@Ksyd94 - I think that a few days is plenty of time after implantation! I usually start to see a second line at 10dpo. As for the sharp pains, it could be normal for both AF and pregnancy. Do you normally get them when you're expecting AF? I have felt them in both cases, but everybody is different...
Good luck! :)

KEYD- I tested three days after my implantation bleeding and got my bfp then. So hcg should show up. I also had sharp pains in my abdomen, they have subsided now and I have some very mild cramping which is normal for pregnancy. Sounds promising! I hope you get your bfp tomorrow.

I am 1 hour away from my first doctors appointment. I am hoping the blood draw shows a good amount of hcg!

@sweetlips - Good luck! I'll be sending good sticky vibes your way!

@meplus1 I haven't had sharp pains before AF in the past. This is new to me. I had the first really sharp pain in the morning of the day that I had my spotting and have had a few less intense ones since then. Hoping its a good sign :)

@sweetie that's great to hear! Congrats again on your BFP! & I hope you have great news from your bloodwork! I will be sure to let y'all know about the outcome in the morning. I saw where you said you used progesterone cream this cycle. I'm thinking of trying it if I haven't gotten my BFP soon!

@purplesummer1205 Thank you for the warm welcome!
@Ksyd94 For You!!!
@Vettechgirl11- I'm sorry. Your not alone we here for you!
@MePlus1- i will be trying Preseed this cycle. I will be following your story hoping for a BFP.
As for me I'm ready to start this next cycle!!!

@Beaut1ful38 - I hope Preseed works for you too! Just a few things about it... you don't need a lot, we only use 2-3 on the tube depending on how much fluid I have naturally. Also, I do not get up afterwards (usually until morning), but if you need to I would recommend using a softcup. I hope it works for me again! I'll let you know. I'll start testing in a week and a half! Feels like forever! Ugh ;)

@Beaut1ful38 and meplus1... I also tried preseed this month, will let you know if it worked! 6 dpo for me today.

Tomorrow is my progesterone test but I think I have to miss it. Does anyone know if it makes a difference getting the test done the morning of CD 22 instead of 21?

@Ruby0709 - Good luck! I hope it worked for you! I'm not sure about the prog test. Sorry! Is that through your doctor or is that something that you purchased and do at home?

Ruby- my doctor says it doesn't matter as long as you know that it is cd22 that you got the progesterone test done.

@meplus1... my doctor ordered it along with some other tests... I spot ~ 4-5 days before all the way up to AF each month so she suspects a luteal phase defect or low progesterone.

Thanks sweetlips. I'll make sure I let the doc know I went CD 22 instead of 21.
