Waiting for a CP to end?

[onthemove]

Anyone seriously think they were experience a CP and just have to wait for it to end? We had decent timing, and I had cramping 7 days later that I thought was implantation, but no temp drop. Then about 12 days post ovulation I had a temp drop, and expected my period to show Friday. Temp was back up Fri so I took a test, the faintest of lines was there. Sat temp remained up, now 14 days out, took 2 more tests with different urine, both again super faint. Temp still up this morning but didn’t have the heart to test. Everything I’ve read says that implantation at 11 days is 52% likely a CP and 12 days is 82%.

I just want this to end. Even if it continues, it seems like the likelihood of chromosome abnormalities will be so high. My cycles are so irregular and long I just want to move on because it will be weeks until we get another chance.

My almost 8 yo was a negative at 14 DPO and a positive at 20 DPO. My cycles were very weird (I was coming off a M/C) so I tested at day 32 and day 41. I had been temping the entire time. A line is a line, but I understand not getting your hopes up. Good luck and I hope you get an answer soon.

If you're getting a very faint line I would actually go and just have a blood test to confirm. Some of the at home tests can give the faint lines and still be negative or give an indent line fairly quickly.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

With my early losses, I typically had to wait about a week before my body did what it needed to do. If it goes on much longer I'd call your doctor.

Thanks everyone. Temp was still up and the test this morning was definitely a light line, one step above squinter, lol. I am going to try and be thankful that today I am pregnant, and not dwell on tomorrow. I will probably give it at least another week before I test again. Knowing they can’t do much for now, I will probably will wait to see if I get to 6 weeks before calling the doc.

I had two CPs and both of them went pretty quickly. Like I had three or four days with squinters and then I miscarried.

I’m thinking good thoughts for you.

I tested again this morning (had to have something positive to look forward to all week!), and it was a normal positive line. It is definitely not as dark as the control line, maybe 2/3rds the darkness, but unmistakable. I wish I hadn't been temping because I wouldn't have known about the dip, and late timing, but I needed to temp to know I ovulated (because I have terrible cycles!). I will give it another week, and call the doctor. I am still much more anxious about the possibility of genetic abnormalities, but will do my best to let that go for a few weeks if the pregnancy continues.

Thank you again everyone.

Fingers crossed for you!!

I'm not sure why the series of temps and light sticks makes you worried about genetic abnormality. Our first DD was found to have a rare genetic disorder and with that pregnancy I got a positive at 9DPO with lines darkening quickly after, so I don't think the pee stick is any indication of genetic factors.

In any case, I've got my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you. The only thing that gives me pause is that from everything I read, the later the implantation (11 or 12 days - which correlate to my temp dip and lighter lines) has a much higher likelihood of early miscarriage due to genetic abnormalities (which is why they implant late, something isn't quite right). I usually love information, but sometimes I can over-analyze. At this point I can't control what has happened, or what will, so I will try to let it go for now and think about the positives!
