Trouble TTC

Did I Test Too Soon? (Possible BFP mentioned)

Morning,

 

I took my ovidrel on November 14th.  My doctor says to wait 15-17 days before testing but today was day 14 and I couldn't wait any longer.  I had been taking tests with wondofos all week and BFN.  This morning I took a First Response test.  And to my surprise it was BFP.  The line wasn't as dark as the control line but it was definitely there.  I then did what any sane person doing IF would do.. I went to Wal Mart and spent $30 on more tests.  I got a faint line on the Wal Mart Band EPT and a non digital clear blue easy and the 88 cent Wal Mart test.  I did buy the digitial tests too but didn't try one of those.  I'm going to test again tomorrow morning. 

 

I know everyone is different but I just wanted to get some opinions from those who are also taking ovidrel.  My RE doesn't do betas.

Re: Did I Test Too Soon? (Possible BFP mentioned)

  • If you were getting negatives previously, the positive is probably accurate (te test line doesn't have to be as dark or darker than the control line like an OPK) Test again tomorrow with a digital. Congratulations!

  • I would say at 14 days post trigger, it's most likely out of your system, but if you didn't test it out, remain cautiously optimistic. Can you ask your doc for a blood test to confirm the home test? Most peoples seem to see the trigger leave by 10-12 days post. But I have heard it can very rarely linger longer.

  • At 14 dpo I think it's a pretty safe bet that it's out of your system, especially after days of negatives. Sounds like congrats are in order! I'd retest with a digital & see if your doc will test to confirm. 

    Is there a reason your RE doesn't do betas? I thought that was pretty standard.

    My RE doesn't do betas until you get a positive test.. Maybe that's what she meant?

  • I guess they have always just told me to call if I get a positive. I never really asked what the next step is. I assume I would go in for a blood test. I know some girls have blood tests scheduled before a positive but my RE doesn't do that. I am very cautiously optimistic. I told my husband this morning it's so unfair was IF does to you. .. can't even be happy when you get a BFP because you don't know if it's real or not. I sure wish it wasn't the weekend!

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
    2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
    October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
    Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
    January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
    February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
    March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary

    July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
    August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

    IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN

    May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime

    May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
    September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!

    Well holy crap I'm actually pregnant!  I started a brand new job today and luckily they had nothing for me to do so I could obsessively check my email this afternoon.  Took everything I had not to start crying at my desk.  I am over the moon!  Going back on Friday to check my levels again and then if my HCG is high enough they will schedule an ultrasound.  I had 2 follicles this time around so an ultrasound will be nice to see if there are 1 or 2 growing in there! I guess it's time to find an OBGYN!
