Okay so i have an update... kind of lol. Husband brought home pink box... but still Blue dye tests!!!!! I couldn't help it (but neither could he haha) and tested again. same result, just LOTS darker. I don't know whats up but i feel as though my head will pop off any second!!!-_-

 

[Ask4joy]

Can you post a pic Sam?

 

[SamRou]

the top is the most recent one from tonight. picture was taken within 4 minutes. Should i try putting water on them?

 

[Ask4joy]

The top is definitely darker! The water trick doesn’t work. I’ve tried it before. Best bet is to re-test with a first response tomorrow! Blue dye tests always give me a faint line but that top line is more prominent. Good luck!

 

[SamRou]

i will update in the morning! thank you ask4joy so much. you've kept me sane today!

Hope you're feeling alright and little peanut has sweet dreams!

 

[Ask4joy]

Thank you! Glad I could help! I know the feeling!

I don't know why my post-O temp is so low. I'm going to start progesterone supplementation tonight.

 

[Ask4joy]

Mine were like that too, TTC. The highest they’d get was 98 after 7-9 days, but not always. I tried progesterone suppositories and had another CP so I’m not sure if progesterone was the problem (no spotting and didn’t start bleeding until 3 days after stopping them). I’m on the highest dose of PIO with this pregnancy - standard protocol for my clinic.

 

[TTC74]

Mine are never particularly high either - just below 98 usually. This is just lower than usual.

UPDATE: I got a FRER test and im pretty sure it is negative... My heart hurts:'( but then this little voice in my head keeps telling me that it could have just been because i woke up dying of thirst and downed about 24 ounces of water first thing this morning... maybe its too diluted??? or i am grasping at straws...??? IDK...

I dont have many symptoms, but something keeps telling me i am pregnant. I just feel it more than anything in my life. I have been TTC for 2 years and i have never felt so strongly. And when my mom was pregnant with me she never got a positive result from a urine test. Only blood tests. But everytime i go to the doctor concerned about my firtility they just keep telling me i am young and that it will happen when it happens... Da*n-it!!! Ive been TRYING for TWO YEARS, very uncommon for someone so "YOUNG"!!!

Thanks for hanging in there with me today ladies...and for reading my rant. Lots of prayers (BFP's, and healthy pregnancies) to you all!

 

[Ask4joy]

I’m sorry Sam. Do you know how many dpo you are? Have you had any fertility testing done? 2 years is a long time. Personally I would switch doctors and schedule an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist. For women over 35, fertility testing and intervention is suggested after 6 months of trying. For women under 35 it’s 1 year.

 

[SamRou]

9 weeks since the first day of my last period, and 6 weeks 3 days since i ovulated. And yeah i should definitely change doctors... and i guess a little, they did an ultrasound to make sure that i am ovulating and that i dont have PCOS. Both came back good. Then they tested my hormones, and they came back great. Then they tested my thyroid and it came back fine...

 

[Rainshiny]

I’m sorry, Sam. They did some testing which is good. Maybe try a sono hyterogram or saline histogram or whatever it is? Test for any vitamin deficiencies? Then maybe ask for some clomid to see if it helps? Your husbands sperm was ok, I think, right? Although first you might go see them to figure out why you seem to have missed a period. I’m sorry it’s been such a long ride...hope you are right and you’re pregnant!

 

[Ask4joy]

And you aren’t having regular cycles - red flag! You may not be ovulating regularly. I hope you are able to find a helpful doctor! It might be as simple as trying clomid.

 

[SamRou]

my cycle has always been regular up until Nov. Never missed a period in my life. the latest i have ever been was by three days in may of 2017. Now i have entirely missed Nov, and am due again tomorrow for AF. If i don't start by Monday i will schedule an ultrasound and hopefully that will give me some answers.

As for ovulation, i know i ovulated Oct 30 because that is when they did the ultrasound when they were checking for PCOS and they confirmed that i was ovulating at that time and we were able to catch it in time. DH sperm is good. We had it tested as well. I am also dosing him up on vitamin 6 and no hottubs for him.

Am i being crazy for setting up an ultrasound?

 

[SamRou]

you ladies are so amazing, wish i would have found you all sooner and Rainy- i hope i am too! i just hate feeling like i am beyond cray cray! lol

 

[Ask4joy]

Sam - oops I’m sorry I didn’t realize you already had that testing done. That is good. And yes very odd that you are so late when you have never been late! I hope it means you are pregnant! Either way I think it’s good to figure out what next steps are. I tried 3 rounds of clomid per my OB’s suggestion even though I was ovulating regularly. When that didn’t work I had an HSG done. We ended up choosing to go the IVF route after 3 chemical pregnancies. Most likely it was an egg quality issue for me and IVF helped us find the good ones!

Update for me - hcg went from 76 to 250 in 49 hours! That’s a 28 hour doubling time! Woot-woot! First ultrasound is scheduled for January 2nd - we will see the heartbeat!

 

[SamRou]

Ask4joy- that is the single best thing i have heard all day! Congratulations! Are you hoping for a boy or a girl? (had to ask)

Just got off the phone with DH (Michael) and he says that he wants to go get the ultrasound ASAP. He is dead set that i am pregnant (because he is having more symptoms than me lol). His best friends mom works at the hospital so he is going to see if he can ask her to do a quick ultrasound this evening when he is home from work. i guess if she doesnt mind... it will erase all questions. What do you think?

 

[Ask4joy]

Thank you Sam! Actually we know it’s a girl! We tested our embryos to find the ones that had normal chromosomes and found out the sexes. We had 3 girls and 2 boys and transferred a girl first (DH has 2 teenage boys and I’ve always wanted a girl)! The other 4 are frozen.

I say definitely get the ultrasound - if you can, why not? Good luck and keep us posted!

 

[SamRou]

that is just beyond cool!!! If this isnt my BFP maybe ill just do what you did lol. I need a baby boy in my life
