Hellobee Boards

@spaniellove: I see a line! Cannot wait until trmw! Fwiw, (I know it wasn't trigger) my dollar store test showed barely anythin and I had a solid line in a frer.

@spaniellove: hmmm, I'm going to have to look up when I actually transferred.... When is your blood test? I know for sure I was scheduled to go in tues, but I started that fri before.... I want to say I had to go in day 12 from transfer? But I tested maybe 8dpt and 10dpo?

Btw, day 13 is long enough for hcg to be out of system!!! I am SO rooting for you! I remember testing on wondfo and got a faint line and I thought that didn't mean anything cuz I thought it had to be as dark as the test line.... But any squinter is a good thing! Crossing fingers and toes!

@spaniellove: I'm glad I checked in on the thread today -- my fingers are crossed for you!!!!

@spaniellove: thinking of you today!! Fx!!

@marionberry: @bluestripedbee: I doubt my husband would participate in an online community. I think that Mr. Bee tried to start something for men with the DADS section, but it doesn't seem to be too active.

@kentuckygirl: I hope AF has arrived for you by now and you're on to the next cycle with success

@Happygal: I think I'm going to switch to thinking about puppies more and less about trying to conceive.

@SpanielLove: i'm going to be watching like a hawk for updates today!

@Kentuckygirl: I told my DH that I thought the time when you know you are not pregnant and you're waiting for your period is probably the worst part of the whole cycle. I'm glad AF has arrived and it's onward and upward!

@Sweetooth: I support your puppy decision : ) I don't know if I answered you before, but we have a German Shepherd.

@spaniellove: Do not worry about the color of the lines. Mine took forever to get darker and I had a perfectly healthy baby. Some babies just emit much less hcg than others. As long as you're getting lines I think this is a good sign.

@spaniellove: I'm glad you're feeling better. You just have to hang in there two more days.

@mrs.someone: when are you testing? Your chart looks pretty good and I think you ovulated a day or two earlier than is marked.

@spaniellove: Cautiously optimistic for you! Hope tomorrow brings clear happy news

@marionberry: I'll come clean... I broke down and tested at 7dpo (because of the earlier O possibility) and have tested each day since then (11dpo today). BFNs of course Haven't yet tested today, but I plan to. I'm so very convinced this month! If I hadn't taken OPKs I'd agree that I O'd 2 days earlier, but I think its impossible to get a positive OPK 2 days after O, right?

@Mrs.Someone: did you get negative opk's the days before the positive? If so, then your date must be right. Good luck!

I just scheduled our first appointment with a RE. I don't know why I was so nervous. When the receptionist asked, "What is this regarding?" I sounded like a twelve year old...."ummmm....fertility?" We'll be heading in on the 21st.

Did your SO go with you for the first appointment? It seems like they'll mainly be interested my history for the first visit.

@Happygal: congrats! I have my first RE appointment next week. They told me DH should come if he can, because they'll want history from the two of us. I was also very awkward on the phone... "I'm calling being I've been trying to get pregnant and, um, I'm not getting pregnant, and so, um... yeah" basically. LOL

@Happygal: I would second @spaniellove about having your SO there for support, and for him to feel like a part of the process. My husband had paperwork to fill out for the first appointment, and I'm glad he was able to absorb some of the information that my doctor went over. It was a lot to take in. It also helps because then he is able to talk through the details of steps involved because he's informed. Hope you have a great first appointment!

@Shutterbug: I hope you have a great first appointment too!

@Happygal: My DH went with me for my first appt. I wanted him to be included. Also, we thought there were male fertility issues so I wanted the DH to talk to the dr if he had any questions.

@Happygal: My DH is very shy too but after me going to his urologist and him having to sit there while watching other men with their hands up my privates we've become much more open about things! I no longer feel bad leaving boxes of pads lying around the home, and he talks to people about IF. It's so much better to be a team than to potentially feel lonely or bitter or guilty.

@bluestriped bee: Hope your ultrasound tomorrow looks good!!

@spaniellove: ok that last one is for sure a BFP. I think your HCG so low because you're 2 days before your scheduled beta! But it's looking like good news! You're making me want to go buy some of those OSOM tests.

@bluestriped bee: I finally got my phone call with the results from this morning. Looks like one more night of injections for me, and then I trigger tomorrow night. So if tomorrow is your day too, we're definitely 2WW buddies! Maybe we should do something different this time, like a fertility dance every morning and night What that dance looks like? I do not know. It could be something like the electric slide. Or you could just turn on your favorite music and shake it

@mrscb: are you about a week ahead of us? Hope you're doing well! It turns out I have one follicle right now measuring at 18.4 and one at 13.6. So hopefully one more night of Bravelle and the trigger will help it grow, grow, grow! I hope yours did too!

@spaniellove: last test looks great and darker than the others which is fabulous. At these times your hcg is so low anyway. At my beta it was only 32 I think. So excited for your beta Wednesday!
