The blood work came back at 4 miu--clearly just leftover from the shots but for anyone wanting a FAST answer...thats the stick to use!!!

    Forgot to mention--the FRER came back POSITIVE. 2 hours later blood was drawn with 4 miu (a technical negative since 5 miu is the minimum by any standards for a bfp)....which means it reads at least 4 ir 5 miu....WOW...IM IMPRESSED!

    I didn't even know FRER made digis! The standard FRER is supposed to detect 6.5 miu according to consumer tests.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    HCg levels dissipate out the blood ****** and urine at different rates. It leaves the blood first and the urine last, so even if you blood hcg was 4, in your urine it may be higher which would trigger the positive.

    Praying for GS to come to Australia for a little pink bundle!
