Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

Thanks, all!! I know it's likely just implantation, but I had some significant spotting this morning so I'm really nervous. I got a blood draw today and will do another Friday. Fx the levels are rising!

I know that you are not meant to google but I did. Depending on which site you believe, between 25-30% of healthy pregnancies have spotting in first trimester. I know what you mean about being nervous though. I hope your doctor can give you good news ASAP.

Thank you, Charlee and Emily! Googling symptoms is ok when you do it for someone else's symptoms! Those are very reassuring odds. In addition to all the normal reasons for wanting a sticky bean, I doubly dread the possibility of going back onto the LE diet after all the damage I've done to it in the past day and a half, haha.

Got some feedback from my doctor and she said my betas look good! That is such a relief, especially after the spotting I was having. Going to try and relax and enjoy this pregnancy now. Of course I will continue to check in on you lovely ladies and cheer you on!Can't wait until we're all in the DDClubs!

Congrats Niva!!!!!!!

TSP (tiny skinny positive) rather than BFP this morning with FMU spotting and cramping getting less and temp still looking good. I am starting to get more excited than worried. Will POAS again tomorrow to see if the line is stronger and can be photographed.

TSP? Hahaha, I like it! I was waiting for your bfp but a TSP is nearly as good! Those early pg symptoms just can't be ignored, can they? The hard tight feeling and light cramping is so give-away. Did you know the line would be there today? I had a feeling the line would show up on the day it did.

Congrats!!!!! I know it's real for you and will only get darker!!!

Uggh. Got my blood test results back from yesterday, and HGC is only 11. Progesterone is fine at 25.5. I'll get blood drawn again tomorrow to see if the hcg levels have doubled by then, but I won't get the results until Monday. I'm hopeful that my low levels might only be a sign that it's very early in the pg. I tested SO early that it's quite possible, and these tests these days are SO sensitive, but... I'm going to stick to LE principles a little while longer in case we have to start over again.

On the plus side, I poas again this morning, not with fmu, and the line was definitely darker than yesterday morning's with fmu. So my gut feeling is that my HGC levels are still rising.

Niva, please don't stress yourself about it. I have a good feeling that everything is okay for you and it is all just due to it being so early. From your chart it looks like implantation may have only happened on 8DPO, which would explain your initial low numbers.

[Niva]

Thank you, GeCon. I'm sure you're right. It's just hard not to worry that hcg should have been higher than 11 at 3 days post implantation. And that was the day AFTER my bfp, so that stick gave me a nice lovely line at less than 11 hcg!

Niva I agree 8 DPO looks like your dip. Fingers crossed for you.
