:oops: I've been having a ligament-ish pain since yesterday afternoon/evening... and it's growing more uncomfortable. I remember when I was pregnant with Eliya, before I got the BFP, I had a TON of cramping... which is one of the many reasons I thought I was *not* pregnant and AF was on her way. I even thought I was going to miscarry after I got a BFP because I had such severe cramping which went all the way through my pg. I found out I have "irritable uterus"; I'm not sure if that goes for every pregnancy. But Anywho.

AF is due Monday... but I've *never* had this kind of ligament pain around AF... it's *only* happened when I'm pg. [whatthink] Now, I've birthed five children, and other pgnancies on top of that... so I'm wondering if my uterus is just getting more irritable?? Maybe I'm poooossssibly pregnant and I'm uber-sensitive to feeling the implantation pain and such? Or maybe this is just a sign AF is gonna be a booger again this month? God is the only one that knows the answer to that right now... but... I find all this fascinating.

If I *am* pg... this sensation makes TOTAL sense... if not... I hope this doesn't happen every AF cycle. :shock: Ouch. Anywho... this is where my "How Early Did You *Know*" post came from... I've been going "hhhmmm" since yesterday... and still days away from being able to get a reliable answer from a HPT. A few more days will tell~ Lift me up, ladies... that if AF does show, it won't be like LAST cycle... it was reallllly bad... and I have company coming up on the 5th, and I'll be on AF if I'm not pg. Ugh. :sad:

Thanks for hearing me out here... :a:

Oh Jen, I heard ya on the big, painful AF's! Last month wasn't so bad, but for the few before that... wow! Don't get in my way! It felt like AF was peeling wallpaper and wreaking havoc on my insides... blech.

OK, that was enough graphic description for now. lol

Praying for ya, Jen! and wow, Trip'! ugh!

Lord we lift Jen to you and pray that this is your sign to show new life. Lord if this is not a bfp I pray that Af be kind to Jen and be easy for her to deal with as she prepares for company.Amen.

Jen I hope that this is the sign for you will be thinking of you.

Okay, don't drive yourself batty...just POAS already! LOL......you know you'll go bonkers all weekend if you don't! ;-)

LOL about the "POAS already". Praying that either this is it or that AF takes it easy on you this month, whatever is the Lord's will.

Praying for a BFP for you Jen! Sorry about the ligament pain though, those can be no fun.

Hugs!
Sara

Well, I did POAS this AM, first thing... :oops:

I've got the uberest of faint lines... so I'm assuming it's an evap. But it *does* have color. So, if I did happen to implant yesterday... this *would* be a ridiculously early/faint BFP. If not.. it's just another lovely evap to add to my collection. The last lines I had like this were back in March when I either had a chemical pregnancy or what not. I had several faint lines on different tests... and then got AF early. Sooo... either way, I'll never know. but here it is... ::drum roll::

I know... I'm a weenie... but hey... s'ok, right? Ya gals love me anyways~ Right? right?....... [lovesmile]

By the way, *I* think I'm 7 dpo... as that's when I had all my symptoms of Ovulation... FF has my ovulation as one day later... thus, the 6 dpo. Anyways......

yuppers! we love ya!!!

Well, thanks for humoring your little friend, gals~ ::hugs::

ooowww, excited for you! ~Praying :-D

Okay, I don't see anything on your stick, but you are 6 dpo. I am praying for you. I know how hard it is to constantly wonder. and wait. and wait. and wonder.
So I am definately praying for you and the other ttc.
So we're waiting with you my friend!

I'm the same as Esther... I don't quite see anything YET... but I'm hoping and praying that there will be a nice bright clear line SOON!!!!!!

I concur (love it when I can use that word ::snort::)... I only see it on Hub's high def photo editing super sensitive (you get the idea) monitor... not in here on mine... but it was there IRL... but, like I said, uber faint... but it *was* pink... but those $trees are very deceptive~ Thanks for praying for me gals~ ::hugs::

With this pg I got a neg somewhere between 8-10 dpo but a pos at 13 dpo (and I tested again after that just to be sure!), so it doesn't necessarily mean anything this early. [hug]

Thanks Cham~ With Eliya, I got a negative at 10dpo, stark white... and then a BFP at 10dpo with a faint pink line (both $trees) and the lines got darker after that~ So, I'm not bummed... even if I wind up with AF Monday, I'll still praise God, because His plan is *perfect*~ But I can't help but be excited at the thought~ ;) Thanks gals, for being so sweet and loving~
[loveyou]

hey I was gonna ask if the extra things you have been taking seemed to helping at all?
I guess you won't really know if it lengthened your LP yet huh?

