@Texasgirl - I don't see anything, either - but it does look like the dye maybe bled a little around the test line?

@Basia - I tested again last night and this morning (this morning is 9 DPO) and BFN. )-: I had a headache last night and there's always hope that is related, but I am not really feeling much, and my window of time so see a BFP is coming to a close. I should see one by tonight or tomorrow at the latest if it worked this cycle. Where are you in your cycle?

Ugh! It's frustrating. Our issue initially wasn't so much getting pregnant as it was STAYING pregnant, and then once we got a diagnosis and a potential solution, now we aren't GETTING pregnant. FRUSTRATING. This is our seventh month trying for number four. GEEZE LOUISE. Okay, had to vent. (-: If I don't get a BFP by tomorrow I want AF to come as quickly as possible so we can get this show on the road. Maybe it will start Monday, but it should definitely I think by sometime on Tuesday.

While - I am 5DPO and all symptoms I am feeling are because of trigger/progesterone. Actually those symptoms are slowly going away. I don't have that much hope for IUI to work for us (not sure why I just don't). I think in March we might do IVF.

this is our 3rd IUI and the craziest thing is that beside my husband and one friend nobody knows we are doing this. I think I will keep it a secret till something works for us.

@basia, wow! Way to keep it a secret! It's nice that you have an outlet on this site. (-: People know about ours.

Yeah it is interesting with IUI as far as them working or not. I have a friend who has used IUI for all of her pregnancies. (She has had a total of five pregnancies - two of those were losses and she is currently pg with twins - inducing Tuesday.) But then I have one friend who IUI didn't work for and their son is from IVF. She did have I think one miscarriage and I'm not sure if that was IUI or IVF. Anyway, how do you feel about doing the IVF?

I am excited and hopeful :)
And honestly I hope for twins - that way I do it once and I am done :D

our insurance will pay for a big part of the IVF - I anticipate few thousands to pay out of packet (mostly for drugs) but we are ready financially for it.
I am a saver :) so I have money saved and I think this is a great way for us to spend money.

Honestly if this whole thing does not work then I am not sure if we will try to adopt or find a surrogate mother (depends on my husband) I think I will be open to both - I would prefer adoption but I would not argue with him about it.

You girls are testing way too early. Remember, the average for implantation is 9-10dpo. And then it takes a few days for hcg levels to be high enough to get a positive hpt.

The people who get a positive at "6dpo" are absolutely incorrect about their ovulation date. And a positive at 8dpo is very rare.

Thanks ek.I just feel so blah, stated to cry when watching the Walton

Girls if you don't test positive tomorrow you are not out!! . The only time I tested positive (granted it was a chemical) wasnt until 12 days past iui. I had implantation bleeding 2 days prior. You gotta stay positive and trust me I know how hard it can be. I'm the biggest negative Nellie there is but I'm forcing myself to be positive this month. Maybe it's because I just "feel" like it's my month.
