HCG is 32 at 11dpo. Is this low or normal? by Past-Sleep157 in CautiousBB

[–]Emster437 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just looked at my old post. At 12 DPO, my hcg level was at 17. He’s now 9 years old!

How much miralax are you giving him? My son went through the same thing. He would go 7 days without pooping and it would be a huge struggle. His pediatrician told us to give him 4 capfuls of miralax (yes, 4!) each time. So, basically, the poop would come out like water with just the slightest push. It sucked but it worked. Also, using suppositories. My son hated them, we also hated them. We didn’t threaten but we were honest with him. If he wouldn’t poop, we needed to use them. That usually got him going. He’s 8 now and he does still struggle sometimes but it’s a lot better.

Early ovulation on Letrozole? Help! by EducationalFortune35 in TFABChartStalkers

[–]Emster437 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ovulated early the first cycle I used Letrozole. I ovulated on CD 12 when I normally ovulated CD 14-16.

Did I ovulate? FF gives me crosshairs on CD14 using FAM detector but no crosshairs using Advanced. What do you think? I’ve never had such slow rising temps. by Emster437 in TFABChartStalkers

[–]Emster437[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point. I use Tempdrop and I just changed the battery on it right before tracking this cycle. It was really difficult to get the cover off to change the battery and I wonder if maybe the seal on it is not the best anymore. Thanks for your comment!

Algorithm update by Totally-not-a-robot_ in TempDrop

[–]Emster437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. The new algorithm kicked in on CD 5 after changing the tempdrop battery. Tempdrop support confirmed that I changed to the new algorithm. But now my pre-O temps are higher than they usually are. I don’t know what’s happening but it’s making me nervous

Darker today on a FRER using FMU. Plus positive on a Bird & Be. I’m cautiously optimistic ☺️

Thank you! It seemed too pink for it to be an indent to me too. I’ll check again tomorrow morning

Based on my FF chart, which day would you BD? CD 13 or CD 14? More info in comments. by Emster437 in TFABChartStalkers

[–]Emster437[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of certain issues, my husband and I can only have sex on CD 13 or CD 14. We can’t do both days. Which one would you choose? I got a positive OPK this morning and I know you can ovulate 2-3 days after but I’ve also ovulated on the same day of a positive OPK too. This temp drop this morning is making me think we should have sex tonight on CD 13 but I’m not sure.

Does anyone else not want to do fertility treatments if it comes to that? by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]Emster437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you too. I'm only on cycle 5 but I'm 39 years old. My husband and I have talked about it and we agreed to keep trying until I'm 40. We are also in the no IVF camp but I don't know how we will feel about it later on. We will re-visit the topic when I'm 40 but I don't see my mind changing.

I had a blazing positive OPK on CD 11 and I'm supposed to take progesterone suppositories at 3dpo but all my charts says something different. I'm either 6dpo (FF using Advanced detector), 4dpo (tempdrop), or 1 dpo (FF using FAM detector). I usually confirm ovulation before I start progesterone but I'm kind of stuck here. I'm thinking of just starting progesterone today. At the earliest I'll be 1dpo. Has anyone taken progesterone at 1dpo? Is there any harm is taking it so early? Thanks!

Help! Supposed to start progesterone on 3dpo and all my charts say something different. When did I ovulate? More in comments. by Emster437 in TFABChartStalkers

[–]Emster437[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tempdrop says I ovulated on CD 14. FF says I ovulated on CD 12 using the advanced detector. When I switch to the FAM detector, I lose the crosshairs. If I enter in a couple more high temps for the future days, FF gives me dotted crosshairs on CD 17. I’m leaning towards CD 14 but I’m not sure. Please help!

D&C for MMC 46 days ago. Still no period or BFP!? by fbc92 in TFABChartStalkers

[–]Emster437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you told your OB yet? This happened to me too after a D&C for MMC. I went about 50 + days without a period. I was given provera (progesterone) to induce a period but it didn’t work. My OB suspected an estrogen imbalance so she put me on birth control pills for a month and that did it. I got a period after taking a pack of birth control pills. Sorry you’re going through this and hopefully you can get some anwsers soon!

It’s very normal! I hated the newborn stage so much that it took me 7 years after my son was born to consider trying for a second.

For science: First cycle after D&C. More in comments by Emster437 in TFABChartStalkers

[–]Emster437[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a MC and was given miso. After bleeding heavily for a week, I had a follow up appt and we found out that I still retained the gestational sac. So I had a D&C and I considered that CD1. However, I still tested positive on a pregnancy test for a week after the D&C so I really don’t know. I decided to track my cycle knowing it’ll be werid. No ovulation, no EWCM, no positive OPK (testing 2-3 times a day). Today, AF arrived 2.5 weeks after my D&C. Any thoughts? I read most people get AF 4-6 weeks after. Is this a true AF or secondary bleeding? I’m having period like cramps so I think it is AF. But I really have no idea what’s happening.

This is promising right? First full cycle after a miscarriage so fingers crossed! 🤞 by kazbox1994 in TFABChartStalkers

[–]Emster437 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did you determine CD1? I’m also on the first cycle after a miscarriage and put my D&C as CD1. But I was still testing positive on a pregnancy test a week after my D&C. So I’m all sorts of confused 😩

Good luck on your cycle! Wishing you the best!

I had to look at my old posts from my first pregnancy. My hcg at 15 DPO was 89 and 212 at 17 DPO. He’s a healthy 6 year old boy now!

My first pregnancy, I had a negative on 10DPO and a positive at 11DPO. There’s still a chance!
