Cupcake - sorry I hope you get your BFP next month. I agree with the Doctor idea though, two annovulatoy cycles that close seems abnormal.

Todmommy - woohoo!!!! I love the solid smiley face! I think I have 7 Wondfo tests left and maybe 1 FRER. Don't want to buy more so I'm trying to ration them. lol.

AFM - pretty large dip today but still well above cover line and it's even still high in comparison to previous months post-O temps. Trying to keep from getting too obsessive but I can't help but wonder if it's a dip taut could indicate implantation.... Or, logically, it could just mean I'm finally getting over my cold.

Todmommy: I would say those are positive tests. Should see a temp rise and cross hairs soon!

Blackrain: I see the line, fx'd it gets darker for you. Can't wait to see how the FRER looks.

Angel: That sounds promising, the cycles that I got bfp I had extremely bad boob pain, definitely a good sign.

AFM: crosshairs for me this morning, that makes it 3dpo. I'm more relaxed this cycle for sure I'm just hoping me not stressing so much turns out to be a good thing. We'll see.

Beth I am going to need some of that pee stick porn from you if I recall last month I totally saw your first line before you did hahaha. Glad you are having a date night and some time to relax! Your chart is looking awesome!!

Angel I say we just obsess and call it implantation! I have a raging cold, think it might be a sinus infection actually, and it hasn't affected my temps at all. My cold last month didn't either.

Ob yay for crosshairs!

Yay for that solid smiley, todmommy!

And thanks ladies i changed tampons about an hour ago, and there wasn't a whole lot on the tampon and no fresh blood either, just more of dark brown.. i'm still assuming it's my period starting, just not 100% sure anymore...
And regarding the doctor, thing is i can't really prove that the june cycle was anovulatory, i wasn't temping then yet. So i doubt they'll do anything yet as we're only now on our 4th cycle TTCing and I'm so young. If i have another anovulatory cycle though before i get pregnant i'll definitely make an appointment.. i just hope it won't take many more cycles

Here you are ladies! A little concerned that the wondfo isn't getting a lot darker but I guess it's only been 36 hours since the first positive so hcg hasn't even doubled yet. But such a pretty FRER

 

[todmommy4568]

OMG that FRER is amazing!!!! I'm so excited!! And IC's aren't supposed to be reliable for progression anyhow. I would say an FRER would be much more accurate for progression.

 

[Blackrain90]

Haha wish I had gotten another line FRER now instead of the digi lol, oh well. Just gonna hold off on that one until Monday.

 

[cscbeth8421]

Congrats black! Yahoo!!!!!!

 

[Blackrain90]

And YAY for your OPK Todmommy I'm so excited for you!!!

 

[lvksa]

Wowww look at that test! That's awesome 😍

 

[cupcake.]

Such a pretty line!! don't worry about the IC progression, like you said it's only been 36 hours. But look at that frer, huge congrats again

 

[Angel5000]

todmommy Okay, obsess it is. Generally if I get sick and it is going to affect my temp it is going to make my temp go down, not up. When I'm really sick (flu type sick) my temperature will drop into the low 97s or mid-96s sometimes, rather than spike a fever like "normal" people. I was just trying not to be too optimistic this cycle. But, with the appearance of increasing boob pain over the course of yesterday, I'm getting more optimistic.

Black OMG!!! That is the most beautiful FRER!!! I can SEEEEEEE the gorgeous line!!!!!! This is so amazing!!!! Don't stress about the Wondfo not getting darker, when I read reviews a LOT of women said that their Wondfo's did not get darker for a long time, even though the FRER's did. What I took it to mean is that the Wondfo's will pick it up quickly but will not necessarily darken as quickly.

I find it incredibly humorous that I can CLEARLY see the FRER line, but the Wondfo line still has me squinting going "is there really something there". I don't think my eyes were meant to read the small ICs. Not cool....cuz that's all I have for myself

 

[AngelOb]

Blackrain that FRER is beautiful I'm so so so excited for you!!!

Black's BFP FRER made me want to test, so I did.

Clearly a BFN, but at 7DPO that's what I expected.

I'll upload a pic later, I'm on computer atm, and don't feel like emailing pic to myself to upload just yet (haven't had my coffee yet).

I have a couple questions though, so anyone's thoughts:

1) For people who use Wondfo's I have a Q: have you had trouble with your tests where you dip the test, it starts to absorb like it should but then it never actually gets past the end of the absorbing bit? As in the color never starts to spread across the stick? I've had several Wondfo tests in this batch (both OPKs and HPTs) that have done this (one was today which is annoying because I only had a handful left and I wasted one for that, so now I'm down to 4). I'm wondering if I got a poorly made batch?

2) Related to Vitex! Last week I realized my Vitex was about out, and so I ordered another batch from Amazon. I use Gaia brand and I like it so I have to order it because that brand I can't find around here. I thought it said arrival by this weekend, but when I just checked it said it isn't even shipping until Monday (the 5th), so probably arriving Wednesday. It qualifies as Prime, which is why I'm really irritated because I should have had it within 2 days of the order. My concern: I'm out of Vitex as of today. could it be harmful if I don't have any for the next few days while I wait?

Should I pick up another brand that I can get at the store and use until then? Will that cause a problem? Does anyone know?

Thanks ladies I am still in disbelief, I was so sure I was out this month.

Do you think it's normal that I'm still getting a bit of brown in my discharge (still only when I check)?

I don't think there's much to worry about. If that becomes bright red, I would be a little concerned, or if it starts to show more than just when you check. I'd assume that brown is probably left from implantation and is old blood.

I have heard not to stop vitex after a BFP so I would think that would also mean during implantation time, since it affects progesterone levels. I personally would suggest getting some from the store.

Wondfos- this is the first cycle I noticed this on a couple tests as well but the rest in the batch were fine. Maybe reabsorb for a few more seconds? Mine eventually spread after I did that.

That's what I Thought, maybe I'll pick up some other brand of vitex at the store for now while I wait for my shipment. Super irritated right now.

I tried the reabsorb today, but didn't work. Next time I order some maybe it'll be better. The price is so good that having a few bad ones isn't awful, just annoying when it happens and I'm down to the last few. Of course, if this month doesn't take then I've got a few months off so we'll see what happens. I just found it so odd.

I would recommend nature's way brand
