Haha shoot! Yeah I just saw. For some reason I missed the last page before posting. Woo!!! Why did your doctor say it was low? It's still early. Will you have another draw tomorrow?

Hey all!
I haven't been on in a while there was so much I tried to read everyone's but I failed miserably.

Acrichton YAY!!!!!!! !!! I knew it would happen for you!!! My first Beta at 3w5days was only 17 then in 48hrs jumped to 69, at 4 weeks, Then at 5weeks went up to 1514!! I think your numbers are Great!!! So happy for you!!!! We can be belly buddies!!! Are you getting another beta done?? Did they schedule you for an ultrasound yet?

How is everyone else doing??

GV Glad you have been able to stay busy. I hope this cycle isn't as wonky for you

Kot, Cristi, blushing, and everyone else I missed I'm sorry but I am thinking of you girls!!!!

AFM: will be 6 weeks on Friday!! Ultrasound showed that everything so far looks normal and things are where and how big as they should be! I go back in 2 weeks for the 7 week ultrasound!! We are moving into our new house in 2 days so things have been very stressful and I have been SOOOOOOO Tired. I fall asleep at like 8:30 on the couch.

Good Luck and Lots of to everyone!!! Keeping you all in my thoughts!!!

Hey guys! My husband and I have been TTC #2 since February with no luck so far. This cycle I am trying a few different things, Macca, soy isoflavones, pre-seed and.....v-steams ( which I consider "me time" because they are so friggin relaxing!) I am hoping that this cycle is shorter than last. So far my shortest cycle since TTC started was 32 days and the longest was 136 :( ugh! The previous cycle was 93 days so I am hoping that the soy helps with ovulation and therefore shortening my cycles. Im trying the maca to balance my hormones and just for the nutritional aspects of it too. I would just love to be able to give Christmas gifts to announce our pregnancy if it were to happen just right. I am praying praying praying and trusting in the Lord that he will bless us again since he blessed us once before 3 years ago :)

Ok so I am done rambling now but I just wanted to vent a little.

acrichton- I agree with everyone here. When I saw your numbers I said a celebratory "yes!" I think you are fine. You have a sticky bean I just know it!

Penny- I hope you caught that egg!

Lacey- Wooohooo! 6weeks is awesome!!!

Ashley- Can you give us more info on the v-steams? Iâ??m totally interested!!!

Felurian: lol, it's ok. No clue why my doc said that, especially to me who is totally a control freak about TTC . Duhhhh doc. Anyways I will get a second beta tomorrow afternoon, I'll have to skip out of work early (again) to get to the lab. Will get results Friday, they even wrote STAT on my script, bless their hearts.

Kizzy: thanks for the info dear!!! I hope they double. How are you??

Gvmdl: you called it lol!! I'm trying so hard to chill. In only 36 hours I'll pretty much know if there is a sticky bean on board. AF is "due" tomorrow or Friday (bc of my long cycles. Eeeeek lol) I hope you have a smooth cycle!

Lacey: I know :) I hoped we would be belly buds! I go for another beta tomorrow, it's probably 4w3d tomorrow. The first beta was 4w1d. It's still early but hope the numbers double!!!! I'm cramping, hoping its a good thing, making room for an embryo?! I hope! My doc was going on about scheduling a scan for 6 or 7 weeks, but I told him let's relax and wait for the other beta (I'm paranoid bc of my last mc, so I am trying baby steps) btw: it's only 715pm and I'm in my pjs ready for bed...lol...you aren't alone

Congrats on the new house!!!!! So exciting to start a new chapter in a new home!!! Did you tell your parents yet?

Cristi: did u O yet?

acrichton - I dont know a lot about beta numbers but from what I've read that sounds pretty good. I'm sure it will only continue to get higher and your tests today looked great! YAY!

kotikd - from what my endo tells me and research I've done, thyroid can really screw with ovulation, basically preventing it. However, the thyroid's affect on fertility is really complex b/c the thyroid regulates so many hormones. So if any of your hormones are out of whack, it can affect egg health, ovulation, implantation. I have very regular cycles and ovulate so who knows what my issue is. It's so confusing since you cant just pinpoint one thing being wrong.

Hi Ashley! I too must know what v steams are! Please share :)

Pbc, how are you??? Thank u, I hope they go up? What a crazy waiting game this fertility thing..time and patience needed I suppose.

Thanks blushing!!!!!! Your awesome. I don't even know what I would do without this board and you ladies!

@Acrichton - okay I'm confused. So the results you got today - when did you draw? And why are they having you draw in the afternoon? Sorry for all the questions - with my betas, I would go in the morning and get the results that afternoon. it was nice to not have to wait long. And they would have a couple days in between each draw. What's the scoop? And I think your number is good. Again, the second number will tell more. (-:
