December 2017 Testers: Hopeful for Christmas and Year-end BFPs

[Bloblo]

Good morning ladies! Its Wednesday and I am just sending some baby dust and good thoughts to all of you!

Sorry for AF Tankel and Corgi.


Huge Congrats Mel Have a happy and healthy 9 mos.


Bebe - really hoping it's IB and those faint lines means something burrowing in. FX


Starlight - there's a huge range of HCG levels at 15dpo and every women is different. What's important is the doubling factor every 2 days or after 48 hours. Are you going to get another beta? For peace of mind, here's what i found and I used the same as basis before.

Blo - welcome to TWW.

Hi Can I join please,

Been trying conceive since we got married back in August.
Been using the clearblue digital ovulation kits no luck.

I’m quite impatient and tested on Saturday (2/12) frer big fat negative! Was quite gutted.

Tested yesterday 5/12 frer and it’s positive! Will post a picture when I work out how!
Had bloods taken yesterday and Ive got a consulatant appointment today to get blood thinners due to miscarriages in the past. At the moment I’m only on aspirin

Congratulations everyone!!!

So sorry for AF Tankel and Motherofcorgi!

A huge congrats to mel28nicole and Picksbaby!

AFM, took my last clomid pill today and now I'm waiting to start peeing on OPKs. Feeling a bit down as my not destined due date gets nearer. I would be 34 weeks today...

Sorry about your loss Katy it must have been so hard. FX for your rainbow baby this cycle.

Oh no... So sorry for AF How long is your average cycle? Maybe you're still in for this month's testing. Hope AF isn't cruel to you.

 

[Kaymumof2]

Usually around 32 days. This was onky 28 day cycle. I looked back over my cycles for the whole year and I have never had a cycle under 31 days! I do now have a uti so maybe that triggered an early af? No idea. Just going bd as much as poss this cycle and cover all bases

 

[mdscpa]

How do you monitor Ovulation? FX this cycle.

 

[Picksbaby]

Had my blood results back 53. Back again tomorrow for a re take don’t feel to positive about this

How many dpo are you? FX tom's beta is great. FX

 

[Kaymumof2]

I use 2 diff opks. Clearblue and ic. Got a blazing pos on cd14 and continued to monitor ov after that but no other positives so was definitely when I got the pos on both test on cd14. Thank you

 

[Picksbaby]

I’m not 100% sure on ovulate day. I use the clearblue ovulation tests the
One that do a blinky and peak/high face. I got my peak/high face on Friday 23rd November I think your due to ovulate 24/48 hours later.

How many dpo would that make me?

I haven’t mentioned anything to my husband I don’t want to worry him. He’s got so much stress with work at the moment and he took all our miscarriages so badly before. I just want to know everything’s okay first

 

[Picksbaby]

Sorry Friday the 24th!

I think I was 9dpo when I had my bloods taken - 53 is that good or bad? I’m not due af till Monday 11th December

 

[Starlight32]

Md- no I'm not getting any other blood work done. I asked my GP to confirm with blood test but see my ob in 2 weeks. I would like another for reassurance now but I don't think my GP would order that.

If you oed a day after +opk then most likely you have 12-14 days LP which is normal. I would add temping if you are able to next cycle to see if you really o'ed after the LH surge. Some women get a surge but not really ovulate. Temping will confirm O occurred.

I used the same with my first. I got a peak reading 2 nights before a temp drop/ovulation. It's like 36hours before the temp drop. Let's say you o'ed 36hours after the peak reading I would say you are 11-12dpo today. You mentioned you took the test yesterday that's makes you at 10dpo and your beta is fine. Please see image below.

I think your GP will consider if you mention you need one for reassurance and see whether your #s are doubling. Let's pray they are and you get another one.

I know I shouldn’t worry it’s so hard to not over think. It’s all about seeing them numbers double. Thankfully I get another set taken tomorrow and the results back on Friday. I start medication today.

Looked back at my youngest daughter pregnancy I had bloods taken with a a result of 41 at 11dpo and she’s fine and healthy.

 

[mdscpa]

Everything will be fine, I understand your worries. I will be on the the same boat if I get pregnant again.
