Betty Boop - that's great news! What an amazing start :dance:
Ok girlies, have got my results. Looking a little more promising:
recap 20 dpo (day 36) HCG = 1987, P4 = 89.4 and E2 = 1513
22 dpo (today day 38) HCG - 3361, P4 = 102.7 E2 = 1621
YAY - I love pessaries. FS wants me to stay on one a night. The only thing is I did take one extra one yesterday morning (oops - I was desperate). I am assuming that would be out of my system by today and the result is realistic?
Would have liked a slightly better to day increase on the HCG (works out at 1.7x instead of 2x). Do you guys think this HCG increase is OK?
Next test Tuesday...
-
WTH - yay. Looking good & you sound more positive today too. :hug:
From what I have read (on the net) anything up to 72hrs to double is considered acceptable as results can vary so dramatically from woman to woman, especially as the pregnancy progresses. But I also read that once you have had an early u/s to confirm viable pregnancy that u/s results are more conclusive than hcg results. Have they booked you in for an early u/s yet? hmmmm - tough decision about the pessaries. If you don't have limited supply then I personally would use an extra one - what does DH say?
-
You know you're addicted when ... you're dog tired and need to go for a lie down, but you just check up on the girls to see if you missed anything while you were out :lol:
Vanaithi - I have scanned and emailed you the contents page. The book is quite big, so I'm not sure what bits you were interested in. Have a look and let me know. Also, how do you pronounce your name? Is it van-ae-th-ee? I'm not sure if I could do the organic thing. I beleive it would work though. My DH already things I'm weird for the amount of effort I'm putting in. If I don't fall soon though I will probably take you up on that. Thanks. I like the idea you have ... just put it in a cup! Ha :ROFL:
Tutmae - Good timing with the delivery of the new bed and the EWCM. I bet we all know what you two will be up to tonight. :bd: Fingers crossed for you!
Betty Boop - That's good right? Congratulations. Here's a few just for good medicine :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
WTH - :cheer: Great news on your results!! I don't know about the 1.7x compared to the 2x. But it's going up at a rapid rate and that's great!! :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
AFM - Very tired, and very tired of this 2WW - only 3 days in!!! Time for a little nap.
Take care everyone.

Just dropping by to say :hello: everyone! I'm sorry, I've been a real slacker lately with posting, but I've been a bit unmotivated to post and also trying to keep myself busy with other things to try to take my mind off TTC. And it's actually been working, which is really good :)
Anyway, I am about to get back into it, CD8 today and off to the clinic for a scan and BT tomorrow, then probably IUI again in a few days time - I hope!
WTH - Sounds like the pessaries are doing the trick. I use them during the TWW, one in the morning and one at night. I think you'd probably be right with the BT - I think the extra one yesterday morning probably won't hurt.
Sorry for no more persies, I just wanted to stop by and let you all know I am still around. Hope everyone is doing well and :pink-babydust:
-
Ok, so I've come to the conclusion that I can never be as cool at the Jen chick... But I'm dealing with it better today so have come back to post :ROFL:
Easha - I hope today that you got a nice strong positive OPK!
Jen - I'm glad you had words with AF. She better listen, and if not, I got your back girl. Take her on!! My temp is being very well behaved and I even got my coverlines today. They are the "hmmm, maybe you ovulated" dotted lines, but I'm happy with any lines :D
Tutmae - Most people probably ovulate around CD14-15 I would guess, but it's definitely not unheard of to ovulate earlier. Did you BD around that time just in case?
Joey - Lol @ hump day version 2 hehehe.
I put a pillow under my bum after BDing, but I can't say I've ever pretended to ride a bike!!! :ROFL: But hey, whatever works yeah!?
I'd probably leave all your temps as they are, unless there was something that happened on both those days that could have affected your temp, like leaving the heating on overnight...
I'm not quite on holidays today, but I did finish work at 2pm. I wasn't exactly by choice though. There is a seminar I want to go to tonight and my work wants me to go too, but I would have had to finish an hour early and that may have left them in the lurch. So they cut my shift in half and gave half to someone else. Sounds good to have the afternoon off, except now the seminar has cost me over a hundred dollars in lost wages!
I'm 3 DPO with you!!
Oh! And a member of BellyBelly is actually sending me a copy of Natural Fertility! She has read it already and was offering it out to anyone that wanted it and I got in first hehe. Once I read it I'm going to forward it on to anyone else that wants to read it too. It'll be a "free range" book :ROFL:
Vanaithi - My herbs were meant to increase CM too! I think it worked when I was taking them hehe.
Betty - Congrats on the awesome hcg results!!
WTH - I'm so happy that your prog level has increased! And I think your hcg increase is perfectly fine. The last thing I read was that the average increase is for it to double every 2.5 days (rather than 2 days), but like AJC said, it must vary hugely from pregnancy to pregnancy and woman to woman. You are doing great!
Megsmum - Nice to see you here again. Wishing you all the luck with you scan, BT and IUI!!
-
Megs Mum - Welcome back. Good luck with the BDing this month
KL - Yeah, we can be 2WW buddies. I can't beleive how much you BD. Good on you. I wish I had it in me (and my DH) to BD that much. I just can't get into it. Your chart looks AWESOME. If you don't get a BFP this month I will be absolutely amazed.
