January testing thread / Starting 2019 with BFPs

[Nima]

Promise this is such a beautiful line, it's not even faint. I would definitely believe it. I sooooo hope to see it getting darker! Exciting!

 

[swedengirl]

Good morning all! I'm sorry for not catching up with everyone and doing a post-n-go but i'm running out of time. I promise to come back later I just wanted to update you guys on this morning's test. Bfn on first response but there might be something faint. Bfp on the brand I've been using since 8dpo, and it's my darkest yet. No clue which one to believe at this point.

Gotta run, sending love to all!

I can see a faint line on the first picture! But not on the second- guessing thats in line with what you see too! That is so strange- I am guessing the other brand cannot be more sensitive than the FRER?

These are what mine look like on cheap tests, but I have yet to get a line on any other brands.

Good morning ladies!

BFN on my first response test today. I’m 14 DPO / Insemination, so I’m feeling like I’m definitely out. No sign of my period, though!

I think I’m going to go grab a few cheap tests from the dollar store just to torture myself.

Next cycle will be 7.5 mg of femara with a trigger.

 

[Nima]

Sorry @KansasMamas it's been a cruel month for you. I really hope next cycle looks better. Hope you're being good to yourself and doing something that makes you feel good (hot bath maybe?)
Hugs.

Thanks, girl!

I took today off work (planned) and have a hot bubble bath and self care day ahead.

I'm so sorry love! This was such a roller coaster for you. But....I'm still holding out hope since AF isn't here.

Take lots of good care of yourself today, you deserve it!

 

[TransDad]

Have some brown spotting this morning. Probably AF finally arriving. Guess I'm out.

Welcome to all the lovely new people! So glad to see so many of us joining in, and I'm praying that this month this thread sees many, many more BFPs.

@Nima how are you doing? I think pomegranate juice is supposed to help with building the uterine lining up, maybe try that? When is your next scan?

@KansasMamas every time I read about that one giant boob I laughed so hard! I know the struggle girl. My left one has a mind of it's own! I hope you're enjoying your bubble bath and pampering today. It was smart to take the day off in advance so you could have some time to yourself. I'm sorry that bleeding has started, but please, please take care of yourself!

@Plus1More How are you feeling today? Every time I see your siggy I chuckle. It's too cute! Ignore the digital and keep testing with regular tests! The digis take a while to pick up a lot of the time.

@BSelck24 How have you been feeling? Are you still testing?

@Selaphyna I'm so glad you joined, and hope that you're doing okay. Has there been any sign of AF?

@Shorty88 I've been thinking about you all day. How are you? Coping with that many losses in such a short period of time is so gut wrenching. I had 2 this year and I'm praying that this one isn't a 3rd, but my heart is with you today. I hope you are being kind and gentle with yourself.

Welcome @FTale! Your siggy mentions an IVF journey. Have you started the process?

@MinnieMcMoose Hey girl! So your thermometer needs batteries? I'm always scared that will happen. If you want to share your chart so we can see it, feel free to! I love charting. Hopefully your temps still will show a nice O pattern.

@BabyG8686 I have my fingers, arms, legs and eyes crossed for you. Looking forward to your next update!

@swedengirl you are definitely not out! My best friend didn't get a positive with her third baby until 16dpo and that baby just turned one. It's not over until AF shows!

@SarahLou372 I'm sorry you're experiencing these pains. I can't really say what I think they are, but if you're worried and pain killers don't help, maybe ring your doc? The last time I had really bad pains it was because I had three cysts that were rupturing. Hope you feel better soon!

@Mrs Thomas Welcome!

Whew...please forgive me if I missed you.

@Selaphyna I'm so glad you joined, and hope that you're doing okay. Has there been any sign of AF?

Not really. I think the only common symptoms I've had from past cycles is some headaches (but I have headaches with the change of weather, not enough caffeine, not enough sleep, so I can't really use that for one or the other) and a bit of nausea (but that's usually only for like a day, and I'm going on day 2 of just feeling run down and sick).

Currently right now, my symptoms is nausea, frequent urination (started yesterday), sore/tender breasts (basically every day since 3 dpo), and I just feel tired today.

No cramping. Had a bit of pinching yesterday, and mild cramping at around 6-7 dpo. Other than, nothing.

Hi. I've had a small amount of pink tinged discharge today, only when I wipe. I don't usually get this before AF. Normally it just starts with bright red light flow straight away. So I still have hope as I feel different, similar symptoms to my other two pregnancies (vivid dreams, sore boobs, hightened smell, pelvic twinges/pulls).

 

[Nima]

@promise07 thank you!
I'm doing ok. I'm at the moment busy obsessing with the spermicidal quality of ultrasound gel, since I found some leftovers from yesterday's scan today, and I'm on my way to meet the donor and inseminate... I think I will use preseed just in case. I have pretty strong ovulation pain but it's really early for me to o on cd11. It never happened to me before. I guess I'll have to wait and see what my temps are doing. And I started eating pomegranate since I didn't want to add so much sugar to my diet with juice. Other than that I'm taking vitamin E and l-arginine, doing fertility yoga and begging my lining to grow an hourly basis...

Aww you're doing everything you can! Has your doctor mentioned estrogen priming in the follicular phase? Maybe an estrogen patch for a few days to help with growing your lining? Fingers crossed for you though! That 6mm lining has probably grown a lot since then!

Thank you dear! I hope it did. And I asked about estrogen, gyno said it's too late now, but we might do that next cycle if it doesn't work out this time. I wish we don't need it!
Are you planning on testing tomorrow? I can't wait to see your line progressing.
