Hi everyone.. am feeling a bit blue, just got my results back from the hcg test, I am 4 weeks, 3 days and they are only 37 iu/l, which my gp was unable to interpret! I told him i pretty much thought that means not pregnant, even though my digi is still coming up 1-2 and the cheapie sticks I'm doing are getting progressively darker. He wants me to have another blood test tomorrow, but I'm due to have my intralipid IV then (for the NK cells) so I'm just so confused. I don't really want to put myself through 3 hours of a drip if I'm clearly losing this pregnancy.
Surely they should be higher than that? Be honest, I'm more than convinced this is over anyway, so I don't mind.
I'm waiting to hear back from my specialist, but I'm thinking if I stop the progrestrone supplements I will probably start to bleed, that's what happened last time, I only bled 2 days after coming off them.
I'm going to go back and catch up on the thread now.... hopefully you girls will cheer me up. Martin is at work and I haven't got the heart to call and tell him, he is going to be devastated.
I'm just fucked off really..... this can't even have anything to do with the nk cells, it's more to do with my bloody old eggs and i'm just so fed up with it..... I just want to give up now.
37 is TOTALLY pregnant! That's rubbish for him to not know!!! Anything over 5 is "borderline pregnant" and anything over 10 is "PREGNANT!!!" Rising is the main thing you're looking for! Don't you dare give up yet!
Back from scan! We have a lovely little wriggly baby in there!
YAY!
Very emotional and over the moon, it was so cute and so active it was amazing the difference between the last scan and this. Can't quite believe it. We've gone round and told all of my husbands family now which was amazing as apart from his parents none of them knew!
Will post a picture when I can scan it. Off to milton keynes now to see my parents xxxxx
P.S. I can't thank you all enough for your support so far. I know we've got ages to go yet but to get to this point alone is such an achievement and I couldn't have stayed sane without you.
I'm SO excited for you! I saw the pics in PAL and was quite
about it... but I refrained from commenting because I'm SO gutted for Jenny! I've known her about a year... and my heart is broken for her! I just wanted you to know I didn't snub you... I just couldn't bring myself to celebrate in there! I was sobbing already!
Anything above 15 is a positive pregnancy test. Its ok to feel sick and tired....We all know to well the feeling of uselesness and just being fed up! Dont feel bad for smoking, i did till my 7 week scan and my doc said its ok really.
Hang in there babes...
Actually, anything above 10!
Cant wait to hear your story hearty!! I didn't take my pic myself, i googled the name of the house, the train was going too fast to take photos. When i saw my sign, both times it was gone within 2 seconds - which is also why it makes it so unusual that i actually saw it. Cant wait to hear what the fs says too, i hope she's got some new ideas
I read for EPO it should be between 1500 - 3000 max too, i was on 2000mg so i am taking it to the limit now. I only have 2 months to meet the angels deadlines.
Im not really about the diamonds either, but now i have one, it sparkles so much that i stare at it for minutes at a time. I also make prisms with it.
On honeymoon in Brazil, my husband bought me a smoky quartz and got it set into a necklace for my birthday, its my most favourite non living thing in the world i think. Its like a bit of the 1970's in the 2010's. Ive posted a pic in the spirit of posting jewellery pics
Hoping - how long till you get your results? fx extremely tightly.
Can you post us some pics of your jewellery and pottery? Id love to see
My god... That diamond... *drool* Is it as big as it looks? I'm SO jealous!
they are very nice indeed! we get some really neat art from the natives here....I used to have a pair of moccasins (sp?) when I was younger and I loved them! They weren't the fake kind either, as they had the smell to them! Most people can't stand the smell, but I liked it, especially since they were the real deal
Those are really pretty!
I'm going away tomorrow to Mt Washington for the weekend for a girlfriends stagette! We just found out where we are staying, I am so excited!!

I have made them clickable links incase people don't want to see them, which I totally understand why.
Still over the moon!!!
I looked again! So cute! And, I nearly typed "He is so cute"... Maybe a sign?
AFM... I had my first blood draw this morning for the pre-IVF stuff and picked up/started taking my birth control this afternoon!
I just got off the phone with the pharmacy in Chicago that handles all my meds! My meds came to over $3000 or £1877. I'm $211.00 or £132.00!
I'll receive the whole kit tomorrow! I'm pretty sure this will require a photo!
Its Lupron, Follistim, Novarel, Z-Pak, a steroid (can't remember the name), and some others too I think... plus needles and everything! It'll be ridiculous... and daunting! I'll post pics and the packing slip tomorrow! I can't imagine how anyone pays for this without insurance!
I'll have a "fluid ultrasound" on Monday morning to map my uterus and tubes for future egg collection, Kevin's has blood work to do Monday morning as well... and we'll just go ahead and do our "calendar review" meeting after the bloods and u/s... Its where they sit us down and give us a color-coded calendar with all the steps and when they'll happen!
Thats awesome, cant wait to see the pics!
my temp went up .1 degree for my waking temp. I had a nap this afternoon and my temp went up to 98.7!!!! So I am hoping that when I wake in the morning it is still high. At least I'll know I ovulated but I KNOW I wont be lucky this month...any egg that spends 7 days trying to release after it was meant too is hardly going to be viable. Just hope that my period will have come and gone by my appointment on the 26th...doesnt give me long.
I called and left a message for my doc...
