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

[Lionchild]

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.

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

I am so happy for you, Opera!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!! H&H 9 months!!!! Doesn't it feel amazing to hear those words?! And to think, you had said you were going to quit trying because the timing was bad. Then BOOM !!!

 

[Lionchild]

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?

I think your irregular cycle lengths are probably indicative of an underlying condition. There is a lot of variation there. And what Opera said about PCOS, do you have any symptoms that she mentioned? I think you should definitely get a second opinion. Have you seen a fertility specialist? How long have you been ttc? I can't remember.

I'm not worried about PCOS for myself. I'm normal weight, have 30-31 day cycles (except this month), no irregular hair growth, and predictable ovulation. I think what my GP overlooked was that my progesterone levels were normal at 26 DPO for what would have been normal at 21 DPO a 14 day lp. The problem is that my af arrived a few days later, which isn't normal. I am convinced my problem is estrogen dominance due to other symptoms I experience throughout the month. Unexplained hormonal imbalances (without conditions like PCOS causing them) are hard to diagnose. I'm trying to see if I can get my hormones on track with B-complex, diet, and lifestyle changes first. The doc suggested birth control pills, but that's exactly what I don't want to do while ttc.

GL!! Let us know what's going on if you do head to the doc.

Opera I see it!!!! Congrats!

 

[opera_lady24]

Going to doc to get bloods to confirm it (and make sure everything is okay). I am having such a hard time believing it. Maybe if two of the three tests were positive...

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Opera I am so happy for you!!!


Don't worry about some of the tests being negative, in a few days they will all be positive! I had a mixture of weird looking negative (that looked like evaps) and then positive tests at first! You will see how the lines get darker with time (if you keep testing like crazy like I did lol)!!! Yay! It's time for the blood test!

 

[opera_lady24]

Well I wasn't able to get bloodwork done today b/c my doc's office was really understaffed but when I ahowed my doc my chart and the two tests she seemed really confident that I am. I'll find out tomorrow I guess.

Opera - I know I haven't posted anything any in a while, but I have still been checking in often. I am so excited for you!!!! For the past couple days, I find myself logging into this site several times throughout the day just to see if you have posted any updates. Fingers crossed for you

 

[GingerPanda]

GP...any news?

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

Sorry, not been posting much these past couple of days. This morning I finally accepted that I'm not pregnant from last cycle. Getting O twinges from the left side, which is correct, and I got a positive OPK today. BD'd last night. I just don't want to have a baby in December, so I'm going to stop TTC for a little bit. I have my appointment for basic testing set for March 20th. Hopefully we can start trying in April and maybe have a baby in 2014.

[opera_lady24]

I'm so nervous ladies...at the doc office now. Frer this morning still had a line but it was fainter than yesterday. Also took an answer which had a disappearig positive. Is that normal this early?

 

[borr.dg.baby]

My blue dye tests at first had a disappearing line! I hope you get wonderful news! FX!

FX for you, Opera! Let us know how it goes!

 

[Frustrated42]

Fx for your opera and for good new today!

 

[Lionchild]

GP, glad to hear you are doing ok. Let us know how the doc appointment goes in a few weeks. What all are they testing?

Enjoy a little break from ttc. It sounds amazingly relaxing to me.

 

[Frustrated42]

As for me this cycle ntnp has been ok. Except that I know all my body signs now and if they have been correct I O'd lady night. Which meant I still bd'd lol

 

[puppymom]

Opera, how did your appt. go today?

 

[Lionchild]

That's understandable, Frustrated. It's kind of impossible to NTNP once you know how your cycles work (i.e., what symptoms to look for). At least you can pretend to NTNP while husband stays in the dark.

I'm afraid af may be on her way. I'm having light spotting and have been feeling the PMS all day. I've got to say that I'm going to be a little irritated if af shows up in the next few days. It will mean that my body decided to O late this month and wait until I had the flu and I was too sick to BD. Come on! That's how you're going to end my first year of ttc! Evil!

Waiting to hear from you, Opera! I'm hoping you'll have some good news to cheer me/us up!

 

[Lionchild]

Ok, now I'm really confused! I finally got more opks in the mail today. I just took one and it's almost positive. I've either gotta be getting ready to O the latest I ever have before (cd34) or I'm just a tiny bit pregnant. I did get three evaps this week—my first evaps ever I should add. I'm going to have to hold my pee now and take an HPT tonight. I don't know what to think.

 

[opera_lady24]

Blood test was negative. I'm devastated. FRER will be getting a very livid complaint come Tuesday.

My temps are still high, so I removed my manual O date to see if FF thinks I O'd, which it does, but it thinks I'm only 10DPO. If that's the case, we didn't time things right at all.

Ok...gotta go.

 

[Lionchild]

Opera- I am so sorry to hear the bad news. The test looked very positive. Is it possible you had a chemical?

I can imagine how let down you must be feeling. We're here if you need support and cheering up.

 

[Brie1117]

Oh

Opera

I am so

so

SO
Sorry!!!!

I am with you that FRER should get a big boot up the keister. How unfair! That test looked SO positive! I'm so sorry hun

BIG BIG BI for you!
