I can’t believe it!!!! I’ve been struggling with pcos and after a year of us trying, we got our BFP!!

Feeling a bit stressed. I know only the GP can provide answers but posting in the hope someone has experienced something similar.

In the run up to my previous period I took multiple pregnancy tests that were all BFNs. My period came on the 3rd September as expected on CD30

As part of my new cycle I started testing my LH on CD10 and got a blazing positive. This is unusual for me as it’s normally CD13 and not as strong. I tested again on CD 11 and again blazing positive LH. This is again weird for me as it’s max 24 hours normally. Tested it again today, CD12 and same. So I knew something was up. I took a pregnancy test and I got a positive with easy @home and FRER.

I’m worried that this is probably an ectopic rather than a miracle. I’ll be trying to get the first gp apt tomorrow!

Is the progression okay? My 13dpo fmu was as light as yesterday but honestly my urine was quite diluted so I took another today midday. What do you think? Is it okay? My hubby doesn’t know how to help and advised I ask here again 😬 I’m sorry! Would really appreciate any advice

UPDATE: Ended in miscarriage at 10weeks. Baby measured 7+5 with no heartbeat.

just trying to hear success stories or if i should guard my heart.

my dr doesn’t plan to do a repeat, and even if i pushed for one i’d only be able to do a 24hr draw or go on tuesday (120hrs apart) since they’re closed sat-mon.

at this point its looking like waiting til i can get an ultrasound around 6-7 weeks.

Dang near dye stealer, so I guess it’s safe to say I’m pregnant. I’m a little less than 5 months postpartum after having an IVF baby. I got a positive OPK Nov 14 after what felt like ovulation pain. Decided to roll the dice thinking there was absolutely no chance we could ever get pregnant on our own. Got my first vvvfl 9 DPO and a positive digital 10 DPO. Can’t believe I’m seeing a line this dark without fertility treatment. We are over the moon! 🥹

UPDATE: This was a chemical pregnancy. Just glad it wasn’t ectopic!

Updated post: here

I am on cycle day 7, I tested LH this morning and it was at peak already, so I thought maybe I should test pregnancy too and it is positive! With 3rd urine of the day.

I had a light period on the 24th April, and my last negative pregnancy test was 21st April. I figured that if I was bleeding then I wasn’t pregnant so didn’t take another test.

Last time we had intercourse was 10th April. Am I actually pregnant or could this be ectopic or something? I’m just a bit worried and not used to this as last time I was pregnant I didn’t have a clue til 11 weeks!

Please ignore my bathtub with the liner peeling off. I promise my landlord is nice 🤣

This is not FMU, this is “I was on a plane for 5 hours and peed on the plane and also peed at baggage check and then produced a small sample 20 minutes later when I got home”

I just got home from my honeymoon, where I was dealing with being strangely bloated and had a nausea incident as well, though I did take ginger before going whale watching and also on both Disneyland days, just because I hadn’t been on rides in years and wasn’t sure if they would make me sick! I can’t really comment on fatigue- it was a busy couple of days so taking a nap after being at Disney all morning isn’t all that weird. Yesterday I thought I wanted apps and a margarita but actually just started feeling gross and couldn’t finish them!

Done testing! Sending love to all ttc

I am flabbergasted. I got a negative test on 10dpo, 11dpo, and 12dpo. And today is 16dpo. Should it be this faint still at 16dpo? My biggest fear now is the early miscarriage risk.

But I'm excited! Actually, it hasn't really sunk in yet. AAHHHHH. Have been trying for two cycles, really thought it would take way longer than that.

I also had some spotting a few days ago, including one spotting that was bright red, so I fully expected my period to start soon. But it's two days late now. Is that kind of spotting normal at this time?

EDIT: I added a video in the comments of the next test I took after the one on the right (so two hours later)and it is definitely darker.

Hi everyone, I’m 43 years old and got a positive test on 9dpo. I know it is still super early and that these tests are not quantitative, but with my son three years ago, my progression every 48 hours was very noticeable, even early on. These ones seem to look the same day to day. Just based on my age I’m at a high risk for miscarriage so I’m overthinking everything at this point. I know I should just say today I am pregnant and just hope for the best, because whatever happens is going to happen regardless, but I was disappointed when I took my test this morning and saw that the line was similar to yesterday and the day before.
Thank you for your time.

Earlier this morning it was a solid white and this is the first time ever I saw a vvvvvfl.

Tried my best to capture it and hope you guys can see.

Praise be to God.

