October Pumpkins *testing thread*

I think you must be right about a cp because im still having a few symptoms. I’ve already succumbed to the fact that I’m not pregnant, but I’m still very bloated and getting hot flashes when I chug water.
It is nice to think these are steps toward being fertile again. That’s positive.
 
I might be just searching for hope with this, but what’s the consensus regarding being extra fertile after a chemical?
 
@HalfricanMa Sorry about all the mixed signals with the lines / no lines / half lines. I had a CP before and my HCG back then was 15. Still managed to get faint lines on tests that had a sensitivity of 20. I do believe you're having a CP too and the HPTs are just really sensitive and can catch a HCG of about 5, like yours. We can get some type of tea here in Germany that helps to regulate cycles. I'm thinking maybe something natural to regulate your cycles might help? Teas should be compatible with breastfeeding I think.
 
@HalfricanMa me over here stalking too! How frustrating for you, i do still see something on the wondfo and cb though are you going to get a repeat hcg? Be interesting to know if the number is actually going down or not.
@cheerios how are you 37 weeks??! I feel like you just got your bfp haha. Are you ready? Excited?! Xx
 
Hmm not sure on fertility after a cp but I hear others say they got pregnant quicker after than they did with the loss itself. I can’t speak from personal experience though because with my suspected cp’s we weren’t ttc, and with my 5 week loss we put ttc on hold for a couple months after due to family stressors.
 
@HalfricanMa I still see some lines on the new tests. Sorry you've been going through all this confusion. Are they going to do a repeat blood test to see what your number are doing? Hope you get a answer soon. Hugs ❤
 
I think i’m going to ask my doc to because i havent begun bleeding and i have the symptoms. I thought the symptoms could be just hormone changes from night weaning. I tend to get engorged so like @cheerios suggested the tea, which I may try, Rooibos actually makes me way over produce! So i’ve wondered if my hormones are just a tad sensitive while breastfeeding.
Also, when ds weaned I was already pregnant. So any changes my body goes through weaning that may look like pregnancy was masked by pregnancy last time I weaned lol.
 
@Jules8 I know this is, like, soooo 2 months ago but whatever happened with that FRER test that was very obviously positive but actually negative? Did you ever contact the company? Just asking because it came up in conversation.

@HalfricanMa good luck with everything. Hmmm I'll have to keep the Rooibos tea in mind, I had no idea it helped with production. If you have any other tips, please share! My boobs have always been underachievers. I haven't been able to feed any of my kids without supplementing :( My second did OK but wasn't putting on weight very well. My third was losing weight despite cluster feeding constantly. I would love to be able to EBF but so far, no such luck :( I'm thinking about reaching out to he local la leche league chapter this time as I didn't really have help the times before, just told to supplement with formula.

I did a negative review on Amazon and Walmart because they sell them. I also sent something to first response. No answer of course. I bought a pack for this cycle because I wanted to see if that was maybe just a bad batch. I’m pregnant so they were lucky this time that the line was true. Lol
 
Here are today’s tests!! AF was officially late yesterday. I like seeing the opks compared to the hcg tests and I had a few left so I threw it in there today. Lol I called this morning because no one has called about my hcg results from Friday and Monday. They said the doctor is part time or something, but why do some of these doctors not have someone monitor these things when they aren’t there?! This isn’t just routine bloodwork. You’re dealing with hormonal and anxious women. Anyway, they sent me to a nurse on another team and she looked it over. She said it looked great! I asked for my confirmation appt be with a more regular doctor and she scheduled me for the 24th. 2 weeks is so far away! I do think it’s better though because I want to make sure it’s not too early to see anything.
