March Rainbows 2016

[.hopeful.one.]

Hi, I got a surprise bfp on Sunday. I've had 4 MCs since November (mmc at 10+3 where bug stopped growing between 6 weeks and 7+4, chemical, and 2 pregnancies where hcg lingered for weeks but never really rose, though I had loads of symptoms, and nothing was seen on an ultrasound either time at 10+4 and 7+2 (I never had bloods drawn with the 10 week one but guessing the same thing happened as with the last one)
The last two pregnancies I've supposed to have been on a break to give my body some recovery time and work on some health issues but oops. We're delighted of course, nervous but still delighted.
I'm not sure exactly how far along I am as my cycles are still a bit all over with the MCs but I known Im cd32 today but I could be a bit less than 4 weeks.

Congratulations! Hopefully you have a sticky little rainbow on board

Hi camichelle! Congratulations on your BFP

Anything new with you eme?

Nothing to report here. I'll be taking my other digi tomorrow so Fx for 3+ please.

Things are still the same which is good news lol peeing so much lately haha how about you??

I've been having the hardest time staying awake throughout the day. Other than that just some sore boobs and some cramping off & on. I took another digi this morning and got my 3+! I think I finally feel ready to call the dr and let them know. Praying this skittle bug (our chosen bump name this pregnancy) sticks!

Yay for your 3+ Hopeful! I've never used those since I never make it that far!

First beta number at what is either 13 or 14dpo came back at 83. I think that's a decent number. It's the highest one I've had as a first beta and based on lmp was taken at exactly 4 weeks. Doc wants me to repeat on Friday morning.... Uggggg the waiting.

I've had sore boobs, some insomnia, a little nausea, sore throat, and some weird lower back/ovary area cramping that is freaking me out a bit.

With my DHs chromosomal issue we know that we only have roughly a 33% chance of having caught a healthy sperm but I figure after 6 losses I should beat those odds eventually!

I agree! Waiting is awful. Your symptoms sound good though, yay for a sticky bean. You better keep us posted

 

[Camichelle]

I will but feeling kinda bummed about frer progression. Not much change over last 3 days. 😕

 

[.hopeful.one.]

Try not to stress over it. Blood hcg is much more accurate.

Welcome and congrats!! Have you scheduled your 1st round of betas yet?

I don't think I'm going to bother with any betas this time. I found it way more stressful than beneficial last time.

 

[eme]

That's understandable, whatever helps you relax the most and enjoy the ride I think is what's important =) For me, I'm working with a fertility specialist so it's nothing but blood work blood work blood work haha I go in again in two days for a third draw to make sure my levels are progressing well enough for my first scan next week. I'll be released to my regular OB at 8 weeks.

Anyone else battling insomnia?? I've been having the WORST time sleeping these past few nights. Between that and no appetite I'm feeling all out of sorts!

 

[Camichelle]

Congrats NDH! Hope you have a sticky bean! I don't blame you on the betas... I just like to know if it's viable asap so I try not to get too attached/hopeful.

So glad you're feeling good about this pregnancy Eme! I have a feeling you're right!

AFM, I'm feeling much more positive today. Took my last frer this morning and test line was as dark as control! That's never happened for me. Also I'm having tons of symptoms. Bloating has subsided a bit but very sore boobs and queasiness. I'm having vivid dreams and am super tired too. I'm also having insomnia Eme. I seem to fall asleep ok but wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep.

I'm really hopeful we're going to get our rainbows. How is everyone doing today?

 

[eme]

Doin good...I have my 3rd blood draw tomorrow, nervous about that of course haha my boobs hurt so bad last night it was CRAZY!!!! I've NEVER hurt that bad or in that way before it was nuts! Im officially 5 weeks today, and my last ic I took, the test line was as dark as the control and I've never had that before either so I actually felt good enough to stop poas daily lol

 

[Camichelle]

More betas for me tomorrow too..... Here's hoping for nice high numbers for the both of us!

 

[eme]

Yes fingers crossed!! Will you find out the results today? They've been calling me by 12 noon the day of the past two rounds so I'm hoping thats as long as I'll have to wait today. I feel lile I've been holding my breath the last 2 weeks haha and I know that even if I get good numbers back today, im then going to be nervous about my ultrasound which is one week from today haha

 

[Camichelle]

Yes, my doc said it would be a rush order so I can find out today because I leave tomorrow on vacation for a week. I'm waiting for lab to open in 20 minutes! Lol I don't think I'll stop being nervous until I'm holding my rainbow. Good luck!!!

 

[eme]

Yeah, I dont think relaxing is going to happen haha although im doing better this time around than I expected!

 

[Camichelle]

I'm doing better too this time. This is the first time we've had a bfp since the diagnosis so I think that's what's keeping me calm is that I know there's nothing I can do about it. Also excited that for the first time ever my test line was darker than the control on a frer this morning!!!

 

[NDH]

Good luck today letting your results

 

[Camichelle]

Eeek!!!! My level rose from 83 on Monday to 774 this morning! Doubling time of 27 hours!!!!! So beyond happy! I know it's still early but we're over the first hurdle! Have an appt and scan on the 29th when I'll be 7 weeks 2 days!!!

 

[eme]

1102!! 1102!!!! Still doubling every 48hrs!!!!

 

[Camichelle]

Amazing news Eme!!!!!!

 

[.hopeful.one.]

I'm glad you two continue to get good news

I made my first appointment! I'll be going August 4th at 9w1d. I'm so excited already but it seems so far away!
