Sooo my MIL Thinks I'm pregnant. We went to a party and everyone started joking about when we were going to have kids and why I wasn't drinking. mIL leaned over and asked if I was suurreee I wasn't pregnant because she and her sister kind of thought that because I went to the doctor last week. I don't think she believes me.
People who say they "have a feeling" about you being pregnant are the fucking worst. Someone did that to me last cycle, and I'm still pretty pissed at her. I had been doing so well at staying off the crazy train until she did that and got my hopes up. It really doesn't help that it turns out that she was pregnant when she said that.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Yesterday I mentioned I was a bit skeptical about the dotted CHs FF gave me and how if I removed the positive OPKs it gave me solid CH for a different O date. Well today with my temp (and leaving the OPKs in) it switched my O date to the later one. It makes me feel better that these ones are solid. Since it's only my second month charting I really don't have much info or past history to go off of. MH still keeps saying he has a 'good' feeling about this month. I don't want him to get my hopes up!
GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? Approx. 45 minutes if I don't need to wash my hair.
Congratulations hydrangea1019!!!!! Sorry for the BFNs & CD1s ladies ...
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: BFN this AM with FMU. I'm very sad. I know 2 cycles is not long at all, and this is only my first cycle temping, but my chart is so pretty! Boo. I had an "implantation dip" at 7 DPO so if I was KTFU I think I would have a positive by now. No more testing until Wednesday if no AF by then.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: See above
GTKY: Varies. I work from home so it depends if I am going out into the real world or working from my home office.
Timing: awful. Thank you moving CH and extra-long cycle!
Testing Plans: Not
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Spotting today means AF will be here later today or tomorrow... Also means I'm drinking a whole bottle of wine tonight ;o) ... I very informative first cycle ttc and learning my body.
GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? Eh 45 mins, an hour if u do sonething other than a ponytail.
Eta: congrats hydrangea1019 and hang in there the rest of you!!

Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 32/12
Timing: good, 0 (ff moved CH)
Testing Plans: Not again until next weekend if still no AF
Rants/Raves: BFN this morning. My cycles are always 27 days on the dot so thought I should test today. I'm never late so it really confused/upset me to see BFN. Still convinced I am pregnant though, my areoles look HUGE! TMI sorry, but they have never looked this way before lol. I've also never had nausea before which is starting to drive me crazy........ Going to wait until next weekend if still no AF....Crazy train sucks! Congrats to all the BFP a so far
GTKY: 20 mins to actually get ready, but turns into 2 hours due to coffe and couch
Well, I'm headed back to WTDS. It was a short visit to the TWW, but thanks for having me. FF is being a bitch, and decided to tell me this morning that I did not in fact O like they had told me on Wednesday, due to my temps not cooperating or something. It's not too early to break out the alcohol right??

Yeah, we've been trying for two months but she doesn't know. But apparently a month ago I said smells were really bothering me so I guess they've been talking about it a lot. I went for a pre conception appointment/yearly so they obviously think I'm like 2 months along, when we aren't even pregnant. I asked her what the day was, it might be to early to tell if I was pregnant yet, and her eyes got really big.
But so glad they have been discussing this. At least it explains why she has stopped telling us we don't need kids yet.

Were you charting before TTC? Do you know how long your literal phase is generally? You may not actually be "late" this cycle but just ovulated later and have a longer luteal phase. You're regular until you're not right? Not saying you're out, just trying to give you some realism so you don't get you're hopes up too much if it's not.
Also - congrats hydrangea1019!!! I had a good feeling
anonymouseliza While I totally agree with you here, aren't you also 10DPO? You said you might use your last test tonight so you'll know either way.... Wait a few days and use FMU.
Fair point. The difference here (perhaps it is only in my head, but as that is where I exist, I'm ok with the distinction) is that I'm specifically looking for an answer as to whether the test this morning was an evap line or not. And I can find that out tonight. I could find reliably tomorrow morning too. I could also wait to see if I start spotting tomorrow, as usual, but I'll probably test because it's going to expire in a few days.
But testing at night at only 10DPO will likely give you a BFN regardless.... I think you should at least wait until tomorrow morning.

Ya Listen to Helloerr. I would also invest in a pink dye test like FRER which tend to not have evap lines. In your first post you said you had a line, with out any colour. If it was within the time frame of 5 mins then it was a line. If it was outside of this time then it was an evap line. No amount of testing tonight will change this.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that is absolutely true. Testing at 10 dpo is long time tradition/superstition; my successful pregnancies all had very clear positive by 10 dpo pm. I haven't decided whether or not to test again at all, though expiring test means may as well. I'm aware of statistics, odds, etc. I understand that my initial post is equally applicable to my situation as well. My specific statement was geared towards the idea that today's test was either an evap or an early positive. Another test tonight could answer that question in the right circumstances, but would not necessarily answer the question of pregnancy in this cycle. I could get a bfn tonight but a positive in two days if implantation occured yesterday or today. To that end, you are completely correct.

