I'm sorry to hear this :( I honestly would wait and take the progesterone for a few more days to encourage your body to have a stronger Ovulation and longer LP.Quote:

Good morning ladies.
Robin, I'm so sorry girl. I can't imagine how disappointed you are feeling. FX for you for next cycle.
Pbn3 here is my chart as requested yesterday after my temp fiasco. Yesterday, I went with my 1st temp (the lowest one) and today I am back up.

Robin honey :( what if you were only 8-9 Dpo in reality? It's possible your hcg just hasn't had a chance to double yet if baby just implanted... I don't want to give you false hope but I also don't want you to do something you may regret...maybe give it another day or two and retest? If you get a darker line I'd call the nurse back for a redraw.. with the understanding you may have been off on your DPO a day or two..but if your gut says there is no hope and it was a chemical again then you do what you gotta do to feel better. -big hugs-
Cosmo looking forward to your test tomorrow... Xx
Cosmo, I'm excited to see your tests over the next few days. I know I've seen shadows/faint lines on your tests so far!

Didn't want to disappoint, so I spent my morning trying every trick that I could think of to be able to capture what I see without needing to tweak anything (minus inverting). I think there was divine intervention because I'm one stubborn lady and I would have wasted my whole day on this. :rofl::rofl::rofl: You didn't think I would actually take a break did you??
The results were as I suspected. I needed soft light, coming from above. SO I climbed onto my bathroom sink to get underneath the perfect light lol. I was only able to capture a couple of shots because the phone automatically adjusts for lighting, it was so frustrating. But I got them.
The one at the top is SMU, the one at the bottom is FMU. Middle is my blazing OPK from CD19 LOL.
I hope I have provided good entertainment. XD
ETA: I understand the photo was taken after the "window", but I assure you, these are the darkest ones so far and even then, I'm certain I injured my eyesight today. They look much more clear captured on photo because they are still and in the perfect lighting.
This is what my wonfos look like today too!!Quote:

Huge congrats Cosmosis! I can't wait to see them continue to darken!
Robin- I think you're pregnant and you caught your levels really early. FX your tests too continue to darken!

Thank you ladies, I seriously need to be pinched. I don't quite believe the lines because they took so much work to be able to see. I can't even get them to look like this for me right now as I look at them LOL.
@Robin, I believe you! Let's hope both of our shadows become actual bright lines!
I'm very nervous that this may just be a chemical, so only time will tell now. Should I poafrer tomorrow morning or give it 36 hours?
Do you have any cheapies left cosmo? pee on one tonight if you do..if you have ANYTHING worth mentioning pee on an FRER in the morning.
Robin you know i agree with Xx!! i really think your DPO is just off a bit and you want to give it a bit longer!
Yes, I have some wondfos left. I'll try my best to do a 4 hour hold tonight, otherwise I'll just wait until Tuesday for the frer. I hope I can manage lol.
That is how light mine looked at 10dpo in the evening with maybe a 3 hour hold! The next morning I got a clear positive on a FRER, CBD WE, and Wondfo.
FX for you!!

I'm actually quite nervous they won't darken. :worry:
The plan is to confirm wondfo lines with a frer, then just buy one pack of CBD's for next week so I get the 2-3 week reading and then the 3-4 week reading, God willing.
I was JUST bout to order more frers, but if I don't have to, I'd rather not. I think I'll hold off on the frer until Tuesday and just use up my wondfos...I have a full box of opk's to pee on :rofl:
Remember mine too mine were really faint but over a few days darkened it's so hard not to worry and too easy to spend $$$$$$$$ on FRers!!!!
I defiantly think those lines will darken - It's just so hard to hold off testing !! fx!!

So I just caved and took a frer mid day with no hold. I am pretty sure it's darker than yesterday's fmu.
I am so confused bc I didn't take my morning progesterone bc they told me to stop...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f52112bfa5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a2035bcfad.jpg

I can totally see it Robin! I agree it's much darker today. I'm not sure about what to do with the progesterone. Maybe slowly get back up to the dose you were taking? I would take a half a dose today, if possible. Then resume your full dose tomorrow.
FX you have a sticky bean growing in there!

