Overabundant October 2WW

[GirlieCat]

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)

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.

[momamia4]

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]!
