@LAZB: I would go tomorrow instead if you're wanting to know for sure what the follicles are looking like.
-
@Sams Mom: I see it too! I will say that I had a very visible line even when my numbers were pretty much negative, so I don’t think I’ll put a lot of stock in squinters anymore
-
@dc yoga bee: true, I forgot to go back and compare to yours. It does look to be in the right place at least. I'm using my last FRER on sunday.
-
@LAZB: See I always wonder what the beta # to FRER line progression chart would look like. I didn't have betas done with my son, and only ever took a digital since I was 2 weeks late when I thought to test; and my in office urine test was negative... So who knows.
-
@Sams Mom: look at mine. The first test was on 11dpo. I had a beta of 32 the next day on 12dpo. Then on 14dpo it was 97 and the second test was taken 1.5hrs prior to the blood draw. Hopefully this makes sense.
-
I didn’t take a pictureof my test that was almost back to zero, but the bottom test picture was when my levels were tested 45
-
@LAZB: thank you, that actually helps a lot! My friends at work just sent me a picture of her FRER from 10 dpo and it's barely there... But she never had betas done either.
-
@Sams Mom: keep in mind if your baseline is 0 and you implanted on cd8 then your hcg could still be as low as 2 which would barely or not even show
-
@MamaBear87: yea, I'm trying not to get excited. If it looks better on Sunday, I'll start getting excited.
-
@Sams Mom: this is totally why I'm scared to test
-
@MamaBear87: I knoooooow, I don't know why I do this to myself!?
-
@Sams Mom: I'm so hoping for you!!
-
The question of the day do I get a frer for Sunday? Haha it would be awful to be late and have cheapies not show and not know
-
@Sams Mom: I see it in the second picture!
-
@MamaBear87: the answer is always yes (even when it shouldn't be)
-
@Sams Mom: does target have the flat ones? Haha of course I'm right next to one
-
@MamaBear87: I believe so, I think they got rid of the curved ones at mine 5-6 months ago
-
@Sams Mom: @mamabear87: ooh I haven’t bought frer in a while. They got rid of the curved ones?? I’ve only used the curved ones so the flat ones will be new to me. Are they supposed to be better?
-
@starlitsky: I think the curved ones had problems with evaps? But I can't remember if that was the problem for sure
-
@Sams Mom: can you get a blood test?
-
@starlitsky: the curved ones got horrible evaps. The flat are usually much better
@Sams Mom: you're a terrible influence
now to cross my fingers I can hold out until Sunday
-
@dc yoga bee: I imagine I could? Never really asked.
@MamaBear87: I just looked in Sam's club for bulk FRER (not that I should ever spend the money for it)
-
@LAZB: Just saw this! I think you’re right! It was too late for me to trigger by the time I had the final ultrasound for follicle check.
-
11dpo....madly googling how likely a false negative would be tomorrow
-
@Sams Mom: this is what cheapies are for
-
@MamaBear87: that's what I know, but this whole maybe there is a chance of a line has got me thinking crazy
-
@MamaBear87: not the worst odds
-
@Sams Mom: I wish they had plotted the % of tests and incidence of
before a true 
rather than just a count. If say 20 people tested on 5DPO and 1000 on 10DPO, that will skew your results to just list the hard count. What you care about is how likely it is for you, not just how many times it happened in general. Are there any more charts where you pulled that?
-
@yellowbeach: yes there are, but statistics was one of my only downfalls in math
-
@Sams Mom: i have an lp on the shorter side of average so I think my best bet is just wait until Sunday when I would be late.
-
@MamaBear87: probably, I can concede and stop being a bad influence.
-
@dc yoga bee: I’m glad you agree. I went ahead and switched it for tomorrow, I would rather be too early than too late.
-
I had follow up levels again today!
6/15: 31.5
6/25: 2929.7
6/29: "just above 15,000"Eeeek! This is looking really good. Work is crazy (56 hrs/week) right now, so the soonest I was able to get in for an US was 7/25. So until then, I'll be hoping for the best!
-
@Dr. Pepper: Wonderful numbers, congrats!
-
@Dr. Pepper: that's amazing!
-
@Sams Mom: lurking but I definitely see the lines in your 2 bottom pictures and pretty positive the lines are in the right spot. Fingers crossed for you!!!
PS - been following along anxiously awaiting for all of you to poas already! Hoping for good news for you all!
-
@LabradorLover: haha don't be a bad influence! I have lots of things I'm reading into this month and trying to tell myself they're nothing
-
@Dr. Pepper: yay! So glad to see awesome numbers
-
@MamaBear87: I’m totally a bad influence! I had a stock pile of frers and wondfos so I could poas anytime and not feel bad haha just really hoping for good news for all of you! I know how much it sucks and I wish nobody had to go through that!
-
@LabradorLover: I'm trying to hold on to my thankfulness at just being in a place where we can try again after all that's happened. I'm failing utterly as we get close to my period being due
Eta I have a ton of cheapies but I hate seeing negatives so much
