Harleyloo -- CONGRATS ON THE BFP!!!!!!!!!! And you go for your second beta the same day I do!

Hackey -- Don't let yourself get too down! You know there are MANY women who have taken HPT and gotten negatives and still gotten positives with their beta! Keep up the PMA!!!

Lauren- Congratulations... I have been coming back to this web site everyday to check on you guys. Your BFP makes me so happy :D !

Helen- Please keep the faith. If this is not your time it will definetely come but you never know this could be it. Maybe your HCG levels are just not high enough to be detected by the HPT you took. Please keep us updated!

I also am getting blood work next Tuesday. It will be my third beta.

Take care,

Angela

Helen,

Thank you...

Don't get yourself down about the HPT.. You know that those HPTs start testing levels of HCG at 25.. even if you level is lower than 25.. you are still considered pregnant.. So, maybe you are just below the margin..
AND, it is still a bit early. Do you have any of the tests left? Maybe you can check again tomorrow and Tuesday?

I have heard of so many people who have taken HPTs, gotten negatives.. and gone on to have a positive beta... keep your spirits up. You will be in my prayers.

Hugs,
Lauren

Hi Lauren,

Not sure if you remember me but we posted back and fourth a couple days ago. CONGRATS!!!!! That is awesome:). Did you feel pregnant? Any signs? How many days post transfer did you get positive?

I had my 3dt on Monday so just waiting for ANY signs that I am pregnant!

Hi!

Embie30068 - Hi! I hope you are feeling well and thank you! To answer your questions.. the first positive I got, was this past Thursday, which was 6dp5dt, so - 11 days past ER. That test was very faint (clearblue easy) & as a matter of fact, DH and I had a debate whether it was "in my head" or not. haha. My symptoms are as follows: I am exhausted, and I feel like at 3pm i need to nap.. (which isn't extremely helpful when you work FT). My bb's are sore.. and I have strange cravings.. LIKE, i can't get enough of the pickled beets!! its really gross!

Are you having your beta on Tues/Wed? If so.. maybe test (if you were thinking of doing so.. ) on Monday or Tues?? I think that the First REsponse Early Digital Gold was the best one.. NO GUESSWORK!

Best of luck!

Angelaezra - thank you and congrats to you as well! how are you feeling? any symptoms? how many weeks are you, at this point?

Baby dust to all,
Lauren

Hi girls
I had my beta today and it was postive...which is awesome but the number is only 48. The nurse said she wanted to see it higher. I had a positive hpt last thursday so I would think the numbers would be higher now so I am losing hope...

Thinking about you too, Helen.... Sending you lots of baby dust...

I just got my second beta results. Beta was 1,334, estrogen is 776, and progest. is 54.9. So, she said those are all good numbers! I have to go back Monday for more blood work and an ultrasound, so they can see how many sacs are there (oh goodness, there'd better just be one! lol). Should be just one...we only transfered one...goodness...

Hi everyone,

I have the results from my 2nd beta as well...
Ours has risen from 215 - 538! The progesterone went from 51 - 52.. so, that is steady!

I have an u/s appt a week from today to see how many sacs are there..
we either have twins or one very strong little embryo that could!

Hope everyone is having a great day,
Baby dust,

Helen,

I am very sorry to hear your news... I was praying that you would be surprised by the outcome, today.

Take some time for yourself.. and keep up your positive attitude. Your BFP will come..

We had our eggs put back on 10/24 and our beta is 11/5... 8 days left until then. My bbs are definitely larger (dh has confirmed! ha!) and I've had these pulling feelings in my tummy and have been napping every afternoon. And I've been REALLY thirsty. I don't know what's up with that! Anyone else experiencing any of this so early on? I don't know if it's just in my head.
