Armywife...it looks like its starting to get out of your system and then its getting darker...maybe the start of your true bfp????

Yeah. I was getting blank tests for a few days and then a dark line. so I'm waiting to see what happens the next few days

Thanks hun....she had a brain tumor that turned out to stage 3 cancer. I was discouraged for the past two yrs she's been gone but stumbled across this thread in a search the other day and you ladies were soooo very uplifting, I decided to stalk you...lol.....and now I'm excited about trying again....Thank you all for giving me that....millions of to you all.....

OMgness I'm so sorry. I'm glad we were able to give you some uplifting and promise to be here for you through your journey

So I have a confession

I have been 'testing out' my trigger shot (for those that don't know, i take the fertility med clomid. on CD 15 I get an HCG trigger shot that induces ovulation. this can cause false positives as it floods your system with HCG) It takes normally between 10-14 days for the trigger shot to be completely out of your system. any BFP before that, at least for me, is considered false positive. I had originally wanted to wait to test because I wanted to only get a 'true positive' but since this is my last month on clomid I decided it wouldn't hurt to track it until it was out of my system because next cycle (which probably won't be until July or later) I won't have a trigger shot.

Anywho.. so DPTS- days past trigger shot. I O'd 1 day after the trigger shot so 11dpts=10dpo.. Here are my tests

I don't want to get my hopes up because I have zero symptoms. AF is due in 2 days so unless I'm still getting dark lines after that I'll believe all these dark lines up until AF is just the trigger shot.

Flarmy.. OMG.. I think this is the start of your bfp... BTW, I didn't have any symptoms either (until the last few days , could totally be mental though) and was sure I was out.. I literally still and in disbelief.. I'm just thankful
Look at you, been hiding this little secret from us .. I know you've been gone/busy but that's so exciting!!!!!

 

[pinkpassion]

Thanks a billion ladies, I really do need the encouragement. I had promised myself I wouldn't try ever again after our 3 yr old princess passed away and at my age, but for some reason known only to us women the need for LOs in our lives is strong. Hoping to bring some joy to DH and our empty nest again....Here's to moving forward

O Pato , I'm so sorry for your loss... ... What happened to your princess? I can't even imagine loosing my dd.. she's the light of my life and I am sure you felt the same about your baby!!! so sorry hun, I hope you get another lo soon!!

O wow, that's so devastating!!! I'm so sorry!!!! millions of to you too, I'm so glad we could give you some hope and excitement!!! I am thankful we can be here for you!!

 

[FLArmyWife]

I didn't tell anyone lol. this is the second month I tested out the trigger shot and kept it from even my own TTC journal. But after today's test I decided I had to tell someone or risk exploding

only time will tell I suppose. I'm not counting anything as true until AF is late. I did have an extremely busy weekend while out of town

 

[Pato]

Armywife...it looks like its starting to get out of your system and then its getting darker...maybe the start of your true bfp????

Looks that way to me too Armwife.....pretty much disappeared there around day 13 but its getting darker at 15 sooooo.....here's hoping to be celebrating you BFP with you soon.

 

[FLArmyWife]

Thanks pato

 

[pinkpassion]

explode away flarmy!!! That's definitely an exciting thing!!! Have you told dh?


I couldn't hide my excitement.. the morning of 9dpo when I saw my line on the IC I screamed and yelled for dh to "COME HERE NOW" and when he got to the door I yelled "IM PREGNANT" even though I wasn't 100% sure haha.. he didn't believe me but I had never had a line like that...

so much for wanting to surprise him some awesome way...... O well.. haha!!!

 

[FLArmyWife]

no I'm not going to tell DH until I know for sure. I have a plan on how to tell him. the plan has changed every cycle based off of different things in our lives.

This cycle I'll either a) make the test his display picture on our home computer or b) make "big sister/big brother" bandanas for our dogs and see how long it takes him to notice. unless I can think of another cool way to tell him. He really likes soccer and the team from our home town plays every weekend. If I get a true bfp I might order a soccer themed cake that says "You scored a goal!" or something to that affect.

This thread seems so loving and caring and Im so glad I found you gals....but I do need help with something....I got 2 dark lines on Tuesday evening OPK's and Wednesday morning I got a smiley on the digital which is suppose to be my peak surge...do you think I ovulated that Thursday or do you think I may not have until Friday....Im totally confused b/c I got a high surge so early but my calenders states that I should have ovulate either Friday or Saturday...please HELP

I am new to OPK's so I am not 100% sure, but I do know that you are expected to O within 24-36 hours after a + OPK.

I've been getting positive OPKs for 8 days now...so I took a Wondfo this morning.Ladies see anything??

I see a little glimmer of something on the inverted one! Good news is that if it is the beginning of something that it'll only get darker as the days go on

I think this is the beginning of your BFP! Congrats!! How/when will you know for sure, though? Blood test?

Oh Pato I am so sorry to hear about your little angel. You my dear are stronger that I ever could be. You definitely have an angel watching over you and your future little ones.



AFM... thinking I will be O'ing within the next day or two as my OPK is almost positive! It is a hair lighter than the control line so I may even test this afternoon to see if I surged. Either way, we're for sure tonight and the next couple of nights.

Are we adding June testing dates? I am pretty sure I will be testing on June 7, which will roughly put me at 11DPO if I do O tomorrow or the next day. AF would show up around the 10th if I don't end up pg this cycle.

FX! for everyone! And congrats to the BFP's!

 

[FLArmyWife]

Disney- i will believe it when AF is late and a blood test lol. FX that you O soon!
