Looking for Test Buddies

[SueGre]

Anyone testing this week? Let's be test buddies.

I bought a 3 pack of FRER's tonight.

I'm 8 dpo and know I should wait 4 more days till 12 dpo, but I'm sure I'll break down and start sooner.

Who's with me?

SSBD!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the reply Amy. I think I might try the ov tracker too. I'm normally have a 25-27 day cycle. I ov anywhere fr. CD15-18...normally monitor (or sticks) shows peak on CD15 or 17. I'd pray that she stay away, but am not sure if it'd work. ;o) Thank you for all the positive energy & for giving up your WHOLE SSBD stash for lil' ole' me. ;o) Have a great evening. (((HuGz)))

Savanha - I hope AF stays far far away!  Fingers crossed and lots of SSBD to ya!!!!!!!!  I'll throw my whole stash at ya since I won't need it for another few weeks.  ;)

I'm CD 3 and doing great.  Just happy to finally have the start of AF.  I added the ovulation tracker out of boredom and actually discovered that my "28 day cycles" average more like 30-31...so that really makes a lot of sense for my body lately!  I think I'm ovulating pretty late too...but as long as it's consistent I don't care.

Keep us posted!

Hey Ladies...

Not sure if this thread is still alive, but I wanted to stop by to touch base with everyone.

Jen: Hope you didnt' work out too hard, but know that you enjoyed the new tube. ;o)

Amy/Sue: Sorry about the bfn & that ole' hag AF.

Me: Just waiting for AF to show...just a matter of time I know. Wow...sounds like a line in a song. (ha) At any rate...experiencing pms syms, but ready to try again soon...this time w/Femara to see what happens. I'll keep you ladies posted.

You will continue to be in my prayers sweetie!  I hope you get your results this afternoon!  Is it possible you O'd later than you thought?

I'm going to call today and schedule an appointment with a gynocologist.  I haven't been to one since I had Sarah.  I figure it can't hurt to talk to someone about what's been going on.  

I think I actually ovulated on what I THOUGHT was 7DPO.  I'm only using that date b/c that's when my bbs became sore (that used to be my "O" sign).  Let's see... that would mean I O'd on CD 21 (LATE!) but I'm only 13DPO today.  Unfortunately we didn't BD around that time so there's still no hope for pregnancy...but it makes it more plausible why AF is taking so long.  I don't know what on earth I can do to help regulate my cycles.  Obviously fertilaid didn't work...that's why I'm hoping a doctor can give me some advice.  

Anywho...hopefully a doctor's office is open and can get me an appointment SOON.  Last time I tried to see an OBGYN it was a 10 week wait.  Ugh!

[SueGre]

I just had my beta. The nurse was so sweet, she put a STAT sticker on it to hopefully get the results today at 3:30. If not today, then tomorrow morning at 9:00.

I asked her about the exercise affecting AF and she said it would only affect it if I was going about it fanatically, and I'm not.

I'm sooooo nervous.

I told Rob I have no feeling either way. My bbs are sore here and there every day, I have 2-3 headaches a day, I'm peeing 3 times more than usual, I'm extra hungry, my face is broken out, and I've had moderate cramps here and there every day. As we all know, these can be both AF or pg and I have no idea which one is going on. So, I guess we'll know soon. My BBT was 98.4something this morning, but I have nothing to compare it to.

Please keep your fingers and toes crossed and prayers are also welcome.

Hi frnds,
I have been trying to concieve since last year. Of coz havnt succeed yet.
Firstly irregular menses, then PCOS, then my hubby's low sperm count and recent try was with IUI.
Truelt speaking have stopped thinking much, coz every time the same thing. HAve developed stron pre meanstrual symptoms lastly, since a few irregular cycles, lot of nausea, giddyness, back ache, cramps, more urination, brest tendering every cycle.
Dont understand wat symptoms are these? Have started having temperature fluctuating too, as Doc said, i have residue of PCOS left in fellopian, so untill that comes out, i would be having fever, not more than 99-100 every cycle after ovulation, till i get my menses.
Any body can help me o suggest me, some better, would be really thankful..
Well, i too have to test next week, hoping again, let's see!!
Thx

[SueGre]

Sorry about your BFN. I'm rethinking now that the exercise I'd causing a delayed AF, but I'm definitely going for a beta today. Sorry, too, to hear about the glue mishap. Yikes.  

