Hellobee Boards

@BadgerMom: definitely hold out. I’m like, 13 DPO and still testing and still getting pretty faint positives and it’s making me nervous. They are getting darker but still! Nausea kicked in yesterday so I’m hopeful this one isn’t a CP but I’m still not even late yet.

@Ms.Mermaid: I'm 3dpo a frer would totally show right?!

@LAZB: @Ms.Mermaid: I'm irrationally freaked out about twins. Cousins on both sides have them and it just seems completely unmanageable for like a year. Plus I'd automatically risk out of my birth center

@LAZB: hubby wanted them the first go round and I was like you're seriously insane. One cousins twins are natural and the other are surrogate twins so they put 2 embryos in. Fingers crossed for single positives

@Ms.Mermaid: if it makes you feel better most of the twin bfp I've seen are screaming before you even miss your period so I'd try not to worry

@Ms.Mermaid: With my first, I tested with Wondfos on 8 and 10 dpo. Stark white negatives. I tested with a FRER on 12 dpo and it was a solid clear line. I don't think I got a solid line on a Wondfo until after I missed my period. If you're really worried about seeing a darker line I would go out and splurge on another FRER.

I held out and didn't test this AM. I think I'll test tomorrow morning since DH will be home. Still feeling nauseous, so I'm either pregnant or have a low level version of the stomach bug going around. Both are probably equally probable lol. My temp is still up but not climbing. I've bounced between 98.6 and 98.4 the last 4 days, with yesterday and today being 98.4. I'm also gassy/bloaty but that's been going on since like 3dpo. I've had some VERY mild cramping, but that's gone away for the last couple days, and I've been feeling some pinching sensations. I've never watched my PMS symptoms that closely to know if all this is usual or not. I don't seem to have any PMS symptoms that stand out enough to really know whether they're there or not there every month.

Got the OK to trigger tonight! LH is starting to surge, lining is just over 8 and I have one dominate follicle just over 20. The other one is too small at 14. IUI #2 scheduled for tomorrow and Friday!

@Mrs Lavender: Good luck!!!

@Mrs Lavender: Good luck!! we'll be thinking good thoughts

So I think I might be going crazy...I'm not temping or charting, just tracking cycles with some apps on my phone. I'm CD15 and normally have a 26-27 day cycle.

Not sure if this is ovulation pain or not, but having like dull ache, kind of like cramps, in what feels kind of like my right groin area, kind of straight across from my hip bone. Is that what ovulation pain feels like? It is also possible that I might have tweaked something muscle wise racing at a swim meet this weekend LOL. But I've never really paid attention to ovulation symptoms prior and I'm pretty sure I had something similar to this last month too on CD16?

Or I am going crazy...this is probably more likely.

@yogifish: It definitely sounds like that's what it could be, especially if its happening around the same time each month and the time line makes sense. I definitely been more in tuned with my body since TTC and have been noticing all kinds of twinges, pinches, & pain that just make my mind go crazy.

@MrsMom: how stressful, I'm so sorry about your mom!! Things are just crap right now, huh? I hope they get better. Sending hugs.

I'm out. 11 DPO and stark white on a wondfo (last time with DS I had a clear positive on a wondfo at 9DPO so that's why I tested today). Not too bummed bc this month we were really NTNP, not so much TTC, but we did BD the day before O so there was a chance, also my skin has been HORRENDOUS the past few days, but I guess that's unrelated. I also do not feel pregnant- I looked back at fertility friend from the TWW when I got pregnant with DS, and I was having a lot of symptoms.

Feb I guess I'm officially starting to TTC, so will begin Mucinex and have an acupuncture appointment a few days before O.

@Ginaandcorey: Thank you! When it rains, it pours! hopefully this was just a couple bad days and a bunch of good ones ahead. Had a good cry last night and I've decided to keep moving. I'm still hopeful maybe my OPK's will start changing.

@yogifish: my o pain is generally me going, “I feel so bloated and uncomfortable” then “why does my side hurt?” then “am I dying? Is this appendicitis?” Then I check my app, see what CD it is, and take some Advil. Yours sounds milder but I chalk any pain below the belly button between CD 10-20 up to O pain.

@AFC061018 @mrsmom I believe the active ingredient in Mucinex, guafenesin, thins out your mucus. So if you're congested, thinner mucus is easier to clear, and if you're TTC, makes it easier for the sperm to get where they need to. I actually buy the plain guafenesin so I'm not taking all the other stuff for sickies, they sell it at CVS. I do half a tab 2x a day, from 1 week before O to 3 days after O.