With progesterone, you can go right back on it, go put your supp in right now! That test is positive my dear. I assume you are on 100mg twice daily right? It is still early in the day to where you can do two doses.Try to go to bed a little later today to get your second dose in. It happens to me all the time with cream.
It took everything I had in me to not take the frer right now. I did not drink anything (besides tea) all day as I've been preoccupied with these tests. I used a wondfo and an opk and dumped the sample. LOL.
Robin, I definitely see it today. I thought I saw it yesterday but today, I have no doubt.
I wouldn't stress too much about the progesterone. I'm assuming you've had lower levels at times and that's why you're taking it? Have you read many studies supporting its effectiveness? I'm not really sure how low yours was but I work with an OB and when I was put on vaginal progesterone with my last pregnancy in August, he said it was just my doctor doing something to have done something. He says there really isn't any significant scientific support to progesterone supplementation. I continued it because it couldn't hurt but he didn't believe that it would be a game changer.

I asked the dr for it bc I thought it might help this cycle since I ovulated so late. (Day 18/19) and my cycles are always 28-29 days long. Leaving me with a shorter LP.
I am on day 31 now 12dpo. Or so I believe anyway.

Roe, I'm unsure if your doc was referring to progesterone and pregnancy or progesterone supplementation generally speaking. It is absolutely wonderful for hormonal imbalance and adrenal insufficiency. There's lots of science behind that one. As far as pregnancy, I'm unsure.
What we do know with certainty is that Stopping progesterone suddenly will cause bleeding to occur, whether pregnant or not. It is often used to induce periods after long anovulatory cycles.
I do think some doctors use it just for extra measure and many women don't need it to sustain a pregnancy. Regardless, if it is stopped suddenly, it will induce bleeding/miscarriage.
I used large amounts during the 2ww last cycle in order to induce a strong ovulation this cycle, and it worked :) I love me some progesterone LOL. ;)
It's not going to hurt! My thing was...I've got it and it's not going to do harm so I might as well do it so I have no "what ifs"
28-29 day cycles and your one day 31 with no AF and a clearly positive hpt!!! [emoji1319][emoji1303]🤞🏻

He was referring to it in sustaining pregnancy because that's why I was prescribed it at 15dpo.
Question...I used it until I had a d&c at 12 weeks. I'm assuming there was a chromosomal issue that made the pregnancy non-viable. I'm wondering if I would have most likely miscarried earlier without it? I never bled. Just went in for scan and the heartbeat was gone.

IT'S GETTING DARKER! :omg: I can see it without squinting now. DH has my phone so I can't take a pic right now, tried with a regular camera but there isn't much zoom and the line isn't dark enough for no zoom.
I'm sorry for your loss hun :(Quote:

Uh, your DH needs to give your phone back- We need to see the pic!!!!
I want to see it [emoji6]

LOL! He took it for repairs. I cracked the top of it. He'll be back ... not soon enough u_u. I tried to scan it but the scanner is super duper brights and makes even the control line look dark. I'll be back with a pic this evening. :D
Well, I can't really wait for him. So here is a shot taken with my camera. If you can see it, then it is most definitely a real line ;) This is without any zoom or perfect lighting. My DD can see it yay!
These are both super fresh. Took the pic about 10 mins after I took the test.

THAT line robin is MUCH darker! It isnt even that much of a squinter and looks alot like mine when my levels were around 10..which means yours would have doubled!!!! im telling you they have the wrong info..you probably just ovulated a day or two later than you thought or baby implanted just a bit late but they still have every shot in the world to be a healthy viable pregnancy and baby!
i am SO SO SO happy for you robin and i hope you keep showing us your tests..i want to watch that line darken with you M'dear :) So happy.
eta: Cosmo! i see that line too for sure ;) awesome! once you get your phone back i expect more/better pictures LOL
