Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[Babee_Bugs]

i deffo see a secondline!!!...

on the 26th of July i had 300HCG still left in my system, even though a scan that same day showed my uterus was fully clear!...

18th of August i got my BFP... So its deffo do-a-ble. I was in complete denial though

 

[mannymoo]

Bananas and Elaine - did either of you test this morning? Any updates?

 

[bananas2]

Hey manny-i was 2 annoyed with yesterdays BFN to test this morning! Just reading smep it say to test 15 days after + opk which will be 2mo so will give it a go! Not holding out much hope at all!! Normally I can imagine some symptoms but I've got nothing this month!

 

[mannymoo]

Bananas - so many ladies say that the month they got their BFP, they had less symptoms than other months. So there is always hope. Let us know how you get on tomorrow. Fingers crossed. x

 

[thethomsons]

Well my plot thickens!! Today I decided to do my digital ovulation test today and I got a smiley face!!!! Also my cheapie was a MAJOR positive so I have no doubts at all that I must be ovulating!! No idea why I am getting line on PG test but I have no doubts that I am def about to start the 2WW! Dh and I will get busy over weekend and then it is waiting game! At least I know where I am at now which makes me feel LOADS better! I have loads of CM and feel much wetter below (sorry tmi) but have no doubt what's going on now!! Keeping fingers crossed! Will post pic when get home to show you! xx

Hope everyone well x

 

[mannymoo]

Elaine - glad you finally got a smiley face! Remember though that OPK picks up HCG too so still keep an eye on that. Although if you've got the EWCM it does sound like Ov. If it stays smiley for a few days, I would do another Pregnancy test. But in the meantime, no harm in getting busy DTD!! Have a fun weekend! x

 

[thethomsons]

Don't think there is any doubt do you!!

Feel so excited and I know it is only OV not PG but it is a sign that I am finally getting back to normality. Still confused as to why getting faint line on PG (like faintest line EVER) and yet def positive OPK? Anyway am going to take it that this is the weekend that we BD like mad and hope for the best! Suppose also have to accept that it may not infact work at all. Fingers crossed eh! Anything else I can do to possibly help the big TTC weekend??
How is everyone?? xx

 

[Babee_Bugs]

It could be picking up pregnancy aswell hunnie ... i would deffo retest with a pregnancy test

 

[horseypants]

The timing does sound like o (in retrospect) get busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mannymoo]

Elaine I don't think there is any chance that you would have enough hcg from your mc to make a digi opk smile. Either you ARE ovulating (which I think you are) or it is possibly a new pregnancy. I def think get busy dtd!! Also put you legs up for 30 mins after. Apparently that really does help. Good luck!! I'm hoping to ov early next week so we'll be testing quite close together. Hooray!! Good luck.

 

[thethomsons]

Manny moo I think you are right, the fact ic went sooo positive so quickly is def Ov. Just going to test again at lunch and see if still there. DH and I dtd every other day since 11th August plus will do every night till Monday. When do I count dpo from?

Would be so good if we are close to testing together!

Will feedback today's result later xx

Def think need to have chat with all these people who say you don't ov with hcg in system, it's obviously smallest amount I have but def oving!!

 

[thethomsons]

Hey girls, well what a weekend, I am SOOO confused! I have had the smiley face on digital OPK since Friday pm and it has gone this morning so pretty sure that was my OV as I said in previous post. ANYWAY so remembering I was still getting a line on PG test though SOO faint I decided to buy two slightly better tests to try again. To my shock there are definite lines on them (especially bottom one which is FMU today) ??? The top one one teatime last night.

Here is what I don't get, how would i get smiley faces that then disappeared this morning and yet I seem to be getting slightly darker PG test, though still faint? Also strange thing is IC not really picking up anything apart from almost shadow line. I don't think the test below is that unnoticeable?

What worries me is maybe this is retained tissue from D and C 5 weeks ago? Would I really be getting positive test 5 weeks after? Also how could I be OVing if already PG? I honestly dont know what to think? In my head I go between

1. Im PG again
2. Retained tissue meaning will need more surgery ( My D and C was guided by scan though so I can't see how this could be right?

Also I have had negative tests too?

I have an appointment at EPAS tomorrow to discuss M/Cs and to get clotting jabs so can ask everything when I am down but kinda scared either way.

