***July Two Week Wait!!***

@MooFish2364 I'm so sorry about the BFN. It's so hard getting those. Take care of yourself today

I'm 8 dpiui and don't feel too much. It's like a good thing and a bad thing. Good thing because there is no symptom spotting, a bad thing because I'm wondering if it worked this month or not. I did get my progesterone level back and it looks good so no supplementation necessary. I just have to not go insane until Friday when I test.

Congrats @dubcompanion!!!

This is our first cycle actually trying since our MMC at 20 weeks and it's killing me! I hate how much I feel like I'm banking on getting pregnant. My due date is coming up end of August and I keep thinking how I'd be able to cope so much better with this day knowing that I was pregnant with our Rainbow Baby. I wish I didn't put this much pressure on myself! What's everyone doing to try not to drive themselves crazy for the next two weeks? We're having a big 4th of July party here tomorrow! Trying to enjoy as much Summer Shandy as I can, since I wasn't planning on drinking any this summer!

@kmkremp7 Hello, welcome. I'm very sorry for your loss. My EDD is also at the end of August. Don't have many coping techniques that work, except trying to keep my mind and body occupied by learning complicated new things. That works pretty well from CD1 to about 6 DPO and then things get pretty topsy-turvy.

@dubcompanion Yay!! That is great news!!

@MooFish2364 I am so sorry about the BFN 

I almost caved and bought HPTs this evening. Ya'll I am 7 DPO and I know it is entirely to early, but I am itching to POAS. Next week is going to go by so slow...ugh.

Edited because TB ate part of my post

@dubcompanion omg so happy for you! I will seriously miss you but so glad you are moving on!!

@Wishilivedinflorida I hear you on the SS! Yesterday I was 5dpo and I was like I am totally nauseous so I am totally KU!! Haha not that it could of been the lack of lunch, working out and or the heat! Haha!

@MooFish2364 very sorry about the BFN

Congrats @dubcompanion!! Happy and healthy 9 months to you!!

And I'm officially out, no surprise there, especially because we suspect I'm not truly ovulating (just enough of a surge to turn OPK positive for all of an hour basically). BFN this am followed by spotting. So I guess I'm CD1 as per doctors orders. FX for all of you! 

Wishilivedinflorida

I'm sorry, @roper2617.

@roper2617 I'm sorry about the BFN. Take care of yourself today.

@roper2617 sorry about the bfn. It totally sucks.

First, let's get the important question out of the way: SurePredict and Wonfo have the exact same sensitivity.

I ovulated on or around CD16. Started prometrium suppositories (200 mg 1x/day) on CD 20. Very light spotting 1x on CD 25 (approx 9 dpo). Started testing like a crazy person with both brands every day (FMU). SS on prometrium is tricky, but I did notice strange dreams, road rage, gas, watery CM, cramps and frequent urination.

This morning, I got faint lines on both the SurePredict and Wondfo. Confirmed with CB digi that estimates 1-2 wks.

I have to be honest, I've been here so many times before, that I feel blank if that makes sense. However, I am a firm believer in signs, and there are some pretty weighty ones this time. Specifically, today is my dad's birthday (he passed 16 years ago) and my EDD is March 10 - my 40th birthday. This is also the first time in 5 pregnancies (5 counting this) that I've had noticeable implantation bleeding and it's the earliest I've tested positive on anything other than a FRER. 

So, here I sit, waiting to see where this pregnancy decides to go. I won't move over to the PGAL board until after betas come back, so hopefully you ladies won't mind keeping me in the meantime :-)

MissPrint1219

YAY FOR SCIENCE @dubcompanion!!! FX for darkening lines!

SoonToBeMommaHowe

Congratulations @MissPrint1219!! I'm glad your "science experiment" ended with wonderful results!

Amdogger82

Congrats @MissPrint1219! Fingers crossed for good betas. 

I am out for sure-- AF showed her ugly cranky face this morning. I'm completely ok with this as our timing was accidental as I've not had an AF since my d&c. So cheers to AF, new cycles and getting back on the TTC crazy train. And these BFPs make me SO HAPPY!

roper2617

Thanks @Wishilivedinflorida @roxgibbons and @MooFish2364  That was our last cycle TTC "naturally" , moving on over to some assistance with Clomid, I'm hopeful that'll move things along. But for now, wine. 

Congrats @MissPrint1219 so excited for you! 

mylittleversailles

@MissPrint1219 Congratulations! FX this is your rainbow. Of course, hang around as long as you need to.

@roper2617 Sorry for the bfn, but enjoy the wine. 

rainbowturtles

EEEEEK! @MissPrint1219 so excited for you! I'm in the car on the way home from DH's parents and this just put a big smile on my face! 

Wishilivedinflorida

Congrats @MissPrint1219!! Fx this is your take home rainbow!

Im sorry about CD1 @Amdogger82. I do remember how that first AF does kind of feel refreshing after a loss. Such a strange feeling.  

