BFP?

I doubt it. The weirdest part is so far today I have no spotting...this is all making me really worried for an ectopic. With my last chemical I got a + then a few hours later I started bleeding heavily...this time lots of spotting but so far no heavy bleeding and now no spotting. Got a no - on FRER digi this am which I believe has a sensitivity of 15 or something so my levels aren't good. Here are my Wondfos for FMU...13, 14, 15 and 16DPO. Today's looks a little lighter. Today is CD35...blah. I'm 4+2 or if you go by my LMP 4+6 but I know when I ovulated...

I really hope it isn't an ectopic x

An extremely faint + on FRER so yep, it can catch super low betas. It's kind of a shame these really sensitive tests exist...so many non-viable chemical pregnancies are caught.

I dont think its ectopic. Generally they have flow bleeding. I bled for weeks with mine and was just like a period. Spotting generally doesnt come or go either as the body recognises that the uterus is empty and is trying to shed the lining. Further, beta levels rise with an ectopic and whilst yes, its not "normally" at a doubling rate, you would expect to see some progression by now.

Its good news that the spotting has stopped. I agree the strips did look darker x

Yeah it's just odd that my spotting stopped...I hope things get on with it so we can make a decision about next cycle...oh and here are my strips dry as you can see this am's at the bottom shows no progression...last 3 days have been about the same.

Ok so maybe one of my last updates here. I got my progesterone back and the nurse (who was extremely rude) said it was almost non-existent (less than 1). She said that the pregnancy was "abnormal" and that is why my progesterone was so low. I asked her if it was possible that my progesterone might be dropping too fast and inducing miscarriage and she was insistent that no, it's normal to be that low. It was 20.1 at 6DPO. I started asking if they prescribe Femara as I would prefer it to Clomid and she said no and that I'd have to see a reproductive specialist and that I won't be eligible because "my plumbing works well enough to conceive." Well gee thanks. Apparently the doctor isn't in today so I have to wait until Thursday to speak with her. I might start my Clomid and go 4-8 this time. I really have concerns about my progesterone but she was insistent that there isn't a problem. Now I feel like I cursed myself by having these "pregnancies" confirmed because apparently that takes away my option to a specialist.

Oh and today is CD1, lots of bleeding now. I am going to pick up my Clomid today...I might as well try this for one more cycle...but I also want progesterone suppositories I don't care what this woman was telling me I just honestly have a "feeling" about it...

I had a nurse saying the same thing to me about my progesterone. So I just told her, "Ok, well I guess if you won't prescribe something for me I'll just order some Progest Cream online." Immediately I had Prometrium called in for me to the pharmacy. I hate it when they are so unhelpful and do not seem to want to listen to you when you KNOW what is wrong with your body.

 

[chartay]

p.s. Prometrium is in pill form instead of suppository. Much better I think!

Maybe I just need to be more pushy. Maybe it was an abnormal pregnancy or maybe my corpus luteum crapped out and stopped producing progesterone...I think a supplement is the safest bet.

It definitely wouldn't hurt to try anyway! Good luck!
