Cautiously Optimistic (BFP warning)

marijaa333marijaa333 member
in TTC after 35
So, I still have zero symptoms, and my chart is totally unremarkable 

However, I just tested and got a BFP on a Clearblue digital.  I'm trying to upload a photo but it doesn't seem to be working.

My temps don't exactly give me great confidence, but I guess I'll be calling my doctor when I get to work today. I'm happy, dumbfounded and a bit scared!

    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Aparently the brand I used has a fairly high rate of false positives. Amazon reviews are full of stories... What is it with the Clearblue brand?! I have to finish something at work and then will pop out to get another brand.

    @marijaa- It has to due with the blue dye. It can create evaporation lines and make people believe there are two lines. But-- as long as you read the test within the first 3 minutes and it clearly showed 2 lines...you are pregnant! :D

    I missed that it was a digital!  I'm pretty sure if you turn one of those, you're PREGNANT!!!  Add the EPT and I'd say it's for sure.  YAY!
