13 dpo today
Omg congrats!!
13 dpo today
I'm symptom spotting purely for the fact that last month was our last cycle before trying and I had such bad pms I never get pms so I'm spotting so that when I do get my bfp I know what things are different to normal although ibe had some things that are weird for me even from last cycle and normal life so trying not to get my hopes up to muchHow do you guys deal with the symptom spotting and the wait? I'm about 8 dpo and symptom spotting like crazy. I feel like I'm waiting every day for that magical testing day. Cramping like crazy but AF isn't due until the 22nd. I feel like someone is using my uterus as a pin cushion. I don't know how I'm going to deal with the anticipation when we start actually trying. This month was just the first "we'll take a few more risks than normal" month. How do you guys do it?

So.. Since it's Father's day I figured I would test so by the off chance it was positive I could surprise him today. I used and IC and it was stark white. Debated on dipping my last FRER knowing it would probably be a waste, but figured if I had any chance of a positive at 8 DPO I would need to use something more sensitive.
Well... I swear I have the faintest of lines! It showed up before the time limit. At first I figured it wasn't going to show anything and set it down.. kept kind of glancing at it.. then as the time limit was coming up I grabbed it and looked closer and there was a line!
I keep looking at it expecting it to disappear but it's definitely there!
So I'm super excited that this may actually be our month! I don't want to tell him, though. Not unless I get a darker line today. So I'm going to go buy some more FRERs and try with SMU and see if something more shows up. I really want to tell him if I can get a definite positive, but without it I don't want to get his hopes up.
I'm not counting it, yet. I'm hoping it gets darker.. how faint it is I'm afraid it's some kind of indent, so we shall see! Usually with the indents I can shine a light through the back and they're gone. This one leaves a shadow.
I'd post a picture, but I can't seem to capture it.
