Tagging in and crossing my fingers!

Tagging in and crossing my fingers!

This just made me crack up laughing. I’m fresh off of the positive test. Heading in for bloodwork to check hormone levels and thyroid this afternoon. I’m teetering between anxiety & fear. This will be my last pregnancy, no matter the outcome. I feel like there’s even more pressure now. Eek. Trying to remain calm and focused on positive things!!!
I’m exhausted, heartburn has crept in, and I’m having pulling and twinges in my lower abdomen. I’m declaring all of these things GOOD news!!

Hannah - for good news from the bloodwork!!!!!!

Bloodwork numbers on 11dpo: hcg 25, progesterone 14.4
Good? Low? Too soon to tell?
Repeating on Wednesday

Hannah - It sounds low but maybe not for 11 dpo as that's still really, really early, and not everyone even has a positive HPT by that point! But I know it's the Wednesday number that's more important because it will show how much it's increasing. If you've doubled/more than doubled by Wednesday that's a good sign! As far as the progesterone, I think that's OK, I've read that some doctors like to see it above 20 but I think technically anything above 10 is considered sufficient. And again, 11 dpo is so early it may be higher in a few days. With my first two m/c's, my progesterone at 14 dpo was 9, which was def not a good sign!

Have you taken any more FRERs?

Here's one website with info on HCG: https://www.advancedfertility.com/earlypre.htm

According to one study on here the average HCG @ 14 dpo was 48.

Thank you so much. I was surprised it was 25 but the tests aren’t super dark so I guess that makes sense. So I had a barely there 72 hours before my bloodwork. If the FRER indeed picks up very low hcg, then it looks to be doubling nicely. We’ll see with tomorrow’s bloodwork!

Yea I think FRER picks up an HCG of like, 5 or something so it's very sensitive!! Hope you get a great number tomorrow!!

Hannah, you are so early I'd think that HCG is just fine! Your progesterone is middling -- I've heard some say they want anything over 10 before a BFP, and others say at LEAST 15 is preferable, but I'm also sort of a believer in progesterone being not the golden rule that people think... is it possible for you to get on some supplementation just to be safe?
