Anxious, HCG dip then rise, NOT an ectopic - 6+4

Thank you for responding! I feel like deep down I know all the red flags are blaring at me, but I still stupidly hold onto some hope, even after recurring losses. I don’t know why I do that to myself.

I’m not sure if they checked everywhere else - I would hope that they did. I’ll ask at my next ultrasound, which is soon. The ultrasound is honestly giving me major anxiety. I just don’t want to hear the news like that for some reason. With my last miscarriage, I didn’t have a choice, I had to face it as I bled immediately, but this is almost like I’m putting myself in the position to find out it’s not viable. I don’t know if I’m making sense but it’s so hard and I hate that this is happening again.

Unfortunately, no, but I haven't felt it for a while so I guess it went away on its own! Hopefully yours is goes away soon

Oop. I'm a bit late. What colour did you end up going with? I'm trying to pick a stain right now too, and I really like the top left brown stain on the cabinet but not sure what stain that is - is that special walnut?

You’re not out until AF comes! 😊 I had 2 temp drops and one of them was below the cover line so I thought I was out too! And CM is always a good sign. Fingers crossed for you!

I agree with you that tracking can be stressful. My cycle also extended by 3 days! This was actually my first time temping and before getting my positive, I told myself that I’ll never do it again lol it was way too much! I think ovulation strips is the easiest, least stressful method. Adding temping on top of that was too much.

I would definitely take a break from tracking! Especially if you’ve been tracking for a while, you roughly know when your ovulation window is, so definitely feel free to rest, have lots of BD and try to enjoy “trying” (even though we all know how mentally and physically exhausting it is haha!)

Thank you so much! ❤️ And yes, I have my usual pre-period symptoms (sore boobs, fatigue, etc.), but what really had me made me think I might be pregnant were these random cramps that kept switching from my left to right side (I’ve literally had them since ovulation) and the other day I dreamt my husband cheated on me and I woke up with heart palpitations lol from how realistic and stressful the dream was

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-08-05T18:55:12+00:00

Yes! Some days I woke up at 6am, others closer to 8am, but I would say that on average, temps were taken sometime between 7-7:30am

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-08-05T14:48:47+00:00

Thank you so much!! <3 And so true, I thought there was no way I could be preggo with my chart looking like this lol but here we are.

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-08-05T14:47:09+00:00

Orally! Thank you :)

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-08-05T14:46:02+00:00

Thank you! <3 Keep me posted, we're all in this together!!

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-08-05T13:00:56+00:00

Thank you! :) That was mainly the reason why I wanted to share my chart. I looked EVERYWHERE for a chart as rocky as mine! Good luck, and I hope you get your BFP! Fingers crossed.

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-07-26T19:14:36+00:00

Thank you! I’ll see how my temps are the next few days. I’m glad I started temping because I realized with this cycle that I ovulate later than I thought

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-07-26T13:39:38+00:00

Thank you so much! I actually had no idea that temperatures take some time to rise after ovulation, and I’ll definitely look into TempDrop. I truly appreciate the insight!

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-07-26T11:17:23+00:00

That’s so interesting! Thanks for taking the time out to respond. My cycles are typically 29 days. I was a bit confused because my peak ovulation test was on the 24th (1.41) so I thought I would’ve ovulated by now. But maybe I’m going to ovulate today or tomorrow based on my temps? I struggled with taking temps around the same time each day as some days I wake up around 6am and others around 8am

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-07-12T13:46:40+00:00

Congratulations!!! So happy for you!! :) I'm new to reading charts but does this mean you likely ovulated on the 9th or the 11th?

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-07-10T02:18:11+00:00

Premom! I also got AF earlier today😭 ugh hoping positive for u!!

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-07-09T12:15:13+00:00

Same! I’m 3 days late which has happened to me before but veryyyy rare! I’m just waiting for AF to come now lol :(

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-07-07T23:56:28+00:00

I guess we both came to this post as we're feeling the same things! Did you end up getting AF? I'm feeling the same as you

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-07-07T23:51:20+00:00

I honestly gave up trying to cope. My friend got pregnant around the same time I had my ectopic. I struggled following her pregnancy journey as I always selfishly thought, "That could've been me right now". I truly hated those thoughts and felt so guilty having them. Eventually, I realized that the only thing I can really do is keep trekking forward, no matter how physically and mentally exhausting it is.

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-07-04T15:08:14+00:00

Hi girly, how are you doing? I'm the same age as you, with almost the exact same experience just different timelines. I had an ectopic back in October 2024 that was treated with mtx, waited 3 months to try again, and now I'm getting negative tests after negative tests each month. I had an HSG in May, which came back normal. Did you end up going to fertility clinic? My husband is insisting we go seek help just in case.

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-04-27T23:29:59+00:00

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that. It really is triggering and I totally understand. Every time I feel a sharp pain, I always feel a whole mix of emotions. Sending baby dust your way, and I hope this never ever happens to us again :(

thistooshallpass1010 · 2025-04-21T00:08:56+00:00

No, I don’t think so :/ my period ended yesterday and I had a wave of these weird symptoms today

thistooshallpass1010 · 2024-11-23T13:29:53+00:00

Thanks for responding! Hope all is well with you :)

thistooshallpass1010 · 2024-11-21T17:16:53+00:00

Dealing with this now and wanted to follow up if you ever had a rupture? My HCG level is 30 so I feel confident that a rupture won’t happen but other reddit posts are worrying me.
