I am 13 DPO.... SORE boobs and sensitive. Pink streaking in CM after BD on Sept. 20 and 22nd. Nothing more than that... Gums are super sensitive on and off. Did I have implantation bleeding those two days...Or did we rattle AF? I am due for her today but nothing.... BFN yesterday... when should I test again? I have one test left and I am dying to take it now. How long after imp. bleeding do HCG levels really get going?

Hi kristen, I know exactly what you are going through. My husband and I started ttc when I was 28 and I didn't give birth until I was 31. I have a beautiful dd. All the months of crying with AF were worth it, but it can be very upsetting to say the least. You both sound very much like my dh and I. I thought I would never give this advice, but here goes: Go on vacation! Not necessarily because all the old grandmas, who are telling you that STRESS is the cause, are right, but because you will actually have time together to DO IT! Try to plan it around the week of O'ing if you can. I know that as "over-achievers" our time together was not always ideal, but when we were away together we had lots of time for me to check my CM and use it. It worked for me the first time and now I am almost a week late after going on vacation this month.....crossing my fingers! I wish you all the luck in the world! By the way, dr said we had "unexplained infertility". Wouldn't hurt to check things out if a year goes by....sorry that sounds so long......sharon:)

I have a question. Someone mentioned earlier that you can take apart a pg test and look for a line. This morning I took a pg test (one of those you can buy online and 4 days before AF is due) It appeared to be neg. but when I took the plastic casing off there was a faint but clear pink line just to the right of where the test line should have been, almost like if the window had been bigger I would have seen a positive result. Has this happened to anyone else? Can you really look inside to see if there is a positive line? I'm totally neurotic about this whole thing so will probably test again tomorrow morning, but am dying to know if this has happened to anyone else.

Thanks!

Trust me. I really know what you are all going through. It's really hard to stay away from those PG tests. AF is due on Sunday and I've only got 4 days left to go!! and I'm still going insane. There's not much we can do untill our AF due dates except to try and keep ourselves busy. I hope you all keep me posted on your results, Baby Dust to all of you!!

It looks like I might be out this month. When I woke this morning I had a really low temp (97.5). I havent been keeping track all that well so I decided to check the ol' cervix this morning as well and it is riding pretty darn low. From what I hear, it should stay high. I was due for AF yesterday and so far nothing. I have had a really bad month at work (I work at the Outback) and that probably contributed to not getting pregnant. I have decided not to test until next Tuesday if AF doesnt arrive. Lastnight though, I went to the bathroom at work (I wore a pantyliner just in case of her arrival) and found a bit of what I would call VERY light brown, almost tan CM. Who knows what that is. Thanks for listening to me babble on. I will be looking for all of your BFP posts though!!!

Well, no sooner did I post that the ol b***h arrived. Good luck to you all. I am going to stop hanging around for awhile so that I can stop obsessing.

Thanks so much for the ideas and encouragement, Sharon. Maybe our trip to Hawaii in December will do the trick. I really hope it worked for you this time!! Congratulations and good luck.

:) i got them off ebay...i think i spend $15 for 20 or so sticks. I just know that i have about 12 of them left. it's sure is cheaper than those store bought tests! and less waste. i'm small chested (size A cup) so any minor change and dh notices! he did tell me my boobs are huge these last couple of days. It could be that my hormornes are jsut kicking in for AF? who knows...guess we'll wait and see if af comes this weekend.
