I think I am out. I’m assuming all those faint lines were really indents on the FRER and CB tests.

 

[Brianna777]

I haven’t had a cycle for 2 months I don’t think I am ovulating after my surge

@mommabear6 welcome and congratulations!! I'm also pregnant with 6th (and final!)
I think it's often overwhelming at the beginning whether expected or not- I hope it passes and excitement kicks in!
How do you think everyone will react?
@NightFlower tests looking really really good. Especially today bottom wide one- super strong for 11dpo! Crossing fingers for stronger each day.

Thank you so much and congrats to you too. I think they will be in shocked at first but eventually will be supportive. I think is mostly me feeling this way and being so hard on myself. Since I am just overthinking and putting so much on head. I agree that I need to let the excitement kick in and get into it. Nice to meet you by the way how far along are you?

@ Brianna sorry but maybe your not out yet until you get AF right? Is it common for you to skip two cycles?

No, I’ve never not had a cycle and not been pregnant but I’m not sure as to how my body is reacting to the surgery I had for an etopic at the end of September.

@NightFlower amazing progression!! Fx’d for a super sticky bean
@cheerios yes all 4 with one tube my newest babe was actually from my tubeless side too. So he’s kind of my extra special guy, for many reasons, but that’s a big one! x

@NightFlower - Is the bottom test an OPK or HPT? Either way, even without the hold there’s still quite the visible line. Hoping and praying this is your sticky bean.

@Brianna777, I’m so sorry. It took me 8 months to conceive after my ectopic, but mine was medically managed with that cancer drug, Methotrexate. We couldn’t even try for 3 months after my ectopic. I’m sorry those tests gave you false hope.

Hpt and thanks everyone

i know it’s kind of a stupid question but if the line shows up after the 5 minutes with the cheapie hpt sticks does that mean positive or is it an evap line?

Hi!! Thanks for sharing! But how did you get pregnant from your tubeless side??? That sounds like a miracle of miracles to me!

 

[cheerios]

@Brianna777 I still see the lines!!! It's sooo hard to know what's going on though. Is there any way you can get a beta draw??

With my etopic in September I ovulated from the right side and my left tube picked up the egg but unfortunately the fertilized egg didn’t make it to the uterus.

Yes, I can and will do one at the end of this week if there is no clarity on what’s going on with my body or these tests. I was waiting for a strong bfp before I went into the clinic but now I just want to know what’s going on with my body/hormones/fertility if I’m not truly pregnant.

Is that a new test? Looks BFP

 

[Brianna777]

Is that a new test? Looks BFP

Yes, I took it this morning I believe around 5am but then my baby started crying and I just threw it in the garbage because I hadn’t seen a 2nd line come up (no longer coping well with these bfn tests). As I was soothing my baby I remembered I was suppose to wait until 5 min to read the results. I fell asleep with my young one and woke up around 10am and took it out the garbage and noticed that line. Not sure how accurate so I will do another one tomorrow morning I guess.

 

[Jess0685]

I have everything crossed for you @Brianna777, looking forward to tomorrow’s test.

I don’t need to tell you, as you’re an ectopic survivor yourself but if your lines are inconsistent, please, please get betas 48 hours apart.

That sounds pretty awesome. I'm sorry your fertilised egg didn't make it though. I'm Christian so I really believe that when God wants a woman to get pregnant, even a lack of tubes won't be an issue for fertilisation and implantation. The waiting is hard though.

Thank you very much.
I will go into a clinic tomorrow to get a draw done and see what happens. Results are usually posted in my charts within 12-48hrs.

@mommabear6 how long do you think you'll wait before sharing?
I'm absolutely rubbish at waiting and keeping secrets even for a few days!
Nice to meet you on here too I'm almost 17 weeks now and found out yesterday we're having a boy. We have an eldest boy and then 4 girls!
