or this morning? Coz that can cause it sometimes as far as I know.

 

[justmeinlove]

Nope, we did not. Man had exams today and we were sleepy ;-)
