Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[Megamegan]

Mary... holy high temp!! Happy birthday! Wish it was time for you to test

Kenna, I totally think this is it for you and you're just not getting good lines with FMU. Did you use an FRER after all? Or are you waiting a couple days for that? We will wait... impatiently... hehehe

AFM, I think maybe I already O'd! I didn't take OPKs until yesterday for some reason- I was soooo busy and not in the house for all of CD11 and CD12, so I think I would have seen a positive on CD12, because yesterday (CD13) in the AM it was super dark but not exactly positive, then by night time it was light and today it's light. I did feel occasional pinches and stuff in my abdomen yesterday, but it did not feel like the pain I usually get for O... so that makes me wonder if there was "stuff" in the way in my tubes and that's why I felt such strong O pain and now that I've had the HSG it won't be so strong? I kind of liked having that "super power" of feeling ovulation (well not super power in here, but everyone IRL seems impressed hahaha) but if it was part of the reason I wasn't getting knocked up, then I'll take pain-free O! It's not like my O varies so much that the O pain matters significantly... I always have O'd between CD13-15... so I think I'll probably see a higher temp tomorrow but my suspicion is that yesterday was O. That means, testing ON Father's Day (AF due!). Yay. DTD lots, so hopefully it works this time!

Woo!!!! I have everything crossed, Megan!!!! FX you get your Father's Day BFP!!!!!!!!!!

And, I will get a FRER on 13 dpo if no temp drop. And, I have also decided that if AF does not arrive by 16 dpo, I am going to get some bloodwork done, before asking the doc to help jump start AF.

 

[Megamegan]

That's a great idea, Kenna. It is better to wait anyway and get an obvious line and not be worried for 3 straight days while you wonder if it will get darker.

I just realized DH's SA is on the 13th, and I will be 11 dpo on the 12th... so I think I will test on the 12th (next Thurs) because I don't want him to have to do the SA if it isn't necessary. I mean, I'm kind of curious either way haha. And that would mean, if I still wanted it to be a Father's Day surprise, I'd have to lie and tell him they called and need to reschedule... while I wait for 3 whole days to tell him. Lol. I doubt I could do that. I know it's equally likely I won't get pregnant this cycle so I need to prepare myself emotionally for both outcomes, but it would just be the all-around best scenario if it happened this time! No need for hubby to do SA, Father's Day announcement, no need to take PT test next month, NO marching band for football season this fall (WOOHOO!), family could come see me for Christmas with a 7 month baby bump- I can go on and on. Most importantly it would be time to have a baby and we are so ready.

Hope you all have a great day.

 

[Wishing1010]

Aww!!! All of that sounds so perfect, Megan!

 

[Jrepp]

That all sounds so great Megan, and I really hope this is your month. You too Kenna.

Today has been the suckiest of suck days so far this year! We had to call security twice, I got punched a couple times, got "wolverine" slashed and had to restrain two different students. We can't call parents because one family doesn't do anything and the other family has lawyers and is trying to sue the district. All I keep saying is 3.5 more days, 3.5 more days.

I just went to the bathroom and noticed more brown spotting. I have no idea what it's from (see my blog post on eventual momma) and it's really driving me crazy. I never bleed more than 2 days, it's too early for ovulation and probably not implantation bleeding unless I ovulated just before my period started. Im on CD 7 so I won't even start the opk's until CD 12. It might be difficult with our anniversary weekend and thine surgery but I'll make it work.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Jess, It's hard to believe you've had a worse day today than previous days... must be just awful! Could the spotting be caused by leftover tissue from the surgery? Would your doctor maybe have a better answer via a phone call?

 

[froggyfrog]

Mary happy birthday!!!

Kenna I like your new spongebob

jess I know you have probably said it but what exactly is that you do? It sounds like a rough job! And like megan said maybe you could call your doc??

I had a little pressure today in my pelvic area, I have had it before so im trying not to look into it, but its way too tough not to think everything has potential of being a symptom. ...

