**June TWW**

silentP

I'm just gonna be over here chanting "BFPs! BFPs! BFPs!"

dpjennifer

@reneeannemm Why didn't I think of that?  Ok, changing O method to FAM makes O date CD20.  So 1 day later than FF was saying, but still a few days earlier than I suspect.  (It also changes my crosshair baseline to something not ridiculous).

So excited for all these possible BFPs! Hope there are lots of darkening line.

11DPO here and BFN this morning, but I guess I'm not necessarily out yet. It's so disheartening though when all you want it to see that second little line and you stare so hard at a test as if that is going to make it appear.

Congrats @JDMRS!!  FX @natsfan2442 and @dpjennifer for darkening lines!

I'm officially back in the TWW @ cd19. My POAS game is weak this month, though, so tbh I have no idea when o'd, but the signs I was watching point to Saturday or Sunday. DH and I have been HIO ED but Saturday, though, so hopefully one will stick the landing. 

I don't know if anyone else tortures themselves like this, but because the big 4-0 is looming, I have been known to check what my EDD would be *if* it happened on a particular cycle and how old I'd be. It's sick, I know, but I did it today and the EDD came up March 10 - my birthday and 3 days to the year after we found out about our 12-week mmc (my longest pregnancy to date). I can't decide if that's a good omen or not. Either way, let the TW crazies begin!

Yay for all them BFP!!! So excited for you guys and FX for reassuring darker lines!

dpjennifer

Well, the line this morning wasn't any darker... but it's still there.  So 2 faint lines in a row on a FRER.  DH looked this morning and agrees that he sees the faint lines (since he was actually awake this morning).  I have 1 test left, but I think I'll skip tomorrow and take it on Friday to see if the line is any darker.  Guess I'm holding out for a 'look at the 2 lines on this stick that are clearly visible' and not a "don't you see the line?  It's right there... look closer" definitive answer.

*General question *

Would you trust a blue dye pregnancy test if results showed within the time limit? 

iceandsnowflakes29

@dpjennifer I know the struggle. Are you using the new FRER or old one? How many dpo are you? 

lilylover27

@dpjennifer @natsfan2442 FX for darker lines!

dpjennifer

@iceandsnowflakes29 I"ve heard not to trust the blue dye tests, so I've never bought one to try.  And unfortunately, all I can find right now are the new curved FRERs.  The last box I had when they were BFN were stark white.  These have a definite faint line, adn this one showed up earlier than the one yesterday morning (yesterday it came right at the end of the 3 min mark, today it showed up starting around 2 min), but it wasn't any darker.  
I think I am 15 DPO (but due to a wonky chart this month that's not 100%). 

Taggarab

@dpjennifer hope that line starts getting darker!

I think I am out. Spotting this morning and some cramping so just waiting for AF to show up. Only 12 DPO so would be a shorter than normal LP for me, but my cycles have been so inconsistent since my ectopic in January. I am going to see my dr about a different issue next month and may ask him what he thinks about it.

*TW BFP*














Well. I still don't believe it. 10 dpo positive FRER. 

I actually got my first bfp at 8dpo (pm) on a blue dye but was skeptical. Took another blue dye at 9dpo and again, same result. 

Tested this morning with a frer and it's faint but definitely there. 

I'm in shock. I'm still scared this could wind up a CP but, I feel like a need to move along now. I will be lurking and cheering everyone on. Hope to see many familiar faces on March 17 (assuming I don't have to leave it) PGAL brain is in full force. 


For the symptom spotters out there my first clues were the following-

6dpo cramps, temp dip and  back ache.

8 dpo crazy dreams. Like bizzare. 

9dpo my doctor leaned over and I could smell his cologne so much it's like I had my nose in the bottle.  

I also followed a TCM approach and stayed as warm as possible and put a heating pad on my feet at night. I didn't do acupuncture but, followed my acupuncturist ' s advice about keeping warm. It's 80 degrees here and I've been dressing like an eskimo. 

Anyway, thank you again for your support. I've got my FX for everyone here

Congratulations @iceandsnowflakes29!! Happy and healthy 9 months to you!

BornReady

@iceandsnowflakes29 Congrats! FX for a happy and healthy pregnancy!

@dpjennifer Good luck! Hopefully things start to look clearer in the next day or two!

@MissPrint1219 I always used to look up my EDD on cycle day 1. It was something to look forward to on an otherwise depressing day. Over the years though, it's kind of bummed me out because it all seems so far away from what I thought it "should" be, so I've stopped. Your kind of EDD for March would be just the sort of thing to lift me up though, so I would have taken it as a good omen! Anything to cheer us up in the process is a good thing!

Spartanrd4

@iceandsnowflakes29 woohoo! Congrats, I hope I will be joining you soon

JDMRS

I am finally back on a desktop. Thank you everyone for your kindness. FX for all of you and I hope a lot of you will be at least lurking on the March17 board. 

@iceandsnowflakes29 congrats!
@dpjennifer my first line was almost imperceptible but it has gotten darker. I also took the stupid digital that came with the flat FRER in the combo pack and it said "yes."  Maybe try the combo pack? 

