8DPO: Took a FRER (the old kind) and it was negative but I am not sure if it counted as fmu. I had gotten up to pee about 5:30am and took a dollar store test, then went back to bed and when I got up at 8:45 I saved my pee so I could go out and buy FRER. Dollar store test is likely negative. I can see a very very very faint line when I shine my flashlight onto it (my lighting sucks in my house). I am going out and buying more FRER's today. If I buy 3 packs of 2 then I am set for the week and if they all come back negative then I am getting a blood test done.

Aayla! that is great!!!! Can you post a pic?! I am 7DPo Today, I was going to start testing on Sunday!!

 

[conceive78]

Aayla-- that's great you can see a faint line at least.. Definately keep testing

Aayla! that is great!!!! Can you post a pic?! I am 7DPo Today, I was going to start testing on Sunday!!

somehow I was able to get ok pics. Remember that these pics are taken way after the 10 min mark. My phone is finicky and barely takes good pics of tests.

1 is 7DPO (dollar store), 1 is 8DPO (dollar store and taken at 5:30am), and 1 is 8DPO (old FRER, 8:45am)

9 DPO today and still at a 98.2 Might take a test tomorrow, its a long shot, but it just might be positive!

As for symptoms I still have sore nipples, and hungry as ever. I'm not getting an "empty feeling" after I've eaten, like I'm still hungry, but i couldn't possibly eat another bite. I had a dream a couple of nights ago that I had a baby girl, and then last night dreamt of a positive pregnancy test. Hopefully its all good news!

Baby dust to all!

9DPO: Took a FRER, stark white. I can still see the line on the dollar test from yesterday. Actually I can see it better now and it does have a little colour. the one from 6dpo has no line whatsoever so I don't think it's evap but the one test could have been faulty, I suppose. I am wondering if it would be possible to get better lines with later pee? I've read some women test better at night after a hold. If I prepare I can stop drinking and hold it for 4 hours ( I did that with my opk and bam smiley face lol and the morning opk of the same day was negative).

 

[Mrs.Stewart86]

Abennion - I have had two weird baby dreams this weekend too! Hopefully that's a good sign. I'm 7 dpo today so it's too early for me to test. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and Aayla! I hope this is a lucky thread with lots of BFPs!

 

[abennion]

11DPO: Took two HPTs this weekend (yesterday and today) both BFNs.... temperature dropped .2 degrees this morning. FF says to wait until 13.6 DPO to test to get an accurate result, but my hopes are rapidly falling. Looks like I'll be out this month. Should know by Friday for sure.

Fingers crossed! Hopefully AF doesn't rear her nasty head.

How is every one else holding up?

 

[conceive78]

Fingers Crossed Abennion-- I'm waiting for ovulation this week...

 

[Aayla]

11 dpo and a bfn on my frer. I called my doc to order a blood test. I just can't take the pee on a stick thing anymore. It's driving me bonkers. I think I see something then I don't. Mostly, I think, it's line eye with wishful thinking. All symptoms have faded. If my doc calls me back today I will be going in tomorrow to get the blood test.

 

[abennion]

Fingers crossed Aayla! I know typically from experience they won't do a blood test until you've missed your period, and a lot of HPTs aren't 99% accurate until the day before your AF. Maybe try to wait it out until then? I know it sucks and you want to know, but sometimes it's better to wait then to keep seeing BFNs. Hang in there

I actually completely forgot I am going out of town tomorrow and Wednesday so I won't be able to get my blood test until at least Thursday. I have no idea when af is due. FF has 2 different dates (one on my calendar and one on my chart). The first date is on Friday. That is the average between my last 2 cycles and puts me at a 14 day lp. The chart has it on Sept 1 and that gives me a 35 day cycle with an 18 day lp (which was last cycle and the only other one I ovulated on).
So af is due sometime between 4 and 7 days.

Maybe try one last HPT on Friday? If that one is negative then I would go for the blood test

Yeah that is my plan. I have 2 FRERs left. I think I will skip tomorrow and Wednesday. Also, I won't have any service where I am going and I don't think I would be a good time if I got my BFP and I couldn't tell anyone lol

12DPO and another temperature drop Last night we went grocery shopping because we realized I had nothing food-wise to take to work for lunches. I started crying in the middle of the aisle when I realized the only things I put in the cart for lunch were kids' snacks (apple sauce, tapioca pudding, cheese and crackers etc.) Hubby started laughing. I never cry, especially not in the middle of grocery stores. We weren't happy to see my temp drop again this morning. Hopes are crashing fast.

I feel your pain. My temps dropped again today as well and for the last couple of days my cm is acting like it normally does a few days to a week before af. I caved and took a test today. I swear I saw a line before the time was up but I couldn't capture it and now looking at it I don't see it. I was so sure I saw I almost woke up my hubby and I haven't shown him a single test cause I didn't want to get his hopes up. Af is 2-6 days away so now it's just waiting for her to show up.

abennion- Aayla-- I know it looks like sad times but don't give up hope ...If its not meant to be this month- i am a firm believer " everything happens for a reason" ..Think Positive and this chance will come for you both..
Take care.

 

[abennion]

So today I'm left a little confused. 13DPO, felt the need to go to the bathroom five minutes ago and noticed wcm with what looked like spotting? 2 wipes and then no more blood. I'm worried it might be the start of AF, but also a bit hopeful... could implantation happen this late?
