Trying to catch up:
Rex, you are not out until the witch shows. I used to have regular 27 day cycles and then I didn't. You just never know. Charting bbt or even using opks gives you so much good insight into your system. And once it becomes routine it isn't bad at all.
Someone asked about bfing twins. My mom had a pillow that wrapped around her belly. She would put one in each side. My mom always feed them together, hungry or not. So if they cried, she somehow could get in position alone but usually my stepdad or I would go in and hand her the babies. I was so stoked to be a big sister at 8.5

Ok looking at these in person in hand there are NO 2nd lines on any.
Even when I added markers to the pics, there are NO lines in my pics on laptop- trust me I even tried Negative mode to find where to place markers, and the ONLY one that shows in Neg is the top cheapie-Assured brand.
So don't take any pink or shadows you see in that pic for anything.
TRUST me after 14 months staring at tests and 2-3 chems, I have no prob finding even the faintest ones lol.
I don't like that the tests appear diff on upload! WTH?
That's like building false hope! I am looking at them in person 3 diff light types AND a magnifying lens lol- nothing there!
As for baby showers- I have everything I need except diapers. Kept everything from DS that was re-usable. So I'm set...just waiting on the

I'm a spoiled brat. It's a celebration and gifts, first or second or tenth, are optional. My mom always raised me to show love always and gifts are not a mandated thing. It's just a way to show someone you were thinking of them. But why not be able to decorate and play games and eat food and gather for baby two? And if people want to bring gifts, clothes and disposable items ftw.

Yea hope so Dobs, but I saw yours very easily and said "WTF Dobby!? There's totally a line there!"lol.
Hopefully the camera is catching pink/red I can't see in person, but why does it not show on my laptop either when I place markers??
Something is weird
Took them out of the cases and placed on white paper...even with LED on frer I don't see pink!? That's what's bugging me cuz I know new frers are known for testline showing- evap, vacant space etc...
I'm playing powerball tonight- so I can win millions and head STRAIGHT to a fertility specialist for IVF
Reporter- Ma'am, what are you going to do with 900 million dollars?
Me-GET PREGNANT!!!!
Here's all 3 pics, no markers:

Good they are bigger now- I still don't see pink on the frer- fully dried now, I just see the gray thin line that shows on all the new crap-ola frers with curved handle
In the last pic you can see how it's thinner than the control line...
Frer seriously needs to go back to the old model

Hmm...well if you're sure you're not seeing anything...
But i remain unconvinced
plus if you really did ov a day later...well, you're totes still in it!
Afm, craving mustard. Well, i was...i just had some on a hard boiled egg (i'm in the process of making deviled eggs) and that helped lol. Going to a party in an hour with food, so that'll be the real test if i'm feelin' food or not. As of now, i passed on bacon to eat mustard on an egg

Well looking at my chart - if that mini dip 3 days ago was anything implant related, today would be the soonest I could get a squinter on a frer.
That would make me implanted 8dpo (7dpo per FF).
So if nothing shows well tomoro morn...I'm likely out, as AF is due Monday.
( been having half coffee, half hot cocoa lately yumm!)

Gigs
GASP! You passed on BACON!?!?
Yea you are sooo preggers
lol
I never get sick during preg, even with the twins,and my betas were crazy high so tons of hormones flowing then- I couldn't eat much at a time with the girls squished in there lol, but I ate EVERYthing.
Dobbers The pillow you mentioned that wraps around you is the Boppy Pillow I mentioned...mom brain sorry- I didn't think to explain what a boppy pillow was
So I am staying positive minded since:
1- Maybe my vision has changed and I can't see faint"pink" in person, but can see it on uploaded pics?? ( doth the camera Mock me?!?!
2- I'm digging my chart! It's staying near the same range, like when I was pregger with DS- first part of chart was similar to this...
FF Charts last 3 cycles- erratic
DS 2010 BFP Chart- more stable- compare to my siggy chart

J- yours and my cycle are similar. Bfn again this morning, and I hate a spot of pink last night. AF is due Monday, and I usually spot 2 days before. So frustrating!
As for baby showers: Since this one wild be my first, I'll have a gender reveal party/shower I think. My mom, aunt, and sister are gonna spoil me and this baby rotten, I don't think they'd let me NOT have a shower! For the second, I would have more of a party but probably not gifts.
If AF starts Monday- I'm placing a big ol' purchase on Amazon for a bulk order of OPKs!

You ladies have been busy! I go to get blood drawn and you do that!? It's to check my thyroid since it hasn't been the best, but it really has to be fixed now that I'm pregnant or I could miscarry. Ugh anxiety hits again.
Jlm- I swear I could see a line on the FRER, but maybe all these new FRERS give lines which is so annoying, I refused to use them for early testing this month.
Dobby- You better believe we will wait on you! It's bound to happen and we'll be there looking for lines with you!
Rex- So sorry about the bfn and the spotting, but you're not out til you're out, spotting could be IB, I had that with DS.
Again back to shower thing, I'd still like gifts like outfits or blankets cause even if it's baby #10, they still need to have a little something that is just theirs, and if it's a girl oh I better get outfits!
I feel so silly putting up a tracker, I almost didn't cause I'm not even 4 weeks! I just wanted to see how the big the baby is every week. Not big at all...

Awww hello little poppyseed!
I love when inactive (or lazy) members leave the ticker up and it's like, "the baby is the size of a jackfruit! 73824 weeks and 2 days pregnant". I chuckle every time. And then i wonder what a jackfruit is.

Gigs- Hahaha my exact thoughts!! And they are still active and posting so what happened there!? Also a jackfruit sounds small (whatever that is) I thought they'd say something like "as bag as a baby kangaroo now!" Since they're 2 years old and all

Jackfruit must be an asian thing. I always see them when I go to 99 Ranch.
I don't know. I have to want sex again before I can want to TTC. It's been so long my body is like what is sex? Do I need to have it? Pass. hahaha
GIGS bacon is the shit. Have you had chocolate covered bacon? It's a thing apparently hahaha. Have fun at the party! Hoping to see a bfp in a few days!
J, I hate the new frers. I miss the old design, too. I love the get pregnant thing. I was thinking something similar cuz I always enter the HGTV dream home sweepstakes just for fun. And I could just imagine being like SELL THE HOUSE AND USE THE MONEY ON PREGNANCY TESTS AND BABY SHIT!
