Dwrgi,omg that's so exciting ,hope everything goes well,ha and chris ,keeping everything fixed for u both,
HA sweetie it's normal to have lower numbers earlier on, honestly try to keep calm and wait untill Wednesday. I know it is easier said than done but I have asked this to a good few drs and nurses and they all said HSG can start rising rapidly. Even if not rapid, as long as it rises you are still pregnant. Are you on progestrones? BB asprin, or steroids at all? Please mention it to your dr and see what they say about it since you had 2 mc's and these meds are tried on women who had number of mcs, proved that they helped. I remember also having a full blood count along with my first HCG but not sure what parameters the dr checked to prescribe me with further blood thinners.

OMM many many hugs to you. I hope that brownish stuff doesn't mean AF.. This whole TTc business is so damn nerve wrecking. I wish I knew what else to say. You are on my mind.
Dwrgi Good lord you seem to be doing much better than your dr suggested before tx. I am so hopeful for you. Grow follies grow and become beautiful mature juicy eggs. I hope your DH's spermies would match your eggs and you would have at least 4-5 good blastos. Not a minute later for that trigger is correct actually. A minute wouldn't be a big deal mb but you have to be precise. By the way did they ask yesterday for DH to clear his pipes? He's supose to get all the old spermies out before the collection so you have a fresh sample. It has to be 2-3 days before so better check with your nurse...
well, the numbers are in...
today is 13 dpiui. My hCG is 24, and my P4 is 8. Both are on the very low end of normal.
My nurse said repeatedly to just see what Wednesday brings, reminding me that it's still very early, and repeating several times that all that matters is the rate of increase, not today's numbers.... She said to keep my progesterone suppositories at the current dose, drink lots of fluids, etc.
I really hate the waiting....
Honey is the P4 your progesterone? If it is that is too low, it has to be above 10 in order to support a pg, and it should be above 15 on a medicated cycle. Your already on the supositories, it should be a lot higher than that!!!!
I am praying for your little sticky bean honey!!!!
Yes, and I know. I really don't think this is going to stick.
Im so sorry honey, i really hate to say this but i dont think it will stick either, you had a positive test 4 days ago right, the hcg should be way higher than 24. I will keep praying, because miracles do happen. Love you honey, please dont give up, this can and will work for both of us!!
No, my first positive test was just yesterday.
Well ladies i am pretty sure i am out, i just went to the bathroom and had some dark brown when i wipe so i guess it was just the tests being stupid, dang!!!
It's not over till the evil w(b)itch sings so hang on in there Chris!! Dark brown could be implantation blood. Wait and see what happens! Good luck hun, and WILL that bean to stick!
Let us know what's going on!
Well done Macwooly on your weight loss-that's absolutely AMAZING!! I am so proud of you, and this will so help you with your quest for a baby! Go go girl!!
The FS, Amanda, rang tonight and egg collection is Wednesday morning. Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh! Trigger is tonight at 10.45 pm and not a minute later (well, she didn't say that but I'm hamming up the drama!!!). She is delighted with the follies and the womb lining as she reckons there are 8 follicles that will be potential contenders. I just hope now that they get good eggs that will fertilize properly!
How on earth am I now going to sleep??????!!!! OMG!
Andrea, if you're there, I'm thinking of you hun.
Lots of love to you all,

Yeah - because of the previous losses I've been on progesterone, baby aspirin and extra folic acid for a year now (in addition to my prenatal vitamin). My nurse confirmed I should continue with all that.
I think it would be easier to be optimistic if I had just the spotting or just the low numbers, but both together paints a pretty bleak picture. I'm really trying hard to just think neutral until Wednesday. That's a lot easier said than done, though.
And Dwrgi, I am so excited for you - 8 is amazing news! As for sleep, try some warm milk tonight instead of cold!
Chris ,still hoping for u Hun,and please stop sticking the loo roll up your vayjay,y are we all so obsessed with doing that stuff ?lol

Honey please forgive me!!!! In my error of thinking you had tested a while ago, i did not support you. Dont worry about the number, heck it has to start somewhere right!!! I know many women that had their first beta come out at 9 and had spotting and have beautiful healthy babies. As long as its spotting and not heavy bleeding your ok, spotting is common in the begining of a pregnancy!!!! Love you honey and i feel so bad for not being more positive and supportive!!!

Oh honey, there's nothing to forgive - you didn't say anything I wasn't already thinking myself. I know everyone on here has the best intentions and wishes for each other. And if it had been 4 days since my first test, I would have said the same thing you did and appreciated the candor.
Even if this pregnancy was off to a picture-perfect start I'd still have a hard time accepting it, given my history. That's just the crappy hand I've been dealt. The fact that it's off to an inauspicious start is oddly comforting, which I know sounds crazy - it just matches my expectations in a weird way. I want to be excited, and I know one day I will be - either with this pregnancy or another. And I know I say I'm trying to stay neutral until Wednesday's numbers, but who am I kidding? The last 48 hours have been such a roller coaster I really don't know which way is up. I just hope Wednesday shows something definitive, whether that's good or bad - I don't want to have to hang on to uncertainty for a week or two.
Thank God I have a counseling appt first thing tomorrow morning!
And as for sticking tp way up your hoo-ha? <raises hand> GUILTY HERE! and when that's not satisfactory, I just stick my finger up there to sweep my cervix, as if it might have somehow disappeared in the hour since I did it last and I need to see if it's still there!
