Hellobee Boards

@Banana330: same here. I feel like when I glance at the test I see something but when I stare at it really close, nothing!

@cyndistar3: girl! Testing gets the best of all of us! How many DPO are you?

Still a negative this morning, and my temp dipped. Though my period hasn't started yet. How long after your temp dips is it until your period normally starts?

AF finally showed for me this morning... 3 days late.

@MrsBrewer: I had 2 lower temps this month, though AF started like 2 hours after I took the 2nd temp.

@Banana330: Thanks! I've had unquestionable BFNs through 15 dpo so it was just a waiting game. Ready to try again next month.

Ok, I know I just posted an hour ago, but I'm annoyed and anxious. Spotting? WTF? I can't remember the last time I spotted before my period - only after. Usually AF comes in strong from the outset!

Such weird mixed signals. My pack of cheapie sticks from Amazon is supposed to arrive today. Going to try to hold off on testing until tomorrow if AF doesn't make herself known in a real way before then.

Ugh... the last day of the TWW is definitely the WORST!

Well, I'm out. AF Just showed up in full force. I'm so sad. 15 cycles... I think I'll never get pregnant.

I haven't been to a fertility doc yet, but I'm going to make an appointment for both me and DH as soon as possible.

@yellowbeach: I just made an appointment for Friday morning. I didn't feel like it was admitting defeat, but I guess I felt like maybe I hadn't done EVERYTHING I could on my own.

I haven't typically had great experiences with doctors - every time I go I feel like I leave having learned nothing about my body or what might be causing whatever symptom sent me to the doc. So I guess I was more afraid of being dismissed by them. Of having my concerns dismissed.

I'm sad. Wanna cry but won't, at work right now.

Okay I was feeling too superstitious to post, but I got my first faint at 10 dpo. And here are my 12 dpo tests from this AM (didn't take a pic until tonight so they're not great). AF would have been due tomorrow and I'm gonna wait and do one more test Thursday and then stop cuz I'm going crazy analyzing the darkness of lines. But so far today I'm pregnant! 6th cycle was the charm

@MenagerieMama: yay!! Congrats!!

My AF started. I'm out! Here's to next month!

@MenagerieMama: congrats!

@MenagerieMama: Yay, congrats lady!

whoa, sorry for the giant pics. Lol!

First off, congrats to MOMTOLITTLEB, MissLace, littleblessings, psw27, abbydabbydoodlebug, Valentine Mommy, MenagerieMama !!! So exciting!!!

I'm still here - apparently one of the last hold outs

It's been a weird month for us - I think we had pretty good timing, but I usually O on CD12 - this time, no pain (my usual ovulation symptom), except MAYBE on CD14? I'm definitely investing in OPKs after this month.

Last month I had a lot of symptoms around this time, especially nausea - I think that was my body's reaction to progesterone? This month, nothing so far except a few nights of hyper vivid dreams.

Basically, I'm driving myself crazy.

Either way, I'm debating on when to start testing. The 27th is CD24 for me, 12 DPO if I ovulated on CD12, 10 if I ovulated on CD14 - feels like a good compromise.

First RE appointment tomorrow. I am scared of what we might find out.

Also my co-worker is 8 months pregnant and it gets harder and harder to look at her.

Ugh. Just sad today and looking for support. Thanks ladies.

@yellowbeach: What a sweet reply. Thank you.

I actually confided in two co-workers - the pregnant one and one whose wife was pregnant - about our issues and requested that they not engage in big office-wide conversations about it. They both announced on the same day so it was kind of all anybody talked about for a week. I work in an open office plan so it's not like I could remove myself from the situation. I'd just sit at my desk silently trying not to cry. One time everybody was talking about baby names and this one co-worker in particular (not the pregnant one) who is in her mid-20s kept talking about her and her fiance's "plan" and when they will get pregnant and all this stuff. It made me want to scream! She instigated almost every conversation about pregnancy and children w/ the two expecting co-workers because she is genuinely interested in the topic. But one time when she was talking specifically to me (unsolicited, obviously) about her family plan I just had enough and was like "hopefully you don't have any trouble getting pregnant." That shut her up! In retrospect I feel bad about saying it, but thank Goddess she has stopped gushing over babies EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Congrats to all the BFP ladies! Very exciting! Good luck to those still waiting to test or moving onto a new cycle. It's a particular and unique struggle...who would have thought we'd be agonizing over pee sticks like this? And tracking temps, etc.

I'm waiting one more cycle, but I already set up an appt for early Oct with my doctor to discuss options. Onward and forward for us! At least the fall and winter months makes for great BD'ing time, right?
