Anyone want to tell me a happy story about faint lines on HPTs?

[Anonymous]

OP here: today's beta was negative, so it looks like it was a CP after all. SG's grand plan to avoid dealing with CPs by scheduling the beta so late worked out perfectly for them. This was my fourth failed transfer, but the first where we had a PGS-tested embryo.

Next step: do an ERA and hope it explains why my uterus is so terrible.

So sorry, OP. It is so frustrating and disappointing. I'm glad you caught the CP yourself because now you can focus on understanding your uterus and finding implantation problems. Best of luck to you.

I got my BFN beta result yesterday, and it is just sad. I had tested bfn at home, too, so did not expect good results. I can imagine how I would have felt if I had seen the two lines and expected a positive.

I definitely expected a negative and spent the last few days basically mourning, so today wasn't so terrible. It would be so much worse to go in with high hopes and have them dashed. But a negative is a negative and it freaking sucks.

I didn't get into the CP thing with my nurse (who is kind of a bitch), but I do want to discuss it when I talk to my doctor later this week.

Yes, a negative sucks. I'm right there with you and I'm so sorry for both of us. Do you have any frozen embries? Are you going to try again?

I'm so sorry OP. I saw your original post when you first posted it but I didn't want to respond at the time - whenever I had lines that weren't getting darker from day to day, it was 100% a miscarriage (had 7 in total and a few were very early where the line never darkened).

My faint line is at school right now.

We have one frozen right now. I've posted about it in this thread I'm also the OP of: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/60/515595.page (don't want to clog the board too much!)

Yeah, my hopes were never more than minuscule that this would work out, but I think hearing some positive stories did keep me off the ledge for a bit, if that makes sense. I hope it worked out for you eventually!

Yes they did eventually thanks to an RE who never gave up. What may have helped is that I had endometrial biopsies right before conceiving my 2 daughters. It's the only constant variable so I'm a real believer it can help in cases of otherwise unexplained repeated miscarriages.
Again I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you have a successful pregnancy soon!!

So glad to hear about your daughters! I did an endo scratch (well, two) before this transfer as well. My guess is that's why I had a CP instead of a quicker failure.

I was really hoping adding the endo scratch and PGS this time would do the trick, but nope.

My faint lines are two and 7

I'm so sorry OP. I didn't comment before because I didn't want to discourage you when you still weren't sure, but faint lines for me were never good. I had one likely chemical, one ectopic and one miscarriage. I'm hoping for a strong, early, dark line eventually. Good luck to you.

The darkness of the lines has nothing to do with it.
Take a digital.

Ha, thanks for that. I'm kind of rolling my eyes at those comments, but hey, I kind of asked for it by starting the thread. I was a bit desperate at the moment and it helped me out for a bit.

Glad you are a mom now!
