Hello! I was on this board a couple years ago when I was pregnant with DD. She is now 15 months.
I found out last Friday that I am pregnant! It was actually very confusing, although we had been trying. I got what I thought was AF on October 3rd, but I guess it wasn't!? We were trying in Sept., but it seemed to be a weird month for me. I had a chemical pregnancy in August, then I had a horrible cold and sinus infection for practically all of Sept. I was doing OPK's and didn't get any positives. Then, my 'period' on Oct. 3rd was actually 3 days late. I POAS for the 3 days it was late, and they all seemed negative. (unless the line was so faint I couldn't catch it with a quick look)
So anyway, this month, I started doing OPK's early, and they were all turning up positive for almost a week straight! After 4 positives, I turned to google, lol. I read somewhere that sometimes an OPK could pick up a pregnancy. I had some Wondfo's, so I decided to use one, and to my surprise it was positive right away!
I'm thinking I ovulated late last month and am very confused about my 'period'. I called my doctor on Monday and then had some betas done later that day that were 879. So from his guess, I might be around 5 weeks?? I have to go back today to make sure they are rising appropriately. I'm soooooooo nervous for some reason! But for today, I am pregnant.
Hopefully I am here to stay!
UPDATE: My doctor just called and said that my betas from yesterday went down to the 200's. Very early miscarriage. They want me to get my blood drawn again Friday to make sure they're going back down to zero. And wait a month to start trying again. Hopefully I'll be back here in a few months!
I had a similar experience where I had the stomach flu and a bunch of other weird stuff that was probably unrelated, but I was pregnant. Our bodies are strange:)
