Hi Jolene, congratulations on puking LOL! My 1st Beta on 3/27 14DPO was 96 and my 2nd 16DPO was 237. Do my numbers seem a little low? I am on prog suppositories so I guess that level is fine. I started having symptoms just before my BFP. I am very crampy (I thought AF was coming), lots of painful gas and those stretching pains everyone talks about. Oh yeah, I am EXHAUSTED too! I could sleep at any moment. Well as long as I still feel yucky I still feel Preggers!

sukiqo1-I think they are great betas! I've been looking around the board at people's siggys to compare my betas, and they're all so different. I think the biggest positive indicator is that it doubled in 48 hours like it was supposed to!

I'm on progesterone suppositories too. Do you use the white applicator thing and shoot the white pill up in your va-jay jay? This is my first time, and it's so gross when I wake up (the leakage). I hope that isn't TMI. Ewww.

i am right there with you on the suppositories, they are rather gross. but i am also doing the PIO shots, and have two wonderful bruises located on either side of my butt... i am just so gratfeul to finally have received this miracle that i am willing to do whatever is necessary to make sure that our little one sticks around for a while.

right now i keep looking at the clock wondering when my RE is going to call, so much is riding on this call... the things we do to ourselves

I'm really nervous about calling my RE's office for a beta. I poas again this morning and the line wasn't any darker than it was yesterday. I'm so worried that it was still the trigger and that I'll just be disappointed again when I get the results back from the blood test. I might just wait, test again tomorrow night and see what happens. Tomorrow will be 14 days post-trigger, so it should be completely out by then if it's not already, right?

Thanks, Daney. And congrats to you, too!!

I'm slightly reassured by the very mild symptoms I'm having: needing to pee about every 2 hours, being tired, and getting occassional waves of nausea.

Perseph-Do you go in for a beta tomorrow? I'm sure all is fine, especially if you're feeling symptoms. My line didn't change for a couple of days. I've POAS for 6 days in a row.

Hi Daney! Good to see ya!

I guess I'll call my RE in the morning and try to get a beta. I did a little google-ing (I know, not always a good idea..) and I read that trigger shots can take up to 40-45 hours to work.. a bit of a difference from the 36 hours I had previously heard. So I may have just ovulated late and implanted late. I couldn't resist testing again this evening and I got a bum test.. no lines at all. I figure that's God's way of telling me to just get over myself and enjoy the 2 positive tests.

i am all for calling the RE to get a beta, it just gives you more of a piece of mind. this cycle is so weird, i waited for my beta, and i haven't POAS at all, after POAS several times each cycle, it just seems like i should go pee on something just so that i have done it.

anyway, good luck with the RE
