You wanna see pics?

Of my test results for the past two days? Click here for my chart...the pics are there...Then PLEASE Come back and tell me what you think? Even if it's not what I want to hear???

Oh and for those of you who have been following my ttc journey and know how many faint / false positives I've had....here is what I have to say:

in my research about why I would get so many false positives on hpts I learned that false positives can be caused by cancers of the female reproductive organs and breast cancer...Well I just had a mammogram and breast ultrasound(s) a year ago (less than a year ago!) -- and a pap done after Zachary was born that came back clear --But does a pap smear pick up uterine cancer? I heard that's the #1 cause of false +'s...the other question...if that was the case wouldn't I always get a faint +? There are times when I have no faint + at all? Would uterine cancer (or something like it that causes false positives) only show up during the 2ww? I've POAsed mid cycle before and gotten bfns too?

I don't think my dr will do testing...they will just think I'm crazy if I keep calling saying I got another false positive...*sigh*

Ok here's what I think that you might not want to hear hehe. As far as the tests, I can't say one way or the other. My first instinct is that the IC's are faulty. I just can't see the line where I would expect it to be. The others I'm not sure, I think I see something but I can't say with 100% certainty.

The thing that makes me go hmmmm is the fact that you get bfp's or maybes every cycle. No offense meant but what are the chances a woman of your age (or even mine for that matter lol) is actually conceiving every month? I'd be wondering if there isn't something going on that is making these tests think you are secreting hcg when you aren't? kwim?

Anyway, just my 2 cents. As always wishing you a big fat sticky positive!

Good point. I forgot about the fact that you only get bfp's at the end of the 2ww. That wouldn't make sense if something was throwing them off...... I hope I didn't upset you by mentioning it!

Tracy- I looked at your pics and I can't tell one way or another if I see something or not.....I know that has got to be hard, and I also know that when you want to be pregnant soooo bad, you'll see the line even if it is not there....with that being said, I hope that the next few days bring you a sticky bean....if not, I would definitly get checked a pap will only pick up 25% of the cancers and that is assuming that the OB hits the right spots with the scraper. You might want to ask for a Colposcopy....they are a bit painful but pick up on 90% of cancers....I know when they thought I had cancer a few years ago, that is when we found out the stats of a pap.....
HUGS sweetie....I'll keep stalking you!

Kat: No, you didn't upset me...It helps to 'talk it out'

Stephanie: Thanks for the info. It's about time for my annual anyways (February) so I'll be sure to ask about all this stuff when I go in.
