Car ping pong?

Lol! Sorry my ipad changed my words!! Lol I meant cramping.

Oh and I feel like I always gotta poop (tmi sorry)

That's what I thought you meant lmao! Oh and yes! That's how I felt too about feeling like you need to poop. All good signs for you huni. I'm excited for you!

brandsongirl, that makes me feel better--test was bfn this morning..or I guess the same as thepast few days with my imaginary line lol. I will test again later..I guess I shouldnt get too upset since its so early.

happy mothers day everyone!

I would love to have a buddy. My DH and I have been trying for over a year. I am now getting some test done to see what is going on. I never dreamed it would take this long as it was not a problem for my mom.

Welcome Themis!

I hope these are all good. I took my temp for the first this morning and it's at 36.5C meaning 97.5F. So average body temp. Isn't it suppose to go up if your prego?

 

[brandonsgirl]

It is still early huni. Some people don't even get a positive until after their missed period. I'm so suprised that i got a bfp that im only just now starting to believe it. And will be taking another one tomorrow morning (SMU again, as FMU doesn't want to show for me) just to confirm it even more. So please don't be disheartened! You may be getting a - now, but in a couple days you could have a BFP too! I think i might have implanted early which is why my HCG is able to be picked up. You may have implanted later, so its taking a little while longer for your HCG to be picked up. iykwim!

Welcome to the thread :wave: I hope your tests go well and you can get some answers from them.

I believe it's meant to stay elevated or increase, yes. But you will have the same problem i had.. because you have started at a random time in your cycle, it will be hard for you to determine your pre-ovulation body temperature. Are you using a BBT? as these can be more precise. What i did, was watch my temps for a few days to determine if the are staying the same or increasing at all. And then took it from there. I had a dip (which could have been implantation you never know) and then they increased again. But because i didn't know my pre-O temp, i wasnt sure what was normal or high etc.
This morning my temp was a little off. I went to temp (LO was yelling for me from the other room so i was trying to rush it) and it didn't beep at me to tell me it was done. So i took it out and had a look at it, and it was the same as yday but obviously hadn't settled on that so didnt beep. But when i took it out and it picked up room temp, it beeped etc. So i took it again really quick and it was lower then yday but still elevated. However, i'm not sure how much i trust it because of the confuffle of getting it all done. I hope all that made sense lol. So keep at it, and you should see a pattern soon!

I'm not getting my hopes up it anything. I realize that I might not have even ovulated. Before I started the pill 7 years ago I had irregular periods. I'm kinda hoping my af comes so that I can start charting and doing it all. April it was just a ntnp but I'm as you were interested in how the body works.

Obviously I want that bfp!! Lol but I won't be to disappointed if not. I've been emotional the last 2 days and today was just lying in bed looking at hubby and just started crying. Haha! It was so weird. He also told me yesterday he didn't want to go out with me bc I was just h a Meanie. I was so irritable.

So I'll be all good any way just more pushing for a bfp. Lol

thanks dear. I actually have a ridiculously short luteal phase, so I am 2-3 days late right now, even though I am only 9 dpo. Last two times, I got bfp the night of 2 days late--not sure if I o'd on the same day those months and if that was 9 dpo or 10/11 dpo...I just have to have patience. I still "feel" preg..ie sleepy and weird things with food. but I guess only time will tell!

Well, I took another test today and it looks to me like there's an extremely faint line there. But it could just be my eyes playing tricks on me. But the negative line didn't even come up as dark as the control line. Does that even matter?

 

[Frodi]

Okay, sorry for another post, but I just checked the test I took yesterday and there is a faint bfp! I double checked with Hunny to see if I was seeing things. It was on a clear blue where the one I took today was a "Life" style brand.
Can it show up a day later after it's 100% dry?

 

[brandonsgirl]

Do you mean the line that would confirm pregnancy didn't come up as dark as the control line ? Usually any line means a + I think. I know frer say even if the line is faint it's still +. Did you test with diluted urine?

I know most tests say don't read the test after the specified time. But also some tests have different sensitivity, do you know what each test sensitivity was ?

 

[Frodi]

Well, today's test was 3rd pee of the day after I woke up again and i feel like its a light trick or something bc I'm the only one who can see it.
And the clear blue says disregard after 10 mins but I didn't wait long enough for it to be 10 mins before I stashed it back in the box. And I checked the stick and its still wet. So I may have peed on it too long or something. But that's the first test I've ever looked back at that shows a bfp

 

[Frodi]

Just checked all the sticks from the past 1.5 and none of them show a bfp other then this test from yesterday morning.

 

[brandonsgirl]

Next time you take a test, pee in a cup and then dip the test into it for the amount of time specified in the pack. That's what i do, and i find it much easier. Plus it take the worry out of peeing correctly on the stick etc.
Hope you get a darker BFP asap!

 

[Frodi]

Yah. I'm going to try that tomorrow morning.
Just got home from soccer and I'm dying! It also decided today that it wanted to hail!!! So I'll keep you ladies updated! to everyone

 

[mah0113]

i bought another pack of frer today so will test with fmu tomorrow morning..trying to control myself from testing tonight
