As exciting is Digis are to see the words, the FRER lines getting darker is way more exciting (IMO). Looks awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1613785 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:19:16 +0000 Honeygold89 1613785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That looks darker than mines at 13dpo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1613782 Mon, 05 May 2014 14:18:46 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1613782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: thank you!

Looking pretty good. Might also have one more beta tomorrow for peace of mind. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1613378 Mon, 05 May 2014 12:11:27 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1613378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: you're welcome! Just breathe and tell yourself "Today, I am pregnant." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1613253 Mon, 05 May 2014 11:34:22 +0000 lilteacherbee 1613253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally understand your anxiety, trust me. I was a hot mess during my pregnancy because of a previous m/c. However, I got very faint BFPs that gradually got darker starting at 8-9 dpo. I had a beta done at 10dpo and it was 32, so it was probably 15ish when I got that first BFP! Deep breaths, mama, you're totally pregnant :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1613235 Mon, 05 May 2014 11:26:56 +0000 78h2o 1613235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mama, you are totally pregnant. I get the anxiety... I was a basket case when I was pregnant with LO after a miscarriage, but I think it's time to embrace being pregnant. Blood tests are reliable and there's no way your beta would increase if you weren't pregnant.</p> <p>Unfortunately, if anything goes wrong, no amount of preparing or worrying in advance is going to help... and if things go right (most likely scenario), you will have stressed yourself out needlessly.</p> <p>When I was pregnant with LO, I started off saying things like, "Well, if this one sticks...", "If everything's ok..." and my sister put the kibosh on that and said no more... things WILL be fine, I don't want you to think or say anything differently. I found that not allowing myself to say things like that helped me to stop thinking them somewhat less! </p> <p>Big hugs and congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1613049 Mon, 05 May 2014 10:33:47 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1613049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: Trust that your doctor/nurse read the report correctly. Take a deep breath. Everything looks great to this point. Agree with @spaniellove 110%! BTW--apparently HPT can and do sometimes pick up HCG levels in the single digits (so said my old OB)! (ditto what @septca: said...) Thinking of you! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612641 Mon, 05 May 2014 08:48:10 +0000 spaniellove 1612641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the previous posters have explained how it works with the home tests. At this point the betas are much more precise and will tell you so much more than any test you can take at home. So I know it's really hard but try to trust in your little bean, because you will be doing that for a long time to come...it's good practice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612571 Mon, 05 May 2014 08:23:02 +0000 pui 1612571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd trust your RE! Congrats again! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612442 Mon, 05 May 2014 06:42:41 +0000 mrs. 64 1612442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a positive on a frer and my first beta was 17. You're pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612388 Mon, 05 May 2014 05:29:18 +0000 septca 1612388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first BFP was at 10 DPO (Wondfo and FRER) A blood test that day showed my hcg level was only a 7! Tests can be very sensitive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612332 Mon, 05 May 2014 00:13:19 +0000 Honeygold89 1612332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blood test are definite so don't let your mind worry you are pregnant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612328 Mon, 05 May 2014 00:05:49 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1612328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Panda: OOOHHH. You have no idea how much better I feel after reading this! That was the same kind of test that I used. Thank you so much for sharing that with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612319 Sun, 04 May 2014 23:46:53 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1612319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I got a positive with the weeks estimator digital in the evening and the next morning got betas done. They were 18! So they can definitely pick up that low. 15 weeks now. H&amp;H 9 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612312 Sun, 04 May 2014 23:26:57 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1612312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm feeling much better about it now. I think I just had a little freak-out moment. I know the RE wouldn't make a mistake. I'm spending too much brain power trying to calculate and make sure... my DH thinks I've gone insane. Time to just relax and enjoy the fact that it's real! Thank you girls!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612303 Sun, 04 May 2014 23:03:04 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1612303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: thank you! But I never had a negative test except for one digital that was late in the day on Friday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612302 Sun, 04 May 2014 23:01:40 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1612302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: I didn't have any negatives, except one negative digital that was later in the day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612296 Sun, 04 May 2014 22:43:21 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1612296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612293 Sun, 04 May 2014 22:34:14 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1612293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it makes you feel better, I had a positive digi at 12 DPO, and then got a negative digi at 13 DPO. I opened both tests, looked at both lines inside, and saw that 13 DPO was darker than 12 DPOs! Digitals are finicky, and I'm still pregnant at 13 weeks, so if you want to keep POASing (which I totally did!!!!), I'd use FRERs. Congrats again!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questionhcg#post-1612291 Sun, 04 May 2014 22:32:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1612291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some tests can detect better than their stated sensitivity as well... </p>
