August Beach Bumps - 24 Girls, 27 boys, & 2 team yellow! 39 babies born!!

Betas look very promising for twins!!! The other option is very early implantation, but I am thinking that's twins!

Yea, early implantation could be it too. I was super early with both my boys, I knew way early even my doc didn't know how I knew yet. Just fun to play the guessing game while I can!

 

[Beemama321]

I had my first beta on 14DPO and it was 519. Today at 16DPO it's 1185. Does that seem high to anyone? My husband is convinced its multiples, I kinda have a feeling too.... I got a super strong positive at just 9DPO?

I think those figures sound awesome! I have done lots of research on betas lately and the one conclusion I have come to is that it is not a science and they vary so massively that there are no foregone conclusions prior to u/s. Very frustrating!

However I think that, given what you have said about your history I think it gives you a good chance! Fingers crossed for you!!!

It is frustrating that normal numbers can be so wide spread. I mean 5-7,000 for 5 weeks, like really?? Just been researching betas to kill the time... we all have ALOT of time to kill before late July/August

 

[Beemama321]

I don't know anything about betas, but isn't it a pretty good possibility with 3 follies? I don't know anything about IUI, but couldnt you have O'd with 3 then?

This is all new to me too. Both my sons were conceived naturally, this was my first foray into fertility help. I guess we will find out!

Why is our board not showing in the first trimester section?

Why is our board not showing in the first trimester section?

Groups like this aren't supposed to be in the first tri section... they all start out there, but the Mods will go in every few weeks and move them over the lounge area under "pregnancy groups" really ticks everyone off LOL

Welcome MommeeLise!

 

[JenzyKY]

I like it in the groups better. It doesn't get buried at the bottom of the page here.

At work today they were saying you couldn't find out you were pregnant to close to 5 weeks. I was laughing inside and since I was 3 weeks and 3 days with my positive test.

 

[Crystal5483]

I was 3 weeks 2 days.... lol silly work!

 

[charlie00134]

I was 3w3d too. looks like the consensus proves them wrong lol

 

[borr.dg.baby]

I was 8 DPO or 3 weeks when I got my first positive... and I am sure as I was tracking O and charting.... I had a similar experience about a friend trying to tell me I conceived last month when we went out for drinks, I kept telling her no, since I had AF that day, but she kept insisting it must have been that day because we were tipsy and I guess in her mind that's the only way you can make babies? I found it incredibly annoying... wanted to shout: I CONCEIVED NOV 10th!!!! lol

 

[Sheffie]

I might be out for this month... I took another frer hoping for a line as dark as the control, but found it had gotten *much* lighter. Still there, but maybe a quarter as dark as the day before. I thought my general lack of symptoms was a bad thing... Now to play another waiting game *sigh*

 

[Crystal5483]

Sheffie I have found that different boxes of FRERs tend to have different sensitivity. Don't give up yet. Maybe phone the doctor and ask for advice if you feel that it really is ending?

AFM I just went for my fourth blood test.... Hoping to see at least 624 since that would be 72 hour doubling time which is max. Still hoping for 33hr doubling lol

 

[mama d]

Good luck today, Crystal! Let us know as soon as you hear!

Sheffie: I agree with Crystal, which is why I won't test anymore. The lines can definitely fluctuate. There are so many factors involved: urine concentration, amount dye, test sensitivity, etc... Definitely call the doctor if you're feeling sick but honestly, don't put too much thought into the line colors. Fx'd for you!

 

[charlie00134]

Sheffie: the others are right, so many things can affect your line x

Crystal: FC for your results

AFM: I'm out of work early to go to the GPs, Im hoping to get an early midwife referral and maybe a blood test.

 

[Crystal5483]

Thanks ladies. Fingers crossed!!! If levels look good I'm going to ask for my scan

 

[Barhanita]

Sheffie: even though we are all crazy about our lines, they don't say much. you have to be using tests with identical amounts of dye, the same pee concentration, and other factors can add up...

Crystal: Oooo, good luck! Let us know. I am going in tomorrow and hoping for 300... The nurse said she would be happy with 240 though...

Charlie: Good luck with your appointment and I hope they will be proactive.

As for me: absolutely cannot sleep or eat. Went to bed at 9:30pm, got up at 11 pm, then went to bed at midnight and got up at 4 am, after waking up too much. Anyone else like that? As far as food goes, yesterday I had a yogurt and a taco and felt like I overate... I've already lost 5 lb over the past week, and I have a low bmi to begin with...

and then this morning i did a FRER and a Digi - was hoping for a 3+ but i guess i'll just have to wait a few days and do another

At first i was freaking out the line was taking so long to darken up then i realized the line on the right is the CONTROL line and the darker line is my

 

[readynwilling]

so far this pregnancy is exactly the same as my first. I have zero symptoms - its kinda nice. No , no insomnia, no bloat - just another day. so i have my fingers and toes crossed for a repeat!

 

[Barhanita]

Readynwilling, those are some GREAT lines!!!

 

[JenzyKY]

Sheffie could the pee be less concentrated? I can't hold it very long anymore and wake up multiple times during the night to pee (annoying!) so it's not as concentrated anymore.

Barhanita, I eat all the time now. I get hungry a lot it seems. I started off with a real low bmi but feel huge now!!

 

[Crystal5483]

My test line was lighter too but this is a different box of FRER and I think this is the same batch that gave me lighter lines than the previous days last month!