[amy0013]

Wow, I don't recommend peeing on glue sticks.  That was a MESS!  :)  LOL!  I got a bfn today too.  I'm not really surprised.

I was wondering the same thing...does ectopic show up on an HPT?  Sorry about your bfn.  What's up with us this month?  Sheesh!!  I do FINALLY feel some cramping today so maybe AF will make an appearance???  You should schedule a beta, just for peace of mind.  Happy Monday!

[SueGre]

BFN again this morning. I think I'm going to go for a beta. I am 2-4 days late and I want to be sure I don't have am ectopic or anything.

Have a happy day!

[SueGre]

Yah! Lets pee all over sticks tomorrow! Twigs, popsicle sticks, walking sticks, glue sticks, any kind of stick! Yah!

[amy0013]

Just for sh*ts and giggles, I'll test with ya tomorrow morning.  I have one more FRER so I might as well use it.  ;)  That is, unless, AF decides to come out of hiding before then.  

This was my first complete cycle on Fertilaid.  I had only been on it two weeks before my last AF.  Maybe it screwed me up?  I have also been taking 100mg of B6.  Did I do more harm than good?  Hmmmm...I'll TAKE a light/non existent AF any day of the week...if I only knew WHEN to count it as CD 1!  LOL!  

The optimist in me thinks that I never did the 'peek a boo' tampon check with I got a BFP with my daughter so maybe all this crazy 'bleeding' but not really bleeding was going on then too and I never knew it because (like now) it has yet to 'come out'.  That's my lunatic 'half glass full', 'i'm in denial about this crazy cycle', 'what if i really AM pregnant', 'let's waste more $$ on hpts', 'what have i got to lose' attitude!  :)

So here's to "happy peeing on a stick" in the am!  :)

[SueGre]

Wow thanks for the cheerleading! it was a killer cheer, too!

I will test tomorrow with FMU, and if no AF by tomorrow afternoon, I might go for a beta.

I'm going to temp tomorrow a.m. with a BBT and see if it's high or low since I have nothing to base it on at this point. I think if it's well above 98.0 then that might be a good sign.

I guess we'll see...

[amy0013]

Sue - I haven't given up on you!  It's not over yet!  

***Stay away AF, Stay away!  Rah rah!  Stay away AF, Stay away!  Rah rah!***

Jen - That would su ck to always have busy weekends!  Do you have Pres Day off tomorrow?  I'm looking forward to another restful day!  :)   I don't have a doctor at the moment but I would like to figure out who I want my next OB to be (Sarah's doc moved after she was born) so I can get in and start talking to someone about this whole mess!!

Quinns momma - Wow, that is crazy about your sister!  Kinda makes me want to talk to a doctor if AF doesn't show her face sooon!  

[SueGre]

Hi Jen-Jen,

I'm still hanging in there, still holding out hope. I'd come over and help you clean up but by the time I there you'll be done!

I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.

Love ya!!!

[scienceteacher79]

Hey girls! Sorry, I am so MIA right now! I don't even know why I wish for the weekend to get here. I am busier then! UGH! Sue - pulling for ya!! I am so it was negative. Hang in there!

Amy - call your doc and see what they think about this and see if you should count it as a period or not.

I am going to iron (SOME MORE!) and clean up after my messy dinner making. I loe you guys Hang in there!!!

[SueGre]

It was negative - again! I'll test tomorrow with FMU.

[SueGre]

I HAD to pee. It was pretty light, but I'm doing a test anyway. About 4 minutes to go...

[Quinns momma]

Let us know...  :)

[amy0013]

Pee in a cup first and see how concentrated it looks.  If it's darker yellow, go ahead and test with it.  If it's more clear then that means it's diluted and might not show anything.  :)

[SueGre]

I meant "harder and harder"!

[SueGre]

It's getting harder and not harder to hold my pee. Think I could test after holding it for less than 2 hours?

[SueGre]

Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'll only temp in the morning from now on.

[Quinns momma]

Honestly, I would not.  The only temps you need to consider are the early morning ones. I have not even ovualted yet and if I take my temp randomly during the day I also get some that high.  That is not to burst your bubble but I think it adds stress to the situation to keep taking them randomly during the day/evening.

[SueGre]

I've been randomly taking my temps throughout the day, mostly in the afternoon and the evening. I know they are not "true" temps, but I figure if I have a temp of 99.0 on 14 dpo I have somewhat of a shot. Do you think I'm fooling myself and I shouldn't take these temps into consideration?
