woo hoo robbie!

all that bding was worth it

 

[fisherofmengirly]

Yay, Robbie. Now, when you test tomorrow, on your pre-determined date, you''ll have an even better chance of having a positive without the "I think" before it.

How exciting!!

I''m gonna go all out crazy excited when it''s a confirmed positive, girl!!

****

In other news, my temp is still up in the high ranges today. 98.59 and I''m 7 DPO, according to FF.

Exciting.

 

[peonygirl]

Oh my gosh, robbie! That is wonderful! I''m so excited for you!!!

In other news, DH asked me to get the Fertell test for him. Hopefully it will either ease our minds and make us more relaxed about this cycle or uncover some issues that we can get resolved faster.

Congratulations Robbie!!! That's awesome news

ETA: Congrats nycbk!!!

 

[robbie3982]

Thanks ladies!!! Here''s a pic of the FRER in case anyone wanted to see

. It shows up much better in person, but it''s really hard to get a pic of it. I increased the saturation in photoshop so that you can see it a bit better in the second image.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

There''s DEFINITELY a line there. CONGRATS!!!!!


P.S., I''m not actively TTC, but this thread fascinates me.

 

[lovelylulu]

i spy with my little eye a very real line!!!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Robbie that''s what my line looked like at 11DPO! You are preggo, a line is a line! Congrats!! PS: it could take a few days or even a week to get darker so don''t panic if it still seems light for the next couple days...

 

[mela lu]

HOLY FARKING JERKSTORE CITY!!!!! Another one bites the dust!
I see it - it''s there. congrats Robbie!!!!!!

What does that make your EDD?

 

[happy in love]

wow, wow, wow!

Congratulations Robbie!

 

[robbie3982]

YAY! Thanks for the reassurance ladies!

Hudson, it fascinated me too way before we actually started TTC.

DD, did you ever take a digi? How long after you got your BFP did it show up on a digi? I want to take a digi tomorrow, but I''m hesitant because I feel like if it''s not showing up on a $tree yet, maybe my level will still be too low tomorrow too.

Mela, that makes my EDD 5/26 or 5/28 depending on which date I actually O''d on. I''m thinking probably the later since $tree was negative yesterday and today. Would it really be negative at 13 and 14dpo?

 

[Pandora II]

YAY ROBBIE! CONGRATULATIONS!

That is def a BFP - it's just a teeny bit fainter than mine was on 12DPO. I reckon you'll get a + on a digi either tomorrow or Thursday.

I'm presuming you didn't use FMU for the FRER and digi? If not then I would def think you'll get a BFP on the digi tomorrow with FMU.

What does your DH say???

Another May baby.

Never used a digi... I did use a cheapie test the day after the FRER faint positive and it was almost non-existent to see the line. FRERs have been known to give faint positives at 12 units of hcg, whereas I think digis need about 50?? Assuming you are at the lowest end, then it could be up to 4 more days before you can get a positive on the digi! (assuming a relatively fast doubling time of 48 hours). In your shoes I'd just go buy a 4-pack of FRERs and save the digi for a week from now. 12 DPO is so early sister, you have lots of time to play with POAS

A line is a line, you are pregnoid! Welcome to the 12 week wait

ETA: I looked at my chart to see when I tested: 11DPO faint positive on the FRER; 12 DPO faintest of faint lines on a blue dye test; 13 DPO still faint line on FRER, but a little darker; 18DPO line on FRER appeared before control! LOL!

Depends when implantation happened, since it is only with implantation that hcg begins to be prodcued. If implantation was later--say 10 days--then you could totally be getting negs on the $tree and digi.

 

[lover in athens]

YAY!! congrats robbie! THRILLED for you!!!

 

[am04]

Oh my gosh, Robbie!!!! I''m so happy for you! That''s definitely a line...congrats!

