Lol Joeve, you mean start testing now? Actually, I'm petrified! I am trying to be so positive and hopeful but I swear I feel less and less crampy Come to think of it, shouldn't progesterone pessaries be giving me some sort of side effects???? This is the first time I am taking the pessaries, I've only taken crinone in the past which gave me sore boobies & cramping.....So hard to stay positive!
hehehehehehe I don't need much encouragement Joeve! lol. If I test, I'll wait till Friday, that will be a week after transfer, I usually get a result either way by then. So.Scared!!! On another note, I got a bit light headed and queasy last night (late last night, around midnight) and boobies started to be sore this morning. It's progesterone right???
Can't recall if you wanted someone to put the brakes in your POAS addiction ----- but I'm here just in case!!! ---- just think about how crap it has made you feel in the past, then decide if you still really want to do it.
To be honest - I never have out of fear. I hate the sadness that comes with it. Let's be honest. BFNs are sad anyway. If you want to know before BT by all means. Test. Just do it once - the same day of BT or the day before. This testing every day stuff increases the stress and can retraumatize you every time.
Thanks myturn I did ask you to slap me if I wanted to test! haha. No desire ATM, see what the weekend brings lol. I think that's where I went wrong the last two times, I was testing everyday, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day, hoping against all odds the blank window was going to display that second line, even though in my heart of hearts, I knew it wasn't the news I wanted. I am just scared of not seeing that second line, that's what's keeping me from buying those tests. If I am strong enough to stay away from testing for the next week, I will definitely test the night before the BT. I'd rather be prepared in some way if it's NGN xx.
I'm sneaking in as well - in my head I agree with everything that myturn said... 100% correct in theory (and practice)....
BUT I'm a 'tester' from way back... Sorry I cant help it... And I feel as though someone need to get on Joeve's bandwagon (Joeve I really hope my memory serves correctly and it was you that said you are the encourager) so that am actually getting on the right bandwagon, and not dragging you onto one - you were never on in the first place (sorry that Asa super weird comment)....
My point is - I'm all for POAS, I always convince myself between 5dp5dt that if it's a neg then there's always tomorrow.... I think rom memory I got my bfp with the twins 8dp5dt.... And it was late in the afternoon (and I'd had a neg POAS that morning)...So if you need any encouragement Miss B - I'm here for you!!!
I agree also with myturn testing the day before or day of BT is a good way to go if your not going to POAS beforehand. I just don't think I could handle hearing negative news from the phone call?
Juniper and TT40 are you going to / have you already POAS?
Sneaks out (to return post transfer on Tuesday) - at lest we will get a couple of days together Miss B before you move to your due date group for any MKR fans - I've adopted tresne's positive reinforcement ideology - where if you think it will be, it will be.
I POAS this morning (10dpo) and got the usual "shadow" of a line, which I get on BFNs... Only tested because I've had nausea since yesterday... Guess it's just my sinuses making me feel icky... Might test again tomorrow, but only have 1 test left, so will see how I feel in the morning...
I called the emergency number, she said if she needs to go in she'll look it up for me. Their phone hours are only mon to fri. So i couldnt ring withoit using the emergency number..
She did call me back today but couldnt find the result. So she is going to chase it on monday.
TT40, that sucks that you'll have to wait longer! Sorry hun
Juniper, is 10 dpo a bit early for you? GL tomorrow hun
3rd time lucky, I'll have everything crossed for you on Tuesday next week! Oh gosh, I hope I get to move to a due date group next week, lol.
Bunnyfeet and Sarah, thanks for the wishes ladies!
Well, I did something silly on Thursday (9dpo) and pee'd on the stick and of course I was traumatised to see only one line. I don't know why I didn't wait to test till today! lol. So I swore off testing now till next week Friday, the day of my BT. I know it was too early to test, but the day before I had some strong cramping...I have had almost no cramping since then, instead I have this 'gurgly' cramping (sorry can't explain it better, it's like AF is about to come). Boobies are sore but it really feels like it's progesterone related. So I have a gut feeling this hasn't worked . Sigh.....
Sneaking back in to give Miss B a huge big hug. We will make a non POASer or you eventually xoxoxox sorry babe. You know rationally that it was way too early. So try to leave it at that - and stay busy!!!!!
I'm officially PUPO with a single blastie - so if its okay I'd like to come and hang out in here?
It's super quiet in here.... I hope maybe some other ladies will be joining soon? Miss B and Juniper I'm really grateful that you are both here....
My BT is next Thursday. I can imagine I won't be able to not POAS, the only real question is 'when' will I POAS. I'd welcome any advice on when is the most realistic time to start, I always start too early and I don't want to torture myself this cycle.
Congrats 3rd time lucky! Looks like your stay in here will be super short. Crossing everything for you hun. I normally had a result about the week after transfer hun. With my 6 day blastie (my DS) I remember I had a transfer on a Saturday and a very faint positive a week later on the Sunday. With my 2 day embie (I got pg but m/c later) I got a positive 6 days post transfer I think. Now, no testing for me though, I am just put off for life lol xx
Asses Miss B thank you. I have to admit I am a bit put off after today as well! It's a bit disconcerting testing to see whether the trigger has gone and getting a feint line - on the day of your transfer! I only started today because didn't want to wait 2 or 3 days post transfer and then cave and test - get a feint line, get my hopes up, and then discover the line has gone a few days later as the trigger disappears and I'm an idiot..
Maybe I am actually put of POAS as well... I've decided after today that I am going to go as long as poss without testing and try and just go off symptoms and intuition.. Today's experience freaked me out!
Juniper I'm thinking of you and have everything crossed AF hasn't arrived.