I hope you had a nice relaxing afternoon. If you're going to lose money, you may as well enjoy it. I'm sure it was a well earned break. If you work half as hard as you BD, you are over due for a holiday girl!!
You will love that book. It is fantastic. One section has about 10 different charts, and tells you how to interperet them all!
AFM - Had a nice nana nap this arvo. Only half an hour though, until one of my kids from school called me. It just so happens that I teach the same grade that my DD is in, so most of her friends are students of mine. I'm taking a few of them to Movieworld next Monday to celebrate DD's birthday, so she was calling to ask about that. I actually ignored the phone the first time it rang, but when it stopped, and then started again, I figured I should get it. I should have known it was her. Private number, and calling over and over! Caller ID is great - until they have a private number!
When does the cover line come? I'm going to bed early tonight!!!
-
Joey - Trust me, by the time I ovulated both DH and I were suffering from all the bd'ing! :ROFL:
The annoying thing is that the first 8 times were for nothing! In hind sight I call them "practise runs" ;)
I can't wait to read the book. Everyone seems to think it's great so I have high expectations.
And I've very jealous that you get to go to Movieworld whenever you want (I got bruises on my arms from the speed of the Superman ride, but it was so darn good!!!)! You lucky-duck being so close to all the theme parks. I would looooooooove to live close to seaworld and get a yearly pass. I would go there every afternoon just to watch the dolphins. I did my bacherlor of science so that I could work with dolphins, but no luck so far!!
We were meant to be getting a big safari-themed theme park down here but it looks like it's probably not going to go ahead :(
-
Just got out the annual passes and noticed that they expire on sunday, and we want to go on Monday. I have emailed them to see if they will extend it for one day. So we'll have to wait and see.
That would be awesome to work with dolphins. They are beautiful. Ok, so you can get a job at Seaworld, and move to Brisbane!!
I haven't been on the Superman ride yet. I have only been there once since it opened and I had DD with me, and she wasn't tall enough to go on it. I won't go on it this time either. I am being over paranoid with everything I do, just in case I am UTD!!
Here's a list of crazy things I'm doing: :wall:
* No baths AT ALL - possibility for infection if water gets 'up there' (oh I miss my hot baths!!)
* No chocolate (or anything that contains caffeine - One day I'll learn how to spell that word!)
* No swimming pools - for the same reason as number one (I really don't think there's any harm, but as I said - I'm paranoid)
* No strenuous exercise, power walking is as tough as it gets
* Playing with my bbs on a regular basis, just incase they start to feel sore!! :ROFL:
Insanity at it's best!

Does anyone watch Friends? Rachel is pregnant. :(
-
An hour and a half, and nothing??? Where is everyone. Hang on, I get it. I'm the only one that doesn't have a life. :lol:
OK EMERGENCY. My EWCM the other day was not EWCM. Well I thought it was, but just now I have gone to the toilet, and someone has just cracked a dozen eggs up there!! I've never had it like this before, hence the reason I thought I had it the other day. I could have stretched this stuff from the ceiling to the floor just now.
OK so that's not the emergency. That's great that I have noticed it, here's the emergency ... my DH is out to dinner with work, and he's having drinks afterwards. I'm going to pick him up about 10pm and then I have to get him to :bd: with me. Ahhhh! I hope he has not had too much to drink. I WILL NOT STAND FOR REJECTION TONIGHT!!
So much for having a nap before I leave to pick him up!! How can I possibly sleep??
-
joey- wow it is lonley in here tonight, i am just felling so happy with my hcg BT results, i cannot stop going on about it.
-
Go on as much as you like. I am so happy for you! :hug:
I am so excited / nervous. 2 hours till I pick up DH and have to get him to DTD with me. I am feeling so very confident that if I manage to get him to cooperate, I will be screaming BFP in a couple of weeks!! :dance:
-
Hi joey & betty. Is quiet tonight. Betty, glad you are feeling so good about your results because they were great!!!
Joey - ewcm like that surely has to get the little swimmers to the egg this month!! Good luck!!! I agree with you about swimming pools, DH and I went on holiday earlier in the year before we started ttc again and I got the worst case of thrush I have ever had in my life and I blame that pool!!!
I saw the friends episode last night or the night before where Rachel went for an u/s and 'couldn't see the baby because it was so small' in that goofy comedy way. yeah right, I love the show but found that part very unrealistic.
-
AJC - I am a Friends freik. I have my phone alarm set to go off every week night at 5 mins to 6 so I can either sit down and watch, or tape the episode!! It's the only show that I watch religiously. I saw that episode you're talking about (of course I saw it). I think Rachel is a little spacey. Although I can't comment - I've never had an ultrasound at that stage. Will be with the next one though!! Can't wait!:dance:
-
From the sounds of that ewcm you're going to be having an u/s very soon!!!! :dance:
-
:pray: I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really HOPE SO!! :pray:
-
joey: good luck sweetheart...hope your DH is cooperative;);)
by the way, i was not happy with rachels pregnancy either!
