Expecting our little girl after three m/c - EDD 11/29/12
I'll test sometime this week, I'm trying to hold out. I'm on cycle day 21. I THINK i'm 8 days post ovulation, but I might be way off. We're not tracking so I don't know. Last month's AF was horrible. I hope it's not bad this month if AF comes.
Even just thinking about what day I'm on makes me want to pee on a stick. I had to put the tests in the kitchen, the opposite end of the house from the bathroom, to stop myself. DH gets frustrated if I test too much, he says it's a waste of money. But the FRER are only $2 a piece here, so it's not that big of a waste. (The 2 pack is $8, but they come with a bonus third test, and with the $2 off coupon that's only $6 for 3 tests.) I wonder how long I can hold it before I go to the bathroom. Last pregnancy I got a positive this early and it wasn't FMU. Wonder if I'll get that lucky again.

Brew, good luck with your progesterone check! Will they also test Hcg?
I'm trying to figure out what bloodwork to order in case I get a positive. (My OB office is stupid, I'll have to demand testing, they won't volunteer it.) When I mc'd, my progesterone was only 5. As soon as I get a HPT+ I will be begging for a progesterone check. But I'm thinking a 48 hour Hcg would be really helpful too.

Bankerswife GL on trying to hold out on testing. It's hard not to get that urge to POAS!
I will not have a progesterone check unless I get a +hpt, but yes, they will do hcg as well. I had both checked with this last pregnancy (my 3rd this year). I didn't have the check with the first 2, but both of them I lost very early (low progesterone??) With this last one my progesterone was okay with each check, but got lower each time (but still within range, just the low end). Then when I started spotting at 6 weeks it was even lower which is when I started the supplements. So, basically I have to test early (10 dpo-ish) every time now so if it is low I can catch it right away.
Your last AF was your first after your m/c right? Mine ended up being really bad as well, hopefully it will be better this time if she shows, but hopefully we won't have to worry about it!! I think if you're concerned with your progesterone you should definitely get it checked in the case of a +hpt. If definitely doesn't hurt anything!
Dina - how are you doing?? Do you think you'll do the 7 dpo bloodwork?
Angela - thank you :)

I wish I could hold out, I'd rather not test that early either anymore. However, that's not really an option anymore. Do you think you'll test early at all, or wait it out?

I gave in and tested. Negative. Lol, I know it's too early, but I couldn't resist. I have one more test, I'll probably skip tomorrow and use it Wednesday. Technically, AF isn't due until at least the 27th, but I'm optimistic :)

TMI warning...Not sure if it means anything but my CM has been a lot more creamy after O which I've read can be a good sign...or it could be nothing. Not trying to get my hopes up but I've never really noticed this before after O.
I'm thinking I'll probably test on Christmas if AF doesn't come, that will be 12 DPO. FX'd for everyone. How's everyone doing? Just wondering who else is still out there waiting?
