Twinminator- Are you using fmu? Try using smu, iv always had better lines with smu or even later in the afternoon.

I love reading through this thread, all these babies are so loved and wanted it makes me
Is any one else really emotional? iv cried 3 times today xx

 

[heart tree]

Pinky, I can't stop crying. My husband was joking around last night about wanting to see a bump and I started crying and got mad at him! I told him that was too much pressure and he shouldn't joke around since I've had mc's before I had a bump in the past. He tried to tell me he was joking and he meant it with love, but I was already bawling! I also cried at a movie where a horse died. Normally I would think this was sad, but I cried for 10 minutes or so. That was a little excessive!

 

[africaqueen]

Omg Heart tree- i am the same! VERY overly emotional at the moment!
I watched the season finale of desperate housewives the other day and cried virtually right through it!! esp the ending! i seem to be going waaaay over the top. I get teary when i see new babies in the shops etc too... haha xxx

AQ - I constantly look online at all the baby stuff too. I am keeping myself from buying anything until after the first trimester at least. But I do plan on finding out the sex of my baby as well, so as soon as I know, I am sure I will go crazy with the shopping!! It's so much fun shopping for babies

Hi guys just had my blood results back and they have gone up by 67% the midwife said they were looking for them to go up by 60% but when i called i said so thats ok then is it and she said well they havent doubled i thought cheers love make me feel like shit now they said they were looking for 60% they got it whats the problem?? i also said monday i had bloods done at 1pm monday and 8am today and she said those hours wouldnt have made a difference

 

[Nixilix]

I still have that weird ache on the side I ovulated (i know what side as I only have one ovary) anyone else still feeling that ache stitch type niggle xx

[natty1985]

well thats what i thought ,, i read hormone levels double every 48-72 hours am i correct ? x

 

[Rosie123]

That's what I think as well xx

 

[msarkozi]

Natty - I read the same thing. Are you getting your levels checked again? If they are increasing, then I would think everything is ok. It would be if they aren't increasing that I would be worried. Hang in there, I am sure everything is going good

 

[heart tree]

Natty, I don't understand. Why would they say 60% then say 67% isn't enough. I'm really confused. Is there anyone you can talk to about this? And I would think the 5 hours would make a difference too.

My friend in another thread had early bloods taken and they are making her wait 3 days to go for the second round to see if they've doubled. You didn't wait that long, so how could they go up that much?

 

[africaqueen]

Rach- Yes still have that ovary pain. Its the corpus luteum cyst that causes it. Thats what the nurse told me yesterday ;-)

Welcome rosie and congrats!

Natty- that nurse is being a arse. Some of them have the worst bedside manner!! Your numbers have risen just fine and are more than 60% so its all good.

xxx

 

[Shrimpy]

Yeah Natty you're right. I would just ignore that midwife. If they said 60% you're over that so I don't know why she's being a moo about it. Some peoples HCG doubles in a different time frame, 48 hours is just the begining of the range. Silly woman! Did she book you in for another scan?

Congrats to the newbies

 

[pinkycat]

Glad its not just me crying at everything.
Natty i thought it was 48-72 aswell, i also thought that when it gets over 2000 or something it rises slower xx

 

[natty1985]

I think staff nurse yvonne was having a bad day !! her words were this morning were looking for a rise of 60% if that happens we will scan next tuesday and its an indication things are ok then when she rang she said they have gone up 67% i said so thats ok then is it ?? she said well they havent doubled ... i mentioned the 5 hours and she said it wouldnt make the difference x i thought it would to be honest and if it is the case they double every 48-72 hours then i feel ok as a 67% increase in less than 48 hours is good to me xx

 

[Aunty E]

What a cow that nurse was. Sigh. I cry at everything too, I started snivelling because 'Beautiful' came on the radio. LAME.

 

[Shrimpy]

You are well within the range so I would try (as hard as it is) to ignore the mini hitler who you spoke to today:

Week since last menstrual period began Amount of hCG in mIU/ml

3 5 - 50 (less than 5 means you are not pregnant)

4 5 - 426

5 19 - 7,340

6 1,080 - 56,500

7-8 7,650 - 229,000

9-12* 25,700 - 288,000

 

[natty1985]

Pinkycat i also read it rises slower after 2000. Shrimpy they have booked me for a scan next Tuesday at 10am to hopefully see something more in the sac. i mean it wasnt even bang on 48 hours it was like 43 hours i dunno if im just clutching at straws x
