Morning ladies. So I’m 15dpo today and two days late with all my tests super negative. My PMS is bad and I’m grampy like never before. I’m not used to be late and at this point I just want things to get over so I can move to the next cycle. So yea.. sorry if I was MIA but I’m not the best company atm. Sending hugs to all!

@hpenney I'm so sorry for your loss! Fingers crossed for next time, and maybe look into progesterone studies. My name is Emily by the way, though I'm not sure I've ever used my first name here! I don't mind if anyone here wants to call me by my first name for the record, y'all can call me anything.

Thank you guys for your enquiries about me! I finally got DH to get more tests for me and I tested after dinner just now and got a dye stealer on frer. Check out my profile to have a look!

I had my first beta hcg done at 14 dpo/4weeks and it was 160. Repeating betas in a couple days. My fertility specialist had me come straight in when I called the office yesterday to tell them I was pregnant, and because of my history and the fact that I was having a lot of cramping, he gave me a progesterone injection, and is having me get progesterone pessaries moving forward just to be safe. No more cramping today so I reckon the progesterone helped! My first scan will be at 7 weeks.

@Alex. Maybe you ovulated later than you expected. I hope this cycle will sort itself out for you soon. Hang in there.

E congratulations hun I’m so happy for you! I’ve missed all the previous convos since I was so not in the mood with all my BFNs!

Dragonfly No o don’t think I ovulated later cuz my temps had a very clear rise.

What im thinking now is this... I went and read latest reviews about easy at home test and many 1star ones saying that they we’re getting constantly negatives even digis was positives. I saw plenty pics too comparing the tests with other ones. Now it’s On the second day evening after af was due and I’m not usually late. I need an opinion. Should I wait few more days and see what happens or should I use my one and only digi which I was keeping for a special occasion? What would you ladies do?

@Alex. That's a tough one to decide. When my friend was telling me that she had yellow cm, I convinced her to test; which came back very faint. She took a CB digi the same day and it came back as 1-2 weeks. I know CP is pointless but have you checked to see if it was even open? That may help in the decision making. I'm anxiously waiting to hear some good news for you.

Alex, when taking metformin, I would have a lengthened luteal phase. Always made me think I was late, which for my normal, I was late. Same thing with Clomid. If it were me though, I'd probably use the digi because I have no control. I'm praying that this could be it for you!

@emily I'm so sorry! brain fart! I dont know why I called your Erin. My name is Heather :) Im so happy for you and praying for a sticky bean :)

I will mention it to my gyno next time I talk to her, to see if she thinks it's something to test at this point or not. But my general plan is to see how it goes the next time I get pregnant, if I have concerns with lines not darkening or another chemical I'll definitely look into progesterone. There was so much going on this cycle with my IUD removal and recovery that I'm chalking it up to that being the issue. My IUD was progesterone based so it is also possible that my body just hasn't adjusted to that loss yet.

My AF sort of stopped after a day and my tests are still reading very faint positive, so that's really annoying because it gives me hope which I am relatively certain is false. I'll take a digital tomorrow for my own peace of mind. (Today was supposed to be CD1 but it came yesterday).

@alex I was going to ask you if you’d tried a different brand of test! I’m still rooting for you this cycle!

Hi everyone! I finally got that peak LH test today and I'm CD11. I have to say, I LOVE my thermometer. The Bluetooth feature makes life easier and it has an alarm on it so I test regularly. How is everyone doing?

Its 2dpo and dh and I bd yesterday as well. Hoping to have caught the egg this time. Af is due in 12ish days.
