I know I shouldn't do this but I couldn't help it. Top is 12dpo 3 hour pm hold, bottom is 14dpo fmu. Shouldn't it be darker by now??
-
@catomd00: Hmmm, perhaps call your OB and see if you can get in for bloodwork? Tests are hard to tell because there is a different amount of dye.
-
@catomd00: They always say don't go by the color of the line, but I'd be nervous too. Def call your doc for bloodwork!
-
@catomd00: don't worry too much and get a blood test done! Keep us updated!
-
@catomd00: I think it really depends on the test type. Some get darker and some don't!
-
@BandDmommy: @JoJoGirl: @starlitsky: @MrsKoala:
Thanks. I haven't chose a new OB yet so may call my old one even though they're out of network. I did just take a first response rapid results which are less sensitive than frer at lunch (so a 6 hour hold?) and got this which made me feel better... Ignorance was bliss the first time around!!
-
@catomd00: that is a very nice 2nd line!!
-
@catomd00: I used those tests for my third pregnancy. Mine weren't much darker than yours and I found out about the pregnancy at ten weeks. All that to say.... Congratulations!!!! Put the tests away!!!
-
@oliviaoblivia: thanks! I know I need to stop lol. I'm the first one to tell other people to stop peeing so I should take my own advice. Feeling confident enough to call the doc and schedule a first appt now.
-
Okay so I am 99% sure I am out this month. A negative FRER one day before my clockwork AF. So that's that! This means I get to enjoy a wedding at a brewery and wine country in October!
But I have a question - I am still breastfeeding my toddler at 18 months 2x a day. I actually got AF back at 3.5 months post partum (lucky me) and the have been completely regular. Do you think there is anything I should be looking at in particular with cycles and timing? I am going to temp this upcoming cycle which I have not done in the past. My DD was one and done so I am essentially a TTC past one cycle noobie.
-
@teawithpaloma: I'm still nursing my 19 month old and was very concerned about how it would impact TTC. I gently encouraged a bit of weaning starting last cycle, so I eliminated our morning session and all the random ones on the weekend and we full night weaned. We currently nurse when I get home from work and a little before bed but she doesn't get much. Also before nap on weekends but again doesn't get much. They do say cutting out a feeding can positively impact fertility, which is why we really focused on night weaning (plus we were hopeful it would improve her sleep!) but plenty of people have no issues getting pregnant while nursing, i was worried without real reason though.
-
@catomd00: Thanks - this was good to hear. I am not sure what to cut out but I think she gets quite a bit in the morning. Wish there was a fortune teller who could help me!

Hi, hope it's not too late to this!
Cycle Day:
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation and POAS dates: 9/13? (not sure); POAS on 9/21 (BFN); will test again on 9/30
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month:
For Fun: What's your favourite fall activity? Anything special happening in September? apple picking!So I got off the pill on 8/30 and bled from 9/2-9/4. I have no idea when I ovulated, but guessing it was 9/13-15 or so. I had an OB/GYN appointment on 9/17 for a regular checkup and pap smear and the doctor found brownish mucus (sorry TMI!). She thinks it could be old blood. But maybe ovulation spotting? Been feeling nauseous and crampy since 9/19. I know the chances are low since I just got off the pill, and withdrawal from bcp mimics pregnancy symptoms. Anyway, best of luck to all of you ladies still waiting to test!
-
@teawithpaloma: the morning session was easiest for me to cut out because our mornings are so busy I could easily redirect her until it was time to go!
-
@catomd00: I just strategized with DH and that's we are going to do to. I think it's too long (20-40) minutes. I am going away this weekend and just won't do it again when I get back!
-
@marley: not too late!
-
@teawithpaloma: Thanks! I think I'm going to use an OPK next month if AF comes. With my DD we didn't really try too hard. I got off bcp and AF never came and got BFP in 2 months. I'm older now and there's urgency, no time to waste!
-
@marley: welcome and good luck!
-
I can't believe it's almost October!
Any Sept news? The board has been quiet lately.No real news here, I'm not sure when/if I ovulated but we have been BD a lot, so I'm hoping our chances are good.
-
@WinterBee: i was thinking the same thing!
is there an Oct POAS thread yet?
-
@Ajsmommy: thanks! I might have to join the Oct POAS thread...I think I'm about 11 dpo and yesterday got a BFN. Now I just wish AF would come so at least I'll know when to start using the OPK.
-
@teawithpaloma: good luck!!
-
I'm an OG bee, so I don't know a lot of you, but I'm excited to be back now that we're sort of trying again. I'll join y'all on the October board!
-
@WinterBee: nothing new here! Just moving onto October!
-
@photojane: exciting!!
-
Ok everyone, I created an October POAS thread, I'm hoping I can keep up.

@tinyperson: @catomd00: know I'm late but congrats ladies
I've been super busy with school lately but I had to reschedule my ultrasound but I go October 9th which is when we'll be back in town from our much needed family vacation so hopefully it's all go good and we can get back to trying. We went back to ntnp this month since my ultrasound is towards the end of this cycle. Hope to see the rest of you ladies on the October/November boards
-
@WinterBee: thank you! I thought about it but things are so up and down with us TTC that I wasn't sure I was up to it.
-
@MrsDragon: No worries! I check the boards daily, and I've been around for 6 months now :o thought it was my turn.
-
Well this is funny. We were not very planned TTC for 3 months, then this month was the close up shop till November month, and hi, I'm pregnant.
-
@pastemoo: congrats
-
@catomd00: Did you retest? @photojane: Hi!! @Honeygold89: Thank you.
