*October Testing Thread*

[Bevziibubble]

Wow Bev huge congratulations! It’s so hard at first but you hit a groove and it truly becomes second nature. I couldn’t imagine living that way now.

Thank you! So true it becomes second nature. I can't imagine living that way now, it was so chaotic and unmanageable, I'm so grateful for all that sobriety has brought me

 

[Bevziibubble]

Very brave Bev!!!! You are around so much to help us in our moments of need while you had your own demons but you fought and won and I guess you fight and win every day so I’m sending you thanks for being our rock and a massive hug stay strong!

Thank you so much! Also battling with an eating disorder too. I don't do things by halves me do I! It's been an awful few years but I've reached out for professional help with the ED and things are finally going in the right direction

@Bevziibubble i was bulimic for a while after I got sober, it’s very common. I feel that- I don’t do anything halfway! It also means when I put my mind to something nothing gets in my way. I just have to channel that energy and not let it own me. You got this, Bev.

Sorry you struggled with bulimia too. I was bulimic for years and years and then it reared it's ugly head again when I got sober. Then I just restricted so much that I became very underweight, so starting the uphill climb now.
That is a very good way of looking at things that the "not doing anything halfway" can help us in our recovery so can actually be a good thing
Thank you so much

Hey everyone,

I just tried to do a quick catchup on everyone and I’m pages and pages behind. Just wanted to pop in and wish you all the best!!

@Bevziibubble and @MrsKatie I also had some very restrictive eating patterns in my late teens and early 20s. I was never diagnosed with an eating disorder, but I was very underweight. Don’t want to mention numbers incase it’s triggering for someone. My relationship with food and especially the control of food was a journey, but now I feel like I’m in a good place.

Dh and I have been looking to buy a house or apartment for a while now and we just had our offer accepted on an apartment so we have been doing mad dashes around to the bank to sort out the mortgage. I’m excited but also terrified as it’s such a big financial commitment.

I am sorry

 

[Mum42crazy]

So I started a November testing thread... if anyone wants to join, but I'll still here to see if we get anymore positives over the next few days

 

[Deethehippy]

I tested 8DPO and BFN. I know it's still early but not really feeling it today...my boobs are still tender but I feel like they are less so which would tie in exactly with the end of the progesterone surge after O.

FTale - how are you hun? wondering about you...

Still early FX

Dee my boobs are off and on sore too, 9dpo. Not sure what's going on!

I got an amazing sleep last night and feel so much better. My husband is still being insecure but hopefully turning a corner. I don't know how to support him.

I caved and tested this am at 9dpo, BFN on a cheapie which is not that surprising. I'm not too sad since it's still early, on a cheapie I didn't get a positive with my daughter until like 13dpo. I have a dollar store 'early result' test I plan to take later today. Not expecting a positive but we shall see. My resting heart rate is up and down, I wish it would keep going up (a sign of pregnancy for me) but I suppose some fluctuations is to be expected, and I am also more relaxed/rested today so it makes sense that it went down a bit.

Not feeling super confident this cycle anymore.

Glad you slept well. I’m only using cheapies for now too but may open up a frer on Friday Morning for 10 DPO. Good luck if you test later on today. I’m not convinced this month either now but you never know, I never suspected any BFP’s I have gotten in the past!

 

[wantingagirl]

Can I just jump in about the baby aspirin. Do not take before bfp as it can thin your lining. I don’t know why doctors advise it I possible lost one taking it all through the cycle it’s a blood thinner so it makes sense

 

[wantingagirl]

Sugger I’m so sorry. I removed all refined sugar from my diet and wen my on progesterone suppositories after ovulation. I swear by this though it’s pricey but I took it within 2 months I was pregnant. It works the same as maca and has ubiquonal in it for egg quality.

Dee it's funny you say that, with my daughter I got a BFN at 9dpo and cried all day because I was sure I was out, and well, obviously I wasn't!

I'm sorry that you have been through it too So glad that you're in a better place now

That's great news you've had the offer accepted on an apartment. I hope all goes smoothly and gets sorted soon

 

[FTale]

How are you doing?

Awww...I am here just doing busy part of the month work. Work from home but homeschooling too so I look all kinds of wacky. Pee stick in one hand, yelling at my dd to quit eating her boogers while my boss is on hold cause I'm checking pee stick differences....lol..I joke but you feel me I hope.

Well I feel like af is coming though my doc told me there is still hope for this cycle since no af till Friday or Sat. But temp floored itself this morning and my tests are wondfo uber faint positives at 11dpo. Trigger prolly. He said we will do the same protocol next cycle and then one more time if needed. And then he has other stuff to do...not even sure what that means.

I on the other hand am blowing on my pee sticks trying to make them dry them into a bfp. Cause I dont want to do iui again....want baby now already. Ugh.

But nothing to do but wait for af to show on Halloween or have a bfp by then

Sorry you are feeling out. But like Alligator said, 9dpo thought she was out, I did the same with my dd and bfp on 10dpo for me.

How are your temps doing?

Hi ladies...I held out until today to test. BFN at 11dpo on a FRER so pretty sure I’m out x

Sorry about the rotten bfn. Big hugs

Hugs. And Congrats on the offer beinng accepted, prayers for everything to go just as you need it. We bought a home right before Covid hit then had to sell old home while social distancing was in place and of course jobs were no longer secure anymore.... rough times but you can do it. Hugs

For your dd pregnancy did you have your O date off or was she a late implanter? Do you remember what hpts you used?


AFM:
My bbs are killing mostly at night and I feel wozy but like Dee said, think progesterone is leaving my body a bit but keeping the faith it can build up again for a lil one.

Love reading everyones post. Feels safe on here. I feel lonely and looney bringing up ttc with anyone in real life. People dont understand the struggle unless you been personally touched by it. Thank you all for being here to lean on.
