Talked to another of my midwives tonight. She suggested we do bloodwork for LH, FSH, and prolactin to help determine if I have pcos and need metformin, or if I have a pituitary problem. I like having a plan! Will find out around Thanksgiving if I ovulated a few days ago. My progesterone the day before ovulation came back at 2.1. But now I don't want provera if I may have ovulated on Wednesday.
Why did you test for progesterone the day before O? Did you get your thyroid hormones checked? Hope that you get the answers you're seeking....
The sane side of me says not to test.
The crazy side says to test daily until BFP or AF.
I feel your pain LilRu, FFsays AF will be here Friday. I have my BT on Friday, but I've peed on two sticks, both are positive, but I don't know if it's Pregnyl or a real BFP. I'm 6 days past my last Pegnyl. Monday's test was darker than Sunday's. I've bought more tests this morning and will be using all of them between now and Friday.
I never thought myself as an addicted POASer, but look at me now
I had no idea how long you had to wait to get a true (+) so I googled it, this is what I found:
"If you need to find out sooner, you can do some math and figure it out. hCG has a half-life of 28 hours in your body, which means that your hCG levels should decrease by half every 28 hours. There are three injection amounts; 10 000 IU, 5000 IU, and 2500 IU. If you have had the 10 000 IU shot, youll need to wait for at least 14 days after the shot to take the pregnancy test; the 5000 IU test will have you waiting 10 days, and a weeks wait for the 2500 IU shot."
You must be sooooo freaking out! I hope its a true positive, FX for you, girl!!!! Although, it sounds like technically its too soon to know for sure. But I guess if your line is getting darker or staying the same and not getting lighter, than the amount of hcg is not decreasing, which is a good sign. I would do fmu for the next couple days and compare color. Maybe take pics? Omg, this is getting crazy obsession! What amount of hcg was your last injection?
I didn't pick up any hpts, and I'm not leaving the house again today, so I'm proud to say I resisted the temptation. I guess I'm just so traumatized by all the (-)'s I've seen. Last month, I bought a bunch of $ store hpts, and tested my brains out. I think that's what did me in. Cramping is pretty bad today though, and not usually like this 2 days before AF. I'm thinking I may have developed a cyst or clomid is giving me a crazy period. FX it's neither of those situations.
Try to wait until the day after AF is supposed to arrive to test....
My last booster was 1500. So quite a bit less than the 2500 that says 7 days.
I've since pee'd on another test and test and control line are almost as dark as each other. I almost want to tell my DH but I don't want him to get his hopes up.
My first clomid round left me with crazy cramps, but I didn't ovulate.
Well done on not getting any hpt's! I wouldn't have been able to stay sane this tww without testing.
I'm contemplating calling my clinic and moving testing day to Thursday, just to shave 1 day off my waiting...
I can understand that you want to move up your testing date. However, you may want to wait so that your betas will be as high as possible...
