Thanks Pandora! So you were able to use all of it after a few tries? We''ve actually never used lube of any kind before, so it sound be interesting! Does it, um, make sex feel different?

I thought it made sex better - but then my meds mean I need to use lube anyway, and this one was really nice compared with most brands.

Don''t try to squeeze it all out in one go, you''ll need a couple of tries. That said, you may not need all the tube contents anyway. I was going with the more is more and tres expensive at that approach!

Robbie, what time is it right now?
 
Keeping my fingers crossed for you robbie...i wouldn''t have the willpower with the test and cup right there

I''m 5dpo and have slight cramping on my right side today. other than that just waiting.
 
Pandora, it''s 8:30pm right now.

NYC, I''m actually getting kind of nervous. I know a bfn doesn''t really mean I''m out since it''s still early, but I feel like I''ve been waiting for this moment for forever. I mean I''ve tested before, but this is our first real month TTC (since we apparently started after O last month) and the first month I actually have a real shot at being pregnant. Agh! The pressure!

Good luck Robbie! Probably shouldn''t be saying this but I have a feeling you are actually 12 dpo and preggers! Either way, congrats on holding out for your original test date!

Good luck Robbie. This post moved me. Hang in there!!!
 
Good luck robbie! I just went through the same thing earlier this month. Hope you have better luck than we did!
 
just wanted to add my wishes with the rest...good luck robbie!
 
Well, I couldn''t stay asleep until 5:30.

BFN

I''m not really upset because I don''t think I really expected to see a bfp this early. Ok, now I''m not testing until the last day AF would be due (assuming no huge temp drop or AFF arrival) which would be 13dpo, so Wednesday.

My temp went down a little more this morning, but i woke up more than an hour before I''m supposed to temp and it''s still above coverline. When I use the temp adjuster though it seems to have been on a steady decline since Thursday.

Thanks, Am, Kaleigh, Peony and Msb!

I hope you''re right, Am!
 
Big hug Robbie and fingers crossed for Wednesday.

Keep thinking positive - oh and I had a BFN on the morning of 11DPO.
 
hugs robbie...hopefully wednesday you''ll see those 2 lines.
 
robbie: heaps of baby dust for wednesday!!

nyc: so now that you''re fully into the TWW, what are your testing plans? still waiting?

I''m at DPO8 and as of this morning (though it''s early) still no spotting, which is exciting as my last cycle it started at DPO7 . . . but i''m not getting too excited because i think that it''s typically a 5-7 days in advance kind of an occurance.
 
Awe, Robbie, it''s still early. Keeping my fx for Wednesday.

I completed the fertility friend course today and got a 91% on the test. Is there any way to tell what questions I got wrong?
 
Robbie I''m sorry! As Pandora said, it isn''t definitive, wait for AFF to show, or not show, then you will know!

Fisher How was the temp this morning? Yup, I''m stalking you!

hi ladies i am new on this site and i have my beta tomorrow! im freakin out and i really dont expect to see a bfp. i am 25 with pcos and this is my 1st ivf after 3 failed iui''s. but i feel like i am getting my period...i keep looking when i wipe and it looks like its getting darker and that usually happend right before you know who shows up
face8.gif
. i read that usually you get spotting and cramps when implantation happens and i didnt get any of that so im pretty ready for a bfn tomorrow. i will buy the hpt tonite and do it right before i leave for the beta tom morning.

i wish you all luck!!
 
NYCBK, it ain''t over until AFF sings! Only a minority of women experience symptoms at implantation. The majority do not. And, as many of us can attest, plenty of other women experience exact symptoms of AFF and become certain we''re not pregnoid and then boom, guess we were wrong! I spotted for days with cramps and a general grumpy PMS feeling and then got my BFP.

So, don''t give up hope!

You too Robbie! You know very well that it would be very unlikely to get a BFP that early. I also had an ambiguous egg date. I didn''t get my BFP until what I thought was 16 DPO (only it turned out that the advanced setting on FF was right and I actually ovulated later...I convinced myself that the FAM date was the right one because I wanted it to be further along in the game! but dating scans later confirmed that FF had it right), so my BFP was actually 12DPO. And it was sooooooo faint. It''s still way early, girlyo!
 
Thanks, Indy.

I know I''m not out yet, but I''m just not feeling too optimistic about this cycle right now. I have a feeling advanced is right for me too. I ALWAYS start spotting by 11dpo so I think tomorrow will give me some further insight, though I know even spotting wouldn''t mean I''m out. No spotting, however, would be something different from every other cycle at least.
 
the 1st time i was pregnant i swore aff was coming any second. i was in the bathroom every 20 min. because i felt like she had just showed up. i had all the usual aff symptoms; cramps, sore boobs, and moodiness. i didn''t think i was pregnant, but when i was a day late i said hmmm and the next day i got a bfp. then i tested about 6 times

.

i think i may test on friday which will be 11dpo.
 
Last night was a rough night. My brother had a crisis. Anyone of the praying type, please send a prayer up for him. Happily, today looks to be going better for him.

