Dragonfly- i would only be 7dpo so it's still too early for me to test. I always told my husband as soon as the test was positive that we were expecting. He was there every step of the way.

Hberry I know the urge to test sometimes can be so strong but testing early will almost every time lead to unnecessary anxiety too so at this point it is what makes you feel better. For a long time I thought that testing early Will keep me sane and relaxed but I understood it did the exact opposite. It made me so obsessive. Now I don’t test AT ALL not even opks and I only have the really strong urge to test at around 11-12dpo when my pms anyways starts so I know I’m close to know! I hope you’ll find something to keep you busy till your far enough to test and (hopefully) see your Bfp!!

Dragonfly I agree with Hberry! I think is a journey you and hubby both need to be together! No matter what is something you both together created! And yay for hubby’s decision on that night! How are you feeling symptom wise now that you know? I’m asking because I believe that most of our symptoms before we actually be certain of the result is being exaggerated by our mind so yea.. what’s the most out there symptom at this point?

AFM I’m still a bit overwhelmed about the steps I need to keep till everything is under control but I’m kinda optimistic after a long time. RE gave me some more of blood work to do and results came back all normal so I’m happy for that. At least I don’t need to take any other medication right now yay lol
As for metformin.. she told me that I might experience some side effects like diarrhea and/or stomach ache but fortunately lucky me I don’t feel anything at all. Only thing, that I’m not sure it was due to the medication, was that on cd 7 I had some pink spotting that turned to brown really quick. I don’t know if that was a delayed after AF spotting since I usually spot roughly at cd6. Today everything is fine.
She also told me that on my fertile days I should BD every day in opposition to every other day my obgyn have told me before. What do you guys think?

Alex- that plan sounds like it would be an awesome one! So glad your labs came back normal! I offered to wash my friends blankets that his mom had in her truck that he inherited after her passing.
Afm its cd19 7dpo and af is due in 4ish days. Woke up from a dead sleep with a major urge to puke and still want to. Seems like my symptoms are getting stronger as days go by.

Morning ladies. Last night I told my husband and he was very excited. So that was last night. This morning I tested again and my heart sank to my stomach. It was definately lighter than yesterday but I don't know if it was an evap or if I did the test correctly. I feel like crying; well I am now; even though I don't know the outcome. Temp is still around 98.3 and AF is still due on the weekend. I honestly don't even feel like being at work. So, I'm sorry ladies, but I can't answer any questions on how I'm feeling now since finding out. I will not be taking any more tests or temping until my period is late. Does anyone have any insight to help ease this wandering mind of mine so I can get through the weekend? I will check in on the weekend sometime.

Good luck to those testing soon or gearing up for ovulation. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Congratulations dragonfly!!!! I'm so so happy for you! Just believe the baby will stick!!

@Nasake. Thank you. Today seemed like a very long day. I was having crazy symptoms all day at work. Heart palpatations when I'm calm (heard that's a good sign), and I got super winded doing the stairs and having to stop and rest. I get home from work and I looked at the test again and it dried darker and the line was thicker than the test line. I'm not testing till the latest Monday morning as I got my doctor's appointment on Monday morning before noon. I'm also going to stop temping as well; I'd rather not know. Now, I'm laying in bed, and my stomach is gurgling like crazy. Wonder that could mean and heartburn feeling in the bottom throat. So now I have to get through the weekend. Will check in with updates when able.

Dragonfly I will keep you in my prayers girl! Stick baby stick!!!!

Morning ladies!
I echo Alex's post! Stick baby stick!
It's cd 20 and 8dpo. Stomach is killing me once again but not bad like yesterday. I stocked up on mints to help. The antacids weren't doing much. Boobs are still sore and sensitive.

Thank you ladies. CTP says my AF is due today. So, I just have to get through today.

@Hberry. Those symptoms sounds very promising. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Dragonfly- thanks! I went to get dressed to run some errands quickly and I noticed my nipples were turning darker. That hasn't happened in any of my 4 pregnancies! Also had a very awkward dream that I had named the one twin girl something I didn't want to. Also in that same dream I wasnt sure what to name them so when the nurse asked what the names for the babies were I said I dont know I have to think about it. And with me in the room was my name sheet that I had typed out on my laptop. So weird
