TWW - Testing 21st to 31st July

[Aphy]

AF must have heard me yesterday cause she seems to have come finally. So Starting Clomid on Thursday!

HPmum2B all you can do is keep testing. Fx for you!

 

[greenarcher]

Bow - your symptoms sounded so good! I'm sorry the witch got you.

HP - limbo is awful! I've never gotten a BFP, but I've had early bleeding, which stopped almost completely then 2 days later turned into AF. I hope your experience is different!

Kristy - we're at the same place! 8 DPO today, but you're waiting to test until NEXT Sunday?! I can't wait that long. I know I should, but I've so many cheapies in my house. I'm probably testing Tuesday, at 10 DPO. I had what might have been implantation pains on 5 DPO, so FX!

I might test tonight just because the wait is driving me to distraction!!! I've got work to do!

Hi Greenarcher. Welcome.

Well I had another faint positive this morning. But am bleeding again this evening, much more like AF this time, so I guess thats me done.

Hi ladies can I join?
I'm kinda late but I'll be testing on the 29th... I tested yesterday with a $1 store and was sooo negative so that made it easier to hold of till I'm due for AF...

HP- that happened to me last cycle I had a faint positive and then full on AF the next day after another faint positive that a.m. so I concluded I had a CP also ho is the bleeding if it's minor it could be IB or just a weird bleed in your 1st tri. I always had some sort of spotting when I was pregnant but with my daughter it was scant amounts of brown spotting. I hope you have your sticky bean hun!

I did the same.. took a dollar test too early and trying to hold out.. thought I was doing good then had a strong urge to test again today.. I did and negative again.. trying to put it off just a few more days.. but I bought frers soo might give in a bit early and see if I can get a squinter on Wednesday

We're kind of on the same schedule. AF should be here July 30/31. I haven't tested yet. I want to SOOO bad but I don't want to see the BFN. Its so heartbreaking.

Good luck to you!!

Greenarcher: 9 DPO!! I still haven't tested. Hoping to keep busy and my mind off of it so I don't see that BFN. I only have 1 test in the house, so I'm trying to save it. I keep thinking every little thing is a pregnancy symptom. I'm pretty sure i'm not preggo this month though. Just a gut feeling I have. If AF shows up this month, I will be tracking ovulation WAY better next month rather than just counting days. I'm going to look into the ovulation kits and maybe one of those scope things. What have you been doing to keep track? I'm not good with paying attention to that sticky stuff or whatever its called.

 

[greenarcher]

I've been tracking cervical mucus (the sticky stuff and using OPKs. I decided not to temp this month as it tends to cause me to obsess. I've been having symptoms too, but nothing so out of the ordinary that I'm convinced.

Temping was really helpful, and I recommend it if you're not currently!

I'm going to test tonight. Managed to avoid using FMU today, but now I'm obsessing at work

 

[kristymarie17]

I will definitely look into temping.

The work days seem to be the worst for me. I just sit here and think about it constantly. And now that I have this forum it's even worse. But it keeps me busy at the same time too. Haha

I really want to wait until at least Wednesday to test. Hold off until Saturday morning if I can convince myself to be even sure. I feel bad telling my OH every time I get a BFN. He wants a little nugget more than I do. And constantly asks me If there's anything different he can do or if he's doing anything wrong.

Thanks. I think its done though, the bleeding is very light for AF, not really even touching the pad, just there when I wipe, but not seeing any line on the pregnancy tests now. They are a different brand, but given 3 days have passed since I first saw a faint line, I would expect any brand to pick it up now.

He sounds adorable! If you wait until Wednesday, surely you'll have a clear result, even if its slightly faint. Saturday it should be blazing. Good luck with waiting! I won't push you to test anymore How many cycles have you been TTC?

Sorry to hear HP

 

[kristymarie17]

Greenarcher:

This is technically our 3rd month TTC. The first 2 months we just said we won't change up our routine and if it happens we'd be ecstatic. This current month, I counted my cycle days and estimated my ovulation day.

If that nasty AF shows up this month, next month I will be buying tests and temping and all that jazz.

Maybe i'll test Wednesday. You're making me impatient now lol I constantly think about how I would tell OH if I got a BFP.

This is your 5th cycle right?

 

[greenarcher]

Yup! Been on birth control for 12 years, so never really knew how my body was going to work

 

[HappyAnjeL]

Had a BFP today! Posted a picture over in tests.. but now I am crampy and crappy feeling.. with super heartburn.. should I be worried? I'll be testing again in the next few days

 

[HPmum2B]

No please don't be worried. You can look forward to feeling pretty crappy for the next 8-12 weeks!
And the crampy feelings may stay for the whole pregnancy, there will be lots of stretching going on in there for the next 9 months!!

 

[HPmum2B]

Not sure if anyone is still about on this thread... but I really don't know what to think. I am on day 4 of AF, for some reason, something wasn't sitting right with me, so I just decided to POAS, and I have got a faint (but stronger line) positive. What on earth is going on. So I may or may not be pregnant.
I know the sensible thing would be to phone the doctor, but to be honnest, I wouldn't want a scan before I am 6 weeks anyway, as I would like to see something, so I kind of want to see how things pan out as the week goes on.

 

[greenarcher]

I would say take another test, and phone your doctor anyways. He probably won't want to do a scan either, just a confirmatory blood or urine test.

Then post pictures of your tests here!!

GL!

 

[HPmum2B]

Thanks hun.
I have no idea how to post pics on here... lol. I only have the test from today, I dumped all the ones from the weekend when I thought it was over.

I am scared it is just some hormone left over from the MC, but if that is the case, I wouldn't expect it to get darker. I also don't think I could bleed this much and it all be okay.

When are you testing GreenArcher?

 

[greenarcher]

I've tested daily since 8dpo (except today) all bfn. Out of cheapies, so going to try not to test until saturda y. Af is due tomorrow or saturday. But no spotting yet!

I researched IB a lot, aND there are TONS of stories of women who had heavy bleeding and still had a fine baby. It could go either way
