    @SupernovaJ: That line looks great!

    I'm 9dpo today, and feeling really out. My temperature is still up, but I just don't feel like I'm pregnant like I have with the last two. Told DH I would test on Wednesday, and then again Saturday if AF hadn't come yet, but I don't think this is our month. My boobs are sore, but they haven't gotten more sore as the month's gone on, and I felt implantation the last two times, but didn't this time, so we'll see but I'm feeling like it didn't happen.

    @karenbme: I had literally zero symptoms this TWW. None whatsoever, I felt so normal and had no sore boobs or even fatigue (until this past weekend). I thought I was out, too. I'm super in tune with my body and felt so many symptoms with my prior two that I was totally surprised by this BFP. It was so different. Good luck!

    @Sams Mom: I’m sorry you are feeling blah. I’m still rooting for you to get your BFP.

    I don’t have any more FRER so I took a wondfo this morning. It’s faintness worries me a bit, but it’s darker than I ever got with my two CP’s, so I’m hopeful.

    @Jessiemuller88: a wondfo has a higher threshold for positive, so your line should be a little lighter compared to FRERs. I want this one to be your sticky baby! Especially after your last couple months.

    @Jessiemuller88: What @Sams Mom said. My OB specifically told me not to compare across different brands because the lines can be so different. I’m pulling for you and your sticky bean, too!

    @Sams Mom: @Karenbme: I know they are less sensitive, but I still hoped to see a darker line than that. Thank y’all so much for your knowledge and support. It means so much to me!

    @Jessiemuller88: I agree with what everyone else has said and to add my own experience, I already had a positive digital clearblue test and my wondfo still was light like that when I got pregnant in May so don’t lose any hope! Praying this is it for you!

    @Jessiemuller88: try not to worry, it’s like comparing apples and oranges! Totally not the same. And even between the same brand, the dye can vary. The tests are not supposed to be quantitative. Hang in there!!

    PS if you really want to know, ask for betas. They’re much more reliable

    @karenbme: ahh sorry to hear about your non-symptoms. I know what you mean. Every time I’ve gotten pregnant, I’ve known 100% before the tests were positive, like not a doubt in my mind.

    @SupernovaJ: @QBbride: Thanks for the support. I know it might still be that it happens this month, but doesn’t seem likely right now. It’s sad because for our two losses I got pregnant the first month we tried, and I know it’s always different, but I’m worried about a long road this time or even what if those babies were our only chance...

    @karenbme: I’m sorry you are feeling this way. TTC is tough, but I don’t think those babies were your only chance. Month to month seems like an eternity, I know, but try to believe it will happen! It’s still early, and I’m so rooting for you!

    @karenbme: I am so rooting for you and know that your baby is out there. Hang in there, it really can feel like an eternity waiting during each cycle. The fact you got pregnant relatively quickly / easily is a great sign though.

    @Jessiemuller88: @SupernovaJ: Thanks, again, for the support. I kind of freaked out this morning. Realistically, I know that it could take some time, but after the losses and the fact that I had a health issue that delayed us even starting to try for a little more than three years between diagnosing the problem and treatment and when that didn't work surgery and then letting my body heal, I feel so much time pressure. This month is a year from when I got pregnant the first time and all we have is five figures of medical bills and so many tears to show for it. If I'm honest I know I'm not ready to be doing this again, but I feel like I don't have time to give myself a break because I'm 34 years old now and want two kids. It's just hard. Thank you for letting me vent.

    @karenbme: I definitely feel you on things feeling very high stakes. Whether it's infertility, loss, health struggles or all of the above, it seems to put the pressure on... and I can definitely appreciate that feeling of the clock ticking... I'm 40 and keep thinking how sick I got with DD and what a toll it took on my body (HELLP and severe preE), and think it might only be harder the older I get. So I feel ya on not necessarily being ready but feeling like you have to trudge on.

    @yellowbeach: Thanks. It just feels like we’re going backwards right now.

    I feel better about today’s tests! I called my doctor for a beta, so no more POAS for me.

    @Jessiemuller88: those lines look fantastic! I hope your doc can see you soon and you get some peace of mind

    @karenbme: I’m so sorry. My losses were very hard on me emotionally, and to add in health issues is really tough. Give yourself some love, it sounds like you’re a strong mama

    @Jessiemuller88: those look fantastical! Keep us posted on the betas

    @magnolia: @samsmom: thank you ladies! I’m starting to get excited!

    @Jessiemuller88: Oh YAY! That’s awesome progression. I’m sure your betas will be great. PS.. I joined the May 2019 board since our group from Sept POAS was pretty small and the other two mamas from this board are there (though my EDD is June 2, my babies tend to come early). Come join us when you’re ready!

    @SupernovaJ: thanks for letting me know! My due date is the same as yours too!!

    13 dpo is good enough for a FRER, yea? I don't think I'm making it to 14 dpo 🙈 I have an addiction

  26. karenbme

    persimmon / 1419 posts

    @Jessiemuller88: Those look fantastic! Fingers crossed that the betas look just as good. 😃

    @magnolia: Thanks. Starting to try again has been way more draining than I thought it would be.

  28. karenbme

    persimmon / 1419 posts

    @Sams Mom: I’m not an expert, but why not? 13 is almost as good as 14, and there isn’t a pregnancy test shortage.

    @Sams Mom: I second @karenbme! No time like the present. And besides, 13 is a lucky 🍀 number, right? 😉

    @yellowbeach: @karenbme: y'all are enablers, just so you know... Doesn't change that I'll pee on a stick tomorrow 🤷‍♀️

    @Sams Mom: test! Test!! TEST!!!

    persimmon / 1419 posts

    @Sams Mom: Did you test? I'm dying to know!! Also, enabler is such a strong word... I kind of like rationalizer better

  35. Sams Mom

    grapefruit / 4492 posts

    @karenbme: I did and I'm out this cycle I'm pretty sure, not a trace of anything.

    @SupernovaJ: @magnolia: Thanks ladies! Hopefully the universe laughs at me this next month and gives me a July baby. I have always held firm that since I hate being hot so much, that I could never be pregnant in the summer. Maybe it will bite me in the ass.
