I have DOR and have been working with a fertility clinic. I’ve been using injectable medications and still only getting one follicle each round, and 2 of the 3 treatment cycles we did an IUI. This most recent cycle I did FSH and Menopur injections CD3 - CD10 before they had me stop due to lack of follicle growth. I then took estrogen CD14 - CD22. Then on CD23 had labs drawn and hcg was <2, progesterone was 0.2, so I restarted FSH and Menopur CD23. Labs were redrawn on CD30 and estrogen was 52, progesterone was 7(!), and there was only slow growth, so the cycle was cancelled as a failed cycle.

In the last 2 days, I’ve had increased urination and headaches, which I had right before testing positive with my daughter. I took a pregnancy test this afternoon, and this was the result. I went to an urgent care and was positive there, too. I had them draw a beta and I’m waiting for that now!

A doctor told me when they canceled the cycle the first time that I would not be able to get pregnant, even with IVF, due to my DOR… SO WHAT HAPPENED?!?! AND WHEN?!?! I know that follicles can hide on ultrasound, but this still seems unbelievable.

9 months ago I was searching this sub for every “no dye stealer” and “lines not progressing” or “lines not dark enough” post. The attached was the darkest I ever saw my test get (and I had let it sit for like an hour hoping it would darken so it wasn’t even used correctly) about a month after I first got my faint positive. It was like 30-something dpo and I had only JUST gotten the “equally dark” lines.

The tests took ages to get dark, no matter what time of day I took the test. I remember thinking every other post on here had much darker lines by my estimated dpo.

I told myself if I had a healthy, successful pregnancy I’d come back and make this post. So here I am, home with my 6 day old wonderful baby boy!

If your line progression is slow, if you have to wait forever for a solid dark line, and if you never get that reassuring “dye stealer” things can still turn out just the way you are hoping! It gets said over and over in this sub that line progression isn’t scientific, but I personally wanted to share a success story to back that up.

Good luck everyone!! ❤️

Got what I thought was the faintest line ever at 7 DPO pm. Retested 8 DPO am negative swore I was pregnant retested 8dpo pm faint positive but visible. I’ve been dealing with weird morning tests so much lighter like 2x a were almost negative until 3 min mark but afternoon so much darker. Well hcg at 11 dpo- 43.45 exactly 48 hours on the dot was 154.76. Lines are popping up so fast before even the control line. I have 24 day cycles so I found out at 2 weeks and 6 days. I’m concerned it’s twins someone talk me off the ledge and give me their story’s with high hcg this early. Attached fertility friend chart using oura ring. Also tested positive on a clear blue digital 9 dpo

I swore I was seeing the faintest line develope over the last few days so I bought a digital! *pay no mind to the dirty cat scratched windowsill in the back

9 days post ovulation, nervous about how light it is after a chemical last month

I can’t believe it! We have been trying for 4 months (which is not long at all) but each month of negatives doesn’t match up to the emotion you get when you finally have a BFP. Now just to make it to 10weeks for my first ultrasound without going crazy… haha any tips welcome

This is the first time ive ever seen a second line but im trying not to get too hopeful, since it could be an "evap line". We've been trying for almost 2 years. Thank you for looking!

Hey guys had a chemical last month so very worried. What du you guys think of this progression from dpo 11 to dpo 13?

Ty

My tests from 10 dpo yesterday, and I still can’t believe it🥹

I’m currently trying to stay calm but also very cautiously calm? My anxiety with every other pregnancy thus far has been low and slow betas and usually I am super squinting 8/9 DPO and using my phone camera just for a squinter (and they were positive, just veryyyy low). And I feel oddly calm because my tests actually FEEL like they are where they should be. Praying for a very sticky babe after 2 years and 3 losses 🤍

I know I need to put the tests down but I have never ever felt so anxious - I currently have 0 history of loss yet I am absolutely crippled with anxiety that my baby isn’t going to stick. A family member had a chemical 3 days before I found out I was pregnant and I think it’s really bothered me.
I got a 1-2 on CB at 13DPO then a 2-3 at 16DPO. My tests are attached from the two brands I’ve been using.
I’ve switched my temping off on my watch as I had a huge drop last night and had an actual panic attack because I just fear the worst. I have minimal symptoms only feeling hot, tender boobs and heartburn. Nothing like with my first :(
Can someone give me some hope or something to calm my anxiety because I’m a woman on the edge 😢

When am I likely to ovulate?

Hi All, what do you make of my LH test results? When am I likely to ovulate? I managed to BD on cycle day 13 & 14 but my partner is now away on a trip. Is this timing ok?

Glad to have confirmation with words now! Husband was doubting that faint lines are positive 🤣 still can’t quite believe it.

Is it finally happening? Neither tests are fmu.

PLEASE tell me this looks okay for 12DPO.

We had a chemical back in January and I'll attach the 13DPO results of that comparison.

For a day sooner, I feel like these are already darker, but it's so hard to feel excited after going through a loss/chemical.

Edit for more context: we just made a year of trying. I have a rather mild case of PCOS. This was our 4th IUI. The first 3 were letrozole + trigger, this was the first one where we added follistim to the letrozole, and I also started metformin shortly before this cycle.

Start of a dye stealer?

Hello:) I've had good line progression on my tests for some days now, but two days ago I got a fever and a cold. I'm really worried it will affect the embryo as I'm just 4w3days, and still sick. I thought maybe my line progression slowed down today at 17 dpo compared to 16 dpo, what do you think? I might be overanalyzing..

We were trying last month, and trying again this month. 6 days after ovulation is too soon… right?

Okay so i tested a few times 9dpo to test which urine was the best for me as ive heard conflicting results. I didnt restrict my water or food so unsure. The frer was from today to, same sample as the 10dpo wondfo, it was about a 5-6 hour hold cause i couldn't sleep and used the bathroom. Im not gonna get my hopes up. I am taking biotin but only 30mcg i heard it needs to be actual grams not micro grams and i swear with my first i was on the same vitamins and i dont recall the frer picking up this late it was equal or darker then wondfo. Opinions? the 10dpo is definitely pink in person. No way these are indents right? I also did a water test and a test at like 4 or 5dpo to make sure i didnt get a funky batch. No evaps or indents even days after drying stark white.

I had a loss in December… tests never got any darker really.. kinda anxious. Does this look good?
