Hello again everyone! Hope all of you had a great holiday, (besides the family bringin up embarassing stories from your childhood, or arguing over what your child will look like, or just wanting to kill one another!!) :) But, alas, like the title says, it's time to get back on track with my obsessing. ;)
Today is day 8 without Ms AF.........not that I'm complaining, but I took an HPT on late day 3 with FMU and got a just-so-wonderful BFN. Needless to say, I'm still obsessing on whether or not to test again, or to wait a lil while longer. I don't want to test again, because my common sense tells me I'm most likely not, and that this gamit of symptoms that I'm having are all because I want a baby so bad!! GGRR lol I haven't lost hope, but I'm not just gonna hand them away to Mr. Disappointment on a silver platter, ya know? **sighs** I'm runnin out of ideas lol, and I'm just frustrated and unsure of the next step. I know I should get a blood test, but I have to wait another 2 months to get my insurance.........so, I guess I'm just graspin at straws, and hoping to pick some of your brains for ideas :)
Let me know what you think, and let me know that obsessing is really in the air, and that I'm not the only koo-koo one ;) hehe

Hi I just read your post and i'm also late.
Hi tays :) It's always nice to know that you're not alone, but at the same time these aren't really the best circumstances to be in groups, ya know? ;) I also don't wanna give my hopes up.........I've waited for this moment for ssoo long, and the thought of it actually happening makes me ssoo impatient! lol I've had these sniffles for 2 weeks now, and they won't go away, I have the mild lower abdomen crampy feelings off and on, etc etc etc...........I'm either crazy, or I'm actually pg this time. lol Most likely I'm just crazy ;) hehe
How late are you, may I ask? I've read a few posts on other websites that say it's best to be between 1 and 2 weeks late to get an accurate HPT. Anyone else hear this? If that's true, then I still have a very small, but still distinct, opportunity........**toes r crossed** Thanx for lettin me know there are others out there just waiting for something to happen! ;)

I'm 8 days late...I think.
I understand all about coming off the pill............2 years ago, my XDH (lol new abbreviation ;) ) and I decided to try to conceive, and coming off the pill can be torture sometimes! It does tend to mess up your cycle quite a bit (I know it did mine). It took me 3 months to get back on track, and for my body to completely adjust. I know 3months sounds like forever, but it's better than those rare cases where it completely messes up your hormone regulations (i've read some horror stories on the net!).........
I was married for just shy of 4 years the first time around, and I've been with current SO for 9 months now. I tried for 2 years with XDH, even went on Clomid, the whole nine yards (I have PCOS, and I have NEVER had regular cycles, until about a year ago). SO and I are trying, but not TRYING. Meaning, we haven't reached the point where we're going to see a doctor yet, considering I have had regular cycles for quite some time now, so we're just waiting to see if nature knows what she's doing ;) So I suppose you could say I've been trying for the past 3 years almost to conceive. (I'm also hopin for the blue team!!)
I haven't retested yet........I was going to yesterday, but then all of a sudden my nausea turned ugly, and well, I've been sick off and on since yesterday. It's NOT fun! I've got my fingers crossed it's what I hope it is, and thanx ssoo much for the baby dust ;) I'm sending extra ur way too :) I'm still holding out on hope, only because I've known of women who didn't get a BFP until 3 weeks after missing their AF........might have been due to late O :) Hope things are well with you and yours, and keep me posted.

Good morning.
As far as my nausea goes, I've been this way for a week and a half, but yesterday was the first time I actually "got sick" because of it. Just once, and then it was over. The nausea came and went throughout the rest of the day, but I didn't get sick again. **shruggs shoulders** It's ssoo weird, and I thought it was the flu. But then again, I know how I am when I get the flu and how my body reacts, and well, this time wasn't one of em so I'm left scratching my head. I took a CVS brand this morning, and after about 8 minutes I got what I'm guessing is an evap line........but I thought they only appeared after the ten minute mark?? I have NO clue!? It's very light, but I noticed it. Any idea about the evap lines and the time frame?? If it isn't an evap line though, wouldn't it be darker considering I'm 10 days late today???
Thanx for the suggestions, and any help you can offer :)
Baby Dust, and BFP dust to everyone hoping for a lil somethin extra this holiday season ;)

