stop peeing on sticks for a few days

even perfectly healthy pregnancies do NOT double overnight, your lines will not suddenly be twice as dark the next day.

Well- I am back from the store- armed with a 2 pack FRER digi, 1 equate +/-, and two 2 packs of Answers...do you think that's enough? ;-)

I will test on something around noon-ish! FX I get something decent back. I hate to get my hopes up and then get slammed in the face.

Oh and I am 12 dpo today. And I went back and re-checked this mornings answer test- it is much darker now that it's dried...and now it is only a little bit lighter than yesterdays test..so maybe that's a good sign.

yes, but I didn't freak out when they got lighter. Because I knew that happens. I also did not 100% trust any line until I got the positive digital... and after then I didn't care if the line didn't show because it was already confirmed. I was just using up the rest of my supply.

I had no idea they could get lighter and it still be OK... now I know...

So tell me- did you have any that got lighter after getting a +?? Didn't you get a "not preggo" on a CBE before getting a + on a FRER digi? I am trying to remember your details since it seems I am following your trend somewhat...lol!

I definitally won't consider myself preggo till I get a + digi too!

i didnt get PREGNANT on a CBE until a couple days after I got a YES+ on a FRER digi.

and yes, even now I get some where the lines not as dark as the control... (still whittling down my IC stash. just fun to watch them turn positive now) but I know not to freak. They arent quantative tests, they dont tell you how pregnant you are... they just tell you if you are pregnant.

So I'm 10DPO today.....POAS and got a . I also used my last CBdigi test (bummer...I totally should have waited) and it came up "not pregnant."

Trying not to lose hope. Hearing all the stories of ppl testing at 10DPO and getting negatives when they were infact pregnant is making me feel a *little* better. I hate waiting...and have ZERO patience. *sigh* My temp dropped slightly this morning..but nothing too big. Looking back at past cycles I could be getting my period tomorrow, Thursday, or Friday so who knows! I'll keep using the IC's to test in the morning until AF shows or is late....then I'll go buy FRER and some digi's.

That's all for now ladies...

but KingsDaughter........I am pretty sure you ARE indeed pregnant!!!!!!!! Keep us posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noon test results-

Held pee for 4 hours with no drinking of fluids.

Took Answer test- got a BFP although still light- but appears to be a smidge darker than yesterdays and definitally darker than this mornings...Also took another IC and finally got a definite although very faint second line on it- so far they had all been BFN. SO I am thinking that I am probably pregnant and will just watch and see how the next few days and tests go. I went ahead and told my DH and showed him the Answer test and he is THRILLED! :-)

I still won't totally get happy and celebrate till I get a + on a Digi! I plan to keep re-testing- starting tomorrow with smu!


Maeryn- Thanks for the info- I did buy a 2 pack of FRER digis and will use those first before I use my last CBE digi...

KingsDaughter, it definitely sounds like all those BFPs are right!

I, however, think I'm out.
http://www.mothering.com/discussions....php?t=1193421

If anyone has input on the thread I started, I'd love to hear it. I'm frustrated and bummed, even though we were really not TTC/not TTA.

I do hope everyone gets their BFPs! Tara, I'll be keeping watch for your results in the next couple of days!

Another BFN today and still no AF. I'm hoping (like Tara) that it still could be possible to get my BFP. I would guess that I am at 13dpo, and should have got AF two days ago. What's going on?? I just want to know!

Man I know the feeling...took another test tonight and it was . *sigh*

I felt extremely emotional today..and very tired. Laid down to take a nap the past two days. And today I cried like 4 times (normally with PMS i get SEVERELY cranky...poor DH!).

I feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat. But other then being tired (fairly normal) and crying.....I have no other symptoms really. Guess we'll see what happens tomorrow.....

bummed here

Well, I honestly don't know where I stand for sure. I am about 11 dpo and my test was negative again, even though I feel pregnant. I even did a silly thing and went and bought the first response early result test thinking maybe the dollar store test just wasn't very good.

Shouldn't have. It was a BFN!

Can't help but think my period is probably on it's way

Being a glutton for punishment, however, I will test again first thing in the am.

I hope you ladies have good news soon!

13 dpo today and took an Answer test first- the line came up right away and it made be hard to see in the pics but it is also MUCH darker than yesterdays!! So then I decided to try a FRER digi- then got brave enough to try the CBE digi (it said I was NOT preggo yesterday!!) Well look below and you can see the results for yourself!! WOOHOO! The Answer test was not even dry yet and the line is STILL getting darker!

Kings daughter~

Thanks so much for showing us all those pictures!!! WHOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have the same due date I would have if I got pregnant this cycle.

I'm not out yet!

Temp went up quite high this morning even though I was a little restelss sleeping (98.1). I also am very nauseous today and keep getting major hot flashes! WTH!? I might POAS again later. I used FMU and it was a stark white negative.

Again, I keep reminding myself that I got negatives all the way until 15DPO with DD! !!!!

I am using the IC's.....hmm..maybe I should go to the dollar store and get some of those tests? I got my first BFP (15DPO) with DD in the afternoon of the 15DPO.

I was quite nauseous this morning, I even full out gagged while eating breakfast...

In December, I had a 25 day cycle.

November, 29 days

October 26 days

End of Sept, 29 days

Beginning of Sept, 26 days

So I really don't know WHEN to expect if she is coming. Grr.

Since my cycles are really not seeming to be a specific number of days long....does that mean something really IS up with my hormones and something is out of whack? I AM nursing DD 1x per day..but it's really hard for me to think that that one nursing per day is throwing my hormones off this much...

I wonder why your IC's are so very light?? I thought they were supposed to be super sensitive (25mu?)? I know the dollar store tests are 25mu.....so maybe I should run there quick and pick up like 5 of them or something? I probably will..need some more RRL tea anyway.

Thanks for the encouragement! I might have to take one of the dollar store tests later tonight too!

I know exactly how you feel Tara. My cycles are 28 days and here I sit at CD 31 with no AF nor a BFP in sight. Another BFN this morning with FMU at 14dpo.

Sigh.

I'm out. showed up today. I'm actually kind of glad for this cycle to be over so I can temp correctly from CD 1 and know where I stand. Drinking wine as I type! I forgot how yucky cramps can be when I'm not on the pill.

Interestingly enough, I went off bcp exactly 30 days ago, so it turned out to be a pretty normal cycle length even though I thought I o'd late.

I'm psyched to chart for real this next cycle now that I've gotten familiar with FertilityFriend.

Good luck ladies!
