TTC After A Loss... Race for the BFP! - 211 BFP's!!!

[Fairybabe]

Hey TTCstill, your chart does look good i have to say. With the OPK sticks, my experience is that tehy are totally blank, then towards ov, gradually get pinker and darker, then fades again pretty quick after ov. And go totally negative. This month, when my cheapie prego tests had faded from positive to negative, out of curiosity i used an opk, and it was showing a pink line (indicating i had some hcg left) even wehn the prego tests had gone back negative already.
So what i'm trying to say is, that if they are normally totally negative for you before ov time, adn after ov time, if they go pink now, it's prob a good sign.

However I totally understand why you want to hold out. How long is your LP normally?

Okay so I know I said that I did not have anymore tests and wasnt going to test anymore but my temps are still high and it is unusual for them to not have started to drop by now if AF was on her way........ I read somewhere the OV tests will pick up pregnancy but dont we always have some LH hormone in our urine????? I really want to go get a test but I shouldn't get my hopes up it could be devastating!

Yes, we always have LH in our urine... at least some. An ov test would have to be positive to mean anything, and there's also an LH surge just before AF shows... So, unless you have confirmed that you are pregnant, ov tests just aren't the way to go! You need to do a real HPT if you really think you should test. I think it sounds promising, but I won't push you to test. Just do what you're comfortable with!

Oooh meg, i didn't know about the extra LH surge before AF. You learn something new every day!

 

[Megg33k]

Indeed! Its not usually enough to make an ov test go positive... but it can make one get pretty dark. I'm sure someone has seen one go positive just before AF if they were testing... So, its something to watch for. I've seen a lot of people use OPKs as HPTs and end up very sad when one looked a lot better than the other, iykwim?

Here is my opk from this morning...... I can normally see a very faint line when I am not close to OV so this seems unusual..... I have never tried to take one as a sign of PG and I am not wanting to get my hopes up..... what do you all think? Should I go get a test?

I had possitive opks for my last two pregnancies so if I was you I would get a test xx

OKay i went and bought an answer brand test (the same one I used in May) very faint BFP!!!!! I am scared.... and I am not sure if I can get it on a pic or not but I will try

 

[tryforbaby2]

Ooooh congrats!!!

 

[ttcstill]

I am not getting my hopes up just yet guys.... too many disappointments and the fact that it is barely showing positive is alarming........ I will call my doctor and try to get in to have bloods drawn

 

[ttcstill]

no luck getting a picture So I guess I will need to wait and see....... I used TMU and I have had 3 cups of coffee so it is likely diluted

BUT I am thinking if its this faint at 13DPO and my normal lp is 10-14 with and average of 12 then it should already be more positive and with my last pregnancy I got my BFP at 10 DPO and I could see the line very well soooooo................................

 

[Tigerlilies]

Over thinking it hun, but I hope it is a BFP!

 

[ttcstill]

okay here are a couple of the pics I took.... I think I should have just went to hte doctor..... I am driving myself mad!

 

[dawny690]

Maybe its faint due to the fact of weak diluted wee hun try again with fmu tomorrow xxxx

Thanks CJ. I've been better, funnily enough. Physically, not bad, cos being so early this time it wasn't as dramatic, more of a super heavy period. Emotionally though, i just feel totally beat up. I had so many people tell me "oh one m/c, so common, no reason your next preg won't be just fine" and i worked really hard on myself to get my head around that and feel positive. I wasn't even feeling that anxuous at first with the 2nd preg, cos in my mind the 10wk mark was the issue. But now even getting to 5wks is an issue it seems. So i just feel really teary and flat and so heartbroken for both losses. And scared about it happening again. Just waiting to see what suggestions the doc comes up wit on fri, and take it from there. Any more test results re your m/cs?

Thanks for asking.

I so understand how you feel about peoples comments... oh one mc.... 2.... imagine how much I want to punch peoples heads in when they say that after 6 miscarriages I will have a normal pregnancy!! You are doing great though already with the doctor. It took me years to get help! And even now I am fighting like hell to get answers. I doubt I will be back with the specialist before 4 months!!

I tried to speed up my ultrasound and they blew me off saying I was a fucking routine case!! I'm bloody tampin!!! ROUTINE!!!!!! WTF!!!!!! My bloods I would have to wait another 2 weeks for!!! So I am trying to get my GP to do it as they can access the clinical records from the surgery. I am ringing back at 4pm. At least if I can get them its a start.

Stupid thing is I feel like I am pregnant, which I know is not possible. I think my head is messed up after being forced to have that smeat last week. I havent felt right since. Had really bad backache and some major twinges on my right side. OV isnt due till next week??? So dont know where my head is at. My temp is low so I know I cant be pregnant, but I keep dreaming about it, and also dreamt about a positive pregnancy test. The other unbelievably weird thing is that I feel like my first baby is going to be a girl! My first miscarriage I know in my gut was a girl, but the women in my family always lose boys, my last miscarriage the psychic I used said that I lost a boy.... then she said I would have a bfp in september and that would be a boy too... but that never happened.

OK I sound like a freak now LOL!

Doodar, I am so very sorry for your loss hunni!! You will have a lot of support here and as you can see by my ramblings, the girls will put up with a lot!! We are here for you. I cant believe your work are such tossers! I'd get a union rep if I were you. Dont let this get out of hand. You suffered a bereavement, they should be more sensitive about this!

 

[CJSG1977]

TTCSTILL!!!! I'm trying to hold my excitement but a bfp is a bfp... and I agree, it could be diluted urine! Which could make a firm positive if you do another test!!!

 

[ttcstill]

So am I crazy or can u see the line I see

 

[roonsma]

So, Rach... Are you finding out which team you're on? Or not so much?

Hey Megg, no we're on team yellow!! I nearly wobbled at my scan and asked but glad i didn't now. x

Hugs to Doodar, i'm hoping your Doc has been understanding

ttcstill, i'm not sure sweetheart-possibly. I'm sorry i wish i could say a def yes but i would hate to be wrong. Test in the morning and i'm hoping its a BFP for you-GOOD LUCK xx

Hi to all xx

 

[Fairybabe]

TTCstil. I think i can just about see something in the pics, especially the one on the left It's like the start of a line.
Those darn tests drive us girls crazy. Maybe go to your doc and get your bloods done, that's way more conclusive. Or test wtih FMU tomorrow.
Good luck!!

Congrats to BFPs!
TTCstill...I invereted the pics and It is reallyhard to tell. YIu can see the start of the faintest line maybe though. Dont get involved with "it should be daker" though. A line is a line. One time we had a barley visable faint, yet the bloods were ironically 383 like my name on here. Im hopin for you!!!
