~2WW Wednesday~

mamabisme · June 2014

Thank you! Will definitely update Friday.

kdE2010 · June 2014

Cycle/month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: -3, -2

Testing Plans: Trying to wait, although I did buy test this morning so it'll probably be harder to resist.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My temp dipped yesterday and is back up today. I've heard of implantation dip, but not sure I believe it. FX!

GTKY: In your lifetime so far, in how many different houses/apartments have you lived?4-Two with my parents, two with DH.

Question: I bought a pack of FRERs and the directions say it can detect hCG 5 days before day of expected period. My longest LP is 12 days meaning I would expect AF on June 23 and 5 days before that is today. I thought implantation is normally about 7 DPO and most ladies test after 10 DPO so there is enough hormone for the test to pick up. I'm confused, can someone explain???

asoneill · June 2014

@kde2010 - I think (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that implantation can be anywhere from 6-10 DPO. FRER can detect as early as 5 days before a missed period, but the accuracy is lower that far out. Obviously, accuracy improves the closer you get to your missed period. If you can hold out another day or two, it might be better - I'd say at least wait until tomorrow's FMU if you want to give it a shot.

Lurking from W2O to agree with what you've written. On the FRER box it shows percentages of accuracy and at 5 days before its like 75% (I don't have a box I'm trying to remember) but if you wait until 4 days it jumps to 94% accurate. I'm not sure how a short LP affects this though, I'd wait as long as possible.

kdE2010 · June 2014

@asoneill and @cythe

Thanks ladies! The small print says it jumps from 76% to 96%. So you're saying I have a short LP (11-12 days)?

Haha not too bad for complete remembering/guessing! Im pretty out of my depths here, but I think 'short' isn't until your LP is under 10 days regularly.

graceanne927 · June 2014

cycle/month: 4AL

cd/dpo: 28/13

timing: high

testing: bfn at 11 dpo. I'm holding out hope but I'm clinging to a thin rope right now. I keep saying that 11 dpo is still early and I tested on wondfos I just bought on amazon and actually googled the pack # and saw a ton of questionable reviews about them...so I'm thinking maybe I still have a chance?!

rants/raves/phantom symptoms: I have zero symptoms of AF...my temp is still high although lower than yesterday. I'm extremely tired. Usually I am spotting by now and AF is expected tomorrow. So may test again in the morning or wait for Friday using FRER. I'm sure AF will make her grand entrance...it would be too awesome to actually get a bfp the first month I start temping.

GTKY: 17 - I moved quite a bit in my early 20's after college!

HOORAY! Congrats on your bfp! @Irishcurls‌

FX'd for you!mamabisme

Sorry for the bfns and cd1's...hugs!

kristyn831 · June 2014

Congrats @Irishcurls‌ !

@Layfi002‌ 6/14 looks like a more probable O date

Cycle/Month: 8/11

CD/DPO: 29/9

Timing: -1, +1

Testing Plans: DH might be away for a night or two at the end of this week so I will test on a day that he's home just in case I get a BFP.

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: Tired and extremely thirsty.

GTKY: 5, not including all the dorms I lived in.

LtColumbo · June 2014

Spotting is starting so I am pretty sure I am out (plus the negative test yesterday) but I'll wait it out until cd1 gets here officially...

suzysurparis · June 2014

@graceanne927 11dpo is pretty early. Here's the FF blog post about positive after negative: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/blog/posts/228.html and this one's pretty good too: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/When-can-I-expect-a-positive-HPT-if-I-am-pregnant.html . BUt if you get a BFN at 15DPO, then you're probably out.

Thanks for looking @kristyn831. I am leaning more towards that day as well, but not having my BBT with me on Sunday morning really messed me up. Do you think I should put in the temp after I napped that afternoon? If I do then it moves my CHs to CD15. I also had an almost positive OPK on CD 14. So that would make sense.

I think either day could be a possible O date. It is hard to tell. If you were doing OPKs at least every day and CD 14 was closest to + I would put that in to FF as a +. Missing that temp is frustrating and making it hard to tell for sure your O date but I wouldn't put in an afternoon temp.

@graceanne927 I feel out after my negative at 11dpo but then in the back of my head I want to get a FRER. It will drive you crazy.

Jags8 · June 2014

Well, I'm out this cycle. I just started spotting so full-on period will be here tonight or tomorrow morning. Good luck ladies!

