Barely there--Yeah, I agree with you--I bet you're something like 9 or 10 dpo. When i was 10 dpo I got a muddy looking blue dye test, with perhaps the faintest of faint lines, and I thought it was prob because maybe I picked it up too soon and the control line bled. The next day I took a FRER and got nothing (note: i was doing these mid day). But that blue dye test put hope in my heart and it put a smile on my face when i thought about it. So I waited 3 days before testing again, and when I did I got my no-doubt-about-it BFP! So I think you'd be best off giving it a few days cause if you test tomorrow with urine thats too dilute, or whoknowswhat, it could show nothing and you could needlessly scare yourself. Just hang onto that test and use it to remind yourself to hope and think positively!! So exciting!!!!

Dbirdie- I completely failed on holding out until Monday for testing! Whoopsie! BUT there is definite progress in front of my very eyes! Uploaded another photo and I just can't believe how clear it is,even on here! (I find they lose so much quality due the uploading process?!)

Been a while since I posted ladies, lots of stuff happening last 2 days with me.

As of now 12 dpo, and had something like an implantation bleeding on the 10 and 11 dpo. Had very light pink, red and brown spotting ( sorry for the tmi) on the TP. Was scared my AF showed up but the spotting stopped since lat night. So too confused to figure out what is happening. FXd , but couldn't resist and took a test and got BFN.

AF is due on Tues, so will wait for another test. Hoping it won't show up. Any advice when my HCG would go up after the IB and when I should take the test. Was I too early in testing?

Barely: congratulations!!!

MrsRabren: GL to u soon

barely: that was an awesome progression only for a day! I am so happy for you!

Hello ladies! Congtats to the BFP still coming up!

I'm still on the December 2014 board. I've had various symptoms during this TWW. Nothing too major. ..no heavy or swelling breasts....so a lil confused. I woke up this morning to pains on my lower ab, like pms type of pains but a lil severe. ..could this be implementation pains or AF knocking?

The pain when it hits it goes as far as hurting my lower back...

A lil assistance pls....tnx in advance ladies!

Ahhh I give up this month!!!
I have no idea what my cycle is doing! first I take af, lasts 7 days, 4 days later I ovulate, on ovulation day I take another bleed, full 7 days it lasts and instead of regular af pattern (first day mild, 3 days heavy then tapers off over few days) that particular bleed was heaviest the last 3 days out of the 7 days it lasted. So I used to get a lot of ovulation bleeding... so I assumed that was all it was, especially as temp's stayed up etc etc... On the off chance I decided to keep taking ovulation tests just incase it was another af, and low and behold I have a blazing positive opk test today ( and also pain in right hand side.. now when I ovulated this cycle it was also ovulation pain right side.. this pain actually feels like its coming from between ovary and hip bone) NO ewcm today tho, which I usually have ovulation day... I thought it is totally impossible to ovulate twice in one cycle????!!! So that makes me think last bleed was an actual af? and my cycle has gone from 29-36 days to 12 days???? But then what about my temps? I certainly don't think Im pregnant (sometimes positive line on opks) because those sperm would have needed propellers to get up there after bleed. Pormatris (rubbish tests) pregnancy tests have had evap lines.. but they have had that from 2dpo ( I wanted a negitive tests from 2 dpo to compare against come 10dpo ) theres defo no positive line on them. I am getting so confused I m loosing the will!! Does anyone know if this could be a sign of menopause or something? 34 yrs old! help!

Hi Ladies! I was active on the October board but since started working and been REALLY busy! We didn't stop trying but we weren't focusing as much on it. My husband was out of town for work while I thought I'd be ovulating, so I counted us out for this month.

Then I got crazy erect nipples. Normally, I get breast tenderness before AF, but I didn't get that. Just 24/7 erect nipples. So, that was my first sign :) I was also gassy, like woah really really gassy (still am).

I got a positive hpt! I've been waiting to hit day 40 (today) as my longest cycle over the last year was 39 days to really let myself let it sink in. It would be 2 years in May since our first MC since TTC. It's been a long battle, but I'm still trying not to get too excited before the 12 week mark. December 16th is my EDD.

Anyhow, I just wanted to thank YOU ALL for the words of encouragement in the past and being there for all of us in answering questions and being vital support systems. Good luck and baby dust to you all!

Spartiechic: I'm only on cycle 6 of TTC but it's still disappointing when AF shows...what helps me is that my hubby and I have been working really hard to pay off debt (student loans, car, mortgage) and every month it's a BFN we are able to put extra money towards debt...once we get a positive that extra money will go into savings for baby related stuff...it may not seem like much, but it's a small comfort to me-every month we pay extra on our debt, the less we owe and the better off we will be when the BFP comes!

Good luck!

