Ok, so I'm 9 dpo today. Had a real squinter on my test with smu. I think I'm going crazy, 'cuz I can see faint lines on almost every test. I have some sort of dull pressure in my uterus, have a yucky taste in my mouth and sometimes a brief tingling in my breasts. But I don't trust the symptoms, since I always have some sort of symptoms with all my chemicals. Praying this is our month, I'm getting pretty tired of waiting now.

How's everyone else doing?

I looked at your tests. I hope the faint lines you are seeing darken up! 9DPO is pretty early for most women to see anything. Praying that this is your month too. Your BBT is remaining high!

I got my period on Saturday so I'm out again and start the long wait until I can test again in a month. I'll start OPKs again on Sunday and chart my BBT then to confirm ovulation. After this cycle I'm going to stop buying OPKS since I'm regular on when I ovulate. I'll just chart BBT to confirm and keep on bding until we get our baby. This is our 8th cycle ttc.

DiviniumLiv, did you test again today? Is it getting darker? If not I hope you test again tomorrow. Good Luck!

FlamingoGirl13 - I tested today, but still so faint it looks more like a shadow. Took a clearblue easy also and saw something really faint and blue, but I know they can have pretty nasty evaps. Have felt some sharp stabbing like pain a few times yesterday and today. Also have aching hips when I bend down too much, like in the beginning when I got spd with my son. Temp keeps rising and I try not to get my hopes up. It I can't see anything more than a shadow tomorrow, I don't think it will get any darker at all..

Keep your hopes up! It takes 2 days for it to double and in the beginning that can make a huge difference. How long is your lp usually? I've got my fingers crossed for you!

FlamingoGirl13 - My lp is usually around 14-15 days. And since I had such a slow rise this month and also still hade ovulation pain at cd 17, it could be I ovulated 2 days later than I think. So I could be 12 or 10 dpo today. Still faint test, but this time it's a 25mlU instead of a 10mlU. So hopefully it's started to rise, or It's an evap.

DiviniumLiv - I see more of something on the test you posted 4 hours ago. If you are 10 or 12 DPO you still have plenty of time to see that line darken up!

Good morning ladies and happy Friday the 13th. Hope everyone has a good day. This morning was a interesting one for me. I left my house like I normally do to catch the bus and when I looked back I saw it coming down the street and figured it was the same bus driver from all week so I didn't want to rush to the bus stop as the sidewalk was all icy and didn't want to fall. Well, the bus zoomed right by and I waved for him to stop but he kept going. I had to walk a few long blocks to a different bus stop as I knew that one is coming real soon and it was my last chance. So, I got to the street lights where I can see the bus coming down the street and thinking to myself, please stop. I too had to flag that one down and thankfully he stopped. I get downtown where I ran into the bus and so I got on that bus and said to the bus driver, "I'm not sure what your protocol is for not stopping when someone waves you down." He then tells me that I didn't wave and that we went back and forth on that where I just out right told him, "I'm three months pregnant, you expect a pregnant girl to run to catch the bus." After I told him that his dameaner changed and he felt so bad. I reassured him that it's okay and he even offered to buy me a coffee. Then tells me how kind I am (and I am) as I don't normally say anything but today I did and that kindness kills people. Not sure what he meant by that. Anyway, that was my morning. I hope everyone has a good day and good luck to anyone testing soon and/or in their fertile week waiting to ovulate.

Goodmorning!

Dragonfly23, I'm so glad you were able to catch the bus! Sounds like that bus driver will be more courteous to passengers from now on. I'm not really sure what he meant by kindness kills people... I've heard that before but I guess I just don't understand that saying.

I have some exciting news this morning! My twin sister took her Nexplanon out at the end of January. She's been having a long irregular cycle and her GP told her it's probably because she is still breast feeding so it will be hard to pinpoint ovulation. Well she started testing once a week and this morning she got her BFP!! This is her second baby. Her first will be 2 in August. I'm guessing she will be due late December but with her irregular cycle they'll probably use an ultrasound to find the edd. Anyways! Just wanted to share my families happy news!

I'm going to start using OPKs and BBT on Sunday and will most likely ovulate next Saturday on CD15. I talked to DH about taking a vitamin that supports healthy sperm and he said he would so I just ordered a one month supply. If we don't conceive this cycle I'll order more.

@FlamingoGirl13. That's amazing news to hear. I hope the pills you got your hubby works for him and that you will get your BFP this cycle. Monday morning, I have my gyne appointment so I am hoping that I will finally be able to hear the heartbeat. I'm still debating if I want to buy a doppler but would that just cause more anxiety if I check it every day to make sure baby is doing well? I finally treated myself to a pop (Dr. Pepper; my favorite) today. I don't drink a lot of it, just Ginger Ale when I am not feeling well and I hardly drink the whole bottle anyway and not even half of it.
