ok when did you test? and how long after did you take the pic..and how many more do you have?

I tested today with FMU, i thought i saw a faint second line this morning, but i didnt have time to take a pic until i got home from work since i barely got out the door to get to work on time, so it is possible the line got darker as it sat... I have 3 more dollar trees left and a whole shit load of the internet cheapys, and only one more first response so i am saving that for later, i might have DH hide it so i am not tempted to use it...

I am not getting excited or anything though, because in the past i thought i had a second line on the dollar tree one and AF came, so i am staying pretty skeptical at this point....

 

[HappiestMom]

I say do another one now and post pics asap...lol..** mainly because I have no reason to POAS so someone has to do it for me!!! lol..**

Thanks for sharing hun, So was the first pic on the thread was a dollar store test taken out of the casing????

 

[HappiestMom]

yep...because the camera flash casts a shadow with the casing lol..unless you angle it perfectly..

 

[wannabeprego]

Ok..well...since you claim you arent excited I feel safe telling you this lol...I tested at 10DPO with $tree and had the faintest faintest line that I swore was an evap..and then I tested the next day with my FRER..and got a line..so....I think if you have more and if you havent pottied in a while you should take another one now....and post a pic right when the pink tinge clears and the dye totally separates out... and then if you have an FRER or a few FRERs you should test in the morning...

I will retest with another dollar store test with FMU tomorrow morning when I get up for work, i have been drinking alot of water and coffee today at work, because i was so stinking tired this afternoon, i thought i was about to fall out, so i think my pee will be too watered down right now...

 

[HappiestMom]

ok..cant wait to see it!!!...currently fixing dinner for hubby and trying to not lol lol...hope he appreciates this

Dare to Dream - I put our boy's name on the net, but most of our friends and family still don't know his name! Just my parents and a couple of close friends. My sister's don't know yet. It's annoying to tell people we're not telling yet (because one of my sisters was harrassing me over knowing it) but it's been nice to not have opinions and for mostly just my husband and I calling him by his name. Keep it just to you guys as long as you want, but I look forward to hearing her name :thumbsup:

Wannabe - I responded on your thread site

Went on our BabyMoon - wasn't what I wanted it to be. But it was nice to get away. Due to snow what would have been a 2.5 hour drive there took 6 to get there and 3.5 hours to get back. We were supposed to breifly visit my husband's sister, BUT he didn't want to leave so out of our 2 full days away we spent 5 hours the first day (from 11-4 the main hours I'm awake, feeling good and active) there. I love her but she has 4 kids (11, 9, 5, and 3) and everyone was screaming the whole time and going on time outs and I just got so worn out! To those considering a babymoon some day talk with your spouse ahead of time about your expectations (I did, but he still didn't get it! "I know you didn't want to stay that long, I know you wanted to leave, but thanks for letting us stay." What was I supposed to do throw a tantrum like the 3 year old? Thanks for ignoring my feelings on a trip that was my idea and that I organized) and then I guess lower your expectations. Sorry if I am just whining. Maybe I'm being hormonal, was just disappointed as this was our last time to get away before baby. Rant over.

20 work days left (the work days in April), though my psych will sign me out if I have a breakdown sooner! Rest of Spring Break here I come!

 

[HappiestMom]

awww..Im sorry your babymoon didnt turn out like you wanted...yeah my hubby doesnt understand that when we go out with friends now I prefer to not go out with every single set of friends that has kids..because eventually we wont be able to get out of the house without our own kid to worry about and I just get annoyed having to go to certain restaurants because Billy only eats this or that Cindy has to go to bed at 7....uggh..he just doesnt get it..and I know once our baby is here he'll be wishing he had listened to me lol... yay that you only have a bit left of work..I bet you will feel tons better!!!

