[patienceiav]

Much better line! Congrats! No matter if it's a chemical or no, you're pregnant now so relax and enjoy

I'm joining you Lotta, not feeling it today, more crampy and less sore boobs :/ this whole cycle has been bonkers though! Monday is when I should start spotting so gonna smother myself in progesterone cream when I get in

 

[twinkie2]

Yep definitely preggers mkyerby!!!

Jessica-feeling pretty good so far, just tired. I actually got to sleep n today,it was sooooo nice! 5 weeks today, said screw it and took my last digi, I got 3+!! all is well in the world.

 

[patienceiav]

Hell yeah! That 3+ is like a "everything is fine" confirmation, congrats time to chill out till your scan!

Been on a boob squeezing session now, they sting more than anything but only when I harass them makes me feel queasy too! luckily weekends always go fast so soon it'll be Monday before I know it!

 

[twinkie2]

Can't wait for you to test!

I have another symptom to add about coming off BC - besides the acne I have also gained 14 freaking pounds in 6 weeks. Not feeling pretty right now.

 

[patienceiav]

Grr, very BFN this morning definitely need to buy another brand before monday morning just in case, it's hard to believe there is a viable pregnancy if these ICs don't pick up a thing (i test with 2 per go cuz i'm trying to get rid of them) they didn't show my chemical last month, but Wtbam had the same brand and was getting lines at 10dpo

 

[mkyerby16]

I'm so sorry patience. maybe those are just bad tests? Btw your comment about enjoy it now really helped me, thank you!

New test just now @ work...eek!

 

[jessica716]

Don't stress with them ones too much patience I was about 18dpo before a got a decent line on my one steps. Yet had nice lines at 11dpo on Clearblue

 

[mkyerby16]

Grr my phone likes double posting for some reason. Sorry!

 

[patienceiav]

Mk looks like you're progessing nicely there sorry if i've missed it but when are you going to the Dr to confirm ? Have you missed AF officially yet ?

Thanks Jess, i know they're crappy I got tricked cuz I bought One step ov tests and love them, but looked on amazon for them again and got tricked after searching for One step preg tests, bought 100 by Promatris i just wish if there was anything it'd show just a tiny bit for me hate going to my local supermarket for MORE tests though since they all know me x_x everything else is closed though, think my frer is shipping monday, sigh ! Hey maybe they're just telling the honest truth about bfn, this is month 11 without more than a chemical 4days late for AF

Mk looks like you're progessing nicely there sorry if i've missed it but when are you going to the Dr to confirm ? Have you missed AF officially yet ?

I'm in the US (Virginia) and I don't think they actually confirm early here, unless you pay a lab somewhere or have a special circumstance. I have to wait until I'm 8 weeks along for my 1st apt at my obgyn office (August 12th ish). I could be wrong, but as long as nothing changes I'm planning on calling and making my apt on Monday as they book up super fast. I'm not sure when exactly I would have missed AF with this being the 1st cycle off the pill in 8 years, but my cycles were very regular pre-pill either 28 or 29 days. Soo Monday would be cd28... Monday or Tuesday?

 

[patienceiav]

Ahh that's almost like here, you can do that and just call the midwife and say "i'm pregnant" and they'll either book you in or just make you POAS to confirm it, no blood tests here seems like a good idea to call asap to see when you can be booked in

 

[Wtbam]

I Never had trouble with those tests patience, stark whites and no evaps until I got a faint bfp... but maybe it is a different batch?

congrats to the new bfps, enjoy being pregnant is the best advice, I stressed sooooo much in the early days and wish I was able to enjoy it instead!

 

[patienceiav]

The reviews the Promatris ones have range from getting mad evaps to getting BFN when all other brands show strong positive etc, good for peeing away the hours though

I'm turning into a crazy person today, feeling crampy and bummed out keep staring at the preg. test gallery here and on countdowntopregnancy.com, soon i'll break out the ones i've saved from my chemicals this month is the last straw, after this it's off to the specialist and switching off everything it's been too long and tiring and i'm worn out sorry for the rant

 

[Wtbam]

I must have got a good batch then! Shame I chucked them out.... x

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

Ladies. Any ideas as to why on earth I'm suddenly spotting brown/red ? I'm only on CD15. I'm really confused it started late last night and we were at a wedding so I put a tampon in just in case and it wasn't enough to really be a period but definitely enough to have some protection. I'm not cramping or anything so I'm not sure what to think. ....

 

[Mintastic]

Dunno Charlie. Do you know if/when you O'd?
How is it today? Still spotting?

 

[CrazyCharlie2]

I took an opk earlier in the week and it had a faint line. I wasn't expo to O until this coming week. It's very odd. And it's still just really light but dark in color. Looked like ewcm mixed in too. I'm so confused.

 

[mkyerby16]

Maybe O spotting?

 

[Mintastic]

Yeah, O spotting was my thought too.
Of course - not a doctor. Keep an eye on it obviously.
