[moter98]

great news! update with the pic and how your appt goes.

i'm gonna start testing monday i think. i'll only be 7dpo, but i have a ton of IC's to use, so why not

 

[xxshellsxx]

Morning ladies

i've made it to 10DPO without spotting (so far) lol I've been at 10dpo before but never got any further and with last cycle only being 9DPO when spotting showed up i'm a happy bunny lol

tested this AM... BFN of course. I must invest in IC's for next cycle should there be one lol x

 

[moter98]

That's great news! Well except for the bfn.but it's early yet

xx

 

[moter98]

CD24/23.... 11DPO and still in!

This is great news, but now i'm getting very nervous.... is it just extended LP or has a miracle happened i've never been in a position of being 'late' ever so now i know how everyone else feels lol

xx

 

[moter98]

That is such great news! Have you tested?

 

[xxshellsxx]

That's really great news! I asked myself the SAME exact question. I said the same thing to DH and he was like, so if you're late.. take a test! Duh. He doesn't understand! I was trying to explain to him that I wasn't sure if I was actually "late" or not. If the b6 worked and the LP was lengthened, then I wouldn't actually be late, and I didn't wanna look like an idiot getting all excited, when I knew this would be the outcome of taking the supplement. But I set my fear of a bfn aside, and got that bfp. So, you never know.. Go for it hun! And be sure to remember, even if it is a bfn (which of course would be a big fat bummer) there's one thing to be happy about. You have succeeded in lengthening your LP!

As for me, I went to my appt and obviously, they told me I would be too early to see anything. I asked about my beta and progesterone levels. They took my blood and told me it will take 2 weeks to get the results back? I thought the whole point of hcg testing was to come back and make sure they are doubling every 2 days.. not 2 weeks. And about the progesterone, she said she will run the progesterone, just for the hell of it, but they will not give me supplements either way, so its pointless. I had the run the blood anyways. She said if my levels for progesterone come back low, they will not give me anything, and I have to lose 3 babies before they will do anything for supplementing me with progesterone? Does this sound right to anything? So she pretty much told me, if my levels are low, I will miscarry inevitably, and she will do nothing to prevent it or at least TRY to prevent it and to come back when I have had 3 consecutive miscarriages. Then she will talk to me about progesterone supplement?

On a lighter note, I have posted a new pic for you ladies. Super super dark. This was taken last Friday.

Moter- How is everything looking for you? You will start testing tomorrow? Yay.. I love when someone tells me they are starting to test! I'm so excited for you!!!

Some drs believe that low profesterone is not the cause of a m/c, but rather the result of a m/c and wont supplement with progesterone. I was told the same thing you were. Come back after 3 losses. My dr said that two losses are so common and that 65% of the time the next pregnancy is viable. Your line is looking dark now! I love it!!

I tested today already. So stupid I know. I'm only 6dpo. Just using IC's so I can test away till I see that second line. I have banished AF for the next 9 months so I'm just waiting on that line now.

 

[fpcco08]

It just really stinks. When I told her I thought I had a problem with progesterone, she asked me why I would think that and I told her I had been charting and realized one month I had a 4 day LP and the next 9 days. She said it would really do no good to test the progesterone, but she would do it if it would make me happy. She told me even if the LPD means I have a problem with progesterone, doesn't mean it affects the pregnancy. She said progesterone when you're not pregnant is different than when you're pregnant. She said just because my body doesn't produce enough pre-pregnancy, doesn't mean it won't during pregnancy. In other words, the pregnancy will MAKE my body produce an efficient amount. I feel like that is horse crap, but that's just me. My boss at work has struggled with the same situation. Telling her to come back after 3 losses, and she did suffer 3 in the end. She said she advises me to not have them notify me what my levels are, because if they come back low, I will be miserable, and will really over-analyze everything and will know that I'm just sitting back, awaiting the inevitable. I kinda think I agree. I think I would rather not know. What do you think? Would you want the levels, or not want to know?

I'm trying to convince myself that since the line is getting darker, nothing is wrong as of yet, but I'm pretty sure this isn't always the case. You can still keep producing hcg even if the pregnancy isn't viable, right? My last pregnancy was a missed miscarriage. The drs said the placenta and everything was still growing along with the pregnancy, only the baby wasn't. So, I'm assuming it continued to produce hcg as well.

I'm sorry about the bfn but its still early hun. Your temps still look good, as they would because you don't have a LP anywhere near 6. But still looking good otherwise. Sorry for the long rant. Just trying to get some answers and find some reassurance. I really need to quit being a worry wart and over analyzing everything

 

[moter98]

I think the dr is right. You want your lp lengthened so implantation can take place. After that the pregnancy will increase your progesterone. And you are taking the b6 which has helped your progesterone levels. Try not to worry. I would want my result, but that's just me. I'm a numbers person and would just have to know. But really, your hcg levels will bes good indicator. If they are doubling it's a viable pregnancy. Are they doing a repeat beta to check doubling rate?

 

[fpcco08]

I'm not really sure about the repeat for hcg. She just told me it will take 2 weeks to get the results of both the progesterone and hcg. I don't know if they're going to see if they are doubling or just if its at an appropriate number for this time. She said something about wanting to see if they were where they should be. She didn't specifically mention coming back to see if they were doubling correctly. I personally don't see the point in two weeks, knowing that my hcg levels two weeks ago were where they needed to be. I want to know that they are presently ok. Because in 2 weeks, when I get those results, I'll be like.. ok they were at an appropriate level 2 weeks ago.. what about now? Then I will have to wait another 2 weeks to find out and repeat the cycle again lol Gahh I guess I am psycho!

And I did want to tell you, since you've banished AF for 9 months, and you will be getting that bfp this month.. Just wanted you to know beforehand that she did give me the ok to continue with the B complex 100 mg. She said it shouldn't hurt to stop, and definitely will not hurt to keep taking them, because they help with morning sickness anyways. So now you know when you get your bfp that if you don't feel comfortable stopping them, its ok to keep taking it. She said I did not have to ween myself off of them. I even asked if I should just lower the dose and she said 100 mg is just fine.

 

[moter98]

Great info! Thanks. It's good to know it helps with morning sickness.

Try not to worry about those results. You have dark hpts and no signs that anything is wrong. You actually are lucky your dr did those blood tests. I don't think mine would. They wouldn't even see me with ds until I was 13 weeks!!

 

[xxshellsxx]

fpcco - i hope everything comes back ok with your tests... 2 wks is a long time! I'm also a numbers person and would want to know what they were but i can understand why you might not want to x Hope everything is nice and sticky xx

well i've made it to 12DPO.... tested BFN this morning! It wasn't a full nights hold as i woke at 4am and HAD to pee, and as i didn't have any tests in i couldn't test... but held from 4am to 8.30am, hadn't drank anything, went to the shop and got pack of 2 tests... so will have one for tomorrow or maybe wednesday... if i get the chance to!

So either way something has changed with vitamin B complex Happy me

xx
