Dragonfly23 what a worry, glad all was well in the end :)
Nissa1019 your numbers sound really good, good luck for Saturday ???? xxx

@neomasie & @Lakarmw. Thank you. This third trimester is going by fast. I'm trying to figure out when my last day should be as I have some holidays to use up and just rest for the last couple weeks. Will have to see how this month goes as I have holidays starting Aug 2-12.

Hello ladies! I am new to the group as I just got my BFP! I had a very faint line yesterday at 9 dpo and today at 10 dpo it is much darker!

A little background... I have had 5 miscarriages (always before the 6th week) and 1 ectopic on the left side where I lost the tube at 9 weeks.

I have never had a test progress this much in 24 hrs so I’m feeling hopeful!

I’m holding out on doing beta work because t stresses me out so I’m going to wait it out a little longer!

Symptoms

- soo tired!
- Increased saliva
- headaches
- irritability
- some cramping, pinching, pulling

Grow baby grow!!

@smoseman. Congrats on your BFP and have a happy and healthy 9 months. Those are good solid lines there. Hope there are no issues with this one. Is this your first baby?

Yes this is our first. We have been together for 13 years and married for 3 months. It’s so different actually tryin and I just don’t think my heart could handle another loss :(

@smoseman - Congratulations! That's a nice strong line this early. Hopefully baby is holding on tight! @Nissa - over 9k for your HCG? Very good numbers. You'll probably see a HB on your scan.

@dragonfly - whew! That must've been stressful. So glad it all came out fine.

@ calvingirl. It was a bit stressful. I was admitted with my daughter for Braxton Hicks and I spent too long in the hospital. It's bad enough that I work in one but at least I won't have to go very far in case something happens.

@smoseman. Have you had your progesterone levels checked? I know with the birth of my daughter my levels never went back to normal and I had loss after month after month. Did some Googling and had pretty much the same symptoms so I took a chance and bought creame off Amazon and got pregnant the first try and here we are today. Worth a try to ask your doctor.

Dragonfly23, we usually do betas and my progesterone does fluctuate that my dr has mentioned supplements but I never have a pregnancy get to that point.

I’m foregoing betas this time because they cause me so much stress. What was the cream you use? Maybe I could do that to be proactive?

@dragonfly23 using some of your days to rest leading up to due date is a great idea. That's my game plan. I plan on stopping work 1 week before my scheduled c-section just to rest and prep for the massive change!

@smoseman. I bought the Emerita Pro-gest cream. I just used a tiny bit once in the morning and once before bed. Once you get your BFP then keep using it until it is safe to go off. If you stop right after the BFP it could make the levels drop then a miscarriage can happen. If not a successful month then you can stop using the cream right away and try again next month.

@neomasie. Yes, I definately think it's a good idea. Sitting is getting so uncomfortable that I need a lounger. That's good you are stopping a week before our c-section. I hope I won't need one but will have to see.
