My IC test line is just about as dark as the control line today. its taken its time (yes, Im still testing Otherwise I would feel helpless. I still test on Ic each morning and I still temp - its just a bit of reassurance each day)

Whos feeling Christmassy? Trees and decorations up yet?

 

[bloominbroody]

I was wondering if I could have some feedback on my results. At 13dpo hcg was 70 and progesterone 176. At 19dpo hcg was 425 and progesterone 76.6. I have calculated this as a doubling time of 2.3 days. I was hoping for better than this. What do people think?

Does anyone have any feedback on my results???

The normal is doubling entry 2-3 days. I don't know anything about the progesterone.

I don't really know, I only got blood work once at 11 DPO and HCG was 40 and progesterone was 25... and my doctor said it was good and no need to test again, so yours sounds good!

I had a doubling of 54 hours with my betas. My progesterone was 138. Im still getting darker tests and things seem to be ok. The progesterone, as far as I know, the higher the better! Im not sure about the decrease in your progesterone (or was that a typo?) My lab only measures up to 150 the its just 150+

Keep positive. Youre on the right track

Hi hon - Your numbers sound ok to me--every doctor is different. Mine likes to see numbers double every 48 hours but in all of the reading and web surfing I've done I always see 48 - 72 hours as normal doubling time. I think progesterone is calculated differently in the US than it is elsewhere so I can't answer that part.

Are you scheduled to go back for another test? What did your doctor say?

 

[twinkletots]

Put tree up this morning before work, my dd insisted on decorating it in the nude! Guess you can get away with that when you're three

So I am wondering if I should try and change my early scan and get it when I am 8 and half weeks pregnant instead of 7 and half weeks.
Both my m/c were after 8 and half weeks so don't want to be "reassured" too early.
What you ladies think?

 

[readynwilling]

Twinkletots - thats a hard decision. I think about 6-7 weeks you can see a heartbeat, and they say if the embroy has a heartbeat your chances of mc go WAY WAY WAY down. so i would think that by 7.5 weeks you should be able to see the hb and holding out another week wont matter. But i am no US tech or dr or anything

I did this up quick... do we like it??

Love the graphic, ready!

@Quisty, I think your HCG numbers look great, although I don't know much about the progesterone numbers. I would suggest you talk to your DR if you have concerns though. Here is a website that shows what the normal HCG levels are in early pregnancy, check it out. Good luck, I hope your numbers continue to improve!!

hCG levels during pregnancy
(in weeks since last menstrual period)

3 weeks LMP 5 - 50 mIU/ml

5 weeks LMP 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml

@Angel, we still need to put up our tree and christmas decorations. I wanted to do it today, but I need help with the X-mas tree and DH isn't feeling well today so I doubt that much will get done today.

@Ready, I think that August beach bump icon is cute!!


AFM,I woke up in the middle of the night and almost threw up lastnight, and it was more of a dry heave type thing. I didn't actually throw up anything, mostly spit. Oh joy. I also broke out in hives this morning, but no idea why that happened!! I used my DH's eczema skin cream and it seems to be helping though. I hope I am not allergic to any of the medications i am on right now. I called the nurses line at my fertility office to ask them about the hives and they said I can take Benadryl if I need to and to call them back if the hives get worse. Meanwhile I am going to stay on the medications like usual. I hope the hives go away. I hate being all itchy!! I don't really like taking Benadryl because it gives me heart palpatations, so if I can avoid it than I will, right now my DH's eczema skin cream seems to be working as long as I don't itch myself.

DH called in sick to work today since he wasn't feeling well. He started feeling sick yesterday but he still ran himself ragged working outside in the yard trying to clear the yard of leaves. But today I am going to get on his case and make sure he rests so he can get better!!!

I go for my first HCG beta blood work tomorrow morning at 9:30, and the Dr's office put a rush on the results so I am hoping I that will get the beats by tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck!!!

Love it Ready!

 

[mac1979]

I love it ready!!

 

[setarei]

@wannabeprego, good luck on the blood test and I hope the hives clear up soon.

 

[borr.dg.baby]

I love it Ready!

wannabeprego I am sorry about your hives... I had a spit up nausea incident one night too... But I am feeling good lately.
