Hi Natty,

At 17 dpo my beta/HCG was 356. Forty-eight hours later, at 19 dpo, it was 842. So it more than doubled, which is what they are checking for. So good news! :happydance::happydance:
 
wow rottpaw thats fantastic mine were shite they only increased 67% xx
 
msarkozi- my cm is so watery and plentiful when im preg i have to always wear a pantiliner. i feel like i have peed my pants if i dont. in fact when my water broke with my last son it took me a while to realize it cuz i really thought it was just cm.

that being said, i still think if it worries u then u should demand someone test u. it only involves going in and they have you wipe a strip across yourself and they dip it in some stuff that changes color if its amniotic fluid. dont feel bad if your wrong, u have a right to know.

my water broke with my first at six months while having sex! i told my dr which was hard enough to tell her and she laughed and said i doubt that and told me i could go to the hospital and have it checked but i would be wasting a lot of peoples time cuz i would have contractions if it had broke. i felt stupid and didnt go but when i went into labor early she tried to break my water and got mad cuz i didnt tell her my water had broke that morning. i told her it hadnt and she didnt believe me. i guess she had forgot about before. anyways i had a really bad infection, im assuming from my water being broke for 2 mos and my daughter was very sick too.

Thanks Blessed Momma! I actually have been feeling sort of guilty that my clinic is so great. :blush: I feel badly that others have to wait forever for results (or it must feel like forever!) I know a lot of members here are in the UK where it sounds like it's much harder to get results back quickly, etc. On the beta tests, my clinic turns same day results. So I am forever thankful for that!

My 6 week scan will be Tuesday the 20th. So just a little over a week! YAY!

:hugs:

barbiebaby- i have one hook in each eye, so i guess girl???

oh and i am having cramps at night and starting to feel sick around dinner time. doesnt matter what my oh is cooking, he usually cooks dinner, it smells stinky and strong and after i eat i feel yucky.

had morning sickness with my girls from morning to about 1 in afternoon. all day long with my boys, so really weird to be having it at night. like they say though each pg is as unique as each baby.

Blessed - my nausea also begins/ occurs at night and makes me feel bleh after dinner. So far I have discovered at least one meal that "works" and seems to make me able to tolerate my prenatal and sleep a few hours before I awake again feeling sick. That's grilled chicken (only olive oil, salt and pepper) and oven roasted potatoes (again, olive oil, salt and pepper). It's bland, but filling, nutritious and stays down, LOL!

:thumbup:
 
I think I might be having a boy but I really don't have a preference. Will find out at 20 week scan though if we can. x
 
Blessed - thanks so much for that. It gives me hope that it really isn't amniotic fluid. I am going to see what my results are for the HCG levels, and when I see my doctor on Wednesday, I will be asking about an amniotic test for sure. I have to do blood work for the next week to make sure my levels are still increasing, so I pray that they are!
 
Hi everyone, I've only posted once in this thread so most of you probably don't remember me. Anyway popping back in to say hello and hope everyone is doing well..i read back a few pages and saw one lady Tanya? I'm sorry for your loss honey...its a difficult time, my thoughts are with you.:hugs:

Honey - twins? wow your so lucky!:happydance:

Lilo - Ive been a member of b&b since Feb this year and you are the first Irish person I've met!! Nice to see you here. It really is a great site.Are you from the top middle or bottom?

AFM - Well symptom's are back as i got a dip around 6w and it scared the bejesus out of me! Boobs are swollen, still Constipated, bloating is unbelievable in the afternoon and the sickly feeling is more intense than ever. Hopefully all good signs. Laters.

Oh I'm due march 1st and i don't have any bump buddies.... anyone????? :blush:

Thanks Natty! Don't worry though about yours. I read just yesterday (while I was busy obsessing over it LOL!) that they look for a double every 48-72 hours. So because they really only expect it to finally double by the third day, a reading of 66% increase after 2 days is perfectly normal. No worries!!!! :hugs::hugs:
 
Natty that is not shit, they dont tend to look for doubled in 48 hours any more as rottpaw says it is within 72, I read it is 60% in 48 hours, so you are over that which is great :thumbup:
 
rottpaw- thanks for the dinner info. i will def try that tonight. it actually sounds good to me.
 
We have almost as many posts as Feburary Lovebugs ..... and we are a whole month behind them :shock:
 
Lol readynwilling, we chat a lot :)

Welcome and congrats Sharon
 
So sorry Tanya :hugs: I pray you get your sticky bean soon!!

Welcome Sharon, congratulations!! :happydance:

As for all of you other tarts, pimping yourselves out for more than 2 bump buddies .... shame on you! tsk tsk Ok, Ok I'm just jealous and feeling left out :cry:

Msarkozi - I'm sorry but can't remember now when you said you were getting another scan, but there's a test you can do at home to see if it's amniotic fluid. You'll need to buy some litmus paper. I'm pretty sure you can buy it online fairly cheaply. Put a cotton bud where the wetness is and then dab it on the litmus paper. If the litmus paper changes colour it is amniotic fluid. If not then it's just natural secretions (man I love that word!!). keeping everything crossed for you!!
