The 14 day agonizing & nerve racking mindfuck for 4/13-4/19

[lickwed]

I usually test around 11 or 12 DPO depending on my temps. I have always been able to get squinters by 11 DPO. This cycle though temp spike and still a BFN this morning so I am not testing again until Monday if no AF and my temps are still up. I use wondfos too and then confirm with a FRER.

As for blue dyes, they work, but they are notorious for false positives because of evaporation lines.

lickwed, sorry about the BFN, your temps are still pretty high so your not out just yet. FX

wirt2cute Thanks, that's what I'm hoping too. Last night was crazy though, so I just can't trust that temp. I'll have to wait until tomorrow. I haven't given up hope either. I limited myself to only one small beer today at the brewery we visited on the off chance tomorrow's temp is still up.

bunny I love the aqua color of blue. That and the electric blue are my favorite. Also, I would recommend starting to temp next cycle if you don't already. That way you know when you ovulate and when you can test.

As for the acronyms, DPO is Days Past Ovulation, FF is Fertility Friend (an app that keeps track of your temperatures and can tell you when/if you O), and I am not sure what other acronyms are in the thread, but we can help you out if you ask. I'll try and find a link to one.

Here is a link to the list from the CAL blog

Hugs to those with BFNs. I didn't think I was in any kind of TWW, but I'm vacationing with MH's family, drinking copious amounts of beer and wine and noticed large amounts of discharge and my face is breaking out. I havent been able to get accurate temps due to crazy sleep lately. But as backwards as it sounds, after 38 days, I'm hoping AF is around the corner so I can be one cycle closer to TTC.

zombiesquad FX AF is on her way and you guys can start TTC shortly.

Good morning girls!

Glad you're feeling better today URMySunshine77

I woke up with a killerheadache and really would love to take some ibuprofen for that but as I don't takey anything during my 2ww I'm sorta stuck. Tempted to give in and test 2 days early.. but I never done that so why start now LOL!! Like I wrote yesterday on the one hand I think "just test" and that a BFN will take away the niggles, but on the other hand I think I know myself better then that.. though not sure of course since I never tested early ;-) so I may well go all like "well, but I did test two days early so what if....."

The cheapest tests from stores around here are $2.50 a test (though the ones from the local store I picked up yesterday are 5$ each). I have checked for those wondfos on amazon.de but they are crazy expensive compared to the prices on amazon.com (but additional S&H would make them pricy again to order from here hehe). Found a Dutch online store that sold similar dipstick tests and am thinking that maybe in a couple of cycles I'll buy their opks and hpts. Don't want to just yet cause the whole thought of another pregnancy is already scary so soon after the mc that I don't want to overdo it for myself (if that makes sense).

Sorry, rambling again! *goes and makes tea for everyone*

That's one of the reasons why I am hesistant to test early as well.. I been wondering whether to just return to the store and tell them I bought the wrong ones but I didn't keep the receipt and just don't want the hassle.

bunny, yeah those acronyms make for interesting reading sometimes don't they? I finally had gotten the most used ones from one place in my head and then moved here and suddenly there were new/different ones to learn:) I have done the switching back'n'forth between the overview and a post as well *giggles*

zombiesquad, I hope AF will show soon, and open up a fresh new cycle for you!

((hugs)) for all with bfns!

[lickwed]

rnmommy Sorry. At least it is still too early. FX you get the answer you want in the next few days.

[URMySunshine77]

rnmommy, I agree that it's still early. FX for you!
