Ladies, I need your help! LOL - OK, I did the "big no-no"! I went back and checked my test again AFTER 10 minutes. Very faint blue line, but obvious. Of course box, says not to read after 10 minutes (but how can you resist?) LOL - So do you guys think its an evaporation line? I googled "evaporation pregnancy results" and it said that the evaporation line would be "colorless"! Don't want to get my hopes up too much, but when should I test again? Has this happened to anyone else? Krissy, I think your rubbing off on me, LOL - Did you retest yet?

ah, LeAngel, I think the only thing to do is wait until tomorrow. Sucks, I know. I've never experienced the going back to look, so I don't know if that's possible or not-but there has to be a reason they say that. I thought evaporation lines would be more colorless, so if she a pink/blue line then I doubt it's an evaporation line...but again, I know nothing about that. I say wait until tomorrow though, b/c if you test today it may not be +. With my DD I tested got a + and then wanted reassurance, but the next several for the rest of that day were BFN, thankfully the next day BFP, so sit on your hands and save a test for tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm on the countdown for this month again. It's killing me! I know you all understand all too well.

Hi ladies -First of all I would like to thank you for all your support. Well I think you can count me out this month. Yesterday when I got home from the dentist I went to the bathroom and I wipe there was blood I put a pad on and told dh well I have started and he ask me was I sure LOL she ain't suppose to be here untils saturday. I said well I guess she wanted to come early. I went to lay down and take a nap cause I was sedated for the dental work and I was just tired any way I got up went to my night job but I was on my way back home after 30 minutes I was sick as a dog. I got on my pj and went to sleep nothing was on the pad this morning when I got up my temp was 97.7 same as yesterday. It was some blood on the pad but not like it should be if today would have been considered cd 1. I'm real confused right about now. Anyway I just went to the rest room it was nothing on the pad so when I took the tampon out there was blood on it but it was like old blood. even more confused when af comes to me I go HEAVY and clots big time for 7 days always been like this. Last month I only had her for 5 days shock the heck out of me. Anyway my clomid still haven't shown up so now I don't know what to do cause I always take them on 2-6 unless they show up I can keep my schedule or I could do another set of days what would be the last set of days to do it on?  

Name: LeAngel | Date: Apr 12th, 2008 9:02 AM
Well, I retested this morning. BFN. I have began to have some mild cramping and sore breast too. AF is probably just around the corner. Krissy, sorry to hear your news. As far as the clomid goes, I have heard that you can take it as late as CD5-9. But I don't want to give you any wrong info. My Dr told me to take CD3-7. Maybe some of the other ladies can tell you their experiences. I hope your Clomid gets here soon!!! --Redapple, Thank you for your reply. I was really hoping for that + to show up this morning. 

Name: LeAngel | Date: Apr 13th, 2008 8:17 AM
CD27************BFP************** Very, very, very faint, but I can see it from an arms length or if it is just laying on the bathroom sink. It took 5 minutes to show up too. But at least it wasn't after the "10 minute mark" this time. LOL - I am still a little nervous, so I'm going to try to see if my Dr. will see me tomorrow to confirm. Please pray for me, that this is indeed a +, and if it is confirmed, please pray for a healthy pregnancy. We have lost many babies, and I am very scared! Thank you all for your support and as always......Lots of Baby Dust to ALL! 

Name: redapplelassie | Date: Apr 14th, 2008 8:44 AM
LeAngel--CONGRATS! That is super exciting!!! Please keep us updated even though you are about to move on over to the first trimester forum!!! Have you called the doc yet? And, is this your first, I can't remember. Again, congrats...prayers and postivie thoughts being sent your way!!
 

Name: redapplelassie | Date: Apr 14th, 2008 8:51 AM
LeAngel, please forgive me. i just reread your post and see you said you've lost several babies. I'm sorry, having had 1 m/c, myself, I know it sucks. So, here is hoping even more for baby sitcky dust so you don't have to go through that again!!! 

Name: redapplelassie | Date: Apr 14th, 2008 8:55 AM
okay, one more and then I promise to stop!!! LeAngel, I read bak through the forum and see you are the one that had a m/c the same time I did!! So here is hoping that we have the same good luck since we shared the same bad luck. I can't test until Thursday....boy are the days dragging!!! 

