General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[claireybell]

MrsG your temps habe stayed higher since cd13.. Wonder if that was a sneaky ov'ing & watery cm not just man juice? Lol

 

[mrs.green2015]

Cb- I suppose anything is possible. But that's how high my temps were last month.

 

[TexasRider]

Sorry went to bed early last night lol

Awanas is a children's ministry at churches. We are baptist but I think they are in other types too. Basically we have little mini lessons about the bible and Jesus and the kids have a handbook that they learn bible verses out of. They also have game time and snack time. My daughter really likes it and I enjoy helping in the second grade class most nights lol.

CB- those scans are so cute! I can't remember what my daughters HB was but I want to say it was around the 130ish and higher range...

Dobby- hoping it's an implant dip.

Afm- my temp is still up but not as high as yesterday. I hope this is it!! But if not at least I've had nice high temps showing good progesterone and ovulation!

 

[campn]

Claire- That's such a photogenic baby! I've an appointment on the 25th but I'm not sure if they'll do a scan! We'll see!

Dobby- Beautiul dip! I had a huge dip on 9 DPO! I'm so excited!

MrsG- it's still up hun! I hope it means you ovulated but it just sneaked up on you.

Ladies I hate to post pregnancy tests pictures with you all waiting to test or to ovulate, but my tests don't look like they're getting darker? The top is 19 DPO and the bottom is 23 DPO. I'm a little scared now but I hope it doesn't mean anything.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Once you're that far your levels are getting pretty high which can mess with the test and make it so all kinds of funky things. Try not to stress.

I agree with what she said. Seems like I read somewhere to dilute the urine with water? Cause of a "hook" effect?

 

[campn]

Thank you ladies! I will not test again but I had this sad test left so I thought I'd use it, but it causes more worry than anything now.

Sorry for the mini panic attack!

Texas: sorry I forgot to tell you your chart is looking wonderful! Strong progesterone for sure. I hope this is it for you!

 

[gigglebox]

Awww cb!!! Soooo cute!

Dobs, my fingers are tightly crossed!

Campn, take to from someone who last tested about 27 or 28dpo...the tests only get so dark.

 

[DobbyForever]

Agree with the hook affect but honestly your 23dpo looks clearly darker than the top test. Don't stress

Ladies, I hope you are right. I want it so bad.

Tex, the suspense is killing me when are you testing?!

Greenie, I can't remember but have you confirmed the hcg is out of your system?

 

[mrs.green2015]

I have SUCH a good feeling for you Texas and dobs. I really hope it's right!

Dobs- I took a 10miu test 3 weeks or so after my mc and it was almost completely gone. So nothing official but yes no more hcg.

 

[claireybell]

Texas you are 10dpo.. I wouldve peed on about ten tests sticks by now Lol! Fx'd

Campn as Gigs, Dobbles & MrsG said, they get to a point & the line colour will stay the same, mine did aswell! All good oooh Drs next Monday, you may well get the early scan hehe!

 

[TexasRider]

I'm trying to hold out for testing as long as I can. But if my temp stays up maybe saturday or Sunday? I didn't test with my first till AF didn't show and I had a super positive test. It's killing me cause I want to know but I don't want to be disappointed with bfn.

 

[campn]

I'm going to be majorly stalking you ladies! You all have some self control cause this is a shame to admit, but some cycles I tested at 6 DPO. Not sure what I even expected to see!

 

[JLM73]

Campn Have you had any betas done?
Hcg varies ALOT - usually doubles quickly then slows , and from what I have read it only climbs fast in the very beginning then drops back, so no way to judge just by line color unfortunately
Also keep in mind you got a pretty nice BFP early on, so not that it's a nice thing to hear - but you may have had 2 beans and one didn't continue- which would cause hcg to level or drop back a bit IYKWIM?

Claire Great pics of your GIRL
!! I think the first pic is a full profile, as at this stage they are very compact still and curved in the spine- their necks are SUPER short and can't really turn full right/left. But you got AWESOME pics.
So do tell- what ever are you gonna name HER
Notice my pronoun lol

Also, I had to chuckle when you said chestnut! My mom is CRAZY for them as soon as winter hits! She oredered $80 worth this year offline!?
She's in love with them- most ppl don't know what they look like, or think of the Water Chestnuts in stirfry hehe
I thought your ticker looked like a Dark Juicy Black Cherry! LOL

 

[JLM73]

Dobalicious! i agree- don't get him stressed over anything until you know if you are IN. I am liking your dip timing! Hopefully in 3 days you get double pink lines !!!!


Claire Glad your boy liked my monkey pic hehe.
I used to send it at the top of emails when I worked at the Mayor's bldg, whenever someone wasn't sending me info I needed- they got the Annoyed Monkey pic lol.
Maybe not the most professional, but it got me whatever I needed faster since it was humorous!

 

[campn]

J- No hun, I haven't had any betas done, so I don't really know. I've an appointment on Monday so hopefully they'll do a scan but it's still so early to see anything at this point so I'm not sure if that'll calm down my fears or worry me more. I have a week estimator so I'll take that tomorrow or so and see what it says!?

Claire- I also think it's a girl! Just the way the baby looks on your scan screamed girl for me for some reason!

Think its face is turned looking at camera here

Aww what great pics!!!! So exciting!!! Now I want another ultrasound!

Your due date is one day before my bday.

 

[Breeaa]

Claire- That's such a photogenic baby! I've an appointment on the 25th but I'm not sure if they'll do a scan! We'll see!

Dobby- Beautiul dip! I had a huge dip on 9 DPO! I'm so excited!

MrsG- it's still up hun! I hope it means you ovulated but it just sneaked up on you.

I don't know what you're talking about! The test line in these is taking so much dye away from the control line! They basically switched, with your first tests the control was darker and now the test line is darker!! No need to worry! They probably can't hold anymore dye. Lol

 

[JLM73]

Clair-Bear!
I was bored...amd love scan pics so I felt the need to doodlehow I think your little girl is laying
**Disclaimer- I am not an ultrasound technician, nor do I play one on TV. Doodler not to be held negligent for any misinterpretation

 

[pacificlove]

CB, what a cutie already!! And yes, I agree, girl!!


J, I look at the way my parents raised me and it makes me realize the mistakes they made and which I plan to avoid. On the other hand they also prepared me to be a functioning adult. I look at the 19 year old boy working beside me and think his parents coddled him for way too long and probably still are. He's got diabetes (the type where he needs needles all the time) and no sense of responsibility for his actions when it comes to his health and work as far as I can tell

Dobs: I hope this is it. Don't tell your SO until you need to. No need to stress him out now.
