Pandorica I’m so sorry girl.. I really am! Don’t give up. I’m sure if your body is and was able to get pregnant you will soon have a sticky one and in a glimpse of an eye you will hold your little one in your arms! Take your time if you need, but don’t give up..

Anna I’m genuinely so so happy for you!!! You give me so much hope girl! Now soon you will perform in real life all the moments you imagined yourself doing things with your big, beautiful belly

AFM I had a food poisoning the last two days and we didn’t BDed at all cause you know... I was mostly hugging the toilet lmao and I believe it was my O days but I’m not really sure cause no opks this month. I feel so good about my self and I, now really feel this ignorant bliss we talked about a while ago! Fingers crossed for everyone including me, we will get good news soon!!!

@Alex aww no I hope you feel better soon babe !! I'm glad I give you a little hope babe

@Alex - I'm definitely not giving up! Just feeling a bit defeated right now, that's all.

The thing is, when we were ttc our son I didn't have a single chemical pregnancy. This time around I have seen faint lines turn negative for over 20 cycles (of 26). A few of them may have been false positives, since I only got faint lines on ICs. But it's still hell of a lot too many. So something's not right. And the hcg never seems to rise above 25 or 30 at max, since I only ever gotten a positive digital one and it was faulty. Right now, I'm getting a blood test to check my thyroid and see if that may be a contributor to my chemicals or not.

Well I’m out AF showed up this morning right on time

@pando I am so sorry. I can’t even imagine going through something like that. It will happen and I hope you find out what the issue might be.

@anna I am so excited to see those lines get so much darker!!! I knew it was your month!!

AFM: definitely thinking everything is just the progesterone rising in a normal cycle. I am 5dpo today and still have sore nips and a little cramping on my left side to start and then on the right. My temp is rising even more today with a huge jump from 97.57 to 97.97 definitely feeling warmer all around too. Here’s hoping this is it!!

@pandorica I think that's the right steps babe keep us posted with the results okay

@mama I'm sorry babe hold on there okay maybe have a glass of wine

@Shay babe I had sore boobs from 5 or 6dpo so don't cross it out it's totally possible that it could be related !!

So I'm freaking out I get AF cramps on and off and it's making me paranoid

@Anna don't panic that's implantation. The process takes a few days. I had hard cramps for two days after i got my BFP and everything was fine! Hang in there! Keep testing and watch your tests get darker. I stopped testing at 19 DPO (cause i ran out of tests or i would probably still be testing!). Also keep an eye on your BBT. If it stays elevated and you have cramps its nothing to worry about!

@Mama i'm sorry you got AF. I just posted again on your question thread. I think you should try BBT this month so you will know next time you have spotting before AF. I'm so sorry

@Pandorica i'm so sorry about AF and your chemicals. Have you ever had your progesterone checked after O? Maybe you need a progesterone supplement to sustain pregnancy. It's a simple test you get done a few days after O. There are also progesterone strips you can buy online (i got some on Amazon) but they aren't quantitative so they won't tell you if progesterone is high enough they will just tell you if progesterone is there.

@anna I am not counting myself out. Just trying to stay neutral so I don’t get too excited and it turn into nothing yet. Definitely still feeling everything today!

I am so happy for everyone though!!

@Pandorica: I'm so sorry, I am in the same boat this cycle... You're in my thoughts!

@Anna: Your cramps are normal, the baby is probably just getting nice and nestled in. I always cramped badly with my previous pregnancies. Your line is so much darker and amazingly dark for how many dpo you are, so I wouldn't worry a bit!

@Mama: I am so sorry AF showed for you....

AFM: My .88c Walmart cheapies are still darker than FRER today, so I'm not sure what to think anymore. FRER is almost completely neg this morning, but Walmart cheapie seemed a tad darker than yesterday's? Cramping badly, keep expecting to start bleeding but haven't yet. Feel kinda sick and blah, super tired. Boobs more sore today than before. I'm just so confused at this point... if these were true pregnancy symptoms, wouldn't my tests be getting darker by now?? Would pregnancy symptoms get stronger if I were having a chemical?

Ladies... my Walmart cheapies (only .88c) are getting darker daily!! FRER, on the other hand, remain faint and disappearing!! This is insane!! I wish I could sue First Response for all my money I wasted on their tests, not to mention the stress and worry they've caused making me worry about a chemical!! I'm a lot more at ease now, because look at that 13dpo WALMART CHEAPIE test compared to the previous days of same brand!! Really putting faith that those Walmart cheapies are not messing with me...
