Fall in Love! September Testing Thread

[MrsKatie]

@elencor oh honey I will be praying honey. Thanks for the update. Keep us posted.

@gigglebox in my ideal world I’ll wait until my period is a week late to test. But of course the day I got a positive opk I ordered easy@home and frers, . Because Amazon takes 7-10 days here usually. Gone are the days of same-day/next day ordering! It’s for the best… I’m less impulsive when I can’t get something immediately.

The thing is I love the thrill of an early bfp but then I’m petrified over-analyzing progression, panicking over spotting (happens a lot in the early days for me) etc. I’d rather just wait a while and keep the hope alive or get AF.

Hello,

I’ve been wanting to write here for a couple of days but didn’t know how to say it. Just want to say that these days reading this thread has been cheering me up and taking my mind off problems for a moment. Three days ago they found a mass in my abdomen and might be a serious cancer. Might be something benign too, I’ll have the results of MRI and biopsy in a week or so. I’m so so scared. I’ll be ovulating probably this weekend but of course we’ve stopped TTC for the moment. There’s nothing I wish more than to get good news and just resuming thinking about baby #2. Anyway just wanted to tell someone, as I haven’t told anyone but my husband and boss for the moment.

Also, unfortunately my sil has probably had a miscarriage. She started bleeding a few days ago, went to the doctor who told her the embryo was still there but it looked bad. She continued to bleed and having a lot of pain for a day and then stopped, haven’t bled since. Do you think the baby might still be there? She is about 7 weeks now.

Shame to hear you’re going through so many things right now. I’ll keep you and your sil in my prayers for comfort.

Please let us know when you get results.

Oh I can completely relate to that! I wish I could be one of those stories of the women who find out they’re pregnant by peeing on a stick and it’s a BLARING positive! Hahaha
I just get too excited. I’m either breastfeeding so getting pregnant is just not really happening, or I’m actively ttc and way too curious to know asap. Haha!

Elencor prayers sent up for you! I am so, so sorry you are going through this. Prayers whatever it is is benign and you’ll be back to ttc very soon!

Mrskatie i feel that haha. I keep thinking that could have been me this time! Still racking my brain why i bothered resting

 

[gigglebox]

Opps, meant why I bothered testing*

@gigglebox fancy seeing you here

hello everyone!

I’ll be testing on 9/27 at 10dpo, if I can wait that long lol. AF is due 10/1.

 

[MrsKatie]

hi @shaescott so exciting!!

AFM 4dpo and already itching to test. Everoll facepalm laughing crying, picture all those emojis. I am praying I can hold out until at least 10dpo. But my GOAL is wait until my period doesn’t come (and I’m praying it doesn’t come).

I just started getting a yeast infection Of course I hope it’s a sign. I’ve only ever had one other in my life and that was about 6 months ago. Don’t know why I’m suddenly getting them, they’re freakin awful.

Omg, I just found out one of my best girlfriends also got her BFP! I'm so excited to be pregnant together. Praying baby girl is all good in there our due dates are exactly one week apart!

I’ve heard they’re very common in pregnancy! I got a string of them… after getting a sourdough starter.

Slightly TMI details in spoiler lol

Spoiler

Cannot confirm with absolute certainty that it was the cause, but the timing was extremely suspicious, and after I got a few, my husband actually managed to get a yeast infection, right after I had been playing around with the starter again (I didn’t feed it even close to every day cuz I’m lazy lol). Buddy was SWOLLEN. I have never seen a male “member” look like that before. It was horrifying, he had to go to urgent care. They confirmed it was a yeast infection, and luckily the anti fungal fixed him up in a few days. Moral of the story, wash your hands WITH SOAP after touching sourdough starter. Just in case the strain of yeast you’ve got also likes warm moist human.

As for testing, there’s zero chance I’ll be waiting until AF is due, I do not have the patience or self control I’ve learned my lesson and absolutely won’t test before 8dpo, and generally I don’t bother until 9dpo, feels like a waste of a test otherwise. 10dpo is my goal. I’ve got a bunch of the 10mIU wondfos, but I’m very tempted to order more FRERs. Only issue is they’ve replaced them with the opaque pink cap ones, and I’ve seen people compare the same urine on the old translucent pink cap vs the new opaque pink cap, and the new ones seem way less sensitive. The tests at my work pick up 5 mIU (found this out when my patient got a faint line and beta was 7). Very tempted to use those lol

Oh my gosh @shaescott I am tearing up laughing at your sourdough starter story omg hahahahahahaha
