If you weren't an addict before, you will be now! Best tweaking&testing thread ever!

[MeaganMackenz]

Oh jeez! My mom I could live with, but his mom is staying the weekend and I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it lol. It's a soap opera here. Our roommate is the guy she's been in love with for years- the guy that broke up hubby's dad + moms marriage. Lmao. And he's like 15-20 years her junior.

So I have no shortage of drama here where his family is concerned let me tell ya! Haha.

I might go back on my no testing theory, I'll just stick to cheapies and fmu. Worst case I waste 4 tests lol they're like .80 each haha. I won't post unless there's something to post though, take the pressure off you gals to see lines that might not be here

Xox watching a horror in bed with hubby talk to you gals in the am! I hope to see some fmu tests from you Sara! Night ladies

Meagan, I got a stark white bfn on my frer at 10 dpo, and I started spotting the next day like I do right before AF, so I assumed I was out, but after 3 days of only super light spotting, I tested in the PM of 12 dpo (the day AF normally comes) and it was a def positive. I'll try to upload my pictures but it won't let me from my phone so I'll have to do it from my computer. Don't stress out and don't feel sad until you see the bright red flowing stuff! I spotted in the beginning with all of my pregnancies and it always tricked me into thinking I wasn't pregnant! So I didn't ever test on 11dpo bc I always thought I was out when at 10 dpo it was stark white. I did my own tweaking but you girls seem to always see things so I should've posted it here lol!
Don't post your pics till you can see it with your own eyes and then you won't stress over it. Also, don't forget hcg doubles every 48 hours so if it's not darker the next am don't stress that either! Stress isn't a good thing when TTC! Good luck!

[MeaganMackenz]

Thanks Erin!

I know it could still happen, I wish it would or get any closer to a second line. Unfortunately even today with 11dpo fmu it was still nothing I could see.

I can't help but think I should be waiting for AF but it's almost inpossible not to test just in case lol

I sure hope my cycle turns out like yours! Id love my bfns to turn on me

I have a FRER left, I'll save for AF due date unless I suspect it's a waste.

Until then I'll keep stalking other people lol

 

[erin7707]

good luck!!

Such sensible advise, Erin. Unfortunately all my common sense seems to fly out the window when my own tests don't cooperate Thanks for posting your pics. It's true that so many women don't ever get a positive until after AF is due. Can you imagine back in the day when you had to miss a few periods and then have your blood injected into a rabbit? Talk about taking forever for results!!

 

[MeaganMackenz]

Well I guess then we all have some time those still waiting on AF. I have until Wednesday, which is when ill probably use the FRER unless im spotting.

I have some cramps today, so I am assuming thats AF coming

Good morning, Leah.
Emelia is so cute. I love kiddo cuddles!! Here is me and Emily.

My mom and I have always been really close and really have been good friends since I was a teenager. My role in the family was always to take care of everybody (mom and 5 siblings) and to take care of all the drama when it came up (all the flippin' time). About six months before I met Jeff I decided I needed more balance in my life and needed to distance myself from mom's drama. My mom ended up blaming Jeff for the distance between us, even though we were still friends and talked several times a week. From there things just snowballed and now they blame each other for everything. I just told both of them that I won't be in the middle of it and I don't want them talking to me about the other. If they ever want to make things better it's on them. I finally realized that there is NO way I could fix it. I even had to go as far as to tell my mom that if she made me choose between them I was going to pick Jeff. It's still very hard for me and sad but it doesn't affect my everyday life anymore.

OK, so there's a synopsis of my life drama

Not sure why, but I tested this morning. Will post pics.

 

[MeaganMackenz]

I am so bad,

Everything I said I wouldnt do ( test, post pics ) I've done :/

Not that im not okay with it being BFN, because I am, but Sara tweaked my test from today and I swear I see the faintest of something.

I have no idea what im seeing if I see something, or if its an evap or whatever.

Am I crazy?

 

[slg76]

Sara's sunday morning FMU test (answer brand). Looks very bfn to me. Can't even tweak to get a good line. I can make out the second line but I don't see any pink in it. I think I'm just trying to will myself to be pregnant

 

[MeaganMackenz]

Sorry girl, I dont see it

Maybe were both out

 

[erin7707]

Now that I've posted those pics I swear I see lines on my test that I thought was stark white. Maybe this forum creates lines bc I can't see them in my phone pictures! Lol!

 

[slg76]

I've had that happen too, Erin. I guess it's a magical thread

 

[MeaganMackenz]

Lmao!

Maybe it is. I wish digitals could test the earliest, there wouldnt be so much guess work.

 

[Mamma469]

Now that I've posted those pics I swear I see lines on my test that I thought was stark white. Maybe this forum creates lines bc I can't see them in my phone pictures! Lol!

I was thinking that too that i saw line on your 10dpo test...

 

[MeaganMackenz]

Im out, AF is coming. Good luck ladies xoxo

 

[slg76]

sorry meagan. Can't wait for next month's tests

 

[MeaganMackenz]

sorry meagan. Can't wait for next month's tests

Hubby and I havent decided if we're trying next month.

I felt like I had some CM issues so I went to the washroom and the CM I checked inside had pink in it. Depressing, but at least I can stop testing and wait.

Wishing the best for you ladies xox

 

[LeahLou]

Aww Meagan! Join my journal so we can keep up with you!! I'm on CD4 so you're not far behind. Maybe NTNP will put less pressure on you!

Sara, seriously we are SO similar!! I'm one of 5 girls and have been the peacekeeper in the family and my moms sanity. It got unhealthy for a while because she leaned on me when she and my dad had problems. I cut it off with her just before I met DH because I couldn't handle being her "spouse" while creating my own life. So she too blames Anthony for everything. I know she's still protective because Emilia's sperm donor was extremely abusive and controlling. But Anthony is so completely opposite. I think I'm ready to just let them sort it out. It hurts but I would pick Anthony over my parents too. That's the way it's supposed to be! Maybe someday they'll tolerate each other!
Oh my word look at that little red head!!! I've always wanted a red head! She is SO precious!!
I see a 2nd line on your test... Tweaking!!!

Thanks for the success story Erin!! I usually don't get a good + till 12-14dpo so I think I'll *try* and wait till then this month. But I have plenty of wondfos at my disposal. Self control... Right?

 

[LeahLou]

I seriously see that clearly Sara. Although I did see a false positive on another post with the answer test. It was clearly pink.
I REALLY hope this is it!!!
