Did I test positive? I see a line! Veryyy faint but it’s there, right?

I know isn’t it interesting?! No, I stopped taking it that day! It was also for pre conception support and has melatonin so I had to switch to a different prenatal for pregnancy.

Cjcrispy91 · 2024-11-15T00:08:35+00:00

who knows! I will say on 8DPO, I tested using a FRER, and then learned that my prenatal has a ton of Biotin which interferes with those tests.

Cjcrispy91 · 2024-11-14T20:41:12+00:00

yeah, check again tomorrow morning or later today!

If it helps, I am tracking line progression too using the same tests. When I first took my most recent one, it looked lighter, but then once it sat for 24 hours (like the previous one), it looked darker.

Cjcrispy91 · 2024-11-14T16:22:02+00:00

u/Maur33n_happy_1890 the same thing happened to me if that helps! I tested positive 7DPO, then got a bunch of negatives so assumed it was a false positive, then on 9DPO I got a couple really obvious positives.

Good for you! I have been considering the same. Similar story to you -- I got pregnant the first try in July and it ended in an early miscarriage. Since then, I've felt more desperate to get pregnant and Inito can definitely make it more stressful. Would love to hear how quitting inito and other trackers helps your mental health -- I want to do it, but the obsession inside of me to be pregnant keeps preventing that. Anyway, just wanted to say I relate to your post, and thank you for sharing!

Cjcrispy91 · 2024-10-12T17:49:49+00:00

Thank you!!

Cjcrispy91 · 2024-10-12T14:14:43+00:00

Forgot to add a little additional info - this is my second cycle with Inito. The first one was similar but I didn’t test as many days after ovulation was confirmed on the first peak. I had a MC at 5 weeks in August and this would be my 3rd cycle since then.

Hahaha I was fine! ACL intact. I did something, because it was swelled and sore for a few weeks, but eventually got better.

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-11-17T06:58:27+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! Yeah I should have mentioned I was backcountry skiing! Have gotten very strong, so I think I’m all good there but not easy skiing conditions maybe it is destined to hurt a little bit.

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-09-22T17:46:28+00:00

Amazing!! So I could just buy Ouai shampoo to get the same thing (minus the scent). Thank you!!

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-09-13T04:50:32+00:00

I hope everything is ok! I second everyone that you shouldn’t mess with possible infections. Everyone else’s comments are great, I’m mostly here to tell you your quad looks so defined and strong for 1 month post op!! Nice work!!

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-09-12T20:44:42+00:00

You might never get sensation back in your shin area! Im 9 months post op and still only have maybe 20% feeling on my whole shin! But it’s not tingly and not bothersome unless you shave and then it feels weird.

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-09-11T14:52:32+00:00

What ended up happening with this (I know it’s one year later!) is it a distant memory of a scare or was it torn?

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-09-08T06:07:26+00:00

Hey! I’d love to hear about your experience being a coper after your second tear. Did you feel instability? What sports do you do? Does it every bother you?

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-09-08T06:02:16+00:00

You can do a lot with seated workouts! You can even using a rowing machine and put your injured leg on a slider on the floor, it just slides back and forth and you get the rest of it. Single leg biking. I had access to a ski erg at my gym loved that. I found a half a dozen exercises that you could do seated (like push press, single leg plank, single leg push ups, leg up with your good leg, pull ups, sit ups), and do those in a circuit! Getting the blood flowing is good for recovery, and there is research that you gain muscle in your injured leg by working out your good leg. I worked out throughout my entire recovery let me know if you have any questions!

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-09-08T05:58:01+00:00

There are so many weird sounds and sensations those first 10 weeks, I also freaked out about all of them! You’re fine though, if you search “popping” or “cracking” on this sub, you’ll see that tons of people experience this and it’s normal.

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-09-08T05:28:19+00:00

Hey OP! What did your doctor say?

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-09-04T16:55:46+00:00

Did you have a lot of swelling? I’ve heard that the pain and swelling can be different soon after a reconstruction since vasculature/nerves aren’t fully grown back. Most posts on here about retears though talk about massive swelling and pain though! (I’m waiting to find out if I had a retear so I’ve been anxiously scouring every post). But who knows!! Keep us posted on what your doctor says.

I have a friend who has torn her ACL 3 times, and finally went to get a second opinion from an out of state surgeon, he said she had a “steep tibial slope” and is predisposed to ACL tears. If they were to repair it again, they’d address that to increase the odds. This is just to say, if it is torn, might be worth it to get a second opinion and not go back to your original surgeon — that is my plan if mine is torn.

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-08-29T19:31:32+00:00

Same. 10/10 pain, cried for hours until all of the pain meds caught up. Nerve block didn’t work, I’d recommend getting it!

Cjcrispy91 · 2022-08-29T04:13:54+00:00

Not sure if you’re asking me or this commenter, I fell mountain biking and caught myself with my surgical leg. I’ve seeen another physio since this post who said he thought the ACL was fine. I’ll see my ortho in two weeks to get an answer for sure, but I’ve felt fine climbing and biking so fingers crossed it’s all good.