P.S. your excitement rubs off on us!:mrgreen:

I don't know if the B6 has helped yet, but according to gals over in FF's forums, I need to be taking a B-complex to help with the absorbtion. :???: Soooo, I gues we'll see. Some women do have luck JUST taking the b6... soo... anything is possible. The Omega 3-6-9 and B6 have really helped with my energy and irritability (or lack thereof, now) for certain~ That alone has made it worth it to take them~ Thanks for asking, Esther! :)

Yes we love you Jen! :) And we get excited with you and we are always hoping you get a Positive too!!!

Hugs!!!

Paloma.

Man, I need to take that Omega and B stuff. But then again I'm trying to remember to take my prenatal and my horrible iron pills.

As if to give me a heads up, the Lord has brought on Early AF signs... Severe Back/Hip pain, along with my other tell-tale signs that she's coming. ::sigh:: Soooooo... I was right... that was one crazy EVAP on that test. Oh well. Thanks gals for cheering me on... for supporting me... and for loving me~ And mostly for praying for me~

Please continue to pray for me and *AF* as my sister and her family will be here the 5th through the 13th and it's going to be a hectic time... I posted in my journal that I am very much an introvert, even when it comes to family... so this is SUPER uncomfortable for me. BUT, this trip isn't about US, it's about them~ They really need some Christian love in their lives!!! Pray for all of us, Please! :D

I definitely will have a LOT of other things to focus on in the coming few weeks... so I may not be here much after the 5th~ But I'll drop in with a hello when I can! Sure love you gals~ ::hugs::

[sadashamed] sorry for the horrid symptoms. i'll continue to be praying for you.

On another note, I think it's funny of you to say that you're an introvert, IRL you come across as, confident and outgoing! :-D
But most people would never think of me as an introvert. I've always had to put up a front as a child, so when others were around I'd act tougher than I was, now that I am older and a Pastor's Wife, I have to be more outgoing and friendly... if I could have it my way, I would just sit quietly in my corner with my kids....
I'll be praying for when your family comes as well. hugs friend

I think you just described me there as well, Esther~ ;) Thanks for your sweet words~ [hug]

Soooo Jen.... I'm dying to hear if AF arrived or what the dealio is!!

Nope... two days late... on 10 dpo... BFNs and no show of AF. ::shrugs:: I have no idea... maybe the b6 is doing that? I've never gone past 10 dpo when it's my 29th day... I usually start on my 28th cycle day... having a 9 to 10 day luteal phase... I'll let you know when AF shows, or I get a bfp~ ;) Thanks for checkin' on me Laura~

Yah for a longer LP! if you are pregnant, it would still be too early to get a bfp. I know some peeps have, but it doesn't work that way for everyone. [claploud]

Yeah, I know it could still be too early... I got a bfp with Li at 10 dpo... so I just had it in my head that I could get one just as early if not earlier this time around because of charting and being pretty sure about Ov. I'm an airhead!~ ;) Thanks for the check-in ladies! Big hugs!

Goodness this is getting suspenseful. I hope you do get your BFP this month.

anything???????????

oh Jeeeeeeennnnn!

The ladies over at Fertility Friend tend to have BFP goggles on; meaning that they can see a BFP on just about anything. ::snort:: HOWEVER *this* little pink line is there in reality... and as soon as hub wakes up, I'm heading out to get more Ptests to see if I can get some darker lines later today/tomorrow. Pray for me~ :) ETA: FRERs (or first response early results) tests have RARELY ever had evaps... and this has color... I've been taking these tests for the past four months and have never had a line like this show up on them!

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a188/mrsfozz/IMG_1540-1.jpg

Good luck, this is the first line I could *see* online, faint as it is....praying for peace and a clear answer either way for you so you can relax in your circumstances sweetie!

I see it! Praying for you .. excited for you and hoping [hug]

I see it too Jen.. praying for you today! hugs

:-) ::smiles:: praying for you, sistah!

I want to see a darn pink line!!!! What's wrong with my screen!!! I'm praying for you Jen!

"I want a pink line, I want a pink line"!

Well... I took another FRER and it's the same light pink line... ONE *fluke* faint pink line on a FRER i could see... but two? I don't think so. Add in that I'm now three days late... and other stuff that has happened over the last couple of days that have made me go "hhhmm". My cervix is high, firm and closed... in the 2ww it usually gets super low, somewhat soft and starts to open. Every time I've been pregnant I get a "pain" when I exercise... I had it last night while working out and though, "Well, that's weird." I've had a constant backache. My ligaments have been hurting this whole 2ww. I dunno. I just *know*. Now I just hope it sticks. I'll be retesting tomorrow and I bought a fancy digi to take as well. Anywho...................

