Hellobee Boards

@ChiCalGoBee: thank you sweetness! I really hope you see O soon and a BFP as well!! FX

@Crystal: SUPER easy to use. Yes, the refill sticks are pricey, but it seems like once it knows your cycle you should only have to use 10 per cycle. Even on this first cycle it helped because I wasn't anticipating O any earlier than this upcoming Thurs/ Fri (and thought Sunday was most likely!) and it had me on "high" fertility alert since last week. I think had I just used the OPK I wouldn't have been looking out for signs this early. Now I have at least two weeks to see if my timing worked well , but I am very happy with the monitor. FWIW, OPKs agreed with monitor (and EWCM), so I'm trusting all three.

My sleep is garbage today. It's 3:53 AM and I have probably been up since around 2:45 AM and can't go back to sleep. :: sigh ::
I wish my sleep wasn't so impacted by my hormones.

@Adira: Yikes on the stark white OPK! I bought my first ones online and they're arriving today--I plan to take one tonight for kicks (this actually should be my fertile week) and I'm terrified of what you said...that it'll feel like a BFN if there's nothing! Good luck, mama.

@Adira: Fingers crossed you see a super dark line in no time! Based on CM and general timing from when I got my MC BFP, I should be ovulating this week. But, this is my first full, "normal" cycle post-MC, so I'm afraid things are still out of wack. I like to think I can wait until next cycle to use the OPKs....but let's be honest. There will be sticks in the house. I will be peeing on them. (They come via Amazon today. Wish me luck! Haha.)

@Lady Hibiscus: I like how you just keep moving me up on the list.

Okay, here's my update: I am a mess of contradictions today. It's 13 DPO. I got a very clear, but *very* faint pink line on a Wondfo this morning. Maybe (?) a shadow on a FRER, but we'll call that a BFN. FMU was very light for some reason. I had some major cramping at 10-11 DPO but nothing since then. My symptoms include fatigue, headache, nausea, and I am really emotional. All things that could be PMS related. So... basically I *feel* pregnant, so I am letting those stupid Wondfo lines get my hopes up even though I *know* those tests aren't worth a darn thing. I will keep POAS and hoping AF stays away - she is due Friday.

@theotherstark: ((hugs)) Thank you. I have to keep my hopes realistic at this point... I got a very similar line at 9 DPO and nothing between then and this morning. I HOPE it's the real thing, but my expectations are low.

Is your picture from the Li River????

@septca: OMG, that sounds soooooo promising!!!!!!! It needs to be tomorrow already so we can get an update!!!!

@MrsMccarthy: and @Adira: Thanks, ladies. I have such a love-hate relationship with Wondfos... on one hand, they were much more sensitive for me than FRERs when I got my first BFP, but on the other hand, I never had an evap when I was TTC DD... this time I get one every single time. Today's line was a line (not an evap), but I am super paranoid that it is just a bad batch.

@MrsMccarthy: I am so sorry that you are going through this with your son. I really feel for you because I am in a very similar position. What if you trying sleeping separately before night weaning? I know DD sleeps better and wakes less often when we sleep separately, so sleep training her was actually really easy once she was established in her crib. How is his eating during the day? On days DD doesn't eat enough she wakes so much earlier to nurse. But ((hugs)), because weaning is *so* hard - I am really struggling with taking the next step right now, but have promised myself that I am going to drop the bedtime feed starting next week.

@septca: PICS!!!! SO excited for you!!!

LOL. There is no way a line that faint would show up in a picture. But you guys are cracking me up with your enthusiasm.

@septca: Hahahaha, you know, there are some things you can always expect from HB. And super duper levels of enthusiasm about peepee on a stick is definitely one of them. Fingers crossed for you, lady!

@HolisticMama: Good luck! Hope your positive comes soon!!!!

@septca: sounds promising! Fx!

@Adira: I used to test at work - I would just wrap the test in a piece of TP, put it in my pocket, and then look at it back at my desk.

@littlek: I am saying it's a shadow because there seems to be *something* there - it's not the stark white FRER I am used to seeing... but it's not enough of a line for me to be hopeful. The test itself is a bit problematic because it has a line in the plastic covering of the test area right next to where a second line would show up, so I am not sure whether I am actually seeing something or if I am just seeing the shadow of that line. Does that make sense? I just pulled up the picture of my BFP with DD and the FRER is so light you can barely see it. SO. I'll test again tomorrow and see what's what.

My fear and gut instinct is that I am technically KU, but that it's going to be a C/P.

@septca: Thanks! I was curious how that worked!

@septca: how does todays result compare to your BFP with LO? similar?

@littlek: Well, with DD I got my + at 10 DPO and today is 13 DPO... the lines on the Wondfos are similar, although today's is slightly less visible. My DH could not see the line with DD. I have pictures (of course!) and my test line was significantly darker by 12 DPO last time. All I can do is keep POAS, I guess. But, like I said, I do not have high hopes right now. I think the line should be darker by 13 DPO than it was this morning.
