Hibiscus - welcome home! I think you being nauseated is a good sign that your hcg levels are high! If it's not too hard to write about, when you had your mc's at 7 weeks, apart from low hcg, did you have any symptoms that it was happening? I'm just making sure I'm cautiously looking out for anything unusual. If I'm prying too much or if you find this too hard to discuss, I totally understand, and you needn't reply to this question
Best of luck with your bloods! Let us know how you get on.
As for me today, my temp is up higher, BBs still sore (though not crazy sore), no nausea, no spotting - I hope everything is going along ok... I'm very impatiently waiting until next Mon to do another bloodtest to check hcg. Also finding it very hard to concentrate at work!!
Hi Joli--I hope you are right about the hCG being high! I had the blood draw this AM and will get results tomorrow AM.
You're definitely not prying too much about the MCs. It's totally understandable to want to know about whether there are any signs you should be aware of.
With the first one, I started brown spotting at 6w1d, and went in for a blood test. I think my hCG was only about 600, up from 73 on 13 dpo. Right then, then Dr said it wasn't a good sign. Should easily have been about 5000+. The spotting continued all week, every time I went to the bathroom (was liquidy, too, not like a little occasional tinge of brown in the CM like I've had this time around), and finally at 6w6d, I started cramping and fully bleeding.
The 2nd time, my OB/GYN was monitoring me from the beginning. I had an hCG of about 1000 at 5w0d, which was right on track, and then at 6w0d, it was only about 2200, so something happened between 5w and 6 w to slow it down. I had no spotting at that time at all, but again at 6w6d I stated bleeding and cramping heavily, and it was all over within a few hours.
The most common cause of MCs at this stage is simply genetic, either randomly, or because of something inherited from the parent. The checked my chromosomes and it turns out I have an inversion on one of my Chromosome #10s, but the genetic counselor told us this particular inversion is not harmful and is not linked to recurrent MCs or birth defects. Even if it is, I suppose that means that half of my eggs have the "normal" Chromosome 10, so I should have a 50/50 shot each time.
The counselor and the OB/GYN both said they thought it was just a streak of bad luck. I hope that's the case, of course.
The OB/GYN said it's very unlikely that the MCs were the result of something I did or didn't do, so that I shouldn't worry about it. The OB scoffed when I suggested I had too much caffeine; she said the chance of that causing a MC is almost nonexistent. At least that takes a weight off, ya know? It's kinda out of your hands then.
The other potential issue is autoimmune, since I have the thyroid issue. I could be predisposed to others. However, they tested for the most common clotting issues and I don't have them, so again this seems like it was probably just a random genetic issue.
Woohoo about your boobs! That is certainly a reassuring sign, even though it's not pleasant haha. I actually felt more pregnant before my BFP than I did in weeks 4 to 5. I had almost no symptoms until middle of last week, and then the sore boobs got much worse, and I'm having nausea throughout the day. The weird pressure around my uterus is back, too.
I think it's totally normal to not have any nausea or anything until like 6 or 7 weeks.
I'll let y'all know about tomorrow's result. Trying not to think about it, but am feeling a bit nervous of course
I'm sooo bad, maybe try one tomorrow...tee hee. Bad influence I know
*
came.* 
?
so I plumped for 98.67.* From experience I know my temp climbs sharply between the hours of 5am and 7am so its very important I take it at the right time to be accurate – but I wanted to go ride in the lovely spring sunshine.
but now I have no idea when I'll ovulate...I really want to buy some opks, I should have orded some ics. 
this cycle. 
huge congratulations!!!! yipee Can't wait to see the next test!!
