BBT fall --> BFP... any hope?

[SCgirl]

Just looking to see if there's any hope ('cause I'm lacking in that dept)- I know the bad stories- I've got two so far.

I'm not exact with temping, but my charts have been quite accurate as far as O date and when I can expect AF (always the day of a fall- which would have been yesterday for me).

However- when I went most of the day yesterday without AF, I took a frer- and *thought* I saw a very faint line. Almost immediately, I started spotting red-orange and pink (only when wiping).

This morning there was no blood- but I had an even bigger dip. Took another frer- and couldn't tell if I had line eye or something was there. So- expected AF to begin at any time. In the middle of the day I got some dark brown spotting (again, only when wiping)- but that's cleared up too. After a few more hours with no sign of AF, I took another FRER- and there's a definite faint pink second line- a bit darker than yesterday's...

So- I'm still expecting another chemical pregnancy. I've had my progesterone levels checked recently (end of december when I had my 2nd bfp), and they were fine...

What I'm wondering, is if anyone has had a similar experience and gone on to have a successful pregnancy... this is my 3rd BFP in 3 cycles, and I've lost the initial excitement of having a BFP to start with.

People say to stop temping when you get the BFP, but with my last two, it kind of helped me know ahead of time where they were heading!

What makes you think its a chemical? You could have implanted later then you think and thats why the tests are faint.. Do you have pictures of the tests? Also the fact that they got darker is a good sign

I read your post a few times just to make sure i'm understanding it all correctly. Did you get a definitive positive on a HPT? Or are you still at the point where you think you might be seeing a line but still not sure.

With this pregnancy I tested at 11dpo and saw a REAL tiny squinter....tested later that afternoon and the line was definitely more pronounced. Tested the next day with a digi, got a not pregnant but a regular one showed a darker line. Waited about two more days, turned a digi positive and then a few days after that, got a blood test for 760hcg levels.

I know it's hard but I think the best thing to do would be to wait a few more days and test again. If the line doesn't show definitively then I'm thinking it probably wasn't a positive. But fingers crossed for you that it DOES get darker!!! Any chance you could get a blood draw to see what your hcg level is? Only reason I say that is because I'd hate for you to think you're going through another chemical if you indeed are not. I've had a miscarriage before at 6 weeks so I know what that feels like and have also had one chemical.

Ok, so it's verrry hard to see in the pic (always darker in person!)- the top test is yesterday's, where I thought I saw a line, but wasn't sure. The bottom is today's, where I'm sure there's a faint line. Getting slightly darker seems like a good thing, but I'm not convinced yet since they're still so faint... (I think I may have O'd a day or two later than my chart says)

For this post, the decrease in BBT along with spotting i've been having since 2/16 has me worried... (I started bleeding heavily my last two pregnancies on the day of the temp drop)- I was wondering if anyone had pregnancies continue after a huge drop... Also, my coverline this month was already much lower than it was the last 2 cycles... I would have been totally expecting AF if the spotting got heavy within an hour or two yesterday (which usually happens)- instead, my hpts got slightly darker, and the spotting went away- which has me confused!

I know I'll know more in the next day or two, but time seems to be moving so slowly!

ah okay, yes....it took me a minute to adjust my eyes and screen but yeah, I see two faint lines....that's what mine looked like at 11dpo. I had to go look at my chart from last month when I got my bfp....

I had a dip at 14dpo, one day after AF was due. I had already gotten my BFP so I didn't continue to faithfully temp after that day, two days after that my temp was way high....haven't temped since due to seeing so many posts of people freaking out over temp variations after getting positive blood tests, etc. Just figured I'd save myself the drama.

I KNOW how hard it is to wait those one or two extra days, but try your hardest. I've read on here many times of women who have had spotting, bleeding, etc and have continued on to have healthy babies. Unfortunately so much of this is taking it one day at a time and waiting and seeing. I was so nervous to reach my "mile marker" of today....today marks the longest I've ever been pregnant and I have my first ultrasound tomorrow morning. Praying with all of my might that I see a heartbeat tomorrow!!!

Keeping fingers crossed for you and tell us how it goes!!!

I guess deep down I knew it- still a faint bfp this morning, but AF caught me.

So sorry how long is your LP? If it's a shorter one have you tried doing b6 to lengthen it?

This was actually the shortest I've had! Not sure what's up- usually it's ~14-15 days, with the exception of BFP cycles...
