Alright, sorry to be so late with my update! I know I get impatient waiting to hear! But I'm having a slightly confusing situation.
So here's the deal. To recap, yesterday I took a wondfo hpt with fmu. Initially it looked negative, but later I saw a line that was so faint as to be almost nonexistent. But I DID see it. So I took another with concentrated afternoon urine, same exact thing. Nothing, then later VERY faint. (They're still there this morning.) Thankfully we don't take out the trash like we should, so I dug out some old ones and no similar line.
So this morning, DH's alarm went off at 6:30. I took another wondfo, but only stuck around long enough to see it looked negative (not even 2 minutes). DH called in sick so we both crashed till 9:30. So I looked at that test, and... Definite faint line. I even got DH to look and he saw without prompting or anything.
So I did the obvious thing and took another (still fmu since was sleeping), and the blue dye test I had left over from previous pregnancy. Wondfo looks negative. Blue dye got an immediate faint line.
It's worth noting that I noticed last pregnancy that the positive lines did get darker when they dried, and that I've never had issues with blue dye tests.
So current plan. DH is home. I played down the wondfo and said they're prone to evap lines and such. He doesn't know about the blue dye. So I could still follow through with my plan for his birthday ("I love daddy" onesie). I'm gonna tell him I need to go to the library (plausible), then go grab some frer's or digitals. Take one at the library (classy, right?). Then if positive, go to target for bday gift. If negative, use an frer or digital in the morning.
So glad I have this community to explain all this to!

@AlmostMrsG: good!! Did you IUI this cycle, or am I making this up?
eggplant / 11408 posts
@PEAPIE: that does look good!! I am hopeful for you!! But I will be contrarian here-I could never use the digital tests. I want to see the lines and interpret for myself, especially if they are faint!
@littlek: super excited for you too!

@PEAPIE: Dang, girl, how have you NOT tested!? Test, test, test!!

@torchwood: I'm just crossing every finger, toe, and nose hair for you!! (figured since you can class it up with talk of poas in a library, I can safely refer to nose hairs... hee! Seriously, though, I've poas in a library, too! Go library poas'ers!)

Omg guys!!! Digital was positive!!! And it was way hard to post the picture from my idiotic blackberry, so if it's some random non-hpt picture I apologize
pomelo / 5607 posts
Omg you guys! Digital was positive! Squeee!
Ha ha, halfway through typing this DH called. I told him straight to library (less than 5 minutes), and back.

@PEAPIE: Holy crap, I don't know how you're still holding out! I would be peeing on everything I could get my hands on! Good luck! Can't wait to see if you get your BFP!
cherry / 202 posts
@runnerd: I am officially in the 'real crazy' of the tww. 7dpo this morning with continuing elevated temps (a first for me.) No exceptional rises or falls, but still, "elevated" and all temps above the cover line.
@sprite: For the record, I poas this morning at 7dpo. It's still too early, but I couldn't help it. Hurt-y boobs and a ton of abdominal twinging has got me all crazy town over here. And yes, you betcher boots I'll be poas tomorrow, too.
@lovelyplum: Uh, yeah, if I had a BFP, I'd be putting the HPT in an airtight bag so I could fawn over it daily. So, you're not alone in that bit of awesomeness.

@MrsMcD: Yes, thanks for encouraging me me. Not that I need it!
@sweetkeight: It's ok, we can hang out in crazy town together! I definitely considered doing it yesterday at 7DPO, but held off since I had a temp dip. Thinking about an evening test tonight though....maybe I shouldn't have bought the whole 50 pack of cheap tests, so much temptation!
Your chart is looking good, still above cover line is what matters!

Umm guys I am currently in my 2ww and I am officially going bananas, like crazy, seriously. I am guessing I am 10 dpo-CD 30 (I don't temp, so this is just a guess based off of my positive OPK that I got on Day 19). So, I could be either 9, 10, or 11 DPO. ANYWAYS, we had like the most spectacular BD schedule thus far (O-2, O-1, O, O+1)--assuming I ovulated on the day I am thinking. However, I am experiencing like ZERO symptoms and it is discouraging me. The only thing I have felt is some mild AF like cramps and 3 giant disgusting cystic acne bumps on my chin (but I do tend to break out in my 2ww). I did feel some sharp pains in the lower left part of my stomach at around 5-6 DPO, but it was probably gas! Everything else is as normal. No sore boobs, no exhaustion, nada.
My husband leaves to go out of the country on Saturday night for a work trip and does not come home until Thursday at 6:30 in the AM. AF is expected to arrive the 21st. I will not test until he gets home b/c on the off chance that I am, I would not be able to contain myself.
I need to distract myself because this symptom spotting is driving me crazy. Ugh! Hope everyone else in the 2ww is hanging in there.

@ellewoods84: hang in there! I know how you feel and was going totally crazy yesterday. Today I got out of the house right away and keeping myself occupied so my best advice is to distract yourself!
nectarine / 2086 posts
@sprite: also for the record I did POAS this am with a $ tree brand and was bfn BUT I know that's super early so not losing hope at all. AF isn't due for another 7 days.

@Torchwood: Congrats!!!
@ellewoods84: The tww is like a mean practical joke. every twinge and twang I feel I think about what it could be. I am not good at avoiding sympton spotting (I am only 4 dpo by the way).
