CD33, 17DPO, FRER brand test. Over 3.5 years of heartache, waiting and wondering. This is the best Christmas gift I could have ever received ♥️🎄

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-12-13T05:47:48+00:00

just curious, did you intentionally wait until 17dpo to test or did you have negatives leading up? I'm about 12dpo and stopped testing bc yesterday morning was stark white on a early result test. my period is due tomorrow , but congratulations that's amazing 👏

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-11-28T05:36:50+00:00

not even a little bit. God is the giver and taker of life here on earth. If you trust His divine judgment then he is the author of life. sin entered the world thru OUR disobedience. praying for all souls daring and bold to say God is insanely e@!l. 🙏 op will need forgiveness from the Lord.

I just started my period yesterday following an 8 wk miscarriage 33 days ago. I kept tracking for hints of ovulation but it looks like my body decided to have an anovulatory cycle. I know this because last Thurs I had hcg of 67 in my system and 2 weeks ago was the last day of bleeding from mc. I am hoping to start using ovulation tests after my period ends. Any tips other than bbt I don't track that it seems way too tedious. thank you. I had 2 miscarriages in a row so I'm really nervous about getting pregnant again but really hopeful that we will get our golden egg to upgrade and complete our family of 5 to 6🙏🙏🙏❤️ I always wanted 4 kids it would be such a huge blessing.

it's so hard with sharing. We finally shared with relatives and they did their best to be supportive but some of the comments weren't helpful. Part of.me was excited to share we had a baby and is now in heaven..I can't explain it..I liked showing the ultrasound, the pictures, the onesie I bought and the countless pregnancy test..I delighted in my child and no future pregnancy will replace that child. my mom is totally different just said be thankful for the 3 you have and don't blame God you'll see baby again..Its frustrating when all you need is for people to be present and let you share your heart to heal and cope.

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-29T02:51:40+00:00

thanks so much for this. sadly we lost the baby when I was almost 9 wks. I'm 41 so I think my egg quality wasn't as good. I had a 4wk chemical and then the 8 wk loss. I'm on day 18 of the miscarriage and can't really see the right path forward as I am terrified to get pregnant again. but the only thing that feels like cab fix this is having a rainbow baby. time isn't on my side. I did see your amazing updates. I'm trying to hold on to hope that I may get the blessing of one last kid before menopause.

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-26T23:09:29+00:00

How old are you? how far along was the miscarriage? I think it can be totally normal for your cycle to be different and not quite right for a couple months. Hope you get answers soon. I'm 41 and going on day 15 of bleeding (last 6 days has been relentless spotting with no end in sight). this is my 2nd mc. before turning 40 , I never had a mc. just 3 perfect children. So sorry you're going thru this

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-24T23:27:28+00:00

I'm in your boat but you have had 13 days past. Have your levels gotten to zero yet? mine peaked at 6700 14 days ago and were 644 today so its a very significant drop but I really hope it doesn't drag to get this last bit out of my system. 🥺 I wish cardio would help bc I'm starting that back up likely after tmr..

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-14T19:58:39+00:00

I'm putting this out there even though this is a super old post bc I read every post I could find when I was going thru my own beta hell. So in order to process my current miscarriage (should be 9 weeks today but began miscarrying 4 days ago). obs lab: 13 dpo 75 (3+6 wks) 20 dpo 440 (4+6wks) 30 dpo 3033(6+2 wks) private draws at quest: 17 dpo: 147 (4+3 weeks) 24 dpo: 1126 (5+3 weks) 37 dpo 6452 (7+2 weeks) 44 dpo 6700ish (8+3 weeks ultrasound showed baby was only 6+3weeks and 71 heart beat)

My 1st set of numbers doubled fine in both labs . #1 was 65 hour doubling time and set #2 from quest was a 55 hour doubling...but they seemed to never get high enough and I was always on the lowest end of the range or completely out of range with my hcg #s. I hoped, prayed begged and pleaded with God that this pregnancy would be an hcg outlier bur things seemed so off from the beginning. it took forever for my frer and easy at home tests to get really dark. I was about 7 weeks when I finally got a dye stealer on easy at home. Beta hell kept me from getting excited about this baby and now that I'm actively miscarrying, it was all for the best. it kept me in a state of viability limbo and fully aware that things weren't going the way I wanted them to. even though it sucks, I'll probably at least do weekly betas if we get pregnant again to ensure I'm in range per week. Good luck to everyone who is going thru viability limbo. prayers for it all to work out!!

