I’ve taken these tests within 2 days. I know over testing. But I’m going
nuts. Are these true positives? The blue dyes are yes dried. I took
this picture 2 hours later. But the others are within time frame.
QFP minus the 5 pee stick pics.
Since you're new here, you should consider reading the rules, posted prominently in several places at the top of the board, before you post. We do no appreciate pictures of your HPTs here, nor do we do one-off posts such as this. And seriously, as a veteran reader of my own HPTs, just have a little dang patience. If you can't read your results, then wait a couple of days and pee on another one. If you're pregnant, you'll still be pregnant. If you're not pregnant, that will soon become obvious. If you're having a chemical, that is a crappy thing but you can't do anything about it. Getting a bunch of strangers on the internet to read your test results for you will not change any of this.
History
I am doing this on my own. Left ovary and fallopian tube removed due to cyst/necrosis just after birth. Right ovary and tube still purport to function.
Began TTC in Aug '18 @ age 35
5 or 6 (or 7?!) cycles using frozen donor sperm, ICI. All BFN
Mar-Jun '19 IUIs, all BFN
Began process of referral for RE in spring of '19, blood tests confirm low AMH (.54) but all else is good.
May '19 HSG shows open tube, but ultrasound suggests fibroids
MRI in June '19 confirms two large fibroids, one growing through wall of uterus
In June '19 I move from California to Oregon, disrupting my insurance, referrals, etc. 5 months spent piecing it all back together.
Nov. '19 attempted myomectomy (vaginal approach) failed. 2nd surgery using laparoscopic method in Jan '20 is successful.
April '20 --> June '20, natural IUIs, all BFN.
July? saline ultrasound and bubble test demonstrate open tube
July '20 clomid cycle cancelled for thin lining
Aug-Oct, 3 femara cycles, all BFN
RE referral. While waiting to set up an appointment Nov-Jan,I continue with natural cycles and ICI, using a known donor, BFN...
Jan '21 more bloodwork, AMH is worse (.30), FSH high albeit not catastrophic at 13.2. hysteroscopy all good. "looks cozy!" says the RE.
Feb '21, injectables (menopur, novarel), iui, BFN (doc said the frozen donor sperm sample had the "best numbers she'd ever seen!")
Mar '21, injectables, iui cancelled due to lack of follicles, converted to at home-insem. BFN
May '21, first IVF round cancelled due to cyst.
July '21 IVF: standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 7; 6 days of stims. 8 eggs retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilize, 4 made it to blast. 3 are 4AB, 1 is 4BB. PGT-A results all abnormal. Oct '21 somewhat improved AMH (.51) and significantly improved FSH (8.9). Maybe it's all the pills I swallow. Dec -21, standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 5; 11 days of stims. retrieval yields 5, 4M, 2 reach day-6 blast (4AB & 4BB). 1 low-level mosaic (chr. 3 deletion), 1 complex abnormal. Feb '22 FET (low-level mosaic): CP. May '22 egg retrieval, lupron flare protocol. HGH priming for 1 month before stims; md lupron 20/20u daily; menopur 225, follistim 225, 10k trigger after 8 days of stims; AFC 10; 13 retrieved; 10 mature; 8 fertilized. All frozen at 2PN for later thaw, grow, and biopsy. July '22 egg retrieval same protocol: 9 days of stims; AFC 8; 10 retrieved, 8 mature, 4 fertilized and frozen. Sept '22 ER same protocol: AFC 10; 12 retrieved, 11 mature, 11 fertilized. From the 3 retrievals, 7 survived to day 5-6 blastocyst, from which I have 2 normal embryos! Jan 20, Fully medicated FET, baby aspirin, dexamethasone, acupuncture, and as much woo as I can stand (which isn't very much). BFN. July 23, Natural FET + baby aspirin. BFN.
@bethany128-2 you're the one who came into a community you've never been in before and posted something that can be triggering and downright disrespectful to many of the people in here. Excuse us for not showering you in rose petals. Especially considering the rules are one of the very first posts at the top of the page, and the rule against posting pee sticks is literally written at the top of the board in nice big letters.
Also, @optimistgardener gave a perfectly reasonable response, and getting defensive and lashing out definitely doesn't help you look any better. But go on, post on another board about how rude TTGP is because that's what half the people in these posts do rather than accept that maaaaybe reading the rules to a community you acknowledge you're new to miiiight be a good idea.
LMAOOOOO okay. Y’all have to much time on your hands.
🤨 says the woman posting her color-inverted pee-sticks on the internet in hopes of public debate.