 

[robbie3982]

Thanks, Pandora! I actually always pee in a cup so that if I need to take more tests there''s more pee to do it with! LOL. DH is happy, but he was pretty sleepy when I woke him up. He''s also still just cautiously optimistic. I think in his head two thirds of the tests said no, so he''s scared to believe it 100%.

DD, hmmm, maybe I''ll only test on the digi tomorrow if the FRER looks much darker. How long do digis show the word "pregnant" anyway? My bffs are coming in from out of town on Thursday and I can''t wait to tell them! I need to think of a fun way to do it. Good point about the implantation date. I guess I''ll never know which day was really O day! I''m guessing there''s no way they''d be able to tell the difference since they were only 2 days apart.

Thanks, LIA!

I set up my first appointment for 10/16. I''ll be 8 weeks. They actually were able to get me in 2 weeks before then, but I figured we''d have a better chance of seeing/hearing the heartbeat if we wait longer. Agh! I''m so excited! I tried to go over to the pregnant psers thread, but I feel like a fraud posting in there so early! I think I''ll stay here for a little while if that''s ok. At least until I get a bfp on a digi.

 

[mela lu]

HAHAHA I SO know what you mean Robbie! I''m only 4wks3days and feel like a total flea in the pregnancy thread! ;p

You me and Pandora are all so close!!!

 

[AllieLuv83]

Man if I didn''t have BF before I sure do now after reading all these threads CONGRATULATIONS Robbie, keeping my fingers crossed for you

 

[Pandora II]

LOL, I'm so glad there are others who are merely having apple-pips right now too - since that is about how big it is - and don't feel ready to play with the big girls yet.

My digi stayed with the words on for 24 hours. DH was really upset when I threw it away. I was doing ICs everyday, but I forgot to pack any on Friday so I have no idea how my line is doing - I'll have a go on Thursday when I get home.

I'm 4wks 5days with an EDD of 21.05.09, so that makes all 3 of us within a week. WOW.

I am so, so happy for you! Wasn't this your first 'official' full month of trying?

 

[msb700]

a line is a line is a line!!! yay robbie!! so happy for you congratulations...

Hi Peony,

If you are anything like me you probably need to feel proactive about everything, and hopefully the Fertell will help ease your minds.

Your charts looked SO GOOD that I''m sure that it''s only a matter of time/luck. In some ways I think it makes it more difficult if you have good charts as you start looking for other things to be wrong when you don''t get KTFU when you did everything correctly.

Lets hope you''ll be announcing a June bambino soon!

 

[robbie3982]

Thanks, Allie!

Pandora and Mela, it would be pretty crazy if we all gave birth the same day! This was our first official full month of trying. It really doesn''t seem real. I totally expected to have to try for a while.

Thanks, msb!

 

[snlee]

Congratulations robbie! So happy for you!

 

[Sabine]

So I definitely got AFF today. I figured I would, so I''m not that disappointed. What I AM disappointed about is that we aren''t going to be able to try this month because if we were to get pregnant, I''d be due mid-end of June. We will be moving sometime in June, and dh might even have to move a week or 2 before me if my school ends after his begins, so I wouldn''t want to be due around then. I am definitely going to temp this month though to try to nail down exactly how long my luteral phase is.

 

[Independent Gal]

Yay Robbie! YAAAAAAAY!!

That''s four (?) jerkstores this month. It''s like a bulkbarn of jerkstores. If that made sense. But I guess it doesn''t huh. Well, whatever.

 

[nycbkgirl]

Robbie...congrats ..seeing that line is just the most exciting thing ever...i was shaking hysterically lol. but i recommend ladies doing the hpt the mornign before beta in my opinion it just keeps you from goin nuts through the 2ww ...you need as little stress as possible

sabine...im so sorry hun ..damn that AFF

...i always say it is better to jump right into the next cycle and keep a straight head for the ultimate goal..its upsettiing and stressful for sure but keep going and be positive!

the POI injections are doing a number on me...it is just so painful and my rear is in agonizing pain..anyone have any tips to ease the pain??
