Robin those numbers are nice! Did they confirm only one egg? I'd be thinking twins if your numbers keep doubling like that!

Lola, I'm so sorry. Chemicals are hard.
Robin, tripling in three days! Wow.
Robin- that's exciting! Could be more than one. Mine during this pregnancy quintupled every 3 days that has ended possibly with a vanishing twin. You should be getting an early scan around 6 weeks!

So sorry Lola.
Congrats to robin! Hope I get to be in the due date group with some of you lovely ladies
WOW!!! I do away from the boards for a weekend and all of THIS happens!!! 15 pages worth!
So I will try to get to everyone, Robin and Erin, huge Congrats!
Lola - I am so very sorry to hear about the chemical. :(
Pbn3 - HUGS. You just NEED for this to work so you can be done.
moma - I am praying that htose lines just don't fade out and just keep getting darker :)
Ash and others (sorry, I am bad at screen names) - Welcome and I pray your stay is short.
AFM - I am STILL in limbo. Ugh. I thought for sure when I got my Friday betas back yesterday, that it would all be over. Then I get the numbers from yesterday - today and they went up significantly. I am still real weary of the low numbers, but maybe a small little bit of hope. Here are the stats:
14dpo - 107
16dpo - 198 (54 hr doubling)
18dpo - 287 (89 hr doubling) not looking good
21dpo - 815 (47 hour doubling) WTF?
So here I am still pregnant and have to wait until Monday morning for my next u/s. This is pure torture.
Shannshaff its so good to hear from you!! I did a quick search in your posts last night to see if you updated. Oh boy what a nightmare you've had!! Could a vanishing twin be the cause of your bleeding and numbers not to double initially? Gosh I hope it all looks good on Monday's ultrasound, its such an awful wait! Hang in there, you're almost there xxoo

Thank you Pbn3! You are always great at supporting all of us. I will say, it has definitely solidified that we do want #5!
Shannshaff, I'm so sorry you're stuck in limbo. How horrible not to have answers yet. But that last doubling looks so promising, I'm really hoping you have a viable pregnancy.
Shann, I'm crossing everything that this is a viable pregnancy!!! Your numbers today look great! I'm sorry you're in limbo :hugs:

Shann,
With wierd numbers like that you really should be having a progesterone test. My Progesterone test was much more accurate of early pg viabilty than hcg # were.
If they are above 25 ng/ml (80 nmol/l) you have 98% chance of viable pg.
Currently cd29 (cycle is usually 27/28 days) with no bfp (think I had very feint evap line a few days ago). Still no af but have the usual symptoms. I have given up hope for this month so just want it to arrive!

Artisam what hpts are you using?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
I bought these from a bargain store in the U.K.- 'clear and simple' sensitivity is 20 or 25 if I remember correctly. Not tried any others. I can't find any frer in the shops. I have a sealed pack of clear blue digital but don't want to use these !!

I would def use one cb dig in the morning especially if you're technically late 😀 fx fx fx!!! Any signs af is coming? Or any other signs to report?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
Thanks-I'll try in the morning, cd30 if it doesn't show.
I feel af is imminent in terms of heavy crampy feeling, back pain etc. I said to my hubby once this month is out of the way I'll not obsess next month, I think I've just been so excited about TTC and wanted it to happen first time as it did with ds! (Even though we messed up dtd! ).
I think my af is being late just to wind me up!

Yep certainly possible she has a way of being late when we so want her not to show 😠 I will keep my fingers crossed for you for morning!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
This morning's is significantly lighter.

Might just be me but still looks dark momamia... can you take another pic once it's completely dry? I may not see it till morning (in bed now lol) but will be interesting to see :)

I am annoyed bc my fertility clinic won't test my progesterone levels! They say it's not Accurate bc it doesn't test the levels from the womb?
I HAVE progesterone left and now that I got my bfp I am wondering if I should start taking it.
Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
Pbn, I can definitely do that!
Robin, start the progesterone. Who did you get the progesterone from? I would go to that office and get more. If you start taking it, you have to continue it with a bfp so you'll need enough to last you to week 10.

