Trying for a Baby Part 7

vesper

Hi QQ could you change me to 0dpo/1dpo, I got a peak on the cbfm today, but as I was so busy yesterday I didn't get to test on it yesterday so don't know if I had a peak yesterday or not. I don't think we will be successful this month as haven't even dtd yet this cycle.

Finding mother's day at bit hard this year, doesn't help that I made the mistake on going through my facebook earlier. It was either full of messages from people's children, my OH's cousin who was going on about her miscarriage again. Sorry I feel for her I really do, I know what she's gone through having been there too. But every single day she goes on about it.

OH told his dad today that we are trying, so that's the first person in our families that knows. He was trying to get his dad to actually cling onto what he has. FIL does seem to have perked up today though and scoffed down the roast dinner I made him, and crumble.
Thank you whoever said about inheritence tax, I knew about it anyway. But thank you!! OH and FIL are off to their solicitors this week to sort it all out and write up a contact (OH has stipulated that they do this) to show that he won't chuck FIL out onto the street (not that that would happen, but do know of someone it happened to, he transfered his house into his daughter's name, and as soon as he did, she threw him out).

hi everyone,

qq- glad your mil decided to have the op, perhaps it was the best thing telling her the whole truth even if it did spill out about the timescale, perhaps this might be the push for her to have it.
how are you coping? it must be hard going back and for though.

congrats 2b on the job as well, good to hear good news about jobs recently, the news seems to be filled with job losses..

vesper-so sorry to hear about your fil, sending you hugs, my grandfather gave up once my gran died and i remember how stressful it was just making sure he had a warm meal and did something with his day, he was so stubborn and wouldnt ask for help. is there any possibilty of carers maybe to help you with the meal side of things anyway and he would get to see other people every day and have a chat?

zcrat41- wallpaper with chickens on, ah im so jealous i would love to be able to keep chickens.

bigzippy- big hugs for you and your oh, he seems such a sweetie and yah for breaking out the chocolate, what do the shops expect putting eggs out so early!

codemonkey- sorry to hear about your parents, some parents just dont think sometimes they probably mean well but it comes out so wrong, giving you a hug so you can hold your tongue and not burst at them.

aida- hi aida- glad to hear you seem in a good place with what has happened, fingers crossed next time is your forever baby.

and afm i could really do with some help. I tested this morning but i had already got up at 6am and had a wee and when i tested it was 9am so it wasnt fmu but from what i could see it was a tiny faint line.
ive been testing since friday (i know but couldnt help it) and all the other days the stick has been completely white execpt for the dark control line but this morning it was the control line and a very very very faint line (where the test line would be) it looked a bit like a test line showing positive but very little colour. But its quite hard to see you really do have to squint and turn the stick in the light.(like a mad woman!)

so i didnt tell oh anything (partly in case he thought i was mad for seeing a line that wasnt there!) and we went out and i tried to not go to the toilet (about 3 hours). My wee was a bit yellow but not dark and tried again about 2pm and there is a line on the second test but it looks even lighter than the one i took at 9am?

so im not sure what to do i think from qq list i would be 10dpo today, ff is showing me as 11dpo though. the tests i have are from the internet the bulk buy, one step ones early tests.

I do have 1 clearblue digi (that i have been saving to confirm when i did get a bfp) but im thinking if its hardly showing up on the earlys, perhaps it wont show up on the digi yet because of the diff levels of sensitivity? and i should just wait a day, but thats easiest said then done.

im trying now to hold my wee in again and i will do another test after using the earlys test ones to see what that one will show.
Im just a bit worried in case they are evaporation lines but all the other tests ive done since friday all were white and clear.

how could i tell if they are evaporation line or proper results? (little voice in my head is having a go at me for testing before af is due- grr should have just waited)
right im going to try again in 3 hours and see what happens with more concentrated wee, will let you know.

If you think you may have PCOS or have irregular cycles, it may be worth it to get variety of different sensitivity IC OPKs to see which ones work for you.

Some people with PCOS have higher LH all the time and will give +OPK for a long time. In that case, you should get one which is less sensitive (higher number).

Places like Home Health can supply different sensitivity IC OPKs:

Thank you QQ!!! This is really helpful.I wasn't aware that you can buy OPKs with different sensitivity. Last ones were labled as 20 miu so I might stick with that for now.

Did you try the 30 miu or 40 miu tests?

Cleo: You might have something there if you can see a tiny tiny line but before getting your hopes high, test again in 2 days time. I know is really really hard but you should get a more accurate result by then. How long is your LP?

Congratulations Disziebubba for your BFP!!! I wish you a healthy pregnancy!

2bc3c Congratulation for your new job:beer:

Hugs for everyone who has a sick person in their family.

Vesper, CBFM automatically gives another Peak, High then Low after the 1st Peak, so today's would most likely have been Peak:cool:
I stop feeding the stick after the 1st Peak to save some sticks:money:
cleofish, I'm glad my DH is happy now that MIL having the op, he was really down after MIL asked him to cancel the op:o
Don't think I did it the right way, but it's done now:o
I'm coping fine, as I have other things on my plate - another possible IVF:p

As for your TLP, :j
I'd only test with digi with FMU as you are still very early. Good luck!
Aida, I think mine were 20miu.

How exciting! And I fully know your 'mad woman' feeling! I have been good and not tested today as a result of qq's wagging finger but I am still tempted. The test I did yesterday was with very very light colour wee, so maybe there is still a chance.

I am 1 DPO ahead of you... but this is probably a hiding to just depressing myself on Mothers day!

Congrats anyway, fingers crossed for you!!

cleo evap lines tend to be greyish in colour and tlps tend to be a very light pink, i know mine were very very faint even at 13dpo but i could still see it and so could OH.