Name: Krissy68 | Date: Apr 14th, 2008 3:26 PM
LeAngel - I am so happy for you. I did get the clomid in time and I'm taking 50mg on cd 2,4,& 6 and 100mg 3&5. I also started taking prenat on cd 1 but some of the ladies told me to start taking baby asprin as well I thought you took that later in the cycle so I will start that as well. When do I need to start doing the opk and taking the robintusin? I will keep you posted. Krissy68 

Name: LeAngel | Date: Apr 14th, 2008 7:09 PM
Redapple - Yes, I hope we share the same "good luck", please keep me posted. -- Krissy, I am so glad your clomid came! Start taking mucinex the next day after your last clomid pill, so i guess that would be cd7 and continue until you ovulate. Depending on how long your cycle is, determines when to start the opk. I "think" for a cycle of 28 days, you should start opk on cd11 and it is best to test in the afternoon. Remember not to use first morning urine because your level will be lower. Good Luck, Please keep us posted!

Oh yeah, as far as the baby aspirin, my Dr wanted me to start AFTER I got a positive pregnancy test and continue through the first trimester. I don't know what to recommend as far as the aspirin goes. I'm a little worried about taking it. I've done alot of research and it is very controversial. But my Dr, seems to think its a good thing, and he's the one with the degree! LOL ---Redapple, I go to the Dr this Wednesday. He's going to check my progesterone again. It was 32 a week and half ago, and he said that was very high. He would've been happy with a level of 10-12. LOL - So at this point, he doesn't think I need progesterone supplements, but wants to monitor me, to make sure my level doesn't drop! 

Name: sterlinberlin05 | Date: Apr 15th, 2008 1:18 PM
LleAngel that's awesome! I'm so excited now lol! I want a BFP! But my cycle seems like it was all over the place this month so I have no idea when or if I even o'd so I'm going to take a test this weekened and if it's negative I should start on the 22nd so we'll see what happens! 

Name: LeAngel | Date: Apr 15th, 2008 2:19 PM
Sterlin - Thank you. I hope you get a BFP too!!!! -- As for me, I started having a small amt of dark brown discharge. I called the Dr, and he thinks it is just implantation bleeding. I hope he is right! I go see him tomorrow and he is going to check my hCG level (in addition to progesterone level) to make sure it is rising. Please say a prayer for me! 

Name: redapplelassie | Date: Apr 16th, 2008 1:07 PM
LeAngel-how did the doc appt go? Anyone else still on here in the tww?!?! What are you doing to pass your time, and I am weird b/ I seriously obsess about this?!?!? That can't be healthy and everyone always says don't think about it and it will happen....but how do you not think about it!?!? 

Name: Krissy68 | Date: Apr 16th, 2008 6:00 PM
LeAngle - We are waiting to hear how the doctor's appointment went. Okay so I will start taking the robintussin on cd 7 and I will start the opk on cd 10 and not use the fmu. I only had AF 5 days this cycle and last so I guess my cycle is 31 days cause I have been starting on the 12th of the month but this month I started on the 11th. Will keep everyone updated. Krissy68 

Name: LeAngel | Date: Apr 16th, 2008 6:41 PM
Hey Ladies! Just got home. I am on bedrest until the spotting stops. They seem "fairly" optimistic that it is implantation bleeding. I get my blood results back in the morning and will draw another hCG level on Friday to see if it is increasing. They said I was 4wk1day and due Dec. 24....Keep your fingers crossed. How is everyone else doing? **Baby Dust to ALL** 

Name: Krissy68 | Date: Apr 17th, 2008 3:25 PM
LeAngle - Wow you will be having a Xmas Baby. Make sure you do what the doctor tell you. I'm so happy I know with my last baby I bled for the first 3 months but everything was okay and she was perfect, I just blamed it on my age. Krissy68 

Name: LeAngel | Date: Apr 17th, 2008 5:26 PM
Krissy - Thank you for the encouragement. Still spotting a little and I go back to the Dr tomorrow to have another hCG level. They called this afternoon and said my hCG was 325 and progesterone was 55. So hopefully my hCG will double by tomorrow. Where is everyone else on their cycle? Any BFP's? 

Name: Krissy68 | Date: Apr 18th, 2008 12:53 PM
LeAngel - How are you doing today? Well I am on cd 8 and I will be buying my opk today and start the testing on cd 10 I know in the afternoon. I've starting the waltussin cough syrup as well will keep you posted. Krissy68  

Name: redapplelassie | Date: Apr 18th, 2008 3:52 PM
Good Luck Krissy! LOL! It almost seems as if you are going into battle!!! So I'm feeling pretty bummed today. I took a test and got, you guessed it, a BFN!! Okay, I know it's 4 days before AF is due, so it could be early. But when the package says 69% get a BFP 4 days out and I don't, I can't help but think the odds are not in my favor for this month. I know you ladies understand all too well, but sometimes it just doesn't make sense. Some people can just think of getting pregnant and they are....why is it that I have to buy OPKs time BD adn then analyze EVERY feeling my body has in the tww. Annoying and frustrating! 

