Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[Grey Eyes]

12 DPO - temp is still up 98.1 this morning, cramping is mild and seems to come and go, as does the backache. Tried to have a few drinks last night and they just weren't going down, with every sip its like I was fighting back nausea. Boobs are tender, and blue veins are popping out, so maybe I'm still IN? I tested this morning, not even a faint BFP, UGH.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the spotting I had yesterday.. pink in my CM when I wiped, but that was it, then it was gone again. Could I have implanted 2 times (twins)? I had the same thing at 9DPO, then again at 11DPO. I'm just so confused!!

I know some women don't get a BFP until AF is due, but can't she bend the rules for me? I'm going bonkers!!!

Implantation bleed can leave more than one mark...it can be slightly heavy, scant for a few days, spotty, or not at all For me it was one tiny pinkish cm once Can you post pics of your tests so I can see? I get line-eye of course but love deciphering. You are using early-test hpt's right? At 12 dpo I'd think the earlier test the better. I have heard of women using lh strips for testing but I always got a negative even after my bfp.

How are you feeling now? Temp is still looking aweosme btw! I would think if it were it would have dropped by now. How long are your cycles?--would AF usually show up by 12 dpo?

FirstTry- your temps look awesome today also! Got my fx'd for you! Btw- how do you get the chart to show in your signature along witht he link? I always could get the link but not sure how to get the chart in there

Ali- I get a kick out of your ticker It says "One more day until testing!" but you are like so many of us and have tested several times already! I tested so early I knew I would get a bfn but just had to do it Still got my fx'd for you!

I know.. I tried to wait, but I just couldn't do it. I have been using the IC's and they are supposed to be the ultra sensitive ones that can pick up as little as 10mIU, but still nothing.. I'll post a picture in a minute. They have all been like this, absolutely no hint of anything. BOO! and BFN UGH. I did test on 9DPO with a CVS brand early test, but it too was BFN. I have 2 FRER's left and will use one of those tomorrow morning providing the doesn't appear between now and then.

More on what I think was implantation bleeding...
On 9DPO I had pink CM when I wiped, that was it, just that one time that day. Then again on 11DPO I had the exact same thing, just pink CM and then it was gone again. Today 12 DPO, just intermittent cramping and lower back pain, coupled with my tender boobs, and so on.

My cycle is kinda wacky and usually is somewhere between 29 and 35 days, and today is CD 29 (I O'd on CD17). So I between having a late O and if that was implantation on 9DPO, then I may not have a high enough hCG to show on a test until Mon/Tues.

I'm just so confused, and would be extremely happy to just know whether what I'm feeling is AF or !!!

 

[Grey Eyes]

I know, the mental pressure can be agonizing! But it's all worth it! If this is AF you will know soon I would imagine and can get ready for your next round- but if not...then test test test Can't wait to see the pic!

Here is my BFN.. there is not even a hint of a second line. Nothing, nada! That was taken this morning, 12 DPO.

 

[Grey Eyes]

I am seeing a line on the left right in the middle between Max and your test line. Is that where it's suppose to be or is that something else?

 

[Grey Eyes]

Hold you pee for an hour woman and test again!

That is just the line where the plastic is, it should be between that and where the test line is. If I hadn't just gone pee before I saw your post, I would test now with the FRER, but alas, I have no pee!!!

Grey Eyes: I think Alicatt is right on this one. I own that kind too and that is where the plastic hits the test strip.

Alicatt: I didn't realize that we are both 9DPO. FX'd for our tests tomorrow morning.

Btw, I tested this morning and it was not yet positive...

 

[Grey Eyes]

FirstTry- I had similartests nut they were about half that thick- so really narrow which makes it diffixult to read Still got my fx'd !!

Hey Ali!! Coy is right!! We need another pic ASAP!! Go listen to some running water...

 

[jm1355]

Hey FirstTry! I am Jessica. And I am 7 DPO. I am not going to test until the 27th or 28th. My Fertility Specialist gave me paperwork for the lab to have my blood drawn on the 28th.

 

[alicatt]

First Try - I'm actually 12 DPO today, I had what I think was implantation bleeding on 9 DPO and again on 11 DPO. TWINS? HMM.

So I managed to eek out enough to poas again. But is isn't pretty.. there is absolutely no hint of anything here, ugh

 

[Grey Eyes]

Lol, you took the pic on lined paper and all I am seeing when I close my eyes now are lines

But I still see a shadow...? Is that just me being an optomist ladies, or.....?
But no worries Ali! Even your chart says tomorrow for testing (and that's still early) so fmu here you come, right?lol...Ah, tww is torture....

 

[jm1355]

OK Coy...I am going to need your optimism too when I get ready to test...

Ali, don't get all crazy.. and stay positive...no pun intended...

No pun intended- that's funny, lol! The tww could make anybody crazy! Me first It is hard all joking aside...especially with the waiting to spring (or so we worry she will). But I will stay positive for all of you Can't wait for your bfp's!

Ok... I know this might be TMI but I might have a pregnancy symptom. I have gas like it is the latest fashion statement! It is so embarrassing!! I was in Bed, Bath, and Beyond with my DH and I was unable to hide it. It just happened!! So embarrassing! He laughed so hard. I thought about what I might have eaten differently to cause this but there is nothing abnormal.

So I guess I have flatulence and fatigue...

I wonder if I am passing gas in my sleep?!?!?!
