I have to apologize for not getting this on here earlier. I was up at 5:30, but feeling so terrible that I POAS, put my temp into FF and went back to bed.

I'd only held my urine for 4 hours for this one. When I saturate it, there is definitely a second pink line there. The line is just as wide as the control line and without a doubt pink. I'm REALLY hoping that I am just someone who doesn't get a clear positive until it's time for my missed period because right now, especially based on the very real symptoms that I'm having, I'm worried about this being a chemical.

I won't be around much today, we have people coming over this evening for a BBQ (with a high of 43 today...should be fun) and I am feeling pretty cruddy. I'm just so tired and all I want to do is sleep. I'll catch up with all of you tonight (or hopefully this afternoon if I have a chance before they show).

2 pictures of the same test because one may be easier to see than the other...

It's still really early. Looks like you had a 15-day LP last month, so hopefully in a few days you will have a nice, blazingly dark BFP!!
Your symptoms sound promising!

In case you can't tell, we are all rooting for you!

[LifesGood]

I suck at seeing them..... I vote go digi. Sorry you arent feeling well

[Miss. Impatient Bevis]

i will be praying for you.

Congrats michelle!

Here's a couple of edited pics where you can see it a lot better!!

[Mod-LilSunshine]

I stink at seeing lines too...I think I see it in the first edited pic though! And um...please get a digi!!!

[alicenwonderland]

I actually see the line on the answer!!!! Maybe you just implanted late. What are your symptoms?

[Tammyms]

I see it Michelle!!!!

[Coley]

Each day I hope you get closer and closer to that BFP!!

[crazybabybrain]

Praying for you girl! Even though I stopped charting months ago, I keep stalking to see how you girls are doing! This is super exciting- I hope this is it for you!

[AlanaIris]

I totally see it! I really think this is the beginning of your BFP!

[robineliza]

I totally see it on the bottom pic! You may have just implanted late! My peesticks took about 3 days to start to actually get darker and more visible to the non-squinting eye! Sticky sticky sticky dust to you!

[OurSweetLabs]

I stink at seeing lines but Good LUCK and strong BFP vibes for in the Morning !!!

[DeepSouthMommy]

Thank you so much girls!!! Kate, thank you for editing the photos!! I knew that in person I could see that line there, but wasn't sure how well it was coming up in the picture. It's funny but the FRER's showed NOTHING, but I had a faint line on an EPT yesterday and the faint line on the Answer today. So much for FRER being the better, more sensitive test! (I'm really peeved about the changes made to the FRER's.)

Alice...Teresa made a good point...she thinks that I may be 10dpo instead of 12dpo, which is possible. That could be why the line is so light. Robin, I had someone on another board tell me the same thing...that it took about 3 days before their test got dark enough that you could see it without squinting! I sure hope that I get a nice dark line tomorrow!

About the digi though...I woke up this morning feeling so cruddy that I went back to bed after testing and didn't get up till almost 11. I have been going nonstop today and we had company over tonight, so I didn't get a chance to get any digi. I WILL get them tomorrow though!! I'll update you girls in the morning!

Again, thank you all so much for all of the support. It really means so much to me. You girls are amazing.

Alice, I'm so sorry, I forgot my symptoms. Ok, so far I've had off and on queasiness. Not really nausea, but things that make my tummy flip flop, things that normally don't bother me at all. Heartburn, AF type cramps shortly after O, I've been EXTREMELY gassy. Oh my God, the gas is just embarrassing. I've been eating like there's no tomorrow, very tired all the time, headaches every day (I never get headaches like this), DH says I've been very irritable and the big kicker is that for about 4 days now DH has been timing it and I pee every 2 hours. I normally only pee 3, MAYBE 4 times a day. I'm bloated and have been having some really weird feelings around my uterus, my sense of smell is incredible. I walked into the bathroom one day and told DH that the scented stuff he got me for Christmas was really strong. (It's scented rocks or something that are sitting in a decorative dish in there). The odd thing about it...I was disappointed at Christmas because they didn't really have much of a scent. But now it's overwhelming to me and they've been sitting out for over a month?!

At 9dpo (possibly 7dpo if Teresa is correct), I had a stabbing/pinching sensation around the upper part of my uterus. Definitely NOT something I've ever felt before, so I'm wondering if that might have been implantation?? I don't know. Oh, and there's of course been the tons of creamy CM that's yellowish. I think that covers it as far as symptoms go.

[Tammyms]

That all sounds like pg symptoms to me Michelle!!! And, looking at your chart, I agree that 10DPO sounds more realistic!

And look at me copying you... we had a horribly long cycle together, you had a shorter cycle next, look at my last cycle, it was shorter too... so, if you get your BFP this cycle I should get mind next cycle too! At least that's what I told DH!

[alicenwonderland]

I have the peeing and cramping. Could be the real deal. How are your nipples? And yeah, EPT gave me the most obvious BFP early on. I think i'm switching to +/- tests... they jut work so much better. At the end of this week i'll be posting a progression.

[HopeNFaith]

It sounds like you are in to me! I had a lot of the same symptoms, still do. The smell thing is so amazing/weird. Congrats!!

I had this symptom, too, around 9 DPO! Very good sign if you ask me!! Still praying that this is it for you!

The passing gas and strong sense of smell were two of my symptoms! Yay!!! I cant wait to see another BFP!
