From WTT to BFP: Teaup & Brenn are best buddies!

[teacup]

Since I feel like I JUST WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!!! I can't imagine how you're holding out so well!!! This all sounds really great, I hope it is what I think it is!

Yes it is hard waiting to test! I almost tested this afternoon but stopped myself. I generally am feeling under the weather now, sore throat isn't so bad now but have body aches and sinus pain in my head. Also have dull aches in back. OH and I have decided to test Thurs morning as we both have that day off together! Very exciting!

 

[brenn09]

Ohhh it sounds very promising!!!! FXed!!! The first thing I will do Thursday is get on here

 

[teacup]

Well the body aches and chills continued yesterday eve, felt like I was getting flu! Looked it up online today and apparently it can be a sign of pregnancy! Very exciting. OH is convinced I'm pregnant. Will be testing tomorrow morning!

 

[brenn09]

I can't wait to hear about your test tomorrow!!!

I started spotting today, at 11dpo. I have been spotting but not this early ever before! Ever since I had the late ovulation in February I have spotted the last two days of my cycle and this time I started three days before af is actually due. I'm so frustrated with my cycle. I googled and it seems early af and extreme breast pain, which I had this cycle like never before, are indicative of missing ovulation. If that is the case, I have not ovulated this cycle and most likely not the last two either... I even stopped testing before I got a positive opk because I was tired of it and I thought it would be positive soon. I had two days of random fertile cm after I should have ovulated but dismissed it because it wasn't back to back days. I'm so frustrated that I don't know what is happening with my cycles. I will go to the doc after my next cycle if it isn't my normal cycle. I'm afraid that I'm no longer ovulating... again. I know my doc will will give me Clomid if I need it but I just think this is a sign we shouldn't have waited so long to try and now we have missed our chance.

Ignore my miserable rantings, we need to get you your bfp before we focus on me!!! I will log in first thing tomorrow!!!

 

[brenn09]

I guess you guys decided to sleep in on your day off- I will be checking all day! Good luck!!!

On another note, the spotting completely stopped last night- I even checked up by my cervix. Who knows what it means, I'm rather frustrated.

Hellooo Brenn! :wave:

Sorry, we both went out today so I haven't been online at all. I did a test at 4am this morning (woke up needing a wee!) and it was a BFN.

We were both convinced that I was pregnant. Even my sister asked today if I was pregnant because I was looking 'voluptuous' (my boobs are so small normally that this was quite a surprise comment!) We haven't mentioned we were TTC at all. I'm hoping we just tested too early or something, I did wonder if I ovulated later this cycle, because I had ovulation cramps on Sunday 19th May. If I did ovulate then, we would be on 11 DPO. Also my last cycle was 35 days, and we are only on day 31.

Or I might just not be pregnant! I was very sad after the test and so was OH. We had built our hopes up a lot on all the strange symptoms I have had this cycle. But like I said, who knows - it may still be too early to test! (fingers crossed!) I'm going to continue day-dreaming I'm pregnant until the witch is here!

Don't worry too much about your spotting leading up to AF. I often have spotting for 1-2 days before AF. The doc always said you should count your AF from the day it comes on properly, and not from the spotting, so that should mean your LP is the same. It's just the old blood making way for the new. But see the doc if you want to put your mind at rest.

My guess is that it is too early for an accurate test, just like you think! I hate seeing BFNs though, they're terrible! I'm sorry it was BFN, but I'm still thinking you have a great shot at a BFP soon!!

My spotting completely stopped last night and then has been completely gone. I have some minor cramping tonight but nothing too bad. AF should show tomorrow.

OH and I went to look at our first house tonight! It was a great house, a bit more than we're comfy with but we're considering giving a lower offer. We're also discussing building in the same area, since there are lots available and a great builder to work with... but it would be about 6 months before we could start that process and then 4-6 months after that before we could close and move in. It could be next April-June before we get to move in and we're hopeful that we will be giving birth in that window. A newborn and a big move sounds incredibly stressful....

I'm still sending sticky happy vibes to you and your uterus

Thanks Brenn! xx Wow I hope your offer gets accepted in the house you like! How exciting! Let me know how it goes. Yes building a house and expecting a baby does all sound a bit much at once, but I'm sure you can cope fine if you decide to go down that route!

Am buying another test on Saturday if AF hasn't shown by then and am testing Sunday morning. First morning urine is the best time right? I heard some ladies saying they had better results holding onto wee for 4 hours in the afternoon? Not sure...

 

[brenn09]

I have always heard first morning urine! I guess read the package and see what it says for best results! We are still talking about an offer and going to see what our banker says then go from there!

Well I tested this afternoon and got a BFN. I'm going to wait until AF is properly late now before I test again. My cycles are normally a maximum of 35 days, so after Monday then I'm officially late. Will try to test Wednesday if I can hold on that long. But I am pretty much expecting AF now. So many ladies get their bfp's from 9DPO and here I am at 12DPO and still getting BFN's! Boohoo! Think I must be out.

I stared at the test for a while and thought I might have seen a super faint line, but I'm sure it was in my head! My 2 week wait has been more like 3 weeks because of my long unpredictable cycles. My cycles can be anything from 28 days - 35 days! It makes it hard to estimate when ovulation may be, but I want to wait a couple of months before charting I think.

