TWW testing week of February 1st

ZoeFer · January 2016

Congrats @lily55d !! FX for the good beta numbers and a healthy stick bean!

lily55d · January 2016

@ultratomato We didn't do IUI, just TI, I am 10 DPO.

Thank you ladies I am so happy!

Got my bloods back and they came back at 28! With the tests getting darker I am deffo preggo. I will repeat on tuesday for progression!

ZoeFer · January 2016

@ultratomato @Drove2u @PCOSat25I am sorry for the BFN s, but it could be still too early for you ladies. FX!!!
I am having exactly same symptoms as my previous cycles , so i started to believe that BFN is approaching for me. But i will not test until Thursday or Friday because i will not be convinced that it is true BFN until 13dpo.

ZoeFer · January 2016

I have a question for you all, i have been having sore throat and fatigue since Friday and it is getting heavier today i think. I was afraid of getting any medication not to jeapordize chances of getting pregnant. Would you suggest anything besides vitamins ?

erica0901 · January 2016

Congrats @lily55d !! H&H 9 months!

Lin&say · January 2016

Congrats @lily55d! Wishing you all the best. Great way to start off the testing week!

@ZoeFer Sorry, I'm not really sure about safe meds. Maybe more natural routes might help until you can call the dr in the morning. Staying well hydrated, vitamin c, plenty of sleep, etc. Hope you feel better soon!

I ordered some wondfos and decided I would test out the trail end of my trigger. The last 3 days all look the same though (7dpo-9dpo) so not really sure what's going on there.

tvh1982 · January 2016

I would recommend to check with your RE or pharmaceutical @ZoeFer or stick to the Vitamins and tea with honey.
Get well soon!

ZoeFer · January 2016

Thank you ladies, i have been physically too active this week finally i am resting today having tea and eating orange fruits for vitamins. Hopefully i will feel better tomorrow.
@lin&say do you mean the tests are positive all three days but you suspect that it is still the trigger ? Could you ask for a blood test sooner?

ultratomato · February 2016

Hoping these next few days go by fast and that AF does not show up so that I can test on the 3rd

Lin&say · February 2016

@zoefer Yes, the tests are still faint positives. I know it's still the trigger but I'm just surprised they aren't getting lighter. Hopefully it'll be completely out of my system tomorrow. My office doesn't do betas unless you turn a positive 14dpo.

ZoeFer · February 2016

I see, I remember few people here who had positive tests until 14dpiui somehow. I wish you the true BFP and beta this week ! @Lin&say

lily55d · February 2016

@lind&say I hope this is the start of your bfp!! FX!

NurseTMD85 · February 2016

@lily55d So happy to hear about your BFP!!!! Good luck on tomorrow's beta!

@lin&say Hopefully this is it for you! FX!!!

10piui for me today. I can't believe I haven't broke down and POAS yet. I'll likely do it by the end of the week. Fx for anyone else I missed having their beta this week!

kh87 · February 2016

Tested today. 11 DpIUI and BFN. I'm throwing in the towel after this cycle and taking an unknown amount of time off from all of this.

lily55d · February 2016

I'm sorry @kh87 , there's still time! Don't lose hope yet

I hope you ladies don't mind me sticking around for a bit and cheering on

NurseTMD85 · February 2016

@kh87 Sorry to hear, but it's still early! Fx for you!

ZoeFer2 · February 2016

My account @ZoeFer is banned again today for no reason

I am so annoyed.
@kh87 I am sorry for the BFN, I really hope it is just too early for you and you get your BFP this cycle. But if it is BFN, I can understand your choice of taking a break and it helps to take some time off to take care of yourself. I am sure you will get back to all of these with a healthier body and state of mind. Hugs to you !

wifeinraleigh28 · February 2016

@lily55d CONGRATS!!! Exciting to see a BFP in this group. H&H 9 months!

@ZoeFer / @ZoeFer2 I was told by my RE and OBGYN that the only safe med to take when you're sick (if pregnant or trying) is Tylenol cold and flu. But definitely check with your doctor!

I'm 13dpo today and started spotting. Pretty sure AF will be here by the end of the day.

tvh1982 · February 2016

I'm sorry to hear @kh87.
I would say there's still time,that you tested to early, but I've learned when we know we know.
Take all the time you need, and get back energy to try again. In the meantime I keep my fingers crossed for you just in case it is indeed to early.

NurseTMD85 · February 2016

@wifeinraleigh28 I'm so sorry

Hugs to you!

erica0901 · February 2016

So very sorry @wifeinraleigh28 and @kh87 . Today is 12dpiui and I broke down and tested, BFN here, feeling out of it this month, but I guess you never know until beta. Hugs to everyone!

tvh1982 · February 2016

I'm sorry to hear @wifeinraleigh28

wifeinraleigh28 · February 2016

Sorry about your BFN @erica0901. FX that it's still too early for you.

