Live Pregnancy Test At 15 Dpo || 1 Day Late and Implantation Bleeding || TTC Baby #2 Cycle #8

[@mavis5020]

I’ve read that HCG levels usually aren’t high enough to show up on a test until at least 4 days after implantation. So there’s still hope!

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

😊🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@sandyarroyo5757]

Don’t give up.I kept getting negative results.I was 8 days late when I finally got a faint line and a pregnant on a digital.

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Thank you 😊

[@Alimnz]

Stress causes the period to do all kinds of things! :/ You can’t get pregnancy symptoms without implantation. So if your symptoms are pregnancy related it would be positive by now. Do you take into account the plastic bar in the back of the First Response test? Is that what you call this mysterious grey line?

[@hawkeye40778183]

I'm telling af is stuck in the outback with a flat tire and no cell service all because her husband didn't want to ask for directions after going through a crowded drive thru. Seriously hoping and praying it was implantation spotting

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Thank you so much James 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@alyshiapage9668]

You can test when implantation occurred you have to wait abit I know it’s annoying but I waited till I was 7 days late

[@VLoveTarot]

How's everything going>?

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

I have an update video up on the channel. All is well.

[@lynnhammer9411]

Oh I hope so much that it is implantation bleeding!!! But I gotta say that my cycles have also fooled me before and my periods were late sometimes for whatever reason or a couple of times I missed them completely and I’m usually super regular. Fingers crossed though🤞🏼 🥰

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Yeah. I think it’s probably my period playing tricks. The spotting is practically non existent but I imagine it will become stronger by tonight.

[@bestobeauty8461]

So I’m literally the same cycle and dpo as you, took antibiotics about 2 weeks ago and am now a date late with brown spotting that stopped yesterday with negative tests! I’ve never had something match up so identical in all my life!

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Oh wow. That is amazing. Well I guess we should both have an answer soon.

[@angelakocher8147]

I'm trying to catch up! Been crazy, busy. Looks like we're both on the 8th cycle of actively TTC. I think the last video I watched was cycle 5?? Maybe?? Anyway, I had an HSG done in May/June and then my progesterone level tested on cd21. Ummm it was like non-existent. 3.4 on cd21 means I didn't even ovulate. However, my cycle is only 23-25 days so I don't know how accurate that was. Anyway, on-call doc started me on Femara/Letrozole CD 4-8 and 100mg of progesterone. I got my LH surge on CD 15!! I usually get my surge at CD 12. So I know I'm really behind but did you have an HSG done and progesterone levels tested? I have endometriosis so I'm estrogen dominant. Did your docs ever confirm that you're ovulating?? I've always had LH surges so I assumed because of that and having a period, regularly, that I was ovulating!

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Actually no I haven’t. However considering my chemical pregnancy in cycle 6 I think it’s safe to say I do ovulate. I don’t know to be honest. Wow you did everything. At least you have a plan now and it also seems to be working.

[@angelakocher8147]

@@AthinaKarpouzis I had an early miscarriage too which is why I also thought I was ovulating, regularly. But I definitely didn't last cycle. Also, because my progesterone levels are so low, they said it could cause early miscarriage even when I did ovulate. And I agree with the other comments. The antibiotics and steroids can really throw your cycle off. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get a BFP soon! I really think it's just a little too early. I'll be following!!

[@casey599x]

I’ve been watching your videos for so long! Girl my heart breaks for you 💔 Come on baby #2 where are you! X

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Thank you Casey. It’s taking its time but it will get here. 🤞🏻

[@shareey8303]

I had the same spotting last cycle and I was SO SURE that this was it... the cramping was much milder and intermittent than usual, my boobs had been sore for ages... but then the next day AF came. Hope this isn’t the case for you. GL x.

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Thank you. Honestly If af is suppose to show up I want her to get a move on and come already.

[@shareey8303]

Oh and, I was on antibiotics for about 10 days early on in my cycle, and I ended up ovulating 10 days later than usual and got AF 10 days later than usual too. Did AF show?

[@jailynrayanne494]

Whatever way this is supposed to go I hope your get your answer soon🤞🏼✨ hope it’s not af showing up though😉

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Thank you so much 😊🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@jenniferwaddell552]

Hey Sweetie. Paused video at 2:00 min cause wanna say antibiotics can cause ur period to be late... It’s happen to me & one time I missed a period completely. Now back to video to c if ur PREGNANT. YAY! Lol 😂

[@Cherryheartkisses]

I would say wait because hcg needs to build in your system. I hope this works out for you. Fingers crossed.

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Thank you

[@RainbowBabyMumma]

Oh hun! How stressful for you! I hope something happens either way so you can move forward. Good idea to see the Dr. Big hugs 💖😘

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

🥰

[@taylorlowe5543]

I was really sick with a chest infection and had to be on steroids just before my af was due. I was hoping it would be delayed but it showed up right on time at 15dpo while I’m hospital. The research I did said being sick/stressed can delay ovulation which will then delay af. Saying that it doesn’t really delay luteal phase but that’s what I read maybe ovulation was wrong or didn’t realise an egg. I hope you get some good news I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

That is the thing. So many things can interfere at different levels.

[@jessicab6941]

I got Implantation bleeding at 10dpo and then I didn't get my positive until 14dpo so if it was implantation bleeding u won't get a positive for a few days.

[@morganhanzimanolis]

I hope this is your month! HCG could be building up as we speak! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Thank you Morgan. Either way I just want a nice clear answer.

[@bratspack8571]

If you ever get positive on strips or the other type and negative on digital break it open and take a look at the strip inside the digital might not pick up but the strip inside will show

[@amber2665]

Brats Pack the digital tests will always have two lines. So that does not mean positive.

[@extraordinarymama5272]

Thinking about you. Hope you can figure out if your pregnant or not. Maybe just need a couple of days.

