First.....be careful they are addicting! I'm a poas addict!

Ye, easy to get a bit obsessed with POAS! I'm 15dpo today I think, and due AF tomorrow. I thought I got a very faint positive on 12dpo, then a bunch of BFNs on the few days after! I think I got a very faint positive yesterday afternoon, I'm not sure, but too much testing just messes with your head. I've spent the past few days totally freaking out and obsessing about whether the tests were accurate or not. You get a faint positive, you worry if it is accurate or if you'll get a chem pg, but you get a BFN and you think maybe it's just too early...doing my best to hold out til Monday before I test again now!

Sorry I've been MIA.

Floz: I'm so sorry for your loss :( I know it is devastating.

MyLucky: I'm not too far behind you. I also got a BFP at 10dpo but with an ultra sensitive test from my OB/GYN office.

Had very 1st ultrasound yesterday and got to see our little munchkin and also hear the heartbeat. 154 bpm which they said was really strong. I have another appointment in 2 weeks for another ultrasound since I will still be too early for the fetal Doppler to pick up the heartbeat thru my tummy. I will also have a colposcopy done that day as well. My calculations were all correct and our EDD is still September 29, 2014. Ultrasound measured baby 2 days ahead.

Been busy planning everything for my sister's baby shower. She has a frog/turtle theme and it's so hard to find stuff. I took her to get her baby registry done and we had so much fun. So I've been busy buying and making stuff for her party: pacifier corsage, diaper cake, cupcake picks, party game ideas, prizes, etc. It's all figured out so we are all good. Her shower will be April 26th.

Nausea has been getting a little worse but not to the point where I vomit so no medicine at this time. Indigestion is pretty bad. Have had muscle cramps in my legs the past few days along with an excruciating back pain but I think I overdid myself when I lifted up too many heavy items while shopping a few days ago. It's getting better.

Ladies.......don't give up hope. God has a plan for each of us!!! Stay strong and let's keep supporting each other.

Firsttime: Yes I do get my strips on Amazon, it is more expensive though because it is sent to Canada.
Hope you caught that egg!

floz: So sorry for your lost, but it is a great sign you can get a , if you're up to it the cycle following a CP is a good chance for a sticky bean.

Serena: Welcome, and ! To msg privetly you click on the name of the person and "send a message".

spartie: Thanks. This last cycle was 14 day LP, first time over 12 days since started tracking.
Did you test again?

AFM: CD3, had a 14day LP last cycle first time over 12days in almost a year, I guess whatever I am doing is working. I had no mid LP spotting and had strong progesterone symptoms. I hope this keeps up.
I think this is our 14th cycle trying.
to all!

Well...I tested today, but I didn't need the BFN to tell me I was out. I had some very light spotting yesterday and today is now officially CD1. Took this one a little harder as it was my last BFN before my 37th birthday. I was hoping to have my BFP before then. Oh, well. On the bright side, I ovulate around my birthday so happy birthday to me...lol. I also have an appointment scheduled with my doctor around the same time. Hope to get some answers and some help and a BFP soon. for all of you still waiting to test. Sending your way.

shedalovebabies - sorry about BFN's :( so did AF come then???

aclark - lol that will catch an egg! DH and i don't have that kind of stamina, so that option is out for us ;) glad you have great line progression! and thanks, i want that for my bday :)

mrsrabren - welcome :) sorry about the BFN on friday :( FX'd for you!

while - still holding out to test monday?? FX'd for you :)

molldoll - i've heard of positive opk's during LP, but not a consistent answer as to what it means :/ i started temping a couple cycles ago. first one i did religiously, which did stress me. these last cycles i've only temped if it worked out (i did wake up at the 'same' time, did sleep well, etc.), definitely lowered the stress level :) also my graph comes out well enough, you can take a peek at it. lol i'll probably become an addict too :)

basia - ugh, sorry the appt was cancelled again!!! but yay the opk has been positive! catch that egg!

floz - sorry again hun :( how is your body doing? do you need to go back to the doc?

