Part 2: December TTC & 2ww

[hannahptrussell]

Eugene, I’ve had that where I just wasn’t testing early enough. I think I was catching the tail-end of my surge. Also, there is something to testing every single day at the same time, 2 different times. I was missing my surges and then went to 2x day and finally caught them!!

BBB, headaches and heartburn are my only 2 signs for early pregnancy. [emoji6]

Mummy, cruel tests indeed. I’d definitely stay away from those altogether. I do the .88 ones from Walmart and have had lots of luck with those. If I’m just getting a faint, I usually follow up with a digital. It’s amazing how final the actual words are.

Eighme what time are you testing? Are you restricting fluids and holding prior to testing? The ideal time for most people is to test between 1-3pm then follow up with another between 7-9pm if you're testing twice. You can go from a stark negative opk to a pos in two days or get a build up. Everyone is different. Without temping its impossible to know whether you've oed or not...

Would anyone care to chime in on this little phenom? Or explain what in the world?!
So i had a chemical pregnancy last cycle. Starting bleeding exactly one week after my due AF. Have been pretty good at my OPKs since I started bleeding, knowing it may be anytime that I would ovulate. Had some strong not quite positives early on and didn’t think much of them since I never got a true positive. Had 3 true positives in a row for the past few days and thought I’d test hcg just in case I ovulated right after I miscarried. So I have 2 faint positives with mid-day testing. Is this serious? Did I completely miss my surge? And should I start progesterone as planned now? Or wait another day or two to make sure this isn’t a fluke?

I’d be calling doctors for beta testing honestly.

Thanks, PBN! I was actually testing first thing in the morning and then in the evening? I’ll give what you recommended a try. I wasn’t withholding liquids or anything. I just assumed these would detect it despite everything else. Oh how I am a newbie!

It is possible to have heavy bleeding when pregnant and be pregnant the entire time. You can have an SCH or lose a twin. This actually happened to me personally. My concern is that your tests would probably be darker if that was the case but I agree with Mommy that I'd consider going in for a beta to see what the number says.

Other option is that the pregnancy ended but some tissue was left behind, but that is usually not the case with a chemical.

I think we need more to go on.

Eugene... Eighme... same thing, almost! They sound similar. That might be an issue too. This is my first month at an actual attempt and I hadn’t ever tried or tracked ovulation before. I thought my predictor would be pretty spot on because it’s always predicting my periods to the day correctly. But, maybe not so with ovulation! I probably should try what Pbn recommended and twice a day at different times.

Eighme almost all dip opks recommend not using fmu and not to test prior to 11am. The most widely recommended time frame to catch your surge is between 1-3pm and if your urine is too diluted by fluids then it will affect your result, hence the fluid intake restriction for 2-3 hours prior and holding for at least 2 hours. Give it go now if you like (depending of course what time it is where you are) or wait until tomorrow. If you have missed your surge this cycle then can I recommend you try the Clearblue dual hormone digis next cycle. They specifically use fmu so there is no holding or restricting fluids involved. Read the instructions that will tell you what cd to begin testing on. Up to you completely as now you're aware of what was going wrong this cycle you may wish to continue using the ones you have

I am assuming your using IC dip test opks??!!! Thought I better confirm so can you let me know if different?
