positive opk @ 8dpo...HELP!!!

yes and so i went elsewhere so my insurance can pay someone who cares. i was 6 weeks and it was 2 yrs ago. had a blighted ovum. when i went to my scan, baby measured only 5 weeks. then waited a week and the next scan showed no baby nor sac so nothing there. so found out i m/c'ed on april 1st and had a d&c on april 2nd.
 
Fngrs Crossed... woohoo for the positive opk!! My thought with opks is that if there is a question, consider it negative. If you look at a pic from far away and can say definitely which one is darker, then there's your answer. Yours looks positive from far away. :)

I don't think my bleeding is pregnancy-related. With your DD, did you get your bfp during your bleeding or afterward? My wondfo hpts are negative. Now my urine was really really concentrated despite a short hold and my latest opk is dark. Not quite positive for me, but too close for comfort considering I'm going through this weird AF or whatever it is. I'm all for Oing but not while I'm spotting or bleeding. If they get darker, I'll have to try to BD... but I don't know if I can lol. I'm not a fan of BD when there is any bleeding whatsoever. My body is just plain crazy!!!!!!!!
 
So sorry for your loss, mzswizz! Have you been trying these 2 years? I know some people take breaks for a while afterwards.
 
Thanks L.E. and yes I've been trying for these 2 years and nothing yet.
 
Well there is my bfn on Wondfo today and my dark opks. I wonder why I go through so many opks when I get such crazy results. I blame my body, not the sticks though. I may save this sample longer and get a dollar tree one to compare. I think Wondfo opks are a bit more sensitive than the dollar trees though they're supposed to be the same.

These are my opks with the concentrated sample (even though it's a very short hold). With the flash and without....

yes take a dollar tree opk. I have used them and they are pretty good. Very sensitive. To me it looks like you are going to ov within a day or so. Because those are pretty dark.
 
In Dec I only tested with Dollar Tree because I ran out of Wondfos and actually only tested with the Dollar Tree because I made a trip there... otherwise I wouldn't have known. In Jan, my Wondfos got a little darker than the Dollar Trees, but they both got quite a bit darker than the control line... And of course 2 or 3 weeks ago I was having a lot of Wondfos that look like mine do now. I won't be sure of a surge til my test line gets obviously darker than the control.

I don't even know what CD I am on lol... either CD5 or CD60 :wacko:
 
when was your last AF? And have you went to the doc about that because if you keep getting surges but ov isnt really happening..then cant they do something or give you something so your body can gear and ov?
 
My last AF was the chemical... so 2/10-2/15. I had a Provera Period starting Oct 31 last year, then didn't O til about Dec. 19 (CD50), then in Jan I O'd around CD26, got my positive about 10 or 11 days later, started spotting about 3 days later, then bleeding right when AF was expected. My OBGYN requires us to have a semen analysis before she'll prescribe Clomid. Because I finally started ovulating, we decided to hold off on that ($175) but I may go ahead with it soon. I think we'd have a really good chance on Clomid.
 
Up until December, I'm pretty sure I hadn't O'd since I conceived my son in Feb of 2006, so I was just happy to be O'ing at all. I'm getting a little bit "over" the long cycles though. :/
 
Well hoping something gives and you will be able to either see a bfp or AF. So you can start fresh or start going to the doc for scans etc. FXed something happens for you soon.
 
L.E. I would have been too through with all that bleeding! As I am sure you were! Normal?! he must've lost his mind, of course he would say such a stupid thing as he is a lazy, lazy doctor; and didn't care to get to the bottom of the problem! Shame on him, Cracker-Jack must have given him a license and he didn't have to even pay for the actual popcorn to get it! I am not amazed that your nurse friend that only works in the front, knew what the issue could be..sometimes the most qualified employees are overlooked. She should very well move to the back area, so she can shed some insight on even the Dr. tisk, tisk, tisk (and shaking my finger)! I think that these doctors get a little lazy and don't want to investigate to see what the problem is. Instead lets prescribe unnecessary meds so we can get this lady out of our hair...smh Sure the pill is fine and dandy for TTA, but then you can quite possibly have an even longer wait time to start TTC. Imagine agreeing to that, you would have been dealing with the same issue and still trying to figure out what was going on. Thank God that he opened that door for that particular convo to take place, so that is defo one step closer to getting that little bundle of joy.
 
Cracker Jack gave him his license :rofl: Now thats classic. But i totally agree with you just like with my former ob/gyn. He was just as lazy as lazy can be. He didnt give me no information or anything just did my check up and said you are good to go ttc again. Its like he expected me to know everything about m/c's and everything even though that was my first pregnancy and then when i came back to say i got a positive pregnancy test he says i cant be pregnant and im wasting his time :shock: Last time i checked..docs are there to take care of medical issue and they better take care of my issue especially if my insurance are paying their salary. When one door closes, another opens. Glad we go through this now so we dont have to deal with this later on down the road because I would be pissed and a wreck if I waited until years from now to start trying because its already been 2 yrs and you would think i would be able to get pregnant with no problem seeing that im only 22! But thats just how the world thinks.

well the bleeding was with my oldest son...I got it after the bleeding. With my DD I had no bleeding at all skipped a period all together (matter of fact DH told me I was pergnant before I even could suspect it). He told me that sex felt diffeent, that my vagina felt swollen and "you are pregnant". He was right!! I bled with my youngest son 8 weeks in (placental hemorrhage; it was behind the placenta and reabsorbed on it's own; did lots of bed-rest though). With Masyn (my angel baby) I had no IB or anything. I just missed my period like with my DD. Of course I knew at 9dpo I was pregnant. But still just missed it like most women expect to. With the oldest son, it truly looked like a weird light period..I knew after it was gone that it wasn't a proper period. It was heavier than spotting. A pantyliner wouldn't have been enough, but it didn't fill up a thin pad. hard to describe. I can say that a PP pad would have been overkill. So that's about how the flow was.

