Celena I am so sorry! It's just not fair hunnie. I wish I could be there to take away all your pain. I love you. Stay strong.

Celena- I'm sorry for the BFN hon. If we could only will the test to bring us the answer we need.

AFM- CD 30. My bbt fell off of my nightstand sometime in the night, and when I woke up to take it I couldn't find it and decided not to worry about it. I slept in way later then I usually do, so my temp would be off cos of that, and then wiggling around to find the bbt would effect it too--so I decided against it.
AF should start anywhere from 4-8 days. Still trying to hold off testing.

I a so sorry about the BFN Celena.. I know it sucks big timeI may be a cyber stranger but I'm still gonna give you a mental hug and hope your spirits rise up again soon .

AFM: today is 11dpo, I tested this morning and still had a BFN . Symptoms are still the same as my last post , nauseous, mainly in the pm but sometimes throught the day, slight cramping, headaches,weepiness, super hungry but picky eater and very tempermental . Late last night(10dpo) I had slight spotting but it only came on the toilet paper when I put it waay high to check for cm, it was creamy super light pink and some brown , never reached my panties and I did not and still do not need a pad or liner . This afternoon it was super light brown/pink, also still only when I checked up high for cm with TP, tonight when I checked for cm it was not darker and still kind of creamy ish but it was like a faint pink stain on the TP , like you were painting with pink water colors and wiped the brush off , gross I know but the only way I can think to picture it . So it is not darker, almost fainter in way , just a slightly different in consistency,thinner more watery .. Ok sorry for all the details but I am nervous.. this spotting/staining either means something awesome or somehting really bad .
Oh AF is not due for 5-8 ish days so it would be early for AF, I have PCOS and even when we use fertility meds with or without the trigger shot it takes at least 30 days if not 35 days for AF to come and thats with confirmed ovulation . Has anyone here ever had implantation bleeding and how long did it last, what did it look like and so on . from what I have read it can vary from 1 day to a few days and can be pink or brown but not normally bright red . Oh and I am still taking the 200mg progesterone supps at night .
I know 11dpo is still early but the spotting does make me unsure.. everyone seems to think it is IB but who knows.. I shall test again tomorrow and pray pray pray for my BFP.. We are under a typhoon warning , so I hope I do not lose power , I wil up date tomorrow if I have internet :-) Good luck ladies and I'm thankful for any feedback

Well, I should know for sure today. I had an order for bloodwork after my last chemical. My doc had given me the option to have it done (follow the levels down) and I had said I wanted it. But then when it came down to it, we were all sick in the house and I never got it done. So they called yesterday and were like "when did you do that bloodwork?" I said I hadn't and that it was optional. And the nurse was like "no, we do want you to get it done."

So I went and had my blood drawn yesterday and should know if I am pregnant this time by this afternoon. I did tell her that I might be pregnant again and she said that it was fine, the bloodwork would tell us. I tested BFN again this morning at 10DPO. I guess the bloodtests are more sensitive, if she knows she will be able to tell me by it. I can't help but be scared...I really want it to happen...but at the same time...I just feel like I am going to get crushed again I hate bloodwork because it never has given me good news.

Anyway, there it is for me. I hope that it is implantation bleeding for you okiliz. That would be the ideal And I hope you do not get a typhoon. I did not realize that those actually existed...I sorta thought it was just a word used to describe copious amounts of rain. I learned something new today! Anyone else with news? Good or bad....

[BeccaM]

Celena - Massive hugs hun!! Im so sorry you saw a bfn. Its just so not fair.

Tobi - Im sorry you are neither here nor over there lol hopefully she makes up her mind what she is doing soon.

Ash - Cant wait to here about the results. Keeping my fingers crossed its a BFP!

Amy - Im sorry your bbt took a dive off the table hopefully you will see a bfp in a few days.

Okiliz - All symptoms sound so promising. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

AFM - CD 27/8DPO... Woke up to spotting WTH!?!?! Never have af this early! Im usually a 30-35 day cycle gal. Im still stuffy, my back hurts but no cramping like af is coming. Not sure what to make of it all. Not getting my hopes up thou!

[kzoo1280]

Good luck, Ash! I hope it's great news for you! But even if it's not, we'll be here for you to vent!

Liz, all of your symptoms and posts sound so good! I'm just waiting for you to get that BFP!

Good luck, Amy!!

Becca - Those symptoms sound great! Looks like possible IB for you!! Good luck!

AFM - BFN this morning and I'm feeling crampy...like AF is coming. She's not due for a few more days though. Who knows what's going on. I ovulated later than I thought I would...around cd17...so I don't know if my cycle is going to be the normal 28 days or something longer...uhg...I just want to get pregnant and have all this guessing and day counting over with!

[MossyGirl]

Liz - It still sounds like implantation. Really hoping for you!!!

Ash - Hoping for your BFP today with the blood test!!!! Keep us posted!!

Kristin - Sorry you are spotting! Is it an AF type of spotting or an IB type of spotting? Come on BFP!!!!

AFM - No emotional breakdowns thus far today which is a BONUS!!! I passed out on the couch at 8:30 last night which is out of character for me. Having pulling/pinching sensations, backache, and headaches since yesterday, also my boobs are HUGE!!! Praying so hard that this is it. I was going to test this morning, but too scared. AF is due either Friday or Sunday (depending on 26 or 28 day cycle). Maybe I will have the nerve to test tomorrow!

