@karenbme: Your progression looks beautiful.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you're sparing yourself betas!!@Sams mom: Happy to hear your little one's tooth is okay!
@Chuckles: Any news about your blood draw?
@yellowbeach: Hope Thursday is a nice break. Glad you're spared a day, whew!
@Kaohinani: Hope you're feeling okay.
Betas again this morning. The nurse is happy about my hCG rise over the weekend, but progesterone levels (already low) took a dive down. Supplements and more betas. But feeling much more optimistic than Friday!
-
@yellowbeach: taken within the time frame? How dehydrated were you? Much of a hold?
-
@Sams Mom: Wasn't apparent right at 3 minutes (per OSOM box) but taken at 5 min. Urine seemed pretty concentrated. One cup of coffee and a 8 oz water since this morning.
-
@yellowbeach: eternal optimist here, I believe it
-
@yellowbeach: I trust that OSOM for sure! It looks way darker than your last ones, too! Crossing my fingers for good betas for you! ETA: I bet it gets darker as it sits, too!! (which I personally think is ok to still trust on OSOMs haha)
@breakouttheicecream: Glad your betas are looking good! And that you're able to get some progesterone supplementation going!
-
@LAZB: Sorry about the rollercoaster and AF. Hopefully the fact that you have some solid TTC plans in place (soon!!) softens the blow a little. But it all still sucks.
-
@karenbme: Awesome progression!
-
@Sams Mom: Crosshairs, whoop whoop! And glad Sam's tooth is ok!
Is anyone else having trouble replying across multiple pages? Or is it just me *facepalm*
I'm just hanging out here during the longest. cycle. ever. I'm on CD29 and I'm STILL only 6 dpo. My boobs are sore today but that could be a myriad of things. Twiddling my fingers until I get to pee on something...
-
I HAVE A JOB!!!
Not exactly the pay I wanted, but the hospital I wanted to work for and great benefits
-
@Sams Mom: Woohoo! Congrats! Best news of my week
-
@yellowbeach: oh man! What do you think ?!? When will you test again?
-
@Sams Mom: congrats!!! Sometimes a positive working environment is priceless if ykwim
-
@Sams Mom: Awesome! I bet that is such a relief! Congratulations!
-
@Sams Mom: that’s fantastic congratulations!
@yellowbeach: Oh I so want this to be real for you. Fingers crossed for a good result on Wednesday!
@breakouttheicecream: Glad your levels are looking good! Fingers crossed the extra progesterone does the trick. 🤞🤞
@bees_knees: Thanks!
@Kaohinani: How are you doing today? Still planning to POAS tomorrow?
-
@karenbme: @bees_knees: @fuzzypeaches: @yellowbeach: thank you ladies! I am so relieved, and am honestly looking forward to being back to work.
-
@Sams Mom: congrats! That’s awesome!
@yellowbeach: no way that’s not real! Osoms always took longer to read than the directions for me, but they were always accurate! -
@breakouttheicecream: that’s great!
@bees_knees: it’s so hard to keep up replying for more than one page, not just you -
@LAZB: I’m 12 days post trigger and my RE said it metabolizes out by 10 days for most people. I’m just confused why the FRER wouldn’t have a real line if the OSOM is true.
-
@yellowbeach: because FRERs suck where you live for some crazy reason #FRERfail
We need to see what bananasareyellow has to say about FRER vs OSOM some she's the one that started this craze
-
@Sams Mom: haha I'm here!! In my experience osoms are far more sensitive and reliable than frers. I had lines on osoms (confirmed with beta) with nothing on a FRER- after that I gave up on frers for good. Osoms may be labeled as 20miu but in my experience they are more like 2miu. See below (one of my past chemicals) for an example. The morning after the 13dpo osom my beta was 3! I've seen some reports of false positives on osoms - most commonly due to people having a basal low level of circulating hCG in their system without being pregnant. Evaps are possible with any brand, but I never experienced one with an osom so they seem uncommon. Early on with osoms you won't get a line until after the read time - for all my initial positives the line was visible by the 20 minutes then developed a bit darker over the next hour. Osoms progress quickly so if you are pondering evap vs basal hCG vs early positive a test the following day should clarify. I think that hits the osom high points! Good luck to everyone currently in limbo!!!
