Okay, Tara: First of all, I was right - less than three is a negative, more than 25 is a positive.  In between - is in between.  Second, I had a level of 1,517 on the 8th of July (2010).  That would have put me at 5 weeks since LMP, aka 2.5 weeks.  But, since the levels double pretty much every day, I'm guessing that that means that a week earlier, my levels would have been 5.9.  So, maybe you are pregnant, and in a week, you'll be over a thousand. :)

Isra, thanks for the input. I like having something to compare things to even if it's off....bad habit ;)Nicole, glad that you have the opportunity to have some space. Not sure what happened, but I hope it wasn't something really bad and only a little bump in the road. Trying to send you some peace right now! So maybe AF is trying to start I went to get in the shower and had gone to the bathroom first. When I wiped there was a little bit of pink. Not a lot. Maybe this is the beginning of her trying to start. When I first got up I had a couple of sharp pains and nothing since or cramping. 

Isra- I wondered maybe if it was that although it seems so late. I have a hard time believeing that I O'd that far out. I do like the cheering though ;) 

Hello ladies!!!

I have been reading but things have been so incredibly crazy--and I have been so incredibly sick that I haven't gotten a chance to write!!

Tara: Oh I hope AF stays far far far away and the blood draw was just the early early numbers of that BFP! 

Those who AF showed I am bummed for you!  Here's to December bringing many BFP's!

Those in limbo--AF stay far far away--these ladies are fabulous and deservice those beautiful two lines!!

AFM: I am pretty miserable.  And--I thought yesterday was better (which in a way scared me) however, I was re-assured that I was NOT getting better and hit with a terrible nausea and dry heaving after lunch :(   Was better for the afternoon but still in and out--and today I have totally regretted only taking 1 zofran yesterday.  I took one early this morning and it helped a little bit--but after lunch I was miserable.  Fell asleep in the car after grocery shopping (let me tell you how incredibly hard it is to grocery shop when you feel like throwing up!) and came home and slept another 1.5 hours--seemed to be doing a little bit better--but I still haven't eaten anything this afternoon.  I am getting hungry so I should find something--I am just so miserable :(  Oh and add a massive work schedule on top of everything and I am just overwhelmed.  I am working 4 days this week, and 4 days next week--however they coincide so that its Thursday-->Monday straight.  :( 

Oh ya...and things with our house are held up :(  The bank was supposed to schedule the appraisal and they didn't--so we are looking at an apprasial 3 weeks out and a closing date of December 28th :(  We are in talks to rent the house until everything gets done since the owner has moved out already and we really don't want it to sit empty and chance freezing pipes and such.  Le sigh. 

Like I said--I have been reading and am rooting for everyone!!! :)

Tara, I just looked at your chart again and realized that you're only at 7 DPO!  That's REALLY early to get a positive test!  Usually, the minimum for a blood test is 10 DPO.  So, rest easy.  Yeah, I know AF was supposed to start 6 days after your last HCG shot.  But that little sticky bean might just be implanting now, so of course your HCG levels won't show up as pregnant yet.  Sticky beans only start releasing lots of HCG after they implant, silly girl.  As long as AF hasn't shown yet, you're good.  Let's assume that that's when you O'd, ok?

Also, you do realize that your LMP is not going to accurately reflect how far along you are.  I'm assuming that Dr. B. will take that into account, but you need to know that you're NOT 5 weeks along; you're 3 weeks along (because we take out the extra 2 weeks before O happened).  NO ONE gets a BFP at 3 weeks, hun.  Okay?  Rest easy, stop stressing, that BFP is on its way, because AF is MIA.

Simone - How are you feeling?  How is Trent?

Christine - You are super-duper-busy! Hope you can rent the house in the meantime, and that everything works out the way you want.  I know what you mean about feeling better - it's nice but always worrisome.  Carry some ginger around, it should help you, even when you skipped the Zofran.  Hope you start feeling better soon.  Hope you manage to do okay during the next 5 weeks, and then start feeling better, because you passed the toughest trimester. :)
