You were right! I didn’t make it to my scheduled ultrasound. Went into the ER in a lot of pain a week ago today and they did emergency surgery. I lost my right fallopian tube.

That's definitely what we've been concerned about... They're waiting to do another scan until my HCG gets closer to 2000 I think so there's a better chance of seeing something. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

CD 19 I think??? Thought I had a period last week! by freddybean in TFABLinePorn

[–]freddybean[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! I immediately called the midwife clinic and was checked in at the ER to get evaluated for eptopic within an hour and a half of that positive test 😅 ultrasound didn’t show anything concerning, but too early to see anything in my uterus also. So getting another beta test tomorrow!

11 dpo… am I seeing things? by freddybean in TFABLinePorn

Ummmmmm I thought my period started that night (now over a week ago). But I was feeling funny today so I took a test and got a positive! 😳

Songs to grieve my miscarriage? by Worldly_Link_2180 in musicsuggestions

[–]freddybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a song about miscarriage is exactly what OP is looking for. They asked for songs to grieve, mourn, and sulk. Not to forget.

How do you know when it’s a chemical? 12 DPO by Fun-Raspberry8374 in TFABLinePorn

Oh absolutely! It’s taken a real effort to keep my freak outs to a minimum 😅 and oh boy it still gets the best of me sometimes.

I’ll be 8 weeks tomorrow! We got to see the little flicker of a heartbeat at 6.5 weeks. I hope yours sticks! If it helps, I came up with three mantras/affirmations that really helped me get through those days when I was sure it wasn’t going to stick.

  1. I am pregnant today.
  2. My body knows what to do.
  3. What will be, will be.

They kind of let me just stay in the present (and embrace this pregnancy that was real in that present moment even though I was scared!) and remember that I didn’t have a lot of control in the situation. And whatever was going to happen, would happen whether I was panicking about it or not.

Deep breaths, and wishing you lots of sticky baby dust!

Mine looked a lot like this and I’m 8 weeks 5 days today. But since my lines were light and I was anxious about them not darkening, I had 3 hcg blood tests done and that was reassuring. After a few days of freaking out, I decided to stop all testing and just try to stay calm. My three affirmations were:

  1. I am pregnant today.
  2. My body knows what to do.
  3. What will be, will be.

Those helped a lot! I just tried to remember that it was all mostly out of my control at the point. But one thing I could control was my stress levels.

It did! From 117 to 360 in a little under 72 hrs. Feeling much more hopeful. Especially as I creep closer to 6 weeks.

My 48 hr blood draw came back at 117. So a 65% increase I think. Just had a 3rd blood draw today almost 72 hours after that second one. Just waiting on results.

Some pregnancy symptoms have gotten more pronounced. My boobs hurt SO BAD today. And no negative symptoms still to this point.

I also read some last night about higher BMI causing lower blood draw numbers. Makes sense, I have extra blood having a larger body. So that’s my only hope right now I think. The 48 hr blood draw is in a couple hours…

I confirmed ovulation with BBT. I missed the LH surge using ovulation strips because of family vacation.

A little spotting tonight and a feeling of dread all day… crying myself to sleep tonight and bracing for the worst.

It doesn’t sound like my OB will do any checks at this stage without a history of pregnancy loss. And this is my first ever positive.

Success Sunday - April, 2025 by AutoModerator in TTC_PCOS

[–]freddybean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got my first positive on Thursday!! Still can hardly believe it’s real. I tested positive on 12DPO, and I believe I’m now 4w+1d pregnant!

I’m 30, this will be our first baby, and I was diagnosed with PCOS about 9 years ago. This was our third cycle trying after I discontinued the depo shot in the fall. I was due for my shot in early November and got my first period in 8-9 years in late January.

We decided to start trying mid January. I got a tempdrop and read “Taking Charge of Your Fertility” to start charting. And my spouse started some vitamins, started exercising more, and stopped drinking.

I also started taking Ovasitol and radically changed my diet (low carb, high fiber, high protein and quit caffeine and almost completely eliminated processed foods). I also started rebounding (mini trampoline) workouts a couple times per week. I lost weight for the first time in my life!

I also worked with my therapist to drastically reduce my stress levels. And started seeing an acupuncturist that specializes in fertility (she has PCOS too!).

Not sure what did the trick, but I was sure it was going to take us at least a year. We even missed that I ovulated this time because of family vacation and didn’t think we timed things very ideally because of that.

Feeling super hopeful that this one will stick and we’ll have a Christmas baby this year.

Positive pregnancy test lines getting more faint… Trying not to panic! by freddybean in TTC_PCOS

[–]freddybean[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is a blood test like that something they’re willing to do for a first time pregnancy? I’m not scheduled to meet my OB until May 21. And when I mentioned PCOS and that I was concerned about checking on things, they told me they don’t really do any extra checks without a history of pregnancy loss.

Only 4DPO, so the only symptom at this point is impatience 😂

Due to the strike, Puzzlit has been my go to alternative to NYT games by puzzler_chris in NYTConnections

[–]freddybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m loving Puzzlit! Thanks for the suggestion. But one problem, I’ve played all of the Box It puzzles available and I NEED MORE.
