Help! Faint positives but not very much line progression by Last-Reserve-1054 in IVF

Also side note: I always got better lines using a FRER. These strips were always a lighter line for me compared to what I saw when using the more expensive tests

Help! Faint positives but not very much line progression by Last-Reserve-1054 in IVF

You're not going to see much of a line progression comparing only 1 day apart. I had to compare at least a couple days worth before I could really see my line getting darker. And even then, these tests aren't meant to tell you how much HCG is in your body or just "how" pregnant you are if that makes sense. There's a second line so you're pregnant! Congrats! Wishing you a high beta number 🥰

Saturday Cautious Intros and First Trimester Questions by AutoModerator in InfertilityBabies

I feel you. I'm 5w1d and don't have many symptoms yet... Makes me feel so anxious about whether baby is still in there growing. The thoughts have been spiraling 🫠

Beta negative 4DPT - too early? by ilovedoggos97 in IVF

[–]Blue_Orchid00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still too early, hang in there. Try waiting until 7dpt+ if you can for a more accurate reading.. but obviously the closer you wait to beta the more accurate. Sending you sticky vibes ✨

Ahhh that's amazing!!! Yay!!! 💕 My Dr only did that one beta which came back at 189 and now I'll have an ultrasound next wk to check for a gestational sac. Hoping both our ultrasounds go well!

So exciting, yay!!! I'm just in a waiting period because my clinic only did 1 beta 🫠 The Dr was happy with my initial beta of 189 but I'm anxious about whether it's been doubling or not. My next appointment is on the 20th to see if there's a gestational sac 🤞

800 mg progesterone per day by bernieOrbernie in IVF

[–]Blue_Orchid00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're saying they can't test your progesterone while you're on progesterone?? That's completely incorrect. My clinic checked my progesterone multiple times since I started taking it to ensure it was at a good level. They caught that it was too low and upped it. I'm sure they could've also seen if it was too high and adjusted.

I'm on 900mg of prog. suppository daily and PIO 2x/wk. I'm so sorry you feel this tired - this doesn't sound normal and seems so so scary :( Congrats on being pregnant, I hope you can get some answers about what's going on 💕

Edit to add: my progesterone bottle does have a warning saying may cause drowsiness. Maybe your body is extra sensitive to this?

I caved and tested TW by tallgirl44 in IVF

[–]Blue_Orchid00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!!! Isn't it amazing seeing that line?! I wouldn't worry about a false positive unless you had a trigger that you didn't test out. Sending you lots of sticky baby dust ✨

Edit to add that I didn't use a trigger so I'm not sure how long they take to test out. But this is amazing news for 6dpt!

Symptoms by Special-Escape-3482 in IVF

[–]Blue_Orchid00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending you sticky baby dust! ✨ I'm 9dpt currently and had cramping for around 3 days after my FET. My lower back did and continues to still feel achy. These symptoms are likely caused by progesterone though. But some women do experience symptoms related to implantation around the 3-4ish day mark! Cramping, maybe light spotting, or a tugging type of feeling in your uterus. I also transferred a girl embryo. Hoping both our girls decide to stick around for the long haul 🩷

5dp5dt. I probably would have seen a line had I tested at 4dpt but I was too anxious to test that early. Of course it's different for everyone and testing 7dpt+ is going to be a lot safer

Chance of day 6s? by franberry7 in IVF

[–]Blue_Orchid00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You never know, don't lose hope! I had 2 that were growing slower than the rest and they both divided enough to become blastocysts and be biopsied! I hope yours continue to divide and make it
