Poasa here! #411 frer from this evening #412 FINAL FINAL UPDATE!

[mindyb85]

thanks ladies I really hope so
I did something I shouldn't have, I adjusted my temps based on time (that's why i think my o date was soooo off)
it looks much more clear now, and it looks like I'm only 11 dpo so still plenty of time to get that bfp, I'm REALLY hoping so
I think I'm going to wait for a few days
took an opk this morning (again nearly positive)
temp went up again, i feel like i have a mild head cold or something, just a little stuffy nose and scratchy throat
ic was bfn and i took frer with smu which also looked bfn but I am just going to keep up my pma and give the testing a rest for a few days and HOPEFULLY see a BFP : )

good luck!
Your temp went up nicely this morning.. hopefully thats a BFP rise, or heck, it might be O-related? Most of your Post-O temps on the current chart aren't much higher than the pre-O temps, but this latest shift indicates a definite improvement!
Its POSSIBLE you are only 2dpo
(though the spotting around your current O date does seem to indicate possible ovulation I think?)

good luck honey hope you get your bpf xxx

 

[mindyb85]

thank you ladies!!!
I hope so too : )

 

[mindyb85]

another evap
man I think frer's are getting as bad as Ic's lol

taken after time limit
bottom one is from today
middle one is from yesterday afternoon
and top is from fmu from 2 days ago

*take that back, IC evap's are much worse
this is from fmu on top
the bottom is from about 40 mins ago (dilute)

 

[mindyb85]

EXCITING
I think I am really only 11 dpo
my good friend who is a certified fertility specialists and looks at these charts for a living helped me fix mine and interpret it correctly and she says she is pretty sure I did in fact O on day 33
take a look
I'm sooo happy i got some help!

i took this opk tonight (at 830pm) and it looks like its getting darker
i hope this is a good sign
the one on top is from this afternoon at 3pm

 

[PrayinForBaby]

they may not be evaps! they could just be reallly early bfp's! I'm giving you good thoughts and dust!

 

[mindyb85]

thank you prayinforbaby!!!
I hope so but only time will tell, it does seem to be quite a bit of evaps and the frer tests from before those had no evap mark just the antibody strip indentation

 

[mindyb85]

ok 12 dpo today, temp had a drop bit still high so thats good
i took another opk ( i really shouldn't be wasting them but I figured if i got a definite + then I would take an hpt)
haha yeah right
It wasn't positive but I took an hpt anyways and I think I see something faint and pink but not sure if its going up the whole strip,
you'll see what I mean
dodgy test ladies?

the pics with 5 tests on them (top ones are opk progression) and bottom two are hpt progression with yesterday fmu and today fmu
the pics with two tests are hpt (again top is yesterday's fmu and bottom is todays fmu)
oh and sorry for the two tweaked ones, I saved one of them wrong and lost the original...whoops

 

[Shey]

OPKs looking good and hoping that you get your soon

 

[mindyb85]

thanks shey!!!
how have you been?

 

[Shey]

im ok! just hoping to find the right guy for me

 

[mindyb85]

you will, just keep your mind and your heart open
If I didn't do that, I probably wouldn't be with dh because I would have never looked twice at him to begin with lol
but I'm sure glad I did now
you never know what's around the corner

the only time I get "evaps" with FRER is AFTER the time limit like yours are doing. That is why you are not suppose to read them after the time limit. I know you know that I am just saying I DON'T think FRER are getting as bad as IC as they (to my knowledge) do not give evaps within time limits and don't show a shadow within time limit like the IC's do. I hope you are infact pregnant but I just have to tell you my story because I got VERY excited this month....
I see on here where girls use OPK's for Preg test or to see if they get a positive because that could mean that they are pregnant...well I had bought some OPK's(digital because I hate decifering if that little line is the same color or not so happyface or no happyface is easier for me LOL!) anyway did an OPK and the line was pretty dark but negative. Still didn't start my period (wasn't late yet it was due the next day) so the day my period was due I decided to take another OPK and got a POSITIVE/HAPPY FACE! I thought "really" wow I better go get a HPT. I was so excited and before I could make it to the store for the HPT...BAM my period right on track . I guess I get a pretty big LH surge before my period too. I do know women surge before AF but didn't think it was full blown surge I guess I just learned a little more about my body. With that being said I do NOT have PCOS and it is comepletly different for you! Good Luck and I hope these almost + OPK's mean that you did infact catch that eggy! You have been thru a lot and hope this is it for you! Good Luck and keep POAS I love seeing your pics even if I don't always respond!

 

[mindyb85]

thank you sweet_alida for your post
I'm sorry about your opk's giving you false hope
you are right, I'm going to stop using my opk's as a possible pregnancy indicator
b/c if I'm not pregnant, I want to keep some around for next cycle : )
I'm just really hoping to get something on an ic (more than what I saw today) for me to take another frer and only look at it within the time limit
It's just been a hard two years and I'm so ready to be pg and have our first bubba : )

 

[charmed]

hi looking good hun, just a small thought if opk is postive ish and your temps dropped today, you could have just ovulated either again or late and the others where attempts but didnt happen maybe? just a though.... but still looking good for ya
keep us posted as always hun xxxx

 

[PrayinForBaby]

just throwin it in there, my OPK's picked up my pregnancy from 4dpo on and my hpt didnt turn positive until 23dpo. So the OPK was a pretty good indicator for me!

 

[lisaf]

Not sure if I told you but I did get a line after the time limit on my IC and my blood test that day did indicate I was pregnant, just below the official threshhold for that test.

However, I have never gotten an evap on a test, even 24 hours after the time limit (I used to joke that they must not be putting the test line on there, my tests were so impossibly white). Some people as well as some brands are more prone to them.
In fact, I justified my poas habit by starting early and saying it was to make sure this batch doesn't give me evaps

However, when I DID get that line after the time limit.. it was only 5 minutes after the time limit and the very next day the line came up within the limit. (Similar thing happened to a friend of mine.. hers was negative within the limit... her husband saw a line though within an hour... she took another test that night and it was clearly positive)
So, the reason why I've been hesitant to call your lines BFPs is that they just haven't been getting darker each day, you know?

 

[mindyb85]

yes i know they are probably just really bad evaps and I understand that
however I got home around 3 and hadn't pee'd all day so i had to poas LOL
anyways I could have sworn something sOOOOOO faint but there and pink came on my IC WITHIN THE LIMIT

Of Course I jumped right away to frer and think I see the faintest line

so the pics of ics are at 5 min
the frer is at three mins
(the recommended time to look for both test hehe)

keeping everything crossed
too bad I'm out of frer's now whoops
