A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

[Sooperhans]

I use them ones too....how do you get around the waiting 20mins for the pee to get to room temp at work? Otherwise I'd do it x

 

[cupcake1981]

Are you supposed to wait for it to get to room temp?? I have never heard that or done that?! I just pee and dip! Works for me!

 

[Sooperhans]

It says to on the ones I've got...never really known why! Hmm maybe I'll try, not leaving it at work....x

 

[cupcake1981]

I have the green one step ones. I've never done it, I'll re-read the pack. They work without doing that anyway! Give it a whirl!

 

[Nicki123]

Monro that is def a line wahoo!! Fx for. H&h9m

Soop, I hope acu is relaxing tomorrow. I used to Opk at work too (had a plastic cup hidden up in the pipe work, the things we do!) then realised my surges lasted all day so don't need to now. But I never read anything about room temp! Maybe I used a diff brand?

Cupcake, so glad you are feeling a little brighter
my course is in Human Resources, I have just missed the November intake but have decided its probably for the best as work is manic at the mo, not helped by my two sick days....so behind! but if I start in Jan it's 9 ish months so whatever happens I'll fit it in as I don't think well start ttc til feb as I want to do nkcell testing first.

Feel much better today, unbelievably so. The only thing affected still is my appetite (if anything good has come of this bug I think I've lost a pound or two!)

 

[monro84]

Just got my test results
Hcg 22.40
Progestrone 43.96

Isn't that kinda high which is good.
When I was pregnant with the twins/triplets my first levels were
Hcg 51.83 @10dpo but I got a positive early at 7dpo so I am 2 days behind where I was.
Progestrone was 33.56

Hi Ladies, Was wondering if i can join in on this thread, I have had 6 lossess 3 early miscarriages and 3 second trimester with my most recent in 2/12@20 weeks I am still hoping and praying for baby #1

 

[thurl30]

Soop how did acu go? I'm doing professional certificate in management with the OU, I'm slightly regretting it to be honest but I'm sure I will feel better when I have caught up

Just re the opk's, I use the one step green handle ones and they do say it's better to let the test and the wee get to room temperature, but from what I have heard I don't think that's really necessary, I'm loving the tips like hiding a plastic cup at work

Cupcake hope you're doing ok hun

Nicki I love that you see the positive side of being poorly

Monro all sounds good hun, love the ticker

Keli so sorry to hear about your losses, welcome to the thread

 

[Emmediva]

Monro, Congratulations on your BFP!!! Your levels sound great! Mine was 94 HCG at 13dpo and progesterone was around 15 or so. I got my BFP on my OH’s birthday, how cool that you get yours so close to your birthday! Sending you massive amounts of baby and positive vibes. Stick beanie, and grow, grow, grow.

Thurl30, thanks hun I hope it will be ok. Yay for more stable temperatures!!! And way to go on the weight loss!!

Ayclobes, I have an appointment today to check his growth and then a doctor appointment. I’m happy to see bubs again but am not looking forward to the doctor appointment, she’s going to tell me about GD blah blah. I am already making diet changes, cutting back on carbs, no more sodas, substituting Splenda instead of sugar etc. It’s so hard to do since I can’t buy food just for myself
Sooper, I’ve never done ACU but I’ve heard great things, hope it gives you some awesome results!

Nicki, glad you’re feeling better!

Keli, welcome to the thread, sorry you found yourself here. Miscarriages are hard but even more so when you are that far along. So sorry for your losses.

:wave: hi to anyone I’ve missed

AFM, I have my ultrasound appointment at 3, then my doctor appointment at 4. We’ll see what she says, but like Ayclobes said, I don’t think she’ll let me get to my due date. I SO don’t want to be induced though the pain is much worse when they induce versus natural, and I don’t want drugs darn it!!! I know I’ll have to do whatever they tell me for the baby’s health and mine but ugh! I feel helpless. I hate feeling helpless

Sending tons of baby to all of you TTC and tons of positive vibes to the preggos

 

[thurl30]

Happy 30 weeks Emme

 

[thurl30]

Oh and hope your appointments go ok, let us know how you get on x

 

[Nicki123]

Hi KeliP. Big Welcome to the thread. So so sorry to read about your losses, you have been through such a lot.

