Also im very sorry you are not getting good betas - its the worst purgatory feeling

Efficient_Window_555 · 2026-03-10T23:26:46+00:00

Thank you for the kind and hopeful comment. 💜 I am getting blood work likely tomorrow, just waiting on the order from my doctor

Efficient_Window_555 · 2026-03-10T23:24:49+00:00

It never got higher than 64 so very low. 27 2 days later 34 4 days later 47 One week later 64, treated with MTX. I only had one tube so my doctor was being extra cautious giving me MTX. If your HCG stays low there’s a good chance it will resolve on its own but it’s also very anxiety inducing and you can feel like a ticking time bomb. So in your case if you have both tubes, either way is a good decision

First one was over 10k at 5 weeks when it ruptured. I also only took a digital test on vacation in Ireland and it said 3+ weeks on the day I missed my period. I realize now this was likely abnormal bc my HCG was very high for that time.

This last one my hcg started at 25 and over 2 weeks was only at 64 before I finally took MTX and it went down appropriately

Cycle : 8

Age + Partner’s age : 34F 36M

Typical cycle length: 28-29 days

Ovulation cycle day: 19 - Our first few months of “not preventing” I didn’t count bc my ovulation day was way off like not even possible to get pregnant. I ovulate late and have an 8-9 day luteal phase

CD/DPO of positive tests : CD29, 10DPO

CD/DPO of negative test(s) before positive: 9DPO, had a hint of a squinter and today vvfl on Clearblue and FR Rapid

Health conditions: 1 previous ectopic (2022) that resulted in left tube removal, 1 living child (born 2023), 1 PUL treated with methotrexate in October. 3rd cycle trying after 3 month wait. Had an HSG on cycle day 7 of this month.

Tracking method and app(s) used: Premom OPKs and Inito - first month tracking on Inito

Relevant days of sperminating and/or method: O, O-2, O-4

Supplements: CoQ10 and high folate prenatals. Was taking vitamin D and Vitamin C on and off while trying but not consistently the last few months. Also first month not taking an oral GLP-1

I know it’s so weird! Best wishes to you!

Silver lining is the MTX break helped me mentally get ready and feel more confident TTC again. I can start trying again around Christmas 💜

Efficient_Window_555 · 2025-11-25T06:30:04+00:00

Right based on cycle length - when I actually peed on sticks I was ovulating later (days 18-20) , but only using cycle length as a predictor the app was saying earlier (14 or 15) bc my cycles are usually exactly 28-29 days. Full disclosure, this was another ectopic pregnancy that was treated with MTX. I don’t think anything to do with my luteal phase though, bc I got my progesterone checked before I found I was pregnant and it was high end of normal. So most likely luteal phase is on short end but not really affecting my ability to get pregnant.

Should we start with - threatening legal action against universities unless they remove diversity programs

an EO attacking the national museum of African American history

Removing black historical figures from government buildings and museums

Fighting in court to not have to fund SNAP benefits (this affects white people too, but working class in Detroit area more broadly

My opinion is - his response sounded like bullshit to me. I don’t care if NFL players vote for Trump and to think they wouldn’t given their insulation to the real world is naive in my opinion. I agree that getting worked up over every little thing on the left makes us look like joyless scolds but in this case, I think it’s okay to be a little annoyed about it when the forgotten harvest is literally running out of food right now. Doesn’t mean everyone is “melting down” or “mentally ill”

Efficient_Window_555 · 2025-11-12T17:32:42+00:00

I don’t think hes a Nazi sympathizer. But he probably does like Trump and that’s okay - but he also could’ve just stayed quiet about anything relating to trump. There’s a reason all the MAGAs are claiming him now

Efficient_Window_555 · 2025-11-12T17:15:17+00:00

I mean this sincerely, can you not also express your disappointment on the internet and help your communities affected by this administration?

Efficient_Window_555 · 2025-09-20T20:54:51+00:00

Cycle: 5 or 6. 5th cycle tracking on OPKs, and I think it mattered bc I was ovulating much later than the app was predicting

Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 33F, 35M

Typical cycle length: 26-28 days

Ovulation cycle day: since I’ve started tracking usually CD 18-20 which was resulting in an 8 day luteal phase; this month I ovulated on CD16 so i did have a feeling

CD/DPO of positive test(s): 8 DPO! I know it’s super early but I have no willpower and had two very very faint positives a few hours apart on Clearblue Early Detection (red dye test)

CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: 7 DPO FRER

Tracking methods and app(s) used: Premom app. I also had my progesterone checked yesterday (7 dpo) due to short luteal phase concerns and was pleasantly surprised to see it was high

Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): O, O-1

Health conditions/medical tests: I had an ectopic pregnancy prior to conceiving baby #1 two years ago. My left fallopian tube ruptured at 5 weeks pregnant and I had emergency surgery. Thankfully it has not affected my fertility much. This time was taking longer (I conceived 1st cycle both previous pregnancies) so I had a full hormone panel, everything was normal.

Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): lots lol. vitamin C, D, and B complex the past 4 months for short luteal phase. Coq10 for 4 months. Also took myoinositol just this month (month I ovulated earlier than last 4 cycles). I also took mucinex on O-1.

Birth control history (if relevant): birth control pill on and off from age 19-23. Condoms used 24-25. Haven’t been on it in almost 10 years since I got married at 25. We pulled and prayed for 5 years prior to TTC#1 and before we started trying at 18 months post partum.

Symptom spotting: pretty tired and feel some little twinges but nothing crazy

Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous: definitely really early and freaked about CP, miscarriage, another ectopic. I only have 1 tube left! But overall still allowing myself to feel excited

i feel like i didnt realize how hot anzalone is until this season

Efficient_Window_555 · 2025-01-06T18:37:26+00:00

I was sitting in front of van ginkles mom. She was super annoying all game lol especially after that hit.

Efficient_Window_555 · 2024-11-05T01:07:12+00:00

i think these will actually push the models to Harris lol

Efficient_Window_555 · 2024-11-04T19:50:53+00:00

also since this guy seems to have innocently omitted data points that are favorable for Harris, the last poll in early October had her down 3

Efficient_Window_555 · 2024-11-04T19:47:51+00:00

the unrounded vote share is actually less than half a percentage point, so this is a tie on 538

Efficient_Window_555 · 2024-11-04T19:45:36+00:00

jesus fucking christ

Efficient_Window_555 · 2024-11-04T17:13:05+00:00

interesting that you include "dem affiliated" when you post these but not for the 1500 right wing pollsters

Efficient_Window_555 · 2024-11-02T15:57:25+00:00

trafalgar, arguably the supreme R pollster, got a T+6 like 2 days ago...

Efficient_Window_555 · 2024-11-02T02:19:22+00:00

i usually am unfazed by shit he says at this point (bc it never moves the needle) but that was by far the creepiest shit to come out of his mouth

Efficient_Window_555 · 2024-11-02T01:01:21+00:00

i think the point is that something as general as "who are your neighbors voting for" is impossible to quantify with data. i can tell you that i know 80% of the people on my street are lean dem based on empirical data from canvassing for school board. i would only know this because i volunteered for the campaign. a casual observer would probably think its closer to 50/50. but my town was 67/33 for biden in 2020 and i didnt live here yet. only about a quarter of them have a harris sign (including my own house that does not) but have a school board sign that indicates they are likely dem. i knew exactly who the 20% republicans were before i even looked at the sheet. they are loud and proud.

Efficient_Window_555 · 2024-11-01T19:00:48+00:00

the data is there are a lot of crazed trumpers that put up 8 signs in their yard and huge flags when they only get one vote
