Hey barbs! Can't believe 10 weeks already for you! How exciting!!

@Nat: You can't throw in the towel because I know you are NOT a quitter! That seems like so many years of trying but it happened before it WILL happen again. With or without help it will happen. Just sadly you don't know when. *hugs*

I am 5 dpo here. Today I have been in an extremely lazy mood didn't want to do a damn thing today. This evening I have also been cramping not like AF cramps but cramping. I had this with my chem preg. so maybe baby? *shrugs* Trying not to over obsess it though I have started testing this morning BUT if I only obsess with it in the morning meh I can deal with that. Just don't want to be obsessing 24/7. No true idea when AF will be here anywhere between 5 and 8 days roughly. Until then I have WONDFO cheapies and they are my friend XD

cramping around 5dpo doesnt necessariliy mean bad news.
Actually this cycle I got pregnant, I had sharp pains on 5dpo and then also 6dpo. I'm certain it was implantation cramps....4 days later, bfp. Did you feel implantation cramps your cycle you had the chemical pregnancy?
Wondering, did you do any investigations with your doctor to check your hormone levels and that things check out clear?

Yeah 10 weeks already! Honestly, time is moving pretty steady. It's weird to go from always doing some thing, waiting on the next two weeks, all the fertility treatments I've endured to - living a normal life. Some days I'm like 'gee, nothing much to do' lol

I want to say yes I felt some implantation cramps back in April and I know I also did with Claire. And I only had the initial blood work done with the chem preg. went in on Tuesday morning by the time they called in the afternoon I already said it's probably a chem preg. they agreed. HCG at that point was only a 5.99.

And XD Might not be much to do right now but you'll think of things to keep yourself busy. I know I built a lot of puzzles during my pregnancy. XD

 

[barbikins]

You're likely to conceive on your own within the year. You've done it before with Claire and even though you had that CP, your body can do it. Chemical's are not uncommon. I've had two. The first one was not confirmed but I know.

Hey I know, I'll be arms full! But it's a weird transition from Fertility Treatments to nothing to do but wait. The world I've been in for 2.5 years was insane and crazy and my mind always busy. I'll still have doctor appointments and more than the average. But still, its like I have this ....time....LOL

 

[butterflywolf]

XD It's good that you have time though! Still so happy for you Barbs!

I know I'll fall preggy again just who knows when. That's what I gotta tell myself. Not sure if my body is just more tired right now or not but today and yesterday all I want to do is sleep. I just started a new workout Thursday. Otherwise I know with Claire I was also extremely tired early on like at 5 weeks.

 

[barbikins]

well it may be a combination of work out & taking care of a baby. also depends on where you're in your cycle you can be exhausted!
I am wishing you the best & a speedy pregnancy

 

[butterflywolf]

Well 8 dpo still early and I already really hate this cycle. Unlike last month I did not 'feel' like I would be pregnant. This month I do and it's driving me insane. These are the months I can't stand. HPT is stark white. Anywhere between 1-4 more days until AF will arrive. I also think my thermometer might be getting worn out. Since they are fairly cheap I'll probably pick up a new one for the next cycle.

 

[butterflywolf]

All right maybe it isn't fully stark white. Opinions? https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=280526

 

[barbikins]

8 dpo is too early. most women don't get positive on even 9dpo unless they're having multiples....so I'd say 10/11/12 is more accurate. Don't drive yourself crazy xo

 

[barbikins]

There seems to be some kinda shadow on your test. FX it turns into some thing!
Was this a very dried test? How long after testing is this result?

That pic was taken between 20-30 mins after taking it. I know I shouldn't drive myself crazy but it's hard not to XD If I'm not mistaken the average day to get a pos. is 12 dpo. However I have always had it early. With the first mc it was day 9 dpo, with Claire 7 dpo, with the chem either 8 or 10 dpo.

 

[eyemom]

Hmm, I do see a squinter, but after that long it could well be an evap. I really hope it gets darker in the coming days!

 

[barbikins]

wow you got early results eh? crazy
you going to test tomorrow & every day? did you test again today ?

 

[butterflywolf]

I think I got early results because I always lucked out with FRER. With Claire I only had 12 or less hcg. Tested positive the day before I went and got blood work and bloodwork was 12 that day. And I did test again this afternoon but not sure. Here

The second photo I don't see anything. Maybe a shadow but nothing jumps out at me.
Keep us posted on today's test!

 

[butterflywolf]

I think this is line eye for me XP But 9 dpo for you https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=280858

 

[barbikins]

HRm, I can't see a second line but I keep thinking maybe ? LOL
It's still so early ...FX you see a line soon!

 

[butterflywolf]

Took a Frer just now SMU a 4 hour plus hold. Neg. Just going to say I'm out yea it's early but I just am no longer 'feeling it'. So hoping with that mind set I'll stop testing a lot right now and if AF doesn't show by Monday then I'll test again.

 

[eyemom]

aw poop well I still hope you get a lovely surprise

 

[barbikins]

its hard if you got very early positives before. but hang in there!