Name: LeAngel | Date: Apr 18th, 2008 8:15 PM
Krissy, Lots and lots and lots of baby dust to you! I expect to hear a BFP from you soon! -- Redapple, don't get frustrated just yet. I think I took about 4 test before I got a positive and even then it was very very faint! I think on CD27. Then retested the next morning and just slightly darker. And this was a sensitive hpt test that detected hCG at level 25mIU. ---As for my UPDATE, my hCG level more than doubled in just 40 hours. My hCG is up to 740.6. Yay! Unfortunately, I am still spotting a little when I wipe and I am having some lower back pain. I hope it's just coming from my little one growing inside. I am still worried though. Of course I will probably worry until, Dec. 24. LOL! Please keep me posted! Redapple....I expect to hear a BFP from you in a couple more days! Don't give up girl! Lots of BABY DUST to ALL! 

Name: sterlinberlin05 | Date: Apr 18th, 2008 9:37 PM
LeAngel don't worry! I think as long as your hcg is going up your good and my SIL has spotted everyday of her pregnancy and her baby is fine. At least I know she did until 14 weeks but I haven't asked lately so I think your good. All Ii know is my 2 ww is definately the two month wait! lol It's taking forever!! AHHH But if I go for my regular 22 day cycle af should be due on tues. And since I'm not sure of when I o'd I think it was like 4 days later but I'm still going to test if it doesn 't come on tues.! Redapple it's comming don't be dicouraged until af has come got it!? 

Name: LeAngel | Date: Apr 19th, 2008 9:35 AM
Sterlin- Thank you for your encouragement! --- I know what you mean about the 2ww. It is AWFUL. But the funny thing is, it doesn't stop after the BFP, because then you have the first Dr appt. "wait" to confirm pregnancy, then you got the ultrasound "wait" to see if you have a healthy beating heart, then you have the 9 month "wait" to hold that precious baby. I guess we just have to accept, us mom's are just a big ball of nerves! LOL Good Luck and Baby Dust to You! Keep us posted! 

Name: Krissy68 | Date: Apr 21st, 2008 3:57 PM
Redapplelassie - You are so correct we are doing battle and in the end we will all get our prize, some of us sooner then others we just have to stay positive and keep our FAITH. Have you tested again? Keeping my fingers cross for a BFP!!! Hang in there girl
LeAngel - Yea I'm glad your numbers doubled do you have to test again? Have the spotting stop yet? Try not to worry about it but I know that is easier said then done. Keep us posted, thinking about you. My better half will be home tomorrow and it will be on no matter how tired I am I'm on a mission and according to the opk I should start testing on cd 14 since my cycle is 31 days but I am going to start testing either cd 13 and another thing according to my fertility friend website it says I should start being fertile on cd 15 with me ovulating on cd 18, I figure I will start bd tomorrow and keep going. LOL
Sterlinberlin05 - Did you test again? Keeping my fingers cross for a BFP. Hang in there girl.

Thanks for the encouragement. Krissy, glad hubby comes home tomorrow...and hope all turns out positive! PUN intended!!! :) So here is the update. I took a FR test the morning, I am sure there was a faint, faint, I mean faint +...probably one you shouldn't count as I did have to hold it at the light...so I think it was actually an evap line...but still I held out hope. Went to the dollar store got a cheapie and as I was getting ready to test I spotted....so I guess I know what tomorrow brings...or maybe Wednesday, one dy this week AF will arrive. I guess it "could" be implantation, that's what my heart wants to beleive, but my head knows better as 13 dpo is a little late for implantation spotting. Disappointed, very much so. Tired of this,but thanks to you girls, I know I have to keep the faith. I'll check back in to let you all know 100% for sure....good luck to all reading!

A big fat 2...so that's not even close! Unfortunately, AF is still no where near of coming....this is the PITS!!!!!! Anyway, I have an appt Thursday just to talk with the doc so we will see what she says. Baby dust to those waiting!

Name: sterlinberlin05 | Date: Apr 23rd, 2008 9:36 AM
Redapple, Sorry about the BFN, I think that's what I'm going to get this weekend too....just have that feeling. I don't think I even o'd so who knows. LeAngel where are you and what's going on?! 

Name: Krissy68 | Date: Apr 23rd, 2008 5:50 PM
