[MrsMike]

Here we are. Should I keep the February BFP list or no?

[karmab]

fm, no problem, girl! and thanks, mrs. mike! i think 86 the feb list, and add a may one.

[hollytheteacher]

I'm back home from our weekend trip.

Still no AF...I put this morning's temp in. I wonder what tomorrow will bring??

[Stevi]

SleepingBeauty... Thanks for the link.

MrsMike... Thank you for taking the thread. I got lost somehow... Can you put me in Waiting To Know?

AAM... Boring lunch date. Visted the old boyfriends kids. Now I'm depressed and tired. And, for some reason my right arm is kinda numb. It's fine when I just rest it on my leg, but when I use it, like for typing, it feels heavey and sluggish. That's all I need, something else to stress about.

[hollytheteacher]

Holy cow Mommytoall your chart looks awesome! Did you test today???

[annablue]

I pretty much have no idea what's going on with me. AF was due Friday but is still absent; however, I don't know if that means pregnancy since my body is probably still regulating itself (I stopped birth control four weeks ago.) Prior to bc I had a 26 day cycle, and I'm on CD 28 right now. But, like I said, don't know if that means anything.

[finnegansmom]

Thanks for the starting the new thread, MrsMike.

Annablue, when are you testing? When did you O this month?

I'm 11DPO but got a BFN this morning and a few hours ago I checked CM and there was a tiny dot of brown blood. I'll probably start spotting tomorrow or get AF full on. Booo. I am on the fence about calling my midwife and requesting bloodwork. This is only my 3rd cycle since the MC but I'm heading to the year mark shortly and being 38, I really can't be wasting a ton of time. I feel like I want to be proactive and take some control over the situation but then again, i don't want to actually confront that fact that maybe something is wrong. I guess 10 months isn't THAT long but it feels like an enternity....

Holly, your chart is crazy....so your 15 DPO? Wow...are you testing tomorrow? How are you feeling?

[hollytheteacher]

yes DEF testing tomorrow although the tests are all driving me crazy. I keep thinking MAYBE each time but assuming the next test the next day will be darker/more obvious etc. But nope and dh can't see what i'm seeing so i'm sure it's all in my crazy-obsessive-POASitits head that's seeing it.

I don't know how i'm feeling hahaha I keep feeling certain symptoms one minute and none the next. I am increasing in the "dizziness" symptom which was my main first symptom with ds..but all these negative tests are bumming me out.

My cervix is way high and according to my google results when AF is coming your cevix should be low so i don't know!

[mksmith]

Hello All...
New here! Its been 3 weeks (almost 4 weeks) since my D&C. DH and I are not following the rules and haveing unprotected BD sessions....I am also drinking lots of RRL and Nettle Tea!

[sleepingbeauty]

Stevi--No problem. If you like Domino's you can get FREE cinnasticks using a coupon on there!

[Tara2]

MaerynPearl- thanks for the hope, re testing 11dpo-13dpo. But if I do recall, did you not get faint + on ICs before then? So if my ICs are showing nothing at this point, maybe I'm out, right? Unless wondfo ICs are just not good. Say I hopefully.

mine were not wondfo

and my faint ic lines were something that even I was questioning whether or not there was something there.

Mae--I see lines. I said it then too. Don't worry, you're not crazy this time. lol

[MaerynPearl]

boredom + im a geek + needing to get rid of my four remaining pregnancy tests and having the perfect pee to play with them with = YAY PICTURES

First, I peed in a cup and tested so the all pee one is my nearly 21 weeks urine
25% obviously I diluted it until it was 25% pee 75% water
barely pee I only left a few drops of that 25% pee in the cup and refilled it again
Water I ran under the faucet, rather than having the possibility of contaminating it with the hcg

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...py/control.jpg control pic, same order as labeled in next pic

http://s235.photobucket.com/albums/e...ampy/tests.jpg (I love seeing how the water leaves the white line!)

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...y/cflwater.jpg water on a cfl at about 3-5 minutes (not for 2 minutes I just lost track of when I put the water one up there for the pic)

Um wow. Okay the 10 minute recheck has me SHOCKED.

Ladies do NOT use a CFL to check your tests if they are still wet!!!!!!!

With as nerdy as I am and as much as I love TTC and everything to do with it I did not expect this result...

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...0minswater.jpg Water test at 10 minutes

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...mpy/10mins.jpg all tests in same order as before

but at 10 minutes the test that is water only, never touched pee or the pee tests until at the 10 minute comparison pic... has a PINK line.

I have done water on the test several times in the past and using non-pregnant urine as well, these tests never gave me visibly pink evap lines, but alas there it is... a visibly pink line.

[jenniferadurham]

14DPO, no AF yet. I haven't tested today...we had a family outing and were out all day....I am poopered. If AF doesnt show tomorrow, I will go get tests and take one after lunch. I've gotten the last 2 POS(from previous pg's) around 3PM, when I had gotten NEG that morning. So we shall see. I have been so nauseas for the last few days. I tried to eat today and could only manage 1/2 baked potato, 1/2 chicken breast and swiss cheese sandwhich, and a *full* bag of those frozen bags that have pasta, some veggies and yummy sauce that you cook on the stove(my mind has gone buh bye for the time being, I've forgotten the name of it.)

holly- should you ask for a blood test? that would give you the answer and stop all this uncertainty.

fm- i would talk with my hcp. is your midwife part of an ob practice?

hmm maybe if i don't get af tomorrow I will...do i ask my primary dr for that? Or do I need to be part of an obgyn group? I am thinking about using a different group this time around and/or having a midwife homebirth....so i wonder who i call for a blood test?

[WTHamI?]

Holly - The quickest (and possibly cheapest depending on your ins.) way to get a blood test is direct from the lab. Most labs that do walk-in blood draws or drug testing will do a blood pregnancy test for $30-40, it does not need to be ordered by anyone but you, and the bonus is that they give YOU the results (some next day, some take 2-3) rather than you having to wait for your hcp to get around to calling you back. The one I went to actually sent me an e-mail with a login so I could review my results online the next day (it gives a guide at the top on how to read them and what the levels mean). Sure beats waiting who knows how long for an appointment then waiting who knows how long until they bother to call you...took three weeks to get blood test results from my doctor when I had a miscarriage. They use the same lab I later went to on my own (that does next day results) so I knew she was just sitting on them all that time. Anyway, that's my two cents.

So I got home tonight at 1am (after 5 days away bouncing around the country). Decided I couldn't wait til morning so I made the wife POAS. I don't know, do you see a line here?
