June, month of new beginnings! Thread for laughter, support and POAS! 19 BFP!

[chelsealynnb]

Smiley, I'm going to test Sunday morning (the day my period is due) so that if it's positive, I can put it inside a Father's Day card and give it to my husband! Normally I would wait and see if my period was late! But the timing is so good with Father's Day I thought I'd crack just this once.

JM, I've been having cramps too. Argh! Good sign or not?!

Putting the test in a Father's Day card would be so cute And cramps are a GREAT sign!


Well we BD last night again just in case I O'd late, my OPK was negative this morning. Still watery CM and an open, soft cervix though. I expect by tonight it will be closed. So I'm officially 1DPO today! I need to read back in the thread to get to know everybody, I'm way behind!

 

[KatO79]

Wow I'm so very far behind in following everyone else's progress
Here's hoping everyone still in the running get's their

I'm feeling much better and hoping now for a July

I feel SO awkward buying hpts too. Isnt that odd? I am a married adult so there is really no reason to get all weird about it but I do! Especially when I am buying tampons and a test at the same time (dont want to jinx it!) lol.

I also have some breaking news. I was too full for my dessert last night. I tried really hard but just couldnt. This has never happened in my 23 years. Stay tuned to see if this very tragic incident is a good sign. Hope so!

Aww here's hoping it's a good sign for you macy

But tampons, I think I read somewhere that tampons are potentially bad when you're TTCing Read it in the book "Plan to Get Pregnant" by Zita West. If you use tampons, they need to be unbleached, 100% cotton and only use them when your flow is heavy. I can't find tampons like that here so I use pads all days I have AF

Hi
As you ladies know I got my faint bfp on a test. Well I did one today and it was negative. I know there both different strengths, but should I got a positive by now?

 

[KrissyB]

~sigh~ Wish my temp had stayed a little higher.... and wish my OPKs had gotten a little lighter (they're still negative - but BARELY). But I did get my cross hairs fwiw. 3 dpo (FXed).

I think we'll try to BD tonight just in case. I thought all this extra info from temping and opks would make things easier - but I'm starting to think ignorance was bliss lol.

Did you use the same brand both times? How many DPO are you?

 

[darkriver]

No I used two different brands. The first one was early predictor which is 12.5

and powerplast which is 25 I believe. I am due on my period tomorrow. I have no cramps or anything.

That's good to know. I typically use pads anyway.

 

[twinkie2]

DR-I'd give it another day or two, it takes about 48hrs to double so if you had a faint line on the 12.5, then it would likely be at least two days before you'd get a faint line on the 25 test. Don't count yourself out yet, still very hopeful for you!

 

[darkriver]

Right so I got a faint on monday. I am going to wait until friday (13th) and test again. I scare myself so much.

 

[sn0wbunnie]

Ladies, I really think this might be it! I started lightly spotting on Monday, which I think was IB. Temp dropped that day, & has since been climbing. AF isn't due until the 15th & I NEVER spot that long before she arrives. Should I wait until then to test?

Anyone wanna look at my chart?

I would test again tomorrow, could definitely just be that the more sensitive test is picking up what the 25 can't detect yet.

 

[darkriver]

Thanks. Hope so I dont think my husband can face another chemical.

 

[twinkie2]

DR-tomorrow or Friday, I'd say Friday if you don't want to cause extra worry just in case it still isn't quite high enough tomorrow.

sn0w-Your chart is looking great, about to go triphasic! I think that you could probably test whenever you'd like. I think that it takes 2-3 days after implantation for an early test to pick up on hcg, so if you have a more sensitive test, you should be go when you want! It really just depends on how squinty you want to get with your test. If you'd rather see a darker line so that you don't have to squint, then maybe give it til closer to the weekend.

 

[curiousowl]

Krissy, fingers crossed for another high temp tomorrow!!

Chelsea, good luck!!

Macy, be strong! You'll be testing again on Friday and it will be positive this time!!!

Speaking of tests, I just purchased my very first box ever! And had a little freak out in my journal. I'm pretty sure the check out lady looked at me funny, but I might have been paranoid.

I bought my first box last weekend (well, other than a few years ago when I was on a bcp that I didn't have periods on and I was paranoid- I once bought a box of tests and a Valentine's Day card. I definitely got some looks then.) I was super, over the top excited, lol. I'm sure if it doesn't happen this cycle that will fade.

~sigh~ Wish my temp had stayed a little higher.... and wish my OPKs had gotten a little lighter (they're still negative - but BARELY). But I did get my cross hairs fwiw. 3 dpo (FXed).

I think we'll try to BD tonight just in case. I thought all this extra info from temping and opks would make things easier - but I'm starting to think ignorance was bliss lol.

Good luck! Your chart looks fairly good to me but I understand. I want those textbook perfectly clear cycles too.

Fingers crossed! Your chart is super promising! I say test in a couple of days


As for me, I think I'm 5dpo. FF still says 6. Does anyone else get insomnia in their TWW? Since O day I've had trouble falling asleep and then keep waking at 4/5/6am and having trouble getting back to sleep. It's super weird for me. I normally sleep like a log, lol.

 

[Deal9027]

sn0wbunnie - your chart looks fabulous!!!! Fx Fx Fx this is your BFP!!!!

I say but I'm a poas addict so I'm not a good influence to those who want to hold out...hahaha!!!!

Melly - I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hopeful for you this cycle!!!! I really think you will get your BFP perfectly timed to give to your hubby on Father's Day!!!

DR - I know it's easier said than done but try to wait a couple days & retest. Twinkie is right that even if your numbered doubled it would still not pick up on the less sensitive test. Fx Fx Fx you see those dark double lines in a couple days!!!!

Krissy - Welcome to the TWW - it's always so reassuring when you get your crosshairs from FF - even though you had a confusing go of it this cycle. Fx Fx Fx you get your BFP!!!!!!

Lynny & Chelsea - welcome to the TWW as well!! When does everyone plan on testing?!?!?!!!

 

[twinkie2]

curious- I get awful insomnia in tww, not sure if it's hormones or anxiety related to the tww I'm guessing the 2nd option.

Thanks! I am going to TRY (I say try because I'm a total POAS addict ) to hold out on testing until 1 day after my missed period, which would be Thursday, June 26th. I don't know how well that is going to go though, because I have about 100 Wondfo cheapies (devil tests!), 3 digis and I think 1 FRER left under my sink. GAH!

 

[MellyH]

darkriver, that makes total sense that you would get a BFN on a less sensitive test the day after a faint BFP on a more sensitive test. Hold out as long as you can ( ) and try again.

Krissy, it's still above the cover line! Yay for cross-hairs.

snowbunnie, I'm no chart expert but it's looking pretty good so far How long did you spot for?

Chelsea, got anything fun/distracting planned to see you through the TWW?

9DPO here today! Still dull cramping on the lower left hand side. Sigh. It must be progesterone from the luteum corpus, if it was implantation/pregnancy-related, wouldn't it be in the middle? Why would it still be off to the side? Hmph. My new 'symptom' was that this morning I found that I had put the empty (and cleaned out) cat-food can back in the fridge last night. Doofus!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Twinkie, I found that I didn't sleep well when I temp during TWW. The couple of months that I stopped temping, boy oh boy, I slept really well during TWW .

Melly, hope the cramping is a good symptom!!

 

[cutieq]

Chelsea, my test date is the 26th. Trying not to cave before then!!
