Hellobee Boards

@fuzzypeaches: yay! I’m so happy to see your test today! A friend of mine started out with a super faint and slow progression, just like yours, and she is 20 weeks now! 🤞

@fuzzypeaches: eek it’s way darker today!! Fingers and toes and everything crossed for you! Did you say when you were having another beta?

@bees_knees: I went this morning I am checking for results like every 20 min 🤣 I’m at a baby shower this morning actually so I was hoping for good news to get me through it without a meltdown lol.

@karenbme: Thank you (for the hand sympathy), and -- thank you (for complimenting my chart)!

@fuzzypeaches: Thinking of you! Fingers crossed!

@Kaohinani: How is your thumb??

I've been silently following along. Not too much to say. I'm 2dpo. For whatever reason I needed to take a step back this month, I didn't take a single OPK. This killed part of me because I normally WANT ALL THE DATA, but the other part of me just wanted to chill the eff out.

Now I'm researching the latest and greatest nausea remedies because, duh--data. I had horrible nausea last time and I need something to research during the TWW.

@SweetCaroline: Thanks, hun! It is still sore but I'm sure it will be fine.

As for taking a step back ... we all have to a one point or another. Hey, so many of us has conceived on NTNP or "relaxed cycles," that, who knows, it could end up that you get a big, gorgeous BFP this cycle! 🤞 Also, you know you are in the right place for data junkies... You've got Sam's Mom, Yellowbeach, Karenbme, and me all on this board so you are in awesome company there! 🤓🧐🤣

@Yellowbeach: Does your DD do this?

When T used to watch it, she would stutter then snort! 🤦‍♀️🙄🤣 A legit habit for her. It became too much for my poor DH and he forbade her to watch it in his presence any more! I think he would have preferred the British accent.

@SweetCaroline: totally get the wanting a more relaxed cycle, but also feeling like you need all the data! I’m somewhere between 7 and 9 dpo and even though it’s a real long shot that I conceived this month (we weren’t trying but drank too much wine and missed using a condom once around the right time) it’s KILLING me not to know exactly so that I know when would be reasonable to POAS. What did people do before the internet/smartphone apps/etc???

I keep repeating to myself, “I’m not pregnant, I’m not pregnant...” AF is due Thursday, so hopefully I’ll know then. Or if my boobs get sore, that’s a dead giveaway for me.

@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: hahahaha
Maybe now that I’ve written that it will show up Murphy’s law etc

Ps I was talking to my cousin and she was saying something about “ménage a moi” 🤣 which thankfully I understood thanks to you guys! Lol! I’ve never heard that and now I’ve heard it twice

@fuzzypeaches: I hope they don't make you wait until Tuesday!... My little heart can't take it! I am NOT a patient lady! 🤣

@fuzzypeaches: 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 I'm hoping so as well! They can pay the poor sap overtime but I NEED to know if your beta has doubled... If not, I'm going to have my phone in my hand (constantly checking in) until Tuesday! 🤦‍♀️

I am realizing that the POAS boards are the most active boards on HB! Between POAS (OPK & HPT), chart updates, convos on TTC and TWW, and misc chitchat about the most random stuff, we make for a helluva busy board! 🤦‍♀️ I blame myself and Sam's Mom for the majority of the random chitchat (although Yellowbeach, Paranundrum, and a few select others [no names ] are guilty, too!) 🤣

@Sams Mom: Yeah, we definitely have a "problem." 🤣

@fuzzypeaches: Ugh, waiting on results is so hard. Do you know if they put it in stat or not? When I was getting serials for my ectopics, the stats usually came back in like 6 hours, but if they didn’t put it in as stat it took up to a day. If you got it done at a hospital the long weekend shouldn’t be a problem though. I got results on July 4th last year.

I definitely appreciate this board for more than just POAS conversation. Unfortunately HB isn’t nearly as active as when I first joined, but I can always count on you ladies for comic relief, commiseration, cheerleading and empathy when needed. ️️

Oh, and I diagnosed three unplanned unwanted pregnancies today and helped another woman who is in the middle of testing for a potential trisomy diagnosis. A trying but rewarding day overall. Oh and I’m proud of myself that I haven’t tested yet (way too early). Go me.

Omg and sorry for taking over this board today 🤣 but I love these threads! It reminds me of the old hello bee and why I loved it so much

@yellowbeach: and what did you decide.after that Google search?! I'll be 8dpo next Friday and I Rreeaallyy want to test then. I can probably wait until Sat AM/9dpo, but that's it.
