** UPDATE 11/6/12 ** AF is officially in town :( My temps dropped today. Love you all, thank you for the positive vibes... I needed them today.... for some reason this hit me pretty hard and I'm trying to keep my hopes up :) I KNOW it will happen... I just need to be patient. ****

 

Good morning lovelies :) I hope you all had a great weekend!! :)

You are all so sweet and made my day this morning when I saw you were stalking the November Testers thread to see my results! I have a lot to vent about/share, so I wanted to put it in it's own thread. I DID change my test day on Friday because FF changed my expected AF from 11/3 to 11/5 so that's why that changed ;) haha

 

Ok.... here it goes. So yesterday morning, I figured I would take a PT. My temps were still WAY over my cover line (coverline is 97.13, and my temp on Sunday morning was 97.82. So I figured I would test. I took a first response with the two lines... and there was BARELY BARELY BARELY a second line, but it was there!! POSITIVE!! I started crying and I was on FaceTime with DH (he is hunting and out of state)... but he couldn't see the second line. SO I quick went to the store... got another test and took it (BAD Kristen... I know you're supposed to wait 4 hours but I didn't) and it was negative :( UGH SO I let myself be a little happy... but not too much because I wasn't sure which one was right.

About two hours after that happened, I went to the bathroom and I had a little blood. It was brown/dark brown and I wasn't cramping... but I just started crying and thought it was my period. So.... I tried to relax all day yesterday but I still had some brown blood discharge with only a little red every now and then, and told myself "your period is due tomorrow 11/5 and if your temp is still up and you still haven't gotten a full blown period, take another test.

 

I wake up this morning, my temp is still 97.85 so that got me excited!! I took a PT... Negative. Again :( I've still had some brown bleeding and just a cramp every few hours (nothing period like).... but I'm thinking it's going to be my period. :( I'm trying to not get my hopes up. BUT - I've never had a period like this before.

A) My temps are WAY WAY UP, way above the coverline..... and normally the day before/of my period it plummets
B) I only spot for ONE day and then get full on bleeding/cramping... very heavy and my cramping is all day. I had spotting and slight cramps yesterday... and again today. My cramps are nothing period like... and they come and go randomly. It's odd that this is the second day in a row of "spotting"... but it is only on my TP when I wipe.. not anything close to being on my underwear or needing a tampon for.

 

SOOO - that is my super long update. I was pretty much crying all day yesterday but I have to keep it together today at work. Right now.. I'm thinking BFN... but I'll have to see what the rest of today/tomorrow bring. <3 you all!

FX that you are just implanting late!! *HUGS* honey - I know waiting is just horrible =(

Oh Kristen!  I have had that with the barely positive/negative thing and it sucks.  My heart goes out to you.  Hopefully your hcg levels are just still low but on their way up and you'll have a true BFP in a day or two!  FX for you!

@Claire & Murph - thank you both :) I'm hoping it's some time of implanting that is taking it's time..... but if it is a BFN then that's the way it goes and we will just keep trying :)

@Murph - me too hon :) It's just messing me up that my temps are still sky high above the coverline and a full period hasn't started. I'm not getting my hopes up tho.

aww, Kristen! I can only imagine how this makes you feel, especially with Tate being out of town. FX for you! *hugs*

Kristin---this has got to be so stressful for you, but I have my fingers and toes crossed!  The fact that your temps are still really high is a really good sign.

How many DPO are you exactly?  I got a BFN at first, and I didn't get a BFP until 13 DPO (and it was barely there positive).  A friend of mine didn't get hers until 15 DPO.  Make sure you are using FRER, even though they are pricey, it's the most accurate IMO.

Good luck to you and please keep us updated.  Although I know you will!

thanks ladies!! :) I'm trying to stay positive... that is my DH encouraging me that I"m not a mess :)

@kblove - I'm 13 DPO right now... did your friend have some spotting and slight cramps on and off?? I wish this wasn't so confusing :S

11/05/2012 at 02:37 pm

Looking like 95% BFN... my blood is getting more heavy and more red now then brown... will know for sure tomorrow morning :(

11/05/2012 at 02:52 pm

I'm so sorry, K :-(  I have been keeping fingers, toes and everything else crossed extra tight for you. Sending you big, huge hugs <3
