Soy Cycle Buddies 2019 <3 1BFP on second soy cycle 2 BFPs Non-soy cycle

[Tesh23]

i also stopped cramping after the first few days. Then it was also more bloating and stabbing pains a few times. Since 8dpo though just mild af cramps yesterday (but could mean af is on the way/ hope not though).

My sister had booked a spa for us today as she is in town for a few days before she flies back to joburg. So hoping that will take my mind off things for a while. I’m totally expecting to see bfn and have already prepared myself with a game plan. If it’s bfp I’m going to relax and test in the evening again. If it’s bfn I’m going to enjoy the spa and maybe go for drinks with dh later.

Feeling really light headed today. I really can’t wait for this tww to be over. If AF is on her way I really hope my body goes back to normal once she arrives. Have a burning sensation all over my arms and body

 

[Tesh23]

So dh is almost back have almost a 5 hour hold and I just feel completely out.

Less bloated boobs just stopped hurting they feel almost back to normal.

I am expecting it to bfn and will just wait for AF to show later this week...

 

[swedengirl]

Don’t lose hope Tesh it’s still early! Those lines yesterday must be for a reason!

 

[Anababe]

Ah Tesh sorry you don’t have a clear answer yet. It’s still early, I’d definitely try a different test and see if anything is showing on that. I was so sure this was your BFP, those lines yesterday can’t all be evaps with colour! Hope you have a lovely day at the spa and your next test shows a bit of a clearer line for you.

I’m really feeling out this cycle now, had backache and cramps on and off all day yesterday and I’ve woke up with really bad backache worse than yesterday and cramps, it’s all just in my right side but it’s going down the top of my leg in my groin area. I’m emotional and irritable this morning, today would have been my due date and I’m feeling really fed up and just not myself today.

My boobs are back to being very sore but I’m not as bloated now as I have been. Just feeling a bit off today, I have had fairly loose bowel movement this morning though (sorry tmi!) so maybe I’m just coming down with something.

 

[swedengirl]

Sorry today is a hard day Anababe. Take care and be kind to yourself today. Allow yourself to hurt and process and take some moments for yourself. Easier said than done with kids I know, but I hope you find even a brief moment. Thinking of you! I’m sorry you feel out. I think they all sound like promising symptoms but you know your body best. I do think we all reach a negative point around this point in our cycles though as we can’t handle the uncertainty anymore so decide we are out!

Tesh- hope you get some more answers with the next test! How nice you’re having a spa day that will hopefully take your mind off the TWW!

 

[Tesh23]

Ladies Im about to read and run but promise to reply soon, just on my way to the spa now.

Photos are both untweaked.

Two pics of the one test I did earlier. Very confusing test but can see a squinter on the 1st week. No idea... thought 10mIU would show something more...

 

[swedengirl]

Tesh I’m sorry but not seeing anything in those tests- but what weird tests!!

I really don’t think you’re out though. You have been getting lines! I’m sorry you’re in limbo but the next few days will give you some answers! I’m still really hopeful for you!

 

[FaithnHope41]

Ana, I am so sorry today has got to be a hard day for you. I hope you can find some peace and joy out of it some how, really hope you get your BFP still. Your symptoms still sound very hopeful. Praying for you hun!

Tesh, I really think you have your bfp, those test may not be as senstive. Can you get your hands on a FRER? Also, maybe test this evening. I've heard a lot of ladies having better luck in the evening versus the morning. And make sure your urine isn't super diluted. Try and just sip on water and then test in a few hours if you can refrain from using the potty.

 

[FaithnHope41]

No not more cramping but definitely bloated and a more pressure/heavy feeling. With DD my chart went triphasic at 8dpo and FF told me that would be when I implanted. The night of 8dpo I got woken by cramping so guessing I’ll implant around the same time if I’m going to. The cramping then continued from that point on.As I said before though I’m certain my chart was ahead by one day so think it was actually 7dpo.

Excited to see the next test!

When do you plan to test hun?!

 

[swedengirl]

When do you plan to test hun?!

I’m 8dpo on Weds and determined not to test until at least then!

 

[Tesh23]

Ana I’m really sorry you’re feeling so down... hang in there tomorrow is another day and it will be better. Sometimes we need to just have that day to process and let it all just be. I have also been emotional, snappy and on edge today and I feel bad, so I know what you mean. I really hope AF stays away for you but IF she does come it will be ok and you can try again.

Being at the spa today helped me to think a bit better without all these tests around. If AF does come for me I’m going to remain positive and go onto putting everything into the next cycle. It is what it is. We try and we fail, but it’s all eventually going to lead to something wonderful.

I’ve got a 6 and a half hour hold and only drank about 100ml/ 4 ounces of liquid all day. So I may actually be dehydrated! Lol hope I manage to get some wee out. I got another blue dye test. Faith we don’t get FRER in SA and amazon doesn’t deliver FRER here either

Sweden I see a very faint but definite line on the Weird test which I noticed at about 2-3mins. It really is a weird one! Don’t fancy it at all but apparently it is 10mIU on the first band, 25miu on the second band and 50miu on the third. Or something like that!

