[frenchiemenno]

Hey ladies sorry I've been away for a few days been getting stuff ready for christmas. Looks like I might be on my way to a bfp https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=210741 Im trying not to get too excited and actually Im quite terrified to get a bfn tomorrow but so far if you tweak it to the invert..I swear there's a line I cant stop looking at it and its driving me crazy I wasnt going to test until christmas eve but today after I watched a music video and started crying I decided to take it. It was with smu maybe thats why its so faint? hopefully will keep you guys updated

I really feel like I see a line but I have no idea if it would be an evap line or not. I'm not really an expert on that
But I'm crossing my fingers for ya!!!!!

I tested this morning with fmu and got a bfn so that means yesterdays + was an evap I know I still have time since Im only 9dpo but for some reason that bfn hit me really hard today. Since I was feeling so down I decided to look up when the hcg hormone will start and it made me feel alittle better. If I am pregnant I am only 3 weeks and 3 days today which means it hasnt produced enough hcg yet to be detected on a hpt and that kind of made me feel relieved, but now so I dont torture myself I will wait to use my other frer on christmas eve
Hope you ladies are doing alright

I'm sorry to hear that! D: Yes, 9 DPO is still early so you still have time!

Also, not to go against what you are saying, but if you are 9DPO, then aren't you only 9 days pregnant? I'm wondering if the 3 week time is from your last period? I know a lot of docs just say you are pregnant from your last period since most women don't actually know when they conceived/ it's hard to say for sure when you ovulated exactly. Either way, thats not to say what they are saying isn't true… because if you count preg from that day then yes, it's still possibly too early to see any results on tests.

Yeah with my daughter the dr went by my last period and she came a day early. Since then my cycles were crazy but for the past 3 months they have been regular 28 days. I found this pregnancy calculator thing that goes by your last period, cycle length and luteal phase and it says Im 3 weeks 2 days that I conceived on the 11th and my due date would be sep/3rd/14, but you could also be right. Ahh so confused lol

I know! It's all very confusing! hahaha. Like I said, I think they base it on last period (doctors do) but technically you can't be pregnant until you ovulate, which is obviously like 2 weeks later.

But whatever!! hahaha Try testing again at 11 DPO and see if you get that BFP!

Yes they do go by the last period, even if you know when you conceive. Since AF is your body cleansing itself of the lining that wasn't used, and your uterus's way of preparing for the next cycle, that's considered the first day. The egg is already matured and just waiting to be released from the ovaries when it's time. I think that's why they go by LMP to start with day 1.

Hope everyone is doing well! Just wanted to update. My first OB appointment is January 6 and I will be 7 weeks 5 days. I'm so excited. Everything's going well. Heartburn still (that was my first real sign, I think, remember?), cramping/stretching, but not too bad. And my pimples still haven't gone away. Maybe that means I'll have a girl lol. DH REEEAAALLLLYYYY wants a boy, so we'll just see what happens! I'll be thrilled either way.

Im hoping it was just too early cause I honestly feel pregnant even tho Im early..I have been so emotional(I cried watching this https://www.uptv.com/blog/uplifting-video-pentatonix-little-drummer-boy haha), I have spider veins again like I did with my daughter it was my first symptom actually, was really bloated last night and Im having cold symptoms but I dont have a cold
Anyway ty for your support, keeping my fx'd for you also will keep you updated when I test again

 

[toasty6]

Abii, I cried watching that video too and I think I got my BFP the next morning!

 

[Bee Bee]

lol! I saw that too but didn't cry I'm not a cryer though. If I do start crying for no reason then I'll have to know for sure that I am preggers! hahahaha

[Abii]

Hey ladies:wave: how are you all doing?

 

[Bee Bee]

Hey ladies:wave: how are you all doing?

Ehhhh… CD24 and no sign of O still. Thinking I might just try to wait for AF instead. Less stressful that way lol. Still going to test with OPKs twice a day and try to BD every other day or every two days. But expecting O at any moment and it not happening is proving to be really distressing

How are you????

 

[Bubblebrain]

Hey ladies:wave: how are you all doing?

I cried at a Christmas film today lol! But right now I'm in panic mode cus hubby is half n hour late home! I mean sat before Christmas I'm sure the traffic out there is awful n his stuck in a jam somewhere.... But it's dark and windy and raining like mad and I've done all the housework and cooked dinner in my nervous state now I'm sat on the floor hugging the dog and just waiting!

 

[Abii]

Bee: awh Im sorry hun, I can imagine how frustrating that must be do you think maybe you missed your surge? did you say you were going to start temping soon? sorry I have horrible memory
and Im pretty frustrated as well. Even though I said I was going to wait until the 24th I broke down and tested with my last 2 ic's this morning and still seeing faint lines, but I always think my eyes are just messing with me cause with my dd I got a very very dark bfp so lol guess Ill find out soon enough, hopefully.

Bubble: awh hope your hubby got home safe and dun worry thats why dogs are our best friends haha

 

[Bubblebrain]

He did turn up and he had got me a 3ds and Pokemon game by exchanging al the old Xbox games he doesn't play anymore clever hubby
GD luck abii! Xx

I've been temping since Day 1, heres my chart: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/48bf59

It's still obvious that I haven't O'd though I had a weird dip but no huge temp jump so I'm certain I haven't yet.

 

[Reba1987]

7dpo and the only symptoms i have are that i've eaten everything but the kitchen sink and my lower tummy feels kind of tight

starting to get kind of sad that maybe i'm not going to get a bfp this month. did i mention i'm testing xmas morning so that if it is a bfp i can put it in my boyfriends xmas stocking?
so if it's a bfn i am hoping it won't make me too sad on xmas.

 

[frenchiemenno]

Hey ladies:wave: how are you all doing?

I'm on CD-88 so just about a couple days before my cycle is as long as my last. Hopefully something will happen!!! (I'm not counting on having a BFP because I tested on the 19th and it was a BFN) So I'm really hoping that at least AF will show up so we have a fresh start!!!!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays as well
as a lot of baby dust!!!
