Well, I tested again this morning. Very early. 4am in fact. The line was a little darker and still there. Was still not that happy (though relieved it hadn't disappeared).
Went to the chemist and bought different brands as I think that the brand I was using was a bit dodgy. I spent £23 on 2 FRs and 2 CB digis. Money well spent. Tested just now (midday) and very strong positive on the FR and 2-3 weeks on CB digi. Feel a bit more excited. Was worried it was a chemical. I will be able to relax a little bit now.
Have no symptoms apart from bloating (left over from EC) and occasional cramps. Am tired but that's because I haven't been sleeping due to anxiety!
Called the clinic and have my first scan on the 16th Jan. They tried to give me Friday 13th but I turned it down. Don't want to tempt fate there!
There is no BETA test, it's quite common here at British clinics. My clinic is NHS and private but it is very well thought of and one of the best in London. I am sure there are reasons. I would rather have one just for my own piece of mind.
I will probably do regular POAS until I have had the scan, but the 2-3 weeks on the CB digi is good. If you are are unfamiliar, the conception indicator can say 1-2, 2-3 or 3+ (when the doctors here would say 3-4, 4-5 and 5+) so I reckon my levels must be pretty good.
I drank pineapple juice and ate brazil nuts after ET, listened to Zita West IVF relaxation CD every night, had no booze and no caffeine. Don't know if this is what made it work, but I wanted to try everything as I didn't want to regret anything and wonder "what if?".
Oh my goodness, that would drive me nuts not to get a beta. Glad your tests are dark and keeping you in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMy last clinic didn't routinely do beta tests but did with me because of my history. If you want one, then they should do it if you ask (or you GP should be able to sort you out). I think maybe they don't do them because one test on its own doesn't tell them very much and repeat blood tests are stressful.
ReplyDeleteAt least it's not long until your scan - although I always found the bit after a BFP just as tortuous as the 2ww!
Back when I was naive and fertile in my 20's, the purpose of a blood test was to only confirm a pregnancy. You were never told your HCG levels. Life is a lot simpler when we know less. But infertility has turned us into unqualified (debatable) fertility specialists. So maybe it's a good thing you don't have levels to share and fester over. For a 2nd line to appear within a minute is damn good enough for me. Huge congrats, looks like you my friend are pregnant and your family will grow in 2012!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!!! Hoping the lines keep getting darker and looking fOrward to hearing about your first scan!
ReplyDeleteI just got my pregnancy test result and guess what, it was positive. It confirms I am 10 weeks pregnant after 5 years of Agony and trips to different hospitals and specialists. But unfortunately, I am sad, while I am supposed to be glad, I am sad because I would have been pregnant earlier than now, if I never listen only to my friend advice, I should have gotten my own baby earlier, believe in nature, i had Blocked Fallopian Tube I came across it success story of the great Eka who help women conceive with his spiritual method. I have bilateral blocked fallopian tubes and my doctor flush the tubes but it got blocked again and I got frustrated with the procedure and decided to research about other options for opening fallopian tube, after fail attempts to open it by doing the flushing my doc suggested. I did research online and I came across Eka email (dreka14demons@gmail.com) and his work, every information seems right to me and I was pleased, I told my doctor about the product I discover but he said there is no herbs and spiritual cleanse that can unblock tube naturally. I listen to him and went for IVF and after 2 failed attempts and total waste of money. I decided on my own to try DR Eka for his spiritual cleanse and pregnancy spell I got pregnant in 9 weeks. After this, my doc is steel amazed at this, I advise every other woman with fallopian tube issues ,pcos and other infertility problem to do their research and don’t base your option only on anyone’s advice, I did and it resulted in waste of money and time, contact Dr Eka on email: (dreka14demons@gmail.com) because I have discover DR Eka long time ago and I would have been pregnant earlier if I follow my heart and did the spell but I disregard it because of my doctor’s advice and I am annoyed at myself but at the same time I am happy that I made the wise decision by going back to Dr Eka for spiritual help. Now I am a strong believer of spiritual and natural medicine. Thank You. Contact Dr Eka on email for help on email: (dreka14demons@gmail.com).....
