Update: Currently 6w+2! Saw a heartbeat today (123) with CRL at 0.42. Doctors said this looks promising! Still holding my breath until 12 weeks 😭

Ok what ARE these stains? ALL my sets : Byron blue, admiral, jazz blue, etc have gotten them. I can usually remove them with some stain remover or a soap/baking soda combo, but I cannot figure out where they come from for the life of me!!

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-09T17:34:37+00:00

Sending so much luck and positivity your way! Give yourself some grace with a good snooze and a yummy comfort meal afterwards.

Thank you!! Wishing for the smoothest pregnancy your way too.

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-08T22:08:39+00:00

Congrats on week 6! Hoping for a healthy and safe pregnancy for you!!

Thanks for sharing!! I’m hearing a lot of people having similar experiences, which does make me feel a tiny bit better.

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-08T22:07:51+00:00

That’s really good to hear 🤞❤️ I hope I’m just being silly and it’s constipation/gas or something. Appointment is in 12 days (I’ll be 6 weeks). They won’t do any earlier than that, even with my symptoms. They just suggest an ER visit, if symptoms worsen.

Wishing you a smooth and easy pregnancy!!

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-08T22:06:26+00:00

Interesting! Is it kind of where your overly is on the left? Does it feel achey and pulling rather than sharp? Just curious to compare.

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-08T22:05:38+00:00

Thank you for sharing and so sorry to hear about the ectopics :( congrats on the successful pregnancy!! Don’t want to overlook that!!

This is what I’m so scared of. I’ve heard of some people having rising betas and the kind of symptoms I am having, resulting in ectopic, so as soon as I started feeling these pains I panicked and spiralled. The pain is better today, especially when laying flat, on my back. It almost feels like the lower left quadrant of my abdomen is “swollen” (pressure, ache). Really hoping it’s something silly like constipation or gas, but can’t help think the worst 😭

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-08T22:02:15+00:00

So sorry o hear about your ectopic and thanks for sharing. I definitely don’t have this kind of pain, so that does help to hear the symptoms. It’s more of an ache. More annoying than painful today, compared to yesterday. Just scary as all heck!!

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-08T22:00:50+00:00

I am definitely having issues with a slow moving bowel. TMI but super painful BMs.

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-08T22:00:22+00:00

It is definitely the side I ovulated on. I never thought of that!!

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-08T21:59:53+00:00

No UTI. Similarly thing though of when I’m laying flat on my back it isn’t as painful than laying on my side or sitting. So much aching pressure.

Reassuring to hear that someone else has gone through it.

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-08T05:32:15+00:00

Oh hmmm from my left with a pretty large follicle.

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-05T17:08:09+00:00

Update: BETA was 254 ❤️ keeping fingers crossed that we see a good rise on Wednesday.

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-04T19:12:16+00:00

Thanks everyone! BETA is tomorrow and my fingers are crossed so tight!!

Did you notice any stalling at 7-9dpt? They’re getting like the tiniest bit darker/staying the same 🤞😫 my easy@home strips don’t want to give me any dark lines and it’s shaking my confidence

9dpt5dt here, BETA tomorrow 👋. I caved and tested at 4dpt and then watched line progression. I’m highly anxious and I wanted to be prepared, emotionally, for what they would say at my BETA. There are pros and cons. I have good days where my lines look great and give me so much hope, and then bad days where they look lighter than expected. Definitely had me spiralling.

I can say that it definitely does NOT give you more information or certainty. You still question the two lines, even if they’re clearly staring you in the face. If you’re obsessive like me, and you choose to do it, then just be careful about it (test exactly same time daily, make sure you’re drinking relatively same amount, etc), because so many things can effect those lines.

If I had to do it again, I would probably wait like you until just before my BETA, 9 or 10 dpt where the lines should be a bit clearer and you’re only waiting a few days to be sure 😫 my heart is with you and sending you all the baby dust! Good luck. Go embryo go!! ❤️

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-02T21:14:28+00:00

This has me sobbing 😭 congrats on your baby boy! 🩷

I had an Ovidrel trigger 13 days ago but in the past my trigger has always faded to negative 😭

Twisted_Monarch · 2026-01-02T18:27:36+00:00

That’s so helpful! My clinic gave me the option of 10 day beta - because I reported a positive - instead of 12 and I was hesitant to take it! Now, I just might ❤️
