Thanks!

So found out my first level was 59 for my blood test, which is on range but I am nervous about it not rising properly! I get it re drawn tomorrow and then I'm afraid I will have to wait the weekend to find out. Ugh!! I was stupid and googled "low hcg level" and heard all kind of horrible stories BUT the big thing is that it does rise and continue to rise. As long as it doubled, I should be ok.

I did have super sniffer last night. My husband sprayed some air freshner that I use to like and it was so strong I got immediately nauseous. So hopefully that is a good sign. Other than that I can say I have had any definte
symptoms that could not have been something else.

I have made myself all paranoid so I temped this morning and it was my highest temp so far :) I gotta take a chill pill!! lol

I have learned Google is not your friend lol. Your right the important thing is what your number does from here on out.

Surprise surprise... My test was a . So after crying my eyes out in the shower for the billionth time on this journey I have put on my big girl panties and just waiting for af on Monday.

Ohh hopefulunicorn I'm soo sorry. I know it sucks to hear "it'll be ok" so just take your time and walllow through AF (if it comes) and we'll wait together next cycle!

Lucy, don't worry. When low hcg is usually really low I think. With my mc, the first time my hcg was drawn it was at 15 so I think you're doing really well.

i keep forgetting to temp this month! I guess I'll just rely on OV tests.

Have any of you ladies ever had a really really early ovulation? I haven't started testing ov yet but after AF finished a couple days ago, I started feeling more arousal, which is relatively normal, but now it won't go away, kind of like during ovulation week, plus, I was feeling ovulation-like pains today.

Just wondering. I've always ovulated right "on time" at day 14, or super late like 19 or 20.

Thanks PMarple! We will do the next one together I have not done any opks but I will start them this next cycle. Sorry I am of no help

I always found the opk didn't work great on me but that is probably due to PCOS and my lh is probably already on the high side. I would have positve forever after the initial surge...

I am officially throwing the thermometer out and I am out of HPT. I just had to use them up!

I have been sick the last 2 mornings but not to the point of actual vommiting. Good signs that my levels are probably rising but bleh....

I go this afternoon to get my level checked. I had GD with my last pregnancy and they are going to keep me on metformin this time. My fasting are normally between 90-95 but the last 3 days they have been between 101-107. Ugh! This will be a long 9 :p

So level rose to 204 so I guess it is rising as expected. I haven't talked to the dr yet. I figured out that I probably already have Gestational Diabetes again. I had it last time but not until the third trimester (far as I know). I ate 3 pieces of pizza the other night and decided to test 2 hours later and it was 180! I was so upset! I immediately started following my old diabetic diet and the rest of the weekend I did fine. I'm just bummed because last time I was able to control it with diet alone and this time I am already on metformin so I thought I wouldn't have to be as strict but it looks like no such luck. That's ok. I know I can do it!

I'm sorry that sounds like a bummer when I'm sure you want to eat whatever your body is craving. But I know you can do it!! The little nugget in there will appreciate it for sure!

Are you planning on finding out the sex when you can?

I am so glad your numbers are doing what they are supposed to do. I am also sorry that you are having to deal with gd very early on. Like PMarple said though you got this!
