Lolo, I see a line too!!! Let us know what they tell you today! :D

AFM, AF showed up today. Not really surprised but it still sucks. I booked a holiday to lift my spirits though :D
RE appointment on Friday so we'll take it from there. It's been a year and half of ttc and the next step (after 5 failed clomid cycles) will be iui or ivf, I guess.

All the best to the rest of you out there, big hug and lots of

Hi Ladies,

Well I got my blood taken yesterday to see my HCG level and Progesterone level.

HCG=15
Progesterone=16.6

The RN only called me yesterday with the HCG level, at the time she didn't know my Progesterone level. She said it was a positive pregnancy but the level was very low but also said it was still considered early since I have no idea when I O'd. So I go back tomorrow morning for another test. She also said since they aren't in on Wed I could call the main number to get my Prog level. So, I called today to find out...all I can say is that it's MUCH better than the last time which was a 7.5. If I remember correctly they want your progesterone level to be above 10. The low HCG level makes me nervous and I did take another HPT and it was the same as yesterdays but I think the line came up a little faster. So, that this one sticks!

I can't help but feel really nervous but trying so hard to stay relaxed too. Feeling some very slight on & off cramping, boobs hurt and I feel like I am suffocating in my bra, I feel slightly moody (but, that could be because I don't feel like I got a good enough sleep last night). I'm excited and really nervous for tomorrows tests. I hate this waiting part...lol.

TeamSuperBaby: Don't count yourself out yet...I never got a +OPK this month either and now look at me.

xoxocouture: Thanks sweetie! That definitely gives me some hope.

aletheok: So sorry the witch showed up for you. at your appt and hopefully next month will be your month.

nharty09: So sorry the witch arrived for you too. When I'm sick it screws my cycles up too. I hope next month works out for you!

TTClate30's: Hope your appt goes well. Thinking positive thoughts your way!

Lolo-congrats! Praying you have a sticky bean in there! My appt went well. I really liked the Dr and staff. They did blood work and ultrasound today. I'm on CD 4 so they r going to try to set me up with an HSG in my hometowns in the next couple of days. I'm a little nervous for that test! But I hope i can get it done in my hometown so I don't have to take another day off for it in the next couple days. DH Is going to get another SA and then we have a phone appt scheduled for January 28th to go over results. Feeling positive and I am excited to hear what the tests all show and game plan. Just wish we had started this process sooner

TTClate30's: Thanks sweetie! And YAY for your appt! An HSG isn't that bad...just make sure to follow the directions by taking 3 Ibuprofin I think they said about 30-60 minutes before procedure...it helps. Otherwise it's a tad uncomfortable but otherwise not bad.

So glad that you found a place you like and wow phone appt's? That's nice...saves you from having to constantly drive out there. FX'd you get some answers now!

Hi Ladies.

Lolo - I'm so happy to hear about your positive!! my fingers are crossed that you got and extra sticky bean there. Please keep us posted about you test results.

TTC - I'm glad your appointment went well.I know I was relieved to finally feel like I was moving forward with things. DH seems to drag his feet a bit for his test which I kinda understand, eve if it is super frustrating for me.

Aletheok and Nharty - Sorry the witch got you. FX that October is your month.

AFM - I'm 8dpo and I only have mild symptoms, slight cramps, gas and my boobs hurt. I don't think it means anything because I usually get those for PMS. Luckily I only have few days before I can test. I might try and hold off until the 13th. Today I feel like I have a ton of energy so I'm running around and trying to get my house clean before I got back to work. Luckily it's only two days and then the weekend but I'm amazed at the amount of laundry that has accumulated.

Margie_M: Thanks! I will of course keep you all posted.

OK Ladies,

I need some advice...I'm a bit annoyed that CTP doesn't have the option to put a +HPT down if you don't have crosshairs. FF does. Should I put down any O date like CD19 or 21 or should I just leave it? And if I should put down an O date...do you all agree with CD19 or 21? I think the reason I am picking CD 19 or 21 is because my test came back so low that it makes sense to be not that far along. What do you all think?

Thanks!

Lolo-I think its safe to use CD21. Better to average late than too early I think

Lolo- I would just choose CD21. It's the day before your temp went up and stayed up.
