Live Pregnancy test at 13 dpo || I think I see a line ?!? || TTC Baby 3 Cycle 26

Live pregnancy test at 13 dpo and I could swear I see a line. I do know it is very difficult for a line to pop up at 13 dpo but it is still possible. I guess this is the stage when you start doubting it will happen.

Hi, My name is Athina. I am a 30-year-old mama to two beautiful little girls and wife to the best husband a girl could as for, Leonidas. We live in a small Suburb East of Melbourne, Australia. I am a Stay at home mom. I post videos about motherhood, cleaning and everything in between. I love being able to express myself without driving my husband mental :)
I would love it if you subscribed and joined me on this journey of being a mommy and so much more.

Much as I’d like to say I see a line, I’m sorry , but I can’t see one.

I usually don't say anything, but I really feel I should this time. You absolutely 💯 percent have a choice. I really think what's lacking here is structure & discipline (as in "sticking to your guns" no matter how much they scream & consequences for non-compliance) I think people forget that humans are animals, all this stuff we do because of modern society is not natural at all. Because of this, we have to train our children to behave in ways that are technically unnatural, which is an uphill battle the entire time! But just like a puppy, if you don't show them who the Alpha is, they WILL walk all over you. I watch your videos & try so hard to understand where you're coming from but I can't because I refused to let any of these things happen to me, so they didn't. I never jumped up every time my son cried, I knew when he was hungry & when he was just whining or pulling a power move (which is what most older babies/toddlers are doing, they are not dumb. Especially if they only do it at night and not during the day, they just want to cry to see if you will come) & because of this, my son has slept through the night since he was 4 or 5 months old. We also have had the same morning/night routine since he was born, no matter what. Summer vacations, travelling, weather, college courses (I was in school when I had him) etc. did not change our schedule. So my son knew no matter what was going on today, we were eating breakfast, getting dressed & leaving the house. A regular routine that involves leaving the house everyday will really help them adapt to a school or work schedule. YOU are not only in control, you possess ALL of the control! They do not control you, you are the adult & parent.

I dunno how you have any hope anymore. I don’t say this to be mean I am just surprised you expect the line to appear. I’ve been ttc again and when I didn’t get pregnant in 6 months I realised something was off and stopped ttc and went to a fertility specialist Now they are helping me ttc After so many months I’m of negatives I feel like you would know that it’s going to stay negative until you find out what the issue is and fix it

[@ruthconnolly607]

I was 18 months of negatives constantly, but then came it positive, it happens 🎉

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Hello Amy, I understand that you look at things very logically. That is fine for you. I have been to my doctor and have had testing done and discussed options and steps moving forward. There does not seem to be any issue that would make ivf more successful than normal Ttc. I am glad you decided 6 months was your limit however I would appreciate you respecting my choice as well. I am doing what I can do right now. That could mean we stop trying completely soon or maybe our circumstances change in a way that allows further options to become available. All the same hope is what I have right now so it’s what I’m holding onto.

[@amysingh9848]

@@AthinaKarpouzis I’m on the autism spectrum so yes I do see things very logical. I still watch your videos everyday and I hope for u that it turns positive I just envy that you can have so much faith in it. I dont think I could

My daughter is 6 weeks old and I have a 3 year old son with autism. Im struggling quite a bit. Their father left when I was about 8 weeks pregnant with our daughter, he couldn't handle the fast paced life of having kids around constantly. So I have no help from anyone. I don't have a supportive family either. While I was pregnant my family all said they will be there but they haven't been there at all. But its a lot hard because my son has autism, he is non verbal, he doesn't understand a lot. I don't get a chance to eat all day until they're both in bed and I have to wait to do homework until they're asleep and then by the time I'm done with everything its close to midnight, but then my daughter wakes up not long after for her first feed of the night. When those are a cards you're dealt what choice do you have but to tough it out on your own. I don't have a choice and neither does many other people.

[@alexisreyes4179]

Sending you good luck and baby dust your way . Hope you have a successful cycle

[@zoeelizabeth8609]

I agree with everything you said in this video, especially with the no choice thing. I haven't slept a full night since my 7 month old was born (and even before that as she was born at 43 weeks lol) and she had everything: reflux, colic, milk intolerance, allergies, teething on top of all the wonderful sleep regressions and more haha. ❤️ I'm gutted we didn't get to see any pics of the tests but I'm hoping and praying for you 🙏❤️ it's not over yet x

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

When they say motherhood is a full time job they didn’t mention the over time ☺️ hang in there mama.

