@yellowbeach: don't know Shutterfly deals, but Snapfish has 76% off cards if you want to do a card with them

@yellowbeach: that would be a good distraction. Photo projects are very involved I find.

@LAZB: I’m done peeing on stuff now because I’m going for another beta and they weren’t getting darker really, but in a few days they should be different for you I’d assume! Even ones I dipped in pee two hours later (perks of nightly pee wake ups and saving it) were darker a few days ago. So it’s tricky. My easy @homes didn’t show progression in 5 days and one steps did a little. I took a frer on Wednesday and Sunday and there was a difference there.

@LAZB: I don't know about the OSOMs but my experience with FRERs is that they get noticeably darker the first couple days and then seem to stay about the same. Idk if that's normal but I don't typically get a line close to the darkness of the control until way later.
Also - sometimes mine look way darker a day later once they've dried. Are you doing betas?
Fingers crossed this is your sticky one!

Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in occasionally. I lurk here almost every day hoping you all get BFPs but rarely comment!

Frustration over TTC just came to a head in the weirdest way- I cried over seeing the last of my crackers were crumbled and I couldn't put cream cheese on them. 🙄 Who does this? *Obviously, just the hopelessly crazy. 🤪 I thought I was past this.

@skinnycow: of course we don't mind! Thanks for chiming in! I've definitely had frers not be much darker at this point, the osom is more what's freaking me out.

@Kaohinani: lol, not ready to go yet!! After good betas maybe
Also, I should have waited for the osom to dry, now it's darker. I promise no more stick pics after this

@LAZB: I wasn't sending you off ... I'm going to miss you. I'm just stating there IS a preggers board set up when the time comes. Besides, I'm too busy rebounding over crushed crackers to be pushy anyway. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm SO glad your OSOM is darker now ... NO more sticks for you, lady. Wait for your beta so you don't stress yourself (or anyone else) out unnecessarily.

@LAZB: I’m so glad your test dried darker, what a relief!
As for me- another indent/BFN. I hate FRER and I’m done testing.

@Jessiemuller88: Freaking FRERs!!! Can we make a joint twitter account that the whole HB community uses to tag FRER with shitty tests? Asking for a friend (that friend is me)
I had another KSW test today (Koahinani Stark White), 9 dpo so to be expected. Cramped pretty bad last night.

I think I did that right!? Hello. I am new to this, but I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago and now we are trying for our first baby. We are just starting our first cycle of femera, I go back to the RE on Wednesday and if everything checks out I will take the trigger shot and hopefully get some good news and a BFP.

@Mrs. B: Yes you did. Welcome!
What femara dose did they start you on? 2.5? Are you responding well?

It’s in! Let the modified TWW begin! 🤞️🤰 DH and I are now off to pick up DD for 2 nights at Lydia Mountain in the middle of nowhere beautiful Shenandoah Mountains ⛰ of Virginia.

@yellowbeach: YAY! I know I know the answer... or I think I do. How many dpt are you planning to test?
Have fun and enjoy the time away from everything with your family!

@Sams Mom: see... that’s a great question. After the last two cycles where testing early was stressful, I kinda told myself I’d want until morning if beta (12/12) this time. But this cycle there was no trigger, so now maybe I won’t wait that long... IDK... thought from the hive/tribe/POAS collective?

@yellowbeach: December 5? Its right before the beta, gives you 2 days post transfer? Maybe. Not sure
pea / 7 posts
@Sams Mom: Thank you! Yes 2.5 is the dose and haven’t really had any side effects. I take it at night though so maybe that’s why. I had worse symptoms with metformin.
pomegranate / 3904 posts
@yellowbeach: exciting! I vote test early, butaybe aim for the 4th so it's not too early and should be more definitive

@Sams Mom @LazB: I just realized I had a major typo on my beta date. I thought you guys were just messing with me but then I realized my error.
kiwi / 624 posts
@yellowbeach: I really thought I was missing something. I read the first date and thought “wow, she doesn’t have to wait long at all, no need to even poas!” Lol.
I vote day of, but before you go, like Mrs Robertson’s (not sure if that’s the right name, but she was asking people’s advice when to test before her beta) post the other day. So you have an idea of what you’re in for. If you can hold out.

@creativemomma15: thank you!
@Kaohinani: totally normal, hormonal behaviour. :). I fill a knife with cream cheese and stick the cracker bits to it and then eat it.

I had my saline sono this morning and they found a polyp. I'm going in on Friday for a hysteroscopy to confirm that it's a polyp and have it removed.
My RE also looked at my ovaries (for the thousandth time) during the sono and finally said he's confident that I have PCOS. I'm supposed to start metformin but I've heard horror stories and am freaked out about it! He did say I have a mild case but I was so frustrated that it took almost two years for anyone to say I have PCOS.

@mrskansas: that is frustrating that it took so long, but hopefully you respond well to the meds

@mrskansas: I’m sorry to hear and I hope all goes well. I had good experience with Metformin so I wish the same for you. Goodluck!

@Sams Mom: Dec 12 which is equivalent to 14DPO since this is a 5 day embryo. I did a manual override on my FF chart to lay it out.
ETA: I just noticed it added the countdown we talked about last month. Does manual override add that, or do I now have enough cycles charted for it to show?
