March 2020 testing thread

@jellybeanxx I see it

 

[jellybeanxx]

Today’s tests. The first is not tweaked and the second is tweaked. Feeling very sick today!
Temp and RPR is still climbing. Someone on a pregnancy test app just said loads of people get false positives on FRERs, this is the first time I’ve had second lines on FRERs in two years but I’m worried it’s all false now!

I still see a line!!

Hello ladies


Sorry I also had a bit of a tough time keeping up with the thread @jellybeanxx I can't really have a nice look but i'm crossing fingers it's a BFP for you let us know when you've re-tested. Just to update you ladies on my situation I am now 19 DPO but still getting BFN and no AF in sight. I tested yesterday and still no luck.. its so discouraging not knowing what is going on when you want something so badly. I felt all the symptoms you can think of but as soon as I took the test it all went away
Maybe because I want to conceive so much my mind is playing tricks on me. Anyway I have an appointment with my gynea next week Monday and if AF hasn't showed up by then I will either be pregnant or discover that something is wrong. Please keep me in your prayers

That sounds so stressful for you! How were you tracking ovulation? Could you have ovulated later?
Hope the appointment goes well and you get answers soon!

I shouldn’t have opened the testing floodgates can’t stop now!

So my full story is that I got pregnant last year and discovered that it was twins about 15 weeks into the pregnancy, it was my first so I found out a bit late and doctor diagnosed a weak cervix and put a shirodkar stitch in about 2 weeks later. At about 20 weeks my water broke and I held on for 4 weeks and lost both boys at 24 weeks. I had to deliver them via c-section and that took about 2 month to heal and in the meantime I was using depo Provera to avoid falling preg while my scar is still healing. So a few months later I was healed and decided to try again and my doc prescribed Clomid which I took for 5 days and he predicted which days I would be most fertile which were 4 days. I had sex for 3 of those 4 days and my AF was due 7 days ago but didn't show up and I tested about 4 times during that time and still nothing .

Oh you’ve been through it, I am so sorry for the loss of your twins. I don’t know what to say about your lack of AF and negative testing. Can you get beta done?

You’ve been through so much and I’m very sorry for your loss!
Did your doctor monitor you at all on clomid? I didn’t ovulate on my first cycle and needed to increase my dose of it to make me ovulate. Hopefully you’ll get more clarity soon!

 

[Mum42crazy]

OH MY GOD!!!! You will never believe what I am going to write!!!

when we started this getting pregnant thing, my DH went for a sperm test because he knew he didn’t have sperm because of the treatment that he had been on 5 years ago!!! Nothing was found... so no sex in the BD days no point right? On to this IVF road we went, so guess what in December I had a slight bleed 5 days after ovulating, nothing to write home about, just once bright red after I went for a pee, I was then 3 days late for my period which was a nasty heavy one, in the back of my head I was like maybe I was pregnant but obviously because of him I just pushed it out of my head.

today he got his results back from the hospital because he had to do another test because they keep frozen sperm here for free if you have had a medical procedure that takes destroys sperm he has to do it every year.
He is fertile again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am near 100% sure I was pregnant in December!!!! Oh my god all this and he is fertile now!!!!
Tomorrow scan for me to see when I will do the trigger shot!!! But at least if it doesn’t happen with IVF we can try a few months the old school way.

Thanks @jellybeanxxx .. He actually did not monitor me he just assumed I would ovulate on those days because I am someone who normally has a regular cycle. It could be that I ovulated a bit later or did not ovulate at all like you..but I guess I will find that out when I go for the appointment on Monday. Hopefully he will increase my dose in that case so that I can have better luck next month

Ladies, I wondered if you could give me some advise please. I saw the doctor today to chat about my ridiculously heavy AF's and pains (I wondered if I might have a ovarian cyst) and because of my mums history of fibroids she wants to send me for an ultrasound scan. Thing is it could take weeks or months to come through and I don't know if I should continue TTC?
I didn't tell the doctor I was TTC, I suppose it felt like the wrong time and she would have probably laughed at my age!
What would you do ladies? My fertile time is fast approaching!
Thanks in advance.

I would keep TTC! You never know if it takes months you may miss your chance completely. Sorry I dont know much about fibroids etc though! But chances are it's not that and if you get cleared by the scan and have taken a break you might regret it? I know I would but that's just me!

@Deethehippy side note, my AF have been ridiculously heavy and painful for about 2 years before I had bub, 7m PP they were much better but slowly got worse until just as bad again. But last cycle after taking my b complex and vit c tabs for the month along with my prenatals my AF was much improved!

@Twinmom2019 that is strange that your period is so late with BFN, maybe ask your Dr for a BetaHCG blood test. Some people it doesn't show up on a test rarely. But otherwise my guess would be no ovulation. Good luck!

@Mum42crazy That's really amazing! I am so happy for you!

@jellybeanxx I see ALL OF THE LINES on your tests and I would be going crazy testing too if I were you! Also I have never had a false positive on an FRER! I took one last cycle 12dpo (AF came that day) and it was a definite BFN!


AFM temp stayed pretty much the same as yesterday which is a good enough for me, I did have a horrible nights sleep, awake for hours in the early AM so not sure how accurate it is.

I think it's a BFN on my strip test but there's a tiny shadow at the top where test line should be which gives me false hope I've had to tweak it to make it obvious on a photo but I'm gonna share my false hope with you ladies anyway FRER tomorrow! But most likely AF tomorrow as well lol.
