February Obsess and Test!! - Page 2

[pollyanna123]

Is this thread for obsessing over HPT's only, or do OPK's count? I'm on CD25 but I haven't ovulated yet, so I'm still obsessing over the large amounts of OPK's I've been taking.

[chainedangel]

if it's a stick that you pee on that you are obsessing over- you're in the right place! LOL

[SML27]

I'm here! I only tested twice this weekend, which is completely stupid since I'm not charting and can only guess that was between 3 and 7dpo.

I'm doing my very, very best not to test until Friday 5th (9 - 12dpo), but I know that I want to test on Wednesday (6-10dpo) even though it's waaaay too early. Hi, my name is SML27 and I'm obsessed!

Someone stop me from peeing on one of my nice FRER's!!

[JessieBird]

Well even though I knew better, I went to the dollar store at lunch today. Thank goodness there was another line!!! Mid-afternoon after two cups of tea no less! Yippee! I really would have been mad at myself if it had been stark white.

I just *had* to have something to stare at all day at work, having left this morning's ICs at home (what was I thinking?). My dollar store BFP feels like my little office pet that I have to check on every few minutes. SO FUN!!!

Pollyanna, I can't speak for what's normal in this thread because I'm new here but since waiting to O is that much more agonizing for most of us than the 2ww is, I'd say pee on those OPKs and tell us all about it.

[mumma cop kaz]

JessieBird- Yay for you


AFM: Im CD 15 and monitor is still low and neg OPKS, WTF, by this time every cycle my monitor is at least on high, i cant help but wonder if I wont O this cycle. Although im praying tha O holds out to the weekend I cant help but feel disappointed that im still on low!!

[Tara2]

Jessiebird- congratulations!

Kingsdaughter- yay on rising temps!

Indianagirl- you will

AFM I consider myself another no go on O... unless by a miracle temp is up tomorrow. REALLY doubt it, but dang it why did I have dry up and everything if it was another falsie? I now have quite the collection of positive OPKs from the last month, each leading nowhere : (

[MaerynPearl]

obsessing of any kind, testing of any kind. the pregnancy tests are more common but we welcome OPK obsessing too!

[chainedangel]

So I went to the $ store w/ my best friend.
Picked up 2 tests.
Went home.
Started supper.
Peed in cup.
Continued cooking supper.
Went back to bathroom and put my dropper in the cup and dropped it on the stick.
Waited.
Thought I might have seen something but needed to get back to cooking supper.
Put the test in my pocket and went back to stove.
Stirred a bit so it wouldn't burn.
Went back to the bathroom and looked at the test again.


A dark enough for the girl w/ bad eyesight to see line was there... Could it be evap? Well, Amanda... since when are evaps PINK?!?!?!?!?!

BFP-BFP-BFP-BFP!!!!!!!! 11dpo And I got my bfp! I'd post pics but there are ppl right in the room that should not know before dh... DH is at work.

OH. MY. GAAAAWWWWDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[madeofstardust]

Congrats Amanda!

I'm so excited for you! I have hope for my BFP in the next couple weeks!

[~Adorkable~]

a bit strange that this TTC thread is hosted by a lady that has no more tests to take seeing as she graduated from this whole TTC sub board weeks ago

[nymomma]

Congrats Chained Angel!

That is great news. And for only a dollar!

AFM, BFN on ic. Temp still up - but feel very PMSy.

And Jessiebird, I know exactly how you feel. I would do the same thing. I have done the same thing.

[Jenne]

I was so going to wait until 14-15 dpo if my period didn't show up this cycle instead of obsessing. Except that yesterday my Mom asked me twice (2 seperate times!) if I was pregnant. When I told DH he said, "Take a test!" and went out and bought the tests... and BFF said, "And why are you waiting?" So I caved. Negative.

Sigh.

I'm only 9dpo today though so maybe in the next few days...

We'll see.

Congrats to those with ++++++++ tests! Sticky baby wishes for those waiting to test/O.

