hm - you would think you would see it by now, Happily but you never know! If AF does show herself then I'll look forward to analyzing your chart next month! we'll get you there

Jess - can't wait to hear!! I'll check in later

 

[pinksmarties]

Happily I was stalking your chart but wasn't sure why there was only a few temp readings. Like Lindsey says you would have thought AF would be here now, maybe you did ov later than your thought.

Jess - waiting to here your result/drs appointment.

Kels - so glad everything is going great with beautiful Klhoe. Its amazing how time flies, B will be 8 months next week.

Linds -what are you doing for Oakleys birthday?

I just got my new basal thermometer this past weekend. I started temping the day I got it so I would be used to it.

 

[BeachChica]

Happily - I will be loking forward to stalking your chart as well!! I actually love temping, it makes me feel like I am more in touch with what is going on with my body.

Well I am back from the doctors. Things are looking good. Here are my results from Tuesday:
Beta: 9371
Prog: 26.6
My Beta's put me in the 6 week range (they should be over 18,000 now) and I had 4+4 on Tuesday based on my tracker, so maybe I did O earlier than I thought.

hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

•3 weeks LMP: 5 – 50 mIU/ml
•4 weeks LMP: 5 – 426 mIU/ml
•5 weeks LMP: 18 – 7,340 mIU/ml
•6 weeks LMP: 1,080 – 56,500 mIU/ml
•7 – 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 – 229,000 mIU/ml
•9 – 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 – 288,000 mIU/ml

They said based on those numbers they should be able to see something on the sono so have me scheduled for one tomorrow morning at 9:00am.

 

[HappilyTTC]

I look forward to any input on my chart ya'll can provide! I feel the same way- I enjoy being in touch with my body because of the temping process along with everything else.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let us know how it goes. I will be checking tomorrow night.

 

[confusedprego]

Jess I"m so excited for you! That's a great first beta reading! I wonder if you just had a quick implantation at 3 DPO? Is that possible? You could have O'd earlier but who cares as long as everything is looking good Can't wait to see that beautiful scan tomorrow!

 

[pinksmarties]

Oh wow a scan tomorrow that great. I was thinking you must have ovd earlier just to get a line like that on the frer. Wonderful news with the betas. Stick little little one stick.

 

[pinksmarties]

Happily temping was great for me I loved it. I would do it now even though not ttc just to know my cycle again again but I don't get enough continuous sleep!!!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to temping and seeing a pattern.

 

[korink26]

Jess I'm wondering if you ov'd around cd 13/14?? Omg how exciting if you end up 2 weeks further along than you thought!! How are you feeling compared to others? Your progesterone is great! I don't know much bout betas but judging by the chart-looks great! I have such a great feeling about this! Don't know how you'll manage to study with all this excitement. 2013 is going to be your year!

 

[babydust818]

WOW JESS! I am sooooo unbelievably happy seeing your results!!! What if you're having twins?!?!!? That would be awesome!! Regardless, that is an amazing beta reading. Great news to hear. When is your next appt???

Happily temping is so much fun! Especially in the 2WW. I seriously need to get a new thermometer and start temping again. I don't know WHY it's so hard for me to remember it at the store LOL. I remembered my prenatals today so i should remember my thermometer. Do you take any vitamins daily?

Speaking of vitamins... i take a prenatal, folic acid and a multi vitamin. Should i be taking anything else?

 

[confusedprego]

Rach - if you take a prenatal, I don't think you need a multi vitamin. Check and make sure you're not doubling up on anything as too much of some is not a good thing. My doctor used to tell me if I forgot if I took my vitamin that day to take it the next day so I didn't get too much of something (I forget which one). I know everyone else has taken other stuff so maybe they'll have more advice

Jess - can't wait to hear about the sono!

 

[BeachChica]

Rach - maybe add a baby aspirin also. Like Lindsay said I don't think you need the multivitamin. I have my spot at 9:00am so I will report afterwards.

 

[confusedprego]

Sam - missed your question - we're having a little cookout for Oakley's first birthday. My mom is making him his own little cake - first time having frosting!! He had a taste of cookie the other day and has learned how to nod "yes" well he puts his hands on his head and flaps his arms trying to move his head but yea - he had cookie and we asked if he wanted more and I swear the boy almost flew away he was flapping his arms so hard! haha so I'm assuming he's going to love cake! How's B doing with solids - you starting to wean at all?
Oh and I would totally still temp too just to know what my body is doing but like you my sleep is way too broken to get an accurate temp! Oakley slept through the night last night for the first time in a while last night - it was amazing! I feel like a new woman - forgot what it feels like to get rested!

Jess - let us know asap how it goes! Do you find out your betas from yesterday too?

 

[HappilyTTC]

Jess- Yay, how exciting! Can't wait to find out more.

Rachel- I like temping so far. I had to order my bbt off the walgreens website. The one I was able to buy in the store was broken and after that one, I realized NONE of the stores near me carry them!

I take a baby aspirin, prenatal, folic acid, and zinc. I am adding FertileCM to the mix, bought it at the Walgreens site when I bought my thermometer. I was going to add Fertile Aid in, but I am thinking that's too many. And I might get put on Clomid for my appointment on Aug 16. I just called our fertility clinic (while I was typing this) and they can see the husband as soon as Monday for an analysis. Looks like August could be our month to get everything set.

What's better? The fertility specialist at that clinic takes my insurance so I will at least get a little break with that appointment, though we have to pay outta pocket for the analysis. $130, but worth it.

Hi girls,
Not really sure what to make of my news. The ultrasound showed a yolk and gestational sak that is measuring 5+4 which is right in line with where I am date wise. The U/S tech said that everything looked good. The doctor though was a little concerned because my betas from yesterday were 21,936 which doubled nicely from Tuesdays appointment but he said over 15,000 we should see a fetal pole and heartbeat. He is just hoping the lab is using an extra sensitive assay and that the numbers may really not be that high. I have another U/S scheduled next week on Thursday so we'll see what happens then. Ugh!

It will all be fine. That US tech said everything looked good. Accept the positive. It's the truth.

 

[confusedprego]

There are a ton of positives from your scan today Jess so we're going to go with that! 5+4 is totally normal to not see a fetal pole yet and your betas doubled beautifully! Plus, you're measuring what you think you should! My doctor used to tell me betas are just a guideline and shouldn't be read into too much, they vary so much from person to person. When's the next scan/appt????

 

[confusedprego]

Oh next Thursday! I read too quick! I'm reading up on when you should see a fetal pole and it can take up to 6 and a half weeks to see a fetal pole so even though your betas are on the higher side you're still in line with where you should be from LMP.
