how long did it take for your hormones to show negative

[tootyfruity]

Thanks wantomoveon. Back in the normals days lol!!! I know that feeling.
I don't Ind if I'm not ovulating I just like the fact I had a really light one as hcg isn't strong enough to give a strong line, it has cheered me up a bit anyway.

How are you doing???

Hey ladies

funny bunch we are lol I'm so happy to see soo many low hcg numbers, I had my blood taken this morning, so should have the number this afternoon.

Leahlou and slg .. funny ladies, I figure that my OH should suffer right along with me!! lol and to be honest I have a very high sex drive and I think he's actually enjoying the rest hahahaha he's also really afraid to get me pregnant again since we've been very fortunate in that area, so I've got an apt with my family doc tomorrow, may start bcp for a few months just to be sure. Since they told me if I got pregnant before the minimum 3 months, they would have to terminate, and I don't want to have to do that.

Haha it's a good time

Levels at 7!

Awesome news!! weeee

 

[Petzy]

Well given my number of 19 yesterday I have starting OPKs today.. the line is about 6/10 on the darkness scale if 10 was a positive test. So we will see what the next several days bring - I wonder if it will get lighter first and then darker, or if I am on my way to O soon. We will see!

 

[LeahLou]

Yay!! So glad to see so many positive (well.. Negative) outcomes!!

 

[Petzy]

Yay!! So glad to see so many positive (well.. Negative) outcomes!!

Lol I know eh? too funny...... Hey if we are laughing at it, we are doing something right

 

[klsltsp]

So I got my results, I am at 184, not bad I was at 343 last week, so I'll take it! Like you said funny how we want low numbers... in a few months we'll all be hoping for the numbers to be going up!!!

 

[klsltsp]

So I just did some quick calculations, and well if my levels keep dropping at this rate (a little less than 50% per week) then Christmas Day I should be under 5... a total of 8 weeks... which is in the timeline that my doctor gave me, he said 6 - 11 weeks is the average time for the numbers to drop, and since my numbers were fairly low (started at 1400) I should be closer to the 6 week end. So today is 2 weeks... yikes that means christmas is 6 weeks away!!! LOL

 

[LeahLou]

I'm glad we can all have humor

Yay for more low numbers!!
I've been exhausted and nauseous today... What is going on with me?!? It's my baby's 2nd birthday today so I'm trying to keep up with her!

 

[slg76]

tooty, I'm not sure if I already told you this but I read somewhere that OPKs detect HCG at a level of 40.

Kim: I'm so happy there is an end in sight for you now. 6 weeks till christmas! Yikes! No wonder my mom has been on my case to commit to a visit or not for the holiday.

Leah: Hope you feel better soon. There is a nasty flu going around where I live. I think half my friends and their kids are puking. Yuck!

We just aren't ever totally happy with an HCG level, huh? We say lower, lower, lower and as soon as it gets lower we say higher, higher, higher

Hi ladies, thanks for your replies, I didnt get any notifications of any replies!
I have been reading your posts and wish to say I hope you manage to get to the magic zero very soon. xxx
I am still the same, no cramping and now no spotting, just waiting......
Thanks yet again )

 

[slg76]

I talked to a friend today who I knew had a mc but I didn't know any of the details. Turns out her baby stopped growing just before 6 weeks and she didn't pass it until 12 weeks. I told her she was more patient than me!!! I had enough after 3 weeks of waiting. I hope yours resolves quickly battyatty!

 

[Wanttomoveon]

Thanks wantomoveon. Back in the normals days lol!!! I know that feeling.
I don't Ind if I'm not ovulating I just like the fact I had a really light one as hcg isn't strong enough to give a strong line, it has cheered me up a bit anyway.

How are you doing???

Hey, thanks for asking. Well, okay I guess. Getting that reading - again - on Friday. Feeling better emotionally this week. I just started spotting as if my period is about to start, but it's not yet. I did already have one heavy period a few weeks after the miscarriage seemingly completed, and I wish this one would start normally.

The one time we're so happy to have our periods!

I did finally set up an appointment with a new doctor, who unfortunately is almost 2 hours away (the best I could do in this crap town in the middle of nowhere). My "specialist" who lives even further away, who I saw to figure out if there was an issue after my second mc, wants me to see her b/c of how weird this has been. That's next week, which kind of makes me feel better having that on the horizon, especially if this week's reading plateaus for some crazy reason. However, snow and freezing temps forecasted at the same time, so who knows if I'll keep it!

How are you doing? Remind me of where you're at now - are you content that your hcg is in a good place and looking at ovulation tests to start trying again, or are you still looking for confirmation that the hcg is negative?

Hey, glad you are feeling better in yourself, and this af will hopefully lower you numbers (fingers crossed) if u want to try and get it started u could try having a really hot bath with a handful of salt in and stay in for as long as you can. I read this somewhere and it worked when I tried it!

Hopefully you will get some answers if you make it to your appointment, and Good luck for your appointment tomorrow!

I haven't had any more blood tests. I called epu this week and they said to leave other another week because ive had heavy and painful bleeding it might take a bit longer for levels to drop, so I have to call if I get more positive pregnancy tests after next week.
I would like to know what the hcg is at now and ideally would like to see it back to 0 before we start trying (although we haven't been careful) I'm not sure if I've ovulated it feels like my body is trying to lol. My last 2 episodes of bleeding have been about 30 days apart so I hope to get another in the next week, it will make me feel that my body is trying to get back to normal.

tooty, I'm not sure if I already told you this but I read somewhere that OPKs detect HCG at a level of 40.

I didn't know this, so as my last hcg was 38 it must be detecting some sort of ovulation yay! I don't even mind if it's not proper ovulation, it just indicates I'm near the end. Thank you for letting me know.

 

[LeahLou]

Alright ladies, I need my line spotters!!

Finally got my negative wondfo Tuesday. Monday my level was at 7. It dried with a slight evap.
I feel so off so I did another with FMU today and I see something?!


It's more obvious in person. Could it just be fluctuation or are my levels going back up?!

 

[slg76]

Leah: hmmmm, I'm not sure. I do see a line on the bottom test. Waiting is the worst! Can't wait to see another test in a few days.

 

[klsltsp]

Leah i think there is a line there... what that means... who knows!!! I wish that there was a text book for our bodies to follow!!!

Tootie hopefully that bleeding helped to get your levels down faster. My doc said getting my period would help to lower my. numbers faster!

Wanttomoveon glad you got a nee doc. even though its far away hopefully this doc can help you figure things out!

 

[LeahLou]

Ill wait till the weekend to test again. But when I finally get a negative, my test shows a line ?! Ugh.

 

[tootyfruity]

Leah I see a slight line on the bottom one, this is so frustrating. I got 2 negatives then I've been getting really faint positive since. For me I think it's that it's so low that sometimes the test will pick other up and sometimes other doesn't. Another few days should give u some answers.