I think it wouldnt hurt to test after the spotting stops just to see. It was a couple days after bleeding that I got the positive. It wasn't blazing positive, but it wasn't the faintest of lines either, clear and to the point kinda' line.


Shoot L.E. that +opk might be something more than OV!! Not trying to fill your head with false hope either. I think it really is worth testing in a couple of days! That + opk could mean that you are prego. How was your dancing this month?! Did you dance after you though you OV? because it is possible that you OV later and this is IB! :happydance:
 
The doc was actually a "she" and a midwife. I don't even understand how she was one. And the convo with the nurse friend was actually during my chemical. I didn't tell her about it, but we were talking about her job and she was talking about babies and moms dying and all this craziness while I sat there spotting after my bfp, knowing I was likely losing my bean. It was an interesting night to have that conversation. But yea, if I had stayed on the BCP, I would not have made any progression at all. I just can't believe no one checked my insulin levels in all those years. They checked my glucose (normal) but never my insulin til this new doc. It wasn't until I found out that my sister has insulin issues and that Metformin helped her stop bleeding all the time, that I decided that was my issue too.

Hold on what's that L.E.?! I tweaked your test...if you could take another I will take a look see. I saw a line on that thing! I promise it's not line eye!

Take a look yourself!

=D>Well said MsSwizz...They do forget that the insurance is what pays their salary. That's why in previous posts I have told of how I don't get Medicaid (not taking away from those that do, wish I could lol). They treat people with Medicaid so crappy here...And I would expect that it would be different with private insurance (given they can bill a obscene amount of money without being rejected so easily). regardless, everyone should receive the same level of care (well here i guess they do lmfo). So I will eat those words right now. Or should I say everyone should be treated with compassion and with proper care for their situation. If you haven't lost a child through infant loss or MC then you never know the pain of it. Obviously he never has lost a child!!

:( :hugs:That must have been so hard to sit there and say nothing. I kept away from ppl both times. So I can only imagine how you felt that night. I guess complacency and lack of compassion is easy when you make that kind of income. They let the title and money make them, instead of using skills, kindness, and innovation. They however must not know how it feels to want another child so bad you can taste it!:cry: At this point for all of us on this thread at least it has come down to desperation and prayers...lots and lots of prayers. When I put our offering in church yesterday I thought out loud "I should have put a million dollars or more in there." DH looked at me and said "yea." So I knew he knew what I was talking about. Although you can't put a price tag on a baby, just thinking I wish I would have had a million to put in as a seed to sow, just for God to think about telling DH and I yes we can have the baby.
 
L.E. you should take a closer pic of the hpt!

Fngrs-yes he totally forgot that my insurance was paying his salary and then he thought he was mister know it all but knew nothing at all. And his nurses were just as bad so its like okay why am i wasting my time AND money here. So after his little outburst I left and found somebody on the insurance website and glad that I did decide to do that when I did. Atleast now im very comfortable and my doc actually listens and puts my mind at ease and answers each question I have for him. I have no problem..taking the 15-20 mins drive to see him and the hospital is right across the street from him which is the SAME hospital I wanted to deliver our baby. So it all works out for me. I cant wait for all of us to get our bfps together!!!

RE the offering:Yes i think it has come down to alot of prayers for us now. I know soon we will get our bfps. I think God is in the mist of it all. He just making sure everything is good on our end and we do our part before he do his part. I know everything happens for a reason so we just got to wait even though thats the hard part.
 
I took another opk and it wasn't quite as dark, so who knows what this crazy body of mine is doing lol. My last BD was the 3rd of April and before that was Mar. 28th... I figure the latest I could have O'd would be the 31st (though obviously anything is possible at any time). Spotting started on April 5th. Of course I didn't use any opks after 3:30 pm on the 28th, or at all on the 29th and 30th lol.

I'm not expecting anything. I wouldn't say my hopes are up, but my curiosity is peaked for sure! My cm was watery and increased on the 30th and 31st then was a mix of ewcm/creamy/clumpy on the 1st. The only time I've really noticed clumpy cm was after I O'd in January, so I thought it was weird. And on the 2nd at bedtime I was very crampy almost like during heavy bleeding during AF... lasted a couple hrs and I was totally confused by it.

Just for fun, suppose I O'd on the 31st... that means spotting started at 5 dpo and is lasting though at least 9 dpo (today) with bfns on Wondfos today. LOL... an interesting possibility but not very likely. As always with me, only time will tell.
