I can't get my phone to focus right but...here is 2 pics for you to squint at...I am waiting for it to dry out so I can get a better snap.
Well, ladies, I have bad news and good news.
The bad news is that I'm a hypocrite. Back in late November/early December, when I was still WTT, I came on to one of these threads and mentioned that I didn't understand why so many women test early when one's period acts as a free "negative" pregnancy test, and early pregnancy tests so often give false negatives. Why drive yourself crazy with early BFNs, I said? Why not just wait at least until your missed period? I solemnly proclaimed my sincere intentions of waiting till after my missed period once it was my turn to TTC.
I've tested early twice now, once at 9 dpo & once this morning (12 dpo). Oh, I had my excuses--I mean--reasons. First there were my symptoms: abdominal cramping/tightness/pressure, repeated shows of a cloudy, stretchy mucus long past ovulation, fatigue, frequent urination, full breasts, and nausea. Then there was the dream I had on Friday night wherein my hot doctor told me I was pregnant, marking his first appearance in one of my dreams despite his adorableness. And then there was the fact that next week is my birthday, and if I could ascertain a pregnancy now, DH could add some maternity stuff to his gift list for me. Sadly, my initial early test at 9 dpo was BFN.
And now, the good news: today's test on the Answer brand cheapie HPT was...
Very faint, but definitely there. At the ages of 31 (him) and almost-31 (me), a scant month after coming off the Mirena, it seems we have managed to conceive on our first try!
Very excited. Called my hot doctor's office to see if he would put in the order for a blood test to confirm ASAP. My words on the phone: "And tell that slacker not to take two weeks to put the order in! I wanna get this done now!"
This was my test this morning... Anyone see anything there? I think I just have bad line eye. Only 11 dpo so there is still hope!

So I put myself down as the got me today. But now I'm not sure... My info:
This is my very first month TTC #1 so I'm as much of a newbie as you can be. I have been tracking my periods on a couple Apps which then have estimated my cycle length and when I most likely ovulate. So that is what I used this month. My last AF was 12/13-12-17 and it estimated O on the 27th... I know this probably isn't 100% accurate since everyone is different. So we BDed just about every other day a few days before and after that date. It says AF is due on 1/9 (tomorrow) ( my average cycle is 27 days)
For the last week I've been experiencing some dull cramping, headaches, being cold, and some backaches. All making me think I'd get a BFP. I have taken multiple test including this morning and all are BFN's. since I am now according to my tracker 12DPO I'm trusting that result almost completely. Then I thought the came today. Welllll only a very little bit came out and is more brownish the red..and that has mostly stopped only after a couple hours.. Still a little bit there when wiped with t.p... I sometimes have that happen at the very tail end of my period but never before, it always just starts off at a normal to heavy flow with lots of cramping...so far just some very mild cramps...
Not sure what to think? Maybe my O day was actually later and this could be implantation spotting? Or just an unusual start to my period? I may test again in a couple days if I don't get a normal period flow.... Ugh
New to this site TTC for 5 months now, will be looking for a BFP on January 21!!
WelcomeHi can I join. Please put me down for the 14th. I'll be testing then if AF doesn't show. TTC number 2. I have an 11&1/2 month old boy already. Good luck to all those still to test, congrats to those with their BFP and good luck for the next month to those with a BFN this month x
Ps a little hope for those who are late but still BFN. I didn't get my BFP last time until I was 21DPO so there is still hope till AF shows ))
Af finally showed this morning. My cycles seem to be getting longer though. 35 day this month :s
Good luck everyone!

ok so i took my one and only digi .. it came back BFN , AF is due on the 12th so i am not out yet until she arrives.. it will be pretty interesting to get AF since we had been bd'ing since AF stopped and until this past saturday .. ughh ttc since May -June of last year
WelcomeHi ladies, just stumbled upon this thread. I'd most likely be testing around end of the month.. to all
Of what? My test or my hot doctor?We need pics, woman!
Girls, I need your help.... I'm really confused...
I did another opk today, it was definitely positive, darker than the control line. But I just went to the toilet and my cm seems to be changing from ewcm to less thick and stretchy.... there's still a lot of it, but my back pain and sore boobs have stopped aswell... So going off the normal symptoms I'd say I've already ovulated, though with the opk being positive that would mean I don't ovulate for another 24 hours (or more?)
Really don't know what to think anymore!! Really really hope we caught that egg this time with our BD on saturday night... I had such a good and happy feeling after, that we finally did manage to BD properly and then all this O malarky has made me all down again cause I'm scared we might've missed it now...
I guess I just want to fast forward time to the 18th so I can test and know what's what...

Okay, it was hard to take a pic of my BFP. The line is faint and my camera is crappy and the flash kept blurring it out altogether. But, after putting it outside in natural light on my dirty car and focusing the camera manually, this is what I came up with:ooo.. both had to go over and re-read. I totally missed about the hot doctor, but I WAS meaning the test
I am not trying to get anyone down here by saying this, but I just want everyone to be aware. Just because you haven't had trouble getting pregnant in the past, does not mean that you are still "fertile" as alot of you put it and won't have trouble now or in the future. I have a beautiful 5 year old little girl who was conceived on the first try, but now can't seem to get pregnant for the life of me. I thought I would never have a problem as DH and I are obviously "fertile", but here we are after almost 5 years between NTNP and actively trying and nothing. Also, most of the other women who are having trouble that I talk to regularly on here have other children aswell!

i only said i know we dont have problems since we went to my ob a couple months ago and everything and i mean everything checked out just fine. i wasnt trying to be a know it all or anyhthing just stating what i was told.. the only reason why we use pre seed is because its the only lubricant that i am not allergic to . not really as a "helper" ..

As for my hot doctor, sadly, I do not have any pictures of him. I imagine he would find it suspicious if I tried to take his picture at one of our appointments, and the picture of him on the clinic's Web site is tiny and does not do him justice.
As a consolation prize, here is a picture of my cat licking the pee-pee end of my test. (This test was so cheap that it lacked a cap!) Enjoy.
