    @PurplePumps: sooooooo....I think I do see a faint line. Swear, I'm not just saying it. Didn't even have to search. It's true that it's pretty faint so hard to say 100% but I do see it. I think if you tested tomorrow AM you'd see something more obvious. Tempering any of my excitement right now. 😬

    @SweetiePie: haha, thanks. I'm holding neutral today.. feeling the same as if I didn't test... like it's a total toss up. I swear sometimes I think its like those optical illusions, where if you look at something long enough something appears out of no where. I feel like my eyes just put a shadow of the control line over on the test spot.

    @PurplePumps: the more and more I look at it the easier I can see it. It's a squinter for sure but I actually think it's pretty obvious. What are the chances we'd both have line-eye? 😜

    @PurplePumps: @SweetiePie: I see it too, so it's not just you. How many days past transfer are you? Sorry, there are so many to keep track of right now! It's definitely a squinter, so lots of prayers that it gets darker tomorrow.

    @NorthStar: 6days. Last time I waited until 7 days past transfer to test and it was obvious. I kinda thought itd be pretty obvious today if it was positive.. like how much can a day matter... haha. I hope a lot. These tests are also all like expired 11/14 too, so maybe it's not as sensitive? Ugh.. that is so sad.. it's been so long even my tests are almost 2 years expired!

    @Purple pumps I feel ya on the expired stuff! Since we're moving I've been going through everything and found a bunch of stim meds that are expired. I feel terrible that I didn't realize that and give them away before they expired. Does anyone know if those dates are real? Would anyone still want them?

    @PurplePumps: ok, then it is definitely early and using expired tests doesn't help either! Mine was definitely a squinter at 6 days past. Try to keep the hope and we are all praying for you!

    @PurplePumps: I see the line!! My line on my Wondfo looked like that yesterday and I was 6dp5dt. I have the pic if you would like me to post... I mean it was a definite squinter! I had a definite line on the FRER though. Test with a FRER for sure! Keep the hope and stay positive!! Thinking and praying for you!

    I see something there, @PurplePumps - totally a squinty line right where the line should be. Do you have any other tests to try again tonight or tomorrow?

    @momazon: i have more expired tests. Too cheap to spend 10 bucks on a frer lol.

    @PurplePumps: I will venmo you money for an FRER, that's how badly I want you to do it 😂😂

    @SweetiePie: LOL - that is hilarious!

    @PurplePumps: I would have totally express mail my extras ahead of time, if I knew all you had were expired tests!

    @PurplePumps @SweetiePie I'll totally chip in too so you can test more than once! Don't you feel the love @PurplePumps?

    All this is totally making me smile after having a rough conversation with my boss--thanks ladies!

    Lol, you ladies are too funny and sweet! I was just in a 2.5 hr meeting And had to pee sooooo bad, and I'm sitting there the whole time like damn i wish i had another test with me.

    @Winnie13: How did your progesterone drama pan out?

    @SweetiePie: It was fine! I supplemented for 2 days and then got back on track! They didn't seem to worry too much, just me and my crazy self! 😂😂
    @PurplePumps: I'm hoping to hear/see a FRER pic tomorrow!! Throw away those expired sticks! They are awful for your emotional well being anyway! Lol!

    This emotional rollercoaster is no joke... Everytime I feel a cramp I think it's all over, or if I don't feel anything I think it's all over! I refuse to google anything because that will just make me nuts (even more so than I already am). I am going to keep testing every morning until my Beta! Lol! I keep feeling my boobs throughout the day to see if they feel different... I'm just nuts!!
    I'm pretty sure I'm in complete just in shock though... that's the only word I can use to describe it. I'm so thankful and hopeful, but I'm not excited yet. I know I'm just trying to protect myself and I know can't think like that, but it's really hard. All I can do is keep praying for this little bean and leave it all up to God!

    @Sweetiepie what's the latest fert report? Are they biopsying soon?

    @winnie13 hang in there girl it is so hard for sure. I was running to catch the bus this afternoon and then freaked out like 30 seconds of running is going to cause my embryo to not implant??? Ugh the mind tricks....

    @SweetiePie: Your venmo post made me spit out my Coke Zero. But I agree - FRER!

  22. PurplePumps

    pomegranate / 3809 posts

    So... call me crazy, but I totally just pulled it out of the trash to take a look again, and I think I really do see a faint line now. Is it still valid.. it says read after 5 minutes.. but doesn't say how long after that it's good for.
    Am I crazy? Is it there? Any different from this morning?



    I would have done another test.. but I have the worlds worst bladder. I swear I pee like every hour or 2 throughout the day so I have to use FMU haha

  23. PurplePumps

    pomegranate / 3809 posts

    @Winnie13: I know how you feel. It's so hard to just let go and embrace it cause we know way too much about this process and how NOT easy it actually is. My cousin announced her pregnancy on social media at like 6 or 7 weeks. I'm like.. geez, it must be so nice to just get pregnant, and be so sure theres going to be a baby in 9 months and not have any worries about it at all. But try to enjoy it.. you're pregnant!!!