Was your lower offer accepted on the house? xx

 

[brenn09]

We waited until yesterday evening to offer and it had sold- and both of us then admitted we were really relieved! Even at our lower offer, it was about $15000 more than we initially discussed spending. We both felt rushed to make this huge decision to spend THAT much more money.. well, it sold at noon, and we called at 5.. anyway, now that we both know we're comfortable spending that much money then we started looking at homes in a higher price range. I am not cut out for the quick moving home buying business

At 12 dpo, you're sooo not out of the race yet. I know it seems like a lot of girls get their BFPs at 9dpo but most do not!! The eggie may not even have implanted at 9dpo, and it takes 3 days to get HCG in your urine stream. It can implant anywhere from 6-12 dpo soooo 15 dpo might be the earliest you could get a BFP. Although, I know you may be just preparing yourself for a BFN and AF so that is understandable, too. Whichever you want to do, I'll support you.

If AF shows, then you have a whole weekish to decide your next game plan- OPKs? You can get the cheapies on Amazon, Wondfo. I believe all the various Amazons have them (UK, US, etc.). I have the CBFM and will use it when we start trying, but I like the Wondfos, too. I have been waiting so long we're going right to the CBFM

AF showed this morning, so that is the second cycle in a row my LP extended to 13 days, instead of 12. That moves my EDD up again!!

So given we're most likely waiting until the end of July and my LP is less predictable my three EDDs are:

May 1st, 2nd or 3rd
May 28th, 29th, or 30th
June 24th, 25th or 26th

54 days until July 25th!!! It keeps moving, but the end of July is our start date for sure, and of course I really wish it could be today but it doesn't seem like a smart idea. I hate being logical, even in the face of AF

Well if it takes up to 3 days after implantation for HCG to appear in urine then I could still be pregnant! Thanks for giving me some more hope.

Yes that seemed quite quick to find the house you wanted. Almost too quick! Probably for the best it had sold, you want to be sure and look around a house a few times before making an offer, like you say - it's a lot of money to spend in a rush! Hope you find the perfect house soon.

Those due dates sound lovely. I think May/June is the best time to have a baby because you know it will only get warmer.

 

[teacup]

Well today I had a tiny amount of really light brown creamy cm, only when wiped with tissue (sorry TMI). But it isn't the same as when AF is on her way, AF spotting is normally watery and thin, but this was creamy... so I am still hoping! There wasn't any more cm or spotting for the rest of the day.

I will keep my hopes up until AF comes on properly. Will test Wednesday morning if I'm still in the game.

How has your weekend been? I heard you had some more tornadoes? Was it on Friday morning? Hope everything is okay! xx

 

[brenn09]

I'm keeping my hopes up, too! I don't think brown cm means you're out just yet! I'm still sending you sticky thoughts!!

Oklahoma did indeed have more tornadoes Friday, and some small ones Thursday- we were under three tornado warnings Thursday while we were looking at that house We definitely take warnings seriously but only if they're close. Friday was really scary for the large cities in the state. Many people got on the highways to outrun the incoming tornadoes/storms and then the storms turned and headed straight at the standstill traffic jam (more than a million people live there). I can't believe more people didn't die or get injured. You never ever want to be in your car- and apparently a forecaster said on air to head south if you were in a car so thousands did so, despite all the years of training telling us to stay at home. It was horrible and truly terrifying. Thanks for asking about us! We have been lucky this storm season.

Day 2 of af and I'm exhausted and only laying on my couch all day

Saw a friend today at the store, she has an almost two year old and my oh noticed a clearblue pregnancy test in her basket.... *sob* she hinted at ttc a couple of months ago on facebook and it just stuck a knife right through my heart. I need time to fly so I can finally get to try. I want to try so bad but we are definitely waiting. It is definitely heart breaking. I'm so tired of the wait.

Still no sign of AF today. I'm experiencing a few crampy feelings every now and then, so perhaps she is on her way... Last night I had a dream that I got a positive pregnancy test! Let's hope it comes true. It would be nice to know either way so I know what the future holds!

How scary for you to hear about all these tornadoes just down the road from you, I hope the tornado season is ending now and you can have a relaxing summer while TTC.

 

[brenn09]

Hey, buddy!! How is the af watch? Your ticker changed but idk of it did that on its own or if af actually got you? I hope it's the former!

CD 4 and af is quietly exiting. Only this cycle and one more!

Still waiting for AF! Nothing yet. Today is cd 36. If AF hasn't appeared tomorrow morning then I'll test again!

Yay! Only a couple of cycles left for you! That's great news.

I'll let you know the outcome of tomorrow! xx

 

[brenn09]

Woohoo!!!! I feel a BFP coming!!!

 

[teacup]

BFN

Also I have started spotting properly now so I'm sure AF will be here tomorrow. I suppose I had high hopes for my first month TTC! I'm sure my mind controls my cycles and stopped AF appearing. I am on cycle day 37 today. Oh well, lets hope AF gets going this evening so I can start looking forward to my next fertile week. I'll try not to symptom spot next month...

How is the house search going? Have you looked around any more places? Hope you are having a good week! xx

 

[brenn09]

I was sure this was going to be your month. Glad af is finally coming so you can get started on your next fun fertile time!

No new houses, we go out Saturday to lool at some though! Have a good day, sorry I contributed to getting your hopes up!
