I think i got a false positive

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 11:08:08 -0600

well everyone the dr is making me go back in for another beta next week cuz the nurse ordered a qualitive and she said it was negative so they want me to do a quantative beta next week. im depressed beyond belief, i feel like i was one of those few people that got a false positive. i just dont understand why i have symptoms and a positive home pregnancy test yet a negative blood test. i dont know what to think and sometimes it makes me feel like its not meant to be and that i should give up

Do cysts cause false positive ovulation tests?

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 08:59:04 -0600

I am 7dpo and yesterday my RE discovered a 9cm cyst, thanks to clomid.

I do O on my own but it's very weak that's why my RE has me trying clomid...

today, 7dpo, I have a blazing positive opk.

is it from the cyst or am I ovulating again?

Thank you!

How to interpret OPK results?

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 10:44:00 -0600

Hello there,

I started using an ovulation predictor (the one you urinate on) in order to track down my cycles. I stopped the pill in October and had my first normal cycle in Nov 14 and ended the 19th. I started testing with the ovulation slides on the 27 and got a negative result. I also got a negative on the 28. When I tested the 29 I got a positive slide but then the days that followed ( 30st, 1st, 2nd today) I got a negative.

I read the package and researched online but I'm not quite sure how to interpret the result. Are you supposed to get only one slide positive and that's your ovulation day? what does the negative slides indicate after you get one positive?

I have all the symptoms for ovulation, but the again, I stopped the pill in October. How long does it last? Is it only one day that you ovulate, or can you get pregnnat a few days after, if you try?

I would love to get pregnant. What are your expert suggestions?

Thank you so much for your help!

I took an hpt...Not sure what to think

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 02:42:00 -0600

A VERY VERY faint line showed up as the test was completing. Im not sure if you can see it from the picture, but its there when you look at the test. I think I'm going to have to go to the store in the morning and buy another. This is really bugging me! I have to know!!!

is it safe to discontinue loprin 75 around 35th week?

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 00:16:32 -0600

Hi Doc,

My Doctor checked for anti-Nuclear Anti-Bodies and the result is weak positive. Also seen cyto-plasmic granularity suggestive of Jo-1. The pattern is SS-A/SS-B.As you are aware that i had a missed abortion(june 07) and chemical pregnancy(march 08). It is with this regard that the above test was done. My gynac has suggested that i take Loprin 75 (as it is weak positive) till that end of june 08. But i got pregnany naturally in may 08. And now i am 7 months pregnant. I had scan done yesterday (ie. 31st week scan) and it was all normal. My due date is 29th jan 09. My lmp date is 24th april 08. My gynac wishes to discontinue loprin 75 by the 35th week. She says that it is not safe to take it till the end of pregnancy. Is it safe to discontinue it at that time? Will i stay pregnant after discontinuing it and deliver around my due date?

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:09:37 -0600

Anyone can answer this

I haven't been doing artificial inseminations for two months now,so i can study the amount of EWCM i'm getting.last cycle i had been taking FertileCM and it kinda worked but i didn't get the results i wanted.so this month i noticed that when i get a positive OPK my CM is only creamy like.and i don't even noticed the strechy stuff before ovulation.what can i do to have greater EWCM? is this something i should see a doctor about?

My Journey - PCOS to baby!

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 08:48:49 -0600

I figured it was about time I updated my journey. Hopefully this will help someone else get to that BFP!

My dh & I started trying to conceive in September 2007. I stopped taking the pill somewhere near the end of August 2007. Like everyone else, we thought we would get pregnant very quickly. We even planned a big anniversary/baby making trip to Mexico. We were sooooo excited! No one in our families has had any problems with infertility. We are both young (I was 27 & my dh 29) and we are both within a normal bmi.

The first month we tried I thought I was pregnant b/c AF didn't come for about 5-6 wks. But I kept getting BFN's. The next cycle was about 7 weeks. then the next about 8 weeks. Each time I thought I was pregnant, but got BFN. I didn't understand bc before I went on BC I always had long (32 day) but regular cycles. I went to an OB/GYN & she said it could take 6 months for your body to regulate after getting off of BC and all I could do was wait. So I waited, and kept trying. I went back at 6 months and was told that there was nothing I could do, but try for a year and then go see an RE. If your doctor tells you that - FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR.

