Pregnant???

I have been getting faint positive since 26.11.09 - 2 days before period dues. A total of 4 tests were done every other morning all resulting faint positives.

Aren't you happy for me? After trying for few months, finally, getting a positive (faint positive), hubby and I had been overwhelmed with the news for the past few days.

It is only 2 days past my period due, but since it's been a real nightmare for me having a D&C for the past miscarriage, we decide to visit the gyn earlier, just in case.

However, the visit to the gyn made me worried! Nothing appeared in ultrasound (Ok, we couldn't expect anything for 4 weeks pregnant), no double line showed in the test given in clinic (Ok, since it's still early, second urine may not have enough HCG to trigger the lines).

Thus, a blood test for Beta HCG is required to confirm pregnancy. We return to get the report by noon. The result is 18.8mIU/mL. The gyn seems a bit uncertain about my pregnancy, and I'm appointed to be back a week later (7.12.09).

18.8mIU/mL is really very low. It can't be able to trigger any lines for a 20mIU/mL test (which is suppose to be the most sensitive test in the market). Then how come I could have 4 cheapie tests getting faint positive??? Is it a symptom leading to a miscarriage???

Keeping your finger crossed for me! Pray hard that no more miscarriage.

Spotting at 11 dpo

I'm having some spotting yesterday @ 11dpo. As of today, no more spotting! I have been waking up around 4am everyday for 2 weeks and some cramping on 8dpo - 10dpo.

It's 4 days before period due, so hopefully this is implantation bleeding, not early menstrual!

Keeping my finger crossed!

Basal body temperature charting

Until now, it has been 6 months past D&C. Hubby and I had been trying since 3 months past D&C. No luck though.

Being a desperate wife, I search for tips to get pregnant faster. lol! You know? That's getting more and more people offering my mother in-law on how to get pregnant! One of them suggest to avoid cold drinks and eat "bak foong yun" after menstrual for 7 days. One told me to eat "Eu Yan Sang bak foong yun". And one told me to go for a gyn. *sigh*

Pressure coming from all around!!!

So I bought a basal thermometer and started my charting from the beginning of this cycle. Through charting our basal body temperature (BBT), we could know our body better and recognize our signs of ovulation. BBT is your body temperature at rest (wake up time). BBT before ovulation is at a lower range while BBT stays in the higher range throughout the luteal (post-ovulation) phase until the next cycle begins. BBT stays high if there is a pregnancy.

Hopefully through this charting method I'll conceive soon enough.
