It’s such a disappointing feeling, isn’t it? :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837468 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 21:30:45 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2837468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: sorry about AF 😢 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837461 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 21:11:07 +0000 Sams Mom 2837461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: noooooooooooo, I'm sorry!</p> <p>I'm still sitting around waiting for AF 🤔 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837400 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 15:55:52 +0000 starlitsky 2837400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: totally understand feeling cautious but hope you can celebrate a little when you tell DH tonight. :heart: </p> <p>@Sams Mom: I can't believe you forgot to look at your test from this morning! sorry your cheapie was a BFN :sad: </p> <p>I'm on CD12... I woke up and hadn't started AF so I was feeling semi hopeful, but I just went to the bathroom and I have pink spotting so I think this is the start of AF for me. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837385 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 15:28:28 +0000 MamaBear87 2837385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: i so had everything crossed for you.

I could never do that! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837319 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 12:21:11 +0000 Sams Mom 2837319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a little buzzed last night after the gutted FRER looked like an indent. Now, I just need to start so I can schedule my Clomid check. </p> [attach=8928/18/pcsljc.600x450.IMG_20180801_121935.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837317 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 12:08:54 +0000 yellowbeach 2837317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: :sad: Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837310 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 11:32:40 +0000 Sams Mom 2837310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbeach: @Jessiemuller88: Went and bought a walmart test, took it with 2nd morning pee on the day of expected AF... A whole lot of nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837285 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 09:07:37 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2837285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: how could you not look! The anticipation is killing me as well. Please go buy a cheapie and take it! I SO want this for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837284 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 09:06:27 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2837284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: I’m sorry, I know it’s emotionally draining 😢 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837283 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 09:02:19 +0000 Sams Mom 2837283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbeach: I can't :( I'm at work now. </p> <p>It's not so much focus as panic with a touch of needy toddler yelling at me. Husband wasn't home from shift yet, when he should have been home 2 hours earlier. No text no call. Turns out he was fine, just came across a DUI wrong way driver on a 4 lane road on his way home from shift. </p> <p>I am so very tempted to go buy an $0.88 walmart test and take it at work though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837277 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 08:50:30 +0000 yellowbeach 2837277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: You are killing me! Don't you know I'm living vicariously through your POASing right now? :silly: I'm amazed you focused enough on other stuff to forget to even look. That's impressive. Can you share some of that focus?? :wink: In all seriousness though - GO LOOK AT IT and report back STAT! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837274 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 08:40:05 +0000 Lahela017 2837274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: Thanks, I needed that. I'll talk to DH tonight I think. I guess I was hoping I would be able to know if it would be good news or bad news before I do, but that's not realistic. We won't know if everything is going great for quite some time. I'll have to learn to deal with the uncertainty.</p> <p>I hope you get your BFP today instead of AF. I'm so hopeful for you. Fingers crossed!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837272 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 08:33:40 +0000 Sams Mom 2837272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now on another front, morning routine was shot to hell this morning... So I dipped an internet cheapie this morning, put it on the counter and didn't make it back to look. </p> <p>Hey, at least I didn't use my last FRER. AF is expected today, so we shall see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837271 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 08:31:53 +0000 Sams Mom 2837271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: darker lines are great! I know this doesn't make it easier to deal with necessarily, but losses aren't controllable. Most of the time it comes down to a chromosomal issue that isn't compatible with life. Being excited isn't going to hurt you or your little baby.</p> <p>I am a high strung very neurotic person, so I feel for you on that front. Pregnancy can throw that in either direction with all the hormone changes. I would tell your husband ASAP, you 2 are in this together and he's your ground support, he's in the thick of it with you. </p> <p>If your on meds or doing therapy for your anxiety, it's ok if you need a little more on occasion throughout this. Take care of you so you can take care of baby. </p> <p>We are all here for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837270 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 08:24:31 +0000 Lahela017 2837270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: His birthday is on Friday. I thought about telling him on his birthday, but decided not to, in case it turns into a loss and I didn't want there to be bad memories.... I don't have anything special planned for telling him. I'll probably just hand him the digital and the manual with the darkest lines.</p> <p>After the roller coaster of emotions we had last month, I don't really want to do anything big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837269 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 08:24:11 +0000 starlitsky 2837269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: oh wow I’m sorry :sad: that is really hard! Lots of hugs to you!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837268 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 08:14:49 +0000 Becky 2837268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: AF arrived in full force yesterday. It was my shortest cycle ever (26 days if the spotting counts, usually 31-34 days including spotting), and because I got a PCOS diagnosis I’m going to talk to my OBGYN about if I should be concerned about fertility issues the longer I wait to get pregnant. It wasn’t the timing we had planned anyway, (a full year early) but it was still hard to get a BFP on a digital and then see that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837264 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 08:00:32 +0000 starlitsky 2837264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: I’m so glad the lines are getting darker!! I totally understand the nerves. :heart: I need to find a new OB too, we moved last year and I haven’t gotten around to finding one yet!</p> <p>How are you planning on telling DH? :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837260 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 07:32:44 +0000 Lahela017 2837260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starlitsky: thanks for asking. I'm still a mess of nerves. I'm still POAS each morning and my lines are getting darker and I got a positive on a digital, but I'm really scared that if I get too excited about it, I'll lose it. I already deal with some anxiety issues, and this isn't helping. I haven't even told DH yet... I'm planning on tomorrow though. If all seems well still this weekend I'll try to schedule my first appointment. I still need to find an OB- we just moved last month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837251 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 00:00:15 +0000 starlitsky 2837251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: @Lahela017: how are you doing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837207 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 19:10:31 +0000 Jessiemuller88 2837207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: I see it for sure! Fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837195 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 17:31:20 +0000 starlitsky 2837195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: ahhh well you're not out until AF shows! </p> <p>I'm 11 dpo and had really faint pink cm today which may mean AF is coming later today. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837192 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 17:10:17 +0000 Kaohinani 2837192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: I'm so sorry. 😢. I've cried (and grabbed a glass of wine to cry into) numerous times for the same reason. I feel helpless and I swear I'm "over ttc" ... Then AF comes and I find myself feeling (momentarily) renewed and hopeful that a new cycle may bring a BFP. It is a terrible cycle but it has kept me going [33 cycles] and, I believe, the same (and some level of superwoman strength) has kept you going as well. I'm really upset it wasn't a true positive but, you haven't gotten your AF yet so keep your F'x ... you never know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837187 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 16:35:12 +0000 Sams Mom 2837187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: Yea, I'm getting to the point of done. I'm just tired of waiting and hoping and then being disappointed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837186 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 16:28:27 +0000 Kaohinani 2837186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: ARGH!!!! 😲. That's all have to comment about that. 😕 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/july-2018-poas/page/22#post-2837178 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 15:55:48 +0000 Sams Mom 2837178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nevermind, I gutted it and it looks like an indent now. </p> <p>C'est la vie </p>
