Ladies. I'm terrified I might have chemical pregnancy. Please, talk me out of this.

Took a 10mIU/ml HPT after 3 hour hold. I was dry heaving all morning so I just couldn't resist. Got this in 3mins...

First I screamed and was jumping up and down like an idiot. Then just got really scared this is not going to stick. AF would be due in 3 days. I know I tested way too early.

Stay strong Mira, whatever happens is out of your control. The only thing you are in control of is your response

Mira I am so excited for you!!! Enjoy this time and relax!! Try not to over think it and just breath.

AFM: This morning I found that my temps are so greatly affected by my surroundings!! I took my temp twice this morning, once orally and once vaginally. At first I was so disappointed by my oral temp. It was still below my cover line though slightly higher than yesterday. So I decided to just check my temp vaginally as our nights have gotten cooler and we sleep with window open and fan on. Well my temp was over a half degree higher!!! I was ready to count myself out, but truly I am not out yet. I feel like I need to disregard yesterday’s temp too. I am trying to be patient and wait for at least 12dpo to test since my LP is usually 12-13 days. Plus I usually get spotting starting at 10-11dpo. So far no spotting and no other typical signs of af. I am only 10dpo today so I am trying so hard to be patient!!!
Good luck ladies!!!

Here is my chart both with yesterday’s temp and without.

11 dpo today so 3 more days. Praying I don't dip below. God please I want that bfp

@Alex I send you a big hug, it's really difficult to manage all these difficult emotions.
Unless we have this place to write and share them, it is helping me this cycle a lot.

@Mira! Amazing news! Try to relax and I wish you good luck!

@Shay, I admire your patience! You are doing great, good luck also to you!!

AFM 3DPO and no big symptoms, just very intense dreams. I have practiced mindfulness this morning and today I start Pilates! I could not continue BD after the O day, I hope it was enough!

and to all!!

I got my today, 12dpo and day after af was due. I can’t quite believe it! If all goes to plan baby will be born just after my 40th birthday

Thak you all for support. ??

@Shay Your temps really do look promising.

@russian

AFM. Yeah, reasons to stress out seems to multiply. My son's daycare has a fifth disease epidemic. Had to contact prenatal care practitioner already. She discusses the situation with a doctor and calls me back tomorrow what is our plan. First actual appointment isn't untill next month. I need this little one to be really sticky. And I hope my son doesn't get sick.

Like how my comments are just read over and no reply

Russian congrats!!! That is so exciting!!

Mira I would be stressed about all the sickness stuff too!! Ugh I am a teacher so I hate hearing students go home sick but came to school first!! Like my goodness I don’t want your germs!!!

Neisamar it is so important to stay relaxed and continue to exercise while waiting to know!! I went to one of the classes at my gym yesterday too!! Hoping to make it today as well!!

GamerWife just be patient. It is hard to keep up with all the different posts sometimes. Your temps have stayed up which is good. Fluctuating temps are so stressful!!

AFM: 11dpo and just sitting waiting. Not feeling the same need to test like other cycles. Maybe because hubby and I keep talking about everything going on. It is nice to know we are both at the same place. We will be ecstatic if we get a positive this month, but at the same time we are just happy my body seems to be returning to normal and ovulating two months in a row!!! I haven’t had any symptoms the last day or so. Nothing for af or otherwise. Only thing off was I had a hard time eating dinner last night. My in-laws made pasta with marinara sauce which I love!! Yet I could barely get it down!! Like I did not want to eat it once I started. Really odd for me. But otherwise things are fine. No spotting yet like I usually get right before af. My LP is only 11-13 days so I am shocked there is no spotting yet. I usually get it two days before af arrives. Guess time will only tell!!

Oh temps are back in the rise too. Been taking them both orally and vaginally, don’t worry been washing everything too haha but either way my temp is going up and not down so that is good!!