Jenne

[KingsDaughter76]

5 DPO today- starting to feel the strong urge to pee on a stick...must wait longer...must wait longer....lol!

[SML27]

I ended up caving yesterday (stupid!) and POAS at 10pm (I know! Even worse!) but it was a Dollar Store test so it doesn't count.

Big fat glaring, blinding white negative, of course.

I'm really beginning to feel symptomatic...bloated, nauseous, crampy. But it's probably just my body making up things.

I'm going to test for realsies tomorrow morning with FMU and a FRER. Best I could be would be 11dpo at that point. You never know, right? RIGHT??

[pollyanna123]

Great, because I am officially obsessing over OPK's! I'm not temping because I don't get consecutive hours of sleep at night, so I can't actually verify my ovulation until I get AF or a BFP.

I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday or today (I had EWCM and I usually ovulate CD 20-24), but I know my OPK's are technically negative. It's just that I've done OPK's to conceive both of my kids, and I don't think I've ever had a *truly* positive OPK.

Here are some pictures. My positives tend to have only a tiny line on the side that is as dark as the control. The three on the top are from last November, that OPK in the middle is, in hindsight, the most positive OPK I got.

I need to assume one way or the other, though, because I need to start natural progesterone cream. Ugh. I should be temping!! If I don't get preggo, I will start temping next cycle for sure, even though I don't get enough sleep.

ETA- I'm not sure how to post the picture directly in the post, so sorry about the link.

Also, the CD18 OPK on the top is my positive, and the CD24/25 on the bottom is my positive. I'm thinking it's possible that I get my surge in the middle of the night or something, so I don't get the real positive. [shr]

[pollyanna123]

Amanda, congratulations!!!

SML- I got BFN's with my DD until 14dpo. I think she was a late implanter. However, with my DS, I got a nice solid line at 10dpo, so you never know!

you cant, so you did it right

[beautyonthebeach83]

Weeeeeeeeee! I LOVE this thread! Approximately 7 dpo here. I have stupidly POAS 3 days in a row now (you know, in case I o'ed earlier than I think. lol!). Got an exciting evap yesterday, nada today. But I figured as much. My sense of smell is pretty wild right now, and I'm fatigued, gassy, backed up, peeing yellow all day long (and I drink a gallon of water a day mind you), having crazy dreams, achy back, huuuuuuungry, on again off again sore boobies, etc. If I am not preggo I am going to be mad at Mother Nature for playing such cruel tricks on me! I'm trying to wait til 9 dpo (Thurs) to test again with FMU..but we'll seeee. DH, DS and I are staying at my parents' while our bathrooms at home are being remodeled, so this should be easier than usual. (Didn't stop me form peein gin a cup this morning though. :roll)

[lawmama1984]

Where has this thread been all my life?!? I am such a POAS addict! And, like many of you, I POAS knowing it will be negative (why, yes, I did POAS at 2DPO, but in my defense, I was very new to temping and thought for sure I O'd earlier than FF said I did)! haha I have just discovered the joys of canyouseealine.com and posted my dollar store test at 10DPO today. I knew it was negative, but I was still excited about the 36% who said "unsure." Pathetic. Here it is:

http://canyouseealine.com/view_home_...fm?testID=5675

I plan to keep posting my tests on there b/c the ladies on there can spot the faintest of the faint lines, and I am no good at that!

I have 3 more dollar tree tests and one EPT digi left, so I plan to test through Saturday (and then go back to the dollar store and buy tons more) if no AF by then. This is my longest cycle by far since stopping BC (and by "by far," I mean 4 days). Here is my chart:

http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2ae0eb

I am very...dischargy (for lack of a better word) the past two days, so much so that I expect to see AF in my underwear or on the TP when I wipe, but nothing so far. Here's hoping that is a good sign. I wasn't this aware (obsessive?) with DS, so paying attention to all my body's clues is new and fun!

Here's to obsessing and testing this month!
