@Kaohinani: what have you done to my cycle this month woman!? Your early ovulation is throwing me off 🤣 I'm CD 11 today and my OPKs are already starting to look like I'll have a positive tomorrow instead of Tuesday or Wednesday.
@magnolia: digitals do take more HCG, and I'm not really sure what they problem would be with an expired test (false positive or false negative); but you're not out until AF shows
-
@Sams Mom: OH, no! I'm so sorry!
Our cycles are aligning!
As for me , my temps were amazing for a bit there ... Yesterday, 5 dpo, they plummeted .31 and today (6 dpo), I'm down another .23! I did temp an hour earlier today because the dogs had to go out (Grrrr!). Not very promising on my end unless they can make it back up.
-
Ugh, here we go again, the torture of “is my line darker” while I wait for betas. I emailed my doc, hopefully I get my first draw today, but in the meantime, I feel like my test was darker yesterday
-
I’ll add a better picture when everyone is up, and also, those are cracks in the paint, not hairs lol
-
@LAZB: Hun - they look the same to me 🤔 ... which isn't bad at all!
-
@LAZB: they look about the same to me, and if they're only a day apart your levels haven't got to double yet. Keep us posted on your levels, and try not to stress (I know it's easier to say than apply)
-
@LAZB: I think they both look the same! I bet your lines will be darker tomorrow. Try to not worry. I know it’s tough. I went through this last month, and I agonized over line darkness. Mine were never this dark.
-
@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: thanks ladies, I logically know, but it’s hard to do!
@Jessiemuller88: thanks, I went through this last month too, but my lines were this dark -
@LAZB: I know... last month was hard! But I feel good about this for you. It’s already a super strong line. Like @Sams Mom said, your levels haven’t had time to double. When I was pregnant with DS, my lines never got darker than yours are now.
-
@Jessiemuller88: thanks again
last month was hard, hopefully this month Will work out better for both of us
-
Ok, took my crazy up a notch, but I actually feel a little better. I took a better picture when the test was a little more dry (about 30 minutes so better to compare to yesterday’s test) and put it in light box on ff to analyze the darkness, and today’s is a little darker. Ok, now I wait for blood work.
-
@LAZB: I love your level of crazy, because I would do that too.
-
@LAZB: I'm happy that you are a little more comforted.
To all the ladies: I wrote this really early this morning so IDK if anyone actually saw it OR just hasn't had it happen so no one commented.
My query is as follows (after you read through the whole speil. Lol -- see affixed). -
@Kaohinani: Since it is an open circle from being taken earlier than usual (might use a temp converter to get an idea of what it should have been), it could maybe not be a continued dip. I've never experienced implantation while temping so I'm not of much help in that realm.
I would use the temp converter and then wait it out unfortunately is the only other thing you can do.
-
@Sams Mom: Thank you! I just did. The converter added + .1 so I'm still dipping. Guess it is still "wait-n-see." Really need some hope here.
-
@Kaohinani: your temp isn't an indication of pregnancy. So I wouldn't be too concerned yet
-
@Kaohinani: sorry, I was worked up and didn’t even read before posting this morning. I agree with @MamaBear87: that temps don’t necessarily mean anything at this point. Try to stay positive!
-
@Sams Mom: @Mamabear87: @Lazb: Thank you.
*sighs*
I'm just hopeful.... Or at least trying to be. I got both an "implantation dip" and triphasic chart with my previous pregnancies so I REALLY search for those "signs" on my charts. Every month, I get a fallback rise on days 2 or 3 dpo but I usually don't get significant "dips" until before AF. REALLY hoping this dip isn't significant to an early AF!!! -
@LAZB: it definitely looks darker to me ! Fingers crossed for you!!
-
@LAZB: Congratulations!
@Kaohinani: I don't find that the shape of my chart indicates anything until later in the cycle. FWIW my charts for my two BFPs look very different from each other.
-
Annnnd I forgot my afternoon OPK at home
-
@mdf106: thanks:)
@magnolia: oh good, thank you! -
@Kaohinani: sorry I’m of zero help! I have never temped or charted my cycles.
-
@Sams Mom: can you test after work? I feel I get my best OPK results in the late afternoon.
-
@Jessiemuller88: I usually test around 2 and then again at like 6-7ish. Depending on how late I am up tonight I might test as soon as I get home around 5:20 and again around 10:30 maybe
-
@Sams Mom: ugh, I hate that! I’ve done that before when I was working
-
@mdf106: Thank you. I appreciate that information ... if I ever do get pregnant again (F'x), maybe my BBT cycle will be different 3X around as well.
@Jessiemuller88: It is okay!
-
@Sams Mom: because my chart looked weird last month I'm doing opks
-
@MamaBear87: o no! Hopefully Ava is clear this month
-
@LAZB: congrats btw!! Fingers crossed numbers are good
-
@Sams Mom: she was decently clear I just think we might have missed a prime day since my temp went up 2 days and then dipped
-
@Sams Mom: got ya. Well hopefully you catch it tonight!
-
Hcg is 44
I think it should be higher -
@LAZB: aren't you only 12dpo? I'd think that's a pretty solid number
-
@LAZB: if you're at 44 today, it would have been 22 on Saturday (11 dpo), 11 on Thursday (9 dpo), 5.5 on Wednesday (7 dpo). And that is if you have exactly 48 hour doubling times.
Don't worry too much until you see what your doubling looks like on Wednesday.
-
@MamaBear87: I am 12 or 13 dpo, I just was looking at betabase and though I should be closer to 70?
@Sams Mom: that’s true, Wednesday will be more telling -
@LAZB: Sam's mom is correct that it's all about the doubling!
-
Since I never get opks this positive and we all like to look at sticks. Here's hoping for this month!
-
@MamaBear87: WOW! That is a strong positive!
-
@MamaBear87: those look great!
last month was hard, hopefully this month Will work out better for both of us