Thanks for the support ladies. I hate going to work on days like this

ZoeFer2 · February 2016

I am sorry for the BFN @erica0901 . FX that it is just too early.
@wifeinraleigh28 thanks for the info, I managed to get it over with just with resting I think but it is good to know in case I need again. I guess you know your body best, but I just hope that it is not AF yet. Have you decided if you are going for IUI this cycle ?

wifeinraleigh28 · February 2016

@ZoeFer2 I'm glad you're feeling better! I'm still not sure what to do about IUI this month. If AF can hold off until after noon tomorrow then I could still go in for baseline Friday after we talk to the urologist on Thursday and hear what he has to say. Or I might just do a baseline anyway just in case if AF starts sooner. I would hate to wait another month if it's unlikely we're going to see motility improvements.

ZoeFer2 · February 2016

Thank you @wifeinraleigh28 . My insurance wants to have approval for IUI cycle before my baseline, so I have to decide before I start a cycle. If that s not the case for you, I would go ahead with baseline and you could decide later if it would turn into an IUI cycle. Trying to schedule everything with your cycle and deciding one thing over another is the worst part for me, best of luck to you !!!!

wifeinraleigh28 · February 2016

@ZoeFer2 I think our insurance just pre-approves us for 3 IUIs. But after that we're on our own, no additional fertility coverage. Makes me want to use our IUIs wisely and only do the next one after we hear what the urologist has to say... if he says we can likely expect more improvements then it will probably be worth it for us to wait, even though I really don't want to wait anymore

I'm glad you'll be able to jump back on the IUI train though next month! (unless you get your BFP of course!! FX!)

PCOSat25 · February 2016

13dpIUI and a BFN. Checked the doubling time calculator and it technically could still be too early if later implantation. Ugh. Will retest Wednesday (cd31 and 15dpIUI). We will see. This is the last cycle with fresh sperm as my husband leaves on Friday. Feb will be our last IUI (frozen sample) and then we will just have to see from there...

sorry for for all the other BFN. But I really encourage you to do some research on HCG doubling times or use one of the Internet calculators. Some of you seem to be counting yourselves out really early!!! Most implantation happens day 8-10. Let's say you started with an HCG of 2 on day 8po (implantation) by day 10 it would only be 4, by day 12 it would be 8, by day 14 it would be 16, and only by day 18 would it be high enough to show on a POAS test.

granted your hcg can start out as high as 5. In which case if you implanted 8dpo you could pop positive as early as 13-14dpo. If you implanted later through like 10dpo you could not be positive on a home test until well after you missed period. BETA knows best

wifeinraleigh28 · February 2016

@PCOSat25 This is why I don't test until 14dpo

FX that you will turn your test positive when you test on Wednesday!

ZoeFer2 · February 2016

@PCOSat25 Sorry for the BFN, but as you said you are not out until you are out. I totally agree with you !
FX on Wednesday test. I remember your struggle with your DH leaving and I am glad you were able to get frozen samples! But of course the best thing would be to get a BFP on Wed

GL !!

tvh1982 · February 2016

I like your explanation @PCOSat25 it's really difficult to not count oneself out to early, but your explanation makes it easier to see.
I just had blood work done, but have to wait until Wednesday afternoon for the results.
Home pregnancy tests are BFN, but I'm waiting for my beta before I'll accept it.
GL ladies xoxo

PCOSat25 · February 2016

@tvh1982 I only said something as I have been soooo guilty of early testing and letting the POAS negatives get me down in the past. A few months ago I stumbled upon the calculator link posted below and it was EYE OPENING to say the least. I had a completely unrealistic understanding of implantation and hcg levels!!!!

PCOSat25 · February 2016

@tvh1982 and GL with your BETA. My RE told me he would not schedule one unless no AF AT 16dpIUI (which is diffent from last cycle so I am going to call to see if I can do it early. I only have like 3 progesterone suppositories left and the specialty compounding pharmacy is 45 minutes away so I don't want to refill this cycle if I don't have to).

NurseTMD85 · February 2016

@PCOSat25 Thank you for that link!!!!!

tvh1982 · February 2016

Thank you for the link @PCOSat25
I won't get AF unless I stop taking my hormones (did IVF with FET)
Hope you'll RE lets you do a beta before so you don't have to travel all the way.

GL and thanks again for the link!

ZoeFer2 · February 2016

@tvh1982 My fingers are crossed for good beta numbers for you !

Drove2u · February 2016

Sorry for all the bfns this cycle. :-(
i haven't tested again but probably will tomorrow morning which will be 13dpiui. But as I have been saying I'm feeling AF. and have had the worst Pms with crazy freak outs so I know I'm out.

Starlight811 · February 2016

How awful to hear so sorry to ladies getting BFN. I will go in for BETA on 2/4 I am not testing early as I will just not believe results regardless of outcome until the blood test. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting to test this week.

ultratomato · February 2016

Thanks for the link @PCOSat25 and good luck ladies

PCOSat25 · February 2016

They ladies! Random question I have been wanting to ask for a while...

Are any of you bath takers? I am a HUGE bath taker. I generally much prefer a hot bath to a shower of i have the time. Anyway I know a HOT bath would be out of the question during TWW but what about warm? All my internet reading shows warm baths are fine in first trimester so I don't see why they wouldn't be in tww.

have any of you asked your re about this? Thoughts?
