2ww almost over....but still have ?? - Infertility Message Board

My two week wait will be over Friday when I go in for my blood test. Can anyone tell me if they have gone this long without any spotting or AF and still got a bad ending? I have had some mild cramping off and on for the whole 2ww but nothing else. There have been some other things like nausea and tender bb.

Now here is the kicker, I spoke with my nurse and she advised me not to take a home pregnancy test. The anxiety has been killing me so I did one this morning. It came back I think positive but I am not sure. The line was so faint it could just be my wishful thinking. Why do they tell you not to do the home pregnancy test?? Is it still too early to show up on them?? Any help would be great. Thanks!

If you had an hCG shot to induce ovulation, the shot could cause a false positive for about 10 days or so post IUI. That's one reason they suggest waiting.

Thanks RattyG. I had an IVF retrieval on March 24th. So my hcg shot was on March 22nd. I would think that would be out of my system by now wouldn't it??

Well, the other thing to keep in mind is the idea that any positive is a positive--even a faint one. When I tested my first test looked like a negative to me, and then as I stood over it contemplating the next round of injections, it just turned into a faint positive. Sure enough--the next day--a big old positive.

Are you on progesterone to promote implantation? That can delay your period as well.

It is so hard to wait!!! Good luck and I hope you have a positive in your near future!!!!

Thanks for your input. Sometimes I doubt myself because I just want it to be a positive so badly. LOL! Yes, I am still on those awful IM progesterone shots. Any idea on how long they could delay your period?? I was due last Saturday. Is that normal?
