Two Week Wait for LTTTC'ers!

[BobDog]

tarkwa! you make me giggle!

i ran out of tests but i've got frer's on the way!! no-where on the island i live on stocks the frer... not to mention how everyone knows everyone else here so gossip spreads like wild-fire! this is why i LOVE the internet so much! hehee! i want to know too! but got to wait...

 

[neuros]

this is my first month temping so all very new to me. as i keep saying, it's very addictive! i wasn't prepared for that nor how affected i'd be by it. but DH has been very supportive so that makes it much better.

i toned down a bit during my body combat class last saturday but felt a bit dizzy / nauseas after, but went away after i ate something. not sure why though. did yoga today and am ok.

i'm now CD30, dpo13... FX'd!!!

do you chart with fertility friend? and have you tested lately?

 

[BobDog]

as requested by Tarkwa...

13 dpo and here is my test...

not sure there is a pos here but maybe an evap.... what you think? pic taken at 4 minutes 34 sec! yes i was timing it! lol

Jen- I'm viewing this on my iPhone, so I can't tell if there's a line, the screen is so small! I've never used a Frer before- how long are you supposed to wait for the result?

So many ladies on 13dpo- fingers and toes crossed for you, girls! Good luck!

 

[BobDog]

i don't know! i've not used one before i usually use the IC's because they are cheaper and i like to pee on sticks a lot! lol! but if i think i see a line i usually get digi's and they usually come back saying no... so the frer's are cheaper than the digi's so i ordered them...

sorry, kinda went off on my own wee bleather! lol!

they are meant to show the results at 2 minutes sometimes less....

 

[Tarkwa]

Hi Jen, not sure if it's my PC but I'm sorry, I can't see a definite line on it. That's not a FRER though, so might not be picking up enough hcg to show properly - maybe wait a couple more days for it to show up on one of those dip-sticks. I still have everything X'd for you!

[BobDog]

i dug that out of the back of the drawer and looking at the date now, it's a month out of date! that might be the problem... so ignore that one! wish my frer's arrived on time!! grrr!

 

[Tarkwa]

YAY!!!! That's great - you can never trust a test like that when it is out of date, especially when it's something as life changing as this! Come on FRER's - show us your darkest 2nd pink line!!! FX'd

[Rivetkitten]

Ooo if it's a month out of date that might be why we can see a white line.

 

[BobDog]

i guess so... a little bummed though... but bring on the frer!

do you chart with fertility friend? and have you tested lately?

hi jenbrem! yes - i chart with FF, but only started 2 weeks plus ago. not tested yet - resisting urge until at least after AF due based on assumed 14 days LP (tomorrow!) FF suggest to test only on Sun - not sure if I'll be able to hang on till then or the will catch up with me before that.

no temp for this morning. 5th day in a row i've woken up at 5+am and not been able to get back to sleep. even more frustrated this morning as i had a big dip yesterday and today's 14dpo so very keen to do the temping. but DH's alarm rang and rang and HE didn't wake up so i totally lost my temper at him. Had a massive shout and wail for > an hour. Not good start to day at all. I know it's unfair for me to do that but I'm just so frustrated and upset.

it doesn't help that in front of me, 3 of my male colleagues are constantly talking about their pregnant wives and baby stuffs buying. super irritating!!!

sorry ladies - not a great start to the day for me... hope it's better for everyone else...

p.s. jenbrem - i love the quote at the end of your signie!

 

[J_in_Dubai]

Hi Neuros, so sorry to hear you're having a rough day. I always find it so hard the days before testing and I usually wake up early then too! I hope your day gets better and that you get some great news when you test. Good luck!!

 

[neuros]

it just worse... dull headache escalated into relentless throbbing and I had to come back early from work. Unable to resist temptation and tested - .

but i actually wasted a test strip as i noticed pinkish CM - indication that AF is coming. but by then i already tore open the package so just went ahead and tested anyway. sigh...

i'm not surprised as my AF is usually preceded by headache but still very disappointed...

neuros - Im so sorry you are having a rough time AND it's a BFN

Im kinda so used to BFNs that they don't even bother me...Not sure how Ill react if Im ever lucky enough to get a BFP.

Actually, that's a lie - I got BFPs when I had my IUI and had the tirgger shot - they looked sooooo lovely but only lasted 10 days

jen - I can't quite make it out. I think I see a darker area where the test line should be but if it's a cheapie + out of date I wouldn't trust it anyway.

Btw, I need to move to where you live - that would cure my POAS addiction

 

[MariaF]

AFM - nothing new at all. Im supposedly 5/6DPO so I guess even if I ovulate it would be way too early for anything

 

[Rivetkitten]

Well.. I've spent the morning torturing myself looking at all the pregnancy tests on this forum. Not sure why?... seems rather convoluted but I did it anyway. I have cramping...it felt like burning yesterday, BUT... I always have that in the tww. There is never any difference. It's really depressing. A constant reminder almost that I'm not pregnant? I'm only 7DPO though, so I wouldn't expect anything. I pee'd on a OPK though just to see... I know that OPK's are not HPT's but they can show pregnancy hormones...and really a negative OPK was far less traumatic than a I can at least then kid myself that it wasn't the right test anyway I'm such an idiot.

 

[MariaF]

Kitten - I plan to do the same I only have expensive HPTs left but have 2 or 3 ic opks so I plan to start using them tomorrow I guess here Ill use them with FMU as HCG is strongest then unlike the LH.

Oh gosh, all the stories we will have for our LO's

I do actually have proof that opks work as HPT AND they pick up the hormone sooner. When I had my trigger shot (i.e. I had loads of pregnancy hormone in me) I did opks, ic HPTs and a FRER. FRER was positive but not super-super. IC HPT was also positive but the line was at least half as dark as the control - so quite feint. The OPK however was SOOOO dark it was quite scary

 

[neuros]

Thanks for the encouragements!

I'm feeling bit better now as I realise this is the shortest and most normal "natural" cycle I've had in a long long time! plus I ovulated! so at least things are taking a step in the right direction. My chinese doctor's going to give me some herbs to take this cycle - apparently he's had pretty high success rate with that!

All the best for those who're still in!

it really doesn't help... i really do have a POAS addiction! i just order online!
