November Rainbow Babies

[myvirgoways]

Agreed!! Me thinks everything is gonna be fine for both of us. It will give me an even bigger confidance boost after i get my numbers from my last hcg blood test this friday! As long as i'm over 1500 then it's all good!

Yep, I feel the same. My 15DPO hcg was 148 (within normal range) and tomorrow I will get my 17DPO hcg levels and am hoping for 250-300!! Then I will feel a little better too because then I will know things are going in the right direction. I feel good about this though!

Did u have ur hcg checked out the first time? I had complications from the start and at 15DPO i was only at 90 and time time it's 229! So that also is a relief.

148 is an excellent number and smack dab in the normal hcg levels!

Last time I all of a sudden thought something was wrong b/c the soreness in my boobs went away. I took another test and the line was getting fainter. So I called for a blood test. I think that was 17DPO and it came back at 36. Then 19DPO it came back at 22. So at 15DPO and 148, I'm already higher than what I was 17DPO last time, but I think my numbers had already fallen by the time I got the blood test last time.

Your numbers look in the higher end of normal which is fantastic! I never got a positive ovulation test this past month, so I'm not positive when I ovulated, but guessed it to be Monday, Feb. 19 based on cervical mucus. We BD on Saturday, Feb. 17. It was a busy stressful month and that was the only time we BD that entire month! I'm thinking I could have not ovulated until Feb. 20, which would make my hcg numbers even better, but I really can't determine because I didn't devote the normal effort to tracking my cycle this past month. Dang! I can't even remember for sure when I started my period, but know it was around Feb. 6-8!

I ovulated on CD18, which was on Feb 20th. My boobs were sore and heavy last time from 9DPO onward, until around 8 weeks when baby passed. I don't have any soreness now. Boobs do feel a bit heavier today, but I think being so early is making me freak out because I WANT SYMPTOMS! All I know about my hcg is that last time at 6+4 my levels were 10,166, and they said that was a good number (normal)

I've just taken another test girls and it was negative xx

 

[jessy1101]

Virgo for sure ur numbers are great compared to last time!! I had my AF on feb 1st and O date was feb 15. I had implantation bleeding at 8dpo straight threw till 10dpo then it all stopped.

No I've not had any bleeding.. And the first one was a clear blue digital. Just done a boots one an it's negative and my symptoms are easing xx

 

[BabyDust20]

And there is no point going to the dr they won't do anything :/ x

 

[jessy1101]

I'm so sorry sweety u deserve to have a beany. Do u think maybe a chemical?

 

[Dahlia2007]

Babydust, well clear blue digi are supposed to be reliable. I would take another test using a different brand than the one you got from boots, or try another digi. Because the cheap tests don't detect small amount of hcg, and yours just may be in a lower area right now. I hope it all works out for you.. you're in my thoughts.

Here is a chart, and as you can see at 4 weeks the hcg can be as little as 5 mIU, your digi may have caught the 20 or 25 mUI that you have ,but a cheap test wouldn't be able to pick that up

3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml

I would try another test. Try a first response or answer. Those have been pretty good for me!

 

[BabyDust20]

I'm not being funny but I don't think asking me if I think it's a chemical was the right thing to say..

Dahlia I'm going to do another clear blue digi on Monday hun.. That's if I don't get any bleeding before then.. Fx if the clear blue digi still comes up positive I'm going to ask at my dr if they will do bloods.. But I doubt they will. The midwIfe won't even see me til 8 weeks! Xx

 

[BabyDust20]

Panic over! There is a line! Albeit a faint one! Phew. That was a scary moment to say the least!!!! Xx

 

[Dahlia2007]

Thank God! We're just early ya know? A lot of people are just finding out they're pregnant at this point

Babydust I agree you should try a different test

Hello ladies I found out I was pregnant in October last year, then started spotting and cramping at 9w, had a scan which confirmed no heartbeat. I started miscarrying the day after naturally, so we didn't have to wait for anything and could start trying again straight away.
Then last Tuesday at 11dpo I took a test not expecting anything, and 2 lines popped up!
Hubby and I are over the moon, but there is none of the giddiness or pure excitement that we had first time round I feel like I'm trying to not let myself get too attached so I won't fall apart like I did last time if it all goes wrong again. Is that normal? I know everyone pal will worry more than someone not having gone through a mc, but how do you all feel?

Feels good to get it all out! I'm due 9th November xx

 

[BabyDust20]

I hate feeling so worried and nervous all the time!! Can't wait tO get to 5 weeks. Then got a private scan at 7+2 fx I get there! Xx

 

[auntylolo]

Where are you going for your scan? Have you got it booked already and did you get the day you wanted? I really want one, but I'm wary of tempting fate, on the other hand I don't want to call up and be told there's no appts for 4 weeks!

I know what you mean about trying not to get attached. Its almost as if I'm trying to Forget that I'm pregnant to be honest! I still havent told OH yet either. I just want to 5 weeks before I tell him as we never got to 5 weeks last time.. You might think I'm wrong for not telling him but he was so heartbroken last time and jus in case anything happens I dont want to see him like that again.. I supposed it's just me trying to protect him in my own deluded way lol xx

Hun, I do think you're wrong for not telling him, but not for the reasons you may think. What if, god forbid, you miscarry again? It's too much to go through alone. I really think you shoulder consider telling him

Anyway, how far along are you? I'm guessing you found out pretty early? I found out last Tuesday (28th) but I'm still not even 5 weeks yet! I was over the moon that my cycles shortened after the mc, but the last time I got my bfp I was like 4w4d, so I was already a week ahead!

 

[BabyDust20]

My mum in law knows so its not like I'm on my own. Like I said people may think me wrong but at the end I the day I'm doing what I feel is right for me

I'm 4+2 weekS.. I found out on Monday, I wouldn't really say I found out early.. I didn't test early, was 3/4 days late when I tested. Then again what isn't early for me might be early for everyone else as I have quite short cycles. Just want the next 8 weeks to come and go without a problem to be honest! Xx