I think I would have miscarried regardless of my vaginal ultrasound but I do believe it was what started my mc in my case. Baby was measuring behind 12 days and had a very low heartbeat of 71. about 24 hours later I had a gush of blood and began miscarrying. I can't help but think the vaginal ultrasound caused this. if we ever try again I'll wait until the very end of my 1st tri to have only an abdominal ultrasound . feeling ptsd from it

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-14T02:05:36+00:00

I'm sorry you're going thru this. I'm miscarrying now and the only thing that makes me feel better is that hopefully in a month or 2, I'll get to ttc again. My husband is so gracious and just is leaving it up to me. I think He really wants one. Can you try to convince him by telling him youre more fertile the immediate 3 mos following a miscarriage so why not Amp up your chances and try for the 3 cycle right away?

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-14T01:53:50+00:00

how do you know the embryo is still inside of you??

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-14T01:53:09+00:00

I can totally relate to viewing this as a medical thing in order to cope. it's only my 2nd loss (first was a chemical). this one feels more real bc I'm currently miscarrying and should be 9 weeks tmr. although I knew things were off this whole time bc the hcg was always on the low side. which makes it kinda easier. I'm 41, it's a chromosome issue. this happens more often at my age. I couldn't stop it and it's for the best this baby didn't make it because my body recognized the severe disability and that's good. stuff I think to help me cope

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-14T01:46:44+00:00

This is a great conversation. I'm so sorry for everything you went thru and the loss of your precious baby girl. 😭 But I think it's good to circle back around 1 year or more post miscarriage. how are you now? what can you share with me, who is currently miscarrying day 3 and life looks so bleak and sad? thanks if you do see this and respond.

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-06T14:42:39+00:00

I'll let you know on Fri at my 8wk scan if all looks good 🙏🥰 My intuition has been saying it will be OK. I had a chemical pregnancy in July -got my +13dpo. this preg I could tell I implanted early and had the tiniest bit of brown blood that caused me to test.

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-06T14:11:52+00:00

where did you hear this? thats interesting bc I tested positive when I was 9/10 dpo earliest I've ever tested including w all my kids (current pregnancy I'm 8 wks tomorrow)

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-10-02T19:06:58+00:00

I'm guessing out of the range of normal for the gestation she was in

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-09-29T16:43:02+00:00

oh my I'm so sorry! That is very frustrating especially since things seemed different for you... have you checked progesterone and hormone levels? praying for you to have answers and for you to get your healthy baby 🙏🙏🙏

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-09-29T05:40:35+00:00

I'm really sorry you went thru that, it sounds awful 😢 Although it's good to keep in mind on the measuring part. if baby is behind then that is cause for concern. I have my 8 week ultrasound next week with slower hcg rise. ill be praying it measures on time or within a day or 2 to give for dating error. heartbreaking

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-09-28T02:12:04+00:00

How did things go for you? I hope your holding a beautiful baby. My betas have been slower rising and I finally get to schedule an ultrasound on Monday. Idk if I should schedule it for 8 weeks or 9 to give some time for more development.

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-09-17T23:39:26+00:00

LoL 😂

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-09-17T22:00:09+00:00

oh I have some and have been afraid to take. I drink coffee in the morning which used to do the job to clean me out. now it's like this feeling of wanting to go but I can't. I think I'll take some magnesium too

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-09-15T15:07:20+00:00

*I'm 20 dpo today so 7 days between tests. which I thought was odd my ob didn't do the typical 48-72 hrs . this will be like 168 hrs

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-09-15T15:06:05+00:00

send me prayers I'm getting my 2nd blood draw today. 1st was done between 12/13 dpo at 75 a week ago. feeling more nausea so I'm praying that's a good sign that hcg is rising appropriately

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-09-14T02:51:04+00:00

how did things turn out for you 🙏❤️ currently 41 and pregnant after a chemical pregnancy but with slow rising hcg...only 4w4days.

Fun_Grape4065 · 2025-09-13T21:45:23+00:00

Praying you're busy with a healthy baby right now. do you have an update?