Luckily I made an appointment with another dr., thanks to the advise from the people on this site. He did some blood work and told me my Fsh levels were normal, I think it was 6 or 7. But my LH was through the roof at 21. THat meant one of 2 things. 1. I was ovulating. Or 2. I had PCOS. He told me to bd just in case, but to also try the ovulation predictor kits and charting my temps to see what I found. During this time - I still getting AF, but only every 7-9 weeks.

I started buying the regular OPK's at first and realized they were always both pink and I couldn't tell the difference. Also, I couldn't really tell the best time to take them b/c I didn't have regualr cycles. So, I upgraded. I bought the digital OPK's and I started using them ever day. I finally got a positive and was so excited! But when AF didn't show in 2 wks and I still got a BFN I resorted to starting over. THat's when I noticed I would get several positive - digitial - OPK's a cycle.

My charting wasn't much help either as it looked more like a topography map than anything else. I took my temp at exactly the same time every morning and even put it on fertilityfriends.com for digital tracking, but it just said "anovulatory". Or would say I ovulated when I had not. So, I bought a book on PCOS, read it, and headed back to the dr. After all, his sign said he dealt with "infertility".

If I could pass one word of advise onto anyone reading this it would be that not all dr's that say they work with infertility do. Writing scripts for Comid & fertility shots is not the same as being specialized in infertility and trying to find and target the problem. Dr's need no special training to add "infertility" to their sign outside. So be sure to ask exactly what makes your dr. specialized.

Anyways, back to the story. I went back to the dr with my charts and my stories of my OPK's. I obviously wasn't ovulating the last time I went when my LH was so high, so I was assuming it was the PCOS, but I wasn't completely convinced after reading the book about it. I'm not overweight, I used to have regular cycles, and my dr never did an ultrasound to confirm.

Instead, he just gave me Clomid. I should point out that I do have PCOS and it has been confirmed with an ultrasound (different doc). But fully explaining, and fully diagnosing are all parts of being a good doctor in my mind.

FIrst round of clomid I had a AF came after 28 days, but was VERY light. I don't know if I actually ovulated b/c that dr. doesn't check progesterone levels. But I started another round of Clomid just in case. That time I bought the $250 OV watch (waste of money). I didn't get AF the second time. I took a month off, then went back to the dr. He was ready to put me on fertility shots, but at 27. I was not ready for the risk of triplets, so I asked if I could try an increased dose of Clomid first. I had HORRIBLE side effects, but still no AF. I talked it over with my husband and we decided we would rather adopt than have triplets at our current ages, we just didn't think we could handle it. So we decided to hold off on the shots.

By this time it was September 2008, a year of trying, so I started looking into RE's. I originally thought you only went to an RE for invitro - but thought I would look into it more. I found acrm.com and read their "journey" which was almost an exact footprint of mine. I researched prices and realized it wasn't as expensive as I had originally thought so I made an appt.

My first appointment was at the beginning of September 2008. I had actually just gotten AF - randomly - a couple of days before my appt.

I went in, they talked to me for about half an hour explaining all the steps and the options & what all we needed to check. They immediately did an ultrasound to check my ovulation status and my PCOS (which confirmed it). I was given Femara to make me ovulate

(since clomid didn't work), and metformin to get my insulin levels under control b/c of my PCOS.

They sent me for a full blood work-up to make sure nothing else was wrong. ANd sent me to have an HSG to clear my tubes & make sure they weren't blocked. On 9/10 I came back for another ultrasound to check my ovulation status. I had 4 eggs "in the running", came back the next day for an HCG trigger shot to induce the ovulation. Then came back on 9/12 for an IUI. We figured after a year of bd - we would go ahead and try an IUI if they could get us to ovulate. On 9/19 (my birthday!) I went back for a blood test where they confirmed that I HAD ovulated! And my progesterone was high enough to carry a child. ON 9/24 I took a Home pregnancy test and got my very first BFP! I went back on 9/25 for a confirmation blood test which confirmed I WAS PREGNANT!

