I agree! I want the best shot possible. Poor DH! I am on pelvic rest until they see the pockets of blood are gone so that means he has 3 more weeks of waiting to DTD and we have already been waiting almost 2 weeks. Oh well! I would rather get a good nub shot than DTD! LOLQuote:

That's amazing. My beta at 16dpo was only 272. Congrats.
I was going to ask. I was expecting maybe 300 if it was high. When the nurse told me, I said, "Wow, that's high." She replied, "crazy high." She asked if I was sure about my dates and I said yes. That's why they want an u/s on Wednesday.
DH is totally freaking out. Like, lying on the floor trying to catch his breath. I told him there's nothing to panic about until we see an u/s.
Sounds good Shellbelle! Have you had twins already in your family or maybe your dates are wrong? Was your af normal last time? xx
I wouldn't be surprised. That is pretty high. We'll be anxiously awaiting your update on Wednesday.
Nc your poor dh another 3 weeks I don't think mine could cope lol!!!
Shell those numbers are amazing does that mean possible twinys???
Wow! That is really high!!! The median for a twin pregnancy (according to beta base) is 402 at 16DPO.
twins would be soo cute shell but bloody typical - you wait for months for a baby and two turn up in one go LOL
hope your doing ok and the spotting has stopped
Shell maybe you have 3 or 4 in there!!! We'll change your last name to Duggar!!!!
:rofl: - 3men
shell didn't you have positive tests the other 2ww that you decided in the end must have been chemicals since af arrived, maybe af was a faker and your 2 or 3 months now
The spotting has stopped, and I'm totally sure about my dates. I even took a test near when I o'd because I was so frustrated with my temps, and it was negative.
No twins in my family, but I did use soy isoflavones last month. I really can't wait to see that u/s lol. I just hope that dh doesnt have a heart attack before then.
I did have those weird faint positives, and that's why I took an hpt at about cd 14 last month. If I was pg then I would have expected a dark result, but it was stark white. I guess we'll see.
Wow! I hope you are either further along or with twins Shell!!
Oooh, wow - that's a high number! I also took soy isoflavones! But they don't check betas here unless there is some cause for concern... so I'll never know mine.
But, that's very interesting! So that super faint positive was 8dpo which is quite early, isn't it, for me... but I wondered today if that was maybe because of the soy making a good environment to implant in? Who knows?
When did you get your BFP??
I didn't even test again till 10dpo. But that was a clear positive. Not super dark though.
Welcome Suregena :)
Wow Shellbelle do you really think it could be twins, or even triplets?
Hey NCBeachy... You updated stats and put my EDD as May 24th... it's 29th, heh. :)
OMG Shell - how exciting!!! (nervewracking, but exciting!)
My DH would be so excited with twins - but probably not so much if they both ended up being boys LOL
Keep us posted!!!
Would be cool if you found out you were further along then you think Shell, how have you been feeling the last month or so? Can't wait to see what the u/s shows! :) x
Anyone done the bicarbonate of soda/ baking soda gender test for fun? I had a go this morning, it is supposed to fizz if it is a boy and do nothing if it is a girl. When I first put the pee into the cup with the bicarb of soda it didn't do anything, then I swirled it around and it fizzed lol! So I'm not sure! Think it probably indicates boy, but not sure if it would have fizzed if I hadn't have swirled it around!
Anyone else fancy a go? Be fun to see how many are accurate! :D

I did it twice around ten weeks then 13ish weeks. . Mine fizzed like a soda...so, wrong result!Quote:

Ladies I'm so sick I don't know how I'm going to make it through the day. I'm taking Zofran and it seemed like it was working, but yesterday and today have been absolutely horrible. Sorry for the whine...
That is EXACTLY what I said to DH. You know, before he started hyperventilating and decided to lie down on the floor. :rofl:Quote:

It could just be one and I could just have really high numbers. I started freaking out over molar pregnancies, but then when I researched that, they were talking about high HCG as in 63,000, not 1,100. But I did find several people who had levels like mine at 16dpo and there was only one. At the very least, it should mean that this is a strong pregnancy. I hope. Fingers crossed. I'm really nervous about tomorrow and I don't know why.
Mummypink, I will have to try the soda "test"! I had never heard of that one before!
I know that 3m is super sick, but how is everyone else feeling today?
That is awful! I am so sorry you are feeling so bad. My nausea let up at 8 weeks and seems to be much better. I hope it gets better for you too. I know it is so miserable!!Quote:

The only thing that worked for me was taking the zofran first thing before getting out of bed, then every night taking a unisom tablet (not the gelcaps) and a vitamin b6 pill right before bed. Normally I hate taking medication, especially during pregnancy, but I seriously couldn't function to take care of my other 2 without it. The dr said it was fine too. I forgot to take the unisom/b6 a few nights ago and felt terrible the next day still. Maybe worth a shot? Hope you feel better soon! And hope you other ladies are doing well!
Thanks ladies. I'm going to call my doc again to see what else I can do. With my last ds I was sick forever so I don't know what's going to happen with this one.
Really hope it eases up for you soon 3men, morning sickness sucks. Mine eased up yesterday to just a general nauseous and is back today big style. It seems to be worse for me if I haven't had a good nights sleep - and I mean in bed by 9:30pm at the latest! Not great as that is usually when I get most of my work done but I've realised that it is better to go to bed and then be able to do some work the next day then feel so bad I get absolutely nothing done!
I'm hoping that once I hit 12 weeks it eases up a lot, I'm not taking anything for it because I'm a bit paranoid about side effects.
Butterfly - interesting to hear the soda test didn't work for you. Do you know if you are supposed to just add the pee to the soda or if you should swirl it around?
Shell - can't wait to hear the results of your scan! :D xx
I added pee to the banking soda.
I did the baking soda and no fizz for me!! But I think it can depend on what you've eaten/drunk! Not sure it's very accurate?!? Sorry 3m that your feeling so awful I hope you find something to help xx
Good luck with your scan tomorrow shell :)
I've got my 12 week scan on Friday I'm so worried about nubs!!! but also excited that we can finally tell everyone.
So exciting Tiffani! I hope you get a good nub pic! You have to come back and post right away! I have my 12 week u/s scheduled on Oct. 11. It seems so far away! I hated to push it back a week but I will be 12W6D and HOPEFULLY can get a good nub shot.Quote:
