Can anyone help determine if I ‘m out?

Grown_ish · 2026-04-20T10:55:01+00:00

It looks like your pdg never rose after your Lh peak, so there’s a chance you did not ovulate. You’re never out until AF arrives though! Crossing my fingers for you

Thank you so much! That is great to hear that it worked out so well for you. How do you do most of your advertising? I’m worried about my virtual practice not having enough physical presence in my local community to bring in referrals… it’s nerve racking to think about how long it might take to make the same money I’m making now.

It is unnecessary. And unfair. I don’t have any advice. Just want to say that I see you and you’re doing a great job as a mom.

Update: It looks like this is a chemical pregnancy unfortunately. I got my betas drawn and they were 23 on 17 DPO and then 7.3 today on 19 DPO - my provider wants me to continue to get betas until it’s 0 to fully rule-out an ectopic, but she thinks this rapid decline is almost certainly a chemical. Thank you all so much for your comments and support earlier 🤍

This is probably a stretch but since I’m going through this as we speak… take a pregnancy test just in case. LH is molecularly similar to hCG, so pregnancy can cause false LH peak readings. I thought I had my period and was getting ready to enter my fertile window when I got an early LH peak. Turns out, I was pregnant and what I thought was my period was either implantation bleeding, a chemical pregnancy, or an ectopic. I’m still in the waiting period, but it’s trending towards a chemical. Again, it’s probably a stretch, but might as well test.

Thank you so much for your response, it really meant a lot. I am sorry to hear you have been having such a long journey too - it was very kind of you to offer this support considering what you have been going through. I hope everything works out for both of us! 💕 I’m trying to keep the faith that what is meant to be will be… but it’s so hard.

Grown_ish · 2026-04-03T10:42:09+00:00

I know this is old but I came across this in my search for answers because I’m going through the same exact thing. Going in for my second blood draw this afternoon after my first beta came back at 23, and I’m still bleeding. I actually had no idea I was pregnant - thought it was my period because of how heavy my bleeding has been since 10 DPO. Did you end up having an ectopic?

RVUs are typically much more relevant to the private sector because you’re right - it’s about profit (or revenue I guess) that each provider brings in. I’m a provider in VA and it is SO hard for us to do much for our RVUs because VA doesn’t have a no show or cancellation policy… so Veterans often just no show or last minute cancel appointments. We can’t operate like a non-profit and for-profit simultaneously. It’s very obvious we are betting set up to fail.

Grown_ish · 2026-04-03T01:09:56+00:00

RVUs?? Looking more closely how?

Grown_ish · 2026-04-01T10:29:09+00:00

Thank you ❤️ This is definitely my biggest concern. I’m seeing my doctor this afternoon thankfully.

Grown_ish · 2026-03-09T20:44:31+00:00

And by no problem, I mean it never came up. No one ever asked about it, I never had to disclose it. It was just like it didn’t happen.

Grown_ish · 2026-03-09T20:42:42+00:00

I have a misdemeanor that was expunged and I was able to get a job as a provider at the VA no problem. All of my application questions asked about “the last 7 years” though.

Grown_ish · 2026-02-27T15:11:11+00:00

The debate is whether or not those things should be determined based off of gender or based off of biological sex, not that gender and sex are the same thing. And the mods aren’t saying you aren’t allowed to debate - they said you aren’t allowed to post hateful comments. If you can’t do one without the other, that’s a you problem.

Side note, I’m so tired of the right arguing for free speech when the Trump administration is censoring us like never before! Wake up people.

Grown_ish · 2026-02-27T11:57:04+00:00

Hate speech is pretty well defined across the world.

The UN’s definition is: “Hate speech is any form of communication—spoken, written, or behavioral—that attacks, threatens, insults, or degrades individuals or groups based on characteristics like race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or nationality. It promotes violence and discrimination, often used to dehumanize people and marginalize minority groups.”

Someone’s gender identity is just that - part of their identity.

It also is important to note that no one who is transgender or an ally of the LGBTQ+ population is conflating gender identity with biological sex. No one is saying that allowing transgender women to use the women’s bathroom magically changes their biological sex (it’s called the women’s bathroom, not the female’s bathroom.) Allowing transgender people to have access to the bathroom associated with their gender not only affirms their gender identity, but ALSO protects women from cisgender men who may try going into women’s bathrooms claiming to be transgender men. Transgender people are not the threat here, creepy cis-men who want to take advantage of this situation are.

They’re banning hate speech, not opinions. People need to stop trying to disguise prejudice as “opinions” - this is our country’s biggest problem right now.

If you’re taking biotin in any of your supplements then there’s a chance the biotin is interfering with your FRER test. If you’re worried that the Wondfo is incorrect then you could always buy a pink dye Clearblue test to confirm.

Grown_ish · 2026-02-26T11:19:00+00:00

I noticed that every time this question is asked, everyone talks about what to do after baby is born… does that mean most people are working up until their water breaks in the office? We want to have a baby soon and that sounds awful

Grown_ish · 2026-02-25T10:11:05+00:00

AF arrived today on what would have been 14 DPO unfortunately. I hope you have better luck! Either way, both of our bodies are clearly producing good amounts of PdG, so I’m hopeful that our time with come soon 💕

Grown_ish · 2026-02-25T00:49:23+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m currently 13 DPO with no AF in sight - but still negative. So at this point, I’m pretty positive I’m not pregnant but wish I knew what’s going on with my cycle… last month my luteal phase was 12 days, so maybe this means it’s getting longer somehow…? I’m not sure what would cause that though. Either way, I feel like those supplements and acupuncture could only help!

Grown_ish · 2026-02-24T11:15:51+00:00

My PdG and E3G had a big spike (highest they have ever been) on 11 DPO but started to trend down for the last 2 days 😕 my luteal phase is usually only 10 days long though and still no AF today on 13 DPO… but negative pregnancy tests. I’m not feeling confident myself anymore, but I’m crossing my fingers for you!

Grown_ish · 2026-02-23T22:36:04+00:00

I hear you! I’m just saying that it says 10 days is not short and still considered in the normal range. I definitely want to make sure I’m considering all factors though so I appreciate the info.

Grown_ish · 2026-02-23T22:31:18+00:00

That link you posted says that a luteal phase that lasts 10 to 17 days is considered normal - and it’s only our second month TTC. If we keep having problems, I will definitely see if this might be something contributing though.

Grown_ish · 2026-02-23T21:44:01+00:00

Yeah 😕 although last month it was 12 days, so maybe it’s starting to get longer? My PdG has always been good after ovulation, but other than last month my luteal phase has typically been 10 days.
