@Becky: keep us posted!!
@MamaBear87: I hope itโs not AF!!
@Sams Mom: do you remember when you got your bfp with your son? When is AF due?
@rockinghorse: welcome and good luck!!
my temp has stayed high so Iโm semi hopeful but who knows. Iโll be 9dpo tomorrow and Iโm contemplating using a frer to test in the morning. ๐ค
-
@starlitsky: at 6w3d because I wasn't even paying attention to my cycle until I updated my period tracker on my new phone and saw that I was 2 weeks late. So I drive myself extra crazy wondering how soon I would have tested positive... O and I had 3 positive clear blue digitals at home with like afternoon-no-hold pee, but then tested negative twice in my doctor's office at 8w1d.
I wish I had the blissful ignorance of not knowing how hard it is to get pregnant again.
And as you might have noticed, I'm always in camp POAS, so I might be a bad influence on your decision making
-
@Sams Mom: ahh thatโs right! I guess you werenโt a POAS addict yet back then!
Hmm thatโs weird you tested negative at 8w!!
I just remembered I have a box of expired frer from last time so maybe Iโll use one of those tomorrow!
-
Ok so kinda freaking out because I took an FRER digital test just now and it was a completely unexpected YES....and then I had (TMI) light brown discharge when I wiped which is the first sign of my period. So maybe a chemical or a bad test? It took the full 3 minutes to show up too and with my first pregnancy it was so fast. Iโve had a chemical before and it was red the whole time. So confused and that yes was SO unexpected.
-
@Becky: Hi, Becky! Three minutes is within the normal time frame for a BFP! That is wonderful news! I do understand your fear upon seeing spotting/dischage; however, women spot for a multitude of reasons and very light spotting or tinged discharge at the start of pregnancy is extremely normal, especially if you are predisposed to spotting in your usual cycle. Pregnancy spotting can be caused by hormonal shifts, implantation, an increase in blood volume and vessels during pregnancy, cervical irritation during intercourse, or pregnancy loss. I would only worry if the blood is bright red (not brown, pink, plum, or rusty in color), is increasing in flow and is accompanied by very heavy cramping. Of course, if this is a definite concern of yours, call your PCM, OBGYN, or local immediate medical center to administer a beta and to check you out. Otherwise, CONGRATULATIONS!
-
@Kaohinani: Ah thanks! Still so confused because I thought it took longer to get a bfp on a digital.
-
@Becky: it usually takes 50 mui HCG for a clearblue digital. I have had 2 false positives on the FRER digitals, so I'd test with a regular line test to confirm.
-
@Becky: do you have any other tests? Good luck!!
BFN for me at 9dpo today but I know itโs still early.
-
@Sams Mom: Checking in. How are things with you?
-
@Kaohinani: not a lot going. I've been hot flashing on and off the last couple days again, negative test this morning, boob pain on occasion, and creamy/lotiony CM out the wazoo
-
@Sams Mom: Sorry about the negative HPT. You are still early though, correct? I'm hoping all those symptoms lead to good things.
-
@Kaohinani: today is 11 dpo
-
@Sams Mom: Still early enough.
-
@starlitsky: So it was in a 3 pack which had one FRER regular pink dye, one FR Gold Digital, and one that youโre supposed to use the day of. I took the regular one first and got another white line last night. This morning I couldnโt help it and took the digital which was positive. Then this evening I took the last one which seems like itโs a cheapoโit says to take it the day of your missed period. That had nothing (no white line).
-
@Becky: I hate hpt limbo. Iโm sorry you are going through this. I would take another FRER (non-digital) in the morning.
-
Hi ladies. I got a BFP yesterday and today it was darker, but I'm having pretty bad cramps, just like I get before my period. I'm freaking out that I'm having another chemical like I did last cycle....
-
@Lahela017: Those are strong lines! Cramping is ok without flow and spotting is ok without heavy cramping. Your body is gearing up for some serious work. I've got all my fingers crossed for you, and keep us posted!
-
@Sams Mom: Thanks! It's horrible not being able to do anything but wait and see.....
-
@Lahela017: That has to be the worst! I would go ahead and make your 8 week appointment with your OB. No matter what happens I would maintain the appointment. Obviously we want it to be a good thing, but if it turns into another loss (it won't, it won't, it won't), then you should talk to your doctor anyways.