I have an appointment scheduled for next week already for my shots. I'll ask her then. Since being on lunch my left ovary has been giving me O pains, but the OPK I took when I got home was negative. This is all just so frustrating! I knew exactly what my body was going to do and when and now I have no idea. UGH!

I am a paraprofessional (teachers aide) in a classroom for students with emotional disabilities. They are all angry and/or throw major tantrums. Today one of the students was pretending his pencil was his penis and pretending to pee all over the classroom and then ran down the hall screaming into all of the other classrooms. When I finally caught him I had to carry him back into the classroom. Anther student had a 45 minute screaming at the top of his lungs fit because he didn't get to get on the computer until he finished writing one sentence. A third student used some plastic math triangles as wolverine claws, scratched me with them and then punched me in the arm. I restrained him and carried him into a room we call the safe place where they can calm down and he punched me repeatedly in the back, kicked me and then threw a chair at me. Another of the paras came in and took over and called security. A different student than the first three pitched a fit because the cafeteria ran out of hot dogs so his choices were a quesadilla, burrito or ham and cheese sandwich. The kid threw his milk down, causing it to explode all over the lunchroom.

RIDICULOUS!!!!

^ That's really sad. But thank God for people like you!


I was able to get an appointment with my OB tomorrow. (which is crazy because she is usaully booked out a few weeks) I will be between 6-8 DPO... I think. Anyway... What is the chance of a blood test being accurate?

 

[Megamegan]

Hi snowbunnie... I would say fairly unlikely to get an accurate result. If they do a beta test, it MIGHT be enough time to have an hCG level of above 5, but if they just do a "yes/no" (qualitative) test, then most likely it will say negative at this point because it's about the same sensitivity as a line test (maybe even less sensitive than some line tests). Are you going to the OB for a different reason, or just to check if you are pregnant?

 

[Jrepp]

Hi Snowbunnie, Do you have a basal thermometer or just a regular one? If you don't have a basal thermometer I highly recommend you getting one. It is a fair bit more accurate than the standard thermometer at recording the subtle shifts in temperature. As for your question: at 6-8dpo it is very unlikely that you will be able to get a positive pregnancy test. Most implantation doesn't happen until 6-12 dpo, so assuming the fertilized egg hauls butt down the tube and finds a comfy place to land, it will have just implanted and HCG will not be high enough to detect.

Happy birthday Jess........

 

[Wishing1010]

So sorry about your bad day, Jess. I hope today is much better since it's your birthday!!!

 

[Wishing1010]

My temp went down and I woke up cramping pretty bad. Expecting AF tomorrow or the next day. At least this cycle is finally over!!!

Sorry about your temp drop. Hopefully it will rise back up again tomorrow....

Mine did a .1 drop today and all my symptoms were gone... No cramps no sore/full/sensitive breast.... All that's left is my sore throat but it's getting better i suppose. I'm still hoping mine will rise tomorrow.

 

[Wishing1010]

FX for you daphne!!!!!!!

I'm just very much over this cycle, I need this start a new one. And I know it's going to be painful, 50+ days since the last.

 

[mdscpa]

Thank you Kenna.... I still wish for your temp to rise tomorrow might be a wonderful surprise. Also if AF does arrive, i hope it won't be too painful.. I'm sad mine dropped today but glad that i reached 10days LP already without any spotting whatsoever. Hopefully, that is a sign.... If my temp stayed elevated for the next 2-3 days I might give in and test on thursday/friday before going to the hospital for my progesterone test result....

Edited: last 3 cycles i spotted 5 days before AF showed up on the 6th day.

 

[Wishing1010]

Ooo FX! Means your progesterone is at a healthy level!!!

 

[mdscpa]

Ooo FX! Means your progesterone is at a healthy level!!!

I hope so too.... Whatever the outcome, I'll be okay. Having normal LP with BFN or normal LP with BFP, heheheheh....

Will let you ladies know the result of my CD21 test on Friday. Oh, it seems like forever.....
