Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

The highest I got was 600. And that was at 6 +weeks. Dr said my numbers were so low that my body couldn't support the pregnancy. Even if they continued to double I never would have been in normal range. At 9dpo last time I had a very faint positive. Got my digi at 11dpo. This time I got my faint positive at 7dpo and my digi at 9dpo. Hoping that's a good sign. Everything has been so quick.

My highest was 212 at 5 weeks. Then a week later it was 11. I knew i lost it though cause of all the bright red bleeding. The nurse told me it was still viable where my numbers were at at 5 weeks cause they nearly doubled from my first test. That one was at 23. So I had a couple days where I thought maybe, but it just took my body some time to realize there was nothing there to support anymore.

 

[mailcmm]

It's so awful the way it happens. I had no clue. Just started bleeding and bam it is was over. Well not really started to mc on 4+ and finished at 6+ that's when my numbers stopped and the did the d&c. I was on bed rest for 2wks. it was hell.

Today's test.

 

[Twinkie210]

Mine got up over 20,000! I found out it was nonviable through and U/S @ just over 7 weeks, never passed the sac naturally and had to have a D&C @ just shy of 8 weeks. So the main thing is don't stress, whether the numbers or high/low or inbetween you can't really tell what is going on just through blood tests. You just have to relax and have faith!

 

[Twinkie210]

Today's test.

That is a nice looking line! When are you going to stop testing? You are going to drive yourself crazy...

 

[moter98]

Mail- that's a dark line for so early. Awesome!
Twinkie- oh, that must have been horrible to find out that way. You were probably all excited to see your LO and then to get news like that . I can't even imagine. I at least got to find out at home. Hate hearing bad news at the drs office. They tell you and just send you on your merry way to figure out what the heck just happened.

 

[mailcmm]

I may stop testing when I know the numbers are doubling and everything is ok. lol Kidding. It's just nice to wake up each morning and see those 2 lines. And I know realistically, that means nothing as it takes time for hcg to leave your system, but it gives me faith each day. I am a glass isn't just half empty but its cracked and leaking kinda gal. My worry about the numbers comes from my wretched first dr. He told me up front my numbers were too low and that I would lose the baby. And I know they could be higher and I could still MC, but it will help me to see them higher then last time. Will give me hope which is usually at a low in general.

I can't imagine finding out at ultrasound. That would just be awful.

Well I had this feeling that the scan would be bad, because I had spotting and terrible backaches the week before, but yeah I was hoping to see a little bean with a heartbeat and instead saw an empty sac My Dr. has agreed to do another early U/S next time, but it will be nerve wrecking going in that same room! Worst of all I didn't even get to talk to the Dr. about it, I had to go home and wait for the nurse to call me after the Dr reviewed the scan pics! I of course knew what I should be seeing and was sure of my dates, so I already knew what the nurse was going to tell me when she called.

Anyway, enough talk of bad news... I can't wait to see new little scan pics and see more BFPs!

Well if the tests help you, then by all means keep testing! LOL

I can't wait for u/s pics. Unfortunately they are so far away. lol. I am still contemplating the way these tickers get their info. Mine says 2+6. But if today is the 21st and my lmp was dec 1st shouldn/t today be 3 wks? lol Who was the math impaired person set to the task of pregnancy math.

It seems like the stupid ticker is subtracting the date from your lmp and getting 20 days... but the first counts too so I agree you should be 3 weeks today! It is crazy you found out so soon!

 

[moter98]

Wow finding out before three weeks. Thats so cool. Can't wait for more u/s pics now.

 

[mailcmm]

is that really crazy? I was totally shocked to get a bfp at 7dpo. Just seems too early. Not in a worrying way but just seems unlikely. And that line is dark. Yall need to test early too. I am ready for us all to be expecting. lol

OMG.......this scares me so bad. I am terrified to get my u/s next week.

 

[mailcmm]

Everything is going to be fine berdc. You are going to see a heartbeat and it will be the best day ever.

i cant wait to see the pics.

 

[moter98]

Mail you're bfp has given me lots of hope. I'm gonna start testing crazy early this cycle.
Berdc- you are fine. Try not to worry. One little spot of pink is nothing. It was probably just from bd. you're body is much more sensitive during pregnancy.

 

[BERDC99]

Is everyone ready for Christmas? I am ready for it to be over cause my ultrasound is two days after.

 

[mailcmm]

I am ready!! Lol I am also ready for your us. My first appt is tomorrow.

 

[mailcmm]

Moter... You are always in pursuit of knowledge.... Lol so I asked on the test forum if 7dpo was too early and if it could be twins? Someone said I had to have od earlier that it was impossible to implant before 6 days. Any thoughts?
