Will do personals tomorrow. Feeling sick today. AF has been here since Saturday. 

 

[JelloPanda]

I can be moved to waiting to know. I'm about 6DPO now :)

[anyalily]

MamanF, thanks for the new thread. I'm sorry about AF and not feeling well. Bleh.

Fnord - OMG, I would be like doorbusters at Wallgreens to get a FRER. LOL. You are amazingly patient. Hope you get some good news!

ChiChiMama - welcome back.

JelloPanda - I would LOVE to sleep through the 2WW. Because the BD phase is fun and the POAS phase is fun in an agonizing way, but the waiting and knowing there is nothing I can do but obsess over cover lines and symptoms. Yeah, not so fun.

AFM - I am feeling so not pregnant that I have been having a little wine here and there. Literally like 2 ounces, but it feels like throwing caution to the wind and daring the universe to give me a BFP... Go on, universe, I dare you! I even had sushi last night. I laugh in your face! Seriously though, universe, are we cool?

[FeralFox]

Maman - Thanks for the new thread, and I'm sorry to hear that you're sick and that AF showed up.

Anyalily - Sushi and booze were my secret pregnancy weapon last time.  Nothing else worked until I combined it with drinking and sushi!  I had a friend out visiting when I got my BFP, and we were spending all our time out on the town in NYC, covering every pregnancy no-no.  Hmm...I had booze this weekend, and was thinking about taking Husband out for a sushi and movie date.  Maybe this will be the month for both of us!

AFM, Husband has ordered me to stop temping.  It's hard to submit sometimes when he makes a decision like this, but this time it's really clearly for the best.  It's still hard though!  We're still trying and I'm still checking other signs, but I'm going to drive myself nuts temping, and that really isn't what I wanted this time.  He said I can start temping again if it hasn't happened within a couple of cycles.

[Attached2Elijah]

Sorry you are feeling icky MamanF .

Still kind of sneaking around here.... 11dpo today and my temp did go down a bit today but it didn't plummet as usual on 11dpo. My normal LP has been 11 days for the last 5 months so this is definitely a GOOD thing. I'm not really supposed to be charting at all but after 5 years, it's kind of a hard habit to break, lol.

[brichole1214]

I had to temp about 15 to 30 minutes early this morning but my temp was back up above the coverline this morning.  I'm not really feeling pregnant this month so i'm just waiting on AF to show up on Saturday. I'm good with it though because i've looked and if i actually wait and O around CD12- CD14 next month i will be most fertile on my DD#1's birthday which is the same day that i was due with DD#2 last year so hey...maybe that will be a lucky day for us hehe!!! I'll TOTALLY be getting DH into bed early that night!!! ha!! Well, i hope everyone have a great day!!! This 10DPO is driving me crazy!!! I want to test but i'm not going to unless AF shows up.  I can't throw more money down the drain right now.  :(

[Fnord]

Caved and saved FMU, bought a FRER.
Is this anything?

[anyalily]

Fnord, I see the tiniest line, but I am not sure if I would go with it. Hmmm.

[anyalily]

BTW, Fnord, it's strange that your siggy from your Iphone has a link to your location. 

[brichole1214]

Fnord: I see something.  How long after you took the test did you take this picture....and do you have the picture without being negative?  If it is pink at all then it's a line...but if it's gray looking it is an evap line.  FRER's have gotta a LOT worse to have evaps now that they can test 6 days sooner.  I don't know what they did to their chemical formula but they use to very rarely have evaps before last year when they came out with the new tests.  I hope that it is positive though...what a great way to start out the week for this thread :)

AFM:  The dizziness is getting better but it's getting my hopes up.  This is EXACTLY what happened to me when I got pregnant with my DD#2.  I also am 10dpo and I haven't started spotting yet which is a GREAT sign too...but hey I could just be trying to read into something that is just related to this CRAZY weather change in alabama!!! I can NOT believe that it's the end of November and we are already about to get our first snow!! BLAH!! I know a lot of people enjoy the snow...but Me not so much because I have to be at work reguardless of if it's snowing/icing/ or whatever. 

[brichole1214]

Stevi:  Your cycle looks like it's going strong still.  Maybe that - you got the other day was just taken too early?  At least your cycle this month is longer than last month, i just hope it's not because of being sick........

[Fnord]

I tried to edit my original post to add the second picture and delete the awful geolocation, but I'm starting to hate this app. 

Anyway, here's another pic, taken probably 4-6 minutes after taking the test.

[Carlin]

Fnord, there's definitely something there. I have no idea whether its a BFP or an evap line though - edited 'cause I just saw your second pic. I think I see pink! Fingers crossed for you!

