@Gigi2: Sorry about the BFN, but you aren't out yet!!
-
@snowjewelz: Oh, that's SUCH a good point! It's like, the more you know, the more you know what you did "right," meaning it's more difficult to understand a BFN. Dangit. I knew there was a down side! Either way, fingers crossed that there's a BFP in both of our near futures!
-
@winniebee: Have a wonderful time away! I hope you can enjoy yourself and then come home to a BFP!
-
@snowjewelz: @winniebee: @septca:
Negative as expected. I don't mind seeing a neg. Maybe as this journey goes on it'll start to bug me, but, for now testing inadvisably early is still just fun.
I'm also testing so early because I'm really not sure how early I'm testing. I haven't had a period since 2005. I got a positive OPK on 3/1, but, it was the first day I'd ever taken one. So, I don't know if I caught the surge dead on, or, if it might've been taping down from what would've been an even darker positive a day or two earlier. Until I get a period or a positive I won't feel sure I actually had a successful ovulation at all.
I'm also still peeing on LH sticks every day in case that was a failed attempt at ovulation and there's another one still coming. This is quite the stick habit I've got going...hurrah for cheap bulk tests from Amazon.
-
@mfa_lady: Haha ignore me and continue to feel good! I think too much
I'm also a weird one on HB where I will not test! I am so afraid of extra disappointment.
-
So I gave in and tested at 9DPO and got an expected BFN. Still not a rollover, but I feel AF coming on, which is okay as I'm ready to get out of the terrible TWW!
FX for everybody coming up to POAS!!
-
@winniebee: have a great time in NOLA! I have always wanted to go. I hope you come home to a BfP.
@lilyofthewest: you aren't even close to out yet! My son didn't implant till around 11 DPO. Wishing you the best!!!
So I actually have some pretty good news! Today is CD16 and I just got a peak on my monitor and an early morning positive OPK! I used I ovulate CD15. This suggests ill ovulate cD17 or 18. My LP will still determine a lot but I do find this encouraging. Perhaps cutting out all day weaning along with the B6 and cited are helping.
-
@MrsMccarthy: Yay! Hope this is a good pick-me-up for you today.
Fingers crossed for a BFP!
-
@mfa_lady: it really was. Thanks honey. I hope your TWW is going okay.
-
@MrsMccarthy: Yay! That is good news indeed
-
@HellOnHeels: 9 DPO is super early!! If AF doesn't show, try again tomorrow or Weds!
-
@MrsMccarthy: get you some BD, lady!!
-
1 DPO. Blah. Just throwing that out there. I *despise* the time between O and when it becomes socially acceptable to POAS/symptom spot.
-
@Gigi2: I hope you just have a late implantater! FX for you. @HellOnHeels: you too. I know it's hard not to feel out at this point but ovulation can be very hard to pinpoint exactly and babies can implant on the later side. Let's hope this is the case.
-
@septca: LOL @ socially acceptable. I feel like most of what we obsess about here would not be IRL! I really do hate those 1-10 DPO. Wondering "did the sperm meet the egg?" "what are they doing in there?"
-
@snowjewelz: Yep.
I am a total planner so I hate this part of the TWW because I spend way too much time thinking about how my potential EDD would affect travel/work/holidays/mat leave. I get myself all prepped and then get... a BFN. So fun!
-
@septca: I can't even think of those things b/c all I want is a BFP! I don't want my child to have a winter birthday (I have one and don't like it), but I rather just have a baby than not at this point lol.
My friend is due right around her best friend's out of state wedding so she had to decline being a bridesmaid and going
But of course she's more excited about having a baby haha.
-
@septca: Same. I'm all symptom spotting and telling myself it is impossible to have any pregnancy symptoms right now.
-
@MrsMccarthy: Great news!
@Radish: I think we are TWW buddies...ugh, the wait is killing me. I'm so sick right now and want to take some advil but i'm all like, "but what if i'm pregnant??"
Am i the only one who finds it hard to catch up on the thread sometimes?
-
@Freckles: Not at all! I don't really come on the weekends; last month we had a string of BFPs and I was like, wait who, what page?!
-
@snowjewelz: Yes, sometimes i'll have to go back a few pages and make sure i didn't already congratulate someone.
-
@Freckles: Yay! I had the worst headache yesterday - taking medicine never even crossed my mind since I haven't been taking medicine for the most part for 2 years (preg + BF).

