June 2018 Testers! Fireflies and Father’s Day Surprises

[amantila]

I’m out. Started spotting this afternoon on 12dpo. Expect AF in full force tomorrow due to spotting and temp drops.

 

[Team Davis]

I'm testing on June 2nd

Got my blood drawn today for my progesterone levels. The last 3 months were in the 4-5 range. I've been on femara, and made me ovulate at the normal time (instead of early) so I hope this helps me get a bfp!

I keep checking my email for my lab results like a stalker haha

 

[Rainbobby18]

I need to be marked as tbd

 

[autumnal]

Sorry amantila

Good luck to you all testing tomorrow!

 

[nyxnw]

Mark me to test on the 20th please. I know I won’t last until AF lol

Hi friends! Late to follow along here but hopeful you don't mind me popping in cheer on your BFP! SO many of you have been on this journey with me and I'm hoping you get your positives this month! Spreading so much baby dust!

Random question, but my boobs have been tender all week but today they feel extra heavy I'm a 40 DD (UK size not sure if America is the same size) so my boobs are normally heavy but this week they feel heavier and more perky lol

Can see loads of veins more visable running to my nipples aswell.. symptom spotting big time cause in got a bfn this morning not due till Sunday/Monday didn't get early a bfp on either of my two pregnancy so I'm still holding out hope

Guys! I just had my first Fertility specialist appt. and it went great! He's very proactive and since I am CD9 today, he is going to do an ultrasound to check follicles on the morning of CD13, then give me a trigger shot on CD13 (evening) and progesterone suppositories and we are either going to try naturally w/ the trigger shot or do our first round of IUI on CD15! Moving so fast, but so excited to have the opportunity to actually TRY something this cycle. So happy!

Ducky..I'm waiting to do opks..this temp thing is new to me and kind of fun..I'm guess I had ovulation bleeding and nothing more. I'm just frustrated my and the SO have been together for 5 years no protection and I finally get preggo than m/c and now I'm all sorts of symptom spotting...so I'll eventually get to opks..but mostly going to have to see a specialist hes got low count and slow swimmers...if we actually ever go to full term and have a baby we always joked the child middle name was going to be champ lol

My boobs were my first indication at about 8dpo they started hurting and never stopped...really full too. Didn't have the veins.

I was the opposite, had all the symptoms under the sun during all my TWW throughout my years(7) of trying, sore boobs was guaranteed for me after every ovulation

But my bfp cycle I had no symptoms whatsoever, not even sore boobs, and even my temp dropped as per usual(I was convinced AF was on her way) and veins didn’t show on boobs until very late in third trimester for me

 

[tbfromlv]

Sorry about AF ladies

LuLu- how exciting!! Great news!

 

[marvstee]

Big hugs for the ones who didn’t have a BFP this round & congrats for the ones who did!
Sending you all baby dust

Currently cd 29 but had a lot of miscommunication with the hospital past month which led to not using the hcg trigger shot as usually because they thought my follicles weren’t growing. Booked an apt with RE to discuss next step (in vitro maturation) on Tuesday and he wanted to do an ultrasound to check where I was in my cycle and saw I did recently ovulate (app says May 26th) so if you could please add me for June 9th?

Really hoping for a BFP one week before Father’s Day, it would be the best gift to him

 

[Flueky88]

Had a 0.5 temp drop this morning. No need to test, AF will be on her way soon.


Still keeping my June 30th testing date as well though

Good luck to all thr testers and sorry to those that get AF.

LuLu_TTC - THAT'S SOOOOO EXCITING! So no Femara this cycle? That's exactly what I just did, natural cycle with monitoring, Ovidrel trigger and IUI. I'm so hoping it did the trick for me and for you! I know it feels great to take these steps. I didn't realize how nervous I would be though. It's really nothing to stress about though so try to stay relaxed. (yeah right)

AFM - I've resisted testing yesterday and this morning. If I make it past FMU I'm usually okay for the day. So the real testing starts tomorrow at 10DPO. I'm actually really scared to test for the first time ever. The disappointment if this cycle is a BFN will feel so much worse than the others.

 

[jlmeans0422]

Hey Tb I was listed under June 5th but it looks like my name is gone. Not sure it matters this cycle as my temp took a nice drop this morning.

I will also be testing June 29th if I don't get my BFP this round

I know you should not go back and look at tests after the time frame. But as I was emptying the bin I check them again and on two of them is very faint positives.. how is it that after the time frame the line shows up of it just the dye running?

This is what I found
If you happen to be like many women and keep the test around to look at later, you may notice that after that allotted time, the test now appears to have a positive result. This is called an evaporation line. It is not indicative of a positive pregnancy test.

Evaporation Lines
Evaporation lines happen when the urine that was on the test area starts to dry out and evaporate. The chemical composition of that particular urine sample has now changed since that urine sample evaporated, sometimes causing the test to show a positive line. This evaporation line is different from a faint test line (which is a valid positive result) since more time has passed than instructed.

Thanks for the reply I always wondered what people meant when they said it looked like a evap

Thank you everyone!

Dream - I was actually already taking Femara (prescribed by my OB) and was on my last pill, CD9, yesterday when I met with the specialist. He was concerned that my dosage might be too low, as they only prescribed me 2.5mg, but wanted to check my follies. Everything just worked out nicely date-wise, since I usually don't ovulate until CD14 or CD15. FX we get some real answers regardless this month!

Lots of babydust to everyone starting testing. We are officially in June!
