I agree

Most people wouldn't have that scan so wouldn't know what was happening at what point. Sound good to me that your hpts are getting stronger, good luck

We had been trying since August - this was our second cycle since the HSG, so I guess that might have done the trick.

Still testing every morning, and I keep saying to my husband - I'm still pregnant.

Lolly - I'll come introduce myself to the snowflake group.

OMG SMYTH!!!!! I just checked this thread and woohoooo a BFP! I am so happy for you! Told you, Vegas always does the trick

Congrats chica!

SMYTHDM,

hon dont worry when i was bleeding and having all my problems i had about 5 scans and they couldnt find anything - i have a retroverted uterus and so been was hidden. perfectly safe and happy but hidden.

you will be fine, its so so early you wont see anything for ages. Let nature take its course, little bean will get settled in and snug and you will see her when your body is ready

xxxxxx

Thanks guys!! I just got my levels back -

Beta = 71 (I'm 15DPO)
Progesterone = 12 (I am going on the suppositories today)
Estrogen - 148

Anyone know anything about those levels?

Mrs.B. · Apr 9th, 2012, 15:11 PM

Did they just give you them with no explanation?

smythdm · Apr 9th, 2012, 15:17 PM

They said that the progesterone is at the low end of the range for someone who is pregnant and the HCG may be low, may be fine - will depend if it doubles on Wednesday. No info about the estrogen level. I had suspected that my progesterone level was low in the first place. I'm really scared

DaisyQ · Apr 9th, 2012, 16:34 PM

Smyth, those progesterone levels are on the low side, so it's good you are starting suppositories. I don't have any data for you about normal progesterone levels in pregnancy at 15 DPO.

As for hcg, I just checked betabase.info, and 585 women had a beta between 58-106 at 15 DPO. These beta numbers are all for women with pregnancies confirmed by heart beat. About 25% of women reporting their betas were at 106 or lower at 15 DPO. So it's not like crazy low. My guess is that you implanted late.

DaisyQ · Apr 9th, 2012, 16:35 PM

And like the nurse said, the most important thing is if the level is doubling. Try to take it easy, and distract yourself for the next couple of days. That's the best thing you can do for the bean.

Thanks Daisy! Based on what I now think was IB I might have implanted late as well...

Any advice for the progesterone suppositories? What side effects did they give you? Not excited about them (though I know that they are a necessary evil).

DaisyQ · Apr 9th, 2012, 18:42 PM

Honestly, I don't feel like I had bad side effects - maybe just amplifies normal PMS symptoms, which are also identical to pregnancy symptoms... Mainly they make me feel tired, and icky, 'cause I'm oozing white gook all day. That's about it. I think my temp is a little higher on progesterone as well.

Are you taking endometrin or prometrium? How many times a day? I take endometrin twice a day.
