Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 I WOULD BE AT THE DRUG STORE SO FAST BUYING THAT HPT YOU WOULD HARDLY NOTICE I WAS GONE BY THE TIME I WAS BACK USING IT!!!!!!!!!! Go for it, -Maree!!!!!!! Go now, take it, get back on your computer and tell us what happened!!!!!!!! Do it! I'm waiting! Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 -Maree, Oooh, I am hoping this month is the month for you!!! You never know when it will happen--lots of women get pg without help, even after years of trying. My mom tried for #2 (me) for 5 years before it happened. And here I am! The first response early result pg test detects hcg down to like 50, and I got a positive at 42 w/this pg (2-5 days before af was due). They also seem to have some false positives, but it's just a thought. Keep us posted! DeeAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after 10 dpo you get a lot of false negatives. Most people will tell you that you should, for economic reasons, wait until your period is due. I, on the other hand, will tell you to test whenever the heck you need to so you can go to bed that night without laying there until 3 a.m. wondering " I wonder if its positive!?!?! " . My cycles range from 28-33 days long. What never changes by more than 1 day is the number of dpo. It is always 12 or 13 for me, and for most women its pretty consistent. So, if I don't ovulate until day 20 I can have a 33 day cycle and AF is still not technically late. Do you know when you ovulated and what your typical luteal phase (number of days from o to af) is? This will help save some money on hpts if you're like me!! I swear I should buy stock in these companies. The woman at the drug store near our house must think I'm some kind of a nut with the amount I buy... Let us know how it goes!!!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 LOL! How long AFTER AF is due??? Are you crazy?! Those *real* junkies (like me) start testing 3-4 days BEFORE AF is due! Seriously, you should be able to get an accurate reading any time now. I hope this is IT for you!!!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 -Maree, Sounds like your body is getting back to normal? How long are your cycles ususally? As for the hpt....gee, I couldn't wait, I try to buy the test where you can test up to 3 days before af is due? (can't remember the name of it) I am glad you are going to start ttc next month (if by chance you are pg this month, that would be great though!) I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I know deciding to start ttc after the loss is not always easy, I know I was really scared. Take care and good luck and of course keep us posted. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Thanks DeeAnn. I am a big chicken - I didn't get the test. I keep having twinges all over my abdomen but nothing like I would expect for AF. Sort of twinges, which is what I had with my ep when I first found I was pg. If nothing shows by the time I leave work today, I will buy the hpt on my way home. I want to know, but if it's +ve then all the worrying starts!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 -Maree, OK, I can't believe how strong you are......you haven't tested yet????? Wow, girl!!!! I will be thinking of you. I know the night before I tested I cried before I went to sleep b/c I had mild cramps, which I thought af was surely coming........so you never know!! I am praying for you and sending lots of +++++Thoughts your way!! I know how scary it can be and I know what you mean all the worrying starts if it is +!! Good luck. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Becca, I honestly have no idea how long anything is in my cycle! before my ep, I ranged from 27 to 34 days with no regular pattern. I did take temps before I started clomid and it seemed I didn't ovulate until around cd18. Once my RE reckoned we had the clomid dosage etc worked out he didn't seem the need for BBT anymore. I quickly fell out of that habit, let me tell you. I think I will starting taking them again because if I do get pg, I would like to know when it might have happened. I still haven't bought a hpt - maybe I should the money I would have saved is spent on toilet paper constantly going and peeing and then checking the paper (just in case). A little tip - DON'T BUY PRINTED toilet paper when expecting AF! The one i have at home has little orange flowers on it, and when its wet they look red. I don't really want to be looking that closely! Sorry to be gross girls... ~Maree shara @ cutey.com ***** Email addresses in this document have a space before and after the @ symbol.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 R, Thanks for the b'day wishes!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 Becca, I haven't asked dh for his opinion - I don't want to burst his bubble! My dh is more attuned to my body than I am. He usually can tell (by my moods) which stage of cycle I am at! It's amazing how neurotic we all get sometimes checking for AF.