Brichole, A2E, fingers crossed for both of you! All your symptoms sound so promising!

Anyalily, I am so with you! I had a half pint of beer after my soccer game last night and a small cup of coffee this morning. Sushi sounds like a great idea too!

MamanF, sorry you feel crappy. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Stevi & CBaa, stalking, stalking, stalking...

AFM, finally O'd! After 3 cycles in a row of Oing on cd 17, cd 25ish seemed really, really long. I guess last cycle's loss did a bit of a number on my hormones. The good news is DH was actually home for O (and as he's in the middle of 3 weeks of only being home on the weekends that was pretty lucky!) I'm not sure I'm feeling at all hopeful about this cycle as I've never had any luck conceiving when I O late, but fingers crossed anyways. I'm tired of TTC!

In other news my step-SIL had a baby boy last week and although they live about 750 miles away, and we won't actually see him for awhile he sure looks like a cutey! Thank God for Facebook!

[brichole1214]

Fnord:  I see pink...i would wait until Wednesday and test again....but i'm really hoping that it's a BFP for you!!! :)

Carlin:  I am really hoping that I got pregnant this month too because like you i am tired of TTC!! it takes everything out of me and it's just frustrating when AF shows up!!! I hope that your late O bring a beautiful and dark BFP in 2 weeks!!!!

[anyalily]

Carlin - how frustrating to have such a long cycle. I used to be annoyed that get AF ever 24 days, but I realized that is more O opportunities in the year in I made my peace with it. Now I am grateful, because I don't have to wait so long... It is auspicious that your DH was home, maybe you caught that eggy!

Fnord - I see it. I would do what the PP suggested and redo it on Wednesday. On second thought, knowing me, I would actually do it again tomorrow and everyday til AF shows. Hee hee hee.

A2E - I am glad you are still around. I totally get ya about not being able to stop temping. And that is promising about the longer luteal phase! If we didn't conceive this month I am going to have to work on my LP because it has been short for the last 10 years. 

AFM - I am turning 30 on Friday! That is the day after AF is due. My DH is taking me to San Francisco overnight and we are going to see Cirque du Soleil. So, if AF is here, the timing will be lame for the romantic getaway. But if she doesn't show, I could possibly test on my birthday, right? I looked up my calendar from 2007 when I conceived DD (yeah, I keep all my WeMoons - hey, the moon calendar will be accurate again in 19 years!) and I tested negative on CD23 but strongly positive on CD27. My Bday will be CD25, and my cycles have been super consistent. That would be an awesome bday present! I was considering testing the day before so that if I get a BFN it doesn't ruin my bday... Hmmm... I did start temping again and my temps are still high, so that's cool, right? How many days before AF does your temp usually plummet?

[Fnord]

Thanks everyone for your opinions and well wishes! I don't know what I would do without this wonderful community to share this stuff with. I think I will wait and test Wednesday, I have a pretty busy day planned tomorrow so hopefully I can keep my mind off of it until then. My SO keeps picking up the test and rotating it around in the light from the window and saying "I see a line! It's pink! You're pregnant!" He even made me come outside in the front yard with him to stare at it in the sunshine.  There was nothing there in the first minute after I took it, but after the 5 minutes it was definitely pink (especially if I moved it around until it was at just the right angle... ), but it's faded a lot since then. But enough about my craziness.

deborah, aw, I'm sorry about that. I actually thought about it as I was typing it. should have followed my intuition on that. won't happen again. 

Maman, sorry AF came. hope you feel better soon. thanks for the new thread!

brichole, fingers crossed that we both have nice dark matching BFPs in the next couple of days. things sound promising! i wish it would cool down here, i just crocheted my first hat and I really want to be able to wear it without breaking a sweat the minute I walk outside.

carlin, hope you caught the egg! I got a BFP after Oing on CD60-something, so it's definitely possible! congrats on being a new auntie!

anyalily, Happy early Birthday! I'm jealous of your trip. If you do test BFN on your birthday, hopefully you'll have so much fun you won't even think about it. 

[Attached2Elijah]

Fnord: I definitely see it... and it's actually a pretty decent line. FRERs are definitely not known for evaps. I'm pretty certain your eggo is preggo.

[Thebyr]

Fnord - I see it! That's exactly how my Dollar Tree tests looked (and my blue die early response test). And of course I was at least 10dpo before I got a real line on my FRER - so...you look preggers to me! Congrats!

[deborahbgkelly]

I would say birthdays are good luck (if you like to think of luck/lucky things). My transfer was 2 days after my 30th.
