The battle over PCOS, being "clomiphene resistant", FSH injections, metformin, IUI, weight issues and my husband's "very poor" sperm and medical issues to successfully conceive our baby!

Self-torture (C5;CD32; 11DPO)

Self-torture (Self`-tor"ture)
n.The act of inflicting pain on one's self; pain inflicted on one's self.
Ex. Taking a HPT and seeing a faint line and then realising it could be a false positive as you only had a HcG injection 5 days ago...

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid... I really should have thought about it more, I mean, it's not that hard. HPTs measure the amount of HcG in your system. Your HcG levels should double every three days if you're pregnant. I took an injection of HcG 5 days ago... of COURSE it would show a positive even if I weren't pregnant, wouldn't it?

I think the only way I'll be able to tell now is to have a BT (blood test) on Wednesday (14DPO) and then another one on Friday or Monday of the week after. That means it will probably be at least until Tuesday week until I have a firm result (then again, by then I could probably test at home with my own HPTs and know... if I haven't got AF by then, I'd be worried...)

Lesson learned - don't be so stupid next time...
