September Snugglers 2016

Ladies I'm freaking out a little, my tests don't look darker?? Top is 19 DPO, bottom is today at 23 DPO??

I think you're going to struggle to get it much darker! I also found the tests have different amount of dyes. I used to tests from the same pack, with the same sample, and got 2 different strength lines. This is why ive stopped testing, it causes too much worry! X

 

[xanzaba]

Campn, not sure if they get any darker than that, hun! Maybe time for a weeks estimator?

 

[MummaMoo]

Stop testing now Campn, it's a lovely positive, might not necessarily get any darker.

 

[campn]

Phew! Thank you ladies. I seriously started thinking the worst. I had one test left so I thought I'd just take it! Ahhh why do I do this to myself!

 

[mari35racz36]

campn - I agree with the other ladies, stop testing. It is not going to ge much darker than that. if you test after 6 weeks the line may start to get lighter becasue your HCG is so high. But i know the feeling!! I tested like crazy before.lol

 

[DecemberWait]

Definitely stop testing campn At some point the line simply won't get darker - and in fact will get lighter due to the hook effect. That is a FANTASTIC line - you are definitely pregnant remember as well that pregnancy tests are not quantitative but qualitative and lines can vary day to day, and even within a day. I am not one to say "stop testing" I am still testing at 18dpo right now, lol, I haven't beaten the control quite yet and I am saving my weeks estimator to get that 3+ weeks and then I *swear* I will stop.

 

[campn]

Haha we need an intervention! I still have a week estimator that I'm waiting to use, same reason I'm waiting, I don't want to panic over absolutely nothing.

Thank you so much ladies, I feel so much better now.

Campn it looks like ur using the diff versions of frer too? The new one has red letters instead of black. Anyway I've noticed that different versions use diff amount of dyes so it's really hard to see progression like that. I also took progression for 17-19 dpo and didn't see much difference as both test lines are already dark like yours. So I'm going to stop poas as well

Beautiful scans and lines! September is going to be a great month!

AFM: Hooray for 6 weeks! Still no sign of MS. Keeping my fingers crossed. Last night I woke up at midnight to pee...woke up twice more but rolled over and fell back asleep and slept in until 7 am!!! DH was so happy haha. Today will be a great day !

 

[mrs unicorn]

campn those lines look great! I guess they can only get so dark. I've stopped testing as of yesterday, but only because I haven't got any left! But I won't be buying any more either. We can stress ourselves out with so many things, we just need to relax and enjoy it (before we start to feel really rough anyway!). It's going to be a long journey and I don't want to spend it worrying about everything! x

 

[hopie2015]

Mari- best of luck at your appt. today, I'm sure it will be great!
And you're welcome! Seriously- it is so great having your wisdom on here to share with us first timers. I'm in awe how you function so well each day thru ms with your little ones!

Congrats on the 6 week mark!
Yes- the dreams are crazy. Like going back into a time machine every night. Keep dreaming I am on old dates that actually happened with my ex boyfriends- dates I forgot completely about. Weird.

Mumma - I do agree with you! And yes, men do have major strengths in other areas. I am amazed the strength of women and all we go through. I was on another message board (the bump) and the girls were going off on each other, criticizing, putting each other down for asking 'stupid' questions. I was like really? Women treating each other this mean way when we are all going through this together. Just unreal to me.
I was soo happy to have found this board. Everyone is so nice and supportive.

Well I have to go back to the hospital. Vomiting is so severe and I was up most of the night with bad pains. Not just af type cramps, so I am not sure whats going on. Most of all I need ivs of fluid as I feel so dehydrated. OH wants to take me now but I told him to stay at work for the day and we'll go tonight. Fun, fun!

Emma my fave apps are pregnancy+ and ovia, I have what to expect, baby centre and the bump but not so keen on these. I guess it depends what you're after. I love the pictures and day by day development so pregnancy+ and ovia are good for that. Sorry your being sick already! I've only had the odd nauseous day so far. But the fatigue is starting now.

Mrs Unicorn - I dont mind ovia i think i will stick with it. Tried the pregnancy+ and i like the pics too! Its more like heartburn today, fc yesterday was a freak day!

Campn - that looks really dark - maybe cant get any darker? Im still testing too! But im behind all of you so yet to trust myself not too untill a few weeks yet i rekon! My tests r getting darker - had the first one that was darker than the control this evening

6weeks 1 day.. hello nausea! I'm hoping this is all I have to deal with at not the sickness.
Campn you can definitely stop now lovely. Those are beauts of lines x

 

[psychochick]

leson: congrats on 6 weeks! Btw, how do you all you ladies count the weeks: using last day of AF or day of O? For me they are two slightly different days.

hopie: ouch I can imagine vomiting is stressful for your entire digestive system, so it would definitely cause pain. I really hope you find relief from it soon.

leson: congrats on 6 weeks! Btw, how do you all you ladies count the weeks: using last day of AF or day of O? For me they are two slightly different days.

I go by rough date of ovulation. My cycles are roughly 38days long so I take a week away from last af.

 

[lesondemavie]

I'm going by first day of LMP. I O on CD12 so that's just 2 days off from average. I figure the doctors probably will continue to go off of LMP if everything measures about right at the first scan. I think others were saying they only change it if there's a week difference. I'd like to think I'm two days further along, but big picture it shouldn't matter much .

 

[mari35racz36]

Hope - sorry to hear about the bad vomiting and pains. You are right, you do need to go back to the hospital tonight. So sorry you are suffering so much

Sorry to all the other ladies suffering from nausea as well. I can't wait to not feel sick anymore!

I had my prenatal today and all is good. My doc is setting up all the paperwork for the hospital i will deliver at. I had my weight, blood pressure and urine checked. All was normal. She also felt my belly and she said everything looked good. I have my next prenatal booked for Feb 22. My first scan is Feb 24. So exciting

I'm sorry ladies... Is it bad that all I want to do is leave work now so that I can fart in peace? It keeps getting trapped and makes my tummy hurt even worse, but I cant very well let it go in public!!

UGH!!!

 

[xanzaba]

Just1- I concur! Yesterday we went out for lunch before my appointment and I was very concerned doing a trans-v ultrasound! Fortunately, I went to the restroom before and was okay during the appointment, but for a while it was touch and go!

Same! It's terrible! I'm on a restricted diet because of my nursing son & im eating a lot of beans. Doesn't help!
