When should I test? I'm only 13 dpo but the last few cycles my lp has been like 11 days so I expected af yesterday.

MamatoD, yay!!! I could see the line even on my iPhone!! Make sure you post your darkening lines too... BFPs are like pornography to me, haha!!

Ava's Mama, you have the patience of a saint! You must be so excited... Can't wait too see your blaring BFP!

AFM, I'm 5dpo-ish (no chart, going by OPK and CM) and today at work I was very crampy, especially on the right side... it radiated all down my leg too. With my past 2 dc I had implantation spotting, nothing yet this month!! Also, being a midwife and TTC is torture!

Wendlynnn Since the 18DPO recommendation is based on a 15 day LP, I would say you should test at 14DPO.....so tomorrow......DOOOO ITTT!!!

Thanks everyone.. I'm feeling like I may actually be totally be pregnant. I told my husband and showed him the test and he seemed slightly skeptical.. he kept saying *if* we are having another baby and then fill in the blank. Well I'm glad I'm not going completely crazy, I'm really looking forward to seeing some nice dark lines in the next few days, then I'll feel more confident. If I get a nice line in the morning I'll post again for all of those who are wanting some BFPP (bfp pornography a la blissful_maia.. haha that cracked me up, because I get excited about others BFP pics as well.

Ava's Mom If your temp is still up tomorrow, I would totally test then. I think you've been more than patient.

Yay for the temp jump Wendlynnn! I say test tomorrow as well, but then again I started testing at 7dpo, so I have no self control. Good luck!

Yippee Mamato D! That is great! Temp is still up today, but I didn't test. We are working on night weaning and when I got up to pee at 4:15 with my DD I was so tired the idea of trying to get the stuff out overwhelmed me. Then I had yoga at 6:30...wow that kicked my but! Anyways, I have been super weak today and had to rest twice at hot yoga this morning, normally I sweat a lot but don't feel like I am going to pass out. I think I will test tomorrow if AF doesn't show up today. I am amazed at my patience as well! Today is 16 DPO! But I am still nervous because last month I got AF on cycle day 34 (today is 31).

I think my first PPAF may have started this morning! YAY! I may be jumping the gun and getting too excited too early, but if I'm Oing then at least I can ttc. I had a small amount of blood in my panties this morning (tmi?) so I hope this is not just a teaser.

I'm enjoying reading others' posts/journeys. GL Ava's Mama & MamatoD!

I'm officially calling it a BFP! No squinting or special lighting needed to see the line on this mornings test. Here is my BFP progression as promised.Starting at 8dpo going to 10dpo!

Wow, I'm feeling happy and I'm really looking forward to seeing some more nursing moms join in the December DDC! Thanks for the encouragement everyone, I really appreciate it!

Congrats to those with first PPAF, I saw some were posting in the March thread as well.

Ava's Mom please test ASAP. Last weekend when I was doing some gardening and kept feeling dizzy when I would stand up so I'm sure your Yoga exhaustion is related.

MamatoD let me know when you want me to move you to the graduates list and I will be waiting for that BFPP

Ooh, tired and fainty...could be a sign of PG Ava's Mama!! Fainty is as pretty sucky sign, but it's a sign!! I'll be stalking for your test results!

texasfarmom I think on a TTC board there is not much us women consider TMI, lol. That is so exciting that you are getting your first PPAF!!

AFM All the symptoms I've been experiencing lately (increased sense of smell, nausea, cramps, fatigue) are all gone today, most disappeared yesterday. I've only got some slight pulling sensations that get worse when I cough. I didn't temp today or yesterday, so I don't know what's going on there. I did get A LOT of much needed sleep last night, which is probably why I'm not tired. I fell asleep right after putting Kaleb down at 8pm and woke up at 6:30. I'm not super optimistic, but I will still test tomorrow morning if AF doesn't show before then.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

Official congrats MamatoD! That is such fantastic news! My son is a December baby and he was so fun to have around as a newborn at Christmas. :) Also lots of people around to hold the newborn over the holidays to give you a break!

Seriously, I better get knocked up soon, I'm becoming obsessed with finding baby names! For a baby I have yet to conceive! Holy man, I have issues....
 
#64 ·
Congrats, MamatoD!!! Good eye on spotting the very early BFP!!! I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy :)

And yay for first ppafs and testing, testing, testing!

Loving how active this thread is!

Afm: I realized my pre-natal has 37mg of B6 in each tablet...I've only been taking one a day but will start taking the suggested 2 a day. I find it hard to get enough food in me on two different occasions in one day to take them both lol But, I'll work on it.

DD hasn't been nursing very much during the day the last few days...only twice yesterday and once so far today. Very unlike her. Of course, we had a marathon session last night!

congrats ava's mom!

AFM - I had clarity yesterday that I was pg, with my temps up and just a feeling. tested this am and BFP! (it's a squinter!)
 
#70 ·
Ava's Mama, yayyyyyyy! All your patience paid off! So happy for you! Wendlynnn, congrats to you too! Wishing you both a happy and healthy 9 months!! You guys should post pics of your lovely BFPs!

AFM, I'm approximately 7dpo, not much going on. Not super confident about timing, and feeling negative! Tomorrow and the next day I might use an OPK and see what I get... They have been stark white since I ovulated.

Have a good day everyone!

My temp actually went up today, so I'm wondering how long I should wait until I consider changing my O date? After my initial rise, I had another dip and an even higher rise, which I've been told could either be a fall-back rise, or my actual O. Also, anyone think CD 125 is at all a possibility? Since if I O'd on CD124, there would be no chance of PG because we hadn't BD'd in a while. Oh, and another also, anyone else see the little mark just at the bottom of where that second line should be? Or am I just going crazy?

I gotta tell you, these line tests kind of make me nervous, because I have never gotten a BFP on one...I bought and used digital 3pk with DS lol

Congrats to all you Mamas with the BFP's!

I myself don't know what to think. I got impatient and POAS this morning and it came up with a BFN, but I have been feeling pretty sure that I was pregnant. I've been nauseous, tired and moody and I think an increased sense of smell. Of course that could just be AF on the way minus the nausea... Also I am on 11 dpo and I usually have some AF on 11 or 12 but no sign of bleeding or temp drop so I am not sure what to think. I had a BFP on day 10 with dd. Anyone have a negative on day 11 and still come up pregnant? I bought some more tests so I can try again tomorrow.
