Light BFP's that turned into a real baby??

[junkinmytrunk]

Today is 10DPO and I got a fairly light BFP. I've been getting them since 8DPO actually -- they've gotten a bit darker each day but not TONS darker.

My question -- do you think light positives are more a sign of a chemical pregnancy rather than having a sticky baby? Sigh. I sure hope this is real --- we've been TTC for 2 years with 3 m/c's under out belt. We are actually waiting for me to get AF now to go in for IVF b/w. If this is a real baby --- I can't even tell you how excited we'd be.

So the long and short of it....if you had light BFPs -- that resulted in a happy/healthy baby, PLEASE let me know.

(PS - seeing OB tomorrow to check betas).

TIA!

[LeslieR]

I had several very faint BFPs on 9DPO (I didn't trust the first one, so I ran out and bought $50 worth of tests, including a digi one. :o ). I never tested again after that first day. I'm 35w6d pregnant today. :D

[ButterflyJen]

I had a light positive on probably 12DPO or 14DPO (I always waited till I was pretty sure AF was going to be late). I retested three days later and it was a good, dark line. DD will be 11 months old on Friday. :)

[junkinmytrunk]

Thanks guys! You're making me :D ..........now if only the betas look good tomorrow and Thursday........

Here's a second part to the question...did you have implantation spotting. I am fairly sure I did, at 5-7 DPO. Once I got the BFP I started taking progesterone supps just to be safe. Anyone?

[LeslieR]

No spotting. But, I had implantation cramps for lack of a better term. I felt it for several days. A very strange feeling-like a stitch in your side.

Go, Junk, GO!!!

[J&K2003]

I had very very light tests on 9 and 10 DPO which turned into more obvious positives on 11 DPO. No spotting here.

Good luck!!!

[wildcat]

I tested for the first time on 12DPO and had a very faint but there line. Each day they got a bit darker and I'm now 29weeks pregnant! I didn't have any implantation spotting, but did have some sharp pains around 9DPO that could have been implantation. Good luck and it sounds like congratulations are in order!

[jules1025]

I had implantation spotting on 8dpo, which led to me taking a test 9dpo. I got the faintest line ever (DH couldn't even see it). I continued to take tests through 11dpo with the line getting a little darker each time but still faint. I finally sprung for a digital test on 11dpo that confirmed I was pregnant. Best of luck to you! :)

[jengen]

I got a light line at 15 DPO, that gradually got darker and I'm now almost 18 weeks pregnant. I got a BFN at 12 DPO and had implantation spotting days 7-10. Good luck!!

[junkinmytrunk]

Ohhh thanks so much girls. Trying desperately not to get too excited. I'll just have to be patient and wait for the danged beta tomorrow.

This would TRULY be the *best* birthday present, EVER!!!

[Heather719]

Hey Junk!

Ack- so so so excited for you! Sending you lots of sticky vibes! :D

-Heather

[ButterflyJen]

Yeppers, I spotted, too. :D Wishing you luck!!!!!

[flygirl]

Nothing to add but GOOD LUCK!

[junkinmytrunk]

thanks for the "good lucks" guys -- Heather! Glad to see you over here, too!

I'll post tomorrow after the doc's appt......

[ShannonGH]

I hope this is it for you Junk! I've spent enough time in the FP section of the other site that I know a BFP is long overdue for you and your Dh. I hope everything goes well tomorrow and you have good news to share with us! :D

[BooeyJ2]

After a year of TTC we finally got our BFP(s).....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v147/BooeyJ2/HPTs3.jpg

They got darker with each day....

and eventually our little girl arrived :)



*GOOD LUCK!!!* :)

[BTB]

I was so scared when my BFPs stayed light from 13dpo to 16dpo - I also had betas every third day until they were high enough to have a vaginal u/s, so I stopped torturing myself with the stupid sticks! They were so light, they looked like negatives unless you really squinted.

For fun, since there was one left in the package, I took another pregnancy test at 10 weeks - the silly thing was still pretty light! DD will be three months old on Wednesday. :D

I had spotting at 8 and 10dpo the cycle I conceived, and was on oral progesterone from 2dpo on, it wasn't enough and I had daily progesterone shots from 6 weeks until about 25 weeks - we'd tried mulitple times to wean me off and finally succeeded.

Good luck! :)

[junkinmytrunk]

guys I'm feeling a little bummed today -- I poas and it was definitely lighter, my temps went down a smidge and my bb's aren't as full and sore as they had been. I know, I know, wait to see the doc but I have that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach...ugh.

:(

not as positive as i was yesterday.....

[Daniel's Kitty]

Hope you get good news today.
Just remember that symptoms can change too. The lines can be different too. Just try not to worry until after you find out what the dr says.
My DH refused to believe that I was pregnant until it was a week after I got my first BFP when he finally saw a dark line that appeared right away.

[jlp]

OMG, JUNK!!! I'm praying really hard for you! Good luck, and try to keep a positive outlook. We're all here for you no matter what happens.

[Heather719]

Sending lots of positive thoughts your way!