I DONT WANT TO GET MY HOPES UP! I honestly don't know WHAT to think?

Showed DH PG tests and he doesn't know what to think either??

Help xx

Thethomsons, I'm no OPK expert but from my understanding they can show a + when you're pregnant and some people do you them as well as hpts. Sooo based on this I think you must be pregnant again.

I think the next step is a blood test, can you ask for one tomorrow?

I hope you get what you want and this is IT!

[thethomsons]

What make me have more doubts is that my opk digital now lost smiley face so not showing positive, if this was new then surely digital smiley would stay positive?

 

[mannymoo]

Wow Elaine! This is confusing!! I think your best option is to stop all the testing and rather request a blood test tomorrow and one on Wednesday to see if it's doubling. If it doubling, it would def be a new preg. If it's going up but not doubling, I would say it's retained tissue. An if it's going down, well then I guess it's old. You must be so frustrated by now. Really hoping that it's a new and healthy pregnancy. That would be wonderful!

Fms today is cd 11. Hoping to get a pos opk on Tuesday. But could be anytime from Wednesday to Saturday.

Hope everyone else is doing great! X

 

[Laubull]

Sorry I completely missed the fact you now longer getting the smiley face! I'm confused!

I think Manny is right, you need some tests.

Manny I hope you get your + opk soon!

Hey ladies. Sorry I disappeared.... it's been a month where I just was feeling... bleh I guess.

Elaine - I agree with Mannymoo. I think you need to go in for a blood test on it to set your mind at ease. I know that it can take a while for HCG levels to drop but I do think it's wise to make SURE they have. The one explanation I can think of for why you would be getting the faint positive on the HPT but not on the OPK now is that if you do have enough HCG in your system to give you just that faint line, it might not be enough to register on the OPK, so you MAY have ovulated this weekend AND still had some HCG in your system. It's not common, but it can happen. I'd still very much recommend going in for a blood test though.

How's everyone else doing? I see there are new people since I last posted, so welcome to everyone new though I'm sorry you find yourself here.

AFM, I'm WTT right now and I'm 99% sure that I will be for the next 1-2 months as well. I had my MRI on Thursday (boy did THAT suck. I'll be thankful if I never have to have one again), but won't get any news until my RE gets back from vacation on Tuesday. Like I said though, I'm 99% positive that the answer is going to be that I have a septum and that we need to remove it. I got my copy of the HSG finally and they pointed to a septum (not wishy washy like "oh it could be this or it could be that" it said their overall impression was septated uterus and under findings said "Septated uterus is demonstrated with 2 distinct horns") and my u/s from last year said that I had a "sub-septus uterus" which is apparently a term for partial septate. Because of those two findings, I'm really wondering why we had to go through the time and expense of an MRI rather then just jumping to surgery. I'm a bit annoyed about that.

 

[mannymoo]

Oh Dodge - that does such. Can't believe you had to go through the whole MRI scan! How long will it be before you can have the surgery and how long do you have to wait afterwards before you start TTC again? On the up-side (if there is one..) at least you know what it is and can start taking steps to correct it. Really hope this is a quick process for you and that you're back up-and-running as quickly as possible!

Elaine - are you going to go for blood tests today? Let us know what happens...

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Thethomsons... Thats a pretty good Pregnancy test line!!! for 5 weeks Past d&c i was still having positives at this point, but there were just shadowy somethings, then within a few days it got darker and darker!! to the point i knew i was pregnant again. I never did get a negative!!!

When you Miscarry and use opks's there arent proved to be effective, one day there can be positive the next there can be negative... there can jump all over the place... OPK's arent fool proof and the digitals ive found to be worse!, there can pick up HCG, LH and also turn positive when your period is due lol... If you implanted the other day when you were getting the smiley's im guessing your body must of been sending out some chemical to make it positive...

My friend was testing her LH levels and 7 days after she started getting OPK+'s again but then a day later went negative so she was confused when exactly she ovulated. But it turns out that shes pregnant and the opk was picking up implantation

To me your Pregnant, those tests are too dark and the fact you have had negatives... and for the reasons ive just explained regarding your OPK's. Deffo arrange for some betas, which i think your doctor would advise in any case.. also to me it looks like you have progression!!!... i bet if you took a digital now it would be positive!!!

Congrats
