April Thread Hostess: SoCaliMommy

Please put all changes in bold

[Logan]

Just curious, but what does the asterisk next to some people's names mean??

[AshleeG]

I'm new to this group, hope it's ok if I jump in. My DD is 10 months, I didn't chart with DD, but I have read about charting and am planning on starting to chart while TTC#2, and no PPAF yet, so I guess I belong in the Waiting to Catch the First PP Egg! section.

[agmi]

I dubbled posts, how to remove it?

[agmi]

Hello
I think I've ovulated. Please move me to 2WW.

[Wildecat]

Ladies, I need your help! I am on CD 29 and 9PO based on an opk only (no temp or FF). I took an Equate HPT this a.m and I need you to tell me what you think. I see a very faint line and would be shocked if I was pregnant because my cycle has been way off this month. I ovulated on CD 20 instead of 13-14 like I have been and I had a horrible yeast infection most of the month. I did take an Answer brand test yesterday and got a VERY faint line after about 5-10 minutes that I just figured was an evaporation line. The line on today's Equate test is blue and came up after like 3 minutes but it is very faint. I read online that Equate is a more sensitive test and that is why I bought that one.
Please give me your expert opinions! the pic is a camera phone pic so kinda crappy but I see a line....do you???????

That's most certainly a line!! BUT have you read all the cautions on here about blue dye tests, esp so early? Any way you can get your hands on a dollar store test or FRER etc to confirm? Keep us posted!

What does FRER stand for?

[apmama07]

Hi everyone, I'm still here waiting....12 DPO and I've gotten a couple of very faint positives but one was on a blue dye +/- test (that's what happens when you send DH to the store with no instruction, lol) so I'm not getting excited yet.

My LPs have been running around 13 days soooo....hopefully I'll know one way or another very soon. (We've been visiting my parents and are going home today so I'll be able to do a good test on FMU tomorrow if my temps still up) No signs of AF and of course I have a bunch of pg symptoms but I've imagined them plenty before.

Thanks for the new thread! Can my chart please be added? http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2d7ae0

First Response Early Result. It's a pink dye that most ladies seem to have good early results with. You can check this out, it might help:

LOTS of info there!

The line is light but not thin like most claim with their false positives. I'm so confused......

[Adallae]

Wildecat - I see a line too! I second trying a FRER.

apmama07 - Your chart looks great!

AshleeG - Welcome to the group!

[SoCaliMommy]

Updated List To Here


Logan~ just my way of keeping track of everyone that has at least posted 1 time in the month.

AshleeG~Welcome to the group.

Wildecat ~ I see a line too, but agree with the others about taking a pink dye test to make sure, since so many people have had problems with blue dye tests

[ema-adama]

Good luck in April for all the Nursing TTC ladies here.

I seem to appear in both the TWW and waiting to be ready. I was here a couple of months ago, and then decided to wait on TTC..... this cycle is not a planned TTC - I just suspect that it might have happened. I am 11DPO (I think). AF due on Sunday.

[snuggly]

Hi mamas… Can I join you? I didn’t think I’d be here for awhile, but when DH changed his mind he changed it quickly!

My dd is 17 months and for the first 15 months or so DH said he wanted her to be an only. (DD is a wonderfully intense, high energy, sleepless, child… It’s been an exciting journey for sure!) I had my annual checkup yesterday and over the weekend DH suggested that they take out my IUD then... We talked it over and decided to! Of course I haven’t been able to sit still with excitement since! I’m so happy to open up to the possibility of more in our family! That said, we were off bc for 2 years before conceiving dd (and I wasn’t even nursing then) so it could be awhile…

I have a few questions for you mamas:
What are you doing to keep yourself healthy for nursing and upcoming pregnancy (supplements, vitamins, all that jazz)?
Also, are there mamas here who are not charting? DD still co-sleeps, wakes, and nurses all night, so I don’t know if charting is for us right now… And even my periods can be months in between- very irregular.

Thanks! So happy to find such good company!

[Wildecat]

I just took a Clearblue easy digital and it came up "Pregnant"!!! Should I believe it now or are those tests iffy too? Do I need to take a FRER just to be safe? I cannot believe this is happening

I'm taking iron, because my iron levels plummeted in the 3rd trimester last year. Also taking Flaxseed Oil, and have been for years. Folic acid too. I also went back to drinking RRL tea last month.

I'm very loosely charting. Not temping because DD also nurses all night, just monitoring cervical fluid and position, when we DTD, and my saliva ferning scope. That info, along with my past charts, is enough for me to have an idea of when I'm going to O. My cycles can be irregular too - it's very frustrating.

Uh...I'd believe the "Pregnant" Congratulations!!!!!


AFM, I'm 10 DPO today. Temp dropped this morning, but of course I took a test (just in case) and BFN. No surprise there but it's a blue dye test (bought a 3 pack for really cheap) so I wanted to waste it anyway. I know, I know....blue dye is evil

Congratulations Wildcat
