Personally, I know there's no way in heck I could hide it if I was with all of my closest friends and family!![]()
Now if you and your DH want to know ASAP, and don't mind if the beans get accidentally spilled very early in your pregnancy, then by all means test away!The other thing to think about is the reality of getting a BFN at 10 dpo, ovulating late w/all of the stress, etc...
With what little I know of you, I am guessing this just wouldn't work, but have you thought about leaving the more analytical side of ttc at home for this first month and just trying to enjoy the trip? You're going to have SO much going on, and you definitely know you're ovulating regularly. Anyhow, just a suggestion!![]()

I'm here, I'm here!Wish I could be of service...but everything I know about REs/IVF is what I read in blogs....which is probably still way more than the average person. I read a lot of blogs.

Hi!I was totally thinking of you & your impressive list of questions for your OB & wishing I was that prepared! You're the research queen!
I like tammy's suggestion of trying to keep it low key the first month, but that might not be possible.Also, she made a good point that stress might delay things. Would it ruin your honeymoon if you tested negative?

tammy77|1317338206|3029147 said:So I know this is going to sound crazy, but I am going to post it anyhow. I'm currently on BCP. I was late taking one, but not by a full 24 hrs (so we didn't use backup bc, because the leaflet says it's okay to just take it asap unless you miss two).
Anyhow, that was about umm, 4-5 days ago. Fast forward to today. I had about 5 minutes of the WORST pain in my lower left abdomen, parallel to my hip bone. A little "did I just ovulate?!" thought popped into my mind. Fast forward a couple of hours later and I have some brown CM. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, at least I hope so because we're not slated to start TTC until spring!![]()
Any thoughts? I actually have a (gag gift) opk that I am strongly considering taking, just to see what it says. Yipes.
BTW this thread is too quiet now that so many have recently gotten bfp's and moved on!

It's a dollar store New Choice cheapy, and I had held my pee for like 15 minutes at most...but it looks like I should be okay. If anything there's a shadow of a 2nd line on the opk, at best. So hopefully that means all is well. I have never had a surprise and have missed only one pill, doubling up the second day, more times than I care to count over the years. It just threw me with the spotting and cramps!![]()

PPM, thinking of you. It’s got to be so hard to have pregnancies and babies all around you after your recent loss. I’m hoping ovulation is just a bit delayed for you and you can try again this month. I know you have a plan in mind for what time of year you want a baby, but if you are really ready to have a baby, have you considered relaxing your timeframe a bit? As you unfortunately had to experience last cycle, we don’t have as much control over the timing of a pregnancy as we would like. If you had to take a bit of maternity leave in the fall, it truly wouldn’t be the end of the word. Just my two cents.
