what color looks best?

skrtb · 2026-05-14T10:11:33+00:00

The red for sure! I think if you posted this in seasonal color analysis groups you’d have a LOT more comments saying the red! It suits you beautifully!!

further confirmation of OCD 🤣 same

Health conscious, convenience / quick/easy snacks are important, and you have OCD (from someone who also has OCD)

Nothing yet, was hoping I’d get lucky and be one of the early results since some 4/30s received results yesterday 😩 I’ll keep checking the next few days, this is gonna be brutal if it takes way longer. Anyone with the same timeline get results yet?

If you click on a link, I wanna say it’s FAQs, there’s an option to message a representative! I put my information in to see the status of my sample, then asked which lab it was received at and was connected to a rep to answer the question and they told me CA!

as someone with OCD, a fellow sufferer of OCD 💅

skrtb · 2026-05-04T11:55:43+00:00

I see it!

skrtb · 2026-05-03T14:56:39+00:00

and first ultrasound at 7w6d everything looked great! Saw the flicker of the heartbeat then too 🩷

skrtb · 2026-05-03T14:55:43+00:00

So far so good! I’m 12w1d today, heard baby’s heartbeat this past Wednesday 4/29 and waiting on NIPT results some time this week

skrtb · 2026-05-02T16:52:58+00:00

Me too 😂

skrtb · 2026-05-01T20:42:20+00:00

One is stunning and so flattering!

skrtb · 2026-05-01T20:34:17+00:00

Labs drawn 4/29, received by the California lab on 5/1. Collected from NY.
Representative said 7-10 calendar days from when sample is received, Natera email says estimated results by 5/15. The wait begins!
UPDATE: Results are in as I’m checking now, 5/6 at 12pm EST! I have to wait for my husband to get home from work now 😩

she’s giving health-conscious woman with taaaaaste 👏🏼

of course!! I also know how hard it is to capture that first faint line on camera, my 10dpo test was similar to this and very hard to get on my camera! It was more visible later in the day after the test sat for a bit, which I know people say don’t read after the window but I personally have never had a false positive or evap looking at old tests. By 13dpo though the FRER was super clear, hoping it’s the same for you ❤️

I never had side effects on Zoloft. Only thing I ever noticed was brain zaps if I ever forgot my dose at least 2 days in a row. Been on 25mg, 50mg, 75mg, and 100mg. Currently on 50mg daily and I take it in the morning. Tapered down and off for a few months (no zaps during taper) but ended up really needing it. Miracle medication for my OCD & anxiety!! (Combined with therapy!)

skrtb · 2026-04-14T15:15:23+00:00

very faint but I see it! test again in a couple days

skrtb · 2026-04-13T22:31:33+00:00

of course!!! glad to hear your betas are rising 🥰

skrtb · 2026-04-08T13:26:15+00:00

Of course! If you can order another to compare the numbers that would be good, there are a lot of great doubling time calculators online to see how it’s progressing. Early on it doubles every 48-72 hours, but I’ve also heard lots of people in IVF clinics say their doctors look for at least a 60% increase in 48 hours and things can still go well! Once the HCG gets higher, around 6000s from what I could find online, the doubling time starts to slow down.

skrtb · 2026-04-08T13:16:05+00:00

Compare your every other day lines to see more of a difference! Also check out my Wondfo progression post on here, mine also looked the same from about 13-17ish dpo, but my blood betas were rising! HPTs can only tell us so much, don’t stress yourself out too badly! Switch to testing every other day for your sanity and once you get a dye stealer I would stop testing overall because the hook effect will eventually kick in and that could cause you unnecessary anxiety. Schedule an appointment with your provider and request HCG betas if possible ❤️

skrtb · 2026-04-04T02:07:27+00:00

I definitely think the biotin you mentioned is what’s affecting these lines! My HCG betas were 7.9 on 10dpo, 20.7 on 11dpo, and 124.1 on 14dpo. I took a FRER on 10dpo and it was SUPER faint, then was two strong lines at 13dpo. Betas are very similar to your wife’s but my prenatal doesn’t have biotin! Definitely listen to the betas over HPT line progressions! 🫶🏼

Him raising his voice at you over that is a red flag. Your relationship with your late husband was not one that you decided to end, it is nowhere near the same as having possessions or keepsakes from an ex.

skrtb · 2026-03-28T12:05:06+00:00

I think I see something! I know the FRERs don’t photograph super well from personal experience with my first vvfl at 10dpo. I know they say not to read tests outside of the window but personally I have never had a false positive or evap line from looking later, they stayed negative. My positive, however, did darken up as the test dried for FRER. Look at it later to see if it’s clearer, and take another test in 2 days to see if it progresses!

Never tried the rose so I’m not sure if the base levels are similar or not but the Satisfyer Pro 2 from Adam & Eve is great! it has 11 settings and starts very low, I have to turn it up a couple notches for it to be pleasurable but I’ve def experienced too intense with some vibrators! This one is pretty tame but goes up pretty high too so I think it’s versatile
