Ok...thanks
I won't be doing opks just praying!
Perfect!! I will too! :) :pray: :pray: :pray:
Thanks. Definitely need it! ��
I feel like a lunatic.
I'm testing to see whether this line will disappear.
Such a tease but yesterday's line and today's is so different. Attachment 40136
I'm scared to test again to be again disappointed thinking it could possibly be real :(Attachment 40137
I honestly think that if it's getting darker after having been lighter we do need to call in the big guns (doctor) to see what's going on. Having retained tissue can cause infections that can cost you your uterus or rarely even your life and I am just not liking how long this has hung on here. I feel like if it is a new pregnancy the test will be getting darker (and it may be a new pregnancy, jsut that it's not dark enough for me to count on that) but this back and forth very faint lines is worthy of more investigation.
Yes I agree. Something is definitely going on. I will call on Monday. Im just so frustrated. I'll test again tomorrow.
Please keep me posted how you're getting on and let me know if you have any more questions about anything they're telling you. :heart:
I will, for sure. I'm just so confused like would I know if I had an infection or retained tissue still? Can retained tissue cause HCG to go up I don't even know anything?
No, you don't usually know. I had a massive amount of retained tissue after giving birth once (sorry for TMI) but it was larger than a lemon, smaller than an orange and the baby was 3 months old! I didn't know it was there, didn't have an infection or anything, felt perfectly fine, just felt a sudden sharp pain and then there it was. We've also had a few people who had to go back for a second D and C even after some months had passed, and one unlucky woman had to have a 3rd. Just the exact same set of circumstances, pregnancy test never went away. They didn't feel sick or crampy, just kept getting positive pregnancy tests.
Retained tissue CAN keep HCG high. It's not likely to make it go up, but we have seen some utterly bizarre things occur with retained tissue so I wouldn't count anything out. I think at this stage of the game we can't know what is going on and so we need to be able to take a closer look.
Wow, so crazy.
Thanks for all the info. I do what to figure out what is going on.
Thanks again for all of your wisdom.
I will keep you posted
Gosh maybe it's these tests. I took a frer and dont really swe any thing. They'll probably think I'm nuts.
Should I still.make an appt you think if Frer is negative?
Attachment 40152
FRER is supposed to be the most sensitive test there is and if that is negative then I'd consider those other tests to be ghost lines (although that one test really did look faint positive)
I've turned my laptop every which way and I'm not seeing any line on the FRER.
I know I have looked at it every which way and I do not see a line whatsoever! So maybe those tests, they are 88cents from Walmart are giving lines. They do have pink but nada on frer. I hate to waste money on an appt but my cycle.is late and I will see what they say cause I will.still call tomorrow. Maybe they.have a time limit.to wait.for my period returning since I have already had one cycle. Maybe it was just break through bleeding though. Gosh....I just really want to ovulate!!!!
Yeah I know exactly what you mean - you go in there and they're like "why are you here" and then you wonder why you wasted the money. :/ I do suspect now given this additional info about the tests that it's just dodgy tests. But they may be willing to give you something to kickstart your period. No guarantees, of course, but people are often given something to start their cycles in this case. Just be sure you haven't had unprotected sex for 14 days plus a negative pregnancy test before starting the medication.
Ok thanks Atomic!!!!
So I ordered opk just to see if anything was going on. I have no symptoms whatsoever , no cm, no high cervix..etc.
One last night and one today. Do they both look positive? It's been so long since I've used them. I am waiting for my doc to call me because I am on CD 36. Can I possibly O now?Attachment 40196
Yes you absolutely can O on CD 36! Happens all the time!! Attempt if at all possible!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
We did Wed! Then took opk a d was positive.
But I'm ready to throw the towel in.
3rd day of pos opk!
Im over it!
Attachment 40198
It's probably just taking the LH a little time to leave your system. FXFXFX!
I have never had an opk be positive for so long.
My body must be really out of whack.
Still looks positive today right?
Attachment 40202
It's drying so pos again.Attachment 40203
What's going on you think? Maybe my body just can't get it together right now
It's just frustrating.
Sorry it's like an annoying never ending saga..lol
My advice is have another attempt to cover in case the first rush of the LH surge didn't trigger ovulation. This actually happens to tons of people, it's a regular event around here LOL.
Let's just think of it this way, your body just wants to make really really sure that egg gets released. :)
Will definitely try!!!!
I can't even attempt to temp because sleep is pretty nonexistent over here.
FX!
I hear that! Good luck!!!
Sorry I'm posting again. I'm just really annoyed. Picked up a dollar tree opk and compared.
Maybe I never even had a surge :( cry :( cry
Attachment 40225
Why do you say that?
Oh sorry when I replied the pic wasn't showing up.
Remember I want you to go off the first OPK of any brand that shows pos. This is because some brands are sensitive and pick up surges that are less strong than some other brands detect.
We can never know - even if you tested with 10 different brands of OPK and they all show positive - if any surge is truly positive or if it's false pos. So we're no worse off than we were, really, although I know it's nervewracking to not know what's going on - honestly we NEVER know what's going on. Those pesky OPK really are bargain basement technlology but unfortunately they're the best we got.
The dollar tree opk is neg. Does the other one look positive?
Yes I know what you mean. I have just been going with the flow with DH but these are stressing me out.
Gotta leave it in God's hands or else I'm going to lose my mind! Lol
We've been consistent with every 4 day so we'll see
Thanks for being patient with this!!
Remember, 99.99% of all the babies ever born were before the invention of OPK. All you need is regular BD and it's all good. :) You got this!
I know right!! We have access to way too many things in this world we live in today!!
Anyways, seems to be fading I.hopeAttachment 40227

Looks like it - keep me posted!! FXFXFX!!!
I will for sure!
After all this I think AF might be coming, I have a really bad lower back ache! I just hope it doesn't come back with a vengeance!:(
I just don't remember having a backache like this before��
Oh boo I'm sorry to hear this - keeping FX for good news though.
So I think I may have a uti/kidney infection. Really bad low back pain. I thought AF was coming but no bleeding yet. I even took tylenol last night because I couldn't sleep. I have never experienced this with any period. Temp.was a little elevated this morning. I'm sure I will get antibiotics but it is possible I "could" be preggo. Probably not but never kmow. Do u know if there are safe ones in case?
