thinking about testing again...

hi! I have posted before, sorry for those of you who have read this a hundred times...

I went off bc patch on 5/7, got af on 5/10 and haven't had af since. I have no pain or signs of cysts that I know of but who knows. had a blood test on 7/5 got bfn, then last hpt I took on 7/16 got another bfn. I scheduled a dr appt for 8/9 which would be 3 months since lmp so I thought that would be a good time to go in if I don't get af by then. I know it can take that long to resume normal af after stopping bc

My friend gave me a couple hpt's so I have them here... they are begging to be used LOL. I wanted to wait to test till my dr appt because I don't want to see another bfn. But it's so tempting

so.......... to test or not to test?

hi Robin! I have 2 tests my friend gave me yesterday, she had a baby #3 a few months ago - home birth baby weighed 8lbs 14oz, can you believe that?!?! ok maybe you've twisted my arm into taking one of these in the morning. I think they are First Response

dr appt is set for 8/9 in the afternoon. last time they did my blood test they didn't call me back same day so I was thinking of taking one of the hpt's that morning

how about you, are you in 2ww?

thanks for replying!!

Haha...yeah, how can you not test when you've got some there, right? :) Well, I hope you get both a BFP on your HPT and good news when you go to the dr.


And I guess, technically, I'm in the 2ww, but we're not really trying. We decided to wait, hopefully this fall time, to start ttc. So, I'm refusing to drive myself insane and even think about being pg. We've been careful. Well, as careful as pulling out can be! ;) I just can't wait until I'm really ttc and will be in a real 2ww. I'm 3DPO right now... again, really not thinking I'm pg, and am trying desperately not to think I am. Hahaha... wish me luck! ;) Keep me posted on how your testing and dr. appt goes too...


Lots and lots of ~~~~baby dust~~~~ to you!

ok I think I'll use one in the morning! the thing is... we bd'd on 7/27 (Thurs), then 2 days later on Sat I noticed what looked like ewcm (good timing!) - so if by some chance I o'd over the weekend (who knows if I'm even o'ing though) then there's a chance I could possibly have conceived, and by the time of my dr appt I would think I could get an accurate result. obviously now is too early. maybe I'll take one in the morning and if bfn then the other one the morning of my appt.

I think it's smart to plan ahead like you're doing. also good you're not on bc so you don't have to deal with this mess I'm going through, you should be all systems GO when the time is right for you!

I'm glad you're the new cl!!

THANKS for the baby dust, I appreciate it!!!

hi! ok well I'm not really surprised but I got a bfn this morning. I have one more hpt left, I'll take it next week Wed morning 8/9 before I go to the dr. Wish me luck... bfp or af, whichever comes first... hopefully bfp though. I think the dr is just going to tell me to wait it out, I hope not... it's been almost 3 months since af and I don't have any idea what my body's doing!

thanks for letting me share with you

Hi Alice,


Just checking in, how are you doing? So, another bfn, huh? Ugh! I'm sorry. I feel so bad, that must be so frustrating to not have AF and still keep getting bfn. Well, good luck this week at the doctors and keep us posted on how you're doing.


Even though we're not really ttc yet, I can't seem to help feeling like, well maaaaybe this could be my month. I'll just have to wait. I'm about 7DPO, so if AF no shows in another week... you can be sure I'll be testing!


~Robin :)


P.S....it's fun so far being the CL, hope I do a good job!! :)

hi Robin! thanks for the reply, it definitely helps!!! yup still no af and bfn. I think it's just taking me forever to get used to being off bc, but I'm anxious for my dr appt to ease my mind. I would think if I had cysts I would be feeling some discomfort or something by now but I really don't feel anything abnormal. I guess my fear about my dr appt is she's just going to tell me to keep waiting, and I don't want to hear that, I just want an answer WHEN IS AF COMING or... and am I DEFINITELY NOT pg?

Last bd was 7/27 so I think if I get a blood test on 8/9 it should be accurate right? I hope so

You'll have to keep us posted on your progress too... I hope you have an "oops" it sounds like that's what your heart wants, and your dh of course would be thrilled too... but if it doesn't happen till you really start trying then that will be great too. You are a wonderful cl! I like how you are always positive and that you care to check in, it means a lot and really makes going through this easier for me and I'm sure everyone would agree

hi! well today is my dr appt. I didn't have the guts to take my last hpt this morning, I just did not want to see a bfn first thing this morning. I hope the dr gives me hpt and a blood test, and checks for cysts. If anyone has advice of questions I should ask please let me know.

last bd was 7/27, I should have accurate results today right?

lmp was 5/10 when I went off bc, last hpt was 8/2 bfn... UGGGH

PLEASE send me some baby dust!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
