Here are my ICs, not a very great progression but I am trying to tell myself it's early!

Hi! Can I join? I am due September 13!

This was our fifth cycle of trying. I had a chemical pregnancy lost at 4w + 4 days in early October. I got my BFP at 9 DPO. I was trying to hold off on testing but my temp had dropped so I tested and saw my BFP!

I am so excited and trying to be cautiously optimistic. With my CP I never got excited and somehow almost knew it wouldn't stick. This time I got excited right away and have a great feeling about it! My FRERs are showing a nice progression which is good. MY ICs aren't getting very much darker but I am trying not to let that bother me.

FRERs:

So far my symptoms are sore boobs, gassy, and super itchy nose and sneezy!

Congratulations! I'll add you to the list.. fingers crossed for a sticky bean! I wouldn't worry about the ICs x

i wouldnt worry about the IC's either, the FRER look amazing! how do the IC's look now that they are dry? its is so odd that pee could make the FRER so dark and the IC so light,,,, thats why I wouldnt worry!

Congrats to all the new BFPs!!

darkriver - thinking of you.. are you going to test again with a different brand?

twinklie - looks good! And I'll just say that I didn't get dark lines on the wondfos until like, 5 weeks pregnant. They just don't make them like the used to lol - with my first pregnancy (2011) the wondfos were dark at 11 dpo and got darker quickly; not this time! Even when my betas were in the hundreds, they were still light on the wondfos, while the FRERs got super dark and started stealing the control line dye by around 15 dpo.

ashleyg - so sorry to hear about your mother during my pregnancy with my son, my father passed away when I was around 9 weeks. It is hard not having them here to share with.

and thanks again to bananabump for running this group!!

AFM, just got my last beta and it was high! over 19000 at 23 dpo. Little bit worried about possibility of twins (worried is not the right word, but you guys know what I mean!). But I think my numbers would have been about the same with my son so I'm thinking maybe just I just produce a lot of HCG once I get going. It went from 869 at 16 dpo to 19000 at 23 dpo, so I think doubling around every 37 hours.

I have an ultrasound scheduled for next week, 1/9, when I think I will be 6+4. They want to get dating and everything because I'm coming off an early miscarriage. I was charting and all so I'm pretty confident of my dates, but they of course want to be sure!

Hope you all are well! I have been feeling like poop most of the time, but oh well!

I told twinklie the same thing... with my first also in 2011 my wondfos progressed nicely, but this time they just arent. its like they are stale and old. No worries now that youre pregnant though twinklie, id just stick with the FRER from now on. Or if you feel the need to keep testing I hear Dollar Store ones are good

 

[qwk]

yeah it's like they got even cheaper over the past two years!! They are different from in 2011, I remember my 2011 ones had totally pink handles, not with the tiny "HCG" printed on the handles like they do now.

Hi ladies, would u recommend taking a CBD tomorrow. My period was due on tues and have had 2 positives on frer tests but none darker than the control line. The last time I tested was Tuesday morning tho x

 

[bananabump]

I did my cbd when the line was still fainter than the control line.. I think I was about 16/17dpo so yeh definitely do it in the morning

 

[PrincessTaz]

I really hope my cbd arrives tomorrow, was expecting it today but postman never came. I love comparing lines but nothing beats seeing the words pregnant

Yep that's so true! Made it seem more real

Midwife has just rang (bit random at 8.30pm!) and she's coming out on Tuesday for my booking in appointment Yay xx

 

[Twinklie12]

I took a digi with SMU..... Yay! You can also see my ICs in the background. My SMU IC was darker this am.

I took a digital before my missed period, but the kind with the weeks predictor, and that worked. If you just get the pregnant/ not pregnant kind it is less sensitive so maybe wait a day or two, just to avoid seeing a false BFN.

 

[Jokerette]

I agree with Twinklie. I believe the weeks indicator ones are sensitive to
25miu and the regular CBD are 50miu

 

[ashleyg]

I took a regular digi, (not one with he weeks) today which is about a week before my period is due and I got a Pregnant result. And I'm about 8dpo

 

[Ambermichelle]

I got a positive reading on a regular CB digital (the one without the weeks) at 13 DPO

 

[Rcx]

I'm going to get one today, I'm 4 days late now so hoping I will see a pregnant!! I've had two strong positives on frer just something about seeing 'pregnant' will put my mind at ease!

Can I join you? My due date is 2nd September!

Bebvern - Congratulations, we have the same edd

Midwife called yesterday and she'll be coming to my house next Thursday to do my booking in appointment. She also told me as I have moved out of their catchment area I'll need to find a gp which will mean a new midwife! I'm a bit gutted because she was my midwife was ds too and I really like her.

Also my cbd didn't arrive toady so that was annoying, at least I have more chance to see 3+ the longer it takes.
