How your temp rises, plus your EWCM and OPKs, just make it look like you Oed 2 days later than what FF says.



Oh and if it makes you feel better...

if your levels were 15 the last day you tested and got a negative... and only doubled every 48 hours since... your level would ONLY be in the 200s. So yeah, Id actually be pretty confident with that number.

Its healthy to double every 24-48 hours... assuming (and yeah this is a big assumption) your levels were 15 that last negative test, you were doubling around every 30 to 32 hours or so... if I did my math right. Even if I did it wrong it wont be off by much.

I'm going to try overriding it to see what happens.

[Mama~Love]

Not much change. I'm still completely baffled by this whole thing! It feels surreal!

[NeverBeenHappier]

WOW! Just saw your story and wanted to pop in and give you a HUGE CONGRATS!!!

What a wonderful surprise!

Thanks Mae, that does make me feel better !

Oh, and does this mean that charting will be useless to me for birth control in the future ?

[MaerynPearl]

Not as birth control but as confirming pregnancy maybe... It does seem to mean you didn't need the soy if this was your first month of it.

[Mama~Love]

The last 3 cycles I have been using Clomid, and researched the soy & it's supposed to be a natural form of Clomid, so I thought I'd try it this cycle instead of Clomid - never thinking I was actually pregnant! I wouldn't have taken it at all if I'd have known.

I changed the "AF" to just spotting so it's all on one chart, otherwise it would start a new one.

Thanks for the support!

its not nothing!

its your uterus growing and is TOTALLY normal.

the spotting could be caused by a ton of things, including if you have had a cervical check lately or DTD... or even not that it can be totally benign things like a subchorionic hematoma or even just a sensitive cervix which is starting to break a few blood vessels (not a problem)

Though having had breakthrough bleeding when your period was due... I would almost expect to have spotting off and on through the first tri.

One question though, did you have your progesterone levels checked? I dont think it would cause you to lose baby (especially with THOSE numbers) to be without progesterone suppositories but a lot of women with spotting start progesterone and it stops. If that would help you handle this any, it may be something to discuss with your doctor.

Thanks Mae! I didn't have my progesterone checked, but my Dr. automatically put me on 200mg Prometrium, and said I should take it orally. Should I take it vaginally instead?

call and ask if that would be alright before doing so

you should always take medication as the doctor prescribes or ask them before changing it.

[Mama~Love]

I'll be calling them in a bit; having more brownish pink disharge, and slight achy pain on my lower left side that just started this morning.