Barely there-- WOOHOOO!!! Look at that line! Its a no-doubt-about-it BFP! Super happy for you. :-)

Skellynet-- I'm sorry your being yanked around by your cycle. Sounds so frustrating! I don't know anything about it, but have you researched PCOS? There are lots of girls on here with that, and I think one thing that happens is you get real wacky cycles. But I could be wrong!

sorry i've been MIA for a while! here goes what will likely be a huge post (sorry!)

saraly3 - i kinda do the same with debt. we have so darn much of it and i like to think we're getting more and more prepared for baby by working on the debt.

sydnergy - i remember you :) oh i'm so glad you got a BFP!!! it's so crazy how many gals get one when they 'aren't trying'. sticky vibes to you! i'm still in the TWW and i had a couple days of whoa nipples, but they're behaving now ;)

skelly - omg hun i really don't know what to say about your cycle(s)?? i think you really need to get in to your doc so they can shine some light on this, maybe a blood test or two, because you really need to find out what's happening so you can time your BD'ing! i hope there's nothing that can't easily be worked with/fixed!

ladySG - what DPO are you at?? i've had various cramping at many stages in the TWW and nothing has worked out for me. so honestly we really can't say if it means something or not until that second line shows. GL that you do get a BFP!!!

namsmoms30 - i really hope that was IB and not a sneak peek of AF. the one cycle i had bleeding starting at 8DPO led to AF starting at 10 or 11DPO (i forget). if it is IB i forget if it takes 2 or 4 days later for the hcg to be in the urine. FX'd for you!

barely there - that is awesome!!!! congrats and sticky vibes!!! that is kinda funny with thinking there wasn't an O this month ;) good thing you BD'd every couple days!!

dbirdie - congrats!!!! and sticky vibes to you!!! so you had a very faint BFP at 10DPO? i hope i get as lucky! and glad the lil bean is where they should be in the uterus ;)

mrsrabren - so sorry about AF :( SS is ok, just as long as you stay in perspective. I'm now so familiar with my symptoms that i don't falsely get excited. this site helps so much since i can check past cycles. GL at your job :) and many people can take 6-12 months, so don't worry if no BFP by month 6!

vettech - sorry i don't see anything yet either. i hope a test in a couple days has something we can easily see :) you have such a positive outlook with continuing to travel until you get your BFP :)

jfh - are you waiting to test until after wednesday if no AF? things are promising so far! did you get your progesterone tested? if you do have a next cycle, i definitely recommend bbt. the opk only says you have the LH surge, O not guaranteed. the bbt confirms you did O, and helps you see what day it was likely on.

ameejo - sorry about AF :(

Tfor#3 - if AF is late and you have a BFN then you likely ovulated later than you thought. did you do BBT checking to confirm O? OPK's aren't as reliable, since they can be positive but don't guarantee O. i would keep testing every couple days and hopefully no AF!

spartie - i also have a DH with an awesome SA and i've been having now multiple eggs each month and still no baby, so what is wrong?? i think we need to be gentler on ourselves. i've never had a BFP either. and the last few cycles when AF shows i have to allow myself a cry so i can move on. i'm glad your DH is so supportive :) i'm at the 1.5 year mark and i won't lie, it's getting harder and harder with each cycle. i'm still searching for how to make it easier so if you find anything good please share :)

helly - sorry about your MC :( my EDD would be the 26th if we are successful. GL to us both!

runnermama - i hope you do get a new year's baby!!

maxval - FX'd!!!

runnermom30 - wow i never knew you could order labs online?!?! i had to peek out of curiosity and there's no labs within 100 miles of me... which is probably a good thing! good first beta test!!! hope it climbs and climbs!!! and glad the progesterone was good!

hopefulmomma2b - you can check out my bbt chart on my page and see how mine isn't as smooth this month either. i have my last couple months displayed so definitely have a look if you'd like. based on your FF chart i definitely see why CD 10 and 15 are potential for O days. did you do any opk testing with the bbt?

edisaster - did the spotting stop yet?? sticky vibes to you!!

babydust85 - started my crazy testing ;) negative, but no surprise at 8DPO yesterday. see my post at the bottom.

maddiesmommy - congrats!!

shelby - don't worry, i'm testing way too early also :) have you tested again yet?

maripari - glad your friends were happy :) i'm sure you'll still have a great party! my sis wasn't 21 yet and we had a great time still, drinking not needed :) good betas thus far!!!

chelsea - have you done any more betas??

AFM, 9DPO. for a few days i had insanely painful bbs and they actually were quite large a couple days there. overall not too different from other cycles tho. DH and I quite enjoyed how impressive they looked, since i'm barely a B on a good day :p the pain got old tho, and since last night the pain has let up considerably. i feel not much is happening at all. not really any 'new' symptoms. started my crazy lady early testing last night, negative of course, but oh well :) My DH is strangely much more interested in this TWW than any other past cycle. He keeps asking if I know yet, when will I know, when will I test, says comments that i'm pregnant, etc. which is completely new for him.... maybe he's so hopeful this cycle since we were likely having 4 eggs release and can't help but think we had to of caught one at least!!
