Alice, thank you. Yes I heard from the nurse. I'll update below. :)

Emmy, awe, I hope she enjoys pre-school! :) I think that FF is right and O is cd13. Yes, nikolina is right, perhaps a slow rise. I am like that myself. But don't think if it's not high that you necessarily haven't O'd because well, look at my chart... it is so wonky... I thought perhaps I didn't even O and well.. obviously I did or I wouldn't be pregnant. :p I have however had FF tell me I've O'd on the wrong day, like this last chart it said I ovulated on CD14, but it was really CD15, so I had to override it. Usually it's right though. I agree with nikolina, CTP gives super high cover lines!! so strange! But I hope we hear good things from you

nikolina, yes it did jump quite a bit, I'm hoping that's a good thing and I hope when I go for my blood draw today that today's is even higher, hopefully in the high 1000's, but preferably in the low 2000's if I did my math correctly again. Yup I'm taking those horse pills they call prenatals. lol. I hate them, huge pills. Well now I only have 1 frer left because I took one yesterday. But I'm saving the other one just incase... I'm praying I never have to use it because everything is going great. :) Can't wait to hear what your beta's are!! I'm sure really high with how dark your lines are! Maybe twins??? ;) Oh, I know how scared you are about your CP day, I'm sure the day will pass by uneventful because all is well with baby! <3

So, I heard from the nurse. She repeated that my levels were normal but "I understand you want to be put on progesterone?" I said yes, well with a history of mc and that I think personally that my levels are low, since they're supposed to be in the 20's or 30's I think it would be best." she goes, "well a little extra progesterone certainly won't hurt anything." So she wanted to put me on 25mg 2x a day. But after talking to some people about it they said that's really too low and they think they're just giving me the lowest dose to shut me up. Ugh!!! They said I should be on at least 100mg 2x a day if not 200mg 2x a day. So I guess I'm going to go fight them again. I'm so frustrated with this... I just want to be heard and I feel like I'm not being heard. :(

Hi Lovely ladies!

I got my results today, nurse rang me and said that doctor is very happy about my numbers, but i dont know.... sooo 13 dpo hgc- 281, and 15dpo hgc-523... so it didnt double in 48 hrs.... :( even tho doctor was happy about it, im lil bit worried.... soo i cave in and bought frer test, gona do in the morning, and hope to see a nice dark test line, and then i can start to get real excited :)

Lods of love

Nikolina

Nikolina, well, it may not have doubled but it's darn near close!! I think you're ok though. No stressing!! Are you going for another blood draw? Hopefully it is much higher the next time if you have one! When are they giving you an ultrasound? I have to wait till my levels are at 5,000 :(

I got my repeat levels back and they went up to 1,674. My doc said they're stil increasing nicely but if I add 645x3 (which is how many days passed between blood draws it should have been 1,935. I'm only a couple hundred off from that... but it still makes me nervous. I did that right, right? you add up your previous number that many times till the next day of your next blood draw? I know that makes no sense... but I don't really understand the whole 'doubling time' thing. Also, I was finally listened too and started my progesterone suppositories last night. Even though it's a low dose, it's still better than nothing! I'm praying it helps!

Hi there can I join this group? I too have iust suffered my second cp this one being 4 weeks and 3 days, ive been absolutely gutted about it, I dont think it matters how far gone you are you still feel devastated, you get your BFP and everything thing feeling great, your on top if the world, excited and cant wait for that 1st appointment where you get to see the little heartbeat blinking away on the screen and the all of a sudden that happiness is just ripped away from you and you just dont know what to do, my DH has been trying to make me smile but I just dont feel like it atm. I try to talk to him but he doesnt understand how it makes you feel as a woman, you question everything especially if it was your fault and like in my situ with endometriosis is it your body not allowing it to happen?? Ive been going through blame atm. Blaming myself for the lose and feeling like a let down and less of a woman because my body would not expect the egg and rejected it. Does anyone else feel like this, I feel like im going crazy. I wanna move on and try again but im also worried that it will happen again and again. Xx

Hi sweet ladies!!

Missytwoshoes, I understand your worries, but I think your numbers are fine, hun!!! As soon as your numbers reach a certain level, they aren't supposed to double as quickly as before. As a matter of fact, as soon as you reached 1200, the doubling time slows down to 72-96 hours. So you're fine, hun!!! You can find some interesting info on CTP, at the beta hCG Doubling Calculator (on the bottom):

http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/beta_doubling_calculator.php

I don't know about the progesteron... Maybe you should take at least the 25mg? I understand that you don't want to feel like you didn't try everything... Don't really know what to do about that matter... It sucks that you feel like you're not being heard :-(

Nikolina, I think your numbers are fine too, hun!!! Doubling time should be somewhere between 31 and 72 hours, so you're doing great!!! I have faith in your body and your baby :-)

Emmyflower, judging from your previous cycles, it seems like your pre-O temps are rather high this cycle, but it definitely looks like you O'd!! How are you doing in the TWW? Is it correct that today would have been your due date? Are you okay? Thinking of you, hun, sending you lots of hugs and love!!!

Jada, thank you for your sweet words, hun!!! I'm glad you're feeling better and you are having fun, if you know what I mean ;-) I don't really consider myself an expert, but you can bet we will be here for you, hun!!!

