I've never even had any kind of line on these tests, no evaps nothing!

 

[DannaD]

I see something on the 8dpo one, and the picture is quite blurry. I'd definitly try again tomorrow or the day after!

 

[DannaD]

Also I tweaked the 8dpo one and it's easier to see

 

[patienceiav]

Thanks for looking maybe I'm an evening pee kinda gal unfortunately that website shrinks the pics down and pixels them out so badly! Gonna be a long afternoon with my mother in law, am I, aren't I x.x

Ahhh patience I have everything crossed. I see it on the 8dpo. In my experience my lines were darker in the evening.

Charmed, my DH can't perform at all when he is stressed or upset. I decided I had to just go with it and instead of trying more around ov I actually tried more throughout the whole cycle. Only problem was closer to ov I wanted it less and we dtd twice in like 10 days. I just got lucky and we hit the night before ov.

Afm: I totally know why women freak out about the cramps. Ever sinice yesterday afternoon (supposed to be af day) I have had cramps that feel EXACTLY like AF. Fairly dull but definitely there. No sign of any bleeding at all though and I'm really not worried but holy shit no wonder people don't think they're pregnant when that happens.

If it makes you feel any better, I had strong AF cramps from 5DPO onwards

 

[twinkie2]

Patience! I think I see something on the 8dpo, my evening holds always gave better lines in the early days. I hope this is it. You and CC2 have been around too long, it's time for graduation, let's go bfps!!!

 

[patienceiav]

Thanks! I'm so stressed out that I didn't get anything this morning, and don't even have my temp to give me any indication what's happening! And with my track record, I cannot handle another chemical going mad waiting now!

 

[Charmed86]

Thank you for all your lovely, supportive replies! I typed out a long reply last night, but my phone died right before I could hit send! Argh, frustrating!

I'm not sure what to do.. Maybe I'll hold off on the BDing until later in the cycle, as I don't O until around CD21+! And then perhaps just try to go with every other day. It's so annoying, he managed to do it brilliantly, up until O! I guess I'll see what happens this cycle & go from there.

Patience,that is so exciting! I looked at your photos, but they're too small for me to see anything I really hope there's a sticky bean in there for you though!! FWIW, my temps are *always* lower if I'm disturbed or have restless sleep. This AM I adjusted mine from 2.30am temp as I just kept waking up every hour pretty much, so my 5.30am temp was just not reliable at all I don't know whether the TWW gets to me & I'm so desperate to check my temp, that it messes with my sleep! I swear I sleep so well during AF

AFM - I'm so crampy today IBS is still playing up, this is now day 4! I had to POAS earlier, so used an OPK & got a faint line. It doesn't mean anything, as far as I'm aware, but I'm trying to hold off on my last HPT until closer to AF.. So Monday or Tuesday >.< Today has been so sad leaving all of my customers, but it's done now! I get to rest this wkend & then I start my new job on Tuesday. Exciting!

Aaand, just for fun, here are my spotted symptoms today!
Indigestion, dizziness, headache, tiredness, backache, cramping, slightly tender boobs, high CP, lots of creamy/sticky CM. I think that's it! I am 10dpo & I am determined not to test for another 3 days at the very least! If I'm completely, totally honest, I think I'm not going to get my BFP this cycle. But I can but hope!

 

[mkyerby16]

Sticky dust ladies!!

Patience I pray this is finally your sticky bfp, you've waited long enough!

Cdex- I had cramps that felt just like AF from a few days before my bfp until about 6 weeks. They kept me up at night. I was like I thought a benefit of pregnancy was no AF! Lol They scared (and annoyed) me but you just have to remember your uterus is already stretching and expanding... especially if it's never had a baby in it before!

Charmed- everything sounds promising! Fx'd!!

 

[twinkie2]

Hey happy half way mkyerby!

 

[mkyerby16]

Thanks Twinkie! Can't believe it!

 

[MrsHudson]

Hey ladies!

Good luck Patience! I so am keeping you in my thoughts and hope you get a BFP soon.

Anyone feel free to stalk my board lol. You'll find everything that I'm obsessed with there. Including my car.

Charmed I'm sure you do or have tried but do you take probiotics for your IBS? That's the only way I've had relief. My OB (long story) suggested the Low FODMAP diet as well, but diets just aren't for me. I've heard a lot of success stories with it.

Turtle I'm with you. I tested twice way too early and I'm not going to anymore until I'm late. Too expensive for one lol.

AFM DH and I are in a tiff and the whole baby thing came up again. I'm passive aggressive and tend to explode and I'm just so mad he didn't try harder. Oh well maybe next month if we don't kill each other first. Also if I didn't say this, I started temping yesterday after missing a week and BBT sky rocketed. I haven't gotten AF but I don't think I'm pregnant either.

So nothing on the ic again tonight got a different brand, no idea the miu:

Not quite the line i was hoping for, I'll just keep on holding my breath....!

 

[MrsHudson]

I see a faint line!!!!

So question and sorry if it's dumb, but why do people put their rings on the HPT?

 

[patienceiav]

It's really hard to focus and for some reason focusing on the ring allows it to focus the test too

The test is kinda funny, it's super long so you have to look at the cover underneath it which is lined up to where the little window would be and therefore the line! Once I figured that out I couldn't unsee that little shadow!

 

[DannaD]

I tweaked it again and I see it better than this morning!!

 

[patienceiav]

Goodness, bed time now please let me sleep so I can temp tomorrow! My boobs don't hurt any more which is normally an instant af thing but my belly and acid reflux for the past 4 days says otherwise...

Sorry I'm only babbling about myself, this couldn't be more crucial for me atm!

Sorry you're scrapping with hubby MrsH, we did a lot of that in the beginning till I gave up keeping him in the loop about when ov was! You'll find something that works for you

 

[LavenderLove]

Back from vacay and there's a lot to catch up on! Big hugs to those needing them and sticky dust to all the BFPs!
