Hopeful for you Josephine!


My temp is on a slow downward trend . Feeling less than hopeful

 

[littlewitch]

Josephine3--I feel like I see something faint on the first dried test. Hopeful for you.

 

[josephine3]

@NDH how many dpo are you now and when will you start testing? Fxd for you!

I swear every time I go back to check on the test it looks darker! I know it's most likely an evap but I did do a control test with this batch of tests when they came and was impressed to find there was no discernable test line at all so the fact this one has done this has me a bit hopeful x

 

[josephine3]

@littlewitch they are all the same test just diff pics. I did do a wondfo later on in the day but can't see much on it. I might do another one step before bed see if it does the same thing x

 

[MrsKatie]

@josephine3 oh man those tests look promising. Really really hope this is it for you.

 

[tdog]

@josephine3 hoping it turns into something but to me it looks pink is it pink irl also xx

Hard to tell but I think so!
Im hoping so so hard for it to be real. I seem to get so many cruel evaps though and faint fake lines x

 

[jellybeanxx]

@josephine3 I see something! Good luck!
Sorry for my lack of tests posted to analysis I’ve probably clogged the thread up with my constant tests enough over the last couple of days!
I’ve been so busy today, I looked after my friend’s kids so I’ve had a total of 5 kids today. I loved it, I always wanted a big family but it made me a bit sad that it feels out of reach for me now. I’m so lucky to have had as many kids as I’ve had with all my fertility issues but if I’d had the choice, I would’ve had a lot more and it just sucks that it hasn’t been up to me.
Anyway, there was nothing to see on the HPT this morning and the OPK has got fainter. My temp hasn’t risen yet though. FF still has me at 7DPO but after that temp drop 3 days back, my temps have basically been flat. So had to work out what’s happening.

I'm 8 or 9dpo today and don't plan to test unless/until I'm late. So January 12ish (AF due on the 10th).

@Suggerhoney i would prefer not to have to temp but my ovulation can vary from not at all to between cd16 to cd25 so i feel I need to for that reassurance to I know I definitely have. I really don’t think your too old. With your regular cycles and ovulation every month I would say you are of course still fertile. I’m sorry you had a falling out with dh, I hope you’ve made up. Just because you already have children it doesn’t mean you have no right to want another. No matter how many children you have, it doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful for what you already have. You can’t help what your heart desires

@jellybeanxx yesterdays opk was definitely positive.

@NDH I’m sorry your charts not making you feel very hopeful. That’s what I don’t like about temping. We analyse them too much. Mine made me feel out with my son and obviously I wasn’t. Try to stay hopeful love

@josephine3 i hope you get more obvious lines in the next few days. Good luck

 

[Laurabub84]

My temp shot up today. I’m finally feeling confident of ovulation now. Thank god I started temping when I did because I wouldn’t have had a clue it had happened. I’m trying hard not to get my hopes up for pregnancy and telling myself that if it doesn’t happen with this that’s ok, and to just be grateful that I now know when to expect my first af from the miscarriage so we can start trying again properly. I really expected it to mess my cycles up because of how long the bleeding was. I know I’ll still feel disappointment if I’m not but it will be a relief to get that first af out of the way. I tested today and still getting those darn shadows so it’s going to be hard for the next few days to not wonder if it’s still the left over hcg or a new pregnancy. I’m going to test everyday now for the next few days and see if they start darkening up. At 8dpo today I 100% say it’s still left over because I’ve never had lines until evening 9dpo/10dpo. Literally the day before ovulation my bloods came back with hcg at 7. That was over a week ago now. How can I still be having shadows. It’s frustrating. These are my tests from this afternoon wet and dried.

 

[MrsKatie]

@Laurabub84 i had a bfp at 8dpo this time around and I never had a bfp that early either. I am praying this is a new healthy sticky pregnancy for you.

 

[NDH]

Wow Laura that is quite the temp spike! FX your shadow darkens into a clear bfp

I used to stop temping once I'd confirmed ovulation ao I couldnt overanalyze my post o temps and I wish I'd done that again.

 

[josephine3]

@Laurabub84 I'm so pleased you ovulated and I'm totally seeing those lines, when did you last do a hpt? I'm so hoping that it's a new line for you that would be amazing xx

 

[Laurabub84]

Thanks ladies. @josephine3 i took 2 Wednesday and I really had to look to see the shadows that were left, so these are more obvious in person but my pee was also more diluted the other day, so it could be that they would have been the same darkness Wednesday.

 

[jellybeanxx]

@Laurabub84 that’s a great temp spike! It’s difficult with those strip tests as they can show faint lines quite often anyway! If you’ve ovulated then the hcg will have dropped low enough anyway. Hopefully you’ll see those darkening up in the next couple of days. Fx for you!

 

[josephine3]

Uhhh same thing, I did a test about 9pm, nothing obvious but a few hours later it's got a line!
I guess I have to stop obsessing for the day and go to bed. I would disregard them if I hadn't done a test a week ago that stayed almost completely white.

 

[littlewitch]

Josephine3--I see it. I really, really hope this is it for you. I will be eagerly following along with your tests.

 

[NDH]

I totally see something on my crappy phone even Josephine!

 

[m3mommy]

@josephine3 I definitely see something!

I’ve been lurking here every night but really haven’t had much to contribute. Doctors office called today and confirmed ovulation from my Day 21 bloodwork. I’m 8DPO and have been testing like a lunatic since 6DPO.

I have sore boobs, my face broke out SO BAD this morning, and I started getting nauseous this evening. I do not feel pregnant, but who knows?

I wanted to share this with you ladies though because it totally shocked me seeing it. I was looking through charts on FF and came across one that looked a lot like mine. So I overlayed it on mine and WOW. So crazy!