I appreciate your post. I am not new to this, I promise. This would be my ninth pregnancy. It took 4 years of trying and seven pregnancies to conceive daughter. I'm a queen of hpt's and early testing. If there is no color to the line it has to be considered an evap/negative even if you see it within the time frame. The test is still wet at 5 min and that can highlight the antibody strip and make it more visible than normal. I'm quite good at spotting those, which is the likely answer.

Congrats hydrangea1019 !!! i had a good feeling about this month for you!
Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 29/4
Timing: low... -4
ETA Testing Plans: none unless AF is really late
R/R: After my pity party about my ridiculously changing chart yesterday, I feel a lot better. I'm just ready for AF to show so we can try again next cycle. I know it's possible to get a BFP with -4 timing but I'm definitely not holding my breath.
Me: 28, all tests normal DH: 34, very low count, motility, morphology DX - MFI 11/14/09 - Married 01/01/14 - TTC #1 01/06/15 - Started working with RE 04/06/15 - Recommendation - straight to IVF w/ICSI 09/04/15 - Started working with new RE Nov/Dec 15 - IVF w/ ICSI #1 - 11R/8F - 1 transferred, 3 frozen
Hugs to all the BFN's and CD 1's Congrats hydrangea1019!!! Very excited for you, girl!
Cycle: 6/5
CD/DPO: 23/5
Timing:-5 -3 -2 O +1
Testing Plans: next weekend
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I am freaking out big time. I had another 0.2 temp drop although it is still above the CL. I called my RE and he's advising even more progesterone. FUUUUUUCCKKKKKK. I am so nervous and can't even think about seeing another BFN in a week.
GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? 15-20 min
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I started spotting/cramping this morning and my temp has gone down. Not drastically or below the coverline...but still lower . I had good feels about this cycle so I'm kinda bummed.
GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? About 40 minutes unless I'm sleepy...then much longer.
*snip* Testing Plans: IDK why I did, but I took a fucking test. Of course it was negative.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I timed this shit just right, I thought. Had sex every day until ovulation and still nothing. I'm getting wine today while I'm out grocery shopping. ETA: My recorded luteal phases have been 13 or 14 days and I used a FRER this morning and it was a solid negative. So fuck it. I'm done this cycle.
*snip*
Hon, I'm not trying to diminish your frustration at all, because BFN's suck and several cycles + perfect timing and no positive result suck even more. But you know that at 10 dpo that implantation could take place today and be within normal timeframes - and you have an excellent luteal phase to help sustain an pregnancy. Even if implantation occurred two days ago, you might not test positive yet, and certainly not if it occurred yesterday, which is the most common day for implantation to occur.
Buy some wine. Have a glass or two and put it out of your mind. It's still too early to be out. Leave it alone until your period shows or doesn't. Big hugs.
I concur with this pep talk. It ain't over til it is over, wowcheezits!
Testing plans: Beta on Feb.3, so I'm going to try to hold off until then.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: None today. Had a weird temp spike on Friday morning, now I'm heading back down to my normal post-O temps. Waiting to see what they decide to do. Really trying so hard not to get my hopes up on this cycle, since it's our first IUI cycle. I wouldn't be shocked, but I don't want to bank on a BFP either.
GTKY: I take probably 45 minutes to get ready total, but I wake up about an hour and a half before I have to leave during the week so that I can eat some breakfast, make DH some coffee, and get in a small at-home workout.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: FF has taken my CH's away. Not sure what is going on once again. I'm frustrated and just want AF to get here to start a new cycle.
GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? About 30-40 minutes depending how fast I am.
peaseblossom55 It doesn't look like you have O'd yet. If your temps stayed elevated, I would have agreed with your original CH's, but your temps seem very stable throughout this cycle with no true increase. Keep HIO!

Yea I'm still HIO and using OPK's hopefully soon I'll see a true O. Thank you!!!
Testing Plans: tomorrow morning. If bfn I will wait until 13dpo
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: yesterday one of my friends pulled the "You should dip charting, it just adds stress. Just Relax and let it happen!" I still do not understand why people think it is a stressor? I was a minion times more chilled out this cycle. I think my best friend is more stressed than I am.
GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?: 5 mins. I am wearing a hoodie and soft pants.
