@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted Oh right I’ll ring tomorrow and ask them id worked myself in to such a state even though I had positive that it just went out of my mind! Fingers crossed for us both xx

Congrats too! They did nearly forget the number but it was really the only thing I was interested in as knew it was going to come back positive anyway

The nurse Sam this morning said they look for around 100+ but she's also seen successful pregnancies when it's been lower

I've booked into a private place on Saturday (MUMS) to have a follow up bHCG done (although won't get the result till Monday morning) as want some comfort that the numbers are doubling (or not!) - I had a ruptured ectopic last year and you get slow rising hcg with ectopics so I guess I'm just a lot more cautious of it happening again x

Yes it’s positive but forgot to ask for the number!! Did they say your number was low then? But congratulations xx

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted Yes I am 🙈.
I hadn’t even looked in to that!! Just looked now it’s a big old range for 4 weeks so fingers crossed for us both!!

itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted · 25/06/2019 17:35

But from what I've seen on google loads of people had lower hcg numbers and went on to have a viable pregnancy but I think for me 100 is a psychological threshold to reach!

itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted · 25/06/2019 17:35

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF ha how wierd! You in West Midlands by any chance!

I read somewhere (I spend too much time on google) that hcg at certain DPO needs to be in a certain range to have the highest chance of it being a viable pregnancy - i can't remember if it was over 100 but it was in that range I think

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF mine is 730am at Create - I'm sure on my last failed round I got a call about 2/3pm with the result - I'm hoping for anything over 100 🤞🤞🤞

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted What time is yours at mine is at 7.45 but the it’ll be the waiting that will drive me nuts!!

Congratulations! How exciting!

Worlds0kayestmum · 25/06/2019 09:17

Congratulations to you both. There's nothing quite like seeing those pink lines 😊

itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted · 25/06/2019 09:15

I feel completely fine other than being tired too - I didn't have any symptoms with DD either - I think I was sick maybe once when I was 14 weeks . I know I won't sleep much tonight before blood test tomorrow!

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted Yay so please you got your digital positive!!! If it makes you feel any better my Frer wasn’t much darker so panicked and did a clear blue early response not a digital and it was a strong positve! I’m like you my excitement is bubbling with in but at the same time I know once I get tomorrow done even if the hcg is confirmed I’ll then be counting down to the early scan and still testing! I wasn’t like this with dd but then she is from a previous relationship shop and didn’t have to do ICSI! How are you feeling in yourself I am exhausted and keep waking up stupidly early!

Morning @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF
So I got a BFP with Boots digital this morning - my FRER only looks a smidgen darker than yesterday though so not feeling too confident yet.

It's crap isn't that this whole process takes away the joy and hope in getting a BFP - for me it's just another hurdle at the moment and I can't bring myself to get excited yet

BFP ✅
Not chemical - tbc
Not ectopic - tbc
Stay pregnant - tbc

How did you get on with your testing?

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted Well I’ve just done a digital as I just wanted a bit more of a confirmation! And I can’t believe it I didn’t think it would show up yet!! I will still be testing tomorrow and Wednesday! Sorry to hear about your eptopic that must of been awful for you!

Erm symptoms none really but I have been feeling really tired but then I jist put that down to me stressing over the Tww!

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF
My OTD is Wednesday and yup will definitely be testing tomorrow! (And the next day and the day after that! 🤦‍♀️)
I did try a Boots digital at lunchtime but it was BFN - I know I'll be nervous until I move on to digitals but then again my last really good line progression ended in ectopic so I know you can never really tell and each pregnancy is different

I also have ZERO symptoms- literally nothing!
How are you feeling?? X
