Assisted conception after recurrent miscarriage part 5

[Mel3062]

Hope this is right ladies ...

Good luck for tomorrow ari I would have caved in too!
Btw home health sell 4 frer tests (2 double packs) for £11.49 and free delivery so I buy mine from there normally. That's not an offer as they are always that price. Looks like boots is cheaper at the moment though!

Well ari have you tested???

Hey sue ... yes indeed and ... I got a strong line!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

Unbelievable amounts of courage needed to look at that damn test this morning, but there it was! Now I know that's just the first hurdle, have to see decent doubling times now, off for first bloods shortly, but so relieved at least I don't have the dreaded faint line to worry about!

Yey! What a great news Ari

Brilliant news Ari. Yippeee

Oh Ari, I'm so pleased for you! All the stressing was worth it!

So how many days is that technically since implantation is likely to have happened?

Thanks ladies :) I'm not quite brown .. they were 5 day blasts, I think implantation usually happens within the next 2-3 days. Apparently this is what happens with a 5-day transfer, if anyone's interested:

0dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
1dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
2dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
3dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
4dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
5dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells & fetal cells
6dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
7dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
8dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
9dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on
HPT

That should have said of course I'm not quite SURE brown ... no idea where my word went!

Fascinating and amazing! If that'd been me, I'd have been testing 6dpt then! :)

Ah, but with Serum we have hCG shots on the day of ET, 2 days later and 2 days after that, so that hCG is still in your system for a few days after 5dp5dt. Testing wouldn't tell you if it's an implanted embryo or the shot you're picking up. :)

Oh golly gosh I'm so happy for you!! Immune response indeed!;) congrats xx

Wow fantastic news!!!! Fc your body does its thing now!!

Thanks ladies ... fc my body does the RIGHT thing and my immune system buggers right off! :)

Fabulous news Ari been checking on here since 6am ... Intrallipids now ?

Thanks duggs :) Yep, intralipids already booked for first thing tomorrow morning - I was being super-positive, you see, I'd already booked both lots of blood tests and my intralipids 2 days after my ET. Just in case :)

Oh holy cr@p girls .. I just got my results through. I'm in shock, and now worried about something completely different. bhCG came back at 1,591.0 .... ! 12dp5dt and that high usually indicates more than one. I can't tell OH, he'll freak out!

OMG Ari, I have just come on to see how you got on and was crossing my fingers that you were going to have a line! That's fantastic news, I'm so happy for you. You really deserve to have things work out for you. And even more OMG at the beta. I don't know much about them, but that number is high!!

Thanks breezy, I'm in shock!

Wrote a reply earlier but didn't go through. Ari I am do pleased for you!! I was scared to look on here and had my fingers physically crossed,
The hcg must have been a bit of a shock, triplets?!!!!

God no pebbles, I truly hope not! I'm now praying I just have a particularly strong singleton ... unlikely, but possible :)

Wow, Ari. Did the give any idea of what levels they would expect in different scenarios?

No, but there's lots of info 'out there' on this subject. Best I guess is betabase - www.betabase.info/showBasicChart.php?type=Single and www.betabase.info/showBasicChart.php?type=Twin . I don't even want to consider the Triplet page!!

Wow!! Yes duggs I've looked since 5! X

lol Thanks ladies :) mel, I take it that was pred-insomnia??
