TTC GIRL- MAY 2012

Another thought. My doc tested LH level today and repeat Friday. I guess he wants to watch when I surge.

Soooo hungry today, argh! Binged on crap so my calories are 1500-odd which is 300 too many for my sway... even though my fat/protein stayed the same since it was a jelly meerkat binge and meringue binge!

Guess it could be worse... just didn't want to do that so near possible O. Once I started, I couldn't stop! Hopefully it doesn't add any weight on me. Not the time to stress, I know!

It won't suregena. I think sometimes it helps you loss when you stagger cals. 1200, 1500, 1200, 1250 etc. some weeks I ate under 1000 lost nothing other weeks ate more and lost. All good most on here do 1500-1800. I do less bc I'd never lose at that level

Hope-How was the apt today??

[HopeandDreamG]

Thanks for asking amari! It was great I'm still smiling. I got the doc instead of tech. He did the ultrasound and said I was "loaded" with eggs (didn't tell dh he'll freak) I had several and 4 good size. Will trigger Wednesday start dtd tomorrow through Friday. On Saturday he wants me to start progesterone and a blood thinner I use during pregnancy to make sure if bean fertilizes it implants. I feel really good about this month. The cycle started on ds1 bday too! Really happy right now . Thank you so much for thinking of me today!
How are u feeling?

Well just an update,
Got my blood tests back and my HCG levels are at 28. They want to test again on Thursday to see if there is an increase. She said its on the low side for 4 weeks but still positive, now im beginning to worry a little bit that it may be a chemical. My tests are not really getting any darker. I have been testing daily and the test from today is no darker than the tests from the other day, is this normal? Can someone please let me know if their HCG levels were around the same and they did go up? Feeling a little down since getting this result, do not want to feel this way for the next few days until my next results.
My boobs are still a little sore (not really bad but are a tiny bit sore when I push them. And still feeling a little queasy but also get slight twinges down below. Hoping its nothing but any advice good or bad is welcome right about now.

Please baby bean stick to mummy! You have no idea how much you are wanted x

Kiesse, my levels were only 46, 2 days after my BFP but by the following week they were 546!
Don't give up all hope yet. Just get redrawn on Thursday.
