Ok yโall, itโs for real! Super light for my tastes, but definitely more than an indent! 11 dpo

12/13 dpo - Bloated/gassy/very mild cramps .... but that could have been all of the Cuban food I inhaled last night. (#OhmyGodthatwasgood.)
BBT rose again (let us see if TD let's me keep this one ). AF due in 1-3 days although, I've gone to 18 dpo a few cycles. ๐คทโโ๏ธ I will wait this out ... hoping for the absolute best.
@Lazb: @jessiemueller88: Any updates, ladies? ๐ค

@Jessiemuller88: I saw it on there too even before samsmom played with filters.

@LAZB: woo! Looks exactly the same as my first frer at 11dpo too I believe. Thatโs still pretty early as far as testing goes, right?. Iโm hoping mine darkens/ I have a positive and good bets coming my way. I ordered more frers of amazon.

@Kaohinani: feeling very anxious. Didnโt have very dark tests yesterday and wish I just knew what was going on. I guess now Iโm officially late? Iโm trying not to let this consume me, but failing. Iโm having trouble sleeping because of it. Hoping this weekend with some Christmas activities can help distract me.

@Petitduck: That is so difficult. Honestly, a lighter batch of tests could reflect anything from a later implant to one that is slow in doubling HCG (example- the avg rate is 24 hours; however, it is still normal for a 72+ hour doubling rate). Also, some women's bodies don't always register HCG output well in their urine (some women - not at all!) so urine tests rarely become much darker. A beta would be the only surefire way to measure progression. Please, try to think positively, as negative thoughts won't provide you with any comfort nor will they fix anything. I'm keeping you in my thoughts. Incidentally, I think Christmas activities to keep yourself busy sound LOVELY. I'm actually jealous - DH has drill this weekend and my DD is sick so I'll be staying home ... You will have to update me with anything exciting you do so I can live vicariously through you. ๐ค

@LAZB: That is a Positive !!!! OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! I am so happy! (...and a bit jealous bc, you know, I'm starting a bid for the next color of the year to be "Kaohinani's stark white BFN!" ๐คฃ)
But, honestly, OMG!!!! Yay!

Up with my poor cat, heโs definitely dying
But here is a slightly better picture of my Bfp. I keep getting shadows and the light is bad, but itโs clear as day.

@bananasareyellow: Nice to see you back, bananasareyellow! Since I am awake so early, I will add you to the POAS list (above) ASAP. Good luck this cycle and I hope you can surprise DH with some good news for Christmas as well!

@Petitduck: hoping for much darker tests for both of us! I had a line this dark at 9 dpo with my son, so Iโm nervous, but I think this is probably what it would have looked like at 11 dpo with my daughter, so hopefully it just implanted on the later side.
@Kaohinani: you always crack me up! And thank you! Iโm honestly shocked, I really wasnโt feeling it this month.
@bananasareyellow: thanks, heโs really old (17) but heโs only been sick a few days, itโs been a very rapid decline. And thanks for the congratulations!

@LAZB: I know this will not make you feel immensely better, but, they say that with each loss comes a gain and that everything in life happens for a reason ... perhaps, the timing of your BFP and your cat being ill and passing are meant to be. While losing such a loving companion is so sad, gaining a wanted child is something to celebrate. It is the universe staying in equilibrium for you.
pomegranate / 3904 posts
@Kaohinani: that is comforting, thank you. This is the cat that is especially obsessed with me when Iโm pregnant, so the timing is interesting. Iโm mostly sad for my dd, he is her best friend

@LAZB: my lines darkened quite steadily with my other pregnancies so Iโm antsy. Iโm sorry about your cat. I was thinking a similar thing alone the lines of @Kaohinani: when I read that along with your bfp post this morning.
Question: frers are more sensitive than easy@home strips or any of the at home cheapie strips right? Mine say 25miu I believe. If thatโs the case and I get a darker line next time I pee on a frer then Iโll feel better.
@Kaohinani: thanks. I know youโre right. All day long I tell myself the logical way I should be behaving right now... going to get our tree today!

Oh wow, so much has happened on this board!
@LAZB: whooooo hooooo! Iโm so happy itโs for real. Iโm thrilled for you!!
@Petitduck: Iโm hoping your tests get darker. Iโve been there and know how consuming and stressful it it.
Yโall made me second guess my BFN I seriously didnโt see anything! I just took another FRER and I think I see something... but they both may be indents.

@Jessiemuller88: Post a picture so we can analyze it with you? If I can't get a 2nd line (but can get awesome looking charts), I want to look at some BFPs and some possible BFPs. ๐คฃ
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@Jessiemuller88: It looks darker than the one you posted yesterday! I could [almost] bet with certainty that a test tomorrow or Monday would yield even darker lines!!!! I think it MAY be a VERY early BFP. EEEK!
clementine / 973 posts
@Kaohinani: I think so too. I was shaking when I took it. Iโm so terrified with an ounce of excitement at the possibility.
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@Jessiemuller88: Test again tonight with a 2 hour hold and then again in the morning?
I can't WAIT to see your updates! ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
clementine / 973 posts
@Kaohinani: thank you!!!
I only have one more test, so I think Iโll save it for the morning!
kiwi / 624 posts
@Jessiemuller88: I agree with the test tomorrow morning or the next day. But I can still see it. And thank you for the good thoughts. I wonder if there are people who are chill about this whole process? I seem to get much more anxious every single time.

Overshare coming up:
Weirdest feeling EVER - vaginal cramps.
Not having "lightning crotch" but actual achy crampy crotch. I've only ever felt anything remotely similar when in very early labor and WE ALL know I'm NOT in labor. Just odd. ๐คฃ

Better pics of todayโs tests, because you know how much I love staring at pee sticks
grapefruit / 4492 posts
@LAZB: congrats!
@Jessiemuller88: oooo I'm so excited, it does look darker than your last!
@Petitduck: I think they're the unicorns of TTC, or super fertile and never have to wait long enough to get crazy about it. As for the longer you try it ebbs and flows with the crazy
@Kaohinani: new and weird sounds like a good sign to me

@Sams Mom: Did you see my chart, too? Look WAYYY up past all of these amazing BFPs to my pathetic (albeit, exciting for me) chart. #AFreckleOfHopePerhaps?
