You are definitely pregnant, GirlieCat! Happy and healthy 9 months!! :)
Awww bless girliecat!! And to answer your question - no, the opk is picking up 'your pregnant', not 'your having a lh surge'.
Its so exciting and special seeing that first bfp!!! Congratulations again!! Cant wait for some more pics as the days go on to watch the progression! Enjoy this beautiful feeling and have you told dh yet!!???

No Pbn, hubby is at work right now in a meeting. Not really text message type of announcement. I am thinking wait till I test tomorrow morning, then plan a cute way to tell him tomorrow. Thank you again. Amen for every 3-4 days since I never got a +OPK.
Sorry I hijacked the thread. I am going back to read everything I missed now.
Jenny, my AF has been only a day or two the last 8.5 months off birth control. Last month was shortest ever and I had actual blood flow for no more than 12 hours and from first spotting to done and clean was hardly 24 hours. I told my doctor this time and time again and she didn't seem to think it was any big deal (I disagreed). I hope your doc can give you better answers or direction.Quote:

How wonderful GirlieCat! I'm so excited for you and am keeping you in my thoughts. :) So when is your due date? :D
GirlieCat! Omg! Yay!
To answer your question, LH tests will be positive in the presence of HCG but not the other way around. :)
Yay GirlieCat! Congrats on your pregnancy! [emoji175]
Fantastic news girlie cat!!!
You give me some hope with the whole short period thing:worry:
Congratulations xxx

Nice line MrsSparkles, congrats!!
Congrats Girlie Cat!
Congrats Mrs sparkles
Congrats MrsSparkles! :)
GirlieCat, one is older than me and the other is younger. The older one has had infertility problems in the past when she ttc her dd1 and dd2. Then the flood gates opened and she had 3 more kids without any problems. She's turning 40 in a few days. She's giving in one last try to get dc6. My other sister is younger (31) and gay, so she is using donor sperm.
I didn't ever have a problem ttc before I had my tubes tied. Since they've been reversed, it's been a different story. If I could go back in time, I never would have had them tied. I would have had DH get his tied. He's a big baby and was afraid of the pain, so I had a major surgery rather than his 5 min one. I'm a little bitter if you didn't notice. Lol! I don't think we'd be having anywhere near the problems ttc that we're having now if we had reversed a vasectomy but you can't change the past.
Pbn, I'm also concerned about getting pregnant at the same time as them and then miscarrying but them carrying to full term. It honestly has me considering skipping this cycle since I know they'll both be trying. :(
Definately don't skip this cycle momamia!! You will always wonder if you do if this might've been 'the' one? Try and put your sisters' ttc efforts out of your mind as hard as it will be as they will probably be ringing all the time lol :)
And you have to try this cycle because its my first cycle back lol!!! I have no illusions of getting a bfp first cycle back trying 😂 but you just never know, stranger things have happened and maybe the universe will decide its our turn after all xxoo

True Pbn. I would always wonder. Plus I'm not sure how long DH will want to continue. I'm not thinking he's going to be too keen after we skip a cycle and he sees how much less stressed we both are. Lol! I'm trying to be more laid back about it but we just don't normal dtd that often anymore. I have to add attempts which I am generally not too excited about (iykwim) and he hates it when we dtd out of necessity rather than having a fun element to it.
Huge congrats sparkles!! 😁Quote:

Congratulations to you ladies with BFP. How exciting!!
I am currently DPO6 according to my calculations and I feel pregnant. I have no idea what's going on. I don't even think it's possible to "feel" pregnant yet! I have massive cramping on my lower right side (all day yesterday) that I only get when pregnant. I'm having vivid dreams... again only while pregnant... and my breasts are sore.
I sure hope it's not my body playing tricks.
When do you guys test? Every other pregnancy I tested 5 days before expected period and got a solid 2 lines. That puts my testing day to next Monday..
I hate the 2ww!

Momamia, l don't have any sisters regretfully but bet it's not simple, the situation you described but l would not skip this cycle, you just never know!
Robin my fingers are crossed for you!! I'm 3dpo but it's hard here to get good hpts before af is supposed to show since most just do a blood hcg test because they are free. I will continue to search.. Or use the opks l have left :)
Last month my breasts were sore, had creamy cm, nausea etc and l was sure l had a bfp, even thought my pre af spotting was implantation spotting... This month our attempt was better timed, but my breasts don't hurt (and they always do during my tww!) and lve dried up since ovulation.. BUT on the other hand my ds yesterday told me suddenly out of the blue he knows l have a dd in my belly and he definitely does not know we are trying! I really believe in kids senses.. Hope his are heightened!
You women are simply amazing, very happy to have found this place!

