'Fab'ulous testers and supporters; 58 bfps

Lol muffin thank you for all the support! I did call and ask for a blood test since I think I keep getting faint lines and then it goes back to negative. I might just hold off on the blood test until later this week just in case.

My body is being super weird. It's just frustrating because with my daughter we weren't trying and I got a postiive like a week before my period! but since I'm still irregular I'm not even sure WHEN my period is supposed to be here. Ugh. I'm thinking it might be here on the 8 or 9...which I guess still gives me time but then again, with my daughter I had already gotten my positive test by now :/

I think I'm just going to not test until the end of this week. Assuming AF doesnt make her appearance before then. One of my period apps says that I could get it on June 6...so idk. This is too draining

Try not to do too much comparison to your previous as pregnancies are usually not linear. I am going to echo the other ladies here and say try and relax the next couple of days, maybe avoiding POAS if you can resist. You never know, after a couple days you could end up with a blaring BFP!

Ok for those if you that got your bfp... i was able to bd.... 3 days 2 days and 1 day before O... do ya think that covers it lol? Or should I try to squeeze 1 in tonight too (today is O day)... just let me know opinions please .. xxx

Definitely bd on your O day as well, and maybe again in a couple days! That's how the SMEP goes at least, and people seem to have good success with that. I TRIED to follow SMEP this cycle, and I got all the days in except the bd two days after O. Oh well, we'll see.

Well, I thought the spotting stopped, but looks like it's back. Just like sightly tinged cm when I wipe. Sorry tmi. I usually have two to three days of spotting before my period, so my guess is I am probably going to start in the next day or two. That will be a shorter cycle then I expected, but I have had them that length before. Feeling pretty gutted. 😭💔 Really thought this was my month.

We're here for you til you get your BFP

Just got a call from the Dr office

HCG on May 27 (12dpo) was 88.1
HCG on June 1 (17 dpo) was 1400!

Wow look at those numbers jump

Great numbers!!

Hi all!
The red witch came this morning... ugh! Such a bummer. Thanks for being great cycle buddies!

Noo! Sorry she had to ruin your day. Better luck next cycle

 

[.hopeful.one.]

Miranda- looks like we will be cycle buddies this time around.

Tiebreaker- I'm in the same boat! The spotting had me so optimistic this go around but AF came today making my lp 10 days. Hopefully the witch stays away for you, GL!

 

[TheTiebreaker]

Thanks .hopeful.one.!!! Sorry the witch came for you! Yeah I am worried about LP length. But they say 10 days is enough so hopefully next month will be it for you! Maybe me too, guess we'll see in the next few days.

Thanks Disney. Yeah I'm going to try not to POAS for a few days. I might have a blood test done at the end of the week if AF doesnt show up and since I keep getting light positives and then negatives again. It's just so frustrating! I know not every pregnancy is the same but its still disappointing seeing BFN's! DH and I dtd everyday during my dark positive OPKs...so I hope something caught :/

 

[lovebabyhopes]

So, my husband got a nasty cold during my ovulation/ fertile time. The last time we DTD was 5 days prior to my "o" day. This is according to my app. I have not be using OPKs this time around because I have a 1 year old and I'm not so much in a hurry, just a "it'll happen when it happen" phase.. Plus, I have always O'd on schedule on or near the 14th day like my app says, so I trust it for the most part.

I know the chances are slim to none that I caught an egg this time. I keep thinking, what if I o'd a day or two early. Or what if his swimmers lasted 5 whole days. I know none of ytou have the answer, but can someone give me some hope?

Accordint to my app I am 7dpo.

I hope so too . FX!

Lovebabyhope- I'm sorry your dh was sick during the crucial time. I hope he is better now and better next go around.

Does that mean there is no hope for me?

