Oh, jenc!!! :bighug: I hope everything turns out ok for you!!!
Hi Jenc8060- I really hope it stick for you and your numbers keep getting better. Is that the only way they know if you had a chemical? I mean you get a positive at first but then blood draw shows numbers decreasing? Everyone talks about chemicals but I don't fully understand them.
I am Very confused by your numbers Jen... Blood draw at 20 was 90 but if you got a clear blue result today that said 3+ your numbers are way higher than that. Has to be like 3600+ to get that reading
edit: okay i get it now. You get the 2-3 reading that means you are 4-5 weeks pregnant. i know where you are coming from now! thats good. to get that you need at least 160. i would guess from that Jen that your numbers will have doubled :)
Keeping everything crossed for you jenc!
So am cd 17 and i the i either missed ovulation or my body bailed on me, both clear blue fertility monitor and cb digital opks not detecting estrogen surge, high on the clear blue and flashing smilie on the digital OPK. I had a temp spike yesterday so thought maybe today but no. Temp down today. I think I have not eaten enough this week, do you think if my body bailed on me that if I increased my food intake it might try to ovulate later in the week, this happened in June and I ovulated around day 21? Many thanks x
Well, August was not that amazing for me. The bloody red witch (AF) has arrived today. Moving forward to September. Guess my body need some rest after my MC last month. I am not depressed about it. Hopefully I have a another chance of catching the golden egg next month.
XX, how did it go with your attempt? It must be frightening to know this is the last time TTC. And not being able to get your hopes up for a new baby. I really admire your attitude. This swaying proces is so exhausting and time consuming. So I am sure you are doing the right thing when you decide to focus on your 3 cute little boys. They need you. I wish I could also just pull the plug too and calm down with my family as it is. How will you protect yourself from getting pg in the future? FX that this is your sticky month.
By the way what does SMEP stands for?
Thank you! We didn't end up having an attempt, because my DS3 was having a tough time cutting his first tooth last night. I'm getting to a place more and more as time has gone on with me not getting pregnant, that my family feels complete. I also don't like to force things and TTCing has become to feel like I'm trying to "force" another little being into our lives, especially with my DH not 100% wanting a 4th child. He's doing this for me, which I'm grateful for, but at the same time I want to be respectful of his feelings too.Quote:

SMEP stands for sperm meets egg plan- you BD three days in a row when you get your first positive opk (not the darkest), take the 4 night or morning off, then BD again the 5th morning or night.

Jen, I know how awful it can be to wait for the results of those numbers.
Sending you lots of hugs, and hoping for a good outcome.
So....I got a Positive on my OPK today, which is weird, because by my calculations that is 4 days early for ovulation.
Also my Cm was not egg whitey....so perhaps it's a false result on Clearblue.
Hubs was home so we DTD twice today.
Interesting, MrsSparkles. Are you temping?
Sparkles what did your lines look like on the strip after you took it out... I had a false positive and one of the ways I know it was false is the hormone line was very light. When I had a genuine positive the line was super dark
Hi Momamia - not temping, as I find it all a bit confusing.
Going to take a look at the test now.....
Yup it's really faint, so definitely a false positive.
I did think it was strange that there were no other signs

I ovulated 8 days after my false surge ( 3 days after my real and super positive OPK) so be on the look out for EWCM and o pains :)
Jen - keeping my fx that your numbers are increasing as they should be.
Girlie - it sounds like maybe you haven't ovulated yet seeing that your temp is down again. Hopefully it is not too far away for you.
Dreamsister - sorry the witch came, hopefully next month is better.
Xx - I'm hopeful for you this cycle. I understand where you are at. I have bought forward our end date for ttc to next month. I have too many hpts still to call it quits this month & this is our first month of letting go of shettles timing so kind of want to give it another month if unsuccessful this month. On the other hand though I feel the pressure that ttc has put on DH & our relationship. It has taken a toll on both of us. We lead such busy lives & I am starting to wonder more about adding to the stress & chaos especially as my DH too is doing this just for me. He has even started talking about possibly getting a vasectomy once we have finished ttc which is something that he never wanted to do previously as he used to feel like he would be loosing his "manhood". I have told him I will not be getting my tubes tied. I have had 3 cesareans & don't want anymore operations, it's his turn now.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Today (22 DPO) has been so weird/confusing. This morning I got my darkest pregnancy test to date on the Wondolfo cheapie (both lines were nearly the same color) and another 2-3 on the Clearblue Advanced w/Weeks estimator (so 4-5 weeks pg). However, I started lightly spotting a few hours ago (light brown) and have some mild cramping. I go in for my 2nd blood draw tomorrow morning so I probably won't know the results until Friday. If I am having a miscarriage why in the heck did I get my strongest positives on the tests earlier today? This process is maddening and I have been on such an emotional roller the last few days coaster :tissue::tissue:
So sorry jenc! Don't lose hope yet. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