I see the line! I had to squint to see it, but I do see it:mrgreen: Hoping you get a darker line tomorrow!

You know... it's funny... three or four years ago.. these two tests would have been enough for me... shoot... the FIRST test would have been enough... and I wouldn't have been seeking for confirmation from anyone outside of Tommy. KWIM? It's funny how belonging to a forum can change you. I don't know why I feel so bent on making sure you guys see this line. It's there. Period... and my PERIOD is NOT. Period. ::shrugs:: When did I turn into such a weenie??? ::snort:: I appreciate everyone checking on me and wishing me the best~ I love the love I get here~ It makes me feel so special and cared for~ So, please forgive my weenie-ness and thanks for lovin' me anyways~ ;)

no prob. Jenn. We love you!

I just can't wait to see the digi result.

no prob. Jenn. We love you!

I just can't wait to see the digi result.

Thanks Kana~ I'm going to wait until Friday AM to test... letting the HCG build up in my system. Going off my chart implantation JUST took place here recently, and would explain my BFNs up until today. So... hopefully I'll have time to post it Friday before my sister and brother in law show up! Keep praying for me! Big hugs all!!

okay, so Friday I won't be here. Why do you all do this to me? All of the ttc mommies, LOL. But it's okay.

Tell ya what, just get up at 7 when I do and post as soon as you poas. Then I'll be able to get thru my day :-)

Seriously, tho, I'll only be gone for a couple hours, gotta take B to work and run to the bank with his check, so you ain't got to do that, lol.

take care, dear.

Seriously Jen... you are KILLING me. What patience until Friday... I'd be testing every minute of every day until I got the answer. HA!
I DO see a very very very faint line in your picture! Will it go darker? THAT is the question. :)

Is it Friday yet? Surely it's Friday somewhere. Japan maybe? You can pretend you live in Japan for the day right?? Heehee

I would test... but then what if it's still not terribly dark? I don't have any more budgeted money for tests this cycle. This is it~ ::snort:: SOOO... tomorrow at the crackodawn I'll be testing~ I'll make it a point to at LEAST make time to come and let you all know what happens~ ;) My sister should be here early tomorrow morning... so that's why I'm hoping I'll have time! Thanks for thinkin' of me!

ok, Jen ~ what time would that be....hehe! love ya!

Yay! Lookin good! :-D So excited for you! [cheerful]

Jen just dropping in to let you know that I am thinking of you hope that you get that BFP.

Well... my line on the FRER was darker this afternoon... and that was after not "holding it". Sooo, expect to have a nice dark line in the morning to share with you guys~ :)

Alright... so I totally caved and tested this afternoon... I don't know if you all will be able to see this one any better than yesterday's... but it's there... believe me... and darker than yesterday's IRL... and this is with TOTALLY dilutedpee... not FMU or anything. Anywho... here ya go... I've boosted saturation and contrast to make it pop a bit more... I'll still be testing with FMU in the AM. ;)

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a188/mrsfozz/IMG_1552-1.jpg

I can see that one!

doing digi tomorrow, right?

I can see that one a lot better than the first! So exciting!

Yup... and I bought a couple more FRERs when I went to WM earlier... so I'll have another FRER and DIGI~ ;)

ETA: Hub doesn't know I bought more. ::snort:: He wouldn't be "upset" over me spending the extra money... but he's a dude. He takes that first faint line and says, "Yup, you're pregnant! That's AWESOME!! Now... let's get on with life..." HE's genuinely excited... but, ya know...he's a techy geeky photographer DUDE. Not an emotional, sensitive, pregnant WOMAN. KWIM? I'm looking for DARK-PINK-PREGNANT tomorrow... that'll just make my day. For hub... he's good. hehehe So, while I hadn't anticipated I would stretch my "pregnancy test budget"... eh... well... oh well. I had a buck off coupon and a few extra bucks on me. ::shrugs::

I have two faint lines in my house. Their names are Hannah and Micah. ;)

Congratulations Jen!!

yeah, Brian was standing here when I was scrolling down and said, "oh, who's pregnant now?" LOL

he said to tell ya congrats

Yay, Jen, I can see that one, too! Hooray!! Can't wait until tomorrow! Cut fluids off early tonight, gal. I wanna see a dehydrated, super concentrated pee result. THEN you can drink the gallons and gallons of water every day that you'll be needing for the next nine months. [cheerful]

[cheer]

Joy [welcomewave]

Thanks gals!! OF course... I can't go to sleep... and I've been sleepy since about six PM! Oy! ;) Is it morning yet??..........

Yay gen, :-)

Congrats Jen! I am so excited to read your wonderful news!