They had me come back for 2 more blood tests, then an ultrasound at 6 weeks where I saw my baby for the first time. And another ultrasound at 7wks 3days where I saw the heartbeat (139) for the first time. They released me to my regular OB who I went to at 9weeks for my 3rd ultrasound and saw the heartbeat at 164! Just one month after going to an RE I was pregnant!

I am now 11 weeks, almost through the first trimester, and I've never been happier in my life!

Got a BFP

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 22:57:21 -0600

Well I tested again today 16DPO and got a darker (but still faint) BFP on a FRER. I am hoping the spotting is nothing and stops soon and that this baby sticks.

I have a feeling that this might be the month!!!!

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:07:32 -0500

After trying for over a year and a half (with one miscarriage) i think this maybe my month. i dont know why but I have a good feeling about this month. This is my second cycle of chlomid and the cramps that the girls on this group told me were ovulation (which I proved by taking a test) were very painful. So i am wishing luck to everyone out there who is trying to get pregnant as well as myself... it is so frustrating but the girls on this web site are great and seem so happy when ever someone reaches a milestone. Reading other's success stories always makes me so happy and thats why I guess I come on everynight - to see if someone else has finally had their wish granted. Good luck to all!!

No +OPK but pregnant?

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 10:34:00 -0500

Is it possible to not be able to detect a +OPK in your cycle but still end up pregnant? I know it unlikely, but is it possible?

First IUI...with a BFP

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:43:53 -0500

Hello,

First let me explain my situation. I had an HSG June 30, 2008. When the finding came back, it showed I had some kind of blockage. However my tubes were open and clear. To confirm my doctor preformed a watersono on Tuesday, September 9,2008. I was then scheduled for surgery Friday, September 19, 2008. He removed what was causing the blockage. On Friday, September 26,2008 A/F came to visit. On Saturday, September 27, 2008 I was giving a prescription for Clomiphene Citrate 50 to be taken 2xs a day for a week. I reported back to the doctor on Saturday, October 4th, 2008 and was told I had 4 eggs. A follow up appointment on Tuesday October 7th 2008 showed I had 2-3 more eggs on the left. I received a prescription for Ovidrel Prefilled Syringe and Progesterone Suppositories. I was to inject myself at about 9pm that night. My IUI was scheduled for Thursday, October 9th 2008 @6:30am. I was also to start the progesterone suppositories that night. On Friday, October 10, 2008 I took a home pregnancy test (just because), it came back with 2 lines. One was lighter then the other. On Sunday, October 12, 2008 I took another home pregnancy test, and that also had 2 lines. I took another home pregnancy test on Tuesday, October 14th, 2008 and it came back negative. I'm now 7 days past my IUI now.I'm schedule to see my doctor on Saturday, October 25, 2008 to do a blood test to see if I’m actually pregnant.

I did 2 HPT's on 10/20/08 BFP's. Thought I was crazy and did 2 more on 10/21/08 BFP's. Still figuring I'm seeing things took another 1 10/22/08..BFP....WOOHOO!!!!

I'm currently 13DPIUI.

P.S. I have all the symptoms: cramping, gas, ect. and now the runs...uuugg

Dr Q or anyone who knows hpt testing after trigger!!

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 12:25:08 -0500

Ok so on the 12th at 2am I took 3 of theses:(Ovidrel)and I took it so early in the morning because my dh wasn't going to be away for awhile during my cycle and we didn't want to miss the egg. Ok and today the 21st 9 days after I took my Ovidrel shot I took a test that looks like this: (this hpt measures 10-15 hcg supposibly)so my question is...is this a fasle postive hpt or the real deal? I'm going to keep testing soon, but I want to know how long does it take for the trigger to be out of my system? I've heard diffrent amounts of time and what to know what you all think. Thank you ahead of time!!!!
