October Sticky Beans!

[Angel5000]

Going to avoid testing today because I'm very low on my Wondfo's, and going to try to hold off for 10DPO, which is the day before AF is due. That's mid-week though so if I do test then it'll be an evening test with a 4-hr hold or so. i Just don't think I can bring myself to test in the morning and have to deal with trying to analyze a stick before I go to work! I need to be focused when I deal with students.

Side note: smell of peanuts is not bothering me today. So it was maybe just something yesterday. :/

Today is BrickCon - which is a lego convention in Seattle. We are meeting up with my Aunt and her son (my 8 year old cousin) to go and spend some time together at BrickCon. DH and my BIL are super excited about it. My sister and I think it's hilarious that grown men are that excited about Lego's but we're going to have a good time and it'll get us out of the house and get our minds off of the stress we've had lately.


Thanks Black! That makes me feel better!! I'm hoping it doesn't keep going down, but I am at least a decent amount above cover line at the moment.

DH was trying to figure out what it meant that my temp was dropping and he got disappointed that my temp was still dropping. It was pretty cute.

I'm 9 dpo today and I caved... But I caved in a stupid way cause I went to Tesco and all they had were £9 digi clear blues. And I got a BIG FAT NEGATIVE. Why did I do it to myself?

Just after I did it I got a hot flush and felt dizzy. I feel stupid for caving and buying a stupid expensive test.

Don't feel stupid, we've all done it. Just remember 9DPO is still very early and you've got a good chance still. Plus, when those tests say "5 days before missed period" they are assuming you have a 14 day LP, which means 9DPO is the absolute earliest you could test, assuming you implanted early enough to create enough hcg to actually get a BFP that early.

It's just disappointing. And I don't know why I'm getting all excited cause there's no guarentee even if I do get pregnant after my 3 losses. I just want my rainbow baby...

Lawes, sorry, we all know how much it sucks to see a BFN. But it's true that you're still early so you're definitely still in

And ivksa, definitely test in the morning! temp spike is a good sign, especially if you're already 13dpo! Having my fingers crossed

Has your doctor determined any reason why you might have had so many losses? A friend of mine had 3 miscarriages before she got her rainbow and her doctor told her after the 3rd that they were going to put her on something (don't remember what it was they gave her) the next time she got pregnant to help her keep it. Whatever it was worked because that was her rainbow baby.

ladies hope your all good af light today so hope Its finished tomorrow then I can get back to xx

Hi ladies! 6dpo for me. Have been feeling sick
-- nauseous and headachy all day. Too early to be symptom spotting so I guess I'm just having an off day. Though I did read this about the early factor pregnancy hormone 2 or so days after fertilization and I thought it was interesting :

Alawes, it's ok to feel that way I think we all do to varying degrees at some point or another. Plus the most sensitive will be 5 or 6 days before your missed period, which they count as they day after af is due. So
10 or 11 dpo and even then it's only like 60
Percent accurate! Fingers crossed for you!

Beth and ivksa and todsmommy and angel- fingers crossed for you both as well

Black - how are you feeling?

 

[todmommy4568]

ivksa - happy to hear you are enjoying your new job, always a great feeling when you enjoy work. Excited to see a test from you!

beth - I thought a saw a shadow of a line but not one that I can keep in my sight, something is catching my eye though!

angel - hope you are having fun at BrickCon!

Lawes - don't feel stupid for buying the expensive test, we have all been there.

ripple - hope you feel better, interesting article. I don't know if I would want to know that early seems like then noticing chemicals would be even more common and thats a tough go. When are you going to start testing?

AFM got a little carried away last night and didn't take temp this morning as it would have been inaccurate anyways from the drinking. I am really kicking myself because we didn't BD last night. We did early this morning around 6 AM but it still is making me nervous I am still having O pains so maybe I didn't completely ruin our chances.

 

[Lawes1987]

My doctor will only send urine away once your 8 weeks from the first day of your last period so my 3rd miscarriage isn't on my records as it was at 6 weeks that I lost.

I'm due on my period on Thursday. So it's only 4/5 days before my period is due. I'll test again on Tuesday. Maybe buy the cheap own brands from Tesco.

[cscbeth8421]

Just had to share my glowing inverted test.

 

[Angel5000]

All these BFP are making me want to test!!! Trying SO HARD to hold off until 10 DPO.

Today while at BrickCon I kept getting randomly nauseous and light headed. FX it's a good sign!!

 

[Blackrain90]

YAY Beth I'm so excited!!!!

 

[Blackrain90]

Angel nausea is always a good sign!!! (When ttc haha)

 

[MsRipple]

Congrats Beth, amazing !

Alawes, have you thought about a different doctor? Not that there is a problem, but in the event there was A simple blood test could identify a problem that is easily fixed, so it seems silly that they will not do this.

As for me, I am hoping to hold off on testing til at least 10 dpo unless I see some encouraging signs or symptoms, but we will see what happens!

14dpo
Temp up again this morning.


😍😍 Beth - looks great!
