dbirdie - thanks!! yeah the progesterone is stellar! previous levels for me were 3.2, 4.4, and 7, so >60 while pregnant is fabulous! they want you at least in the 20's. the doc office likes the numbers a lot, but no thoughts on if it means multiples... i have a gut feeling there's 1-2. DH's family is saying there's 4, but i highly doubt it! i want 2 max because more than that will endanger our safety. i also want to know what sites to use... i checked out CMP and like you said, it's kinda dead. we can obviously keep running here :) so glad the U/S's are looking good!!! glad that baby is in the uterus and looks great!!

xoxocouture - FX'd you get a BFP!

babydust85 - boo AF :( sorry cycle buddy!

barely there - thanks!! how you been doing??

skelly - sorry the body is not behaving! i hope it gets figured out soon! hope the school work lightens up also!

ladysg - :( any more info yet?? what is eltroxin?

jfh - i'm gonna keep my FX'd for you for a miracle!

rainbowbabe83 - you testing yet???

runnermom - thanks so much for the info!!! does make sense! i was trying to make it all work in my brain :)

AFM, 17DPO. On friday along with my first beta (344) i had my T3, T4, and TSH checked. My T3 and T4 are normal and my TSH has risen again! my TSH was almost 0 a month ago and now it's back to low normal!!! saw my endo today and he's happier with the numbers so we will keep watching! in a couple months i need a graves' antibody test to make sure we aren't going to make the baby hyperthyroid. i hope my graves' is still in remission! and so then i skipped the prometrium (progesterone) last night per doc's orders and had the beta and progesterone levels checked today. beta was 1102, doubling time of 42.7 hours! and progesterone super high so i can likely stop the prometrium suppositories! U/S set up for 5/8 currently, will be almost 7 weeks by then. i swear i can't wait that long!!!

hi I want to ask I am in my 55th day of cycle and have irregular periods tested today morning but negative. The device was manufactured in july 2012 and was to expire in september 2014. So did i do the mistake :-( Kindly reply I am waiting for your reply and other's feedback too. I am facing all the symptoms but really don't want to face any more negatives. My doctor is saying all symptoms are because of progestrone effect it will subsidize when i will have period.

Sweety- that is a long cycle. Any idea when you ovulated? AF will come about 14 days after ovulation. I think your test should've worked perfectly fine. Progesterone/PMS symptoms are the same as early pregnancy so it literally can be a waiting game unfortunately :(. Good luck!

@Firstimemommy Still nothing...no sign of AF. Visited the GP this past weekend....did a pregnancy test and still BFN. I just feel bloated now....feel like a whale. He suggested we give it another week and if still nothing then he wants to run some tests and find out what's wrong because he fears it might be something major...already beat him to the table....I already think its something major. I'm on Cycle Day 33 (my longest thus far). Normally 28 days.

Eltroxin is what my surgeon put me on. It's meds for my thyroid. Had hyperthyroidism, diagnosed last year late. Went for an op in December 2013 and I got put on eltroxin 0.05mcg. Now doc and I think it might have turned to hypo...last month my thyroid profiling turned out okay. Levels where normal...but now I'm clueless.

So I'm not sure if this baba might be hiding somewhere or if my menstrual cycle just took a change of course.

FYI.....I just feel like a whale...

@firsttimemommy
thanks a lot for such a prompt reply. My periods do not have any honesty with me ;-) its irregular with sonography i has as i have my aunt as my doctor. She told me i will ovulate on 23rd to 31st of march. Kindly reply please

You may have not ovulated then like predicted. That can happen a lot. Things like stress especially delay ovulation. When you do finally, AF or a positive HPT will follow about 14 days later. You may be in the TWW right now? I'd discuss with your aunt.

@First - those are GREAT numbers! Does anyone have the link to the January board?

Firsttimemommy I'm not too bad. Went back to work today after 2 weeks off for the school holidays and I've had people galore asking me if there's a baby on the cards anytime soon?! Recently moved house so I guess the saying is new house new baby. Felt weird saying not just yet when really I want to shout it from the roof tops!! Been getting some EWCM the last couple of days. I'm hoping this is a good sign rather than the other way. A few sharp twinges on my left lower side too so going to be keeping a watch on them I think. I wish I could have a bit more monitoring after last month but I guess they think as it's just one it shouldn't mean anything untoward in general. Going to do another digital test Thursday morning, hoping to see the nice 3+ signage!

Your numbers are fab! So pleased!

Made the jump a few weeks ago from the November board and I gave up trying for this month (no charting temps, symptoms, etc.). I got my BFP yesterday morning!!! I couldn't believe it...I'm still a little shocked and don't quite believe it yet. Took another test this morning and BFP #2. I am going to the DR on Thursday to confirm. Can't believe its finally happened for us after trying for almost a year. Our kids will be excited to hear the good news! Good luck to you ladies on your BFPs! Crossing my fingers that it happens soon for you :)

whileimwaiting - here is the January board started by JustKat.. i jumped over a couple days ago..