Thank you everyone !
I just got back from the hospital, they called today to make an appointment for next week.
Told them I was pregnant and they wanted me in today.
Seems that they have two tests for me saying I am low in antithrombin iii - I asked them if it was accurate as last time it was a mix up of results at my GP.
They got me to come in and do another test and yup...I am low.
So now I am on 40mg of Clexane twice a day - shots in the stomach.
They say this could help reduce the risk of another MC and of a DVT, sadly we didn't have time to wait until 6 weeks to make sure baby is not ectopic (which they like to do).
Feel fine after my first shot, just nervous as I know it can cause bleeding .
FX for you MrsSparkles!! :) I'm sure everything will be fine.
My younger sister's IUI just got canceled for this month. Although she got an LH surge, her dominant follicle was only 10.5mm and her lining was only 7mm. I think she has pcos but they haven't come out and told her that. Now I'm going to feel like a jerk if I get pregnant this cycle. Dang it. Why do they have to tell me things? I wish they'd just keep their ttc stuff to themselves.
Why should you feel like a jerk ?Quote:

Momamia- you have no reason to feel like a jerk or guilty or anything. Think how cool it will be if you do all get pregnant around the same time and the babies always have cousins their age. I know that is easy to say but I also know how my relationship is with my 4 sisters and 2 of them are my best friends and I would be so happy to be doing this together, the other two I am not as close with and 1 of those two I would not want to share this journey with so thankfully she is older than me and done having kids. It is natural to feel all sorts of emotions especially when you just want so badly to be pregnant yourself with your much wanted daughter. I really really hope this is your cycle moma. I want this for you so badly.
Sparkles, glad they at least caught it early and hoping it helps. So excited to be DD buddies.
AFM- Did another internet cheapie and FRER with FMU and both were positive so I think it is sinking in now that this might actually be real. I am still in shock since I was so confused by my cycle this month and if O was early and I missed it or late and hadn't happen yet (I know now it was early) :happy:
What is the window of time that I need to be worried that this could just be a chemical? Should I be getting blood HCG levels checked at some point or is that only for ladies going through true infertility treatments?
Thank you to everyone for the congratulations and support. I don't know what I would do without this group. You are all so amazing.
I am so happy for you Girlie Cat !
And I second what you said to Momamia - would love it if she joins us in the DD thread yay
Thank you so much MrsSparkles and GirlieCat! :) I really appreciate everything you both said. I'm going to attempt this cycle and hope things work out for me. I know that I can't control how they feel and I know they definitely wouldn't skip a cycle for me (I actually them to skip the cycle they'd be due in August since that's the birth month of my DS3 who passed away, and they both said no), so I'm going to go for it. I'm feeling super bloated, so I'm thinking I'm going to ovulate early again this cycle. I think I'm going to start opk testing tonight.
GirlieCat, typically with a chemical, your test line doesn't get as dark as yours already is. So, I don't think it'll be a problem. I think you're generally out of the water for a chemical a few days to a week after your period would have been due. Since you ovulated early, I would count out 4 weeks from the start of your last period and call that when you should start your next period. That's what a doctors office would do. You should also call your OB and let them know you just had a positive pregnancy test. They'll base everything off of your LMP and will have you come in based on that. I would tell them that you have irregular cycles, so you are not sure when you ovulated or how far along you really are. That will sometimes make them get you in a little sooner. In the past, my OB's never gave me my hcg test results, so if you want to know make sure you ask. They'll most likely have you go in for an early dating ultrasound too. I'm so excited for you! :)
I think when talking about chemical pregnancies it's important to recognize them for what they are- very early losses. When we say CP there can be a kind of disconnect where we feel like they weren't "real" pregnancies. Not that that has any bearing on your question, GirlieCat. :)
I hope no one felt that is what I was saying foxtrotmama. I was only trying to explain how they typically occur. I'm very sorry if anyone felt that I was saying anything else. I'm not always very good at explaining things.
Congratulations to all of you who've gotten bfps! October is definitely living up to the name 'Overabundant'! Fx for those of you who are still in the 2ww. I'm on cd5 now, so I've got a little ways to go before our attempt.
Congrats Mrs Sparkles
AFM: I was starting to freak out because my temp didn't jump until a day or 2 later than normal but it finally jumped yesterday morning. It was just very strange since I had a trigger shot on Friday evening. I have been testing out my trigger this cycle, I did IC tests on Tuesday and Wednesday and plan to test again tomorrow morning. Really thought the lines would be darker than what they are, but hopefully at some point I will see it darken for a true BFP.
Yay Tfahn! I'm hoping to see your tests darken up too!!

Sooo, AF is either 5-7 days late :/ I had a BFN 4 days ago. I have not tested again. My temp dipped yesterday, so I thought AF was coming. No spotting. Nothing. I had some cramping yesterday and this morning. I do feel ick, and I have been known, on occasion, to feel this way right before AF shows up.
I'll test again tomorrow, maybe? Could my temp dip yesterday be implantation? It seems late for that, right? I may wait and test Monday morning in case I did have a temp dip. Ugh. I'm glad for a long LP, but this is getting a bit ridiculous! Thanks. Clomid [emoji849]!
