Ronda, Do you know how many DPOs you are? Are you getting another blood draw on Friday? I would not be concerned at all that you couldn't see anything on the u/s this early. As for the twinges, I know that I had them along with quite a bit of cramping early on. Scared me to death! My doctor at the time was convinced that Olivia was an ectopic because he couldn't see anything on the u/s starting at levels of 600. With having the TR and getting the metho shot three months before he was ready to give it to me again even though my numbers were doubling just fine. He even sent me for liver function tests, etc in preparation to give me the shot. When my levels were over 1700 and he still didn't see anything he tried to talk me into take the shot that day. But, after thinking long and hard I refused since my numbers were doubling fine and said to give it a few more days. Went back the next day and there she was. My numbers were over 2000 before they could see anything. My point of all of this, I understand why your doctor has a heighten sense of concern for your situation. Just make sure that if you are feeling fine and if your numbers are doubling you don't let them jump the gun just because you have already had one ectopic. If I would have done what he wanted I wouldn't have my beautiful princess. I think your first number is great and I pray that this is your sticky little bean. Hoping to hear that you got a draw done on Friday and you have nice doubling numbers, and as hard as it is not to...DON'T STRESS TOO MUCH!!!!

CD 32 Wednesday May 27, 2009 at 2pm, HCG 159. CD 33 Thursday May 28, 2009 ultra sound didn't show anything. This HCG is higher than any other level I have gotten ever! But since I had an ectopic recently in January, my doctor's office is treating this as an ectopic until proven other wise. I am having a little twinge of pain on my right side (the only side that I have a tube left) every now and then. I am thinking and hoping that it is what I think I have read somewhere before that the ovary develops some what of a cyst (corpus lutium) that secrets a hormone until the placenta can take over. If any of you have any information on this, I would love for you to share.

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!! Something told me to log on tonight to see if there was any news!!!! Congrats Ronda!!!!!
I know you are worried about the numbers thing, and I can totally relate after having those two bfps before Olivia that were very, very stressful. Just please be careful!
Keep checking in!
Lisa, I still stalk your chart every now and then heehee!
Always thinking about you all and hoping to hear more good news!

Ronda!!! I am hardly on here anymore, and the day I check, I see your wonderful news!! CONGRATS!!! We're still plugging along and trying without trying too hard. It just got to be too stressful and too expensive with all the testing, etc. So, for us now, if it happens, it happens. I still try to chart, but if I'm away from home, I dont keep track. So, my chart doesn't always look so great.
Please keep us posted!! I hope the others see your great news too!

It's been over a month since any one has posted! What's up with that? Well, just wanted to let you all know that I got a BFP yesterday!! YEAH!!! My LMP is 4/26/09. I'm on cycle day 32 and I am scared to death to get my blood drawn and start the whole number waiting game!! The other two pregnancies that I had after TR only went to cycle day 38, so I may very well wait until after that to get my blood drawn. I will keep you posted. Take care and know that I miss you all very much. Ronda

Jen.....Olivia is super adorable Thank you for posting.
Just an update on me.... This cycle is my last and final round on Clomid, it is my 6th cycle and doctors don't recommend any more then 6. They say after six rounds there is a higher chance of getting ovarian cancer! yikes!!! I'm very positive this round! I did 100mg of clomid CD3-7 and a trigger shot on CD12. I know I ovulated yesterday so I hope this is my month!! I'm in the dreadful 2WW now We are in the process of packing and buying a new home so maybe it will go by fast! I go in on Thursday for CD21 progesterone blood work. I'll keep you posted!

Good Morning Ladies, Well I had blood work done yesterday and is a big fat negative. Maybe you are right Roxann.I dont know. I didnt do nothin this month. I had decided to take break. I dont know what it could be.I am 41 but I think its too early for menopause and to just stop with no symptoms doenst make since and I cant be pregnant cause the blood work couldnt be wrong. I made appt for Monday to the Obgyn but what are they gonna do? I am really frustrated. Great pictures Roxann. Just amazing Wow, Ms Olivia is 5 mos already. Time flies. Enjoy every moment Jen. Thanks for your input ladies I really appreciate it. Tara CD38

Roxann - A side of you I've never seen before! LOL!!! I have to say the pics are pretty cool.
Tara- Any news????
Can you all believe that Olivia turned 5 months old on Monday??? She is getting so big and you will never believe this, but she growls! Its hilarious and something that her brothers taught her to do. So, no more cute little baby coos right now. My pretty little girl sounds like a wild animal! But, what can I expect with three older brothers.

Tara.......Are you temping? Maybe you ovulated later then expected? I would keep testing and use only First Response Early Response. Keep us posted I hope you get your BFP
Also, I wanted to let you guys know I posted the pics of my laparoscopy in my album. Check it out!

Good Afternoon Ladies, Hope everyone is in good spirits today. Just wanted your thoughts on my situation. AF is 7 days late and I have gotten 2 BFN. My Obgyn said to wait a couple of weeks. My question is why if I am not getting a BFP?. I didnt do Clomid this month and I think I O'd around the 24th. Since I was taking the clomid AF would show on day 30.I have no symptoms just a slight headache today it was worse on Sunday. Just dont know weather to get my hopes up or worry. Please let me know what you ladies think. Thanks Tara CD35

Sorry for not checking in soonier but you know how it is when baseball season starts up! Anyway..... the results from the lap were good, my left ovary had adhesions on it that my RE removed, He also said that the left fibria was closed, which you can see in the pics but he opened it up. I also had some cyst on my left ovary. Very mild endometriosis but the best thing about it was I got to see my tubes! My RE pointed out the repair site to me. They look so pretty The pics I got are like 6 to a sheet, In order to post I will have to try to take pics of my pics and then post! I'll do that this weekend and place in my photo album. The weird thing about this whole deal was that since I told the RE we would have to wait to do IVF until June he kind of just gave up on me, he said well there is nothing I can do for you until then. I was like there is nothing you could give me to stop early ovulation? He said no! I was like geez......Is that all an RE does is IVF???????? My goodness he could of at least talked more about my options!!!! I just told him that DH and I were still going to try all natural until then! This cycle is going great! I think I ovulated yesterday...CD12...yippie! finally a normal ovulation. I think pain meds can cause early ovulation?? just my own opinion there. Well I'll post my pics of Dr.Bergers works this weekend......(I'm sure if I framed the pic's of my repaired tubes...people would really think I was crazy!)
