I used a Baby Test from Dollar General. The box says it picks up 25 mq of hcg, so it would be a pretty sensitive test.

Hey Brooke . . .. where the heck are you? How did the FMU hpt turn out? I've been thinking positive thoughts all day for you

[waldorfknitmama]

8dpo and freaking out!!! Wanting to POAS! BUT I'm gonna hold out!!! Brooke whats the verdict??? My guess is your preggo!!

[waldorfknitmama]

what's the earliest people have had pg signs?? I'm 8dpo and I don't really feel much!! I'm not sure if that is a sign!!! I guess I have been feeling dizzy, really hungry and tired. But I think I aways feel like that at some point! hhmmm we will see. . .

[LotusBirthMama]

Can you put me in the Waiting to Catch First PP Egg catergory?

Thanks!

I don't think I will believe it until I see the word staring back at me from a digital

So, what's was this mornings result?!

You should definitely still be holding out hope!

Me - On CD20, still waiting to O. Thinking it might happen soon since I'm feeling that O twinge.

Anybody else testing soon?

[waldorfknitmama]

aaahhh this is really killing me!!! still 8dpo and really really wanting to test! Still waiting on Brooke. . . + or what???!!!!!!!

[Bella Catalina]

Sooooo Sorry I forgot to come update you all. Rest assured, if it was a I would be screaming it from the rooftop

10dpo, but that is okay. My chart link is in my siggy... I am not holding out too much hope to be honest, but it is early. I definitely think the new FRER get way more evaps - I'd never seen one when I used a zillion of the older style ones a few years back.

The positive thing about this cycle is that in previous cycles, by today (if AF hadn't already shown) my temp would have dropped and I'd start spotting... hopefully this means that the NPC and vitex and B6 is doing something!!!

I think I am going to test again tomorrow with a cheapie and save my last FRER for Thursday if still no AF :

And CatholicBFMama, there is still hope at 13dpo. I was just looking at charts on FF and there are plenty of women who get late BFPs... and late isn't until 16dpo.

Thanks. Yeah, I spent several non-productive cleaning hours scouring FF's Chart Gallery searching for charts with "greater than 15 DPO BFPs" and "BFN before BFP". Made me feel a little better.

Hi, I'm still here, although no TTC this month as DH was gone. I have questions about O. Just curious what is really *late ovulation*? I don't O until CD 18-21- this mo is my first PP cycle and I'm still nursing of course (DS is 13 mo) and I O'd CD 20. Is it just me being impatient, or is that late for an egg? W/DS 1 I O'd CD 21, w/DS 2 I O'd CD 18, so I consistently O late nursing or not. My LP is also only 11 days (not due to nursing, it's always only 11 days)... I haven't had issue in the past getting preggers (knock on wood), but it still concerns me- would you talk to a MW or am I a dork?

Good luck naturalmama! I shall live vicariously through your BFP you see in 4 days

Oh Brooke!!!! :

I am overwhelmed with joy for you . How wonderful!!! Bask in the glow, mama!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

kochanyk, your "late" O is completely normal. The only thing it means is that you have a few less fertile times than someone with shorter cycles. Sucks for TTC but can be a blessing in other ways....like not as many periods. I had long cycles before and I typically O'd around CD 20 or 21 with an LP of about 13 or 14 days. With that length of cycle there were actually a few months that I didn't O at all due to timing. I remember when I was TTC the first time and I complained to an OB and she said that actually longer cycles were "healthier" in the long run for a woman's body. With longer cycles your body does not have as many fluctuations with estrogen...and estrogen is thought to be a culprit in various female diseases later in life.

Oddly though since having my IUD taken out my 2 cycles were 24 days. Never thought I'd have such short cycles. I don't mind though since I'm TTC.

9dpo here I'm an emotional wreck!!! Dakota didn't sleep last night (well actually the longest he's ever slept has been like 5-6hours at a time!) Last night was really bad, after we night weaned him, he likes to lay right on me to fall asleep! And now he's really not liking me moving him to his toddler bed, or even just next to me in our bed so I just layed there pretty much all night as I couldn't get comfortble. So as morning came I nicely allowed DH to sleep in until 8, then when he got up, I would take a cat nap. Well. . . Nathan and Dakota decided to unload the dishwasher VERY LOUDLY and well I woke up! Soooo I'm really tired and really crabby! Totally snapped at Nathan! Needless to say I'm very emotional and have been the past couple of days.

Here are some of my other fake syptoms:

~Really tired-could be becasue I don't sleep at night!!!
~Really thirsty!!- could be because its really dry inside with the heat turned up an all
~Have to pee all the time!-could be becuase I'm drinking a lot!
~Slightly sick maybe a little nauseus-? on that one
~Really light headed-Maybe I'm not eating enough
~Hungrey-same as above!

What's everyone elses fake syptoms??

And CONGRATS TO BROOK! YOU ARE REALLY LUCKY!!!!!!!! HAVE A HH 9 MO!! AND CHECK IN WITH SOME OF YOUR SYPTOMS SO WE CAN PRETEND WE HAVE THEM TOO!!!!

[Bella Catalina]

Woohoo I get to say I got a : Kleine, please add me to Success Stories. I am jumping in with both feet and I am determined to enjoy it no matter what the outcome; this has been too long in coming to be fearful, if that makes any sense.

Thanks for the congrats, mamas. I am hoping for all of you to get Christmas BFPs!!!

Cheryl, : : for a and a very very HH9M!! What is your EDD? Mine is 08-16-08 :
