TTC Buddies :)

[Frodi]

Hi! I'm new here and this is my first time to join a group here on the Internet. I live happily with my boyfriend and we have been trying to conceive since October 2012. I've been getting anxious because every month that passes, makes me think " this will be the month." Just earlier, (May 14, 2013 at around 7 pm) I took a pregnancy test and it was a FAINT POSITIVE.. This makes me anxious because I really wanted a clear test result to ease my anxiety.

I hope someone can help me get out of this "funk." My first day of my last period was on April 12, 2013 and I had sex with my boyfriend on April 30, 2013. I am supposedly ovulating because I am on the 32 day cycle.

Am I pregnant? I just want to be so bad! I'm staring at the test and I don't know what to make of the faint line.

Welcome to the thread!! Hope you get your BFP!! This is a great group of gals who are super supportive!! Good luck on your results! your way

I am annoyed bc I don't have any more pee tests!! I want to test again. I had a TON of cm mixed with left over progesterone that was tinged peach-- it's the first time I got peach tinged progesterone discharge but I have heard other women say they get it---not sure if that implantation spotting or my cervix being irritated and bleeding a little---ahhhh please call me back doctors office!! Although if it's implantation then the bloods will be negative anyway

Hi ladies. Just got my tests in the mail and I took 2 of them!! Haha they are the red dye ones. They are definitely BFN! but the opk has a faint 2nd line. What does that mean?
Also, dr's haven't called yet, so I think I might give them a call today, even though I feel annoying calling them!
Temps gone up again! So I guess what's a good sign. When you've o'd your temp goes down right?

Opks have faint second lines cycle round for women because there's always a little lh in our system...but don't feel annoying calling them! I did and it wasn't so bad! She said she'll have the dr call me back. Just bite the bullet and do it I'm sure there's more annoying women than us in the world hehehe

Also, high temps are good---when you ovulate your temp goes up---pre o temps are lower..so if they've been higher since o and are staying high it's a good sign they drop if you're not preg and then af starts---the extra progesterone is what keeps the temps elevated

hcg beta is negative

Because of the similarity of hCG and LH at the molecular level, ovulation tests can detect pregnancy as well. The difference between hCG and LH is a beta subunit attached to the hCG. The website peeonastick.com illustrates the difference by describing LH and hCG as identical twins. The difference between them is that hCG is wearing a hat and LH is not. So the ovulation test will turn positive when it detects either one of the identical twins. But because pregnancy tests are also looking for the hat on the twin, a pregnancy test will not turn positive during ovulation. So if you are pregnant, an ovulation test will turn positive.



if your are pregnant and test with a ovulation test it will turn POSITIVE right away . a faint line is just the LH in your urine . they say we ALWAYS have that in our urine no matter what reason why we always get some type of faint line if your using the test and not ovulating .

Ovulation sticks will generally have a faint line on them. Most say that opk with no line before the control line means its invalid. 2 lines, but the control being darker means its negative. And two lines, with the test line being as dark or darker as the control line means a positive. Keep testing with your opks and see if it gets any darker as you never know you might just be gearing up to ovulate.

Although, regarding the temping. Yes, temps will be higher after ovulation and will stay elevated if pregnant. If your AF is on its way, your temps will usually drop the day of or the day before, and AF will start. If your pregnant, temps will stay elevated i think. Although, around ovulation your temps will dip slightly for around 3 days and then go right up to signal ovulation had passed. Also around implantation your temps will usually dip slightly and then go back up.

hcg beta is negative

Oh i'm so sorry! But like you said, if your only just implanting now, then your tests would have been neg anyways. Leave it like 2 or 3 days and test again! I think thats how long it takes for the HCG to build up.

are you sure you didnt just o this past weekend?

awww im sorry love . your not out till AF shows .

thanks. yeah I just dont want to go thru the disappointment twice--once right now and then again in 3 days when I test and its negative. I am going to assume this month is a bust and just stay on the progesterone and test again ad 14 dpo just to be safe. I kind of had a feeling when my 9 dpo/10 dpo tests werent a clear positive--the past two bfps I knew by then. I know every preg is different, but I have only been preg twice and both times I found out at the exact same time. I know 10 dpo can possibly be a little early for bloods as well if I implanted late, but I guess the chances of a bfp this month are pretty low at this point.

it sucks doing everything..timing it, temping, taking vitamins...and then nothing i think what makes me more upset is thinking about the long road ahead of this cycle..and now with the progesterone my cycles are much longer..so if i stop the prog in 3 days, I prob wont get my period until 8 or 9 days from now...and then it will be another 21 days till i ovulate..and 14 more days till I see yet another bfn. i cant do this anymore

 

[brandonsgirl]

Oh huni, i feel for you i really do! But you still have all of us on here, that will support you and help you through the long times

I'm sorry to hear about your results Mah. Mine came back neg also. I just called them. :'(
But I was half expecting it. I was irregular before I started the pill so my doctor thinks I'm going to return back to that cycle.

but I thought I would post the pics of the tests I took today, because I'm not 100% sure how to read the opk.

are you sure you didnt just o this past weekend?

My app that I follow said that yesterday was suppose to be my O day... So I don't know. I haven't had any kind of ewcm since last month.

 

[Cutler101]

I dont see a line and the line on the ovulation doesn't mean anything its just the LH surge that us females always have in our urine . Did you read my post why you can still get a faint line one a ovulation test & not be pregnant ???

Yeah Cutler, I did read it. I just wanted another set of eyes to take a look at what I was looking at.
But not BFP for me this month.

So, with opk do you do a test every pee during your ovulation period?

 

[Cutler101]

if you have ovulation test strips you test once at 12pm and then once again at 8pm but if you have the digi then you can test whenever ive heard the test strips give false positives reason why some ladies test twice a day . i usually test from CD12-CD16 . thats cause i know ill ovulate CD14/15 .

 

[Cutler101]

Any of you ladies have sore itchy boobs coming off the pill ?? the first two weeks being off i was fine till the end of the week now my boobs are itchy and a little sore and idk why . its KILLING ME !!!!!

 

[Frodi]

Yeah I do!!
That's why I thought I may have been pregnant. My boobs have been uber sensitive since I've stopped taking the pill.

And thanks for the helpful ovulation tips.