  24. SweetiePie

    honeydew / 7463 posts

    @PurplePumps: yup, I see it! Undeniable. I think the time limit thing is more like if it's stark white after 5 mins and then you let it dry, it might get an Evap line. BUT in my experience if you do see a faint bfp, and let it dry, it DOES get darker. 😊😄🎉

    PLEASE for the love of everything that is holy go buy an frer and take it tomorrow AM!

    @PurplePumps: I thought I saw it on the first one, too. Gotta get the FRER! Serious about the Venmo!

  26. Winnie13

    kiwi / 501 posts

    @SweetiePie: I love leaving squinters out for awhile! They definitely get darker!!! 😂😂@PurplePumps: I've seen the line both times now! Praying tomorrow it's much darker!! Thank you so much for your sweet words and encouragement! I keep trying to tell myself... enjoy the moment and enjoy being pregnant!
    @Mrs. Pajamas: Thank you friend! I thought the same thing when I got 2 running hugs the day after transfer!! The crazy things we think!! I'm having a hard time with my PIO too. I try all the tricks and nothing helps. My backside is just in pain!! I'm counting down until I can switch to Crinone (barring the price)! Hoping it gets better soon!

  27. SweetiePie

    @Mrs. Pajamas: Got a new update today - yesterday was day 5 and they were able to biopsy 2. Three of them are still growing and they think they'll biopsy tomorrow.
    One of them arrested.
    So as of right now it's looking like we have 5 to test! In which case I'm going to test them before we proceed with another retrieval. I have to take a rest for one cycle anyway, so in 2-3 weeks we'll know if we have anything and if so do a transfer! If not we'll start another stim cycle.

    pomegranate / 3809 posts

    @SweetiePie: that's great! It's been one pleasant surprise after another for you this cycle. Fx for great test results now!!

    So.... i managed a 4 hr hold, and i think it's pretty visible squinter now. I'm starting to get excited. Here's a pic with and without flash... I'm not crazy right?

    Hello Ladies,

    I'm 6dp5dt today and going crazy with the wait. So thought let me join you all. I did test at 5dp5dt and it was BFN. Still crossing my fingers!
    @purple pumps- Congratulations!!

  31. Amorini

    @PurplePumps: A cautiously optimistic "Yay!!!!" I'll continue lurking to see that undeniable FRER pop up!!

    @SweetiePie: Such a great report! IVF is crazy like that, right?! You just never know how it's going to go and when you're a statistic and when your gonna beat the crappy odds!! Hoping for some healthy embies out of your bunch.

    @Winnie13: I only did Crinone (never PIO) and while it's messy, I think it was better for me. To make it "affordable," I got some from free samples from my RE and then ordered the rest of what I needed from an overseas pharmacy (IVF pharmacy.com) where the cost was only $5 an applicator versus $15 in the cheapest US pharmacy (including Win). A couple of other girls had positive ordering experiences from this overseas pharmacy, too.

    @PurplePumps: Congratulations!!! You are pregnant!!! So happy for you!! ❤❤

    @TheHopingStar: Wishing and hoping for your BFP!!!
    @Amorini: thank you so much!! I'll definitely have to look in to that! I'm hoping my insurance will cover some costs too now that I'm pregnant (so weird to say)!

  33. Winnie13

    @SweetiePie: That's great news about 5!! Hoping you get a good embie from this batch and you can transfer!

  34. Mrs. Pajamas

    kiwi / 702 posts

    @swetiepie really worder full news about testing 5. That is a huge number!
    @purplepumps ok now I 100% see it. I was a little dubious before admittedly but having never taken a hpt I'm not as skilled as the other ladies here. Huge congrats!
    @thehopingstar welcome and good luck! I think you are at the same time post transfer as @purplepumps and I'm right behind. Today is 3dpFET for me. Good luck. We're all rooting for you.

    Little humor to start your day... I went on the wild side and took a digi, and it gave me the dreaded question mark! I ripped that bad boy right open and saw the 2 lines!! The things we do during the 2WW!! Crazy!

    pomegranate / 3809 posts

    @Winnie13: lol, i think I'm going nuts too. I've never poas this much before.
    Ok, its still light this morning, but totally there. Holy crap.
    Last stick pic. I only have 2 more left now...

    .... omg. Can't believe it.

    honeydew / 7463 posts

    @PurplePumps: I'm seriously holding back tears, I am SO happy for you. And see the one from last night dried darker too NOW will you do an frer so we can see that beautiful pink line???

  38. SweetiePie

    honeydew / 7463 posts

    @Mrs. Pajamas: I still can't believe you've never taken an hpt! It's practically a hobby for me 😂
    That and candy crush. I'm really well rounded.

    @TheHopingStar: 5dpt is very early! Do you think you will test again? Good luck! We are here for you!

    @Winnie13: Ha! In all of my storied career of poas ive never opened one! I hear about opening digital and even frer all the time but I've never actually done it! Digis are so expensive but you have to take another to see that word: "pregnant" 😊
