@alex I'm sorry for your negative. I'm still rooting for you.

I am at 11dpo.
I've been getting vvvfl on tests since 8dpo. At 8 I was worried it was an evap so wasnt really thinking it was real.
9dpo another vvvfl
10 dpo the test was faulty or I did it wrong (the control line took over 10 mins to show up).
This morning I'm 11 dpo, and the line showed up the fastest but is still very faint.

I'm not really believing it until I take the expensive digital on Tuesday (AF due). Or until the line isnt so faint that I have to squint. I'm having trouble getting a picture with my phone (plus the quality goes down if I upload, but I did add one here)

I'm having trouble accepting it's true, so we will see what tomorrow brings.

Symptom wise since 9 dpo I've essentially just been extra tired, and my sense of smell is heightened.
We only BDed once on ovulation day, but that was THE day I got my IUD out so I did not think this would happen. Finger crossed it sticks.

@hpenny I see it! It's still very very early so at this point any line is hopeful!

@erin congrats on your bpf!!! I'm so excited for everyone.

DH wont believe it till it's a dark dark line. So I'm waiting till Tuesday to tell him :) we have had so many set backs (including cervical cancer) that it's great to have good news :)

Dh and I bd this morning. Hoping to get 1 or 2 more times in today to catch the egg. 3 more days until ovulation

So 12dpo. I got another vvfl.

Yesterday and this morning I've had some spotting (mostly light pink-brown) and cramping which of course is worrying me.

The combo of spotting and the lines not really getting darker is certainly dampening my excitement. I know there's nothing I can do but wait and see. But waiting sucks.

@hpenney there's always a silver lining! Even if it ends up being a chemical - you know that you CAN conceive. If it is a chemical though I would recommend having progesterone studies done, because spotting during your luteal phase is an indicator of low progesterone, which can cause miscarriage. All that said, hopefully that line darkens up!

@erin how have you been feeling?

Also, good advice! If it is a chemical I'll give my gyno a call and see what she says!
The spotting hasnt gotten worse but I was very crampy this afternoon like AF was coming. So it's a waiting game to see what happens. It's not like there is anything I can do but see what happens. You're right, even if it's a chemical we know we CAN get pregnant so things are working!

Morning! How is everyone feeling?
AF was due yesterday and even though I had 4 positive tests it was nice to have that extra confirmation of her not coming! My son is super poorly though so that’s put paid to me going back to work today.

@Klyla. I'm doing pretty good today. The weekend was very rough and emotional for me; lots of crying. Today seems to be a better day but the day isn't over yet. Is this ypur first day back to work? Glad AF stayed away and to have that extra confirmation. Does your hubby know?

@Hberry. Hey girl. I hope you guys were able to catch the egg this cycle and you gwt your BFP in a couple weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@E. How are you feeling? Has your lines gotten darker?

@Alex. Try not to be so hard on yourself if AF shows her ugly face. Your time will come when you least expect it.

Thanks dragonfly. Tomorrow is Ovulation. Today I've been feeling lots of twinges. Im keeping fingers crossed myself.
