Cristi - Thank you for the reassurance! My tests this morning were slightly darker. The biggest difference is between the yesterday's FMU and today's FMU IC!! Only a slight difference in the FRER's.

Hubby is excited, but says he doesn't want to get his hopes up. Even though I'm like "But it's a FRER! Better than at the Dr office!!" LOL. "Twi pink lines, I'm prego!" hehe.

When should I try my Clearblue digi's??

Hi, I hope everyone is have a great weekend! I got my first HCG and Progesterone blood tests today. My HCG level was 3,882 and my Progesterone was 26.1

Are those healthy/good sounding numbers? I'm 4 weeks, and 5 days along. On Monday I'm taking another HCG blood test to see if my numbers double in the 48 hours between the tests.

Wishing you all baby dust and BFP!!!

If anyone is interested - progression from 10DPO SMU to 11DPO FMU...

rebecca: Yeah some cycles are like that. Hard to follow. I don't like the digital monitors and readers, they mess up a lot, I like the little cheap OPK sticks, easier to read and less room for error.
Yeah, time will tell, some cycles you just cannot be sure. I just hope you get a and won't have to deal with it again .

Kara: Beautiful progress!!! !

Thank you, Kotikd!

mylucky - so awesome!! my doc said most seem to be made if you BD the day of the opk +, so i guess she was right! hoping for a sticky bean! tests looking great too!!!

carla - no worries! no over til AF shows!

GB & angela - hope you guys get a BFP and AF stays away!!!

floz - sorry about AF :(

rebecca - i'm sure you still have a chance! look at myluckyduck kara, worked great for them!

AFM, CD14. ewcm and bd'd the last couple days. opk not + yet, but i may have marked CD1 this cycle a day too early. hoping opk is + tomorrow. last couple months had horrible cramping left side at ovulation time. i know from my sono HSG it should be the right this cycle.

6dpo, slept in late tonight so I adjusted my temp with a bbt adjuster. Temp was 98.4 @ 11:30 am and I usually temp at 7 am. Woke up extremely hungry and nauseated. Dr appointment in the morning for yearly check up, I will talk to them and see how early I can test since I will be 7dpo tomorrow.

I do not want to boast about my positive too much. However, I know some of you are interested in my progress...I have posted more pictures and made them public. Feel free to look!

gds- I have no idea why my posts do that. UGH! I was asking about your sons sister. I don't blame you about not wanting to read too much into your symptoms. I always do and I always have a BFN. KMFX'd for you BFP!!!

Welcome Braiden'smommy! GL!

Koti-My RE told me that he likes to see any number above 10! Heres an article that says about the same...enjoy your vacay!

angela- baby dust!!!!

first- No endo!! I'm the first to be diagnosed with PCOS in my family although there is a history of female issues and diabetes on both sides. All of my aunts have been able to have children, but they've all either had a hysterectomy, have fibroids, or have cysts. Same with my cousins. I would insist on the testing if I were you. The reason I say that is because there are several areas that they test and one of those areas could be elevated causing you to have PCOS type characteristics. Plus, I feel its better to rule out everything. I hope you catch that egg!

floz- being sick could have distracted you from earlier symptoms. Are you going to retest?

aclark- ((hugs))

2more- I LOVE acupuncture! I've had "cold wom" as well. I spent months not drinking or eating anything cold (except for the occasional margarita). I also started wearing socks all day and to bed and keeping a blanket around my belly and even a heating pad sometimes. I had to change acupuncturist because I moved and my new one said she doesn't see any signs of "cold womb" anymore! I still don't drink anything cold and only have a salad on occasion. Now, when I touch my abdomen, it feels nice and warm :-)

cotton- Yay for rainbows!

gb- Hopefully AF has kicked the bucket! I think I see something on that test. Give a couple of days and retest!

mylucky- Amazing! Congrats! Awesome progress!

Cristi- sorry about AF! I've got to get back to my Folic Acid. I stopped right before my lap. *baby dust to you*

Carla- (hugs)

rebecca- I have used three charting systems in the past and they've all said something different. I would say go with the one that coincides best with what your body is saying to you.

hobbit- WOWZERS! those numbers are freaking amazing! You may have two in there with those HCG levels.

AFM-AFM- Just CD24 for me. I had some cramping last night I think it was gas. Although I haven't been temping, FF estimates I will have a 36 day cycle. I think I said before I would give AF until CD35 to come then I would call my RE for more progesterone. I think I may test around CD30ish. I have two $ store tests from the last time I tested. I'm not expecting much, but I'd like to get my mind ready for AF is she's coming...on second thought, I may want to wait it out and let her show or not show. *sigh*

Pretty sure I'm having some early AF cramps :( I think I'm out this cycle. Crazy how I would have almost bet money I was pregnant and now I'm almost positive I'll have AF tomorrow. Crazy, torturous roller coaster ride this is. Ugh. Good luck to everyone else still testing. My fx'd for more sept babies!!!
