I did a clearblue plus sign today at 15 dpo. It's so much darker then 12 dpo. I'll post the pic when I get home! I'm not as worried anymore. I ordered 3 FRER which will come Thursday. By then it should be very dark! No more wondfo for me. They just make me anxious.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Welcome and congrats to everyone else who has joined in the last couple of days! I'm a Leo, and I'm so excited that the little bean will likely be a Leo too.

Congrats Mama D and Crystal on your excellent beta results!!

Sheffie, this is my first too. It's surreal but so exciting!!

I was having cramping the past few days, but none so far today. I've also had more CM than normal and have had a couple waves of nausea today, but other than that, no symptoms.

That is awesome, Jenzy!!! I'm seeing progression as well, but I'm not entirely sure how far along.

Lionchild - whats your EDD? I'll add you to the first post!

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Lionchild your symtoms sound exactly like mine.. except I also have fatigue and increased smell... but I don't feel bad... It gets to me because I feel like I might have lost my bean.... I am just anxious and then I feel guilty for being anxious because it's not good for the baby...

Yay Lionchild!!! Lovely avatar pic!!! My cramping has died off for the most part but it is very uncomfortable to have something tight around my pubic bone area. I had to stretch out my jeans. Bean didn't want anything touching it I guess! Hehe

Here's my pics! DH says that the lines do not mean that its healthy, but its quite a bit of reassurance for me.

Very beautiful, very bright!

 

[Sheffie]

Jenzy- those look great!

Lionchild- congrats on your first too when is your EDD?

Also, my EDD is probably 8/3 if you want to add it to the first post!

Here is my line progression I combined the pictures of all these tests from pictures of when they were still wet at ten minutes.




I'm so excited / nervous for Thursday's blood test!!

 

[Barhanita]

Crystal, it's fabulous!

My doc told me that I can have another test only in a week I'll try o push it tomorrow, but there is not much I can do.

 

[Crystal5483]

Thanks, readynwilling!

I'm guessing my due date will be August 7th or 8th. Let's go with lucky number 7 for now!!

I'm confused because I started getting BFPs on cd 18. Crazy right? I think I o'd super early on cd 9 or 10 (after I got a positive looking opk that I thought was a fluke on cd9). I have no idea how this happened like this. I randomly took a pt (expecting it to be negative) because I kept getting positive OPKs, which I thought was odd. It was lightly positive on cd18, and now I have 12 positive tests (darkening) over the past 5 days.

Don't worry, borr! I've had a couple of friends who didn't have many symptoms until the second trimester. Out of my friends who did get symptoms in their first trimester, all of them told me the symptoms didn't really start until around week 6. The best we can do right now is assume everything is going to be fine. It is comforting to feel symptoms, but not feeling them (especially this early) is totally normal for many women.

I'm probably ~14 DPO. The progesterone level of 9.7 ng/mL was disappointing, as the midwife said she was looking for a number >= 18.

I had the midwife write me a script for progesterone just in case it came back low. I got my progesterone levels back tonight after the office was already closed, so I decided to fill the script and start taking the suppository tonight. I don't know if they'll ask me to continue, but I don't think it could hurt anything now other than delay the inevitable.


Good news is my bHCG seemed decent at ~630 (can't remember exact number). Bad news is my next level isn't due for another 36 hours.

We'll see what happens with the bHCG. Maybe that will give me a better idea as to whether to expect a MC or not.

Sorry to bring down everyone's happy posts. If everything turns out well, I'll be thrilled to keep joining you all in this thread. If being an August Momma is not in the cards for me, well, I'm just glad this practice I'm going to seems willing to be aggressive with ordering tests and trying to figure out what's going on sooner rather than later.

I am spending way to much time online with this stuff. I know too much. It's nerve wracking!
