I had light flow of red blood, more than spotting but not like, filling up a pad an hour type heavy bleeding. Really painful cramping that even 2 extra strength Tylenol barely touched. That lasted 4 hours. Then super light spotting yesterday and cramping but not as bad and today it’s just a...

Hey everyone ! Just got back my HCG levels today at 16DPIUI and it was 467iu/l and was wondering what y’all had. I don’t see my RE until June 3rd and have to do a repeat test in 7 days. Thanks !

What are you shopping for? What are you eating? Tell us what's in your fridge! We're also anxiously awaiting updates from /@bisi007 as she went in last night to be induced. :) You've got all our love, lady!

Hello Everybody! It’s been a bit of an anxiety inducing pregnancy so far and I’m only 9w1d. 34 years old and this is my first pregnancy. On what was supposed to be my 8w2d ultrasound, they changed my estimated due date to 12/4/2024 instead of 11/25, officially making me 7 weeks pregnant at...

I really am struggling so bad I called out of work today. So I used inito to help time my iui this cycle and I got a bfp on 8dpo. I continued to test with inito which is NOT recommended and god it’s messed me up. My “LH” (presumably HCG) dropped today (12dpo) on it and boy has it sent me into a...

Hello ladies! I've been meaning to give an update for a while now. Let's see, where to begin. I forgot to mention in my Birth Story post that I ended up getting 2 small tears that needed stitches. One happened to be near my urethra. I'm not sure if this was a factor in what happened almost a...

My fiancée (32NB) and myself (30F) just found out we’re roughly 5 weeks pregnant this past weekend. This will be our first pregnancy/baby and we’re so excited to see where this journey takes us. But I’m struggling to get my hopes up, especially since I work with an asshole. My coworker (50F)...

I’ve had two miscarriages in the past 6 months, and I’m currently in my third pregnancy. First pregnancy : 6w4d my HCG was 2126. I miscarried at 7w. Second pregnancy : 7w5d my HCG was 3882. I miscarried at 8w4d. This pregnancy, my doctor is getting me in a whole bunch to check my HCG...

I have been tracking my blood HCG and progesterone levels since for the last week or so. Things are looking OK (my HCG betas started low), but today my progesterone dropped, and it freaked me out. I have left a message for my clinic but they aren’t open until tomorrow. They always seem way too...

As I cannot post pics here, here is a post I just made with picture references! Prefacing this by saying I’m a very anxious person in general and experienced a CP two months ago hence the worry and seeking reassurance 🙃 On 11DPO I got the faintest of faint positives on a FRER. In fact it took...

My LMP was 8th Jan. This makes me currently 5+5. I have long, irregular cycles, but I always get distinct, sore ovulation pain exactly 2 weeks before my period comes. I had that ovulation pain 18 days ago and if I calculate my pregnancy based on ovulation date and not LMP it puts me at 4+3...

The nurse called and told me my hcg is low, it’s only 707 IU/L and she said it should be over 1000 at 4 weeks. Really really nervous. Anyone been though this?

10+3 and just got a call that there is an antibody that could be concerning and they need bloodwork from my partner and further bloodwork from me. They didn't want to worry me but I asked what it was and they said anti-e or anti-E (we were talking on the phone so not sure which). Discussed...

Hey ladies!! are you worried you have GD? worried about your test and failing it and what its going to do to you? Have diabetes and not doing so hot keeping up on everything? lets be there for each other! Here is some info on diets that was given to me by my clinic. its been a great...

I honestly don't understand what is so hard about waiting minutes at a health clinic to get a free vaccination in order to protect your future grand baby, great grand baby and niece/nephew from possible diseases. The responses I have gotten so far: "Pretty sure I have mine." - Okay, fine. Can...

9 weeks 2 days. I feel feverish but my highest temp is 37.3 c or 99 f. I have stuffy nose and dry cough. No body aches just head ache. I am nott also feeling extremely cold. Not taking anything. Just water and fruits. Is this a cold or flu? I’m very scared right now.

Hi all! I JUST found out I was pregnant (officially, blood test) yesterday, so figured I'd put in my 2 cents! The doc's office didn't let me know how far along I was (or if the blood test even showed that), but based on my LMP/date(s) of BD, I estimate that I'm about 2 weeks along so far (in my...

Got BFP 2 weeks ago, was surprised/confused because I'd just had what thought was AF, and all BFN before that. Went to Dr, who had me poas BFN. Sent me home. Went home confused, poas, BFP, the most obvious one of the lot. Sigh. So I've been sitting here at home getting both BFP, BFN, and...

This is my first pregnancy and even though I’m reading everything I find on the internet, I still feel confused about beta hCG rising times. There’s so much emphasis put on how it shouldn’t be too slow, but what about too fast? I just got results from my second blood test after 3 days (70,5...

Birth Story tl;dr version: ** Lucas Alexander was born at 7:25 a.m. on March 31st. I caved at 4 cm after 13 hours of back labor and got the epidural. Best decision I ever made, though I really beat myself up about it at the time. Tips are below, **but here's the pictures, because...well, let's...