Well I got my positive withs ds on the evening of 10dpo. If that’s not the case when I do this next test just now I’m going to wait for AF and come to terms with it in these next couple of days before she arrives.

Sweden I think waiting until at least 8dpo is an excellent idea esp since you’ve got those 5miu’s!! Exciting to see those!

Will update in a bit xx

 

[swedengirl]

Fx for next test Tesh!!

I’m also super excited to try out these new tests!! Tomorrow I’m testing tomorrow!!! Can’t wait to start peeing on things!

 

[Anababe]

Thanks ladies! I’m feeling a little better now just had a bit of a rubbish morning, think with it being Mother’s Day yesterday aswel just made me feel a bit down.

Instead of feeling like af is on her way maybe need to look at it from the other way and think it could actually be good signs and not necessarily af! My sore boobs have stepped up a gear today and I’m having some real sharp stabling/burning pains in them which isn’t normal for me, still having on off pulling/stabbing pains in my lower pelvic area and back.

My cm is confusing me a lot at the moment it’s usually just creamy right through to af but I’ve had on and off days of snotty cm, like ewcm but mixed with creamy/watery. Can’t make its mind up haha! I’m assuming it’s the soy making it a bit different this cycle.

Going to do a frer tomorrow morning I’ll be 12dpo!

Tesh looking forward to seeing your next test, glad you had a nice day. It’s good to just have a day away from thinking about TTC and testing.

Yay Sweden for testing tomorrow! Can’t wait to see your tests!

 

[Tesh23]

Lol @Sweden! Yay break in those tests tomorrow!!

Ana my cm is EXACTLY the same and has been like that for 3 says now. It’s creamy but watery with yellow globs of ewcm in. My boobs are starting to hurt again but it’s very off and on.

Ok so here’s my 6pm test. Had to try and hide away and test as it at my folks house lol and I couldn’t wait until I got home. Forgive the lighting, seems there’s is worse than mine! Lol

There’s only a hint of a shadow on the blue one so not getting my hopes up as it seems like zero progression.

I’ve attached the 10mIU from earlier that’s now dried and there’s still pink colour in it. I noticed pink in it earlier as well but you can see it more now. I don’t really see the lines under the ‘2’ or ‘3’ so can it be an evap?

 

[swedengirl]

Reading and running quickly! But it’s totally on that bottom test under the 1, but not the others! I really hope you get some progression soon to get you at if limbo as 3 brands have given you lines, so it can’t be something wrong with the tests!!

 

[Anababe]

Tesh I can just about see the shadow on the blue one, but can def see the other one and looks to have colour. I even saved it to tweak and invert and there’s no doubting there’s a line there! Hope you get some progression very soon! (sorry for stealing and tweaking your test, keeps me busy while I have none of my own haha!)

 

[FaithnHope41]

I also see the line very noticeably!! Blue tests I never had luck with even after getting my positive on other pink dye tests and digitals. I just don't think they are quite as strong. That stinks that you can't get FRERs! But I still have so much faith in you girl! The pink test has a very obvious line and when Ana inverted it, it was even more noticeable!!

So the nausea has officially hit me and hard. Been nauseous now for three days straight. Eating helps, but man getting myself to do so is difficult at the moment. I wish I could just go home and lay down tonight, but hubby has to work his second job, so I will be getting dinner cooked and kids bathed and ready for bed. Hopefully it subsides before then. Definitely struggling today.

 

[Anababe]

Aww sorry your feeling the sickness now Faith. I feel for you I had it bad with all mine, I was hospitalised with 2 of them. I know how hard it is when you have little ones to look after, have to try rest when you can. Hope you feel better soon, but sickness is a very good sign of a healthy pregnancy so guess that makes it worth it!

 

[swedengirl]

Awhh poor you Faith! I also struggled badly with it with DD and needed to get IV fluids a couple of times!
I found sorbet helped me a lot- lemon or mango! Weirdly carbonated water too. It’s so weird with morning sickness (a name I hate as it does not disappear at any point in the day) that you feel nauseous so don’t want to eat but then get nauseous because you’re hungry!
It’s a great sign though! Shows those hormones are getting stronger!

 

[Tesh23]

Ok so last one for today because I have no self control lol.

It’s another 20miu and saw the line appear by about a minute...

Bottom one is the blue test after a couple hours.

I’m just wondering... it’s been 3 days now of very faint lines... surely it should be darker by now if it was something? Or are they all just evaps?

Thanks for tweaking Ana I totally don’t mind at all. I actually see it picking up a bit of the number ‘2’ line too!

Faith the blue ones are usually my go to’s only because I got my bfp at 10dpo on it with ds. Ah... I’m sorry the nausea had got you! At least you know you’ve got a healthy and thriving baba in there. But def try some ginger! It really helped me with my nausea with ds. Hope it passes quickly for you

Hopefully tomorrow brings some answers!