Ah, yes. The classic confusing "being supportive" with "blowing smoke up your butt and telling you only what you want to hear," along with a lovely "I'm out of here and definitely don't care what you think that's why I keep coming back and responding!"
@bethany128-2 honestly, speaking for myself, it's cathartic because this happens all the time and people expect us to fawn over people we don't know, and praise their tests despite never seeing them before, when we've actually got a fantastic, actually supportive community here and it irritates the heck out of me to see people blow through here tossing casual disses at us and telling us we're not supportive just because we aren't the Wild West of constant pee stick photos that many other TTC message boards are.
For someone who's trying to get pregnant and is willing to read and abide by the established rules, this place is fantastic and we both lean on and hold up one another on a regular basis. We get to know each other and we are a community.
It also confuses me when people get surprised that we don't like one-off rule-breaking posts. Would you find a TTC group in real life, run in brandishing pregnancy tests, and shove them in the people's faces asking for opinions without introducing yourself, or taking 5 seconds to look at the group of people and read the room? I'm guessing not, so why is that okay just because it's the internet?
Also I'm in a snarky mood tonight for a mix of reasons, including other-people's-pregnancy ones, so maybe I'm just bitter. 🙃
You guys, we never even answered her question! So unsupportive 😆 shame on us

@inthewoods23 the blue dye test had a suspicious possible line but the photo was taken outside the valid window, so who knows. the other tests looked neg to me but it's a photo so who knows, you know? 🤷♀️ mysteries abound.

@optimistgardener yeah they were all negative to me too. The one taken at arms length killed me.

Girl I wasn't even talking to you. Nobody was continuing to bother you. You are the one clearly checking back in this thread for the replies. If you want to be part of this supportive community then actually intro in the Newbie thread and participate in our daily WTO and TWW threads. Otherwise you just look silly continuing to comment here when you've made the claim that other apps are better.

Wait, I'm confused @bethany128-2 - aren't you posting on Babies on the Brain this morning that your tubes are tied and you're trying to get your husband on board with a reversal?

@mvt2003 yes that’s correct. But it’s been 4 years since my tubal and my period was 14 days late. So I thought maybe they reconnected and took tests to see. That’s why I took a lot cause I was anxious. I was wrong.

@inthewoods23 looks silly to for bumping the thread? You?
@bows22 atleast I can admit I was wrong and I apologized for making the post lol why keep going??
If you were sitting at a coffee shop with friends and some random girl came up and showed you something she peed on would you not continue to discuss it after she walked away??
@bows22 but that’s what trying to get pregnant is all about? Taking tests. If I was sitting in a coffee shop talking about pregnancy then no it wouldn’t be weird if someone showed me there tests. I don’t mind looking at tests. I didn’t know this group doesn’t allow them because I’m admitting I was wrong for not reading the rules. I have different opinions and views. This is trying to get pregnant which involves peeing on opks or pregnancy tests.

So you wouldn't find it weird if someone walked around with a used pregnancy test in their pocket or purse? Would YOU ever do that?

