And Wondfos, am on bottom, pm on top.

[katiecornflakes]

Wheee!!! I see it if I tilt my phone just right sparkle!! I had such good feelings for you this cycle. So exciting! Can't wait to see more tests! I so hope we are November DD buddies!

jjh - don't worry! I'm still here! Hopefully not for too long but you never know.

Yay for baby dust in the air!

[katiecornflakes]

We posted at the same time. Totally see it on the ICs too!!!

[SparkleMaman]

You have great eyes Katie!! It is really hard to see in photos but totally there on all three, faintly and pink, IRL. And I have searched and searched on every stick I've peed on for the past 10 months and NEVER seen a thing before. My OB convinced me of the same, Katie; that I'd just get a low number and I'd completely freak out. She also convinced me that the HPT is accurate and correct. Still feeling cautious but the FRER makes me feel safer and like this is real. I cannot believe I am finally pregnant!!!

And I am counting on us being Due Date Buddies

Dahlia you are so awesome!! Thank you for reminding me of your numbers. I will keep that in mind while I worry and fret on Monday waiting for results and then mulling them over in my head when I hear them.

Thank you all so, so much for the congratulations, I feel amazingly blessed and I am so grateful for all of you!!! I truly am not planning to leave you, I'd like to stay here and hang out if that's okay. I feel so connected to this space and so many of you mamas here.

Many more pics to come!! Can't wait to see more BFPs!!

I am still here JJH...CD 2... On to the March TWW!

[PrimalJoy]

Livnkadesmom -- I did the same thing to my DH last month, and definitely reduced our baby making potential. This month I have been trying to gently prepare him for the fact that we would have to take care of business for several days in a row if we were going to try to make a baby. Men are so funny sometimes!

Sparkle -- Good luck to you!!

AFM, CD5, AF pretty much gone. With my short cycles, I expect to ovulate in 5 or 6 days, so we'll start actively BD'ing on Sunday.

I keep forgetting who all is here! Hopefully you won't be here for long and maybe my vitex and weight loss goals will help me ASAP!

I hope you're not here for much longer either- vitex seems to be working! I'm seeing darker and darker lines on my O tests! Question Katie- did vitex shorten the length of AF for you? It seems like mine is only 3 days now when it used to be 4... And the bleeding is very light.

[MamaMash]

Sparkle on see them! Especially on the wondfos probably because those lines are thicker than on a frer. I am so excited for you!!

[mamaBlue]

Jjh - I'll be doing the 2ww in a couple days. Got my smiley opk today.

[katiecornflakes]

jjh - I actually did find that with vitex! Basically exactly the same thing. Hopefully it gets both of us our bfps soon!!

[AngelKissedKids]

Sparkle, I can totally see the lines on both the FRER and the Wondfos!!!  Congratulations!  You have been such an amazingly supportive member of the TWW thread for so long now, we'd love to have you hang out with us for as long as you want and yet I'm also thrilled that you're about to graduate from the thread.

jjh, I'm still here too :-)  AF is due to arrive tomorrow or Sunday but no sign of her yet.  I'm oddly hopeful, probably because of the spotting (IB?!?) I had on ~7DPO, and yet I'm also feeling blah because I'm not looking forward to experiencing the emotional roller coaster that I went through last month.  It's hard to be excited when I know there will be so much worrying, even if I do get a BFP.  Welcome to all the newbies and good luck to everyone else still here!

[amycvincent]

Wow, big congrats sparkle!!!

[chuord]

Woohoo sparkle!!!!! 🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈
I had a very good feeling after looking at your chart... I can totally see the lines on the wondfos - and I'm on my phone lol! Woohoo so excited for you 😃

Jjh - lol I'm here too 😃 hopefully not for too much longer lol...
We are so lucky here to make such good supportive friends, who would have thought you'd get that connection with typed words lol!
Welcome to all the newbies (I may have missed some)... And yay for the 'regulars' and the graduates who care too much to leave!
Afm - we are recovered and now I just have to get the train back on track 😃😜

[marquess78]

Im pretty sure that Im not pregnant. It makes me sad (and then angry when i think about how much i spent on stupid FRER tests...i will never see that money back and I have nothing to show for it).