[junkinmytrunk]

thanks for the positive vibes, guys.

the POAS at the DR's office did come up + however, we drew the betas and will do so again on Wednesday. until then, i am officially waiting on pins and needles. grrrrrrrrr................

oh, and here' s an annoying interchange between the doc and me, and i actually do like my doc:

ME: "Last monthly period was may 28 and i ovulated on june 30th, making it around 3 weeks-ish"
DOC: "no, that would make you six weeks along"
ME: "are you sure? i ovulated on the 30th"
DOC:"we calculate based on last monthly period."
ME: (thinking to myself) hmph.
So DOC does the ultrasound and sees nothing (other than an ovary with 2 huge cysts and my uterus which looks empty).
DOC: "hmmm...you look closer to being 3 weeks along." (whatever that means)
ME: (to myself)....sigh.....

I wish I could find a doctor who will listen to me....and I mean really listen!

[JennW]

Good luck! Baby dust your way. Hope these few days of waiting go fast. Congrats!:) Sounds like you have something to celebrate.:D

[ShannonGH]

That's great news Junk! I hope Weds brings you even better news!!!

[crazycaro]

See my avatar? She was a light BFP. :D

Seriously, I took 8 HPT's in total, over 5 days (from about 10DPO I think). First ones were very very light. I didn't get a dark line until the very last test, 5 days after first testing.

Even 4 days after my first BFP I got a light line when doing a pee test at the doctors office.

Good luck!!!

[cr8zyforaf]

Sending good thoughts your way.

Just for the record - I also had a fight with my RE about the same issue - I ovulate LATE in my cycle - so when he looked at my Betas and did an ultrasound he was alarmed because what he saw wasn't in line with what he thought he should be seeing (he put me at 6 weeks when I knew at the very most I was 4 weeks). He insisted on using the first day of my last period as a starting point when I knew that would not be accurate. After leaving his office hysterical and having to wait a week for another ultrasound, everything turned out fine. I am now 32 weeks along. I also had very light lines (DH couldn't even see it).

I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you and DH!

[junkinmytrunk]

Well, temp was up today by .3 degrees --- so I'm feeling a smidge better.


And might I say I am very happy to see so many names /faces from the other site!!

[BooeyJ2]

Keeping my fingers (and toes!) crossed for you!!!!!!!!!! :)

[nic]

Sending good thoughts and prayers your way!

[Daniel's Kitty]

Hope the next few days go well. You could always adjust your period time to be the number of days it "should be" from O. That way the doc would believe you without scaring you.

[junkinmytrunk]

Guys, yesterday's BETA at 11DPO was 149.....getting hopeful!!

[cr8zyforaf]

That is a very good number - keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

[jay&erinn]

Just saw your thread, and wanted to wish you good luck. I think I remember us both being a part of the June 2005 mommies thread over on WC.
I miscarried just before 7 weeks that time around, and know how stressful this is right now. Keep us posted- I'll be thinking of you.

[jlp]

Great news, JUNK!! I'm very happy for you! :)

[JennW]

Sounds like good news!:D

[Daniel's Kitty]

Yea!!

[Jaycee]

Good luck!! Heres some ~~~Baby dust~~~

[ocgatita]

Just wanted to come by and wish you good luck and H&H 9 months :)

[HGMorgann]

M. was a light BFP. Honestly, I was too scared to test again (that it would come up negative) so it never got darker. But she came along 41 1/2 weeks later:)..well not really, since i was 4 wks, it was more like 38 weeks later ;) best of luck to you. praying for a healthy little one

[aprilshowers]

Oh junk, just saw your post! I'm so happy for you! Many sticky vibes heading your way... :D

[junkinmytrunk]

Guys - SOOOOOOOOOO Excited!!!

13DPO Beta was 364!!!

Going in again on Monday.....Thanks to everyone for your kind words in this thread!!!!

[Jaycee]

[JennW]

[matryoshka]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/jjpete/IMGP0869.jpg

glad to hear of your nice high betas -- go ahead and POAS again just to feel good -- this was my pic from the next day, waaaaaay darker:

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5dd24b3127cce90cdd0c67d9600000016108UbOW7hk0Y

H&H 9 mos!! Congrats!

[jlp]

Congratulations on that great Beta #!

[cr8zyforaf]

WOO HOO..Great Beta number!!!

[mel7dog]

Just adding my test for anyone doubting a "faint line" in the future!

9 and 10 DPO
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d630b3127cce93d5b33e115600000016108Aas3Dhi2Yt0

15 DPO
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d635b3127cce93dadb948a4b00000016108Aas3Dhi2Yt0

A line is a line ladies :D

[smiles33]

Ok, so I just took an HPT and I'm not sure if it's a faint line or just a "stain" from the pink color moving across the window. It's an EPT test and the faint line/squiggly thing is not exactly in the center of the circle. DH is out of town and brought the digital camera with him so I can't post it here....anyone think it's just irrelevant or if it's a real BFP? I'm CD 33, roughly 15DPO if I estimated correctly (but I'm not charting, this is based on having EWCM). I also had unexpected heavy spotting on CD 10...ACK! Freaking out and it's too late to call anyone!

