~*~ Hoping for Our Special Stocking Stuffers! ~*~ December Testing: 7 BFP's, 1 angel

[fandabby]

Oh I added this to canyouseealine.com.

Clever way of seeing more detail on your tests.

Here is the link to my test: https://www.canyouseealine.com/view_home_pregnancy_test.php?testID=41811

If you click on show invert notice the glow of the control line and there is a glow also from what I can see on the test lines.

When I have done that looking at a test which I can't see anything then there are no glows so I figure this is a good sign too.

Those look good to me!!
Let us know as soon as you are comfortable calling it so we can celebrate with you!!

Thanks I can see something starting but you sometimes think your eyes deceive you.

I will test with the CB once arrives and then we shall go from that outcome.

Hate the waiting but it is still very early and anything could happen.

Ok fandabby, call me an idiot, but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be looking. On the part you peed on (above the word max), or next to the control line. Obviously since I don't see anything, I can't really comment, but I'm sure if i was looking in the right place, I might be able to see something. Either way, my fingers are still crossed!

It is only faint if you see it, where you see the solid pink lines, the control ones. Literally just above is where the test lines will show.
thanks

Good luck AshnAmber, ERose, and Sis4us! (did I forget anyone???)

Terri, your chart looks great!

 

[AshNAmber]

thanks ladies

Fandabby, I'm going to bite the bullet and say congratulations, because I definitely see a line!! I'm assuming these came up within 10 minutes and you don't think they're evaps? I could see the shadow of a line on your most recent test using the picture here, and when I went to your link and saw a high res pic I could clearly see the lines on all of them. Yesterday's were so so faint, but then that's the way it works, doesn't it? These light shadows are exactly what my Wondfos looked like when I got my first positives on FRER, so I'm inclined to celebrate for you now! Kudos to you for having the patience to wait for the digi in the mail. Don't take it too soon! My digi didn't work until 13dpo. If I were you I'd be at Walgreens buying FRERs right now!

I hope this is it for you!!

At least you didn't buy 45 FRER's! *snort*

In other news, I have started spotting, so hopefully AF will be here tonight or tomorrow (conflicted about that one). DH and I made a consultation appointment with a doc at the hospital I was talking about earlier...it's on the 24th! Here's to a Merry Christmas!

Hi ladies...I'm really new to using Fertility Friend and taking my temperature and my latest confusion is around the coverline so I have a couple questions that I'm sure you ladies will be able to help me with. First, I read you look at the past 6 days temps after your period has ended and take the highest then go .2 degrees higher and that's your coverline?? Second question, how the heck do I draw the coverline in FF or is that automatic?? So confused. Lol.

Fertility friend usually does that for you. Occasionally, you need to eliminate a high temp here or there to get your crosshairs and establish a coverline. Have you had a temp jump yet?

I'm thinking this not drinking is helping my chart. Mind you, I don't drink a lot, but I definitely have a glass of wine after work 3/5 days, and then beer when I watch the games on Sunday. So even just cutting that out has really made a difference. I don't feel so relaxed after work though. ha ha.

 

[Smiles013]

Hi oldermom....I've attached a picture of what my chart looks like so far. Initially it starts off high on the first day of my cycle then it's went down and up. Yesterday was my last day of my period ( I believe) as today my CM changed to slightly creamy with a slight tinge of pink. Man... It feels so good to be able to talk freely about CM and not be judged or think you're giving TMI. LOL

 

[terripeachy]

Smiles013, I thought that to find your coverline, you find your ovulation day (when your temp jumps up at least 0.3 degrees), then you count 6 days BACKWARDS and then draw your line 0.1F or 0.2C degree above that reading. FF does it differently though. Who knows what their programming says, but they draw the line automatically. Put your chart in your signature! hee hee. I'm such a chart stalker. If you need help, just ask.

Ok I see your chart, but you aren't close to ovulating, so you won't have a coverline just yet. look around at other people's charts, and you can see that there is no coverline until their temp jumps AND they have three consecutive days of higher temps after it jumps up. Oh, and PS. don't look at my previous charts. They are random and not good for tutorial purposes.

That's interesting! I wonder why that works? I know when I am dehydrated my temp goes up...but alcohol is a depressant....
Eh, back to google

Maybe a bowl of ice cream instead

Smiles- I agree with Terri. And we are all about TMI here!

Hope this is the beginning of your w/o a shadow of a doubt BFP fandabby!

GL AshNAmber!

Smiles: TCOYF is an excellent resource that you can utilize as well. Maybe check your library to see if they have a copy .

And sprinkling lots of for the rest of you as well! Lots to do today so busy, busy bee is me .

Well I see lines and that's just from the pic on here!
So waiting with baited breath! FXd for you honey! x

Ps I am just after a mc so just wanted to ask, when you say you bled for 7 weeks, was that light/heavy,spotting?
I only ask I have been spotting/bleeding since 9th Nov only actual bleeding for a few days after the actual event at hospital on 22nd then spotting on and off since. I have O'd since then, but if you see my chart it's all over the place, what with bleeds, the flu! and now very low post O temps!
I am just trying to make head nor tails of it!!

 

[fandabby]

Ladies put me down please for a BFP . Decision made before waiting for CB digital.

Tested again at 3.40pm ish and second pink line came visible under 2 minutes.

Here it is for in case I'm seeing things..



Good luck to upcoming testers and good luck for those waiting to ovulate.

May our xmas stockings be filled with healthy babes.

Congratulations, I knew I saw lines, OMG so so happy for you!

 

[AshNAmber]

ok, i'm feeling a bit more hopeful now.. EWCM showed up so tonight should be a great time to get an AI in!

 

[Smiles013]

Thanks Terri and Oldermom...I'll just continue to take my temps and check with the LH surge strips. It's weird though last month my OPK gave me a LH surge 7-8 days before I was supposed to technically ovulate. This is so confusing to me I swear! And don't get me started on looking at the CM...I'm like " is this creamy, or sticky?" Lol. And I swear I have not seen ANY EWCM when I checked. Out of frustration I made an appt to see a fertility specialist next month so I can see what's going on.

 

[Smiles013]

Awwwwww......congrats Fandabby!!!!

SweetPotato..... Thanks, I'll look for that.
