@periwinklebee: oh no =[ I'm so sorry. It sucks being stuck in limbo. Are you at least on the west coast where the weather is a little nicer?
-
@snarkybiochemist: my poor husband is also perplexed, I think he is holding out that maybe I'm pregnant, even though I'm pretty sure I'm not. This whole spotting thing is such a gray zone, and tomorrow I'm going to be on my 4th day of spotting, if I had gotten my period when I was supposed to I would be close to being done by now. I see no end in sight =[
-
@periwinklebee: sending lots of hugs.
-
@mrskansas: oh no, don't give me ideas....
-
@Tionn3: that's really annoying, I'm sorry. Times like these I wanna throw in the towel.
-
@Tionn3: I'm sorry about the spotting. That has to be so frustrating. FX if AF is coming that she hurries up so you can move on to your next steps.
-
@madisonbee: yumm!
-
It's been a very spotty month here
-
@junebugsmama: I know! This board should be February Spotting 2017.
-
@Tionn3: spotting limbo is he'll I hope this gets sorted out soon. I know what it's like to have your husband told out hope even when you are pretty sure it couldn't be true.
-
I'm having trouble keeping up with this thread but I want to say my heart hurts for everyone who is struggling. I check this thread all day hoping for good news and think about you guys probably a weird amount. Hoping something good comes to the thread today. Hugs.
-
Question! I've been doing Bikram yoga almost every other day since the most recent loss. I plan on stopping during the tww because it's 10( degrees at the coolest and I know that could hurt things. But I O either today or tomorrow... so you think I couldn't go today?
-
Also this. I tend to get one of these and then one the next day where the test line is darker than control line. Thinking I should act as though this is the positive and see what tomorrow's looks like? Is your first positive the positive test or is the most positive the positive????
-
@knittylady:
I also have trouble
keeping up with the thread and replying to everyone, but I agree. I hope there's lots of good news coming soon for everyone. -
@knittylady: I usually only get 1 positive, the line is typically as dark as the control
-
I would consider the first one my positive and just make sure we BD for the next 3 days.
-
@knittylady: I think it's best to stop testing after the first positive, that way you don't stress yourself out if the line isn't what you think it should be.
We will be POAS around the same time!
-
@knittylady: I agree with @madisonbee: - if you are getting anything close to positive you need to bd! I count the first positive ... supposedly you usually ovulate 12-36hrs after a positive so I figure if you get two positives, the first is more like 36h out and the second more like 12h. But who really knows!
-
Could use some sticky vibes today. My test today made me think this may not be sticking ... but I know one test doesn't mean much so I'll just see what tomorrow looks like. I tend to freak out whether it is warranted or not after all my chemicals!
-
Thanks everyone! We bd-ed the last two nights. Hoping to keep up the momentum! Might need some oysters or new lingerie....
-
@bhbee: I can't even imagine. Want to post it here or would that make t worse? Thinking of you and the bean.
-
@bhbee: I don't blame you! Do you have a picture of the progression?
-
So we were able to BD yesterday afternoon (thank goodness I left work early!) and again at 3 AM this morning.
Unless I drive an hour round trip at lunch I won't be able to see him again until midnight... should I try for that or is it enough BD?? My positive OPK was last night so I imagine I'll ovulate tonight or early tomorrow. -
@mrskansas: I think that will be plenty of BD! Dang. We usually only do it once a day, haha.
@bhbee:
try not to stress too much! I typically try to track my progression too, but in my heart of hearts I know that doing so won't change the outcome. Can you get some betas to measure gir progression more accurately?@knittylady: I'd call that a positive, and skip the hot yoga in favor of a pants off dance off!
-
@bhbee: stick, baby, stick!
@knittylady: I think that's great timing! Oysters and lingerie
@mrskansas: Looks like your bases are covered. Did you BD the day before the positive?
-
@azjax: hahah that was an actual lol!
-
@bhbee: sending you good vibes lady!
-
The only thing to celebrate today is that the spotting is officially gone. Wahooooo.
I don't know what that means, but it's something!
-
@madisonbee: It's the little things!!
-
@madisonbee: it must feel good to not be spotting
@bhbee: Good luck fingers crossed -
@mrskansas: I think you're good! I don't think overdoing the BD helps much. This cycle we did the night before my OPK+ and the night of and nothing after that, and even if it doesn't stick it worked enough for a BFP!
-
Thanks for all your support ladies. I feel a little better after it dried more . . . I (perhaps creepily?) have lots of pics from all my old BFP progressions (sticky and not) so I obsessed over them a while and came back to thinking I just have to see what tomorrow brings. I briefly thought about calling for betas, but at least for me my frers have always reflected the betas pretty accurately so I'm going to save my money and try to be zen.
-
@Tionn3: @jhd: Thank you
this morning with a fresher mind I decided to just rebook my flight to today and (I hope!) beat the storm. I'd also miss stuff at work Friday afternoon back home if I get stuck here, and I'd really prefer not to have to postpone the appointment. I might be more tempted to be stranded if I was in SoCal, but I'm in the north and it has not stopped raining since I arrived. Of course, the weather in California is still always better than East Coast! @Tionn3: I'm really sorry your cycle decided to be weird right before starting testing. Boo.
@knittylady: Since those tests use urine - not blood - sometimes it can even be positive after you o because it takes time for LH to reach the urine. I would definitely DTD at the first sign of positive. It's apparently bad if the egg is released and there's not sperm already waiting, because it starts to decay right away and if it gets fertilized after starting to decay - but before it's had a chance to disintegrate - its more likely to die after being fertilized.
@bhbee: I'm sorry, tests can suck at consistently getting darker even when everything is fine.
-
@Tionn3: I'm so sorry. I'm on cycle 22 so I feel your pain.
Dealing with people talking about babies is so difficult, especially when you are keeping your own experience quiet or only telling a few close friends. It's so personal it's not like you want to broadcast why these conversations make you uncomfortable. Does she know you are trying?
-
@periwinklebee: Beautifully said.
-
@jhd: OMG please post a picture of that cake!!!
-
@snarkybiochemist: Dude you need to have a conversation with your sister about her NOT BRINGING IT UP ANYMORE. You have the right to set boundaries and she should respect them!
-
@knittylady: Love the baseball metaphor.
-
@bizwitch: Oh I know, I think she is having trouble with boundaries because I am so open about whats going on with my mom and she really thinks she is being helpful.
-
@snarkybiochemist:
re: your big cry. Glad your husband was able to listen and be supportive.(Sorry I'm just catching up after a few days away. Funny how easy it is to be distracted BEFORE you O.
