imageshack is a website, not a Facebook page. Google it it's free image hosting then it can give you a HTML code image link x x

I just export mine out of iPhoto as a smaller picture and attach it to my post.

 

[readynwilling]

I have been a bit reluctant to join this thread because I just dont have a great feeling. I am currently 15DPO. I would like to attach a photo of my HPTs but I don't know how. Can someone tell me. I tested at 9DPO, 11DPO, 13DPO and 15DPO. The line is getting darker and today at 15 DPO it is as strong or stronger than the control. The thing is I had a blood test at 13DPO and my hcg was 70 and progesterone 7. These seem way too low. I didn't get to speak to my doctor directly. All the nurse said on the phone was that they could confirm I was pregnant and to re-do blood test in a week. I feel that they suspect I might miscarry but are not saying anything. Does anyone have anything to add about my results - good or bad. I would rather be realistic than live on false hope.

My level at 13dpo was 77
Not sure about progesterone. But at 10dpo prog was only 9.

If ring the doc and demand progesterone support.

to all.

I ordered a shirt with red and green owls on it for my DD (21 months) and it says Im going to be a big sister. I will have J wear it christmas day. Other than that i told my boss (becasue there is a lot of changes going on at work right now, and i think it should be taken into consideration) and my best friend. With J i told my parents and IL's right away and BOTH mothers blabbed... so they aren't finding out for a bit yet (more out of spite than anything LOL)

this isn't going to sit well with some and i appologize. But i really beleive that if you are not meant to have this baby, nothing you can do will stop it or cause it. I have never gone through it, nor do i wish it on my worst enemy. And its SOOOO hard not to worry. But if the worst is going to happen, its already in place to happen - i believe. So we are worrying/waiting... and it just causes us to me emotional wrecks. Its really really really hard to do - but everytime i go pee and wipe and i see no blood (or more creamy CM lol) i think "yay im still pregnant!" and that for me kinda balances the worrying in between. Im not downgrading the pain and suffering of having one, im just saying im not sure we can stop it - so we need to find the little bits of joy amoungst the worry.

I agree, i too check when wiping after peeing to make sure no blood but that's a habit from ttc since Oct. But each time its like phew! Still pg!. I must say tho my previous pregnancies i didn't worry at all at any stage. I think reading other ladies mc/pg worries plants the seed of doubt & worry in ur mind which doesn't help at all.
For that reason alone i only visit this thread & 1 other since my bfp to lower my worries as im the only one to not have mc as my sisters both have had several mc, one has 4 kids & the other is 20ish wks expecting a girl (furthest she's gotten in pg)
so with this bit of knowledge i count myself extremely lucky to not have had to go through anything like many of the stories i see on here alot.
Sorry going on! Lol
i may be quiet next few wks, got xmas school fairs, xmas concerts, final present & xmas food buying & ensuring im upto date with all utility bills by xmas so i have no worries over Christmas itself. Will of course update when i finally gte to see a mw.
Do u think its worth booking in with a nurse instead of doctors as nurses appointments are more available so thinking i could see one b4 the 21st Dec which may give me a mw appointment b4 xmas. Does that all make sense?

Ok gotta finish reading the pages I've missed!

borrdgbaby, im so sorry! that must have been hard!!
Mine wasnt nearly as confirmed as that, but my boobs got sore a few days after ov and remained painful for about 2 weeks, then I stared getting cramps, then started spotting which lasted a day or 2 then turned to really heavy af with pain.
Usually my boobs get sore 3-4 days before af then are fine, and af turns up in full force along with cramps at the same time. I never get a build up and it always starts the same way! Last month was the first time it has deviated from the norm in years!! (not been on bc for about 6yrs)
This month everything was exactly the same but no blood and a bfp instead
So no idea if it was or not, but we are pretty damn sure!! Hopefully that was our one and only loss if it was!!

 

[Sheffie]

Ugh! My doctors office just called and left a voicemail while I was in the shower... They said they would only call me about my blood work if they saw a problem, so now I am stressing out like crazy! They called at 5:02 and I called back at 5:07 but they were already forwarding calls to an operator because they close at 5. Now I have to wait until 9AM! Why would they do that to me!?

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Oh no Sheffie I am so sorry!! It sucks that you have to wait until tomorrow!!!!

 

[JenzyKY]

Hugs Sheffie!! Surely it's just something little!

 

[Lionchild]

Got my results!!!

HCG went from 312 to 1536! No more blood tests now. Ultrasound on Monday morning at 9am.

Yay!!! That's awesome!!!

 

[setarei]

Holy shyster. My doubling time is 25 hours. Beta went from 653 to 2211 in 43.5 hours. This should be good news, but now I'm freaking myself out that I have a molar pregnancy. I know way too much. Ahhh. Darn medical education.

Zooma I know how you feel because I have the same worry with my doubling time of 29hours. When will you be able to see a doctor? As far as I know the only surefire way of detecting a molar pregnancy is by ultrasound. In the meantime let's hope for twins.

 

[Quisty]

Well I called my fs back in a panick about my results and asking to do another blood test. I must have heard the wrong thing when the nurse called me with the results. My hcg was 70 and my progesterone was actually 176 not 7!!!!!! I feel like a right twerp!!! So, feeling much better.
I didn't question the progesterone level when I initially got the results over the phone because I didn't know what normal was. It's only after searching the net that I was alerted to something being wrong. And apparently there is ..... my hearing!!!!

If its of any comfort, with my second son I had a doubling time of 29 hours. There was just one very healthy little one in there. Be pleased with your numbers! I only wish mine were showing such great progress!!

 

[Sheffie]

So after freaking out about that phone call, I bought another Digi test (I don't want to see lines... They just stress me out more!) I was thinking with faint lines yesterday that this would just come out negative and I could get over this stressing and just know and try to move on. HOWEVER, it actually came out positive! So I'm hopeful yet again and keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[setarei]

Angelmarie that is a comfort thank you for the reassurance.

 

[ZooMa]

Congrats to all you lucky ladies!

Hugs to all the unlucky ones.

AFM: Hoping for just one happy little bundle of cells nestling down into a fluffy uterus right about now. U/S scheduled for 12/20 at approx 7wks+.

Now to wait.

That timing stinks! Easier said than done, but try not to worry too much. A lot of times calling is just routine; even if your provider said she'd call only with problems, that message sometimes slips by the office staff. Or, it could be something very minor like a very slight anemia, a contaminated urine sample (not bad like it sounds), or something inconsequential. FX!
