Looking for TTC buddies

[karoolia]

I hope it ends soon Mom15! You sound like a superstar for being so calm about it all.

I got a faint line this morning on a Superdrug test but I'm scared to trust it incase it's an evap!

 

[karoolia]

I can never tell with the superstore test pictures. I hope it gets darker for you!

Are you going to keep testing everyday? You're still pretty early so it could still get a lot darker in just a day or two. Fingers crossed!

 

[Mom15]

Thanks karoolia! The only reason I seem so patient, I think, is because it is my only option. At least I don't get to try yet anyway. I think there is hope that I will still O. Posting a picture next.

 

[Mom15]

I think today's is def darker. Hoping for a positive in the next two days. Fx!

 

[Mom15]

Sorry for the tripple post....I'm hoping for a good temp rise, because I think progesterone might fix my spotting. Or in other words the drop of progesterone will signal to shed everything properly instead of the half-ass (excuse my lingo) bleeding/spotting. Ewcm has increased so a good sign I may actually O.

 

[karoolia]

I think that last one definitely looks darker than the rest! Good luck!

 

[Mom15]

Thanks ❤️

Ricschick - all things crossed your line gets darker. I have never had an evap. So for me a line has always meant conception (unfortunately only once it was a successful pregnancy, but so far I have seen it as a good sine that at least we don't have a problem with fertilization.) looking forward to tomorrow's test(s)

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Mom15, your newest OPK definitely looks darker! Fingers crossed for ovulation soon!

Ricschick, I can definitely see the line on your test, so I sure hope it gets darker and isn't an evap!

So I've been taking cheapie tests every two days to watch my HCG drop (since I'm not getting betas done), and my tests have finally been looking lighter, but then the one I took today looks darker. Is it normal for levels to go back up a little, or do you think I might be catching the begining of a new pregnancy? (I'm trying not to get my hopes up, and I know time will tell, but it's hard not to obsess).

Top test is from two days ago, and bottom is from today:

Spiffy mine got lighter then darker for a few days then lighter again. For a few days I actually thought it could possibly be a new pregnancy, but it seemed too early for when I thought I ovulated. Looking back, I don't think I actually ovulated at all. I guess it is possible I had a chemical, but the af that eventually followed was light so I don't think so.

All you can do is wait and see. If it keeps getting darker/stays dark it is more likely a new pregnancy. If it lightens again then probably just a weird fluctuation in hormones.

Hey, everyone I am currently 11dpo. Have taken 2 tests one at 10 and this morning at 11dpo. Both bfn. Today I had mild cramps, in the middle of my stomach around to my back. Not bad, but noticeable. Could this be implantation? Also, I almost threw up yesterday and this morning.. And then it just went away.. So weird.. Lots of cm. What y all think?

 

[Mom15]

Spiffy - unfortunately I think there can be fluctuations in hCG levels. Hopefully it's a new pregnancy, but if not i hope your hormones quit playing tricks on you and the test will fade fast.
Apsyn - unfortunately sometimes only time will tell. Implantation is def possible at 10dpo. Hope you get your answer soon.

Afm, doing a happy dance!!! Pos opk this morning 😁 I know right away as the test line came up before the control line! My temp was somewhat up this morning. Wonder if it dips again for O tomorrow or not. I'm really curious what my temps will be like. When I checked cm just now I had zero blood, just ewcm! So hopefully I get a good rise and I'm shooting for an 11 day lp as that is my average. Now I'm nervous the condom will break whenever we dtd this weekend. Haha

Here is a pic

 

[ricschick]

Woohoo mom15!! I would so forget the condom lol but your will power is stronger than mine!! Xx

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Yay, mom15!!!

As for me, I started bleeding bright red and cramping today, so I guess this is my first AF. I passed everything 26 days ago, so I wasn't expecting it this soon, but I'm happy to be starting a (hopefully) normal cycle, since I knew my odds of getting pregnant again right after the miscariage were pretty low anyway.

 

[Mom15]

While af sucks, it's good to hear you are off to a fresh start spiffy! Let's hope your body o's a bit earlier than mine.

Thanks ladies! I'm so excited to O. Once I O I'm down to two Af's and one O before we can try. With the weird spotting (which has not showed up today) I really didn't want to try yet, which almost made me nervous during bding. ...honey we need more lube, the condom is going to break.... haha
Just know my body is working is a great feeling. Hoping next O won't drag out as far. I'll assume it will so I won't get impatient. After all I used to O between cd 30-40.

 

[karoolia]

Yay Mom15! That is definitely a positive OPK!!!

Spiffy, I'm glad af arrived. Obviously a new pregnancy would have been great, but there is something reassuring about knowing your body is back on track. I felt relieved when mine started.

 

[ricschick]

I agree with the ladies spiffy as much as it's disappointing it's better to get your 1st af over with as with mine it was a lot heavier than normal so I believe my body needed to bleed. Xx

I've felt a bit crampy today and am very wet sorry tmi which is normally a good sign for me but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Xx

 

[Mom15]

This O is doing a number on me....nauseous, light headed and super tired. I wanted to eat my dinner with my eyes closed and didn't even make it half through cause I feel icky. If I didn't know better I would think I'm in my first trimester. I remember the first couple of O's pp felt like this. Had some more blood just hope it doesn't continue after this next period.