So sorry jenc8060 you are experiencing anxiety about this. In July after my first TTC-attempt I got very clear BFP for five or six full weeks in a row although my HCG numbers did not double as it should. It turned out I have had a chemical that turned into a missed abortion. My body thought it was pregnant and kept producing HCG-hormone up until 43.000 which is quiet high. You can test positive with just a HCG-number of only 5. I am not saying that the same thing is happening to you. Just saying that one can have a strong second line even when you are in the middle of a MC. FX you'll get good news from your blood draw today. Big hug.
I'm sorry, jenc. Ttc is so stressful. The whole process is crazy! I honestly can't believe anybody does it. FX you get good numbers!!!
I'm hoping your numbers are high, and you have a sticky bean growing in there jenc!!
Huge hugs!!

Jen- this could be the twin loss we were talking about. You would spot and bleed from that I would think but the other should be fine... You aren't out entirely yet and it can be good that your tests are getting darker despite the hcg I think the kind of chemical described would be the worst case scenario right now and not sure that's what you are dealing with yet... Fx for you hon, that your numbers are where they should be
Sorry you're dealing with this jenc, hope you numbers today look good. So stressful, but stay strong! Many people have bleeding and a sticky bean!

Sorry that was meant to say still only high on the clear blue fertility monitor, that is from testing this morning! X
Jen - how does it go with your numbers and all? Sorry, I did not mean to scare you with my story, just wanted to say that one should not pay too much attention to the darkness of the second line. Fx this is your sticky bean.

Anymore news Jen ?
Jenc posted in the new Spectacular September 2WW that her numbers dropped and she is losing the pregnancy. Very sad ☹️.
I'm still hanging around here even though I am not swaying anymore. I'm 8dpo today and 2 BFNs already. I told myself I wouldn't test early, but, I have no self control.
It's so weird. I had THREE attempts in the fertile window - was doing just one (swaying pink)...and I STILL can't get pregnant.
Maybe something is wrong???

Hey you, good to hear from you, most of us were unsuccessful last month so we moved on to September, post called spectular Sept! Don't know about something been wrong but atomic has said to me that sometimes it is just not the month, even with good timing! XQuote:

8dpo is still early Lissastick. Hold out for a few more days. I have promised myself this time I will not test until 14dpo and I am going to do everything in my power to be strong because I completely agree that testing too early is just too much of a heart break each day. How many cycles have you been trying?Quote:

What do you guys think?
Attachment 32875
This is inverted...
Attachment 32876
I don't see any second line but I know they photograph bad.
I think I may see a hint of a line on the first pic. I don't see anything when it is inverted.

Thanks ladies!
I pretty sure it was an evaporate or something, even though I see the faintest color. I took 3 diff kinds (FRED not an FRER and 2 diff cassette kinds) and all pretty neg maybe a faint faint line on one cassette but again probably an evap.
Still no AF, I'm officially late as of the 1st or just O'd late again ������ (which I continued opks and never got anothe pos).
Good luck everyone!
Low HCG is more common in boys or girl? Or is this totally debunked?
I had low HCG with DS2 and crazy high levels with DS3. I mean, they were so high that they thought I was having 3-5 babies! It was 23,000something at 21dpo!