Hi girls, I am officially 1dpo here. Got in BD Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. DH had to do his semen analysis Saturday, and we went to a friend's house that night, did a little drinking, so we both kinda passed out, LOL. Trying not to focus on TTC this month, more on just getting answers.
So - today was the post-coital test. So weird, last night knowing someone was going to look up there today, with the sole purpose of getting mucous. Went by the OV watch, and also did the OPKs...I never get a really good positive on the OPKs, just a faint line. Was worried I didn't read it right. The quickest appointment ever, I love this doctor. Didn't feel a damn thing, he took it right to the lab, and gave me the results right there. So far, this is what we have:
1. Hysterosalphingogram - tubes are open, no obstructions, everything looks good.
2. Semen analysis - 120,000,000 sperm, 74% motility (which is really good) - also means DH does NOT have a testosterone deficiency.
3. Post-coital test - I read the OPK right according to the MD, cervix was open, he says I probably ovulated last night. But, only a moderate amount of mucous (not great), moderately stretchy (good), and very few sperm moving at all. So, looking like hostile mucous, which means we're very possibly looking at IUI.

Before we make any plans, I still have the endometrial biopsy next Friday, and the following week, labs and ultrasound. Once those are done, we can put everything together and make a plan.

I'm kinda bummed, but at the same time, happy that we're getting answers. Not even going to bother testing this month, will just wait for the biopsy and for AF to show. Onward and upward!

@Spunky, I am sorry that your trip didnt go as you had planned....

Thanks for checking out my HPT thread... I took that test this morning with FMU and saw a faint second line, i didnt get a chance to take pics until i got home from work though, so yes the test did sit for a littlw while, i love the cheap price of the dollar store tests but i dont trust them very much so i am feeling pretty doubtful right now, the second line stays pretty faint on them in early days though, sheck out this girls thread, her dollar store test was dried with the faint second line and she ended up prego...

@Nj, those test results sound good overall for the most part, I am glad that your DH's results were good, and that your tubes were open, and you were OV'ing.....Hmmmm, I dont know much about hostile mucus though?? Is there any oral medications you can take or steps you can take to improve your CM..I know the fertility options can get expensive (IUI etc.) You might want to research hostile mucus to see if there are any alternatives in dealing with it if you havent already....I wish you the best of luck with whatever you guys decide to do...

NJ... Glad you're getting your results so quickly! Sounds pretty goodfor the most part. I'm sure there are ways to try and help improve CM quality. I've heard pre-seed helps but I never used it so can only go by what others said. Evening primrose oil works wonders for mucus when ttc in my opinion. Im actually taking itorally now as it's meant to help soften the cervix too, and have noticed a change in cm since starting on it. Gotta be worth a try right?


I can't sleep. Was just lying in bed and felt a massive movement going from the bottom right hand side of bump and sliding all the way to the top. I'm so scared that toby has gone breech again, and I'm so angry at myself for getting so excited about him being head down. DF is asleep and I'm choking back the tears... It's so hard crying quietly when your body is trying to sob it's heart out.
It's like the universe wants me to have a c-section and nothing I do can change that.

Awww, oh no hun...... I am so sorry that you cant sleep and I hope that Toby didnt turn himself back around....
Can you call your dr in the morning and see if they can take a look to see if he is still in the right position....Will they induce labor if he is turned around the right way now and you are worried about him changing positions to avoid the C-section???

 

[NJAngelAPN]

Thanks, girls. I'm actually doing grapefruit juice and Mucinex this cycle to help CM. Guess it's not working so well, LOL. Die, DIE! Just kidding. My best friend told me to be nicer, and maybe it wouldn't be so hostile. Witch.
I'm super glad the results are coming in so quickly. The specialist has his own lab and embryonologist (however you say that) on staff, so he's able to do all the analysis right there. He also runs right on time with his appointments, so you're in and out real quick.

Cottelston, could Toby turn around that quickly after ECV? Did they say anything about the chances of that once he did? I'd think it's be hard for him to flip this close to due date. FX'd for you! Can't believe you're almost there!

Great pix, wannabe.
