So I POAS this morning...

[mrssqueegy]

Still positive but fairly faint.  I'll pee again next Thursday.  I imagine it will be negative by then.  FX it is.

Pee sticks aren't as fun on this side.

((hugs)) That's why I haven't POAS. I don't want to associate them with this horrible-ness

((Hugs)) It feels strange to say, but I hope it's negative next time.

This is probably a really stupid question but you mentioned your dr said it was ok to try again right away. Is it possible to get pregnant before your levels get to zero? Or will you not ovulate before it gets to zero? Sorry I really don't know the answer to this and I was curious.

I would say there's no such thing as a stupid question but... 



My assumption is that you won't ovulate until you are down to 0. The hormones are there specifically to prevent ovulation.

That is a very good question.  I'm not sure if you can ovulate with HCG in your system.  I do have a good friend who had a positive test still 2 days before she ovulated after her m/c (based on temping) and got KU and has a 2.5 year old daughter now.

Thanks.  I know, hoping for a negative test feel so wrong.

Isn't there a Friends episode about that?  Joey is worried he is going to get Rachel pregnant even though she already is?  Maybe I'm making that up.

ETA: To clarify, I don't actually think that could happen.  Haha

No idea. It IS possible to get pregnant while pregnant (it's called superfetation) but it is SUPER rare. Like only 10 cases ever recorded rare. Link because I looked it up

Joey is also not all that intelligent... and a man.

You can still ovulate with low levels of HcG in your system, they don't have to be at zero. My Hcg was at 16 around the time I ovulated last month. High enough to still get faint positives. I've read that Hcg only suppresses ovulation when it's above 30 or so.

Wow, so interesting.  Thank you so much for replying.