MissPrint1219

Thank you ladies! I don't know what I'd do without y'all

yolandamunoz

Omg @MissPrint1219 congrats!!! So happy for you! and @dubcompanion yay for confirmation tests!!  
I hope this are your rainbows ladies! So happy and excited!

@MooFish2364 I'm sorry for BFN hang in there and hope for the best!!! Hugs to you.

dubcompanion

@MissPrint1219 Congrats! Science FTW! FX for darkening lines for you too!!


TW - BFP results


I did some research on Wondfos last night and read somewhere they're 25 mIU.(SP proudly touts itself at 10 mIU.) On SP's directions, they state they can work before a missed period, whereas Wondfo's directions say they work best the day after a missed period. However, on my first testing, Wondfo showed a quicker second line that has since stayed visible, whereas SP barely showed a positive line that's now basically invisible. Anyway, just found that interesting! 

MissPrint1219

Thank you @dubcompanion!!

Spartanrd4

Yay @MissPrint1219!! FX on your betas

MWoodside

Congrats @MissPrint1219!

I'm currently 9DPO. Timing was right on O day this cycle. Fingers crossed. Can't decide if I want to test tomorrow or just wait. 

lilylover27

@MissPrint1219 congrats on the BFP!!

brooklyngirl18

omg YAY @dubcompanion and @MissPrint1219 happy and healthy 9 months

brooklyngirl18

Hi ladies! I've been away the past few days and missed a lot! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I need a little help, I have no clue what's going on with my cycle. This is my second cycle charting and the first had a very clear shift after O but this month is a whole different story. Anyone care to chart stalk? I should note I started antibiotics for a uti on Friday. I'm mobile, sorry if it's huge 

brooklyngirl18

 This is my chart last month just so you can see the difference 

Wishilivedinflorida

@brooklyngirl18 I think FF is correct and you're having a slowish rise pattern. A couple more temps should help for clarity. Are you taking any ibuprofen or Tylenol for the UTI pains? That can cause a depressed temp. 

Even though I think I'm 8dpo, FF says I'm 10dpo so I POAS. BFN obv, what is wrong with me? 

brooklyngirl18

Thanks @Wishilivedinflorida today's temp is 97.9 so I think you're right and I'm having a slow rise pattern this month.

nothing wrong with you, I would do the same exact thing. Back away slowly from the pee sticks and try again tomorrow. 

silentP

Congrats @missprint1219!!

MooFish2364

@brooklyngirl18 I agree with @Wishilivedinflorida. It looks like you're having a slow rise pattern. I have had them the last few months after my loss but never had them before. 

As for me, I pretty much know I'm out this month and should probably head back to WTO. I just hope af comes ASAP because I'm going out if town with DH the end of this week and don't want hellish cramps during our road trip. It sucks because I had a great triphasic chart this cycle 

catiecatp

Congratulations @dubcompanion and @MissPrint1219 - I totally still lurk here, especially this thread... I love and miss y'all so much

roxgibbons

@MissPrint1219 congratulations!!!

So, after another round of POAS this morning, the lines are ever so slightly darker, but still nowhere near the control line. I was freaking out a bit that this could be another CP, but then Dr. Google stepped in to save the day. I know all women have a different "starting hcg level", which is why some get BFPs right out of the gate while the rest of us have to wait it out. Luckily, this morning I found an "Implantation Doubling Simulator" that takes your last MP and ovulation date and basically tells you what your hcg level would be based on day of implantation. Reasonably, I'm probably still under 20, so I'm trying to get out of my own head and just see what tomorrow's round of sticks say. I should have no problem getting a beta drawn tomorrow, too, so hopefully that will help calm the crazy.

shae86

@MissPrint1219 congratulations, and FX for good beta results! My first BFP was extremely light. I tested again a week later, and it was as dark as the control line. I'm thinking that's the norm when you start testing early. 

Happy Fourth of July to those in the US! Quick BBT question for you:
I went to bed at 1am last night (gotta love holiday weekends), and woke up at 6:30 when DH took the dog out. I never breathe through my mouth, but I'd been sleeping with my mouth partially open. I took my temp and it was 97.5. I went back to sleep until 9, tried again, and it was 98.3. What temp would you go with?

I'll mention that yesterday I was also 98.3 at 9am. Weekdays I typically temp at 7:30am, after 7-8 hours of sleep. Weekends it's somewhat later, but usually after the same amount of sleep. 

Wishilivedinflorida

@shae86 I would stick with the original temp so that you don't give yourself a false spike. The second temp is only after 2.5 hours of sleep, so is likely to be less reliable. Temps normally go up throughout the day, so it's not odd to see an increase later in the morning. 

mylittleversailles

@shae86 I would also go with the first one. Generally speaking, I always do, even though I'm a restless sleeper who pees a lot, gets up at different times and sometimes sleeps with my mouth open.