Taggarab

Congrats @iceandsnowflakes29!  

SoonToBeMommaHowe

@iceandsnowflakes29 yay!! Congrats Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy! 

*ps can you lurk for a little so I can pick your brain for all your charting knowledge

iceandsnowflakes29

@SoonToBeMommaHowe yes. Feel free to PM me if you want!  I won't mind a bit. 

lilylover27

@iceandsnowflakes29 congrats to you!! Happy and healthy 9 months!

@bornready I thought I was the only one to look up EDD at the start of a new cycle!

jade24422

Congrats @iceandsnowflakes29!

Thanks for the good thoughts everyone!! Still a faint line the last two days. My husband thinks today was darker, but I'm not seeing it. Still using the Easy@Home flat stick tests. I am going to buy a First Response or clear blue today to try. I'm trying not to worry about chemical but it's hard not to. I called my OB and the soonest I could come in is Friday afternoon, so we'll see what happens between then and now. Keeping fingers crossed and trying not to lose my mind between then and now.

FX for the other BFPs out there the last few days!!

dpjennifer

@Taggarab Sorry you’re out this cycle.  

@iceandsnowflakes29 Congrats!  J  I hope to be joining you in March 17 as well.  I’m also scared to death that these super faint lines I’m seeing will be a chemical.  FX for a sticky one!  Also, you’re mentioning about keeping warm.  Are you / have you been cold?  Because I’ve been sweating off and on, especially at night (which is the same thing that happened last time I got a BFP) and usually I’m cold at night.  So, just wondering if you were already cold and trying to keep warm, or trying to make sure you’re warm even if you feel hot and sweaty.

mylittleversailles

@iceandsnowflakes29 Congratulations! 

If anyone else is wondering about blue dye tests and doesn't shortly use a pink dye on to confirm after - last cycle I had three tests show second blue lines in the time limit on two different brand tests. Obviously I'm not pregnant and I know how to poas.

FX @dpjennifer @natsfans84

brooklyngirl18

congrats @iceandsnowflakes29!! H&H 9 months!

jade24422

FX for you too @dpjennifer! Hope your lines start getting darker too!

iceandsnowflakes29

@dpjennifer  I'm keeping warm even if I am hot. 

Mainly, my feet. It's 80 here but, I've been wearing shorts, a tank top but, I've been keeping a super thin light weight hooded long sleeve shirt in my bag which I throw on for chilly grocery stores, etc. 

Plus, DH likes the a/c set to arctic. So, at home  I'm in sweatpants and house shoes. I don't walk around in bare feet.

I don't eat ice cream, drink smoothies, I don't eat salad, basically nothing cold. I keep a room temperature water bottle. 

brooklyngirl18

@iceandsnowflakes29 I've never heard of the keeping warm thing. off to google

iceandsnowflakes29

@brooklyngirl18  google "cold uterus ". It is what my acupuncturist said I have. 

Taggarab

@reneeannemm That is so frustrating! You'd think they would get those off the market given how inaccurate they can be, on top of the total mind games it then plays on people 

MissPrint1219

@BornReady - You're absolutely right and I'm going to take this as a good sign. Now come on, universe, and help a girl out! LOL

dubcompanion

@iceandsnowflakes29 Congratulations! I'm so happy for you and only a little sad that I will not receive more wise advice from you and threaten you to step away from the pee sticks. 

yolandamunoz

congratulations girls for your BFP!!!! I am so happy for you. Good news like this lift up my spirits!

Hugs!

iceandsnowflakes29

Thank you and @dubcompanion i am still peeing on sticks. I'm just waiting to see if I can turn a digi in a few days. 

And I'm still lurking and cheering everyone on and sending you all rainbow glitter vibes! 

RiverSong15

Congrats @iceandsnowflakes29! 

@dpjennifer, have you tried a CBA Digital? With both of my BFPs, I was able to turn a CBAD HPT with only faint lines on an FRER. Yes, I'm being a bad influence! Fingers crossed for darker lines!!

iceandsnowflakes29

@RiverSong15 do the FRER digis  suck? I have lines on every test known to man within time limit that DH can see and  FRER digital says no. I might go pick up a CB digi and take it in the morning. 

Edit  auto correct and missing words

RiverSong15

@iceandsnowflakes29, I've never used the FRER digis, so I can't say. I've always tested with Wondfos, and then pulled out the curved FRERs and CB digis for confirmation. FWIW, I've never had an evap on the curved FRERs.

jade24422

Well the last couple of days feel like a cruel joke. My BFPs were super faint lines since Monday, never darkening, and this evening I started bleeding. I took another test this evening and BFN. I had already called my OB earlier today and made an appt for Friday, just because i was worried about the lines not darkening, so I'll go in to talk to her then. I'm pretty disappointed, but trying to not be too upset and be positive for next time. 

MissPrint1219

I'm so sorry @natsfan2442. Sending creepy internet hugs your way :-(
