OMG @KatyW: I want a German HPT!

 

[KatyW]

Clandestine, haha, if it happens for me in the near future, I'll buy a German test and post it on here .

 

[ClandestineTX]

Please do!!! I think that's so much more awesome than "pregnant"

Bias disclosure: I grew up in Germany and my dog is trained in German

 

[burgbrandy]

I also hide my purchases under other things in my cart due to fear of running into people. I live in a tiny town. I went to school with one of the cashiers at Walmart so she laughs at me and teases me when i buy 6 tests and tampons and chocolate. Lol!

Anyway, positive Opk today on cd 10! It's been awhile since I've seen one this early! Bring on the bd marathon! Lol! Hubby has been all about bringing back the spark instead of it feeling like work, so he's been attacking me at random times in random places. Lol! Working on the tractor? Perfect time. Just got out of the shower? Perfect time. Lol!

 

[ClandestineTX]

Go get 'em, burgbrandy!

 

[Ruskiegirl]

Nothing on this mornings test the is still late tho !

Hi all. Just wanted to pop in and report that spotting has kicked in at 13 DPO, just like last clomid cycle, with a corresponding drop in temps and a stark while BFN so I'm most assuredly out with full AF likely to start tomorrow.

Despite best efforts I'm definitely finding myself very very upset. Maybe because I noticed way more "symptoms" this time around then any of my other 8 closely monitored cycles or maybe it's just the "let's get this party started already!" idea really kicking in. My birthday is next month and we were waiting to plan our August vacation pending how things turned out, plus we have a September wedding I thought for sure I'd be pregnant for. Possible still but slipping further away. Sorry for the ramble. I'll be back in the saddle tomorrow but may just let myself wallow a bit today. DH is away tonight so could be the perfect time to just watch a sappy movie and cry it out!

Still keeping the fingers crossed for all those still in the tww and already have a call in to my doctor for Clomid round 3 and a potential RE referral thereafter if necessary for IUI, etc. Feels a little better to have a plan ... but only a little.

Hope everyone is doing ok...the witch got me . I was a bit upset for awhile and then had a shopping spree (I love shopping when I feel bad) but then I saw every pregnant woman in the area. Completely depressing!!! That was Saturday and this morning I decided I am throwing out opks and temping. We are just going to bd a ton and I am not going to stress about it . Easier said than done but I am giving it a try. Good luck everyone!!

 

[stargazer0726]

This morning I got my very positive opk. First month off bcp I got my positive opk on cd 11, month 2 it came on cd 13 this month on cd 16. My cycles keep getting longer and longer which I am going to say is a good good but I have no idea. Anyway we have dtd everyday for the last 5 days and will tonight as well than on to the 2ww.

 

[River54]

FF says I should be testing on Thursday, so I you could update my date?

I did test today and it was bfn.

 

[mommyxofxone]

[ClandestineTX]

FX, Ruskiegirl!

 

[Mme2kdee]

FX Ruskie!!!!! We are all hoping it is a BFP!!

 

[OurLilFlu]

Ruskie hope those are starts of your

 

[Kalush]

Sorry to those who had af get them.

Hope it's the start of a bfp Ruskie!

Welcome Magicwhisper, hope you get your bfp soon!

I hope everyone had a good weekend. We've been crazy busy this week, not all fun things, but that's life. I'm exhausted, have a headache that won't go away, and expect DD to wake up a lot tonight. Just hoping these teeth come in quickly. We were away for the weekend, made it home late, up nice and early with only a 40 min nap for DD in the car. Looking forward to jumping into bed tonight, though since I'm hoping O will happen between wed and sat may have to jump on DH first. Did an opk today just to see and it's definitely darker than last time at cd11 so keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[Mrs A]

Come on ruskie!

 

[Hopeful2014]

@magicwhisper Absolutely; welcome to the group! I love your avatar. It's so cute! I'll add you to TBA unless you have a certain day you will test or expect af. I see you're day 17 of 30. Have you ovulated or are you still waiting for it? Fingers crossed for a BFP!!


@ClandestineTX I usually hide my products in case I see someone I know as well! If you use pads, try the Always Infinity brand. You can get regular, heavy, or overnight. I switched to them when they came out and they are easily my favorite. They are made with infinicel and are supposed to be better at protection but they are not as thick as a lot of other brands. I like the Kotex liners because of their size and shape, but really most of them seem the same to me. Someone else might be able to offer more suggestions for tampons because I don't really have experience with them.

@burgbrandy Great news on a early O and great news about your husband initiating! Good luck!!

@Ruskiegirl Af not being there yet is a great sign. Try another test in the afternoon. Sometimes women have better results with smu or later in the afternoon. Good luck!

@nikkilucky77 Shopping can help sometimes. I hope the more relaxed approach helps. Honestly if you bd as much as possible that is what matters anyway. I moved you to TBA for now.

@stargazer0726 I think the longer cycles could be a good sign too. It must mean that you are regulating. Is your lp getting longer as well or are the ovulation dates just changing? It sounds like you will be covered! Good luck!!

@River54 Date updated. Fingers crossed for a BFP on Thursday!

@mommyxofxone It depends. I'd say test if you really want to and if it will drive you crazy not to know yet. However, don't be too discouraged if it is negative since it will still be early. I know it's so tempting! Good luck!!

@Kalush I hope you get some rest. I know it's hard when lo has teeth coming in. Good luck on O coming soon! Fingers crossed for a BFP!

@Mrs A Did that picture update to Pregnant 2-3? How are you so far?


I loved reading about all of your experiences with buying the products!

@ProfWife I can't imagine what I would do if an older man tried to give us advice!

@newbie2013 Good idea on going to the male's lane. They always seem a bit nervous about it all.

@mommyxofxone I always made my husband get the condoms and carry them as well! He would also hide them under something. He always joked that he didn't want to see someone from my family.

@melann13 Your story made me laugh so hard. I can't believe the clerk discussed her own use of condoms with the man! Yikes!

@KatyW I totally understand buying online. I never really thought about it, but it's really neat that some tests say pregnant in other languages! That would be a neat way to tell/show someone who doesn't know the language! YES! I would love to see it as well!

You should let yourself have some time to express your emotions. I completely understand how it's hard when you want to plan events and don't know when you will be pregnant. It also hurts when you hoped it would work out a certain way and it's not so far.

The evil symptoms make it hard as well. It sucks because we have to wait so long to ovulate and then we have to wait so long to see if it worked! It's not fair that we have to wait until af comes to know that we're out. I think that's why we put so much stock in symptoms and temps.

I am with you about "let's get this party started already!" My husband and I say all the time how we have had enough of this part of the process. We are ready to move on to the actual pregnancy now. I know there will be plently of waiting and worrying then as well, but I'm ready. I know you are too. I'm sorry that you had a bad day. I'm glad to see that there are plans set in case you need them.
