Good morning ladies...

1 dpo....FINALLY!!!! lol I'm not sure about this month though, only because I have to give more blood tomorrow....I just gave these doctors a good amount last month....I think it was 7 tubes to be exact....if implantation occurs after, I dodged a bullet,as I am already anemic,and I know it's not good to give blood during pregnancy ( but I'm not pregnant,just paranoid)...ugh,why me?!? It's always something going on, but hoping for the best....

Ronnie - are you talking about blood tests or doing a donation. Donations aren't recommended in pregnancy because the high volume (500ml) can deplete your iron. But normal blood test vials are only around 5 ml - so even 7 would still have you faar below the donation amount... And I'm not even sure if there's much risk so early on - sounds like you'll definitely implant after the tests. Welcome to the TWW!

 

[RonnieV]

Oh... lol. . I feel stupid now.....thanks for letting me know.. . Sweat off my back now...I'm only doing blood test....whew!!!!

 

[KrissyB]

No worries Ronnie - I only know because I work with a lot of blood cultures. Hope all your results come back normal and healthy!

 

[Dark_Star]

2-3 days late now (my cycle varies) and still negative... not sure what's going on here.

Has anyone here had a BFN for days after their period was due and still been pregnant?

 

[KrissyB]

Darkstar - absolutely. It took me almost 6 weeks to get a bfp with my daughter. You are not out until af shows up!!

afm - no bday present for the hubby... Yet! Bfn today but I am only 7 dpo, very happy with my temps, and I THINK the spotting stopped (fxed). I've also developed the first case of line eye that I've ever had in my life so all in all I'm hopeful the dh might get a belated present in a few more days. I'll use another frer on Monday (maybe Sunday) if af stays away - and will be blazing through ICs in the meantime lol

krissy your chart looks great!

Krissy your chart looks great! Maybe with the small dip yesterday and spotting it was implantation! I hope so.


AFM: 4 DPO not as moody or tired today thank goodness. Had a slight temp drop, hopefully Its a sign I will be implanting in a couple days. But I did take it 45 minutes early because I woke up before my alarm.

Getting stuff together for our weekend camping trip and car show. It's crazy how much stuff you have to take for a weekend away with a 8 month old. lol. I need a bigger car

krissy: your chart does look fantastic! I keep compairing it to my own.

darkstar: it also took me about 2 weeks late until I got bfp with ds - there is a thread somewhere on here about hcg levels in women and testing.. it was a good read

EDIT: here is the link: https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/two-week-wait/2164359-some-information-hcg-levels-testing.html

afm: more slight nausea today.. ff finally gave me crosshairs.. am worried though with a late ovulation..cramping etc.. I might have a short LP stage? I am having the same symptoms as last cycle and AF was different then too. If AF gets me this cycle I am thinking of starting on Vitex. Has anyone taken it? What was your experience??

Sending extra to everyone still on the fence and some for me as well

 

[Dark_Star]

I honestly have no idea what to think.
My 3 cycles before I got pregnant in March were 24, 25, and 25 days.
I'm currently on day 27.
On the month I got pregnant I BD on days 12 and 15, I did on the same days this month. I had pains that I suspect were implantation pains on the same CD this month as I did last time I was pregnant.

But... I had my D&C on May 29th and had a period 21 days later. So maybe my parts are still recalibrating themselves?

No symptoms at all besides tiredness and bloating which would also be PMS.

Thanks for the link, my fellow Canadian

 

[KrissyB]

Canada - Is this your first cycle temping? Last month was mine, and I found out that I have later O/shorter LP than I expected. I thought it was a fluke, but I O'ed just as late this month too. I've done a LOT of reading on it, and there's definitely some question over if short LPs matter.... but if anything, they certainly don't HELP you get a . Deal has taken vitex and got great results with it in a very short time. If I'm out this month, that's probably the route I'll take next month too. FXed neither of us need it

testing end of july!!

 

[Lil Mama Bear]

Hi! New here, I just joined yesterday while I was looking for OPK answers... and I'm thinking I'll now be joining the TWW group!

I'll be testing by July 30th, except my hubby's birthday is the 27th so I'm really hopeful that I'll be able to give him some exciting news then!

Fingers crossed and baby dust all around!!

 

[DandJ]

:wave: Hi Mama Bear! I am testing on July 31st, Fx for good news for both of us!

 

[caringo]

Alright ladies...please tell me getting a cold is a sign of pregnancy!! nose is feeling sniffly and stuffed up...doesn't help that's it's freezing at work right now! I feel like AF might be coming...feel sort of wet down there, lol. Hope it doesn't cuz I'm the only one manning the shop!

Good luck and baby dust to all you ladies waiting to test!! Trying to hold out til the 22nd myself!

That made me more optimistic.

I suspect implantation occurred on July 9th (I had "pokey" feeling cramps) which would mean if I started at 1 miu HCG then yesterday when I tested I would have been midpoint between 8 and 16 miu, and it was in the afternoon so would be diluted. So it is quite possible that although I am 2-3 days late, I do not have enough HCG to get a BFP yet.

AAAH! Ladies! I am 11DPO today and got my +! I got a psychic reading which predicted conception for July and there it is this morning! I also got a digi reading "pregnant 1-2 weeks" I was so happy I work my OH up and cried!

Praying this one is a sticky bean! 14 months TTC and 7 months since our 8 week MMC

Goodluck ladies

 

[Dark_Star]

Congratulations!!!
