End of February Testing Thread - Welcome back January Testers and welcome new comers!

[goldstns]

I can but you know how frer sometimes has that indent that tricks people??

ya First resp REALLY tricked me last month (or it was a chemical). But I know EVERYONE could see my line last month on FR. I wont use FR again.

 

[goldstns]

Kyla sending hugs and hope your way! I hate the feeling you are currently in!

Tuesday?! You would think by now someone could invent a home blood pregnancy test. Like a glucometer? Prick your finger and it will tell you the hcg level???? Aww Kyla, I really hope you have a better day! Your clearblue definitely had a blue line!

 

[tryingandhope]

It so did! I'm not crazy I swear to God it's there! I feel like this is a cruel joke. I was talking to my best friend yesterday and I said 'i'm scared, what if it doesn't stick?' and she said oh I don't think God's that cruel.

 

[goldstns]

I agree with Rachel- do another clearblue test.

Rachel- I didn't see a line, but I know they are hard to see in pictures. How are you feeling today?

AFM, I am 6dpo (finally got my cross hairs!!) and I feel nothing! Which is good because that means I am not symptom spotting. I really bad tummy ache and bloated went away for the most part. I think it was IBS. Anyone (Morilee) know anything about fallback temps? Does it mean anything?

 

[HWPG]

sorry, golds, it really doesnt mean anything.... and i have really wanted it to mean something in the past. FF gives you lots of possible reasons why women see it, but, like most things, it only means something in hindsight (i.e. if you got preg, than maybe it was impantation.) But if you dont get preg, it doesnt mean anything. awesome, eh?

Nikki - yay for crosshairs!! I hope it is your month! When will you start testing?

AFM, I woke up cranky today with cramps and twinges. Probably AF coming to town. My temp dipped today so I assume she's coming. I still POAS because I'm addicted and there's definitely a line there but I'm thinking its an indent. I used fmu and I got no sort of line yesterday with tests from the same box...who knows.

im 3dpo can I join your thread?

 

[overanalyzer]

Yay for the crosshairs, Nikki!

Kyla - just get in your car and drive to the states to get a test done here! I'm so sorry hun. I do not believe God can be so cruel...at least I'm hoping he wouldn't be. We are all hanging here with you and I'm now hoping this weekend will fly by.

im 3dpo can I join your thread?

Of course you can! Welcome. How long have you and your DH been ttc? Sending lots of positivity your way!

 

[tryingandhope]

Another negative FRER... i'm going back to bed.

Kyla - I am going to chime in and saw I say a line yesterday, and I wouldn't BS you. Just try to hold out! No more testing today! And yes, it's bull crap that it takes so long to get blood results back.
I think it's a great idea about having a blood HPT, like a glucose meter! Why has that not been marketed yet??? I would pay a pretty penny for one!

 

[BubsMom17]

Rachel - Sorry my dear, I don't see a line. But that doesn't mean you are out, yet!

 

[jury3]

I thought you were going to hold it this time! You are peeing about every 2 hours..stop it! lol Please, please don't give up yet! I know it's got to be so hard not knowing and playing the waiting game, but try to wait at least until tomorrow morning after you've held it for as long as you can. 12dpo is still early!

 

[BubsMom17]

AFM, very crampy today, like a tight belt around my uterus/ovaries. I was very bloated yesterday, even my wedding ring was tight. Well last night I had horrible night sweats and when I weighed myself this morning I was 1.4 pounds lighter than yesterday! I lost that much water weight over night!

 

[goldstns]

im 3dpo can I join your thread?

welcome!!!

 

[overanalyzer]

Emily that's awesome! Every one pound for me is like 10 in my mind haha.

Kyla my dear, I'm with Julie, please please don't give up! We all saw that line yesterday! If you need to, take some benedryl (safe if pg) and watch some of your fav. tv shows/movies. Nap when you feel like it and by goly, eat some chocolate! No more testing for now. Or, sleep then go shopping and baby yourself a little. You deserve it! Massage? Pedicure?

ASFM - so I've mentioned how I'm scared I'll start my next cycle when on vaca therefore not be able to go in for baseline tests...I just thought of a great plan and got it okayed from the clinic. I have a refill left of the clomid so I will fill that prescript and take it with me to Mexico. If I start cycle while there I will just do another normal round of clomid, no monitoring. This way, at least my chances of having a more normal/shorter cycle are good which means less waiting for ANOTHER cycle and the sooner I can get help with monitoring! I'm pretty excited about it. Can one become addicted to clomid? I think I might be .

being on a diet I weight myself every night and morning (DONT JUDGE!) and you usually weight about 1-2 lbs less in the morning because of your body still working for 8 hours but you don't consume foods. It is totally normal to lose that much weight over night.

AWESOME!!!

Well I am SUPER excited for tomorrow... I have my first apt with a fertility specialist. My DH is coming too. He has offered to do a sperm sample. I am excited to go on clomid if that is the path they send me on. So id say I am addicted to the idea of going on clomid!

And for those that asked I am going to test Sat 23rd. For a few reasons... 1. I am sick of chemicals/false pos. so I am truly waiting til after AF is due. And 2. because the number 23 is my lucky number.

Well I have been dieting and I weigh myself twice a week at the same time first thing in the morning. I got really frustrated yesterday because despite the calorie counting/working out, I had gained 2 ounces from the week before, which didn't make sense because I have been losing inches around my hips (and my boobs... whah...). BUT I knew I was retaining a ton of water yesterday, which I usually do post O. So I drank a bucket of water yesterday. So... based on the amount of sweat that came out of me in the night (DH was even grossed out that the sheets were wet, and my hair was soaked), I decided to weigh myself again, and tah-dah, I had lost weight from the week before!