All I want for Christmas is a BFP...A BFP...A BFP...All I want for Christmas is a BFP...
Ok I've lost my mind LOL.
lol..........I think I'll be singin that christmas carol instead! ;) hehe You ran into the same thing too, huh? Within the same time frame you mean? It was before the time frame ended, but at the same time I'm not betting all my chips on the result either. I'll just try to wait it out for a few days I suppose, that way, if it is positive, it'll REALLY show positive! lol **fingers crossed**
I understand what you mean about not knowing if IVF cycles are right for you. My SO has said to me that we'll do whatever it takes, "even if it means putting everything in where it's suppose to be" lol...........his words, not mine! haha I thought it was pretty cute though ;)
As far as calling your doctor, well, everyone's different when coming off BC.......did your doctor say anything to you at your last visit/when you discussed ttc?I would say give it a few more weeks (2 or so), and go from there really. I think that would be a good idea. Then, perhaps call your Dr's office, and tell them your concern. They might even give you over to a nurse over the phone, and maybe she could gauge if you should come in or not. I know my OB's nurse does that sometimes, when you have a ? if you should come in or not :) HTH
(Hot flash again!) sorry, just had to open a window. I get hot a lot easier lately, like the past few days. It's just an instant surge of heat.........it's quite annoying! lol But, it's not annoying if that is leading to my BFP! ;) lol I'll take it then!!!
I'm ALL to familiar with the over-thinking thing..........that's my middle name! :) I maul things over in my head so many times, that I think I'm beginning to drive myself nuts! Between these symptoms I'm having, (hot flashes, night sweats, nausea and vomiting, headaches, lower abdominal cramping, and NO AF lol), and my over-analysis of my tests, and well, I'm mental!! I'm just drivin myself crazy, especially when you read of women like me having all the same symptoms, and not getting a BFP until 8 or more weeks!! I'm still holding onto the hope (especially since I haven't experienced anything like this before).
As far as my XDH, yeah I've thought that many times myself actually, so you're not that far off base. I really believe that people are brought into your life for a reason, and one of his wasn't to father my children obviously. I'm hoping that perhaps my current SO can change all that ;) **fingers crossed** My SO, and my best friend claim that it'll happen for us.........it's just a matter of when. AS a matter of fact, I was talkin to my friend this morning, (about the poss evap line), and she said that within the next 5 years, I'll have more than one kid on my hip.........she claims it's just a feeling she has. We'll see. Although I'd wait a lifetime to see those two lines, I'd ADORE to get that for Christmas this year! :)
Keep me posted on your progress, and let me know if you have any other clues about that poss evap line for me :) GREATLY appreciated Michele :)

Hot flashes can signal low estrogen I spent a little time on webmd today!
Interesting theory about the hormone levels............I'll definetly have to do some more snooping around the net ;) Although, I'll probably just end up looking at other pics of tests online, and comparing mine with theirs further driving myself to the edge of insanity! lol The one thing that really makes me feel like I am is the "gettin sick" part! lol I can't tell you the last time I did that! I don't know, perhaps I'm just insane.........oh wait, we've already established that! lol
No clue about the temp affecting the test.........all I know is the thermostat got set a month ago (when it started gettin colder) and it hasn't been touched since........so, needless to say, this test was taken under the same conditions as all the rest of those darn BFN's were! :P on them! hehe ;)
As far as my nausea goes, it tends to come and go. Like, sometimes it'll come on, and then subside after eating, or after a lil bit of time goes by. But, like yesterday, I couldn't even hear the sound of SO making a bologna and cheese sandwich without running to the bathroom! No joke! lol I actually asked him to turn on the kitchen sink faucet so I couldn't hear him unwrapping the cheese I was so nauseated!!!! He obliged (isn't that cute? lol jk), and apologized. He actually asked me yesterday to go to the ER to find out why I'm so sick lately, and (after a battle of wits, which I won btw ;) ), he asked me if I ever thought I'm pregnant. I told him no (liar!!!), and he just looked at me, and said "alright, have it your way dear". lol So I don't know what to believe, these strange events..........(and what's with that tin-like taste in your mouth anyways? Doesn't taste all that great), or the BFN HPTs. It's a 50/50 shot I suppose as to which one's right.
I haven't changed laundry soap, dish soap, hand soap, or any cleaning products either. I haven't bought anything new for the house in about 2 months now, so nothing new has entered the house that I'm aware of. My diet's the same, etc, etc.
Hope you return soon from the dreaded laundry monster......I know mine's callin after me, but I'm tryin to take it a lil easier today after my battle with the evil Nausea monster.
