Thank you all for your kind words, it truly means a lot I believe I had my first experience with a chemical.. I’m 3-4 days early for AF which is extremely unusual for me. **TMI warning if you don’t want to read further....
I felt a couple pains and pulls last night around 11pm but didn’t think much of it with all the strange symptoms I’ve had going on. Woke up this morning at about 9am went to the bathroom, to my surprise there was obviously blood. When I got up I noticed I had passed a dime sized clot among the other. Cleaned up and went back to sleep, I was so upset. Woke back up at 11am and there was a lot less blood than earlier but I threw a tampon in and got dressed. I just got home and took it out, it was just dark brown, not a lot, no “regular” and nothing since then. My cramping has stopped for a couple hours now. Boobs are still sore as hell also. Im so confused and hurt because now I think for sure that’s my “faint line” really was a line now. Hubby is devastated and I’m not looking forward to him coming home from work because he was convinced I was pregnant. It’s been a bad day in my neck of the woods

Hi ladies I have a question about EPO. I’m CD9 now and I started taking 1300mg 2x a day starting Tuesday night (CD7) and I don’t have that much cm yet. For those that have taken it, about how many days did you til you noticed more cm?

Congrats, ppp! Yea!!

Hey ladies! I’m still lingering here! Congrats PPP020 hoping the line gets darker!
Sorry to the ladies who had AF rear her ugly head! Hope you get your BFPs this cycle! Xx

AFM I am patiently (or unpatiently) awaiting my 8 wk scan on April 23. Had my bloods done to check my progesterone levels, dr said if they were below 60 she would put me on progesterone suppositories, levels came back at 70.9! So far everything is progressing normally and I’m just praying they continue to progress. Almost wish I was going for another HCG test to ensure they are still doubling normally, but then I’d just have something else to stress about! Lol.

It’s amazing how much you worry about every little thing when you’re TTC and then it doubles when you finally get your BFP!

@BB2018 - For me, with EPO I’d say it took 6-7 days too see an increase in cm. I really just observed more fertile cm during all my fertile days. Hope that helps!

@Tryingafterloss - Those sound like great progesterone levels! Can’t wait to hear about your 8week scan!

AFM - i’m Having trouble deciding if I should test in the morning or not. I’ll be 13DPO and DH and I just want to know if we conceived or not this cycle. I want to hold off for 14DPO, but at the same time I just want to test and get it over with. I can always take another test if I skip my period.

Flamingogirl I'm in the same boat as you... I had a tiny bit of spotting today at 8 dpo (honestly the teeniest spot of brown blood) and I'm no longer dizzy or cramping. I have an 11 day luteal phase so I'm thinking it could be AF on it's way so I'm tempted to test already just to get it over with. When are you going to test? I'm due Monday so will test Sunday and spend the day in mourning and then just get back on with it!!

Ooh, i can't wait to see if any of the hpts coming up are positive! I thought i was having period cramps but it wasn't. So, that may be good news?
Tryingafteraloss, im worried about my levels. I thought i was in the higher end but the nurse called yesterday and said they called the 4th and wanted me to come back in for 1 more hcg test. She said my levels low? At 3w4d it was 101 and 4w it was 410. Isnt that normal? I go at 9 this morning to get labs again. Now I'm a nervous wreck!

@Kelliria those number sound pretty good to me! I’m not sure why they would say they are low?! Please don’t stress too much! Do you know when you’ll get your lab results back? I will keep you in my prayers for a healthy pregnancy. Xx

@Flamingogirl13 - oh no so I should’ve started taking it on CD1? I thought I wasn’t supposed to start taking it til after AF???? I’m CD10 today and been taking it for 3 days, I hope it still helps me. I did see extra cm this am, and I usually don’t ovulate til CD12-14 (I have a 27 day cycle) so I’ll just keep everything crossed it’ll all work out still????????

Good morning/afternoon everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday as best as they can. Good luck to anyone testing soon and/or waiting to ovulate. Hope to see some BFPs get posted.
