TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[tbfromlv]

Yeah, I know that’s why I decided on just two days. When I was having monitored cycles that seemed to be enough to get it to an appropriate thickness so hopefully not too much of a wait. If it’s not soon I’m going to use progesterone to start it and see if I can sneak a cycle in. yeah right.

Sunny will you get beta drawn once you hit 14dpo or so?

 

[AmberR]

Beautiful line Sunny! That looks great for 11 dpo!!

Tb- hope you O soon!

 

[Dream143r]

Sunny that FRER is absolutely gorgeous. I desperately hope this is you sticky bean!

I did test the morning SMU - BFN. I'll be testing everyday moving forward because, well because I wonna. lol

 

[tbfromlv]

Good morning ladies. I woke up with the best EWCM I have ever had and got this opk. I guess I am finally ovulating! Lol I guess all I have to do is threaten my body with restarting my cycle and it gets into line

 

[AmberR]

Yay, beautiful + OPK, tb!!

 

[Dream143r]

Oh that's a blazer TB. Baby Dust!

My 9dpo HPT with FMU this morning was also a BFN. Will try again tomorrow.

 

[AmberR]

Hoping it's just too early yet for you dream!

 

[SunnyBe]

Happy Easter everyone!

That's a blazing positive OPK Tb. Wow!!!! It seems threatening your body always does the trick

Dream, any updates? Looking back, mine was such a squinter at 10 DPO, don't just throw it out at the 3-minute mark. You're allowed to scrutinize it lol.

Amber, when is your next appointment? How are you feeling?

AFM, progression pic of internet cheapies attached. It looks good, right? Top is 10 DPO, the bottom one is today at 13 DPO. I'm saving my last FRER for tomorrow morning so I can hopefully compare beta scores with FRER lines. I'll call my OB in the morning to set it up. I'm so scared Don't want to get my hopes up, the anxiety is just killing me.

 

[Dream143r]

10dpo bfn. I dunno what else I can do guys. Sigh.

Happy Easter.

 

[AmberR]

Dream- so sorry about the BFN.

Sunny- progression looks good! Can't wait to hear your beta tomorrow!

My next appointment is around 20 weeks so just patiently waiting. I'm more excited for my 20 week scan, which is scheduled for May 4th (21 weeks) but DH's work schedule is changing so I may be able to move it up a week or so!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

 

[tbfromlv]

Sunny the progression looks great!

Amber- how exciting just 4 weeks until you know the gender!

Dream- how’s that test this am?

Afm negative opk and no temp rise. REALLY hope I get one tomorrow.. otherwise what in the world is going on??
*edit- opk was actually positive so hopefully temp rise comes tomorrow!

 

[SunnyBe]

Tb, there was a little bit of a temp rise. Could be that it's slowly increasing and by tomorrow, it'll be really high. Fx!

Amber, ahhh that's so exciting It won't be long before you'll start to feel movements.

Dream, keeping everything crossed for a line today. Even if it's just a squinter. Come on!

Steph, how are you doing? Did you enjoy your ultra-long-weekend?

AFM, 14 DPO today and I'm really driving myself crazy testing and scrutinizing the color of the lines. I was so scared to use my last FRER today, but it looks pretty good. The test line might even slightly beat the control line. I hope I can overcome this anxiety though because this isn't fun at all

 

[Dream143r]

FX for your rise TB.

CD27/11DPO - AF due Friday.

This morning's test looks pretty negative. Although I am seeing a next to invisible grey shadow. Nothing even remotely close to anything the camera would pick up. It did show up near the end of the time limit. But I dunno. I'm pretty sure I'm grasping at straws here. I'm usually pretty realistic with my BFNs though and don't usually see squinters that aren't there. It for sure doesn't have any pink though. I actually brought it to work with me to stare at it even more in my office. lol These strips are usually pretty stark white. I dunno. I'll post the pic but I don't see anything in the pic.

I meant to mark a paper with where I as seeing the shadow but accidentally marked the actual test at the edges. Oops.

Anyhoo, happy Monday. I hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekends. I'm back to work today, but taking this Friday off. So another short week for me.

 

[Dream143r]

Sunny - That test line on the FRER looks darker than the control to me! Progression looks great too. Oh the stress and anxiety of it all, I know there's probably nothing we can say to help with that. Just know that we're all on your team every step of the way.

 

[SunnyBe]

Thanks Dream. I think I see that shadow in your pic. Fx it gets darker!!!

 

[tbfromlv]

Wow sunny! That looks great and definitely darker than the control! Are you getting a beta today? I know you’re feeling anxious and that probably won’t stop for awhile but if it makes you feel any better, my lines NEVER got that dark. Congrats!!

-oh and it only looks like a rise because I’ve had so many abnormally low temps. Lately. My pre-o temps are usually between 96.8-97.3 and my rise gets up to 97.6+ so today I was at 97.18, I don’t think it counts lol

Dream I’m seeing something too I hope it gets darker!

 

[SunnyBe]

Thanks Tb. It's difficult to enjoy it just yet. It actually kind of scares me as I generally don't see myself as an anxious person. But with this, pffff. I have to force myself to eat something and I can't get any sleep. That all makes me worry even more as I'm scared of the effect stress has on my body, which again makes me worry even more etc. LOL.

My + FRER of my chemical looked (at its darkest, 15 DPO) about the same as my 11 DPO FRER, so that gives me some hope. I hate the cheapies though. I wish they got dark.

Leaving to get my beta in a bit. Last time I got my results the day after so I'm thinking I won't hear until tomorrow.

 

[SarahTTC3]

Sunny- That looks awesome!! Sending good vibes your way!!

Dream- I'm hoping it gets darker for you!

TB- Hoping your temps rise!

AFM- Had a great weekend with the family. Order some OPK's from Amazon. They should be here on Tuesday. Evil witch should make her appearance Tuesday or Weds. I will be able to start fresh this month!!

 

[tbfromlv]

No rise. My opk *might* be positive still today. I give up. Three times I’ve gotten the LH surge with no ovulation. *sigh* not sure what else to do

Sarah that is exciting!

Sunny I can’t wait to hear your beta results

Dream let’s see that test!

 

[jmack54]
