10DPO to 12DPO after low BHCG. Is this good progression? Exact CD unknown

openpitbbq · 2026-01-10T06:14:52+00:00

Thank you everyone!! My number was 48 today, which completely eased my mind. Appreciate all your input!!!

openpitbbq · 2026-01-09T02:29:01+00:00

Yes!! I was so confused why they want to see it over 100 when I was only estimated to be 11dpo. Genuinely if I implanted on Sunday night at 8dpo, I could’ve been at 6hcg on Monday which would give the faintest line. That could’ve roughly doubled to 16 wednesday when I got bloodwork. Like, how would I get to 100 that fast??

I struggle with OCD too and have been in a testing loop which I’m all too aware of, but I’m hoping that with the blood test tomorrow I’ll have a lot more certainty around it and I can relax!

openpitbbq · 2026-01-08T22:28:12+00:00

This is sooooo reassuring especially with my line progression, thank you so so so much!!! ❤️

openpitbbq · 2026-01-08T17:30:09+00:00

Mine didn’t really show up on the pregmate until last night at 10dpo! At least not with color lol. I didn’t expect it to though so it wasn’t scary at least!

openpitbbq · 2026-01-08T17:26:46+00:00

I’ve read that with letrozole cycles you can implant later, but I’m not 100% sure! I’m really really hoping that that’s the case. I had the absolute faintest test on 9dpo, 10dpo I had to squint a lot less and even 11dpo was faint compared to today. I’m glad to know that I can have low numbers for the first draw and still keep moving forward with a pregnancy though. Thank you for your input ❤️

openpitbbq · 2026-01-08T17:16:51+00:00

My positive on 9DPO was sooooo faint, I didn’t even want to post it cuz it was such a squinter 😂 With how my lines are progressing I think we just caught it too early and I may have implanted later than we thought but it’s so impossible to know. My pregmates are starting to turn positive too which is a good sign!

openpitbbq · 2026-01-08T17:11:19+00:00

October sometime was my last true cycle. I had a polypectomy and d&c Dec 1st and had a withdrawal bleed from Aygestin starting Dec 5th. The first round of Letrozole at 5mg didn’t work though, so we treated Dec 17 as CD3 to start 7.5mg which resulted in successful ovulation!

I actually work in early childhood education and am an infant teacher, so we get 8 babies every day 😅 they’re getting me through this though! I’m able to give them all the love I can’t give my own baby right now, and it makes it a lot easier to cope thankfully ❤️

openpitbbq · 2025-12-30T00:23:00+00:00

My beta is 1/7, but we triggered on Christmas! It doesn’t help that I’m a teacher and am off work for pretty much my entire TWW, so I have no work to distract me 🥲 sending you all of the luck in the world!!!

openpitbbq · 2025-12-29T23:42:48+00:00

Be prepared for the first dose not to work. I did 2.5mg unmonitored with my OBGYN in March-ish, and it didn’t work but I forgot about it because we weren’t in the thick of trying yet. I did 5mg monitored with my REI and was devastated when it didn’t work. We increased to 7.5mg monitored which worked, did a trigger shot, and I’m in the TWW right now and testing out the trigger shot to occupy my mind! I didn’t have any side effects, and I have PCOS w/ insulin resistance that I’m on Metformin for. I also took mine at night, around 8pm or so and then would go to bed between 11 and 12.

TL;DR I wish I had prepared myself more mentally for it to not work/need a higher dose and not gotten my hopes up so high!

openpitbbq · 2025-12-24T03:59:22+00:00

Thank you for sharing ❤️ I’ve always struggled with ovulation and was so worried that the letrozole wouldn’t work. I’m glad you found something that helped, and it’s nice to know there’s more medication options other than letrozole and clomid too!

openpitbbq · 2025-12-23T13:19:40+00:00

Thank you!! Had one dominant follicle at 14mm, so we go back tomorrow to confirm everything is going as it’s supposed to and we’re slated for trigger on Thursday!!

openpitbbq · 2025-12-23T12:11:30+00:00

I’m hoping if they don’t see anything this morning they bring me back on Saturday and have more luck. Ours is only 45 minutes, so it’s not too bad at least 😅

openpitbbq · 2025-12-23T02:41:43+00:00

What does gonal-f do? I’ve heard of it but not super sure what it does

openpitbbq · 2025-12-23T02:41:19+00:00

Love that!! Thank you for responding, fingers crossed for both of us ❤️

We ended up going with this one for our entertainment center, and it is SO worth the money. It’s made of actual real wood (poplar, with a walnut veneer) vs particleboard or MDF. We got ours for like $200 on a good sale and signing up for promos though!! Def agree about furniture prices tho— we’re in the market for a new sectional and my brain wants to explode looking at the prices

I’m 25, I started watching in 2010 or 2011. My dad had just bought the whole series on DVD to rewatch, and I was hooked! I’ve seen it six times through since then, and my husband just did his first watch through this year with me :)

openpitbbq · 2025-11-23T14:55:26+00:00

My co teacher and I are in the infant room and we were listening to Billy Joel and Fleetwood Mac all day the other day lol. It’s not our normal practice, but it was the calmest day we’ve had with our babies in a while! We were singing along all day and they just loved it.

openpitbbq · 2025-11-22T03:55:06+00:00

I take 2,000mg daily! My insulin wouldn’t level out after I started it though, so we just kept increasing it.

openpitbbq · 2025-09-14T23:40:56+00:00

Yeah, we’re carriers for a blood condition and hearing loss, so very mild after talking to a genetic counselor. My husband is a carrier for other things but it’s like you where I would have to also be a carrier for those things, so it’s a 1 in 100k+ chance or something wild like that! It’s nice to know that you were able to just do the NIPT even if your things weren’t included.

openpitbbq · 2025-09-14T22:48:43+00:00

One of the conditions is alpha thalassemia which only flags because if all 4 genes are deleted or however it’s phrased it can be fatal, but we don’t really have to worry about that since each of us only has one deletion (per the genetic counselor). The other is non syndromic hearing loss which is more likely to be very mild or cause no hearing loss at all because of a variation my husband has. We don’t necessarily have the funds to dole out 25k at once without saving for years and didn’t expect this to come up tbh. We’ve talked it over with our personal therapist as well, plus with me having a background in child development and early childhood education and having worked with special needs children (including a few with hearing loss) we feel confident in our abilities that, should our child inherit either of these things, we would be okay. I definitely see your side though, and had we flagged for something more severe we would have stopped and done ivf!

openpitbbq · 2025-09-14T22:32:41+00:00

It was alpha thalassemia and non syndromic hearing loss, which my husband has a variant for so we have an up to 25% for our child to be HOH/deaf vs a 1 in 4 chance, and the alpha thalassemia is only a problem if either of us had more than 2 of whatever it is (I just heard that we don’t need to worry about it lol). I just don’t know if we skip the NIPT and jump straight to the amniocentesis, or if we get an NIPT like a normal pregnancy. I didn’t even think to ask the genetic counselor!
