  • @Isthisthereallife congrats hope your BETA comes back good wed.

    AFM
     I go friday for my beta. Im in the phase of thinking it didnt work. Was so positive it worked over the weekend. Was having pelvic pain on my right feeling like a pulled muscle and a faint 2 lines yesterday morning but this morning it was fainter. Now i noticed my urine this morning was more diluted than yesterday amd it wasnt a full 8 hour hold woke up at 3am and couldnt hold it any longer :( not sure if it was left over trigger or not. We will see what tomorrow morning brings. Still holding out hope but starting to doubt it.
  • @tiffavis12 Someone told me that the faintness of the line doesn't make a difference. I don't know anything about that really, but as I was talking to my friend this morning she assured me of that. Also, you're 5dp5dt? I tested negative at that. Holding out hope for you!!

  • @kangastein thinking of you.

    @becauselove FX that your period comes ASAP! I just started my patches yesterday, and I'm still having bad cramps from AF. Just an fyi because i didn't think about this: Don't put a heating pad on your stomach when you're wearing the patch. I did that all day yesterday because thats my normal routine with cramps, and I read that it can release the hormones much faster than intended. I'm not sure if its 100% accurate, but I'm holding off on the heating pad for now.
