I'm just waiting 2 hrs now after my drink.. Should get hcg results this afternoon.
Bec, no I did not test again. Figured I should just save the FRERs for the next cycle. AF is due tomorrow so I wish she would hurry up and just get here.. lol. Then I can start planning the next cycle. This is only our first month TTC so well I should give it some time. DH keeps telling me I should not be so obsessed with this swaying stuff. He is happy with another girl so he refuses to do anything with swaying including giving me his sample to check its ph! :tissue:Quote:

I know I got this with the others but ugh it makes you panic. Hopefully is "implantation residue". Only an hr till my beta results come in hopefully. On a good note, my boobs are soooo sore!!!! I only got this with my second pregnancy (a twin pregnancy).
soni - if you really want to check your DH's PH i'm sure we could come up with a way so he won't even know. There must be times where you have access to the sample, i mean not in a cup?
DTD with a condom and then use the sample in there. Do it fast, because I think the longer it sits out, the higher the pH goes so it could be misleading. I gave my DH a BJ and had him finish in a cup, which he didn't love doing, but he did it.Quote:

5, waiting, waiting! Hopefully the browny CM is nothing to worry about!
Got my beta results.
So this is how it is going so far:
17 Jan: 3
19 Jan 26
23 Jan 195
Dr said it isn't rising very fast? I worked it out and looks like it is at least doubling every 48hrs? Said it was compatible with a 4week pregnancy. I am 4w5d today. He is now going on about a bloated ovum WTH?!! Ughhhh :(
It is doubling every 48 hours, which is good!
Could you have possibly O'd later? Maybe you're not as far along as you think?
I can def tell you when I implanted!!
You had bad cramps didn't you?
So are you 19dpo now?
Yep I have the strongest lower back ache for 2 days along with strong cramping it was very perculiar! This happened on Jan 15 & 16 approx 9 & 10 DPO.
I ovulated around CD17.
Tested with a FRER on 11DPO and BFN. Got a V V V V faint BFP 12 DPO. That morning had a beta and was just a 3. My tests are now dark as can be, I have VERY sore boobs now too.
So today I am only 17DPO at the very most.
So if you're 17dpo today then you're 4w3d pregnant. The doctor said your levels are at about a 4 week pregnancy. Give or take a few days and you're spot on then aren't you?
LMP was 21 December 11
I would go by O date rather than LNMP to calculate how far along you are.
So what's the plan now then? Another beta? How did you go with the GCT?
Yes he wants to see me Friday for another beta. I will get the glucose results Friday too unless he calls me earlier x
So if we say I O'd CD 17 that makes me how far along?Quote:

So found this not sure how accurate it is but I like it lol. If I am only 17dpo today at the very most, then my levels are fine and actually above the average!
Beta HCG Chart : Pregnancy after Infertility
If you O'd on CD17 that makes you 17dpo today. Those betas seem fine!!
TTC5 i can't understand why your doctor is being such a douche bag.
TTC5- I can't understand your DR. either, I think your HCG looks good to me and right now you're about 4wks.
Mine at 19DPO was 303.
Ugh me either :(
I might start from scratch and see another dr..
This made me feel so much better!!Quote:

Yeah 5, I'd probably check out a different dr, your's seems so confident this pregnancy is doomed with no real reason he's shared. My feelings are tell the potential bad news or leave me in the dark, but this lets keep testing without giving you the why is just cruel.
at 17dpo i was at 200 and as of saturday he was fine!
Hey everyone-
Thanks for the birthday love! And HBD to you also, Foxy!
Sorry to not update this weekend. I got really bummed out on Saturday after a bfn. I had to work and there was practically a monsoon outside, so I was just plain pissed all day. Not the best birthday, to say the least. I still haven't had AF (am 14dpo) but I took some progesterone supps this month so I am sure it will be here later today or tomorrow. I feel a bit crampy again. Ah well. Knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up!
BUT YAY, HOBBER!!!! I am so excited you got yours this month!!!! Congrats, honey!
And yes, I think we may need to look into IUI. I know they can take like 10 samples and wash and use them all. My DH got really sad about his sperm thing on Saturday.....I told him we need to decide what to do soon, because I feel like we had a good shot this month and obviously, it didn't work. I go back and forth with just trying forever and then taking action. We did talk about him going to a repro urologist once we get our tax return and saving that money for whatever we need to do to fix his balls or do IUI or whatever. I am just scared my eggs will die off before anything happens.
Kris, good luck with your test! How much does IVF cost over there?
TTC5, no more googling! I think you are fine, and no more stressing about it! That brownish d/c was likely just residue like you said. Your bean is probably burrowing down nice and deep in there. I can't believe your doc would start talking blighted ovum to you either, that is ridiculous. Why would you get a newly pg woman all worried like that? There is no way to tell you will have a BO, it just happens. Jeez. Well, FX for another nice beta rise! And sorry boobs is a really good sign things are going nicely.
Bec, here's to another round of Clomid- hope it works for you! I guess docs are all different on how long they'll let you take it. I may need to get on it someday again myself.
Soni, sorry about the bfns. I had the telltale cramps right at the perfect implantation days also....and I normally don't get them either. Guess that's why I got so excited about a miracle month. Better luck for us next month!
LBAM, sorry about Af for you also. At least you are on to your next cycle. FX it is a bit more predictable for ya.
SO, interestingly, I decided to totally waste $15 and do one of those psychic things. Ruby finally got back to me and said I'd have 2 more, 1st one a boy with a bfp Jan 2012 (apparently not) or EDD of Jan 2013. Then a girl with a bfp in April 2014 or EDD of April 2015. She said she confirmed it with the babies three times for accuracy. Well, that is very interesting, no?
Sorry for the BFN, Lola :( xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lola, I am so sorry for your BFN :( What kind of tests are you using? Didn't you say that you used those IC ones--the Wondfo ones that come with the OPKs? I used a FRER and got a faint line on Saturday, but I used one of those Wondfo ones too, and it was negative. I did one this morning just to see if it worked yet, and it was such a light line I had to hold it right under a light to even see it. I think those Wondfo tests aren't very sensitive. Since AF isn't here yet, maybe you shouldn't give up yet! Maybe Ruby was right!!
Things are going great for us--with our sorry boobs and the craps!:rofl:Quote:

I got a reading from Ruby too...she said boy conceived Jan 2012 or born Jan 2013.
I am intrigued now......ok, if no AF by the time I leave work today, am going to get some and will test in the morning. I would be SHOCKED if I was and Ruby was indeed right. I really think AF is coming though. I am a bit crampy....just that burning feeling, not really cramps.Quote:
