Fx Angel and Mrs unicorn

Twins run in both sides of both our families, but I'm hoping it just means double the chance not necessarily double the babies!!

It's weird Broody that you got your peak readings AFTER your temp rise... I thought it was always supposed to come before?

 

[broodymrs]

Yeah I really don't get it abe. I'm taking that o day with a pinch of salt.

 

[Angel5000]

Sometimes I've got the peak on the day after O because I didn't catch the surge early enough in the day and I O'd shortly after surge so I ended up with the Peak on the day of the temp shift. It has only happened to me once before though. It's very odd.

 

[Angel5000]

Ladies. . . .

I just tested because I have been nauseous all day, ad really really really warm (temp is over 98.5 which is very high for me).

There is the faintest line on my Wondfo.

I didn't believe it.

So I went to my sisters house. She sees it.

then I showed DH. He says he definitely sees it. But it's very light.

I sent DH to store to get me a FRER. I made the mistake of just saying get the one that says "6 days before missed period". Of course he came back with FRER Gold.... which is the digi version. I don't know if I want to use that this early. I'm afraid the digi won't be as sensitive.

.... my sister and DH both warned me that we've seen this faint line two previous times (my previous 2 CPs) and tried to tell me not to get overly excited.

Now I'm just.....

I am seeing our RE tomorrow to talk about our test results. Do I mention to him that I think I have a positive test and try to convince them to do blood test? Or do I just wait and see what happens ?

 

[abennion]

Go for a blood test. That way you can put your worries to rest.

And pics!!! We wanna see that test!

 

[Angel5000]

I don't know if you can see it on this. I can see it better in person but the pic just doesn't grab it as well

 

[abennion]

I see it! You're right, super faint, but it's there!

 

[Angel5000]

Oh. My. God.

 

[abennion]

Yay! Happy and healthy 9 months to you dear! Let's hope it's a sticky one! Don't be too shocked about the faint line, 10DPO is typically too early for a strong line.

 

[mrs unicorn]

Angel - waaaaaaaa amazing!!! Congratulations love! So happy for you! Yeah don't be freaked by the faint IC, don't think they get dark till much later on! How you feeling?

 

[Whimsical88]

angel Congrats..... so happy for you. you deserve this. hope everything goes supper well for you. fx and sending good vibes your way.
dont worry for the faint line, its still early. do the bloods, that very clear and next week you can test everyday just to get a dark and full line and marvel at that positive.

 

[broodymrs]

Wow congrats Angel!!

 

[Angel5000]

Thank you!

But now I'm freaking out.

I did another digi this morning. Because.... Obsessive much? Lol. It said No.

But I did a dollar tree and Wondfo at the same time and they have lines.

Dh thinks I drank too much water before bed (I had like 40 oz - the prednisone gives me dry mouth) and I woke up needing to go really really bad. Yesterday's digi that said yes was after a 4 hour no water no liquid hold where I didn't even have to pee and had to force it (very concentrated). So maybe I'm just on the cusp of enough hormone?!?

That can't be a false yes can it?!? There's no such thing is there?!?

My temp is still high today. And I think today's lines are def more clear than yesterday's. Still faint but there I'm sure. Ps: dollar tree line is so much better than the Wondfo right now!

I'm freaked out. Dh actually told me to take another digi to work and do it y lunch. umm no.

But I think I will call dr at lunch and tell them I got a BFP and ask for a blood test at our appointment today. I'm just so worried. I don't want to lose another one.

What do you guys think?? Can you see the lines on these tests??

Any reassurance? So scared!

 

[abennion]

It may just be that your urine was too diluted. I definitely see the line on both without even having to zoom in on my phone. Congrats Angel!

 

[Angel5000]

I did the ultimate "no no" and broke open the digi gold Bc a lot of reviews say the reader is faulty. Under the digital reader is the line part and it had two very distinct pink lines. I'm a little less panicky now. Going to pick up some regular FRERs today after my dr appointment anyway.

Yes I'm paranoid. But after 2 CPs I will be paranoid for awhile I think

 

[broodymrs]

those lines look good. I know it's worrying but try not to stress

 

[Angel5000]

Just got back from the doctor. What a whirlwind of a day!!

They took beta tests and progesterone. Will get those results tomorrow between 12-3pm.

Doctor went over our results from our tests. DH has good sperm speed and amount, there is a slightly higher "head abnormality" than he would like (they prefer it below 35% and his is at 40%), but everything else was really good. For future situations they might want to do a "sperm wash".

On my end most of my results came back pretty good except my progesterone. He said it was really low to begin with, and my 7DPO test was way lower than they would like. He said that it is probably the reason I've had 2 CPs and that we have a very short time to get my progesterone up above 15 (right now it's right around 5). I'm on progesterone pills 3x a day and in a couple days they'll do another test. IF however the blood they took today comes back below 5 then I will have to go back in immediately and switch to shots. As it was he stressed very heavily that I had tos tart the progesterone right now, not tomorrow, not later, but RIGHT NOW. They told me to call the pharmacy as soon as I left and make sure they got the prescription and started it ASAP and that I filled it TONIGHT. So I did.

They are also concerned that my lining didn't get as thick as they would have liked. He said it slightly increases the chance of losing this pregnancy, but only minutely and he's really hoping the progesterone is able to keep it.

Regarding our MTHFR results: he strongly encouraged both of us to get our homeocystine levels checked by our PCP and I need to increase my folic acid intake to >1g.

I came home and took a FRER. It's a clear, distinct line. I also took a walmart cheapie, also a clear distinct line. the Wondfo's are still such bad squinters I almost can't see them.

..... I'm pregnant.

Please keep everything crossed that this one sticks!!!

 

[broodymrs]

Everything crossed. It sounds very much like our situation except your dr is more helpful!

 

[Sheece]

How embarrassing, i thought i replied in here but i somehow posted in another tgread! Glad i came back in and realised

Angel im so, so happy for you!! I have everything crossed that this is a sticky one for you xx

Im glad they are on top of the progesterone issue too!

Afm - im pretty sure i ovulated yestersay, which would be cd14. It seems to be very very similar to last cycle, including not having much cm, so im hoping thats a good sign! Just need it to be sticky this time ! Very happy everything seems to have gotten back on track so quickly at least!