FitMom3510 · June 2014

Cycle/month: 1

CD/DPO: CD31 4DPO according to FF but not sure how accurate it is since I have dotted CH's and my temps raised a few days before FF called it. I also have an open circle the day before the so called ovulation day because I charted 45mins earlier then normal

Timing: -5,-4,-3, and +2 going off the current O date of FF

Testing Plans: day of expected AF 6-23 (Monday)

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I had a drop in temp today which is disappointing and also very very light brown spotting. Only saw it on my underwear and when wiping once but haven't seen it the rest of the day sorry TMI. I also keep having dreams that I'm pregnant and how I'm telling hubby but I blame that on looking at baby stuff on pinterest before bed.

GTKY: In your lifetime so far, in how many different houses/apartments have you lived?

6

ChanStew · June 2014

My first one, yay! (Thanks @Jags8 for the help...I've edited this! Still don't know what Timing is...)

Cycle/month: 17/1 1/1

CD/DPO: 17/-2 or -7 (Hard to say, last month I ovulated on CD 19 but the month before I ovulated on CD 26)

Timing: I have a watch..?

Testing Plans: Some time around the 4th of July, 'Merica!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Whole other language on here, some I know, some I don't. Yes, there's a dictionary on here somewhere but it takes a while to catch on!

GTKY: In your lifetime so far, in how many different houses/apartments have you lived?

Do different dorm rooms in the same dorm count? 12

Jags8 · June 2014

@LoboBum

Cycle is the number of cycles you have been TTC, and obviously month is how many months you've been TTC. (So there is no way you are 17/1 because that means you have had 17 cycles in one month).

CD is "cycle day" (CD1 is the first day of your period). DPO is "days passed ovulation." If you've been tracking your temps, you would know how many days passed ovulation you are.

FitMom3510 · June 2014

@lolobum hope this helps CD= cycle day, DPO = days post ovulation, only way to really know what day you for sure O (ovulate) is to track your basal body temperature with a basal body thermometer.

Timing is going to be when you had sex in line with your ovulation. For example: if you had sex the day before your ovulation that would be -1, if you had it two days before your O then it would be -2 and if you had it the day after you O it would be +1

Have you checked the newbie blog? It has a ton of info in regards to all of the above and also has the glossary in it for all the acronyms : D

Jags8 · June 2014

@LoboBum if you haven't ovulated yet, you belong on the "WTO" thread which is "waiting to ovulate." There is a daily "WTO" and a daily "2WW." Then come back here once you've ovulated.

@ava826‌ can I message you about BP problems/medications? Or are you comfortable talking about it in this thread?

I have ridiculously crazy BP issues, and I just got put on my first BP medication - I'd be happy to talk about it, I know how frustrating it can be. Sorry this looks ridiculous - TB is giving me hell with posting.

PHNJenna · June 2014

@swimmergurl1105 Thanks! I just stopped a diuretic, b/c I felt like it was effecting my CM (I really don't have any) and I guess thats exactly what a diuretic should do… but obviously not good for TTC. So am looking into other options- all of course under the direction of my doctor. I was really happy with the diuretic overall as I had minimal side effects, and it did the job with BP, so am nervous about trying something different.

FrecklesInside · June 2014

While I haven't been posting here long, I've been a very, very long time lurker. I'm not active enough to post this to the main page, but I don't want to just disappear so I figured I'd post it here. BFP!

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 22/9

EDD: March 2nd, 2015

Timing: -2, -1, O, +1

What we did: OPKs, temping, sex, all the things

How I told DH: I wanted to do something cute but couldn't handle the idea of waiting to tell him. I found out just before we were going to put DD to bed. When he came in the room, she was sitting on the bed with the test and I told her to hand it to daddy.

Symptoms: Some cramping, spotting CD5 and CD6, nausea

Mushy stuff: This board has a wealth of knowledge and is a super supportive place. I'm glad I lurked around here for so long and I'm glad I came out of lurkdom to post some. There have been so many BFPs on here as of late, I can't wait to see more of you in March15.

suzysurparis · June 2014

@frecklesinside congrats! I think you could maybe do a main page post (I recognize your siggy). But you kinda didnt mention the BFP until the end of your post (it's only expressly mentioned in the Mushy stuff), so maybe you wanna throw that in somewhere at the top? Oh, and pee-sticks.

proudtobeazebra · June 2014

@PHNJenna‌, I know exactly how you feel - I really didn't want to start another medication, but it has actually worked out really well. I am on a really low dose of a beta blocker, which my cardiologist said was safe for pregnancy. Both my HR and BP have come down to normal range, so I dont anticipate having to go on a high dose anytime soon. I have issues both ways- my BP gets way too high and low, so the lows still suck, but at least the highs are taken care of.

Oops! Mentioning BFP would have been a good idea

I'm mobile right now, but I'll post a pee stick later. Thanks girls!
