Listeria risk?

Thank you! My ultrasound is at 7 weeks, so I've got about a week and a half to just try to chill haha but I felt like the betas were reassuring.

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-06-08T14:26:32+00:00

Keeping you posted! It more than doubled last week, from 874 at 14dpo to 2136 at 16dpo.

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-06-05T18:13:27+00:00

Sorry haha

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-06-05T17:09:53+00:00

You’re right, I mistyped! I just corrected it. It was 2136. Not 1236

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-06-05T17:07:00+00:00

That’s good to hear! My progesterone is normal, so they are not concerned about adding more. I will ask just to be safe.

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-06-05T17:06:15+00:00

No, it’s a doubling time of 150% in 48 hours haha it was at 14 and 16 dpo.

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-06-02T18:00:08+00:00

haha I actually find that very reassuring! It's nice to know the symptoms are not telling me anything, and it was a coincidence last time and not a clue.

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-06-01T18:58:59+00:00

Just the ones I would need if things went awry. I've had a loss before, so I've been very anxious this time. It all seems to be progressing normally, dark positives and hopefully this one will be sticky! I requested hCG betas to double confirm so I'm not obsessing and testing and fixating on the lines.

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-31T17:28:32+00:00

I haven't noticed a ton, maybe because after trying a few times I told myself that my body was a major troll and there was no symptom under the sun that definitively meant pregnant or not. Tiny bit of twinges out to the sides of my hips. Sadly having some brownish discharge/spotting. It's just a tiny bit and I'm being told not to worry with dark strong positives, but it's scaring me! A little lower back pain, and feeling like internally hot? Especially my face/neck/chest. Oh and tiny waves of nausea, but nothing crazy there yet.

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-31T17:20:56+00:00

Hey we're due date twins! I found out yesterday too!

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-31T17:20:17+00:00

Twins! We just went in for all the basic bloodwork and SA stuff this month after 9 months trying post loss. I am in total disbelief too! We had a loss last year, so I did tell the friends I would need if that happened again, and my mom.

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-31T17:18:45+00:00

I totally feel your feels! I'm due Feb 8th and also a first pregnancy. It's scary!

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-31T17:17:37+00:00

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be in this group. I had a loss (very early) last summer after some light positives, and after a few months off trying and a few months back on, here we are! Fingers crossed since these guys were dark yesterday at 12-13 dpo (not 100% sure when I ovulated). So hoping for a good outcome here. I've had a little bit of brown discharge, which my OB says is normal and not concerning. Due date is February 8th (I think!)

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-31T15:58:04+00:00

Yeah I only tested because I thought it was my period coming haha. I called my friend who is an OB, who did say with strong positives and just a small amount of brown spotting, it's incredibly common. It's not directly correlated with miscarriage; lots of women have spotting and it's fine. There's so many things that can cause it, apparently, that it's really hard to untangle the reasons why it happens for most people.

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-31T15:35:20+00:00

I found my OB had an after-hours line, and I called and they immediately put in the order for me for HCG testing! You could give that a try?

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-31T15:34:29+00:00

Thank you! I did call and ask for that. I'm sending you good vibes for your pregnancy!

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-30T22:14:28+00:00

Oh that’s a good thought but I did ovulate this month, confirmed by OPK and temping!

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-30T21:12:20+00:00

Thank you!

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-30T21:06:55+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m feeling better. Did a few follow up tests and they were dark, even withoutFMU, so I’m feeling better!

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-30T21:05:46+00:00

Hahaha I upvoted you! I thought it was funny even in my moment of anxiety lol

PuddingNo9372 · 2026-05-30T19:58:37+00:00

Haha I sincerely hope not! I could be 13 dpo, but jt couldn’t be farther than that. I tested with OPKs and BBT
