@fuzzypeaches: Iβve had so many bastard one-off frers mess with me so I totally get it, but I do think overall it looks great. Any one test can be problematic (especially at beginning hcg levels) due to sample concentration, the dye that happened to be on that stick, etc, etc. But I understand the trauma and Iβve had absolute meltdowns over such things in my poas times.
Sending you all the
that your beta and progressions look great! 
-
@fuzzypeaches: I just wanted to say Iβm hoping this is it for you, and I think the progression looks great so far. I see every test getting a tad darker. Hugs, hang in there!
-
@fuzzypeaches: I see progression! Iβm really hoping this is the one!
-
@bhbee: @Jessiemuller88: @LAZB: thanks ladies. Honestly the support of this board is everything
-
@fuzzypeaches: Whatβs your next step? POAS again in the AM or are you going to wait a bit to see solid progression?
-
@yellowbeach: Iβm going for a beta tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday. I would like to say I wonβt test and just wait but knowing me I will π€£
omg this process is crazy making. -
@MoonMoon: Good luck!
I'll add you to the board in a bit.@Marfi: Great news! Finger crossed everything works out!
Let me know when you want your POAS date added to the board.@fuzzypeaches: That looks good, I hope this is the one for you! You're just in time to grab some of that wonderful October baby dust magic!

@fuzzypeaches: The progression looks really good!! Hope this is it for you.
-
@fuzzypeaches: Fingers crossed for great numbers!!
-
@breakouttheicecream: @crazydoglady: @paranundrum: just went for my beta now so hopefully can update tonight
-
@fuzzypeaches:
-
I thought for sure this cycle was a dud because I was out of town right after my positive OPKs, but look!!! I couldn't even wait the two days for my missed period and it is solid
-
@codeitall: ooh congrats!
-
@codeitall: hurray!!!
-
@codeitall: woo hoo
!
-
@codeitall: Congratulations!!!
-
@codeitall: awesomeeeeee! Congrats!
-
Update!! My first beta at 12dpo is 50! Better than anything Iβve gotten in last year. Now I can move on to being anxious about Wednesday
-
@fuzzypeaches: Yay!!! 50 is basically textbook for 12dpo!! Fingers crossed for a great beta Wednesday!
-
@fuzzypeaches:
-
@codeitall: Congratulations! Let me know when you want me to add your BFP to the board.
@fuzzypeaches: Such great news to start off my workday! Fingers crossed for Wednesday!
-
@fuzzypeaches: This is such great news! Now the long wait until Wed though... are you working or able to stay busy?
-
@fuzzypeaches:
50 is great!
-
Thanks ladies. Iβm glad Iβm doing betas because analyzing these lines is giving me anxiety as it doesnβt look darker really. I wish I could just have a very clear progression so I could relax. @yellowbeach: Thankfully am super busy this week so hopefully time goes by fast! If the beta is reassuring on Wednesday I will go for another intralipid infusions on Friday
-
@fuzzypeaches: 50 is great! Fingers crossed for you on Wednesday. Seems like a really good start!
-
@codeitall: Yey! Congrats!!!!! Giving me hope!!!
@paranundrum: @breakouttheicecream: @fuzzypeaches: @bhbee: @yellowbeach: @QBbride: @crazydoglady:
Question for you savvy TTC buddies.
So I'm starting Cycle day 3 of TTC for #2.
I had my daughter a little too easy 5 years ago. Got off BC and two weeks later I had a BFP at 9dpo.
This time around.. not as easy as I got off BC in August and we are active bunnies.
But one thing I noticed is that- we use the Clearblue OPK with the smiley face. We BD the two days we get smileys and the 4-5 days prior. But then after the two days, once I'm back to the regular circle, hubby and I take a break for a few days. Kind of like woohoo we did it! Am I missing a crucial time?
Thanks ladies -
@LiliBillie: I don't have any experience with that brand, but have you thought about temping and charting in addition to using OPKs? That might give you a clearer picture of what is happening and when.
-
@paranundrum: Can you tell me about it? I'm adding pre-seed this month to the mix and going to try every other day all month vs only around O day. I have an addictive personality and trying to relax about it a little.. not so easy
-
@LiliBillie: I use those also and do exactly what you do, and have been successful. I find the lines of the cheap ones too stressful (obviously π€£) I usually try to get 1 or 2 before the happy face, day of happy face, and next day. I totally agree with using pre seed though
-
@LiliBillie: I'm not sure charting is the best option, if it might make you more anxious, but it does give a better picture of your cycle so it might go either way.
In general it's easy. You just have to take your temperature every morning at the same time before getting up and enter the data to a charting app of your choice. There are many, I use Fertility Friend. The app will do the rest and tell you when you have ovulated. It's useless in predicting OV, but if you use OPKs and/or track cm too, you can see how long after a positive OPK you actually ovulated and know for sure how many DPO you are.
It gets trickier if you work nights or have inconsistent waking times.
You can check their website there's a lot of information on TTC and all things related on there too.
-
while you're on your 2ww and every twitch, boob pinch, etc gives your paranoid self hope that maybe this is it.....
-
@chypmunk: π€ we alllll understand the ups and downs of the tww!!!
-
@chypmunk: I'm usually fine until about 9 or 10 dpo, but after that go crazy for a few days until I start spotting and know I'm out. During that few days I think about everything form "I'm sure it didn't work" to "But maybe it did, it's not totally impossible" and all the different "symptoms" I have this cycle vs. the last one. And then I'll get to "When would I be due, when can I make the announcement, how will I make the announcement, where will I put the crib...annnnnd I'm out."
I'm generally a pretty chill person, but TTC is a wild wild ride.
-
@fuzzypeaches: It's Wednesday!
-
@paranundrum: thank goodness.
Honestly my tests are lighter today so I am not expecting good news but a confirmation will be better than limbo.
-
@fuzzypeaches: all the hugs while you wait it out
-
@fuzzypeaches: Hoping for the best for you!
-
@fuzzypeaches: thinking of you today while you await a second beta
-
@fuzzypeaches: Hoping it was just an off test!
that your beta and progressions look great!
