The New Positively Positive Thread of Positivity *13* BFPs!!!

[Stinas]

I see it Opera!!!

 

[opera_lady24]

Do you see it in its case too? I'm having a super super hard time trusting it after I took it out of its case. Maybe it's been so long in coming that I just don't believe it???!!!

 

[Stinas]

I see it lightly in the case.
Is it still neg. on FRER? I would try it with FMU on a FRER tom! or just go in for blood work!

 

[opera_lady24]

I don't think FMU works for me b/c I took another test on a different brand this morning with FMU and it was negative. This test was a few hours later....AAAAHHHH this is pulling-out-my-hair-driving-me-crazy!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stinas]

hmmmmm...i dk. They say blue dye tests are not too reliable, but you never know.

 

[Lionchild]

Opera- That my friend looks like a BFP! What was the other test type that you used this morning. I'd be peeing on all sorts of sticks if I were you. This looks promising!

I'd say that if you get another positive-looking test tomorrow, splurge on a digi (I'm a bad influence—I know). I know digis are supposed to take more hCG, but I got a positive on a digi when my lines looked like yours on the CBE tests.

This is crazy! I hope you get your clear positive soon!!!!! This must be driving you nuts!

 

[opera_lady24]

Sigh...this IS driving me nuts. The other brand I used was a kroger (store brand) pink dye test. This one was an e.p.t.

I know everyone says blue dye tests are the devil yet digis use blue dye, and everyone relies on those as super accurate. The only thing that makes me raise my brow a bit is that the line wasn't that prominent until I took it out of the case. I could see it for sure, when it was in the case, just couldn't get a picture of it...but when I took it out, it got darker almost instantly upon touching the air.

I have spent so much money on tests the past few days! But yes, I'm going to buy more...probably a box of every brand I can find lol!

 

[Stinas]

Oh Opera! I hope this is it for you!!! Im excited!!
Maybe you can pee in a cup and use it for more than one test? I have read people doing that with FMU and afternoon pee. Worth a shot I guess!

 

[Lionchild]

Also, mine were darker with afternoon pee than with fmu with bfp. Now I want to pee on another stick. Obsession!!!

The difference between the two tests today could be a difference in how much hCG they're detecting. E.P.T is a more expensive brand than Kroger. It may be picking up lower levels of the hormone.

 

[wantanerd]

opera, go get a blood test! It will stop driving you crazy and you will know for sure!
the ept test looked positive to me!

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Opera I can see the line, my early lines looked similar, but I must add I had one just like it another month and it was not positive! I agree with the idea of getting the blood test! It's really the best way to stop the wait and wonder!

 

[JenzyKY]

Ladies I am routing for you all!!!!!!

I do HIGHLY suggest anyone trying for over 6months - a year to go get checked out....because it may NOT be you. Take it from experience. For a year I thought it was me, never in my wildest dreams did I think it was DH. NOT saying anything is wrong with anyone or anyone is in my situation, but its better to know or have an idea whats taking so long. Just for a piece of mind.

I totally agree with this. At least go get the basic testing done as it should be covered due to "irregular cycles." If for nothing other then some piece of mind. I can't imagine any doctor shrugging off 60+ day cycles. You never know, there could be an "easy" fix.

....Now break an egg everyone!

 

[opera_lady24]

Oh I've already done a whole bunch of testing...I have a confirmed case of pcos. DH is fine though (yes we had him tested too, even though I was pretty sure it's just me).

It's been a difficult journey, so the thought of actually having achieved a pregnancy naturally is such a wonderful one. We'll see tomorrow I guess.

GP...any news?

 

[Lionchild]

I've had myself somewhat checked out. Docs said all my lady parts look normal. Exploratory ultrasound didn't show any problems. My 21 day (actually 25 day for me) progesterone test was normal. I have regular (approximately 30 day) cycles.

I think I know what my problem is, it's my 10 day LP. Since my doc isn't a fertility specialist, she didn't think it's a cause for concern. Still, imo, that's why it's taking me longer to conceive (and why I'm trying B-complex to lengthen lp naturally). Dh could also have problems, but I did get a bfp in November, so it likely isn't that bad if he does. We're waiting a few more months before he gets tested. It's $250 bucks for him to feel uncomfortable doing something private in a public place. I'd rather wait a bit longer to see if we do it naturally again.

I don't know if you remember me telling you all that the midwife from the mc wants to see me about the ultrasound they did at 5.5 weeks. I had to cancel my appt. last week because of the flu, so I won't get to find out if there's a cause for concern until March 4th (docs out of town).

 

[Lionchild]

GP? Are you out there? How's it going?

 

[Stinas]

Lion, I would still go see someone who knows better. I went to a gyno who literally told me I was going to O "within the next few days, so have sex for the next 3 days and ill see you when your pregnant in a few weeks". She said I didnt have PCOS, not even slightly.
Ended up going back, demanding all the testing I need, then obviously having DH tested. Which she was a bitch in explaining it to me....she basically told me our only route was donor sperm. Anyways......my fertility specialist did tell me I have mild PCOS and showed my a small cyst on my ovaries, which will fall off by itself, but thats whats making my cycles out of whack.
Im not saying anything is relevant to anyone else, but regular docs dont always look for the right things.
We all want a baby now....so why prolong an easy apt which can help us get our babies faster?

 

[Brie1117]

OPERA OPERA OPERA!!!!!!! Go get a blood test, woman!!!! That DEFINITELY looked like a 100% BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go go go go!!!!! Have you gone yet?? Are you going!?? GOOOO!!!!!!

FF put me at 13DPO today. Woah, THAT's a jump! ok... well, let's get this show on the road! Not expecting a BFP since it was such a slim change we BD's at the right time with SUCH a long cycle.... Hoping FF is right, but it makes sense:
Sore nips (usual post O sign around 10-14dpo)
Sensitive smell (usual post O sign around 10+dpo)
Feeling warmer (" ")

3 negative HPTs this morning. Let's move on to the next cycle!!!


OPERA!!!!! did you get a blood test yet!?!?!?!?!??! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

 

[Frustrated42]

I agree that everyone should get tested if you've been trying for a while. I did a few years ago and was told there was nothing wrong. But as I see it my last 6 cycles have been:
Start Date Length
23 January, 2013 Current, CD 23
26 December, 2012 28 Days
17 November, 2012 39 Days
6 October, 2012 42 Days
16 August, 2012 51 Days
16 July, 2012 31 Days
26 June, 2012 20 Days
9 May, 2012 48 Days
28 March, 2012 42 Days
21 February, 2012.

I don't think this is normal at all. Sorry but I just copied and pasted that. Plus I have some very classic PCOS symptoms that my doctor just shrugs off. What do you ladies think of my cycles?

 

[opera_lady24]

Frustrated....that looks like it could be a sign. What are your other symptoms? To give an example....difficulty losing weight/overweight, hair growth on face/neck, hair loss, no AF for months on end or irregular AF and the symptom that's used to diagnose it is polycystic ovaries...which requires an internal exam. I'd get it done and find a new doctor if you're concerned. Personally, I have no time for doctors who charge me lots of money and act like they don't care.

Brie...13DPO is still early. You're never out until the comes.

And............

FRER this morning with FMU



I also took a clear blue plus and answer...both were BFN...kinda frustrating

 

[Frustrated42]

Total BFP opera! So excited for you!!!!

As for my other symptoms weight issues, hair issues which has gotten worse in the last year. It's so frustrating to have them tell me nothing is wrong when I feel like I could grow a beard on my face lol. I don't think that's normal for a women.
