Great news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-229158 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:25:11 +0000 cokiezombie 229158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to pop in and give you guys an update. My HCG level was 208 on Tuesday and 553 yesterday, so it's increasing at a normal rate. This puts me at only 4 - 5 weeks, so I'm still in my early stages.<br /> HUGEEEEE sigh of relief. Thank you so much for your positive thoughts and prayers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225845 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:22:46 +0000 MaisyMay 225845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cokiezombie: If you feel the need, stock up on tests and take them when you are feeling antsy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225833 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:05:13 +0000 cokiezombie 225833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: True that! :) I tested again last night and the 2nd line showed up immediately and became even darker than the control line, so I'm staying positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225755 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 17:31:52 +0000 MaisyMay 225755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 5 weeks, it would still be too early to see something. Try to go back in a week or two and check again. And nobody would blame you for taking tests in between, just to reassure yourself. We've all done that. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225750 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 17:22:57 +0000 winniebee 225750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like you are not as far along as your last period date and it was probably too early to see much Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225732 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 16:47:29 +0000 cokiezombie 225732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thank you ladies!

This morning DH saw me squishing them and he asked, "WHAT are you doing? Why are your squeezing them?" and I had to explain to him that I was testing to see if they're still sore :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225424 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 13:25:39 +0000 Alivoo01 225424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hoping a sticky baby for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225415 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 13:21:23 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 225415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cokiezombie: I had to laugh at you squishing your boobs to make sure they're still sore. Just wanted to let you know that mine were only sore for a couple days and then it went away (only to come back with a vengeance a few weeks later). So it's ok if you don't feel sore anymore. Good luck to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225367 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 13:07:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 225367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hoping for great hcg and progesterone numbers for you!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225364 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 13:07:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 225364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm crossing fingers for a sticky baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225358 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 13:05:37 +0000 Adira 225358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the others! If you O'd around CD 20/21, you're probably only 5 weeks! Hopefully your HCG levels come out well. Keeping my fingers crossed for a sticky baby for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225350 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 13:01:49 +0000 cokiezombie 225350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thank you ladies! I really hope that it's because I'm still in the early stages of the pregnancy. I keep squishing and smashing my boobs to see if they're still sore :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225267 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 12:18:18 +0000 mrskc 225267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Praying for you! And with a longer cycle like that and you thinking you O'd around CD 20/21, you'd only be 5 weeks right now. And that is still too early to see anything on an U/S. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225179 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 11:48:44 +0000 oliviaoblivia 225179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with your OB that it might still be a little early for the US. My fingers are crossed that everything is fine and you have a sticky 5w baby in there. (((Hugs))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increasing-hgc-levels-and-sac-thoughts-please#post-225167 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 11:40:34 +0000 cokiezombie 225167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 8 cycles and literally a mental breakdown not too long ago, I got my BFP on Sunday (!!) and made an appt to see my OBGYN yesterday. She estimated that I was already 6-ish weeks along due to the first day of my last period (June 4th), so she did a vaginal ultrasound.</p> <p>On the ultrasound, she was only able to see a thickened uterus lining but no sac. She then asked how long are my cycles and I told her anywhere from 30 - 36 days, so she suspects that I am actually only 5 weeks and still too early in the pregnancy to detect a sac. (I didn't mention this to her, but according to the Clear Blue Digital OPK, I got a smiley face on CD19 - so that mean I ovulated on CD20 or 21?) </p> <p>She sent me to get a blood test yesterday and another one on Thursday to see if my levels will increase.</p> <p>You guys.. I have been so worried and googling everything I can about ultrasounds at 5 weeks. This is cycle 8 for me (after a chem in cycle 6) and I never thought it would happen, but DH and I were so happy to finally see 2 dark lines on the HPT, so pls pray for a sticky bean for us! </p>