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Yes I am hoping if I just relax a bit over the next couple of days it will be clear.

[@ingiemummalove130]

I’m really sending all the positive vibes to you and of course baby dust 🤞💕

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Thank you 😊

[@1love1beauty]

That darn gray line! Frer need to get it together! Lol praying for you to have a BFP soon! ❤️

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

They definitely do. It’s just bad.

[@1love1beauty]

Like com’mon I want a positive or negative! No I don’t knows or eeeeeehh Lol

[@sashataylor4356]

Really hoping you get your BFP!!!👶 I've been following your channel for months me and the hubbys been trying for a very long time. I'm kind of in the same boat you are in I was 14 dpo on the 9th and had brown spotting and then it went away. My period was due yesterday and it's still a no show😊 but I'm very scared to test and it be negative, them negatives are the worst.

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

They definitely are. It’s hard. I hope you get your positive 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@sashataylor4356]

Just want to give you an update hun! Because we kind of are in the same place right now lol I finally got the courage to test at 1 o'clock in the morning and I got a blazing positive❤ after 10 months of trying and then a miscarriage and then now 6 months of trying we may finally get our rainbow baby😊 I've been rooting for you for so long and I hope we both get the same blazing positive cause we deserve it❤ baby dust to you hun😊😊😊

[@BabblePuff]

That gray line, man... hoping if you’re not, that AF stops messing around, and arrives. 💕

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Precisely. Just show up already.

[@case6549]

So hoping you get your positive soon. We are all in this with you! Stay strong and stay focused, it will happen❤

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Thank you so much 😊

[@nonirosie]

I have PCOS and when i was TTC I'd ovulate once and then a week or two later I'd ovulate again. Then I'd end up with 6wks+ between periods as my hormones were all over the place.

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

🤔 I don’t know about ovulating again. I feel like everything did what it was supposed to. But you never really know do you?

[@breannemuhammad8637]

You actually don't ovulate twice in 1 cycle. Nobody's body does that. Your body will gear up to ovulate but then it won't for what ever reason. Then it will gear up again to ovulate and then you do. That's why women with pcos ovulation tests are not very reliable for.

[@itsfaj]

Fingers crossed! If you implanted yesterday, it will hopefully show in the weekend 🙏

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Implantation would have been two days ago now. I don’t know. If I’m not I just want my period to start.

[@itsfaj]

@@AthinaKarpouzis it's definitely annoying not to know right away. I was going crazy when my 2nd cycle this year lasted 61 days. I feel your frustration!

[@melissalancaster7653]

Has af shown yet?

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Yes she did. In full force. On to cycle 9.

[@bridgetturner7791]

Have u all ever had heavy Implantation bleeding for a day with clots and then the second was lighter and the only spots for a few hours and gone...... if not what does this sound like to u

[@bridgetturner7791]

I am new to this and am not sure what is what

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

That sounds like a period to me. I have had this in the past. Implantation bleeding doesn’t have clots.

[@meg24751]

Implantation bleeding will never be heavy or have clots, it is normally spotting of pink or brown blood, and not enough to fill a pad.

[@bridgetturner7791]

OK I did not have no clue I am alil lost where I am still so new I am usually light and 6 days so I didn't know thanks so much sorry if I bothered u and I hoping for u with my figures crossed

[@bridgetturner7791]

I never had to ttc before when I got off my birth control I got pregnant the next cycle

[@LaurenWoz421]

This happened to me the month that I had to take a round of steroids :( I spotted brown on the day of my period and then it stopped so I thought for sure it was implantation, but I got my period at day 33 or 35. I was always a 28 day cycle before that. I hope this isn’t the case for YOU, I’ve been Cheering you on for months now, always enjoy the vids and pray for you but I thought I’d rather know if someone else had this happen. I truly hope that isn’t the case for you though and that your positive will come 🤞 baby dust! ✨✨♥️

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Thank you. No that’s great to know. I would rather know all the possibilities and know what to expect either way.

[@LaurenWoz421]

Athina Karpouzis I figured you’d want to know and of course I’m just one person so I can’t say what happened to me will happen to someone else. But Steroids affect our hormones and kinda mess stuff up. Oddly enough, I also had the sore boobs (likely from the steroids or stopping them?), headaches and not sure about nausea- maybe just 1-2 days after stopping them but I was certainly tired. They give me so much energy that when I stop them I crash for a few days. I’ve been off and on them a couple times this past year so I was eventually able to realize what was happening but at first I truly believed I HAD to be pregnant. I had all the symptoms (I thought). And then when I was pregnant, my boobs didn’t hurt until a week or so after I found out! Lol so I wasn’t expecting it that time around. Again, I hope this isn’t the case for you but I’m living proof of the poopy side effects from them that can trick us. 😔 ♥️

[@chelxea7247]

I clicked so fast!!!

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

🥰

[@cassidycoltenback2031]

I think if it’s implantation bleeding it would take like 2-3 days for a positive to register? Or maybe just beginning of your period playing tricks on you 😔 hoping you get an answer soon! 🤞🏻❤️

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

That’s the thing. The two scenarios are so close to each other. You are right it would need an extra day at least at this point. If it’s my period o just want it to start already.

[@cassidycoltenback2031]

Yes! As crappy as it is, I have faith in you. You’ve been so positive about everything this month. Praying for you hunny ❤️❤️

Cause that’s when I only just had a slight pink positive

[@alyshiapage9668]

And if you keep testing again and again it’s a waste of tests when after implantation you have to wait look it up it tells you how long after implantation you can test

[@AthinaKarpouzis]

Alyshia page oh yes I know that. I just took the test in case it showed anything. I am waiting until Monday and if af hasn’t showed I will be getting bloodwork done.