serena - welcome!!! sorry about the EP :( we are working on TTC #1 also. i'm a couple days behind you. i just ordered some internet cheapie tests for my testing :) when will you start? i think most regard 10DPO as the earliest potentially reliable day, but obviously anything goes until AF shows! and it is definitely possible to mentally make ourselves nauseous, especially with stress!

spartie - sorry about AF :( i ovulated this cycle just after my birthday, so i'm hoping i made a lil bean for my bday, hope you do for yours also!!

waitandsee - welcome, FX'd :)

mylucky - question, did you experience any cramping prior and/or at suspected implantation time?

caramellow - thanks for the input :)

fingerscrossed - FX'd for you! ;)

gds3 - hope you have been well :) glad lil bean looked well! was the colposcopy because of abnormal cervical cells? i forget. your sis' baby shower sounds cute!

koti - yup, ordered also from amazon :) shipping was about $5-6. so glad you had an awesome LP last cycle, hope you do again now :)

AFM, 4/5 DPO. (TMI alert) within 24 hours of O'ing my nipples get very sensitive and then by about 4 DPO my bbs get very tender. the nipple sensitivity should disappear in a couple days. the breast tenderness usually disappears at 10/11 DPO, so i'm wondering if it sticks around if that'll be my first BFP?? plan is to check my progesterone on monday since it was low, only 3.2 at 8 DPO my other cycle, to see if the clomid makes a better CL for me. otherwise it'll be back to progesterone supplementing for me during my LP time. Have noticed more twinges so far and tonight had some mild cramping for a couple hours.

Hey, everyone! I'm sorry for those who have gotten AF and BFN. )-: Boohiss.

@firsttime - I love the wondfos because they are really cheap, but I have a couple times were I thought it was a positive but it was either like an evap or a chemical or something weird.

@gds3 - Congrats on your good report!

@FingersCrossed - Ugh! I hate that - I'm really good at having line eye. It's such a mind game!

AFM - well, I've fallen into the trap. I'm somewhat obsessing over "symptoms." Today I noticed some lower back pain AND an extended period of time of noticable twinges/abdominal pain, and hoping it's implantation cramping. Also, my CM hasn't really dried up since O. I also was a little emotional today. So IDK. I broke down and tested, which I know is ridiculous because I'm 8 DPO. I tested this morning and tonight, and no surprise, BFN. I'm sure I will test tomorrow. I think my earliest realistic chance for a positive would be tomorrow night but really Monday morning. I have an adopted daughter who getting married and today we looked at dresses and she found her wedding dress. I was thinking about what I would wear for her August wedding, and hoping that I would be pregnant by then. Ugh. Who knows.

Anyway, this is a novel by now. I wanted to check in earlier today but was on my phone and busy. I guess I'm somewhat attached to you guys! (-:

Firsttime - Yes, I did! I actually knew what side the embryo implanted on before the Tech told me! I was like the baby is on the left, correct? She asked me how I knew...I told her that I only had cramping on that side.

Hi Ladies!

I apologise I've been stalking this board but not had the confidence to pos until now - too many disappointments for too many months!

I'm currently 16dpo (always get af 14dpo) and have had the lightest spotting since 12dpo, I guess I can't even really call it spotting (tmi just when I wipe) and is only ever the lightest pink or brown. Haven't really had that many symptoms, slightly sore bbs a few days ago and light cramping. Feeling nauseous yesterday and today though...... Really confused as when I was pregnant last time (miscarriage at 12 weeks) I had super strong symptoms from 6dpo and no spotting at all.

Anyway this morning I took a test and seemed to get a faint line taken on a completely empty bladder, don't really know why I thought that was a good idea but couldn't wait any longer! Could any of you take a look and see what you think? The link to my test is http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/my-images69916

I'd so appreciate any input and if anyone has ever had this spotting before? Makes me a bit worried if the test is positive.

Best wishes to you all - hope you get your bfps very soon!

Hi Roxanne I had a look at ur test and it looks like a positive to me hope all goes well and congrats!!
