AM I PREGNANT?! HELP!

SOFIE90 · 17/02/2020 20:18

So I don't know if I'm getting my hopes up for absolutely nothing.
But I'm diagnosed with PCO and had my first period (naturally) after taking the coil out, and the doctor gave me letroz for a few days while the monitored my cycle with ultrasound!
They could see one follicule growing to the right size and my uterus lining up nicely so the gave me gonasi on Monday last week. I'm pretty sure I ovulated that night. Me and hubby did the deed Monday-Thursday and I'm now around 7 dpo. And I've been feeling very wierd and decided to do a test, although I thought it would be early.
I used cheap test strips (used the same 100 times before without a single line, from the same box) but this time it was the absolute faintest line I've ever seen. Is it positive or am I going mad?!
Can that injection affect it?! I just can't believe it. Please anyone with experience and good eyes!! Help!! 😫😫
Hard to get it on picture since it's such a tiny test!!!

What tests have you been using @SOFIE90?
I can def see lines congratulations!!

SOFIE90 · 18/02/2020 21:06

I'm using some early tests I got from amazon, i got like 30 in one box 🙈 addicted to pee on sticks since TTC 😂
So I've done them before all negative, except this time!
I'm doing a new test in the morning, and using same tests so I can compare it's going darker each day and not fading (since I'm that case it would be from the injection)
I won't be able to sleep for sure 😬

Did a test today, it's not darker but also not lighter. I think I just need to relax for a few days, and take it from there. But it's so hard 😬
But I'll be back with an update Sunday. That should give me time to either have a lot more hcg in my body or the injection for sure being out of my system! That's 13 days after the injection (they say 14 is the longest it would stay), and hopefully the line is a lot stronger 🙏 keep your fingers crossed 🤞

Everything crossed for you OP Flowers

Blabbyblab · 19/02/2020 20:53

Good luck OP, everything crossed here too 🤞

SOFIE90 · 20/02/2020 06:28

So I caved and did one more, hubby gets home today for a few days, so next time will be Sunday.
But this is a picture of this morning, I know it's not fading, but unsure if it's getting darker. Mabey it just takes time?!

I may be wrong but I believe I've read that the cheapy strips never really get very dark. I'd try a first response

binkyblinky · 20/02/2020 07:02

That's definitely a line!!!

BecauseReasons · 20/02/2020 07:07

HCG should double every 3 days so I wouldn't test any more frequently than that tbh.

SOFIE90 · 20/02/2020 07:34

I'll be testing Sunday now next time, first test I did on the Monday this week. So should be a big difference.
I have first response being delivered today, so I will be doing that on Sunday instead! It's also 13 days since I had the injection then. So if it's positive it should not be the injection 🙈 I'm so nervous and scared!!!
Sunday will be the deal breaker!!!!

After reading so much online, I've realised this must be the trigger anyway 😣
Since it's not getting stronger, and it's still so faint...
This doesn't mean I'm not pregnant, but the faint positive is defiantly the trigger shot. But by Sunday when I test, it should be completely gone. So hoping a stronger line comes up...

BecauseReasons · 20/02/2020 09:45

Fingers crossed for you.

SOFIE90 · 22/02/2020 06:38

Okay ladies I caved! 😬
Did a clear blue two days ago, the faintest line you have ever seen (can't see it in the picture) and one today since my app (bbt messure) said it noticed a second temperature raise (implantation should been done)...
and I think it's safe to say the line is very much darker 🙈
I feel pregnant, my breasts, nauseous, cramps and everything. But got the cramps today and was scared that af was around the corner...
even though I still struggle to believe it, I'm believing more than two days ago! 🙈
Can't be increasing like this only on the injection. And that is 12 days ago now, and I'm 12 dpo as well...

@Littlebb2020 congratulations 😍 they are looking nice and strong, my period is expected on Tuesday. But the hospital wanted me to do the test on Friday next week 😬 so I've been a bit naughty.
Also tried a FRER today as well that is even stronger than the clear blue!
Digital Friday with hubby, hoping it all is progressing. But I'm so nervous I don't know what todo 🙈
The cramps at making me nervous and I keep going back to look so it still says pregnant 😂😂
The mind is a funny thing!!

That is a good positive Grin

Congratulations!💕

Littlebb2020 · 22/02/2020 15:15

@SOFIE90 I feel exactly the same! I have lower back aches and really mild af like cramps. Yours is a strong positive too!
Hope we both have a healthy 9 months, it’s just so nerve wracking isn’t it waiting for so long to get a bfp then when you do we’re worrying constantly it’s all ok x

SOFIE90 · 22/02/2020 15:19

Bless you!!
I think that's what life will be now, worrying for the babies safety 🙈
I don't think I'll be waiting for the 12 week scan, I'll be going for a 6 week one, to impatient for sure!
I wish you and the little bean all the best of luck ❤️ @Littlebb2020
According to my ap my due date would be 2d of November 2020 🙏 it's going to be an exciting year for sure, so grateful!

Littlebb2020 · 22/02/2020 15:35

I’ve asked about a 6 week scan as I wanted to pay privately but the clinic I phoned for one said sometimes they don’t see anything until at least 7 weeks so would be better to wait. So think I’m going to wait till the 7. Mine works out as 29th October! 😃 very close together!. I wish you all the best too, Thankyou very much, feel free to inbox me with updates if you like! X

strawberry2017 · 22/02/2020 20:53

Omg I'm so happy for you! Wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy

BecauseReasons · 22/02/2020 20:56

I'll be going for a 6 week one, to impatient for sure!

I'd advise you to leave it until later- at least seven weeks, ideally eight. It can cause a lot of anxiety if they don't find a heartbeat, despite that being relatively normal at six weeks because dates have a margin of error. You see it a lot on here.

Wintersun13 · 22/02/2020 22:54

Yes, you should wait until 7-8wk.

Last time I went at 6wk, got told the yolk sack was too small and spent an awful couple of days until mc.

This time I waited 8wk and got to see a heartbeat, which was great for my peace of mind.

If you can you should wait as whatever you see at 6wk will not be conclusive either way.

Wintersun13 · 22/02/2020 22:55

PS - should add, your tests are looking good so far, try not to worry too much !

Camopetals · 24/02/2020 21:59

What a great thread, keep us posted OP and Littlebb
