Where's that green SMILEY??? - Infertility Message Board

More2Love · 09-09-2003, 07:09 AM

Well girls, it's been a week since I ovulated and day by day it's feeling more like I conceived. The last two days I've been feeling greener than the peas growing in my garden.

The B's are getting very heavy, I'm dizzy & tired, and food looks horrible (smells it too). Normally, I also have mild cramping from O time right up until AF arrives and as of O time last week (and insem) I've had no cramps at all.

With my last successful P I was experiencing symptoms like this @ 6 days, so I am hoping and praying. Yesterday I had to drag myself away from the HPT section of the pharmacy.....THREE TIMES.

If these symptoms keep up, how long should I hold off til I do a test? AF is due no later than the 17th.
How soon can one do an HPT BEFORE AF arrives? I'm thinking Friday???

HELP!!! lol

Good luck! Most tests show the accuracy rates for various days before and after AF is expected. There's quite a bit of difference, but I think the most sensitive ones give accuracy rates for up to 4 days before AF. I guess it depends on how much you can tolerate what could be a false negative if you test too early. Hang in there during the wait! I know it's not easy. I hope you get a BFP!!

Thank you to all you wonderful ladies out there, I'm hoping and praying for a whole BUNCH of us to get some BFP's!!! Another day another shade of green. Another aggravating week to wait to whip out that HPT I have hiding in my closet. hehehe dh doesn't know or he'd be urging me to give it a try. Wow, this is all bringing back memories, especially when I've discovered I'm analyzing the tp everytime I go to the bathroom

Does anyone have an idea of approx. when the implantation bleed occurs? My foggy brain thinks around 10 days dpo???

In all seriousness girls, I'm thinking positive but there is this inevitable little part of me that keeps dragging me back down to earth...we all know the questions that plague us during this nerve-wracking time...What if I'm not? How will I cope? Honestly? Right now I don't know. I'm not so sure I even want to think about it but so far I think if that is the case I am going to head for the beach and take a long walk and think of all the things I can be thankful for.

Right now I am thankful beyond words for your encouragement and support through this. Though I yearn to hold a tiny finger I will remember that God's hands are huge and are already holding me, regardless.

Luv to all and BFP's to all those yearning hearts out there!!!