Because of the crisis situation last night, sleep was hard to come by. I woke up several times as phone calls came in regarding the situation, and when they stopped for the night, going to sleep and staying asleep was difficult.

I didn't get the three hours needed to temp accurately, but I did still take the temp at the regular time (5:30am) and got 97.89. That's a slight shift down. Then I fell asleep again (and we completely missed church) and woke up around 9:30am and I temped again since I'd had that 3 hours needed of sleep and got a whopping 98.82. So, not sure which to go off of, or if I should just add them and then divide by two for a temp for today's log in the chart.

I guess it doesn't matter a whole lot either way, since it wasn't low enough to change the O day back to CD 19 for me.

******ETA: Wait. I looked at the temps wrong, apparently. The first morning temp (when I usually temp, but didn't have a full three hours for it today) was NOT 97.89. It was 98.72. Then I temped after I woke up from a three hour sleep at 9:30am and had 98.82. So that's not much of a difference. after all, so it probably doesn't matter what I put in. I wonder how I read that wrong or remembered it wrong by such a big amount. Hm.


Robbie,

Girl, don't give up hope til you have to. There are still several days to go that may end up with a positive test!

Welcome to the new people, too! This place is growing as fast as we *lose* people due to getting preggo!

Oh, and DD, I have still been monitoring CM and today I had that globby sticky stuff, not the what I thought was EW but don''t know if it''s EW stuff.

Is there a type of CM you get when you''re implanting, I''m curious to know, but haven''t found anything about that. Probably means no, huh?
 
fisher,

I'd use the temp you first took at 5:30. I hope all is well with your brother. He's in my thoughts.

Fingers crossed for you, Robbie! It's still quite early.
1.gif
 
Fisher I would probably enter the lower temp and record "sleep disturbance" under the signs tab, since for me at least the time I temp has a huge effects... as it gets later in the morning, your body's metabolism changes and it raises your temperature a lot. So even if the earlier one is off, the later one is probably more off, KWIM? ETA Well good, then your temps are far above cover line! Either way, still above cover line so that is good news. And it sounds like you have sticky CF today, and nope, sorry to say, there is no pattern of CF that predicts implantation or being pg! As usualy, you simply cannot predict. ETA And I am sorry about your family crisis, that is so stressful but I`m sure you all are doing everything you can to support him in this time.
 
INDEP GAL- thanks for the good thoughts and trying to make me stay positive
emwink.gif
i will do my best ...just have to make it til tomorrow and wait for that G-d awful call from nurse! i will take the hpt before i leave tom morning so i will have an idea of what goin on. hpt has never been good to me so i am scared.

ROBBIE- hang in there girl..we are in the same boat ,,,no more hpt''s til beta!

i have 2 blasts embies frozen so i keep telling myself if i get the bfn 2mor i will just head straight into the FET and that keeps my hopes alive

I didn''t have any spotting or any cramps at all, so you can''t count on that - I think it''s only about 30% who get physically obvious signs of implantation.
 
pandora- thanks i appreciat anything that keeps me positive...in my mind i know that everyone is different but i just cant stop being negative
33.gif


my sister just gave me a lecture about how negative i am and how that wont help anything or anyone...shes been through this process many times and gives me good advice. i dont have much longer to wait and tomorrow i can finally get my answer and stop obsessing everytime i go to the bathroom! if its bfn i will just jump into the FET and thats that... if its bfp then well that will be the greatest day in my life... so only a few hrs to go! i am goin to the pharmacy to buy the hpt to do before beta because i def want to have some sense.

wish me luck! and the best to all of you with betas coming up

The best of luck to you tomorrow - I hope your dreams come true.
 
Oooh, good luck NYCsparkle!

Fisher, I hope everything's ok with your brother. I'll keep your family in my thoughts.

Thanks, Ebree!

nycbkgirl, good luck tomorrow with your beta! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I was checking CM earlier and noticed a very slight bit of spotting. It's light enough that if I wasn't checking internally and seriously scrutinizing everything at this point I wouldn't have noticed it at all. Ok, and last crazy (possibly imaginary) symptom for the night: I swear I can start to see veins on my breasts. They're not super visible, but they weren't there a few days ago. I'm actually very grossed out by veins and one of the things that I hate about my body is how translucent my skin is. I've been able to see veins in my arms and legs forever, but not my breasts. Crossing my fingers that my vision didn't just suddenly get better :)

ETA: DH says he can see them too, but he can't remember if that's something new.
 
Thanks for the thoughts for my brother, guys. Things are looking up, but there''s still a long road to travel, I know.

**

Robbie, that ETA cracked me up. You two are both so desperately wanting a baby. It''s precious. Neither you or I have been trying very long, but isn''t it crazy how much more intense the desire becomes from day to day? I love seeing the way it''s changed Paul. He used to be terrified of it (and I''m sure he will be again when we actually find out we are pregnant) and now there is this sense of longing in his voice, and in the things he says. He tries to be grounded for me, but he''ll see symptoms and things right along with me, then say something about how he doesn''t know if it was like that before or not.... So cute!!

So, you''re not testing again til Wednesday?