Losing faith in one of my good (pregnant) friends. Im so glad I have you guys to talk to. No one else seems to understand what we are going through which is really frustrating!!! So super big thanks to all of you for being here for me and for each other!!!

[MossyGirl]

Side note...I am "craving" ice cold water and ice cold OJ! Is this a sign? 10 dpo today.

[MeganMomof5]

Becca, I had spotting at 8 DPO before, and it was IB!!! WHOOOO I'm going to stalk you now

[tobi4]

Becca!!! Maybe that psychic reading is going to turn out true for you!! A July baby! My fingers are crossed, hoping that is IB!!!
AFM- Started bleeding this am.

[kzoo1280]

Tiffani - no spotting, just some cramping. your symptoms sound great too! good luck! And break out those tests!! how can you wait?!?!

[MossyGirl]

Kristin - Hahahaha...another symptom...I can't read!!! I could have sworn you said spotting!!! My bad!!

Cramping can be a very good sign...hopefully ur eggie is settling in for its 9 month stay!!

I have some serious will power when it comes to testing...I just hate being disappointed so that keeps me in check...not to mention I forgot to bring a sample cup upstairs and I had to pee too bad this morning to go grab one!!

[msshamis23]

Quick pop in--I'll update a little bit more later, but CD 31. Was gonna test this morning, but I feel pre AF, and I figured thats not a good sign. So i'm going to hold off some more.......

[ashj_1218]

Well...doc did not call today I guess they either did not the blood work results, or they did not have time to call me. If they don't call by noon tomorrow, I am calling them! Lol. Or if I don't get a BFP

My boobies are getting more sore, which is very atypical. I really hope this is a good sign. I do have to say that the suckier part for me is the first couple weeks after the positive test. Chemicals just are so yucky I am so afraid that it would just happen again.

[ohnicole]

Come on girls, bring on the BFPs!!! All the IB and other IPS sounds like a boom is on the way

Ash, you are absolutely killing me KUP!

[msshamis23]

Ash- My fingers are crossed for ya, and I definitely want you to be calling them if they don't call by noon! Let's see that BFP!

AFM- Still can't find my stinkin' BBT! It's like it took a dive off of my nightstand, and into a parallel universe, meant to taunt and frustrate women who are TTC! I figured it wasn't that big of a deal again anyway, because I woke up later again anyway--but I do need to locate it by tomorrow because I know i'll be waking up early. Even though I'm sure I O'd--if I O'd at all and it's all probably a moot point til CD 1 (when I start temping vaginally) but still. Don't want to get out of the habit of doing it.

[skyebl47]

mind if I join? I'm 8-9 dpo and I really want to poas REALLY bad. I just don't want to see the BFN. The said part is that I got the First response test to which makes it even harder. next time I'm not buying the test right after I O they only cause me to want to pee on them.

[okiliz]

Well Girls I am out :-( . Spotting got even heavier overnight and is a black brown with bright red mixed in and I need a pad, so AF showed:-( just in time for halloween .. I am so super depressed about it . I feel like I had all of the signs and last night and this morning I had super faint but pink positives on ICs. I figured the spotting was still ok even when I had brown spotting on my panty liner this morning but when it started to turn a little red I knew it was over :-(.. The only odd thing is that is is not a normal AF flow yet ... I am just surprised.. I have never had a cycle shorter then 30 days... even with fertility meds and trigger shots when we knew I ovulated it was normally 35 days.. Today is only CD 25 for me .. I was on progesterone for the first time this cycle... could that have altered my cycle so much? I am stopping it tonight.. at least I'll have extra for next time I guess .. I think because I was so sure this would work I am more depressed then I thought I would be.. it worked the first time we did an IUI last time.. This was our first try since we lost our twin boys and I just wanted this so bad... I did not care if we got pregnant with twins or a singleton boy or girl.. I just wanted a baby in my arms.. I was so sure I even bought a shirt that said "jingle belly,jingle belly, baby on the way .... Now I feel stupid...
We can't do another IUI till january, maybe december but hubby is due to leave in december and we are waiting on the insurance check.. We should get it before december 1st but he leaves on the 29th of november :-(........ So I am trying to be positive... I have pcos and am over weight .... There is nothing I can do about the pcos really but I can lose weight... So these next two months I am going to work really hard on losing weight and eating even healthier ... We decided we are going to try soy this cycle and test for ovulation and time BD but I am not going to stress over it . December will most likely be a full cycle off for us but then again he is only going for 3 weeks so who knows when or if my wacky body will O . I'm going to get tested for clotting and insulin resistance and anything else I can find that I could be tested for and in January we will do another IUI, I will be in better shape and I will get pregnant !@! ! I turn 30 January 20th .. My new goal is to be pregnant by my birthday.... or.. at least in January :-) .. Now I am off to look up more info about soy and move over to the 2ww to O side .. I wish all of you awesome wonderful good luck .. Come on BFPs !!!!!!

[MossyGirl]

Tested this morning...BFN (cue doubt!!)

Anyone else test? Let's see those BFPs!!!

Skye - Welcome!!!!!

Liz - Sorry about AF!!!!!

[ashj_1218]

Another BFN for me. Even though I swear I am pregnant. Waiting for the doc call...although the blood test was at 9DPO and I wonder if they are going to be able to tell? I am 11DPO this morning. I was tilting that sucker every which way to see a line Not there. But I guess I am not totally out. I just dread testing the next couple days, since nothing good has ever come out of my tests 12-14DPO showing my first positive. Sigh....

I am so sorry okiliz That is heartbreaking. Hopefully a little break will bring a BFP with a vengence