So last cycle when I ovulated on cd19 I begged RE for progesterone to maybe help a shorter luteal. I always get af cd 29.
This cycle RE told me they don't test for progesterone and it's my call if I want to take it. They said it wouldn't hurt... but I have no idea my numbers. I've never taken progesterone in any other pregnancies though.. so I'm not sure what to do at this point.
I do still have more left...

Hi Shannshaff! Fx crossed for you! Hope you get some answers!
Looks good Moma!
I called my dr today & waiting for a return call. The bleeding is very heavy & I feel extremely exhausted like I want to sleep while driving!!! I feel slightly nauseous & a dull pain under my top left shoulder blade (like referred gas pain). Should I be concerned or does this sound like the typical chemical? Anyone have any experience with ectopic pregnancies?
I would take it. A lot of doctors think it's black magic (I've actually had a RE say this to me). If they'll give it to you, take it. It does not hurt anything to take it. I'm taking it currently too. :)

FWIW Robin, my OB tested my progesterone levels with this pregnancy and would have prescribed progesterone supplements if my level would have been lower than 25. I would say take it- it's not going to hurt and may help.

I do not have experience with ectopic pregnancies but have researched them deeply. Because of my tubal reversal, I have a much higher risk of having one. From what I understand, the pain is crippling. My miscarriage a few years ago was this way. I went to the ER because the pain was so bad. It turned out to be just a regular miscarriage. If you are concerned about it, go to the ER. They can run a battery of tests to figure out if that's what's going on. FX it isn't ectopic!
My Ovulation Chart
I would see what the Dr says, but the shoulder pain is troubling. That IS a sign of ectopic. I would get it checked out sooner rather than later. In my situation, I am to go to the ER immediately for any sharp pain. Praying for you Lola
Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it! I started feeling more nauseous at work & threw up several times. I rarely leave work for being sick, but couldn't stay today! Took a zofran & curling up in my bed while boys are at preschool! My dr wanted me to get it checked out, but doesn't have anything until Friday AM. I hesitate to go in if it's a CP and there's nothing that can be done about it. I'm going to go try to sleep it off for awhile!!!
Honestly, it is better to get checked out and it be just a CP than to wait and have it be an ectopic and you loose a tube or something worse! Please get it checked out ASAP if it is making you feel that bad!
Thank you for the luck pbn. I spoke to soon [emoji24]. Glad I didn't take the wrapper off that digital test! Now I can get on with things for next attempt x fx for anyone else waiting

Sorry lola & artisam...
Artisam I was hoping I'd conceive my first month after having iud out since it's happened so fast in the past. Kinda glad I didn't because I'm having a super light af I figure if I would have there wouldn't have been much lining built up yet for little bean to snuggle into. So hoping it happens this cycle I'm on cd4 right now!
Sorry, artisam. I hope you have better luck next cycle.
Lola, I agree you should go get checked out if you're still feeling bad. Please update us.
Robin,
I wouldnt be taking progesterone until you get your levels checked. Is there a private company you could use? It is not a very expensive test.
As for the supplements...i've had 4 losses in a row....progesterone does NOT help to prevent miscarriage in IUI or natural conceptions. it only delays the inevitable.
Progesterone is prescribed in IVF bc egg retrieval damages the corpus luteum.
So being on the LE diet and having af is killer I want to EAT THE HOUSE!!!! So as far as the exercise goes is it ok for 30minutes here and 30minutes there? Or does it need to be an hour all together for some reason?
And one more Q why do we want to just BD every 4 for a girl sway? Is it so there isn't as many sperm?
Yep, it's the nature of the beast! That's why most of us girl swayers save our cheat days around AF.
Exercise is best if you do 60min straight through. That being said, no less than 50min straight through is ok too.
BDing E4D is yo ensure only one attempt in your fertile window without having to use opks. It also helps maintain sperm count by BDing regularly without swaying blue.