I hope things go well at the Dr Emme ... I know you want things to go as naturally as possible.

Thurl I am sure you will catch up on your course soon.

Monro so glad you are happy about your numbers

IT'S FRIDAY TOMORROW!!

 

[Emmediva]

Thanks for your support ladies! What would I do without y'all well... baby is weighing in approximately 4lbs 6oz I need to research how much they gain weekly after 30 weeks... And when I went to my doctor and did my weigh in guess what?! I lost 7lbs from the last weigh in!!! Yay me!!! So cutting soda, sweets and reducing my carb intake is working! the doctor said if I am able to keep my blood sugar level in check through diet I can have a natural pregnancy and natural birth!! I'm happy about that! She said women with GD tend to have bigger babies but the main risk is because their shoulders/chest/abdomen gets bigger than their head which in "normal" pregnancies is the biggest. So when you push them out they can get stuck which is why in those cases they prefer c-sections. So I'm yeah I'm sticking to my diet without saying a word.

 

[KeliP]

Thanks for the welcome ladies

 

[Sooperhans]

Many congratulations Monro and those numbers are great. Really happy for you

Nicki, yay it's Friday today!!!

Kelip welcome and so sorry, all those losses must have been hard. Have you had testing carried out and what did it say? X

I checked my ov stick instructions again and it did say room temp etc. I forgot to bring one to work and test the immediate dip rather than waiting. So I'll try one tonight and then over the weekend.
Acu was really good, she was really pleased about the health kick! And as I was cd10, I had needles in my abdominal area, 1 in my left foot for conception, 1 in my hand and another under my chin. I felt really chilled after and hoping that it will help this month.....x

Emme that's great you have seen an improvement already, well done!

Has anyone heard from Beach? Is she ok? And Wookie, how are you? How is everyone this fine Friday? Xxx

 

[monro84]

Well not to sure whats gonna happen. The test are darker but not as dark as the should be. I have my test from last time in July and I had 3 betas done then the first was 24 the second was 51 the third was 12. I have test from the first and second beta and have been comparing them well last night I took a test after a 7 hrs hold with nothing to drink. It was hardly dark at all it was as light as my test 2 days ago but then I ttook another test 2 hrs later with something to drink and it was the darkest yet . That test was darker compared to the first July beta test but not as dark as the second July beta test. And its about the same darkness as the rest from the day inbetween the betas. I know people say quit testing snd don't judge it by the test there are different dye amounts and other factors that can affect the darkness but by testing up the hcg it has always worked for me in determining if the pregnancy was progressing. And my progestrone was pretty high so if my betas don't come back much higher than before then I am going to say it is a good probability that it is etopic because that is associated with high progesterone when the numbers do not go up much. I really hope I am wrong but I have not been wrong about my pregnancies yet.

 

[monro84]

I also just check the portal from the RE's office and the Dr. messaged me the 14th (my first beta) and said he could not wait to see my #'s go up. Then asked if I was on progestrone supplements lol. I told him no but I was suppried it was that high too because it was not that high with the twins/triplets in Aug last yr. I am not sure how often he cks his messages so it might be a while before I hear back from him. I did mention that "I have been having different pains in my lower abdoman around my left ovary area than any of my other pregnancy. They are sharper and make me have to stop what I am doing. Asked if there is a possibliity of etopic if the numbers don't rise like they should or am I just over reacting."

 

[monro84]

OMG just got my numbers 80.50 they trippled.
that is 24.7 hrs doubling time.
I think I got my STICKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nicki123]

Yay Monro that is great news!! Phew.

 

[wookie130]

Monro, I drag ass on this thread for a week, come back, and here you are preggo, with TRIPLING beta #'s!!! You go, girl! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now, make sure they squeeze you in for an early reassurance scan around the 7-8 week mark...that really helps too!

Good for you!

Soop, I'm doing really well, and apparently so is the baby! I can feel her kicking me as we type!
