hi i am new here. is supposed to come on 29 june. i am too anxious i went ahead to test with predictor early and i got a

did i test too early???

lets strive hard together babes!!!!

12dpo bfn I fear that af is just around the corner. bbt is still up above coverline but probably not for long. my breasts are still sore but not as sore as they have been everyday for the past week. this freaking sux!!

Good morning ladies,

Kelley - I'm so sorry that you feel like AF is on her way. Believe me I understand how frustrating and disheartening this journey can be. I truely hope that we both get our sticky BFPs soon.

Matherof3 - Welcome! What DPO are you? If your AF is normally due on the 29th you are probably testing a bit too early. Most of the tests I've seen really start being positive around 11DPO or 4 days before your missed period. Anything before that is pretty unusual and some times the tests won't show up positive until after your missed period. Good luck. I hope you get your BFP this month.

Amanda_McDaniel - I'm sorry you feel you're so close to not trying anymore. I hope you get your positive before that happens. I really hope your brother and SIL had a great retrieval and that the rest of their IVF cycle goes well and comes out with a BFP.

TTC and Holly - I'm pretty sure I was crying with you yesterday. I'm grateful I haven't found out about any new people getting pregnant around me. I hope you both feel better. Our time will come soon. I have to believe that.

Tiainker - good luck. I hope AF stays away for you.

Sailors wife - Did you O this weekend?

AFM - I've been really stuggling this cycle. My mood hasn't been the best and I've been having trouble maintaining my positivity. I'm hoping that the clouds of sadness have passed and I can get on with enjoying my cycle. CD8 today and DH and I are trying the SMEP. I really hope that this struggle will be over and we will get our sticky BFP at the end of this cycle. My EDD would be 21 Mar 2016.

Lolo - I am a legal secretary and type up all of our court paperwork for collections. It's a very busy job on the computer and also a lot of filing which is quite heavy at times. I have gotten worse since being back at work because of my desk situation. I know I have loss of strength on my left side most likely from nerve damage during surgery. They also ruptured my spinal cord sac during surgery so the dr thinks that is part of the damage, too. I am going to a spinal therapeutics and diagnostics center right now. I haven't tried the chiropractor yet because I'm a little afraid to. I loved going before my surgery, but they removed a part of my vertebrae during surgery and that worries me a bit. We are still going to see the specialist, but they are going to wait to get us in until CD3 of my next cycle I guess. Mid July I think. They'll do a FSH and Estradiol test on me, semen analysis on DH. Then we'll go from there. I have been having cramping enough, though, that I think I've got cysts instead of ovulating. Thinking they are rupturing :(

Enough about me! How are you doing so far this month? Staying positive? Do you normally ovulate on your own?

Margie_M - Sorry to hear you're struggling! This can definitely be a downer. I am doing my best not to pay too much attention to it this month! I hope your mood improves and you start feeling more positive! Easier said than done!

kelley828 - I'd wait a few more days, girl. Your bbt could've dropped due to implantation so you wouldn't get a BFP yet. FX that is what's happening!

matherof3 - Definitely testing too early. I would wait a few more days and see where you are at then. Sometimes you won't get a BFP until after your missed period! Good luck this cycle!

Amanda_McDaniel - Wow, I really hope they get their BFP this cycle. That would be so hard. How long have you been trying? FX this is your month, too! What a great time to be pregnant!

Holly860 - Ugh, that has to be hard! I hear it more at church than work! Most of the people I work with are past the baby making stage. Not that it couldn't happen ... would be my luck! FX things get better for you!

TTClate30's - What DPO are you? I hate to hear you feel like you're out!! FX for you still!!

I can't go any further back, sorry!!

AFM - DH is gone until Wednesday for a conference in Phoenix. Must be nice! I wish I could've went with him! I love AZ. So that means a few days of quiet in the house and vegging out on sad movies and chocolate!! I am currently waiting on the results of my MRI so I know what the next steps are for this pain. I hope they figure something out that doesn't require more surgery. I am hopeful!

Yay! I was so afraid I wasn't going to ovulate this month, but I'm pretty sure now that I am. I've had two days of EWCM. I'm not temping, so I won't know exactly when ovulation will occur, but I know it's happening, and I believe it was last night….which means I could probably have conceived on Father's Day. My husband and I have bd'ed 5 times this week and will keep going to try and catch that egg . It will be SO great if this is our month, we go home for the 4th of July, and have a family photo session booked to have our yearly photos done. Usually we just set up a tri-pod and do them ourselves, but this year a girl we know is booking sessions to afford her next year abroad at college, and we wanted to support her, so we are paying for her photos. She is very artistic and we can't wait to see what she has in store for us…but all I can think is how great would it be to have her take a picture for our pregnancy announcement as well! It would be perfect! Please Lord let this be our month!

ladies!!!

10 dpo is when my temp dropped a bit, and also the same day that I was having some dull cramps (noticeable) on my right side. Could this have been implantation? And if so when would it be possible for it to show on a hpt? I am 12 dpo now and had a bfn this morning..

Kelley - it's possible that it was implantation cramps. remember it takes 24-72 hours to double so you could still be a few days away from seeing it built up enough for a BFP. I hope if you test tomorrow or the day after you will see your BFP.

Nharty- I'm 14 DPO today and I have been on progesterone suppositories so I stopped them today so AF will come and I can move on. We are going to try another IUI but The nurse said he only does 3 so that makes me sad. Especially since the last one only failed because the timing was off. I'm going to try a different OPK to see if I get better results. I pray I do!

TTClate30's: I hear your pain. This month I started using some cheap opk from the internet and they never gave me a dark test line. I think changing the brand is a good idea. I might try that too. Do you have any specific brand in mind?

I hope your IUI works out for you. I am having a hard time trying to convince my ob-gyn to try that out. She just keeps postponing everytime by 3 months asking us to wait and try for the next 3 months and it might happen naturally. It is so frustrating.

Good luck to you all ladies!

TTClate- Thanks for Crying with me. I am so sorry the IUI didn't work. What brand of OPK are you using right now. I use the Clear blue digital and I do like them. They are expensive.

Kelley- it sounds like it could be implantation( I have never felt it before) you get your BFP!!

For the rest of you girls feeling down and having a hard time staying positive I am right there with you. I feel so defeated. I hate facebook. I am so tired of seeing pregnancy announcements. I need some friends around me that I can just share a bottle of wine with and talk about how frustrating this is!
