Punk: That doesn't sound right. A clear blue digital test requires 25 hcg to read positive. Often times a woman has a positive urine home test and their blood hcg isn't quite there yet. The fact that you have over 5 hcg means you're pregnant. Take heart in that! I'm shocked they're not wanting you back in in 48-72 hours to see if your hcg doubles as it should. I would be calling and telling them to check your levels 48-72 hours after the first draw!

@punk. I'm truely sorry. Was praying for some good news this morning. Take some time for yourself.

Punk: I'm so sorry hon. I know it hurts. I had 4 before I conceived my daughter and they won't even count them because they were "unconfirmed" by a doctor. I also had one before my bfp this time. I had to tell myself "it means you can get pregnant" just to get past it. It was really hard. *Hug* if you need to talk please don't hesitate to send me a private message.

Punk: Brown spotting is very normal in early pregnancy for a lot of women! The fact it wasn't red is a GOOD sign. I'm holding onto hope for you hon.

Miam: I love being a girl mom. I don't mind having another. I think deep down I kind of knew already but was just hoping so much to have a boy because I didn't feel that disappointment I expected when the sonographer said girl. I already bought a couple cute little girl things today. I just have like NO girl names at all lol. But isn't that just the most precious 3d? I even have a 4d video clip of her and at the end she yawns twice and it's sooo cute!

@pandorica - glad you found us..
Dang girl I really feel ya on that. I felt the same way with my hubby. Everytime we should BD I felt like he would stay out late or have an excuse for not wanting to. Its exhausting. Im excited you hubby will be home this summer for you, but hopefully you won't have to wait that long..

AFM- 12 dpo. I haven't had any symptoms like I usually do. Yesterday I woke up and my temp dropped definitely thought I was out. But rose back up again. Just concerned its not high enough. I guess I just have to wait and see. Really praying for a BFP this month. Hubby and I have been TTC for 3 years. Off and on but more on then off. Ugh. I really don't want to go to the doctor.

I went for blood tests last feb, all came back normal, oh only got around to doing his Friday just gone....obviously the pandemic has not helped matters and the lockdown restrictions we have had here in the U.K...but he has done it finally....he needs to speak to the dr on Monday about his results....we’ve discussed this on numerous occasions as I think there has been some change to his “flow” he was I hospital a year and a bit ago an my gut tells me this has got something to do with it all...not sure what/how we will move forward on things if the dr says the worst...we have one child together already and am extremely grateful, proud that we have but yearn for a brother/sister to complete our family...we will just have to see....conscious we are not getting any younger too!

@ amysyone- well I'm glad your good. Hopefully your hubby gets good results too. I understand wanting to complete your family. I feel like every child should have a sibling but thats just me. If it doesn't happen for us yes I will be sad but extreamly greatful for my kiddo.

With teaching and my oldest turning 13 Friday we have been super busy and I haven’t been on. Just realized we have the new group. This is the second month TTC for 3rd but first month he is home for whole fertile window! Got my peak for ovulation today! We dtd last night and then will the next 3 days. Hope that will be enough lol good luck and baby dust to everyone!

@Miam - Yeah, it sure sucks. If he worked regular hours like me, then it wouldn't be a problem. But since he works night shifts 1½ hour drive away, well it's impossible to bd.