I had my ultrasound this morning. My right ovary looks fine, no cysts. My left ovary had a cyst that was about 17mm. no way to know if its "just" a cyst or a corpus luteum cyst related to a possible pg. I also had a small amt of fluid in the lower uterine segment right by my cervix, which explains the enormous amt of  CM i have been having. My lining was 7.8mm, which is good I guess. tech said he couldnt tell if i ovulated based on what he saw. he was nice and let me ask questions and showed me all the images. it was a crappy machine though, nothing like ive been scanned with before.

No bloodwork, doc wants to wait it out and see if i get AF. I just want to confirm I ovulated. Guess if i want to know that I will need a new referral for local RE to follow my cycles :/

i took one of the strips i bought online before i left, and for fun, when i came home from my appt (it was only an hour), there it was, smirking up at me just as positive as it could be. i had forgotten to throw it out before i left. so i tossed it.

i guess i need to discuss with DH where to go from here. Im pretty sure I dont want to do IVF again(DH has already said he wont go for that again, that next baby(s) would have to be naturally conceived). it was devestating for me to find out that after all that work, my RE didnt harvest the eggs on my left ovary. So not only did I lose half my eggs(there were 6), I got OHSS too. i got my beautiful twins out of it, but the rest of my embryos did not make it. so we are at squre one again.

im not a dr, but Im pretty sure that with fluid in the uterus, pregnancy is not possible :( im having difficulties coming to terms with that because i want very much to be pregnant(we all do, thats why we are here:). my due date would have been our anniversary(11/5).  i am not ever buying FRER again. this time i mean it. what a waste of money and energy only to have them toy with my emotions and lie to me. i got better results from a blue dye.

please excuse my pity party, i just needed to vent

congrats sparkle, i see your bfp too :)

[writeonyogamama]

Congratulations, Sparkle! So exciting! AF found me today as expected after my BFN. Feeling optimistic about the start of a new cycle though. We're cutting down on BFing with my 2 year old and I'm starting vitex and B6. Here we go again!

[writeonyogamama]

Marquess78 I'm so sorry. The possibility of fertility challenges scares the heck out of me. And it's challenging enough to get my DH to cooperate with conceiving naturally--putting our sex life on somewhat of a schedule. If money were involved I can't imagine how much more stressful it would be.

[dahlia810]

Sparkle!!! I see them all!!!!!!! This is FANTASTIC! big, huge congrats to you mama!!!! You have noo idea how happy I really truly am for you! <3

JJ, don't worry, even those who get pregnant can't seem to detach from this group :) I'm still lurking faithfully haha, and rooting for you big time!!! My fingers and toes are crossed for you :) Sending baby dust your way!

[dahlia810]

Marquess, I'm so sorry you're going through such a tough time right now :( I really feel for you, and am sending you tons of positive energy and prayers for this all to work out, and that you'll get your little one. Hugs, lady.

Yay for pos OPK! I know I still have lots of you here I feel like we have seen SOO many BFPs though! So exciting for the other ladies

Ok that definitely makes me feel better. I know it is supposed to help with horrible PMS and AF symptoms but I wasn't expecting it to be like this! I am on cycle 3 of it so it should be working full force now! Last time you took it- how/when did you stop taking it when you got your BFP? Did you wean or just completely stop? That's my biggest concern with vitex- and it's such a fuzzy topic!

I have such a good feeling for you here soon. I know last month was horrible for you, but dahlia had such great results after a loss I'm crossing my fingers for you!

I agree I feel like this is the only place where anyone understands me. People don't say hurtful things like "it'll happen when it happens" or "you're worrying too much" because we're all feeling the same way. And significant others just don't understand the way you all do lol!

congrats sparkle, i see your bfp too

You're so far from being out, dear! Keep on waiting, no stressing!! We're all rooting so hard for you! But I agree- I will not waste my money on FRERs either. I got a false positive/possible early loss with them a couple of months ago and I just would have rather not known than experience that pain again.

Yeah another vitex buddy!! You'll definitely have to keep me posted on how it is working for you. I'm in my 3rd cycle with it so I am feeling really positive about it possibly working this time around! What is the B6 for? Excuse me for sounding ignorant- I've just never known/asked. I take stress b complex for my mood issues and energy issues but maybe I should just take B6? Let me know!

I can't wait until you get further into your pregnancy and you get to tell us all of the fun stuff!! I'm totally living vicariously through you!

Sorry about my depressing infertility post earlier- I have had a workout and the endorphins have got me positive again! I'm back to work tomorrow after my week long break and SOO not looking forward to it. Buuuut my week long BD marathon will start and even though it is tiring I'm excited for this month!