MummyHillsdon, welcome! Don't mind you joining at all :-) I'm sorry to hear you already suffered two losses :-( I understand you've been blaming yourself, but it's not your fault!!! I would be scared too, for another loss... We all are... CPs rip us of worry-free pregnancies... But don't give up... Allow yourself all the time you need! And go further if you feel like you're up to it... It's sweet that your hubby tries to cheer you up... It's probably hard for him to see you so sad, and off course he doesn't really understand, that's practically impossible... I think it's good that you talk to each other and it's also a good idea to talk to some ladies who've been through similar experiences. Feel free to vent away if you feel like you need it.

AFM, stitches are gone and my wound is healing. Counting down VERY impatiently to Wednesday (next appointment), hoping we will finally find out!!! Nikolina, lol, my husband also thinks girl :-) Hope to know soon!!!

Sending you all lots of sticky vibes and lots of baby dust!!!!

Alice

Thank you Alice wonderer, it is hard and im worried that it will happen again, but im going to try and think positively and see if that helps, I suppose I should be happy to know that im ovulating and that the egg is implanting, just got to figure out the rest with the doctor. Thank you again xx

Hay Beautiful Ladies :)

Mummyhillson, welcome hun.... im so sorry hun that you had to go true this. I went true 2 back to back chemical pregnancies, and i know how hard it is...it doesnt metter how far you were, its still hurts the same, and you know you have lost something so precious... Dont blame yourself, it wasnt your fault nether your hubbys, just something down the road didnt happen what supposed to happen. I used blame myself aswell, and i was so down, that my hubby got worried about it. Dont keep that inside you, he is there for you, and he wants to understand what you going true!! Please hun, stay positive, i promise it will happen for you v v soon, just keep positive. We are here for you, if you need someone to talk to, we all went true that, but each others support made us stronger and made us be positive :) Sending you lods lods positive vibes and lods baby dust hun :)

Well today 19dpo, 2 days past chemical pregnancy, so lil bit relived now :) I know i keep saying i wont test anymore, lol, but done one this morning, hope its the last one :) So disappointed at my doctor, cos she dont think i need anymore betas done... so kinda in the dark here... hopefully i will hear back soon from hospital, but if not i will defo gona go to privat clinic back home and will get all tests and ultrasound done, and maybe they will give me some progesterone :) Hope it wont be too late. As for symptoms, nausea is gone, lil worried about that, just sore bbs, lil twinges around bellybutton, super bloated...ahhh porr my hubby lol lol At least i can blame on baby :) Please ladies and all prayers right now, please stick lil baby, we love you already so so much xxxx

Lods of love

Nikolina

Thanks nikolina123, feeling emotional at the moment, every pain reminds me, hubbys helping loads bless him and hes trying his best to cheer me up. We are going to keep trying and think positively, ive started taking omega3 multi vitamins, b6 and zinc so hoping they will help, also start opk on the 24th so fingers crossed for a good month. Baby dust to you too xx

Hi sweet ladies!

Nikolina, I hope your hear something soon from the hospital! Keep us posted!! I understand you feel sad about them not checking your numbers again, but it can also be a good thing: we overanalyze them anyway, so sometimes it's better to be in the dark than to try to draw conclusions from fuzzy indications... Sounds like a really great plan about the ultrasound, hun!!! That will definitely reassure you, I'm talking from experience :-)
Thank you for your sweet words, hun!!! I'm feeling okay, nothing much to complain about :-) I made a similar promise to myself: if we don't find out gender on Wednesday, I'm scheduling a private scan as well :-) I'm done waiting ;-) But I hope it won't be necessary :-)

MummyHillsdon, staying positive is not easy, I know. It often feels like it will just never happen. But it will!!! For some ladies (and I guess we're all one of them), the road can be very challenging, emotionally and physically, but you'll get there, I believe that!!! Crossing my fingers for you!!!!

Lots of sticky vibes and baby dust to all of you sweet ladies!!!!!

Alice

Hi Ladies :)

Alice hun, so glad you are doing well :) Awww your scan day is nearly here!!! ;) I hope you will find out if its gona be a lil girl or lil boy ;) Did you try that gender prediction here in tools?? Lol i done mine, and it said girl, just was wondering how accurate it is lol Yea i totally understand about private scan, but i have feeling that you wont need it :) Can not wait to hear all about it ;) Yea it bit sucks being in the dark here, but made a lil plan, i gona buy one last test, digi, just to test when im 5 weeks and see if it will be gone up to 3+, just for my peace of mind. Still no much symptoms, but trying not to worry much about it. My hubby is mad to tell somebody, so i think this sunday we are telling his parents, they will be so over d moon, they dont know we are trying :) I think once you tell somebody it makes it more real right? Dreading telling my boss, gona wait untill im at least 8 weeks. Will deal with that when i come back from holiday :) Can not wait to go and see my family, and tell them lovely news :) So funny that last time we went in february i was also pregnant, lol so this will be second time for them :) Im trying to eat healthy and drinking lods of water, once im back from holidays and everything is fine, i will slowly gona go back on exercising, bit scared to do it now lol Thank you hun for positive words,i really needed to hear them, it did made me feel bit better :) Thanks for still beeing here for us, that really means alot :) Sending you lods lods positive vibes hun!!! :) Lods of love :)

Hay Emmy hun, i saw your temp going up up :) Hope you are doing well hun!!! :) Sending you lods lods baby dust and positive vibes hun :)

Hay missy hun, how are you feeling? Any new symptoms??? Lods lods sticky wibes sent your way hun :)
