You probably just ovulated later than you think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/squinter-at-5-weeks#post-2486438 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 14:22:44 +0000 sslm 2486438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: I think it seems likely that you ovulated late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/squinter-at-5-weeks#post-2486400 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:59:00 +0000 mfa_lady 2486400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: I agree with other posters--you likely ovulated late! My cycle is always a little longish and so I'm never "as pregnant" as my LMP would suggest. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/squinter-at-5-weeks#post-2486399 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:58:26 +0000 ElbieKay 2486399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Oh, I see, I didn't think of that. It makes me feel better to consider that possibility, thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/squinter-at-5-weeks#post-2486395 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:57:03 +0000 ElbieKay 2486395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Well, they were pretty reliable until my pregnancy -- 30 days +/- 2 days. Not sure if that is considered predictable or variable.</p> <p>Then several months postpartum -- maybe 6? -- I got an IUD. I barely ever got a period on the IUD.</p> <p>I got the IUD removed in late Nov, Then I had a 38-day cycle followed by a 28-day cycle, and today is day 39.</p> <p>I will be 39 in two months. It didn't take me that long to get pregnant the last time, but I did have one mc so the whole process took 8 months to get a sticky baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/squinter-at-5-weeks#post-2486370 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:44:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2486370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since you haven't been able to detect O for a few months, there is a good chance you just O'd late and the LMP estimation is off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/squinter-at-5-weeks#post-2486335 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 13:11:34 +0000 sslm 2486335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: are your cycles usually a predictable length? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/squinter-at-5-weeks#post-2486318 Mon, 07 Mar 2016 12:57:56 +0000 ElbieKay 2486318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been NTNP for #2. (For various reasons, I kinda wanted to wait a few more months to really start TTC, but I was ok with it happening sooner.)</p> <p>I have a toddler and a full time job, so despite my half-hearted attempts to track my cycle, I have not managed to score a positive ovulation test in the past three months. I also am not exactly DTD 3x per day. So, I didn't really expect to get pregnant.</p> <p>Then last night I realized I expected my period a week ago. I POAS and got a squinter. There was another faint squinter this morning.</p> <p>If I track via my LMP, I am 5w3d pregnant. But. My boobs have not changed at all. And my test is definitely still a squinter, not a dark line. What are the odds that this is a sticky pregnancy??</p> <p>P.S. If I know you IRL, i.e., if your moniker is @Anagram, please keep this on the DL! </p>
