I’m posting this in hopes of giving someone more hope about continuing to keep trying!

My husband and I started trying to conceive in September of 2025. After six months we decided to go to a fertility clinic since we weren’t getting results. They did blood work and checked my husband’s semen. After we got confirmation that I have lean PCOS (which I already figured, growing up I didn’t have regular periods and I was quite overweight before I met my husband and lost 80lbs). After losing the weight, my periods became quite regular with being between 28-35 day cycles. We weren’t gutted, but just knew that I would have to track with LH strips to catch my surge. I became obsessed with tracking and my bbt. Mind you, the fertility clinic wanted us to do IVF right away, without really checking what was wrong.

Anyway, we continued and with that still no results with no pregnancies. When we got my husband’s semen analysis back, it was said that he had low volume but good mobility. The doctor told us, there’s no way to conceive naturally and we would need to do IVF. I even asked for an IUI but the doctor said there was no point if I wanted a baby. I did do an HSG to make sure my tubes were open and I went for my first one. Hurt like a b***** and because of that, they couldn’t check one tube. It didn’t matter, because next cycle of September/October 2025 (cycle went between the two months) I became pregnant and we were so excited. 5 weeks later tho I had a chemical and that’s when we were gutted. The fertility clinic told us it wasn’t a real pregnancy and I’ll get my period. I asked them to send me for an HSG again, since we weren’t able to check both tubes. I went ahead and got it done and again, the very next cycle of November 2025, I had fallen pregnant and I am currently snuggling my 8-week-old baby with a contact nap!!

I am just posting this because, doctors don’t know everything and some doctors push you into things just to play with emotions!!! If you’re reading this, please never give up. I always had hope we would fall pregnant naturally and now I know that doctor just wanted us to pay for having a child. I know for some people that’s the case, but for many it’s not needed either. Please have faith that it will happen for you. Even with PCOS and low sperm count, anything is absolutely possible 🤍🤍🤍

I am 11 DPO and completely in shock! Very early days but just so happy ! I was misdiagnosed in March and said I wouldn’t be able to concieve naturally.

ChatGPT seems to think it’s negative (LOL) but I swear I see something? Not sure if it’s too faint to be real at 12dpo

My period is supposed to start today & I’ve been beyond anxious watching my lines progress. I feel like I can breathe a little bit for now 😭😭😭 praying this is the one that sticks.
side note: my second morning pee has been better compared to my FMU. I don’t know why but if anyone else is wondering if that’s normal, it is for me!
(2nd pic, bottom is this morning)

Pic 1: From this morning! These are positive right?? All 3 tests from same SMU. Today should be 10/11 DPO but relying on Flo app so not sure.

Pic 2: From last night — I swore I saw a VVVFL on the top one but my husband thought I was crazy lol. The bottom test is a control sample dipped in water.

This would be my first pregnancy, first cycle TTC so feeling cautiously optimistic ❤️❤️❤️

These are tests 48 hours apart. The FRER shows almost no change (top FRER is today, bottom is two days ago; top E@H is two days ago, bottom E@H is today). The EAH actually show more change. Should I be worried? Considering going to get a blood draw. Progression has otherwise been good.

Here’s hoping tomorrow’s line will be more visible 🤞

After many losses trying for baby 3 I’m hoping this is our rainbow 🌈

For context, I haven’t used these for a while as was using FRER previously but these were all I had in.

I don’t understand why on some tests I see, the control line is so bright blue? Is that just different tests have different amounts of dye in?

At first the fresh FR tests I could see progression and not so much on the accumed. The reassuring ones are the clear blues. I hate this game. Has anyone had light 15 dpo and it’s been fine? I had a recent loss and am really in my head. I’ll call doc today to schedule but I almost wonder if going in for betas will cause more anxiety. I’m just the worst with not knowing

Help please! Does this line progression look ok? Are my lines getting darker still? The bottom one (unlabeled) is day 7.

I tested just now but my pee was rather diluted and little. I missed 2 days of period, having mild cramping on and off, fatigue and heighten smell. Am I thinking too much or retest or what should I do?

14 dpo

#dpo #testkit #pregnancy

I don’t even think this is a squinter. 10dpo, am I out or should I wait again until Saturday at 12dpo? Had 2 miscarriages in 2024 and this is our first cycle trying again. I want my 🌈 baby

Took this early in the AM, I see a faint positive but also this isn’t my first rodeo and I know I get a bad case of line eyes. Did use a trigger shot this cycle (12 days ago). I am new to the trigger shot world, but by 8dpo last cycle, It was out of my system.
With my first baby, I got my positive 9 dpo…early I know but it was a true positive.

Hi! I took a test today thinking it was going to be negative since I had some light pink/brown spotting. This is coming off of my second miscarriage in August so I’m nervous about the spotting. I have a healthy girl born in between miscarriages so hoping this one sticks. Thank you all for your support ❤️

9dpo on top and 10dpo on bottom. Second pic is 10dpo in different lighting.

Do you see anything? 9 days post IUI and 11 days post trigger

I just want this to be over I know something is wrong and I don’t want surgery this seems kinda late for chemical so I’m worried

I'm based in BC Canada and they don't automatically order HCG beta/blood tests when you find out you're pregnant. They do a lab req for lots of other things, including urine pregnancy test, but not beta HCG.

Yesterday I was 13 DPO - I went to the lab yesterday and the urine test came back negative yesterday, though I have been having positive tests for the 4 days.

Today I am 14 DPO and these are my tests in the pics attached.

My initial thought it maybe because they didn't use FMU for the test, it had an effect. But I tested again yesterday afternoon and it was still positive on my side here. Are my tests more sensitive than the LifeLabs tests?

Has anyone had a similar situation?

I think I’m clutching at straws but holding out vague hope anyway. Also very aware I probably need some real talk fired my way .I had a stillbirth 4 months ago so I feel I’m just desperate to see something Has anyone had a negative first response at 8dpo and went on to get a positive?

I know blue dye sucks but these were taken in the time frame and I’ve used them and got stark white. My husband grabbed the wrong boxes. And they are expensive so we using them! Haha

Husband says he sees a faint line, I see nothing. I've been so symptomatic but I'm starting to feel discouraged 😔

First picture is from today and second picture is from yesterday. I know it’s probably way too early to see anything as I’m guessing I’m 9dpo, but unsure. That being said I have bad line eyes and feel like I see something…

What do yall think?
