Miracle attempt finished....

Hi Atomic,

My betas for all my pregnancies are pretty consistent. I can pretty much tell how its going to go based on what level I start out at & doublng time.

You are right about the betas not being very predictive of live birth though. My progesterone levels do a far better job of predicting that which is why I'm having them tested alongside.

When do you get those tests done MrsG? Hope everything goes well for you and that you get your healthy baby girl this time. Keep us posted! Xx

Yes, until the time it doesn't go that way. Doubling time IS predictive. Darkness of a pee stick tells you NOTHING.

Betas are not always consistent between pregnancies. Neither are prog levels. I"m not trying to quibble, I just don't want you doing this to yourself because you may end up worrying yourself sick over something that is working out just fine. That's all.

Hang in there MrsG and I hope everything is going along well for you. Have you had any other blood test results yet? Hoping this is your sticky one Hun. Xx

Hi 1moregirl,

Yeah I had beta #4 on Thursday and I have #5 coming up next week.

MW agreed to let me get bloodwork done 1x per week until 1st u/s (another whole month).

I don't have any results from them other than "looks good". She was off on call and her assistant couldn't give me any results over the phone.

Busy being distracted & miserable with my cold.... why do I always catch these things when pg? Couldn't get pg all spring/summer when the sunshine was out and I was healthy as a horse....noooooooo.....first sniffle my little guy tracks home...BAM! i catch it....and I never catch any of his stuff usually....

Congrats MrsGoodies!!!! So incredibly happy for you!

How are you doing, Essence? I know you were hoping for a BFP very soon; I hope it happens. I really felt for you when I read your post about it.

I'm 41 now and I've never felt confident enough to pull the trigger on TTC again so I think I've just got to move into the acceptance stage of my journey. Which I will be fine, even if it isn't the kind of fine I wanted.

Hi Essence. Man....just realised a piece of what you've been going through. I was soooo hoping you'd have a BFP by now after yuor surgery. But then I read just now that you're DH has had a vasectomy. I'll be praying so hard for you that one of his little swimmers makes it to one of yuor eggs.

Hang in there MrsG! Hope this is yuor sticky one. I'm just waiting for AFB to show up. I don't know why I always feel soooo gutted when it's about to arrive, and upset with myself for not having the courage to give TTC a good try. I soooo wish I had some of your courage. The more that time passes by now the more I feel it's just not going to happen for me, but maybe it's because of mental blocks that it's not happening. I don't know. Hope you get rid of yuor cold quickly. Xx

7w2d I am finally over my cold.

Went to the loo and noticed my panties are all wet. Not sure what that means...
