Pregnant or not?

Hi ladies,
My husband and I have been trying for our first baby for quite a while, we're now on cycle 15. We're going through the hospital together with the gynecologist. Some things have been found out about my husband, which makes it almost impossible for us to get pregnant naturally, and we're going to start with IUI insemination soon. Now, I have to go to the hospital on Friday (so tomorrow) for one of my last tests, and I'll get contrast fluid injected into my uterus and ovaries, and X-rays will be taken to make sure everything is open so that the inseminations can succeed.
Now here's the thing.. I've been bleeding for about 17 days now. Not heavily, but bright red (I initially assumed this was my period), but why it keeps bleeding for so long is still unclear. I felt quite dizzy yesterday and today, and I did a pregnancy test anyway, partly because I wanted to be sure I wasn't pregnant since that fluid is very harmful to a fetus, which is why it's only done in the period after your period and before ovulation. Butrrr... now the test was, in my opinion, very faint positive (see photo). I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me, because after trying for so long, it could also be that I'm imagining some lines a bit

I don't know what to make of this yet. What do you think?
Greetings Kimberley

    Honestly, I also see a faint line? Do you have another test at home? You could test again tomorrow morning with first morning urine.

    SS21 Yeah, I still have a few left and that was indeed my plan, because this one was done somewhere in the afternoon. But I was unsure if this one was positive or not. I'll only know for sure tomorrow, hopefully. That uncertainty can be annoying sometimes, haha.. Thanks for your reply

    I see something too! I'll test it tomorrow morning, good luck!

    I see a second line too

    I see a faint line too!

  6. Wensje2 #7

    And I’m also seeing the second line very faintly. That’s so incredibly stressful for you guys. Hopefully, tomorrow with first morning urine it’ll be a clearer line!

    Yes, definitely!
    I'll test again tomorrow morning, and then we'll see. If it's not positive, I can still go ahead with the test tomorrow with a clear conscience—it's also good for me. We'll wait a bit longer

    Thumbs up for you guys! Let us know tomorrow if it worked out

    Well ladies,
    As planned, I tested again this morning. This one was just as faint as yesterday's. Still, I did another Clearblue test with the same urine because I wasn't sure yet.
    Here's the result

    I think I can't deny it anymore, right?
    I'm still very unsure because I did have some bleeding for a few days, and after a year and a half, it feels a bit strange and unreal. I just can't believe it
    Greetings, Kimberley

    Congratulations

  12. Wensje2 #13

    Wow, that's amazing for you two. Congratulations!
    Maybe because of the bleeding and since you're already known in the hospital, you could come in sooner for an ultrasound?

  13. SS21 #14

    Congratulations!

  14. Raisa #15

    WoW!! Congratulations!

  15. Tori #16

    Yay, now it's much clearer Congratulations!

    Thank you all!
    I can indeed come by on Monday for an internal ultrasound.
    I’m not quite ready to be happy yet, so we’ll wait until Monday to see how things go.
    Hope everything is okay!

    You’ll hear from me again

  17. Wensje2 #18

    That's so nice to be able to come in for an ultrasound so soon. It probably won't show much to a layperson, but they can definitely tell you if everything's okay, etc. Exciting!

  18. Day #19

    Oh my goodness, Kimbling! How special! Congratulations, exciting Monday!

    Good morning ladies,
    We went to the hospital this morning for an ultrasound and they did a test. Unfortunately, my suspicions were correct because the test came back negative and there was nothing to see. After such a long time, we finally thought we were pregnant, but sadly it ended in a miscarriage
    It's sad... feeling a bit down about it, but somehow it also feels positive because we now have confirmation that I can get pregnant, which is reassuring.
    Hopefully, we'll have more luck next time

    Kind regards, Kimberley
