@Mrs. Oreo: That makes sense. My periods are pretty regularly 28-30 days so it's easier to figure mine out. I'm also hesitant to call too soon since the appointments are going to be tricky with my part-time work schedule and already having 2 kids to work around. lol

As for the test, I have taken those weeks estimator tests with my last two pregnancies and I found those to be reassuring. Maybe do that if you're worried??

@mrskansas: ok so Weds 11AM would mean approx Thursday night 11pm. Maybe slightly later as you suggested (like Friday 2am). So that would be O and I would consider late Friday 1dpo. Does that make sense?

I know what you mean about being scared. I actually am in the midst of a chemical right now. I got a faint BFP 2 Fridays ago (unexpected and in a way not good since I'm transferring in June). It got slightly darker for like 48 hours and then plateaued for 48 hours and then got lighter and lighter. On Friday (one week from initial BFP) the line was almost nonexistent and I started bleeding. Actually a blessing in disguise for me, but still was a little sad it wasn't my miracle.
I wondered if I would have rather not known at all. But in the end I think I'm glad I knew and I don't think it'll impact my early testing in the future. I'll just be more guarded with my bfps.
ETA: I've had 2 missed MCs before but this was my first chemical. So the idea that lines might not get darker was foreign to me.

@Mrs. Oreo: really??? Bummer! Maybe that's why I couldn't locate it yesterday. Booo.

@SweetiePie: I'm sorry you're going through a chemical right now.

@SweetiePie: I lurk on the IVF thread so I saw your post about that. I'm sorry that happened This is never easy and having three (or maybe more) losses myself I'm just gun shy to everything. Unfortunately for me, my personality does not bode well with "ignorance is bliss" so I will probably end up testing out the trigger to see what happens.
Ugh the anxiety!!

@Mrs. Oreo: Yeah in that case I would just wait.
I had my first ultrasound with my daughter at exactly 8 weeks and we saw a little gummy bear with a HB of 168! It's so exciting!

@mrskansas: Isn't it funny (not haha funny) the "maybe more" you realize with a chemical. It never occurred to me that I may have had more losses that were chemical. But now I'm remembering "periods" that were like this one - way heavier than usual and very different. And I'm like "oh. Oh. Wow, that was probably a chemical and I didn't even know it". I've had 2 others like this but didn't test with those because we weren't even trying. And now I realize it's a pretty good chance considering my condition that they were chemicals.

Anyway, sorry to thread jack! I meant to just comment on the trigger and got off topic. Will be lurking to watch for your BFP!

@bushelandapeck: Aw thanks I'm really ok. It happened quickly and like I said it's kind of a good thing considering my alternatives so I'm just focusing on my next BFP which will be a good thing. I may join the July POAS thread and hopefully everyone here is long gone by then!
AND I think this scare got me more excited for when its real.

Congrats on your BFP!

@SweetiePie: No kidding. That's one reason I really don't like the trigger.. I'd rather catch chemicals than not know.
But thank you for your insight! I appreciate it!

@periwinklebee: Aw thanks ️
Yes to the feelings with a chemical. I almost feel like it wasn't real. Like it didn't really happen. Especially since I got my "period" only a day or two later than usual. The later losses I had were way sadder but REAL. My DH isn't even considering this a loss and thought it was pointless to even tell my RE it happened. So that's the only part that's been hard, he isn't really acknowledging it at all. BUT I don't blame him - because from his perspective it IS like it didn't even happen. Ya know?

Anyway, sorry for your losses and hope you're not around here for long! xo

I tested this am. BFN. I shouldn't be surprised. But there's always that little bit of hope towards the end of the cycle! I'm expecting AF to arrive on Wednesday.

@SweetiePie: I'm so sorry for your loss. I will be thinking of you in the coming weeks and hope everything goes smoothly for you with the transfer.

@mrskansas: thanks. I hope this TWW goes by quick for you.

@SweetiePie: My husband was very similar, I barely talked with him about it. And I told a friend IRL who's response was "5 weeks? I wouldn't have even known I was pregnant then" [then continues without
a pause chatting about random stuff]. Thankfully the support here was awesome and really helped me through it.

@jhd: I'm so sorry about the bfn Is your RE appt this month, or later this summer? I'm so hoping that things will work out soon...

@jhd: I hope the vacation is relaxing and brings some clarity. If you do decide to see the RE, you can always go ahead with testing and potentially try for awhile longer before doing treatments. My impression is that this is pretty common, especially with an unexplained diagnosis...

I am having insane amounts of pinching/cramping on the side I ovulated from. I'm assuming it's just the corpus luteum(s) but it's kinda annoying.

As I was walking into work this morning I was thinking about how to find coordinating outfits for boy/girl twins... I have officially lost my mind!!!

@mrskansas: girlfriend can we be friends! I wasn't looking at minivans online thinking omg if we have twins we will need a minivan for sure! And I may have thought of names. Then I was like umm you have to get pregnant with one first!

@mrskansas: yes! I'm 5dpo, and had a slight cramp on right side. But, it was probably because I'm hungry since I had two eggs from the left!

@mrskansas: yesterday I got nauseas and lightheaded cleaning the tub. I'm sure it's side effects of progesterone supplement. And I just had cramping on my left side taking a flight of stairs!

@mrskansas: Yes, I so so hope this is it for us! I had crazy vivid dreams with my DD. But, I started having them again even when not pregnant, and not on progesterone!