Of course there's hope, anything can happen! Sperm can live up to 5 days, so it's possible that they were there to catch your egg. GL to you

 

[muffinbabes4]

Mirandala I'm sorry ugh
Lovebabyhopes- maybe baby! Lol always hope good luck I am no expert on the life of a sperm haha I was asking this same question this morning. .. well when to bd to catch that little sucker.. so my only advice is ... possibly I know they can live 5 days and you could of possible Ovulated a couple days early.. sooo fx!! And keep us updated of coarse also... i def. Suggest opk they are inexpensive online (wondfo) and other ladies here recommend tempting along with opk. .

 

[FLArmyWife]

lovebabyhopes- wasn't trying to say there was no hope! sorry! there is always hope

 

[ashleyg]

So, going TRY and hold off on testing until the end of the week. I doubt I'll be able to though AF should be here anytime from Saturday on...so hopefully if I can wait until Thursday or Friday to test then something will show up a little clearer if indeed I am pregnant.

DH and I dtd everyday when I was getting positive opks....I'll be so confused if I don't get a positive this cycle!

 

[5starsplus1]

Thanks guys! It is so nice to have people to talk to that are going through the same things! You guys are awesome!

5stars- I didn't have any symptoms with my daughter for weeks after bfp, so don't lose hope! Can't wait for your bfp!

Thanks Tiebreaker, Im looking for my BFP soon

 

[5starsplus1]

AF made her arrival. For real this time! I guess the spotting was just to throw me off. Super emotional today, it stinks that ttc is so hard

Best of luck and baby dust to those testing soon, I know there's quite a few. I fully expect lots of BFPs!

5stars- I also had 0 symptoms with my first pregnancy until well after my BFP, you're definitely not out.

Thank you hopeful and im so sorry about AF and trust me I know how ur feeling

Same here, there would be no reason not to get a positive with all the BD'ing we did. Yet here I am reading that realistically we only have a 20% chance or so of conceiving each cycle! Crazy right. So I try and tell myself this before I get my hopes up lol.

I read that somewhere too...kind of depressed me a little lol!

But then I think that we weren't even trying when we conceived our daughter. So naturally I thought that it would be even easier if we were ACTUALLY trying haha. I think everything is just more confusing for me now because my cycles are still off and my OPK's were weird so I'm so lost on how many dpo I am, if I even actually ovulated since I had almost 7 straight days of dark pos OPKs, when my period is actually supposed to be here, and how long my cycles are since they've been all over the place.

SO hard not to test. I havent tested all night and I'm feeling so anxious lol.

I heard that if you have a long surge (I'm guessing like I did since I had almost a week of positive OPKs) that it makes it HARDER to conceive? Or it could mean that you never actually ovulated? Have you heard this too? It makes me nervous thinking about that...

 

[.hopeful.one.]

Yes 20% seems about right. I'm going into month 4 of trying. We were doing every other day bding but this month we tried everyday. I heard everyday increases your chances about 2%. Well it didn't work this cycle but I'm hoping it'll happen soon. I want my rainbow baby more than anything.

 

[ashleyg]

hopefulone, I hope you get your rainbow! I cant imagine how impatient you ladies who have been ttc for a while must get...I'm SO impatient and already getting sad and it's only been one cycle for me :/

I know right? I can't help but think.. Here we were trying so hard for so long to NOT get pregnant, now here we are a couple cycles in trying to get pregnant!

That's a good question about the OPKs. Has Google given you much help on the subject? My surge lasted almost 3 days before it turned negative again. Technically you are supposed to stop testing with OPKs after your first positive so as to not confuse yourself, as you can get positives for a few days I guess. Are you counting your DPO from the first positive you got? Also, are you BF'ing your daughter? I know that that can make your cycles funky as well.

At least you know that you guys are indeed fertile and have no problem conceiving, it's just getting the sperm and egg to cooperate!

 

[TheTiebreaker]

I thought my spotting was done, but I am still having some pinkish tinged cm, not any real spotting. Trying to decide if I should test tomorrow (10 dpo) or wait and see if this is an early AF. What do you ladies think?
