Flueky - I'm trying to hold out until next Sunday at 11DPO

 

[Flueky88]

A week from testing now. 11dpo is a good day to start. Early enough that bfp is likely but not too late to lose hope if bfn.

 

[LadyVictoria]

Yes! With the way time is flying, I know it will be here in no time, but I can't help but notice every little change and symptom. I logically know that it's too early for anything to be going on but I just can't help it!

Hey ladies,

So, the party went pretty well. The rain held off, lots of people showed up, Alex got moderately spoiled, and I didn't drop any of the cakes.

Just stay strong, LadyV. It'll be Sunday soon enough.

According to my fitbit app, I should be like 4 days into my period, but I'm not. I initially told it I had a 31 day cycle, but that was just a vague estimate. I've heard extra body fat can make a woman's cycle longer, so maybe it's more like 35 days or something. If nothing shows up in the next few days, I may take a test this weekend too.

 

[Flueky88]

Pretty I absolutley love the cupcakes, cakes, and his outfit!!

My cycles after V were usually about every 32 days. While ttc her and once I regulated post bcp mine were 36 to 39 days.

LadyV 4 more days

 

[LadyVictoria]

Pretty - I'm glad everything went well! Love the pictures! Too cute Maybe we can POAS this weekend

Flueky - I'm hanging in there! It's *kinda* getting easier now that it's getting closer, surprisingly. How are you doing?

 

[Flueky88]

LadyV 3 more days til testing!!

I'm okay. Having mild nausea, but the fatigue is rough! I had my appt and all went well

 

[LadyVictoria]

Flueky - I'm glad to hear your appointment went well! I hope your nausea stays mild and manageable. That's one thing that worries me because when school is in session, I meet with students all day and do presentations, and I'm teaching my first class this fall.

And yes, I'm nearing the home stretch. I've never been so excited for a Sunday morning, seeing as the weekends go by quickly enough.

 

[Flueky88]

LadyV you will manage one way or another. There is medicine your dr can prescribe too. I like drinking sprite and eating saltines or something sour when I feel nauseated.

Haha so true it's strange to wish Saturdays away.

 

[LadyVictoria]

Flueky - That is true. My mom's friend's daugher-in-law (say that 5 times fast!) is pregnant and suffering from hypermesis gravidarum and I feel so bad for her. She has to get IV fluids regularly now because she can't keep anything down. I won't wish my weekend away! I'm actually spending time with my mom and youngest sister on Saturday so that will be nice. And potentially more car shopping with my husband, which I hate. He helped me a lot when I was looking for mine last year so I can't bail on him. Do you have any fun weekend plans?

 

[Flueky88]

Yes thankfully I escaped hg with V. My ms stopped by 13 weeks too. We've had patient's with it that we gave IV fluids to in the home.

Hope you have fun with ypur family and car shopping isn't too painful.

We are going to a small comic convention and then having dinner with our parents at our house. We are going to do our reveal then.

 

[LadyVictoria]

How exciting for you! All of my excitement about this weekend is gone. Hubby took a tumble (our dog scurried under his feet while they were coming upstairs last night) and we spent all night in the ER. One broken wrist and a fractured elbow later (different arms), I’m exhausted and overwhelmed. Not how I envisioned the weekend going at all. The arm with the broken wrist is in a cast and his fractured elbow is in a sling. He can’t do anything himself. I’ve fed him, helped him use the bathroom, and will have to help him shower. Please send some strength my way!

 

[Flueky88]

Oh I hate that for your husband. Hope he heals quickly. Sorry you have this extra load on you as well.

 

[LadyVictoria]

Flueky - Thank you! I hope he heals quickly too but I don't want him to rush it and push himself too soon either.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

LadyV- So sorry to hear about your husband. Wishing him a speedy recovery. And sorry that it's put kind of a damper on the weekend. Are you still planning to test on Sunday?

Flueky - Glad to hear your appt went well.

Afm, because I'm impatient and have a 25 pack of those Easy@Home pregnancy test strips, I took one on Wednesday and it seemed to be negative. I kept it and looked at it later and thought I might have seen something. I ended up taking another test on Thursday after work and Friday morning and both seem to be negative too. So, it may have just been an evap line. I can still POAS with you, LadyV, but I'm not holding my breath for a BFP. It's now been 32 days since my last period and BD and I DTD again last night with an expired condom again. So, we'll see if there's any news in a couple weeks. Also gotta find some time to talk to him about moving in together and baby #2.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[LadyVictoria]

Pretty - Thanks, the past day or so has been rough. I actually did an Easy@Home with FMU this morning just to see if I'd get anything and it looked stark white. I felt some cramping yesterday but that could have been gas... I guess I just don't want to get my hopes up either. And honestly, with him needing more help and me doing all of the work around the house, I'd totally be okay with not being pregnant right now lol I could have implanted late though so I'm not counting myself out until I get my period. Good luck to you! That's an important conversation to have.

 

[Flueky88]

LadyV have you tested today??

If AF arrives you might be sonewhat relieved as with the extra care your DH needs it would be tough being pregnant though not impossible.

When do they think he'll ve out of the sling abd cast??

Pretty sometimes you just have to POAS!!

Looking forward to updates about discussions with BD .

I hope everyone is doing well. It's been a long time since we've heard from you Miss.

 

[LadyVictoria]

Flueky - Yes, 2 more BFNs on the FRER and easy@home. No period. It's a bit disheartening so I don't plan to test again unless I miss my period tomorrow.

As for my husband, they said 2 weeks for the elbow and I hope we will find out if he needs surgery or not tomorrow. They made it sound like he definitely would when they were fixing him up the other night, but we will see.
I too wonder what Miss has been up to.

Pretty - I've been reading up on the easy@home HCG strips and it seems like the FRERs are more sensitive so you might want to keep that in mind! Unfortunately, the results on both of mine have been negative up to now.

 

[Flueky88]

LadyV sorry. Even if it's bad timing thise bfns can be soul crushing. Just remember every cycle brings you closer to your bfp

If they were so sure he needed surgery you would think they'd have done it then.

Recommendations on testing. ICs are good if you want to test just a little early like 11 to 13dpo, imo. A frer at 9 or 10dpo s okay. However, I can't afford buying frer for several cycles so I'd usually test like 11dpo on IC and if I thought I saw something, then use a frer. Obviously, do what you want but it was much cheaper option. I actually got to where I wouldn't test until late when ttc #1 too many bfns.

Also, I got a super squinter on IC at 10dpo with fmu. I wouldn't count yourself out though if no squinter at 10dpo. They say most common implant day is 9dpo so I just implanted early.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

I googled what FRER was, but I can't find what IC means. lol

I have no idea when I ovulated though. I've only had one period since I gave birth and I had been on BC for many months before getting pg. So, I dunno how many days my normal cycle is. :S My test this morning was BFN, as I expected, so I guess I'll just keep waiting for AF or swollen, tender boobs. lol

Haven't talked to BD yet. Gonna try and wait til Alex is asleep tonight, so we're not distracted.
