MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

Ooo all of this sounds promising for you girls! Stalking!

 

[stephj25]

has anyone had any yellow CM? I've got some today, really watery. Good sign?

 

[Sherley]

I've not had it but I've seen others on these boards say it was a good sign x

 

[pennymarie]

Just got some OTC progesterone cream. I'm going to wait until tomorrow's temperature to see if I'm going to use it. Still have to figure out how to know what is 1/4 tsp and what's 1/2 tsp. But my temperature is already dipping, and my cramps are bad, and my nipples hurt. These are all AF symptoms, so I'm just scared.

Any opinions?

Anyone?

I don't have any experience with it, but I tried to search for some answers for you. One lady said she started it the day of ovulation and then followed until af was expected. She said to rub it on areas that absorb fat well such as breasts, chest, neck, and inner arms. She put it on once in morning and once at night.

She said to take a pregnancy test around date af is due. She said if it is negative to stop using the cream and wait to use it again until after next ovulation. She said if the test is positive to use it for about 13 weeks or so because the placenta will start making progesterone.

--But I would get more opinions before following this since this was just one person's experience. Did it come with instructions? Does anyone else have any experience/information?

The instructions say the exact same thing about where to put it and when. But I don't know when to stop. Some of the people sy a couple days after AF is due just in case you ovulated late etc.

I'm just getting scared because my temperatures keep dipping.

Side note: I set my alarm for 6am to take temperature, but usually go back to bed and wake up at 8am. Yesterday 6am temp was 97.9, but 8am was 97.5....same with today. I thought they were supposed to get higher after you woke up. I've been recording the lowest because I thought that's what BBT was about

 

[burgbrandy]

U really should just record the first temp cuz it is more accurate.

When i used the cream, i started at 3 dpo after i confirmed o with bbt. I had an lp of 13 days so i planned on using it until 16 dpo, then testing and stopping if it was bfn. However, af showed up on 15 dpo while still using the cream.

 

[pennymarie]

but why is my first one higher than the second? Maybe I didn't have a restful sleep? I'm going to see if FF has anything about this

burgbrandy: I can see what you mean by triphasic now. Your body sure likes to do it that way...how confusing! I hope it's a true one though for you!

 

[want2bemommy]

I'm on 100mg progesterone 3 times a day orally- I don't know my levels but have had 2 m/c so dr said it can't hurt. So far this time around is completely unlike the other two, fingers crossed

 

[Mummy to HP]

Great lines Mummy to HP so is that 3 BFP's now?

Yeah I guess it is 3 now . Still hasn't sunk in yet and as I have no symptoms its difficult remembering lol. Fingers crossed all goes well . Good luck to all ladies testing!

Happy weekend.

 

[pennymarie]

want2: did your doctor ever discuss the difference between cream and pill? From my research it seems that the pills are so high because so little of it get absorbed, and most stays in your liver?

The cream has 450mg per oz...so if that were true, I would be getting A LOT...

Doctors said I would have to have multiple MC in order to be considered for progesterone pills. Even though my luteal phase is maybe 8 days? They seem so unhelpful

 

[Mummy to HP]

I want to upload my new tests photo but its from my phone and the photo won't upload

Can you text/email it to a computer and then upload?

edit: I see the photos now! I think they are very nice. Remember the countdowntopregnancy stats by brand. You can see what the average light, faint, standard, strong positive percentages are for the second brand.

I understand being cautious. Let me know whenever you decide to become official.

HIya I think we can make it offical if things go wrong it wont be because I have posted BFP on here lol.

Thanks xx

Today is STRESSING me out!!! Still no AF, no spotting or anything. I gave in and tested, and it hasn't helped at all. There is a line and its pink, but think the test is faulty, it was like the ink ran, and there was liquid in the test window, which was like swimming around. The control line is ok. I've took two pics, at about 4 mins, but the lines were there in about 2 mins, ones in the case, and ones out. There not great pics but you can see the lines, can you see what I mean about the ink? It's like there's 3 lines? So now I have no answer still, but kinda getting my hopes up, even tho I'm telling myself its faulty/ evap can't help but hope. Will retest in the morning. I've never bought tests of eBay before, hoping a havnt Gita dodgy batch, but knowing my look I have. I'm between 11-14dpo, so if it was a true BFP I'd think it should be darker as well.

Just took this at about 8 mins. I know it's out of the case so doesn't count, but seems to be a clearer pic x

If that was my test I would say that looks positive hun. I think you might have your bfp. Good luck. xxx

 

[ClandestineTX]

@Liz, looks like a straight up BFP to me! I'd test again in the morning, but it doesn't look faint/ questionable at all in my book!

 

[Sherley]

Hi liz1985, I'm pretty sure that's a bfp too! X
This thread is insane, lots of baby dust!

 

[liz1985]

Thanks for looking! If I'd just put the test down and come back in three mins, I prob would have thought BFP as well, but because I watched and saw that the urine actually came into the test window and ink went all funny I'm not convinced, I've never had a test do that before. Plus I'm feeling so crampy and like AF is on its way, and I have no symptoms like a did with DS? I guess all I can do is retest in the morning if still no AF.

 

[Sherley]

I watched my tests and they did that too. If we both get bfp again in the morning we will have pretty much the same due date!
I am feeling very crampy too and not much in the way of symptoms. It's early days x

 

[OurLilFlu]

Looks like a BFP, it might of just absorbed quicker on one side over the other but the second line only turns pink because it reacts with hcg... Which I think it's clear was in your pee! Test again with something else to confirm but I think you got it!

 

[missranda]

Hey, I'm testing on the 7th! Hope it's not too late to join. I might test early too.

Good luck for you in the morning. I'll prob end up testing about 3am, when I wake up for a wee as I won't be able to wait lol. Hope this is it for both of us! X
