Hi ladies!! Haven't been able to get on until now (it's after midnight.) Had a very long day starting with my nephews 6th birthday party, then it was my sister in laws wedding. Went in for my blood work again today and right before the ceremony, my results came back. I was so scared I was shaking and already started to cry. But AGAIN, my numbers have almost tripled!! So far so good! Can't wait for a dang ultra sound but I know I'm still at least a couple of weeks away from that!
Seaweed, I will be thinking of you and please update us all in the morning!
As far as POAS, even though I'm doing beta checks I've still been doing it! I guess my body doesn't metabolize HCG into my urine very well, there were a couple of days that the line didn't seem to be getting darker but in that time my hcg almost tripled so I'm not going to worry about POAS anymore.
Anyway, I'm beat so I gotta head to bed. Hope you are all doing well!
Why thinking of me, hon? Because of the test line not getting as much darker? Oh...I'm trying not to make too much of that, and it was a few days ago (the 4th). Haven't tested since then, and decided again not to test this morning. I drank a ton of water last night and got up twice at night to pee and drink more. Plus, I think if I test again it should be on a weekday morning when there's a possibility I could call the doctor right away if it doesn't look good -- if it were today I'd probably spend the whole day scared before calling tomorrow. Maybe I'll test tomorrow.
Ladies thanks for you the prayers and positive vibes yesterday got up this morning no staining today yet and its 5pm so far. just a wee bit of cramping. Still hav been taking it easy all day though. What u ladies think should i take tomorr off work and go see DR and c what he says? Any advice appreciated
I've been having definite PG symptoms but no bleeding or major cramping (knock on wood), so I'm trying to stay positive and not worry about the small possibility that something is wrong.
It's super reassuring to hear that your betas have been looking great but your HPTs haven't always gotten much darker. The bloodwork is really what counts, obviously! I'm so glad your numbers have been so good, what a great sign! Can't wait until all of us start having those ultrasounds
Mummygabby, so glad to hear things haven't gotten worse today. Sadly, having no experience firsthand, I have heard stories similar to what C said -- that early on the doctors won't always see you because they don't think there's anything they can do. Still, you may as well give them a call and see what they say. Maybe they'll agree to do a check and then you'll see that everything is fine and feel reassured! I hope so! I've definitely heard that you can get bleeding from the placenta attaching itself or growing, and since yours was brown it seems like it might just be that. Fingers crossed.
So sorry to hear about what you're going through, Gabby. I'm hopeful that nothing is wrong and they will be able to give you some reassuring info tomorrow. We're here for you.
I'll have to research some more but last time I looked there were some really good quality ones for very decent prices, I think around $100 if I remember correctly. Not that $100 is nothing, but for the peace of mind it definitely would be worth it!
