    Crying my eyes out over low HCG at 10 DPO. Is this a chemical?

    @bskicrash1 If I’m getting the conversion right, 150 is way too much and could interfere with your results. I believe ug and mcg are the same thing, and the recommended daily is 0.03mcg Here is an article about how it can interfere and the dosing...

    Crying my eyes out over low HCG at 10 DPO. Is this a chemical?

    @bskicrash1 The actual value this early doesn’t mean much. Some people haven’t even had implantation yet at that point. However, I looked at your tests to see like progression since you should start to see some progression after 3 days of positives. I believe I’ve seen other people in the...

    What is going on

    @yommie I’ve had pregnancies where spotting led to miscarriage and pregnancies where spotting led to live birth. I’ve had pregnancies with no spotting at all that turned out to be a missed miscarriage. I’m on my 5th pregnancy, 1 living child, and they have all been drastically different. My...

    First early US: what to expect?

    @taramiss Not your question but just wanted to assure you that some of us are just hit with bad luck and it’s not reflective of your future chances. I also have 1 LC and then had two losses related to random chance chromosomal defects. It’s my understanding that monosomy x is one of those...

    7 day doubling time

    @apologeticsguy Is your OB ordering your HCG? Or just your progesterone? It is very very odd to have HCG checked once you can detect a HB on ultrasound. Like, pointless. In fact, HCG will start dropping between 9-12w. It doesn’t just continuously double. There is nothing that HCG can tell...

    hCG rising but not doubling. Miscarriage risk?

    @gentlemangamer At this point betas can’t tell you much and you should have an ultrasound to know what’s happening. I had spotting and bleeding from 6w-13w with my LC and with my current pregnancy (almost 16w now). Oddly, they both started at exactly the same GA (6w3d) and both ended almost...

    Low sperm count & motility - is this fixable?

    @rickylee Only throwing this out there in case it applies - my husband’s SA came back with low motility after one a few years earlier had been normal. He had been on a low fat diet for a few weeks during this second SA and apparently a diet restrictive in fat/calories can reduce...

    @josephjurg Thank you! That’s consistent with what I’ve read regarding oral vs vaginal blood levels.

    Experience stopping progesterone suppositories?

Conceived first cycle after period returned, positive test 1/16 and we had a consult with an RE scheduled to discuss...