-
@Lahela017: I got bad cramps very early in my second (successful) pregnancy, similar to what I get before my period. It was bad enough that I did not test early.
-
@Lahela017: Cautious congratulations! Fingers crossed!
-
@Lahela017: congrats! Hope it's sticky for you!
@Sams Mom: how are you feeling?
I think I'm likely out. Haven't started yet but spotting and cramping and feel like I'm going to -
@MamaBear87: I'm not feeling anything this month that makes me think pregnant... So I am probably out. Tested negative again this morning on an easy@home 12 dpo.
When people ask me about when we're having another, I just tell them "Well, we've been fucking like rabbits for 16 months now... so maybe this is the one"
I'm scared to start though, next month will be my last allowed cycle of Clomid; and I don't know what is next... I just feel defeated.
-
@Sams Mom: usually these are people I like who mean well so I try not to be a bitch but it's just ugh.
We've decided not to do any infertility interventions so I feel you on feeling defeated and that there's nothing you can do. I just want a baby and instead just get my period over and over
Eta I think I will be taking a break from hb. It's just too hard to see all the positive tests for me. I'm still not feeling 100% anxiety wise and I think this is making it worse maybe. Idk. Just feel like I need to try something different
-
@Lahela017: Congratulations!
-
@Sams Mom: Awe, Sam's Mom. I'm sorry. I know how you feel COMPLETELY. (AND your sex life or reproductive success is NO ONE'S business unless you wish it to be. I loathe when people ask about if my hubs and I are [or AREN'T] going to have a #3. Grrrrr!
-
@MamaBear87: I understand and completely respect your decision. *hugs* TTC is a b*tch at times and is emotionally draining. Please know though, I'm going to miss reading your updates.
-
@MamaBear87: In the last 6 months or so I've been really open with people I know about our struggles so far, so I just don't get many well meaning comments anymore... thus the bitch response. I shall miss you when you take a break, we seem to be cycle buddies pretty regularly; but I totally get needing to take a break.
@Kaohinani: I don't mind answering questions, especially amongst other women trying. He hasn't mentioned it yet, but he also won't tell me what is next because he says maybe we won't need what is next. Also I make him make all my decisions for me because I am indecisive and he has a lot more knowledge on the front than I do... So he tells me there is no point in telling me either because I will just make him choose anyways.

@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: thanks ladies. I will miss you all as well
-
@Sams Mom: "When people ask me about when we're having another, I just tell them "Well, we've been fucking like rabbits for 16 months now... so maybe this is the one"
OMG I almost dropped the baby when I read that one I was laughing so hard.
-
@yellowbeach: my mom has prayed for me to have more cooth/tact at times for at least the last 20 years of my life... ๐คฃ I feel bad for disappointing
-
@Sams Mom: You wouldn't be you (or as funny) with that cooth/tact that your mom has been praying for!
-
@MamaBear87: Who is going to be my progesterone symptom rationalizer? Since about 2 hours ago I have had a weird crampy feeling at like the top of my uterus? and lower back pain... So you know, I might be pregnant and all.
-
@Kaohinani: Ha! Thanks, I'll make sure to tell my mom that some people like it... Or at least find it entertaining
-
@Lahela017: congrats on your bfp
and hope everything goes well!! @MamaBear87: will be thinking of you
@Sams Mom: I will symptom spot and POAS with you!
bfn for me today at 10dpo.
-
@starlitsky: Good, that might be bad for us though feeding off of each others POAS addiction without a voice of reason!
10 dpo is pretty early, so you're definitely still in it! I am absolutely freaking starving! I had a very hearty lunch of leftover chicken & rice casserole, just ate a bag of trail mix, and am eyeballing one of my muffins that are rationed for work breakfast. Ahhhhhhh
-
@Sams Mom: hahaha Iโll try not to go toooo crazy!
when is AF due for you? Mine is due tomorrow or Wednesday so the next couple of days are key 
-
@starlitsky: Either late tomorrow night or early Wednesday morning is the usual arrival time.
-
@Sams Mom: ahhh ๐ค for both of us! Will you be using frer or sticking to easy@home? I might break into my new pack of frer tomorrow morning and use a wondfo too.