Have you thought about going to your gp and getting blood panel done?

[@annaliselovett]

Love that! It’s very true, we literally don’t have a choice just have to get on with the day, for me I love a cheeky energy drink and some snacks time to time to help 😅

[@heleneolsenthunem307]

It’s funny how different we are and what our preferences are! I’m the complete opposite, I’ll start testing the day 🩸 is due! 14-15 dpo! but these videos are the best to watch, so I’m glad you prefer doing it like this 😉 crossing fingers for you❤️

[@ruthconnolly607]

I used to be like you, or crazy testing early, there was no in-between! But one cycle I tested later on, I got my positive, but it was a chemical, I wished I'd been testing earlier so the lines fading would have prepared me for what was happening. I admire your willpower!

[@chelseahebb1365]

Have you ever heard of LUF (luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome or trapped egg syndrome? It’s worth looking up!

[@thebreakdownartist9260]

Easy at home are my favourite by miles, I used premom this month (not trying just checking) and the dye run was not as clean and clear

[@sabrinar9101]

I had awful dye runs with pregmate OPK

[@stephaniedeanne92]

My 2 year old does that waking up, crying randomly, and then just falling back to sleep. She’s done it since she was born! What does a new born have bad dreams about???

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

I would say newborns and babies are just scared of the world. After a point it is definitely nightmares.

[@ruthconnolly607]

Nooooo i needed to see a clearblue!! I struggle with the strips 😂 good luck though x

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

They are rather annoying aren’t they? Will see how we go tomorrow.

[@ruthconnolly607]

@Athina Karpouzis is likely just me, I need a bigger space to look at, if that makes sense? Plus I'm a serial starer, I would stare at a frer or a clearblue for ages, tucking it to the side in the kitchen and pulling it out to look again every chance I would get!

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Oh my I’ve done that too 😅

What app do you use again for your cycle

[@nicolekerry4041]

I completely know what you mean about convincing yourself you're pregnant when you don't test. I do the same thing. Or I'll try reverse psychology on myself and I'll try to convince myself I'm not pregnant and then I'll still be sad when the test is negative! 😂 TTC is such a mind game and we all have to find the least stressful way to play. For some of us it means more frequent tests to help us know what's going on in our bodies!

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

It is the craziest mind game ever. We just gotta find a way to navigate it. 🙃

[@missangela97]

my son was the early riser around 6 am every day my daughter around 7;30-8 am i thought how can i do this so i can cope with the children went to bed every night the same time 8 pm so i can get to bed at 10 pm as the children grew i got them to help with toys to lil chores and my children are 15 months apart unfortunately they were not close in bond my son are opposite from each other. so it wasn't easy to find something both like to do.and lucky my children slept through the night from birth.but as they got older less sleep they had the less sleep i had. wait till there adults you be wandering a lot or its just me. my son lives on his own and my daughter lives with me. baby dust to you and others ill test depending on cycle and maybe 10 dpo or day of missed af it depends on my mood or if i have the tests.

[@dibirch4110]

Hope its there lovely xx

[@aro4781]

Maybe the egg didn't drop this cycle. Therefore, there was no ovulation. I remember you saying that you were going to get the tests measured for your hormones. Did you place the order for those tests?

[@uniquegirl2191]

😅 I tested at 3dpo and there was very faint line I kept testing until the line was clear. I don't have patience at all, and I've been like this all the months that I try to get pregnant I test early and also sometimes I test even if I have a period 🥲 unfortunately I was deceiving myself that it was implantation not period , 😅 this is sad

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

I have done that before as well. We’ve all been there. It can get intense.

[@myreality5959]

Hello lovely lets see how tomorrow goes! I was the stare while it develops test as early as possible stare at them all day stick the strips into a book kinda girl 😂

I do think she is waking up too frequently at this age. I would get her checked to see if she has any deficiencies, iron, vitamin d, etc.

[@MrJorgenzz]

*Why do you say it's to late for faint lines.. Not everyone get a positive test early. Some don't get a faint line before AFTER there missed periode. So yes NOT TO LATE FOR A FAINT LINE*

[@MrJorgenzz]

*Also, you not 100% sure about ovelating, it can have been late. Also it can imolant later sometimes aswell.❤*

Those are called night terrors very common with adhd children

[@gabrielamadacoman5589]

Not necessarily, it can be associated with anxiety, medication, sickness, but MOST often just because the kid is overtired. ☺️

My brother had night terrors when he was 3 🤔 you have a point.
