Ovulating a couple days after AF??

[Kiwiberry]

Omg omg omg..... tell me someone sees this?!!? It happened today, I noticed it yesterday but hubby and my friend Theresa can really see it today. If i was 5w1d with baby #3 is this possible or do I have a tomber or something?? I pushed on it, Definitely not fat and I'm 2lbs lighter now then I was when the pic on the left was taken. I am 133lbs, 5ft 3in tall.

I'm starting to think those progesterone shots I had really are preventing me from getting a positive hpt.......

I'm waiting on a phone call from my OBGYN this weekend.

My bump is getting bigger . I swear to you lovelies, after losing almost 80lbs, I have a Flatish tummy normally. I only struggle with stretched skin. This "bump" is hard with the exception of a tiny layer of stretched skin (from my babies I'm assuming). My original pic was only taken like a month ago and I'm 2lbs lighter.

The 2nd pic is my tests from this morning. I am having a lot of symptoms now.

I really see line now, no squint needed irl. My bump is also getting bigger by the hour it feels. No call from my obgyn yet.

I am convinced now that the progesterone shots I had for 18 weeks in my previous pregnancy are preventing me from getting blazing lines.

I can't see anything on the pic, but tbh I never can! I really hope you're right though and that you get some kind of confirmation soon!

Thank you!! I am still waiting, but will update when I do go in. Just in case anyone in the future comes accross my thread and is in a similar situation.

Update time ladies! Still no call from my Dr, its most likely going to be tomorrow sadly. Good news, my babydust wondfo came. They are so cool ladies, nice and big test strips. Definitely going to be what I buy for ICs from now on (if I need them anymore).

So can you see my bump now ladies?? I totally can, and no way I'm hiding this till 12w.

The top tests are the target brand I took last night, hours apart. The wondfo I took just now.

 

[Kiwiberry]

Omg ladies it's there!!!!!!!!!!!!

What was the time frame?

 

[Kiwiberry]

Hmmm I would say about 5 minutes. I take my pics right after the dye dries so I don't confuse it for lines. The opk was taken the day before (I think anyway, just pulled from the pile), I just used it for comparison to the line location in the pic. They are the same brand.

i think you will need blood to confirm this. i only see a line on the very last test you posted and i dont think the bloat is convincing enough (ive had cycles where i totally convinced myself i was pregnant and i was losing my mind over it... so i dont trust solid lines or blood tests.) good luck though! i hope youre right!!

 

[Teri7489]

Well i would be trusting that line!! Not squinting about that. Congrats ���� x

I would take a FRER rather than trusting cheapy tests in this situation. I would expect your hcg to be rising fast enough now if you are pregnant for it to be visible on a decent test. I know I went from absolutely nothing, completely white, on a FRER to a strong, dark positive within 6 days. It's been over a week that you've been testing, probably nearly 2. I know there are weird circumstances when people don't get lines until later, but if your hormones are doing what they should be, you should get a decent positive by now. If not, you'll want to know that so you can get yourself checked out in case there is an issue.

I'm sorry ladies, I'm really emotional right now. I came back to update you lovelies who are interested. Have a faint FRER today, taken in the evening. The lines are still the same, but you can see it.

The 2nd and 3rd image is enhanced. I'm sorry, they will be smaller because I had to resize them in an app in order to upload them here.

From the stories I've been reading those that are affected by the progesterone shot they had in a previous pregnancy, don't get very dark lines for a long time some even up to 20 weeks pregnant.

I am still looking for a new OB. It's a little harder for me because I have to find one that accepts my insurance.

So that's 5 readable tests with lines. 2 target.brand, 2 babydust wondfo (one I didn't share), and 1 FRER.

Just discovered You Doodle app. Drew some arrows for you ladies.

I'm sorry the quality is probably really poor now because I had to filter it through two apps. The doodle app and the Image Resizer.

Clear blue taken just now.

 

[MindUtopia]

I see what you're seeing on the clear blue, but I don't see lines on the others unfortunately. There is a bit of a smudge on the FRER in the higher contrast photo (where you put the arrows), but it wouldn't be where the line should be for an accurate reading, so I would be reluctant to trust it. Perhaps you've ovulated again in a new cycle and are very early on? I know when I was nearly 6 weeks, my FRERs were so dark they were nearly completely draining the control line of any ink.

I would be cautious trusting random things about progesterone in previous pregnancies causing problems in a new pregnancy. I've never heard of that (and I'm a medical scientist so well read up on these things). People will say a lot of crazy things on blogs and in forums, and I would be sure to confirm that information with actual clinical evidence before you put too much stock in it. It could possibly be you are just very early on, or there could be other explanations.

I do see that on the CB!

Ladies . This is so messed up. So I went to the ER cuz I was tired of waiting. I still had trouble finding an Obgyn that was willing to work with me. Anyway, I convinced them to do an ultrasound. Well.. i have sad news. I had an ovarian cyst (wasn't painful like the other 3 I had in my life) and they said it can produce hcg and cause false pregnancy symptoms and false positive tests?????!!!!!!!?????? Since when??? It cant even be detected by blood and i would have never known if I didn't force them to do an ultrasound.

I am so sad . Thanks for supporting me through this ladies.

The good news is..... if there is any..... They said my egg was about to burst. Also, now I won't be confused on ovulation. It lines up with my normal cycle today. I am assuming the opk were caused by the cyst too.

Might be useful to know this ladies for the future. I know I sure didn't know. To my knowledge there was nothing other than something cancer-related that could produce HCG.

"Ovarian Cysts. Corpus luteum*cysts*on the*ovaries can cause*false positives on pregnancy tests. ... If the corpus luteum fills with blood or fluid, it becomes a*cyst*and remains on the*ovary. The corpus luteum*produces HCG, and*can*therefore interfere with the accuracy of a pregnancy test."