[Mrs. M.]

this was DPO 14, I think.

She is turning 2 next weekend :D

Best wishes!

[bluhimmy]

Sorry for the really blurry picture, but the line wasn't any more clearer in person...

At 16 DPO - AM
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3cc38b3127cce9e16a1aa4f1a00000036108AaNnDRq0bs4

DS just turned "1" last Friday. :D

Seriously, a line is a line! ;) Sending lots of sticky vibes to you ladies. :D

[marchfamily]

Go, Junk, Go!

[mel7dog]

Bump, bump, bump! Not for me, but still :D

[mel7dog]

BUMP for ocgitita!

[shellbell516]

Here was mine at 18 dpo.
http://images.snapfish.com/3458%3A%3B9%3C4%7Ffp46%3Dot%3E2329%3D679%3D963%3DX ROQDF%3E23236%3A538%3B5%3A2ot1lsi

I tested at 14 dpo and got a negative. Now I have a 4 month old!

[Wrighty26]

I got a super faint line at 11DPO, so faint that I thought I was imagining it. It didn't seem to get much daker. At 14 DPO I tested with a digital and got a definite "Pregnant".

Of course, my husband didn't actually believe I was pregnant until this week when he heard the heartbeat (I'm 13 weeks)! :rolleyes:

[amurphy]

My first BFP (on 12 DPO) was so faint that I had to hold it up to the window to see the line. I'm 15 weeks pregnant. Good luck! :D

[LyLMyssChaos]

Both of the cuties in my avatar were VERY faint lines. So faint that we thought they were both evaporation lines. Then when we went to the doctor to get tested, they actually did the tests twice because they said if I had come in a day earlier, my levels wouldn't have been high enough. LOL So as everyone else keeps telling ya. A line, is a line, is a line. :D :)

[jmvan74]

I had a light line on 9 and 10DPO. Now I have a 6 month old. ;)

[DallasLady]

Bump

I got a very faint line this evening (11dpo). I am testing again tomorrow, and will be back to tell you how it goes!

[aprilshowers]

Oh DallasLady, teeny tiny congrats to you! Will be sending positive sticky vibes in your direction!

[heidi0622]

Fingers crossed for you Dallas Lady!

[mel7dog]

Bump

[Candy]

My lines never got dark. Maya just turned 1 last week! :)

Congrats, you are so pregnant junk!!

Congrats DallasLady!!

[JennW]

*bump*

[Standrea]

Thanks for bumping this for me Jenn!

I got a very faint line last night, and then another very faint line this morning. So faint, in fact, that i thought i was imagining it, and would carry it to different rooms to see the different lighting with it. Its so faint, but its still a line.

I have been on 100 mg of Clomid this round, so hopefully, its for real!

[catmom]

My test at 10dpo with dd was so faint that I actually took the test apart and held it up against the window- I could almost not tell if there was anything there or not. It was really much lighter than any of the photos here- I doubt it even would have shown up! I didn't even tell DH about it until I tested again the next day- there's no way he would have believed it was a real line. I won't test that early again.

I don't think it's likely to get a really dark line unless you are really pretty late in the game. After all, at 10dpo you are only like 3 days pg!

[Mystikal]

Standrea congratulations!!! :D I am sending lots of stickies your way. That's AWESOME!!!

[Lolly]

I got a very faint line last night, and then another very faint line this morning. So faint, in fact, that i thought i was imagining it, and would carry it to different rooms to see the different lighting with it. Its so faint, but its still a line.


as you know that's me too, since yesterday's and this morning's line was very faint. I did compare it the first test from my pregnancy with DD (yes, I still have it) and it actually looks the same. So...I hope tomorrow that line is darker.

[Kelly51703]

Good luck Lolly! I hope this is it :)

[Lolly]

Thanks Kelly!

[Bloomwood]

Bumping for more good stories. I got a really really faint line yesterday not using FMU. When I used FMU today it really wasn't much darker. Today is CD 28; last month was a 28 dayer and the month before was 31. I don't chart, so don't know O date. Just hoping this is healthy sticky!

[Lolly]

Bloomwood, YAY!

[Bloomwood]

Thanks, Lolly. Clearly I'm PG, I just want to know I'll stay pg, you know?

Would love to hear + stories from anyone else!!

[snoopy30]

I got a very faint (faint like I had to hold it up to the light to see it) BFP at 12DPO and I was (as you can see below) pregnant. AF wasn't due for another day or two but I could tell there was "something" on the test (I had seen plenty of negatives to know what that looked like!).

Good luck!

[Bloomwood]

Thanks! I am feeling confident now...many tests later :p. I think I just o'd later than I thought (I don't chart).

[JennW]

Congrats Bloomwood!:)

[Bliss]

I had a very faint line (so light I had to put it up against white walls to *really* see it) on a First Response preg test, and 9 months later Dylan was born :) So I think a line is a line, relax and enjoy :)
