The New Positively Positive Thread of Positivity *13* BFPs!!!

Opera- wait 2 days and test again. It's definitely not over yet! I'm still holding out hope. I know the waiting sucks though.

GP-It sounds like a good plan that you're going to start charting this month. I hope your cycles go back to normal, but either way, you'll have a better idea of what's up. Maybe look on Amazon for a BBT thermometer. That way, you have a wider selection and lots of reviews to read (but then, I do most of my shopping online).

 

[Brie1117]

Tough tough times, ladies. All we can do is wait - woman's plight since the dawn of time.

GingerPanda - CHART. It REALLY clues you in. And you'll have some ammo if you go see a doc. CHART! Order a BBT online, if you need to (but don't get one from Target!)

Lionchild - Ugh, I know some NASTY stuff going around! One of my students has Pneumonia, another has Strep, and about a third of the rest are a sniffles and sore throats Good news is, it does end. Feel better soon!

Opera - still VERY early. Wait a couple of days and test again! We're all waiting with fingers crossed! Break an Egg!

OTHER NEWS -
DF left for his Mum's today to help her install some stair railings for her birthday (she fell a few days ago!!!! Scary!) I had to stay home for rehearsals, which means we had one last chance to BD this morning. A few hours later, I checked my CP (I do this throughout the day just to see what she's up to, and I record the most consistent one) So far, it's high (not unreachable) but the softest it's been in a while, and DEFINITELY open. Watery/Stretchy CM. Temp dip, as well as really achy on the Left O side/hip/back last night (nothing today). I'm hoping I O this evening or tomorrow. I kinda have/had a feeling that I'd O when he was gone b/c that would be just my luck, but if it's happening right now I'd be SO DANGED HAPPY!!!! Not getting my hopes up though until I see tomorrow's temps.

I got some B-Complex yesterday. Hoping it helps SOMETHING!
I am officially loaded with vitamins! B-Complex, Vitex Extract, Prenatal w/ Folic Acid, Calcium, DHA, A Pregnancy Prep Vitamin, and Green Tea. Sometimes Progesterone (not this cycle yet). I have some Soy Isoflavones for next cycle if this isn't it. Now all I gotta do is relax (been feeling much better, by the way).
OK, Baby, let's burrow in there for 9 months! Mama and Pappa are really workin' to make you!

 

[GingerPanda]

Thanks, ladies.

Sorry you're feeling down, Opera. It is still to early, though. I hope this is it for you!

Has your doctor done anything to help you conceive with your PCOS?

 

[Lionchild]

Break an egg, Brie!!!

Good news-I'm still sick, but I am starting to feel better. My opk is also finally getting darker. Tons of ewcm! Thank you glorious, B-complex! I've read that it can delay ovulation the first month but if you keep taking it, it will eventually help hormones become more balanced. I think I'm on track to O in a few days (as long as they keep getting darker). Maybe the spotting I've been having is really the O spotting I've had in the past, which my doctor thinks is a result of an increase in estrogen several days before O.

I'm feeling optimistic again!! Such a roller coaster ttc is.

 

[GingerPanda]

Yay for feeling optimistic! I'm feeling drunk at the pub. If I'm not pregnant, I should take advantage of it, no?

Absolutely! Enjoy your Jameson!

Disaronno!

Brie did you coin "break an egg"? That's awesome.

So the test I took was a dollar store one and I took the same kind again today..very BFN. The one I think I saw a line on was a frer.

Honestly I'm at the point of asking "who am I kidding?"

I didn't know the Walgreens bbt thermometers were bad until GP said something about it. Then I read the reviews and realized mine has been giving me the same 5 temps so I probably should just shoot my ovaries and be done with it! Sigh. Now I have to wait til the 15th to get a new one.

Opera-the dollar store tests when I had my bfp gave me the worst lines. Super light when the others were much darker. Hang in there. I would wait a couple of days and splurge on a FRER again.

 

[opera_lady24]

OH MY GOSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!! Ladies!!!!!!!

I took a FRER this morning AND???!!!!! There was a line...faint, but there was a line! Unfortunately it looks somewhat grey in color but that could be b/c it's so faint. DH saw it right away too (it showed up at about 1:30-2 minutes in, in case you're wondering). This one's not even a squinter! I don't have to hold it under a high-power bulb or turn it different directions to see the line. It's really there!!!!!!

I can show you a pic but I really don't think the camera picked it up. It's much more prominent in person!

 

[opera_lady24]

Wow that picture doesn't really show anything. I'll try again.

 

[opera_lady24]

You can kinda sorta maybe see it in this one...

 

[puppymom]

opera, I can possibly see a greyish line... but I am doubting myself. I am never good with spotting lines on here though! I hope this is it though - I would never guess by your temps, but if it is, it gives me hope!

Good luck... did you buy a multi pack so you can test again tomorrow or the next day?

 

[GingerPanda]

Opera! I'm on my phone, but I *think* I might be able to see a faint little something on the second picture. Can't tell if it has color though. I SOOOO hope this is it for you!

AFM, AF seems to have stopped into brown spotting when I wipe. I'm also feeling particularly nauseous today, so I have no idea what's going on. Light cramping, but only in the right side. I took an OPK, and it's pretty dark. Wondering if I should take an HPT.

 

[opera_lady24]

GP go for it...perhaps it wasn't AF? Maybe O spotting? Keep us updated!

Puppymom....I can't go by my temps...I have a walgreens thermometer and I honestly don't think it works. It's frustrating that I can't put any stock in my temps, but if I were to guess, I'm approx. 12DPO.

The line is still there...I keep going back to look at it to make sure it's real and that it's still there. I don't know what to think just yet.

No that was my last FRER...you can bet I'm going to the store today.

 

[opera_lady24]

Here's the link to my countdowntopregnancy picture....you can use the tools...I think it's a bit clearer if you use greyscale.

[puppymom]

hmm, I haven't heard of thermometers being off by so much that you can't see a pattern, but I am sure it is completely possible! I hope this is it for you... let us know how it goes when you get some new tests. Good luck!

[GingerPanda]

So, I tested with a $tree test, but after being able to see the bio-strip line last time I took one of these, I don't want to get my hopes up. So I think the test is lying to me.

Untweaked.
Tweaked.

The real kicker here... is that I can see the line in the photos MUCH better than I can in person. So... I think the $tree tests are all bullcrap.

 

[Lionchild]

Opera- I see a faint line, but I can't tell if there's any color. If both you and your hubby see it, it's a good sign. It's hard to get a good picture when the line first begins to show up. The fact that you've had two of these in the last couple of days is a good sign.

I am super excited for you!!! Please be it!! We're in bad need of a bfp on this thread, and you have put in your time. I hope this is it for you!!!
