Well ladies i come with good news...... Surprising but good for us... Im pregnant found out after scan today im 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant bubs has a gorgeous little heartbeat but im still terrified as you can imagine..... I found out Saturday week ago i was pregnant only tested to rule it out before starting on the provera as my period hadn't been.. We were in shock it had happened naturally and that going by when we knew we DTD that i was already over 6 weeks pregnant going by ectopic operation date... We had DTD twice but honestly had no idea i was ovulating..... We are both really happy but nervous and really want to just wake up at 15weeks pregnant so that every niggle doesn't do my head in.......
I want to send all my baby dust to all the wonderful ladies on here..... I wish you all the best for what the future holds and will remember to pop in and check how your going....
Hi ladies,
I hope you don't mind me dropping into this thread, I recently had an IVF cycle converted to a IUI. I have a question re the trigger injection and a HPT BFP. I had a 5000iu pregnyl trigger injection on Friday morning 3rd March, IUI on Saturday 4th March, I did a POAS yesterday approx 11.5 days past trigger. What are your thoughts on the 5000iu trigger being out of my system by then? Especially if testing with a Lullaby Conceptions that reads as low as 10 hcg?
As we've discussed previously, anyone using fertility drugs cannot rely on a home pregancy test (HPT) result.
Trigger injections like Pregnyl or Ovidrel are a synthetic form of hCG. Home pregnancy tests are designed to detect hCG. It takes 5 to 7 days for the effects of Pregnyl or Ovidrel to wear off. So if you use an HPT during this period you will most likely get a false result.
A blood test, on the other hand, will look at beta hCG levels and progesterone levels. High levels of both indicate a corpus luteum (the crater left on the ovary from the follicle that released an ovum) is producing enough of both these hormones to sustain a pregnancy.
However, if Pregnyl has been used in luteal support (the 14 days after ovulation), this will impact the hCG levels. For example, the beta hCG reading could be over 45, but if the progesterone levels read some crazy number like 1.4, this is called a chemical pregnancy. An ultrasound would most likely prove there is no egg sack and no embryo, although AF usually comes well before that happens.
Thanks Original P, so given I tested 11.5 days after a 5000iu trigger, in your opinion would a +HPT be because of left over trigger or a true BFP hcg level? TIA x
Hi Baby Dreamtime,
I would think that the pregnoyl would be out of your system by 11.5 days after injection.
also thought I would share my story.
I had a great big juicy Follie last week. I had the IUI done last Thursday so I'm officially 6 DPO (Dont worry about what my ticker sez its broken lol)I have been using pessies since last Friday (they make me feel so yuck)
I have been feeling really odd the last couple of days.
I rang our fertility centre and told them that I still have ferns on my maybe baby and the nurse said oooohhhhh in a really good way. have to wait until next Thursday to see I spose.
Now this may be TMI but I have really stringy but gunky mucas which is a light greeny colour like boogie when you have a throat infection. grose I know sorry hahahahaha
Has anyone else had this as this is my first time ever and it is kinda grosing me out.
Hopefully its the begining of my mucus plug forming but I really have no idea when or what that looks like hahahaha.
At least its made me laugh
Also I still have ferns on my maybe baby and I ovualated over a week ago.
Felt really ill after lunch yesterday and I have felt off for the last 2 days (just not with it, my other half will talk to me and I have to say pardon like 3 times before it actually sinks in) That is not like me. Also come 3.30 I need a nana nap, totally knackered.
Janeo, this is such wonderful news for you! The baby snuck in when you weren't looking. After everything you've been through you so deserve this! Keep up your vitamins, especially your B6 and zinc. And get lots of rest!!! You're carrying precious cargo! Only five weeks til the next scan - you will get there!
I think HPTs are designed to make money for pharmaceutical companies!!! We've all had a turn at lining their pockets with our own heartache and I for one am totally against it! Lol!
Seriously though, having HPTd at 11 DPO and got a negative, then done a BT four days later and gotten a BFP, I believe HPTs are totally useless. I think they're dependent on the level of hormones, which varies radically between individuals. For example, my hCG was 175 and Progesterone was 82. I thought that was good until I heard Shades hCG reading was over 500!!! I don't know what her Prog was, but I feel sure there's no way she wouldn't have registered a BFP on an HPT. And in both cases it's irrelevant because both were BFP and stayed that way.
Do you get my meaning? My advice is just wait til the blood test. It's paid for by Medicare whereas HPTs cost precious money that's better spent on more important things. It's a hard habit to break, but honestly, every BFN from an HPT caused major upset in my household. DH and I were a lot better off when we just let those things go.
originalP... could i ask you about your BFP???
i will probably be doing me 6th iui this month.
i did 4 in 2007 with clomiphene, and 1 last month with a newish drug called Femarra.
the problem i have is my FS dosen't want to use any otherdrugs or do any other test's during the month cycle. he does a day 10 scan, i watch for a lh surge and when i think i get one he does the Insem.
i read that you have done nat cycles and wondered what type of cycle you got your BFP on? what drugs did you use? what test's did you have.
thanks,...i would love to try something a bit different this month to see if it would make a difference....
Thanks Loops12, mummawannabe and others for the supports and the advices.
a week after iui, i felt my nipples sore and hurts. Now i woken up everynight for pee and i found out that i peed alot and i feel hungry all the time..i dont know if anyone have this symptoms
Im away for a week holiday at the moment, try to get away from stress and take a break too..my final beta will be on monday next week. Oh soo nervious..
Big hugs for Loops12..keep ur chin up and never give up!
You know, I just want to send a big hug to everybody that's BFNd lately. God it's awful when that happens, and every successive one is a total blow to the heart. We calculated we had something like 32 BFNs. The ones after the IVF cycles hurt us the most because we'd seen the embryo.
What I really want to say is that this can work out for everybody. Look a Janeo's miracle!!! Last month we were lamenting the loss of her tube and now look what's happened!
Diamond and I talked a lot about clutching at straws last year. We both agreed a person should do what ever makes them feel supported, be that acupuncture or eating moutains of vitamins or whatever. Even HPTs, but only if you know you can handle the disappointment of a negative.
I've seen lots of people go BFP on this thread. All it takes is staying in the game and being there when your number comes up.
