Stopping BCP to TTC***Updates & Progress/Noted Changes Since Stopping BCP***24BFPs***

[patienceiav]

I'm cd9 after my period, I held the digi for the correct time at least looking for some emergency nr to call and ask what to do!

Patience my sister had a period with her second child so she didn't think she was pregnant but turned out she was... He's due to turn 3 this month. Maybe you're in the same boat as she was?

OOO! i was confused.. thought this was an old test. It is possible! I would test again tomorrow and go to the Dr! What made you want to test after your period? I sometimes want to do that too. lol.

 

[twinkie2]

I say go to the docs for a blood test, I see you have your period as light so maybe you just had a little break through bleeding.

 

[patienceiav]

I don't know really, everything happened just like it did with my normal periods, could be a chemical showing still on the test, will go poas at the Dr tomorrow and take my temp when I wake up to see what's what!

Thanks girls, I feel more calm now Sweden don't do blood tests though! I think it's probably a chemical or something, the line was semi faint at (technically) 19dpo

 

[StephR]

Hopefully they will do a test for you. My fingers are crossed!!

 

[Wtbam]

Omg patience! I don't think this is a chemical as the hcg level should drop before or around the time period is due so won't show up on the test.... I personally think this is a genuine bfp and the bleeding was not a period, but was either implantation bleeding, breakthrough bleeding or even progesterone withdrawal?!

 

[Wtbam]

Plus looking at your previous chart you showed what you thought was a short luteal phase.... what if it was just late implantation? The 1-2 on the digital is about right timings wise!!!

 

[twinkie2]

I'm going to have to agree with wtbam on this completely, plus you are still above your coverline! Eeek, seriously getting super excited for you right now!

 

[patienceiav]

Gosh, this mornings test was so faint! I guess I expected some thundering line just cuz i got a digi +

We're going to keep being skeptical, I'd be 20dpo so it's a weak result to me especially after bleeding my "normal" af. I thought that would be 2-3 on the digi? Maybe because I took it 10 mins after my last poas it was weaker?

I think I'm going to hop back on the progesterone cream till I know more, it won't do any harm if I'm not preggers but if I am it may help the bean

I will definitely grab a bunch of tests in UK and see if I can see a progression, hard to tell when I keep switching brands, typical I'm out of my regulars when I actually need it!

I just feel scared to hope, both hubby and me have our fingers crossed but are trying to rationalise it, I mean I feel nothing except my boobs are a tiny bit warm and a hairs breadth fuller but no aches sickness nothing! I've downed morphine cough mixture, caffeine drinks, done bikram yoga, I feel terrible!

Thankyou girls for the encouragement, I'll go to the midwife soon and see what she says and whatever her opinion I'll trust it

It's entirely possible it was I I guess, it started a day earlier than my normal af but maybe the progesterone cream allowed my body to push thriving and not shed the lining makes me wonder how often that may have been a possibility over these months of early periods!

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

So confusing!...I'm sorry I'm not much help....I wonder if the Dr could get you an ultrasound? Like an internal one to see if there really is a bean in there..

 

[patienceiav]

I think i'm going to have to wait this one out, i'm very confused after seeing the midwife though, she said it's positive even though it's faint and booked me in for a checkup at 6weeks.... in 4weeks time ? Like she counted my period now as my latest period and the calculation seems wrong, surely i'm 3-4 weeks ish now ?

Oh well not much more to do than sit back and keep POAS to see what happens

 

[Wtbam]

I don't agree with your midwife dating that way, but obviously she is an experienced professional, I'm just going from what I have learnt in my own journey!

Personally, I would say that you at least HAVE been pregnant, because to get a 1-2 on a clearblue digital, here are the amounts of HCG you need:

1-2 weeks = 25miu to 200miu
2-3 weeks = 201miu to 2000miu
3+ weeks = >2000miu

Whether or not this is a chemical, I am not sure, because you have had bleeding... what I would be more concerned about is that you still have faint lines.... but, there is still hope. As hard as it is, I agree, I think you are going to have to wait it out and see if you can see a progression.

I do believe you had a late implantation as your chart shows no evidence until maybe 8DPO? Then you starting bleeding - which fits nicely for implantation bleeding....

I think keep POAS, the nicest thing will be hopefully when you see a 2-3 on a digital! Can you post pics of the tests for this morning?

I'm so excited for you. Even if this is a chemical, it means that you CAN conceive, and that your tubes aren't blocked because your levels of HCG at least rose enough to show that the embyro had moved through (if anyone can correct me on that go ahead, that is my understanding of it though?) x

 

[patienceiav]

I'm mentally prepared for the worst, I don't feel much different but I'll definitely poas every morning to see what's what thanks for the info on the test, I'm just thrilled that I can get pregnant, whether or not this is a chemical after 9 months I CAN get pregnant and that's worth more than anything

Here is last night "19dpo" (the green is another OPK) https://i62.tinypic.com/2u94cix.jpg

And here is this morning "20dpo"

It's impossible to compare two different brands let alone two different colour tests so I'll get all the same ones in uk tomorrow though I think I'll bring a digi so I can try with fmu, the digi I did was 20 mins after the blue dye pic and late in the evening, maybe it made a difference who knows! I'm definitely taking the progesterone cream again, what harm can it do

 

[patienceiav]

Here's before Af, but with no info over the past week it's hard to go with it. The opk progressed and the preg test was an evap but maybe I peaked during af and it's going down again

[Wtbam]

To be honest, I wouldn't pay much notice to OPK's as they measure LH and not HCG, and although the two hormones are similar (and therefore HCG can be picked up on an OPK) I don't think they are particularly reliable in this situation - any OPK with a test line that is not as dark (or darker than) the test line is seen as negative. So, there is no such thing as a "faint positive" on a OPK - it is negative unless it is a blaring dark line.

 

[patienceiav]

True enough, they just look so much better than my preg. tests just fidgeting at home waiting to leave for the airport so i can grab another test

 

[Wtbam]

Where abouts in the UK are you coming to?

 

[patienceiav]

Brighton home !

I worry the dye bled a bit, the line was there then I dropped it and saw dye coming from the pee side of the stick, then after about 10 secs it went away and the line was stronger?
