Airline, you can check out betabase for statistics on hcg level by dpo for singletons and twins. Sorry, I misread your post before, I thought you were talking dpo, not dpt. What day was your transfer? Regardless of which day, those numbers are doubling very quickly, which is a great sign!
Airline: I was told date wise to go from two weeks prior to egg pickup. I guess with a FET maybe two weeks prior to transfer? Not sure on that but if you went two weeks prior to transfer it would give you a vague idea until your dating scan. Congrats again!!! Look like really strong numbers!!

cheers glenny, another fellow brisbane gal. congratulations on your bambino....17 weeks wow!
sorry to be ignorant but does the PIG stand for something?
so woke up this morning tired but feeling a bit off, so had a banana then back to 'rest'. I slept another 1 1/2 hours got up and felt off still. I think m/s is setting in. even a i eat my cereal it's an effort to swallow. i wanted a smoothie but DH is asleep from nights. will make one tonight ready for tomorrow morning!
Airline- PIG is a post it girl. Means that Disgirl and I have exchanged mobile numbers and we will text each other when bubs arrives. I will post Disgirls birth announcement and she will post mine
Now, girls, I need your advice please...
I am finding that I am seriously overestimating what I can get done at the moment without falling in a heap! I'm also finding it really hard to sleep as I can't get comfy. My fall back position of on my back is painful now and I can't sleep on my side without a pillow. The trouble is that I've never been very good at sleeping while snuggled up to anything. DH and I sleep on opposite sides of the bed. So I can get to sleep with a pillow supporting my tummy but wake after about an hour because I'm uncomfortable and have to move.
Poor DH had me in tears last night about half 10 because I was so tired but couldn't sleep.
Now- here's my dilemma... I am a teacher and I had planned to finish the school year (Dec 10- makes me just oer 37 weeks) I'm starting to doubt my ability to make it. Especially since I teach in a demountable classroom (One of those metal boxes) which is roasting in summer! I am a contract teacher which means if I go off before Dec 10 I can take maternity leave up until the date of the end of my contract (Dec 10). But if I work up until I can't take mat leave after.
I'm starting to toss up taking some mat leave as I don't think I'll make it to Dec 10. My teaching partner and my DH think I should go off at the end of this term and take all of term 4 on mat leave (would be finishing at 27 weeks). I feel conflicted as I really want to be with these kids as long as possible but I know I have to put myself first. I've sent an email asking for a meeting with my principal to see what he thinks. I'm just finding it hard after so many years of teaching to think of myself before my class.
What do you all think, use your many hats- friends, parents, pregnant women, professionals. Also, any tips for my conversation with my boss as when I told him I was preggers I told him I planned to finish the year, after that conversation, he renewed my contract for the 2nd half of the year.
Hope I haven't confused you- I am crazy tired and not even seeing straight. Am at work today but tired and grumpy.
Hi ladies
I make this post with much sadness & heartache. My scan on friday showed my precious bub had passed away. My worst fears..again. This is my 4th m/c now and am very quickly losing all hope that i will ever be a mum. I have had so many tests done last time and i have positive ANA (antinuclear antibodies) & NK cells, am really starting to think this is my problem and i fear i will keep on killing our poor babies. I feel like such a failure. I was on all the right drugs, clexane, prednisone, progesterone etc...just dont know what else to do?
If anyone has any good stories of success after multiple losses would love to hear them. I know it does happen, but i'll never know if it will happen for me. Dont know what to think at the moment, i swing from anger to fear to complete dispair. I have to go in for a D&C sometime this week, i am really hating carrying around my dead baby inside me at the moment, i just want it out!
So sorry to be a downer on this thread. I want to thank each & every one of your for your support over the last month and wish you all the very best for continued safe & happy pregnancies.
Hopefully one day i will be back, but for now i need a good break...and a few more good cries
Just wanted to say to Yogi how sorry I am to hear your news. I will be thinking of you, please let yourself grieve as this is a very tough time. Don't give up, there is so much research into recurrent miscarriages - there is nothing 'wrong' with you, you just need to find the right person to help you get the baby you so very, very much deserve. Hugs to you xxx
yogi, I'm so, so sorry to hear your news. I hope the d&c goes smoothly and that your recovery is quick.
I do know someone who now has a healthy 5mo daughter after several early losses. I think her problem was a clotting disorder, but beyond that I don't know many details because we're not close. I just know she did daily injections throughout the pregnancy. I hope that one day (9 months after you're ready to start trying again) I'll get to share your success story with someone else in a similar position.
