Wow, this is a lucky board. Molly and BarbD, congratulations to you both!! When do you get your next betas? I have to wait a week, which will surely drive me crazy.

Barb, the spotting is probably implantation bleeding. It's a good thing!

Chris, my beta was 14dpt (felt like 40!). How're you progressing?

Thanks, all, for the congratulations. It's great to think there are a bunch of people with their fingers crossed for me. Maybe this is the one.

Wanted to say Happy V-Day to everyone.



Kate -The highest beta I have seen was a little over 2000 but I think you are a little farther then she was. I would definatly think their might be more then 1 in there. Congrats.

Hope everyone is doing good. I haven't posted much, just laying low right now. Wishing you all the best of luck.

Sorry I have been MIA our power has been out since Wed. evening. It has been killing me not being able to get online to read all of your posts.

I started feeling different and it was really bothering me - my breasts weren't as sore and I wasn't as bloated, just feeling different. So I asked my husband to bring home a HPT. And I did it.........I POAS!!!! I really thought I could hold out and I think I would've been able to if I could've gotten on here and talk to you all. Anyway when I took the test I had 5 days till BETA. I got a +. It was faint, but positive. So now I feel better but not convinced until I get my BETA.

To all of you ladies who have gotten your BFP........ CONGRATS!!!!

JennLB25 - have you POAS yet??

Wow - what is it with the power outages?

tburks - I'd say CONGRATS! From what I've read a line is a line where HPT's are concerned. They do not tell you how pregnant you are, just that they are detecting HCG. So is your BETA Friday? That's when I go in for first u/s! Good luck girl!

kate - WOW, what a number! And I thought mine was high...sounds like multiples to me! Congrats!

Sorry, not a lot of time for personals but i'm thinking of you all. And, I'm going nuts waiting for the first u/s. I've already run out and bought "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and it's actually kept me sane regarding some of the symptoms I've had. It's saved me about a dozen calls to the RE's office anyway! :oops:

Hope everyone had a GREAT V-day! :wink:

Now that I've had time to search online, I'm realizing just how abnormally high my beta is. Turns out it's really even out of range for twins, which means there are 3 possibilities:

1) the lab made a mistake
2) it's triplets
3) something's wrong that can cause high hCG (could be a molar pregnancy, downs syndrome, etc)

I've gone from excited to worried and I'm trying to just keep my mind off it, but you know how that goes. Anyone have any info or advice?

Hey Kate, It might be because your beta was so late. I have also read that molar pregnancies have beta in the millions. Please don't stress to much. I am sure if there was a reason for concern your doctor would have told you. Just enjoy this time. :)

So i have been POASing since day one. I saw a positive from the trigger shot to a negative when it went away. I got a very faint postive today which makes me 10dpo or 7dp3dt. I am going to post a picture so you guys can see but I won't be sure until beta day. Even with the PIO shots I don't feel any symptoms from that. I don't want to get happy so I will wait until beta day which is 5 days away.

Rosario and Tburks - CONGRATS ON YOUR POSITIVE HPT's.

Kate- Don't worry about your beta. It is a strong number but I think you are a little bit later then some of the other beta test. Plus, there are so many times that a pregnancy starts out with 2 or 3 ends up to be just 1 or 2. Just give it some time and wait for your U/S. Your u/s will be the only thing to tell you for sure so there is no need to drive yourself insane. Don't want to really alarm you but the gal that had a beta over 2000 is PG with 4. It is Kas on the Oct/Nov/Dec board. You might want to PM her if you have any questions.

Well......... I POAS again today and got another positive. DH is containing his excitement until BETA but as for me with another + HPT I am feeling pretty confident.

Rosario
My first test was pretty faint to and felt like it took forever to show up. Today it came up a lot faster but it's still not as dark as the test line.

Will it ever be as dark as the test line???

tburks In the morning it seems like you can notice it a lot more. The only thing is that if i test at this hour like i just did you barely notice it at all. Like my DH says "you are pregnant in the mornings and not at night". Is this something normal? It does take long for the positive to come up which makes me wonder if its a real one or not. I test 2x a day call me crazy but sometimes even 3x a day. I just want the line to be visible enough so i don't have to keep worrying about this. I might just do a blood test in the office on tuesday and see how my beta levels are if I am pregnant indeed.

Hello ladies... OMG, so many BFP while I was away on my great date. Our Velntines date went great. There were 4 couples all together. We did the Limo ride for 3 hrs around the city, then the Limo dropped us off at the Restaurant. We ate, but the dancing room was too crowded, so instead we headed to a nightclub and danced our butts off. I did have a few drinks.. :lol: but not as many as the other girls. One of the girls was drunk by the time we got to the restaurant so her boyfriend was babysitting all night. But DH and I had a great time. We ended up getting home like at 6 in the morning and knocked out. Well, tomorrow I go in for BW/US, I hope I have some follies growning in there. Tonight is my 3rd night os stimming but I don't feel bloated yet... it may be too soon, but I remember the first time i was more sore and bloated by now. I hope the scan comes back with good news. I have been doing the heparin day and night... they did mention the bruising on the stomach, she told me to put ice before and right after the shot so that it can minimize bruising. So far I don't notice any bruising so its good. She just told me to be careful when I cut my vegetables, cuz I don't want to get cut and bleed bleed bleed. No headaches execpt for today waking up with a minor Hangover... but that was my last night of drinks... hopefully for the next 9 months :wink: .

Kate... 3520 beta.. :shock: OMG, we r talking multiples. How many did u have put back? Don't worry about what the internet says... enjoy your pregnancy. Good Luck and Congrats to you and DH.

Barb... Congrats to you as well. It is finally official. I'm so happy we r getting so many BFPs, this does seem like the lucky Board. have a happy & healthy 9 months.

CT_Michelle... Sorry that your cycle has been delayed this long. Hopefully they can correct the problem so that u can get started on your cycle soon. Good Luck hun.

Hopeful... congrats on being on Lupron. As for your soar boobs... well, I beleive eveyone reacts differently. And soar boobs can be a side effect, I rather have soar boobs than a major headache any day. At least you know that u r responding well to the meds. Good Luck hun.

Tburks... Sucks having your power off. Hopefully it will come back on soon. As for POAS.. congrats on your positive. Sounds very promising. I bet its exciting finally seeing a + on an HPT. I have never had a + on an HPT so it must feel wonderful. Good Luck.

Rosario... same with u hun, congrats on your Positive HPT. Can't wait till its official in a few days.

Mandeekins... Good to hear from you. So u r enjoying your pg well. The book WTEWYE, that is a great book. I luv it. Everyday u find yourself peeking at the pages when u feel something new. While I was PG, it was my PG Bible. I kept it with me at all times. Good Luck on Friday with your 1st Baby US. Cant wait to see how many beans u have brewing in there. Congrats again and again!!

Well ladies... I am going to go wash my dishes, I will check back in later.