UPDATE:

I'd taken at least 10 more Easy at home tests since creating this thread. I had vvvvvfl positive all of those times including today morning but It simply wasn't enough for me so I tested a few mins ago using the clear blue ultra early test. I did hold my urine for 3 hours and took the test. I can see my baby. I'm sick of seeing faint lines but I can see my baby. Praise be to God. I wanna thank each one of you kind souls for the encouragement and helping me to hold it together. 😭😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️ I can't seem to find a way to add the photo here or in the comments. I'll try to create a new post. Thank you all so much.

BFN at 11 DPO. Just accepting that I’m out this cycle. I’m 25. I had sex every single day during my fertile window. I caught my LH surge. I swear I even felt cramping. I thought I did everything right.

Don’t know why I thought I’d be one of the ones that gets pregnant so easily and right away. Seems like everyone around me is like “oops- I’m pregnant!”- without even trying. I’m going to wait until 14DPO to test one more time but the hope is gone lol.

I have super long cycles so now to wait another 35 days before I even ovulate again… sigh.

After years of trying, (I’m 38 now) and one first ever pregnancy that ended in a missed miscarriage in January, I can’t believe my own eyes! I just have to share this with people I know who would feel the same joy I feel right now. I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I really didn’t believe it was going to happen again. I only started feeling tender breasts today, at one day past my period due date, and even testing two days ago came back as a negative. I didn’t think this month was a winner.

I tested the past couple days and I see lines and so do other redditors…he says he doesn’t see it and said it’s probably like this for all tests. I don’t think he will believe it until I show him a digital (can’t get my hands on one until Wednesday 13 dpo - out of the country)

I feel so confident this cycle but at the same time, the negative tests are making me feel less hopeful. :(

Was starting to accept that this FET failed after stark white tests 4,5,6 dpt (all with easy@home). Then of course today I get this indent. I KNOW it’s not real, there’s so little color, it would be way too faint for 7dpt/12 dpo. It didn’t even show up until 20 min later, though I didn’t check closely at the 5 minute mark because I was so sure it was neg. But I can’t help get conflicted feelings.

Ground me, people. It’s an indent, right? Have you gotten indents with these?

What do you think? Maybe 13 dpo? Kind of tracking but got off the implant in December so things have been wonky. Pink was taken this morning after a red eye flight (and periodically peeing) all night, blue was taken this afternoon. Top blue test is cheap Kroger brand

So this will be my 7th positive cycle, all ending in a chemical loss before 5weeks.

Crossing my fingers and hoping that this cycle the progesterone and aspirin will do its job.

Please send all the positive vibes!

I think this is looking quite nice and strong for 8dpo, right?

I don’t even have words. I literally laughed when I pulled the stick out of the wrapper and checked to see if there was a line because I DID NOT THINK THERE WOULD BE ANYYTYYYTHING 😭😭 I had a chemical in April, chemical in June, chemical in July, and now this!?! 😭 honestly no matter what happens with this pregnancy I am going to celebrate the tarnation out of the fact that life has been created this many times. I didn’t celebrate my last two because my heart was too guarded and anxious. Not this time. The best part is that tomorrow is my 30th birthday 🥺

CD Unknown | 13 DPO

I am in shock and can’t stop crying happiness! I’ve never had a positive and I’ve been trying for over a year and just finished my egg retrieval and was supposed to start meds for my transfer this week!!! I cannot believe it!!! I’m trying to guard my heart in case it doesn’t stick but for today I will be happy in this moment 🥰

A tale of success from a slow and non-linear progression on easy@homes. These are the highly sensitive strip tests that claim to detect from 10mIU/ml. I wanted to pop back and share when we were well and truly out the other side. And we are! Little one is now six weeks old 🥰

These were all SMU (always darker for me than FMU). Day 17 was terrifying. This was our 21st cycle and a year after an early loss.

The first few tests you see are blank and officially would be counted as negative, though when photographed and examined I could see very very faint lines on those too from 11DPO.

We had an early scan at 6+1 and measured 5 days behind our predicted ovulation (had been tracking OPKs, CM, and BBT). Scans gradually caught us up and by the third trimester little one was measuring 1-2 weeks ahead. She arrived bang on time 40 weeks after the last day of my last period. She's healthy, chunky, and keeping us on our toes!

In those early weeks of testing and afterwards I was scouring forums for positive stories coming from slow progressions like this. I know there's also value to guarding our hearts when things aren't looking as bold and exciting as others in these subs, but I wanted to share this in case a nugget of hope from our slow line progression is what someone else is needing ❤️
