Haha here is my test! 16DPO/4w3d

its beautiful!!!!!

 

[todmommy4568]

Pnut praying it is an implantation dip!

Lawes - hopefully it is a good sign and you just had a late implant or slow rise!

Black - great line! So happy for you!

 

[PnutProtector]

Ooh I hadn't thought of that! I have no idea how long my "normal" leutal phase is as I always had irregular cycles and with the IUD really short ones. FF has never given me crosshairs either so we're just guessing here.

What a lovely line Black!! So excited for you!

 

[cscbeth8421]

Black- beautiful! Bloods today right?! Exciting!!!

 

[MsRipple]

Peed on a wondfo and bfn. Granted it was a three hour hold due to my inability to not pee in the middle of the night....

 

[Angel5000]

Proof that my body is all sorts of weird.... Last night before bed I was feeling warm and out of curiosity I took my temp. It was 95.86. So I took it with another thermometer thinking that must be wrong and got 95.7. Wtf?! This morning bbt is 97.2 (normal range for AF/pre-O) but wow that was weird! And I thought my lowest temp of the day was supposed to be my bbt?

Ripple hoping it just means you haven't built up enough hormone yet.

 

[AngelOb]

I took at wondfo this morning at 9dpo and no surprise it was a bfn. Thought maybe I would get lucky lol. I won't test again until 12dpo when I get home from the weekend. Not taking any tests with me and going to make sure I don't buy any while I'm away. Plenty of cheapies here for next week. Besides, three whole days between gives me a better chance to see something if I'm actually preggo this cycle.

 

[MsRipple]

Not super optimistic but the upside of a shorter luteal phase is quicker certainty! Af due tomorrow (12 dpo)

 

[MsRipple]

@angel I sometimes have slightly lower bbts an hour after waking (though difference is not as much).

 

[PnutProtector]

Look at my lovely temp spike back up!

 

[todmommy4568]

Fx'ed Ripple

Pnut - yay! That's awesome!

Angel - that is super low, how weird! and for you to feel warm when you took it even!

 

[Blackrain90]

Ripple hopefully AF stays away!

Angel I noticed so many factors changed my temp and bbt wasn't always my lowest.

AngelOB you are stronger than most of us haha!

And Pnut I am Soo excited for you to start testing!!!

 

[Lawes1987]

AF is now two days late. I'm CD31, either 12 or 14dpo and still getting

 

[cscbeth8421]

Black- when will you have the bloodwork back?

 

[PnutProtector]

I am having such a hard time resisting testing. But if implantation was yesterday it’s much to early lol
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!

 

[Blackrain90]

Looks like the blood work is just for my red & white blood cell count rather that my hcg. I was about to bail (as I HATE needles), but then I asked the lady here at the clinic and she said that's the most common blood work they do in early pregnancy. I do remember the walk in doctor saying I shouldn't need bloods since I have had progressively darker tests, but then he gave me the requisition so I figured he changed his mind. I guess they just do hcg to confirm pregnancy here, since I know I'm preg there is no point.

I am gonna be VAGUE with my doc when he asks when I conceived so he will suggest a dating scan haha. (only reason he did last time was because I was trying to explain that I didn't ovulate mid cycle like most people so he wanted to check as dates would otherwise be a week off).

Aww Well, hopeful you can get your dating scan!

 

[PnutProtector]

FX you get your dating scan Black!

 

[Angel5000]

I am having a crazy light AF this cycle. Yesterday I counted as day 1 because I did have to wear a pad, but I was wearing a light pad and when I went to the bathroom on my lunch break (the only time I get to go), it didn't have much on it. Changed it but went almost the ENTIRE rest of the day without really having to change it again. Today I was a little heavier, wore a light tampon but when I changed it on my lunch break (that is 6 hours later!!!!) it wasn't full, maybe a little more than half? Put in another because that's all I had with me and 8 hours later it was almost completely empty, and what little was on it was brown not red.

Yes, I know I shouldn't necessarily wear a tampon for that long, but I forgot about it. Either way, seems oddly light this cycle. :/

 

[todmommy4568]

Pnut- You could test just for fun If it was implantation though you should be able to get an accurate result in a couple days

Black - Fx'ed that your vagueness gets you that dating scan!

Angel - I have no advice but that is odd. Why can't our bodies just act somewhat normal!

Beth - How are things going for you?

Lawes - Hopefully those tests start showing something for you, good sign that the witch hasn't shown up yet

I tested this morning, 6dpo But to my surprise I saw some weird shadow thing somewhere between 3 and 5 minutes. All the dye had passed and the test was clear like it was done. I took a picture and I'm sure most people wouldn't be able to see the line but I can and OH could see it. Although after about 20-30 minutes the line disappeared and dried completely negative. I ordered more tests off of amazon though because now I am sure I will be completely obsessive
