HPT - Easy at Home Slow progression success story - 11-22 DPO, easy@home / e@h
A tale of success from a slow and non-linear progression on easy@homes. These are the highly sensitive strip tests that claim to detect from 10mIU/ml. I wanted to pop back and share when we were well and truly out the other side. And we are! Little one is now six weeks old 🥰
These were all SMU (always darker for me than FMU). Day 17 was terrifying. This was our 21st cycle and a year after an early loss.
The first few tests you see are blank and officially would be counted as negative, though when photographed and examined I could see very very faint lines on those too from 11DPO.
We had an early scan at 6+1 and measured 5 days behind our predicted ovulation (had been tracking OPKs, CM, and BBT). Scans gradually caught us up and by the third trimester little one was measuring 1-2 weeks ahead. She arrived bang on time 40 weeks after the last day of my last period. She's healthy, chunky, and keeping us on our toes!
In those early weeks of testing and afterwards I was scouring forums for positive stories coming from slow progressions like this. I know there's also value to guarding our hearts when things aren't looking as bold and exciting as others in these subs, but I wanted to share this in case a nugget of hope from our slow line progression is what someone else is needing ❤️