@bethany128-2 I’m sure you & your friends are saints that never say a bad word about anyone!
My point, which you clearly missed, is that we are all friends here, which is why we are continuing to chat about the funny thing that happened on the board today. I’m sorry that you feel like it’s at your expense, but it’s really nothing personal.
So, the thing with me is that I always start feeling way more sympathetic once there is a little context. When folks come in just waving their pregnancy test results around I get my back up a bit, because after 3 years of my own negative HPTs, I resent having other people's tests stuck in my face (especially when they're positive or potentially positive, because dangit if I haven't spent tens of thousands of dollars, had multiple surgeries, and swallowed a kajillion vitamin pills to still be barren old grouch, and it sucks having people just waltz in and be like "yo am I pregnant? I just peed on this and I can't tell."). But knowing that @bethany128-2 here has had a tubal ligation and a mystery late period... well, that lends dimension to the story. I am sure most of us here can sympathize with wanting very much to be pregnant. So this context thing is part of why we ask people to introduce themselves properly, tell us a bit about their story and who they are and where they find themselves on their TTC journey first things first in the newbies thread. If you had done that, we'd still probably tell you what I'm saying now, which is that it's practically impossible for a tubal ligation to reverse itself spontaneously.
History
I am doing this on my own. Left ovary and fallopian tube removed due to cyst/necrosis just after birth. Right ovary and tube still purport to function.
Began TTC in Aug '18 @ age 35
5 or 6 (or 7?!) cycles using frozen donor sperm, ICI. All BFN
Mar-Jun '19 IUIs, all BFN
Began process of referral for RE in spring of '19, blood tests confirm low AMH (.54) but all else is good.
May '19 HSG shows open tube, but ultrasound suggests fibroids
MRI in June '19 confirms two large fibroids, one growing through wall of uterus
In June '19 I move from California to Oregon, disrupting my insurance, referrals, etc. 5 months spent piecing it all back together.
Nov. '19 attempted myomectomy (vaginal approach) failed. 2nd surgery using laparoscopic method in Jan '20 is successful.
April '20 --> June '20, natural IUIs, all BFN.
July? saline ultrasound and bubble test demonstrate open tube
July '20 clomid cycle cancelled for thin lining
Aug-Oct, 3 femara cycles, all BFN
RE referral. While waiting to set up an appointment Nov-Jan,I continue with natural cycles and ICI, using a known donor, BFN...
Jan '21 more bloodwork, AMH is worse (.30), FSH high albeit not catastrophic at 13.2. hysteroscopy all good. "looks cozy!" says the RE.
Feb '21, injectables (menopur, novarel), iui, BFN (doc said the frozen donor sperm sample had the "best numbers she'd ever seen!")
Mar '21, injectables, iui cancelled due to lack of follicles, converted to at home-insem. BFN
May '21, first IVF round cancelled due to cyst.
July '21 IVF: standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 7; 6 days of stims. 8 eggs retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilize, 4 made it to blast. 3 are 4AB, 1 is 4BB. PGT-A results all abnormal. Oct '21 somewhat improved AMH (.51) and significantly improved FSH (8.9). Maybe it's all the pills I swallow. Dec -21, standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 5; 11 days of stims. retrieval yields 5, 4M, 2 reach day-6 blast (4AB & 4BB). 1 low-level mosaic (chr. 3 deletion), 1 complex abnormal. Feb '22 FET (low-level mosaic): CP. May '22 egg retrieval, lupron flare protocol. HGH priming for 1 month before stims; md lupron 20/20u daily; menopur 225, follistim 225, 10k trigger after 8 days of stims; AFC 10; 13 retrieved; 10 mature; 8 fertilized. All frozen at 2PN for later thaw, grow, and biopsy. July '22 egg retrieval same protocol: 9 days of stims; AFC 8; 10 retrieved, 8 mature, 4 fertilized and frozen. Sept '22 ER same protocol: AFC 10; 12 retrieved, 11 mature, 11 fertilized. From the 3 retrievals, 7 survived to day 5-6 blastocyst, from which I have 2 normal embryos! Jan 20, Fully medicated FET, baby aspirin, dexamethasone, acupuncture, and as much woo as I can stand (which isn't very much). BFN. July 23, Natural FET + baby aspirin. BFN.

Re: Hello new here
QFP minus the 5 pee stick pics.
Since you're new here, you should consider reading the rules, posted prominently in several places at the top of the board, before you post. We do no appreciate pictures of your HPTs here, nor do we do one-off posts such as this. And seriously, as a veteran reader of my own HPTs, just have a little dang patience. If you can't read your results, then wait a couple of days and pee on another one. If you're pregnant, you'll still be pregnant. If you're not pregnant, that will soon become obvious. If you're having a chemical, that is a crappy thing but you can't do anything about it. Getting a bunch of strangers on the internet to read your test results for you will not change any of this.
Oct '21 somewhat improved AMH (.51) and significantly improved FSH (8.9). Maybe it's all the pills I swallow.

Girl I wasn't even talking to you. Nobody was continuing to bother you. You are the one clearly checking back in this thread for the replies. If you want to be part of this supportive community then actually intro in the Newbie thread and participate in our daily WTO and TWW threads. Otherwise you just look silly continuing to comment here when you've made the claim that other apps are better.

Wait, I'm confused @bethany128-2 - aren't you posting on Babies on the Brain this morning that your tubes are tied and you're trying to get your husband on board with a reversal? I missed the photo of the pee sticks here yesterday, but it is very confusing to me how you could have pregnancy test questions with tied tubes....
