HCG is 206.6 which is brilliant. It is doubling every 48 hours which is perfect. Having more bloods on monday to check all is well but so far so good. Doc is not worried. initially thought it was low but not abnormal now happy that it is doubling as it should. Not out of the woods but it seems my little bean/beans are hanging on in there.

Thanks for all support.

littlegem- just saw your post, WOW, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! you must be absolutely thrilled. xxxx

this thread has been so lucky for so many of us, fingers crossed for more xx

jazz- im so pleased that you have got some positive news xx

TMI coming up, yesterday ive had a bit of light brown discharge, not a lot, nothing when i wipe, but noticable on a pad, also usual mild af type cramps, and pressure like sensation in uterus area, i rested and slept for remainder of the day,the rest did relieve the pain.
symptons seem to have gone this morning, is there any need to worry or do you think its everything expanding down there, its got me abit worried as i havent spotted at all until now x

also, im meant to be going an all day wedding today, do i go and enjoy the day, or stay at home and rest for the day x any advice would be greatfully recieved x

Jazz · 14 Nov 2007

Hunny, Go and enjoy your day. Brown blood is old blood and nothing to worry about. Babies are just snuggling in.

Thanks for thinking of me.

Tracey A · 04 Nov 2010

Hey Lisa

Cant say exactly as DE cycle but its around the middle of this month which seems forever away....oh well, at least we ARE in july now. No real symptoms for me except v sore boobs and feeling shaky most of day, some of which I attribute to the drugs I am on.

I have a busier week this week so hope it flies by

Take care
Tx

Lisa.Bell · 09 Jun 2012

Hope it does for you Tracey, there is nothing worse than time goin sooooo slow, but like you said at least were in July now so hopefully be here before you know it! Its annoyin isn't it that the drugs are the same symptoms as pregnancy, Seems a bit cruel 2 keep us all guessing. Take Care and i got fingers and toes crossed everything goes great for ya xxx

Jazz · 14 Nov 2007

Hi Ladies,

Just thought I would pop on and say thanks for all your kind words. I am going for 3rd HCG test at 12 today. Really hoping for a good rise. Have been feeling shakey and a little sick with nerves all weekend. I know I had a doubling last week but I know levels are still very low for 6 weeks. Well I would be 6 weeks today and levels should really be above 1080. That would be a miricle considering they were at 206 on Friday. I had compacting morula's transferred so maybe that they are a bit slow and I have also read that IVF mums tend to have lower HCG levels so trying to keep up some hope.

Very nervous today but should get results at about 5pm.

Jazz · 14 Nov 2007

Hi Ladies,

HCG is 407.3 today. It has doubled but seems to have taken 73 hours. I don't think this is good but only just outside of normal. My levels would suggest that I am only 5 weeks which I guess is possible. I had slow embrtos initially and they could have implanted later than I thought. I was hoping for higher numbers but if taken from first HCG on 28th they are doubling at 63 hours which is a little better. Will do them again on Wednesday. Going to try and work tomorrow for distraction just hope I have little fighters in there. It seems so so far.

Thanks for all your support.

Lisa.Bell · 09 Jun 2012

Keep your chin well and truly high Jazz, The numbers are rising. Like i said before little fighters i think Wink

All the best hun xxx

spud · 17 Nov 2011

Hi glad to see so many recent success stories on this thread, won't mention you all as I'm sure to miss one of you. Tense times until you get to safer week numbers but you're doing so well and gives us all hope!

My OTD was yesterday and bfn, also done a test on Sat as couldn't wait and negative too. I had been having AF cramps as normal at the end of last werek, thats been my only symptom The whole time and also had cramp on 1st failed cycle so knew I had a bfn.

Care told me to keep taking drugs and retest on Wed as still no AF but said not to get hopes up. Had a little bit of pale pink spotting yesterday so assume AF is just delayed because i didnt react well to stims and was day 18 before had egg collection. I've already had a glass of wine, cut the grass booked onto a 10km run in Aug and bought 3 boxes of tampax so you could say I've given up, if I didn't lol about it id cry!

Hey ho Feel i cped with cycle 2 a lot better than first so will take stock and have another go, just a shame we cant get anything good enough to freeze!

Hope you guys in 2 ww manage to stay sane and good luck to you all.

Xx
