Context: previous 2 early losses (4 weeks and 4w3d), once again positive tests with rising betas (see below)

8dpo: 5
10dpo: 44
12dpo: 116 (PM draw)
15dpo: 321 (AM draw)
Currently waiting for another result that will be here tomorrow..

I️ am so excited. Up until this point, I’ve never had rising betas, I’ve never had dark tests, I’ve never had a dye stealer. I’ve only ever had loss. But NOW it’s seemingly different (once again.. for now).

Yesterday driving into work (wasn’t even raining) and as I️ pulled off my exit, there was a rainbow. Maybe I’m crazy, but it FELT like the universe was telling me it’s MY baby, it’s MY time. I️ can’t stop thinking about the future and baby showers and buying all the things… someone please (gently) slow my roll. We’ve told NOBODY (except my therapist - shoutout Madeline🤣), which I️ think is contributing. My RE will do an early ultrasound at 1000 HcG which is assuming to be next week.

Can I️ be excited? Should I️ chill out? I️ don’t know where to sit in my emotions besides for this being uncharted territory.

Thanks in advance 🫶🏼

Hey yall

4w2d - have you ever had your FRERs be dark (essentially as dark as the control line) but never had a dye stealer and it work out as a viable pregnancy?

2 previous early chemicals and first time I’ve seen positive tests that are actually dark but seems like it can’t get any darker. Thanks in advance and thanks for being patient 🫶🏼

Note: I️ know I’m not supposed to correlate FRER with HcG levels

Hey yall

Posted a few days ago over a whopping 5 first bHcG blood test at 8dpo. Second result is in at 44 for 10dpo or 3w5d (shoutout gestational age comment)! Any success with these numbers? Will post FRER for tracking in the comments, slightly nervous todays looks lighter than yesterday (2 prior early losses, never had a beta as high as 44 or tests these dark so now I’m in uncharted territory)!

Thanks all!

Hey yall

8dpo (yesterday) I️ got a handful of positives, some squinters, but definitely had color. 2 previous early losses and 9 months of TTC.. I’m horrified of this going south.

Got a blood draw yesterday and it came back at 5 which I️ don’t know how to feel. Today my FRER looks way darker compared to yesterday so.. I️ know it’s supposed to double.. but an HcG of 5 makes my heart ache a bit. I’ll be getting a second draw tomorrow.

Today I️ also got a positive early detect clearblue digital which yesterday was negative so maybe it’s going the right way?

Any advice? Any success stories? I’m absolutely praying for my sticky baby 🫩🤞🏼🌈

Hey everyone!

8 months TTC - 2 early losses, no LC.

I’m losing hope. Each cycle I️ start very optimistic, excited to try again and feel very hopeful. By the end of my ovulation phase and into my TWW I️ begin to lose hope. Each cycle that passes I️ get more and more defeated. My husband and I️ are both in our mid twenties, no obvious health concerns, have been seeing an RE and she has no concerns. He’s going for a sperm fragmentation test next week but overall the RE isn’t expecting anything massive.

How do I️ not lose hope? I️ know it can take up to 12 months for a successful pregnancy but how do I️ not lose hope? I constantly fear I’m unable to carry a child or that this is payback from the universe for evening wrong I’ve done (I️ know, crazy, but if you’ve been in this TTC hell hole I️ think you can understand).

Has anyone had success 8-12 months TTC without IVF or other medicinal support?

I’m on all the supplements, progesterone after luteal phase, tracking, temping, all the things. Any advice or support is absolutely warranted and honestly, begged for. Thank you all in advance 🥺

Posted in another group but wanted advice here too

Hey folks

Been TTC for 8 months, 2 early losses, first “Mothers Day” since belief at one (two) points, I️ would also be a mother. How am I️ supposed to navigate this?

I️ feel like I️ shouldn’t be as upset as my situation could’ve been much worse considering they were early losses. However, I️ don’t want to discredit that at two points in time, my babies were trying.

I️ don’t know how to feel or how to go about this upcoming holiday.

Feeling angry and resentful but also sad and disappointed but also grateful for the few moments.

This sucks.