-
@breakouttheicecream: Glad to hear your numbers look good. Hopefully the supplementing will move your progesterone number up!
@karenbme: Sounds like a good plan to wait for more info! I'm going to wait until my ultrasound on Thursday to join the due date board.
@fuzzypeaches: Sorry to see you got a bfn. That stinks.
@LAZB: Glad you at least have closure. And plus you have a great plan going forward.
@Sams Mom: Congrats on the job!!
@yellowbeach: I'm glad your RE can get you in sooner to figure out what's going on.
Fingers crossed that OSOM is the real deal. AFM, my beta this morning was 3200
So I go for my first ultrasound on Thursday hoping to see the fetal pole at least. I'll only be 5+2 though. I am really nervous about another blighted ovum or the possibility that my body is hanging on to a genetically malformed embryo. I don't think I"ll feel secure until the AMA screenings show that it's genetically normal.
-
@bananasareyellow: thank you
@yellowbeach:'s OSOM on the last page showed at 5 minutes and it looks pretty convincing for 12 dpt
-
@Sams Mom: That is a lovely osom! Looks very promising to me!
@yellowbeach: do you have a pic of the osom dry? FX it's the real deal! -
@bananasareyellow: Thanks for all the OSOM insight. Knowing that your 13dpo osom was a beta of 3 definitely makes me think this could still be trigger.
And... that time DD tried to eat my FRER...
-
@bananasareyellow: this is it like right now (and dry)
-
@yellowbeach: my child has been caught with a discarded pee stick shoved down the front of his pull-up 🤦♀️ maybe he shouldn't be in the bathroom when I test
🤷♀️
-
@yellowbeach: That's a beautiful line, but I agree it could be trigger. If it's real it should be darker tomorrow. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
-
@Chuckles: That’s a great level! Good luck at your ultrasound on Thursday.
-
@yellowbeach: @Sams Mom:
-
I've set up the next POAS board if anyone wants to (who am I kidding, nobody really wants to) roll over to the next month.
-
@Sams Mom: CONGRATULATIONS!
-
Sorry ladies, like no sleep last night. Yesterday DH spiked a fever 🤒 (I’m sure I have him whatever I am getting over) and sure enough he wanted to be doted on, even though he did nothing for me when I was sick. He also managed to
With that, I bring you at 3 minutes, my stark white OSOM and FRER indent. 10 min pic to follow shortly.
-
@yellowbeach: Ugh, I’m sorry.
-
And here is the @10 min “mess with my head” update:
-
@yellowbeach: if osoms are f-ing with us now I don’t know what to do. In all honesty, I’m torn. I see lines on both, and 10 minutes isn’t out of the time frame you are supposed to check. However, I would think they’d be darker at 12 dpo. That’s not to say it’s impossible, especially if you implanted on the later end or have a slow starter, but just from my years of POAS, that’s what I’m thinking.
-
@yellowbeach: I see both too 🤔 the frer I could pass of as an indent (I’ve been getting like those too) but the osom is really positive. It just doesn’t seem possible it’s leftover trigger at this point.
I think it could still be a slow starter?What a rollercoaster I’m sure you would rather just know one way or another...
-
@yellowbeach:
-
I think I’m going to join you @yellowbeach in wtf territory.
Thai is this morning, which looks exactly the same as yesterday afternoon. Do you think indent?? I guess it doesn’t really matter since I’d it was going to be something it would have progressed from yesterday to today 🤔
-
@fuzzypeaches: f-ing frers, I’m seriously so annoyed with them. Sorry you’re also in limbo
-
@LAZB: right?! I’m never going to use these again. They are all more intense at 10 min then fade a bit which makes me feel more indent than anything. But def pink to it.
I guess it’s possible I’m having the babiest chemical (would be my fifth