@MrsMccarthy: Okay, im sick and super tired... so I might just be missing it, but I think Im not on your list. Here is my info again.
CYCLE DAY: 16, now Im on Cycle day 21
EXPECTED OVULATION AND POAS DATES: I thought it would be today... but nothing yet (It was cycle day 19!!) POAS will be 3/19.
CYCLE #: Its complicated, I guess #2
HOW HAS YOUR JOURNEY BEEN SO FAR AND WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO TRY THIS MONTH: Its been a little on the rotten side ready to look up. This is the second month TTC since miscarriage. Month #1 BFN... Month#2 decided to hold off due to insurance issues, this is Month#3 ready to roll... but off to a weird start. Please read below.
BABY #:2
IF YOU WERE A BREAKFAST CLUB CHARACTER WHICH ONE WOULD YOU BE?: Hmm... I don't know. Probably Brian. -
@mrsmccarthy: happy for your great O news today! hope you're on you're way to a bfp
I'm sorry for all you ladies out there early in the TWW but glad to know I have lots of symptom-spotting buddies. And LOVE it being "socially acceptable" here! Is it crazy to just test every.darn.day until AF comes?
-
@Brawly: sorry I just added you!
-
@MrsMccarthy: Woohoooo!!!
Hooray for those positive OPKs
-
So, like I mentioned before, I am weak and tested this morning. BFN, but that was expected as this is pretty early (~8 or 9 dpo). I am in full symptom spotting mode, though, which isn't helping. This weekend I had moments where I felt really woozy (which I had with #1) and today I have felt so nauseated. It is likely due to the terrible food I ate all weekend/possibly getting sick, but we'll see!
@MrsMccarthy: hooray for O!
@Freckles: I miss things all the time. I just hope I don't seem rude when I miss congratulating some.
@Gigi2: Ha, at this point, I am considering testing twice a day until AF comes. I have lots of cheapies and I am incredibly impatient! -
@Gigi2: @Freckles: @theotherstark: @MrsScallop: @ChiCalGoBee: thanks darlings! It feels good to be out of limbo land. Now I am just praying for a long LP. Don't ask me what but I feel like this month won't be our BFP. I'm not even sad about it because it feels so inevitable to me so what I am really holding out for is an LP of 10 or more days. As soon as I O I plan to up the dosage of B6 and vitex I am taking in hopes of making that happen. I am also holding out hope that I can get my little boy to ease up on the evening nursing by then. We shall see.
-
@MrsScallop: bfn at this point is pretty typical. When you get past 11DPO it starts to get a lot less likely but even ten I've seen it happen. FX!
-
@MrsMccarthy: great news!!
-
@Freckles: if I miss a day of checking forget about it!!
-
I decided to wait to test until I'm late! But now I'm having all sorta of pinchy cramps lol. I brought one frer on my trip. Just one.
-
@ChiCalGoBee: for sure I am going to wait to see if AF doesn't show, don't want to waste anymore FRER's.
@MrsScallop: in the same boat testing buddy... FX for no AF so we can test again!
-
I also tested early like some of you ladies at 9 dpo this morning, which was of course BFN. I thought I was 10 dpo but then I looked at my ovia app and I'm only 9 dpo. Oops. A few weeks ago I said I'd POAS on the 14th, but I ovulated earlier than usual, so I'll be testing again on the 12th (if I don't get AF tomorrow when it is expected), which will be 11 dpo.
-
@Kbee: FX for a BFP for you!!! I thought I could make it but gave in before we left for an event on Saturday. I think in my head I was like, "I should test so that I can know if I can drink or not!" Thankfully I wasn't as disappointed about the BFN because there would have been a bombardment of questions about the no booze.
-
@HellOnHeels: Ha, to be completely honest, I did the same thing on Friday! We left to visit the ILs and I didn't want to play that game yet if I didn't need to. They were really good at guessing what was going on when I was newly pregnant with #1.
-
Three cheers for all the ovulation that's been going on this week in here!
-
I'm hoping for a week full of BFPs, ladies!
-
@Radish: Ditto! Let's see those beautiful double lines!
I'm also a weird one on HB where I will not test! I am so afraid of extra disappointment.
Fingers crossed for a BFP!
I am a total planner so I hate this part of the TWW because I spend way too much time thinking about how my potential EDD would affect travel/work/holidays/mat leave. I get myself all prepped and then get... a BFN. So fun!
