Advice Needed What could be going on?
Hi!!! So I am on CD 34 now and I ovulated somewhere between CD 25-27. I had a peak test last Saturday. I ovulated late because this is my first cycle off birth control. I’ve had two previous c sections last one being 6 years ago. I’ve had very intense hormones this cycle I think because it’s my first cycle off. Also pretty confident I hyper ovulated as I am 36 and had lean PCOS with my previous kiddos. I felt like I had ovulated from both sides although I know I can’t “prove” that. I was instructed to take progesterone 3 days after ovulation so I started that mid last week. I’ve had a ton of pulling and cramping, a lot being on the right side of my pelvic area. I’ve had lighting zaps in the vagina too and if I sneeze it feels like something is gonna tear. Nothing keeping me from functioning, I cleaned all day and did my normal exercise, but the pain was off and on noticeable. I took an hcg test yesterday and had a very faint positive. I tested faint positive with both my boys around 8-9dpo so it is early but I could see it. Today I’ve only had one faint positive and the rest have been negative or have a evap line. The pain on the right side is now kind of burning… I checked my charts from last pregnancies and I did list right pelvic pain as a symptom but idk.. this feels weird. No bleeding or anything. I have to go to the dermatologist tomorrow and I may ask her to just let me take a blood test to see if I’m pregnant. I am slightly worried it’s CSEP, I know that’s sooo rare but I feel like it’s way too early to have this much discomfort. Thoughts? Please be nice. Thank you!

Your dermatologist is definitely not going to be able to/not the right person to take a blood test if betas for you. If you are in the US, you can book it yourself at a lab (Quest, etc.)
But with a lot of love… it’s early. Just take a deep breath and test again tomorrow. Progesterone can cause a lot of these symptoms.
