Brain storming and information needed (pregnancy mentioned loss mentioned )

I'm so confused. I had a d and c July 12. 2 weeks later my hcg was down to 7. I didn't follow it to 0 but started AF August 10. We didn't check ovulation or even DTD the next cycle. But for some reason my AF showed up on August 27th. (17 day cycle). I normally have pretty short cycles 23-25 days. Anyway...I started checking ovulation on CD 6. Nothing...I used the First Response Digital and it said no everyday. Although when I popped it out it looked like it was pretty dark on cd 10 - cd 12. But there is only one line on it and nothing to compare it with. We DTD Sept. 5. And only September 5th. We were waiting for the YES at that point. Fast forward to yesterday Sept. 15th. I was feeling really sick to my stomach and had heartburn really bad so I suspected pregnancy. Bought some test. I dipped it. And immediately it was positive. Then as the 3 minutes were up the test line was DARKER than the control line. Yay I thought...but then realized man that is really dark. I couldn't be too far along because we had sex only 11 days before. So I called OB. Went to have bloodwork. They started me on Prometrium 200mg x 1 orally. I got my results today. HCG 336. Progesterone 4.6. Progesterone not good at all and HCG seem super high to me.

So what I need to brain storm is how many days post ovulation could I be? I've tried to figure it out and my brain hurts. The only thing I can figure out is that I must of ovulated right exactly when we had sex and that I implanted super fast. I'm really concerned about my Progesterone level. 4.6 is super low for a pregnancy. Hoping I am just super early and progesterone just hadn't caught up. I know with my sweet Nattie I my Progestrone at 5 1/2 weeks was like 10-12 and I didn't take supplements and of course she is super healthy and a cutie pie

Please help me figure out some positive outcomes

I really need some sort of hope. I won't find out until monday what my levels are doing. I HATE THIS.

omg Amanda congrats!!!!! I'll ponder your EDD while you come join May DDC with me

glad they're putting you on progesterone supplements...i'm thinking maybe you O'd a little earlier than you think + a really early implantation? or it could be twins?? Your hcg level is definitely high unless you were closer to 5 weeks along...

For comparison I'm relatively certain I o'd 9/2 or 9/3 and I got first + (very faint) on 9/11...and while I'm not sure what my hcg level is precisely I know it's less than 100 today.

First of all,

That is great news!! I hope the prometrium helps bring your progesterone levels up!

Your ovulation date is definitely confusing. BUT, if the only day you DTD this cycle was the 5th then you had to have O'd around then. Maybe it is twins! I'm sorry you have to wait until Monday for results. The waiting is the hardest!! Definitely let us know as soon as you have them.

Thanks girls. I'm just so confused about the whole thing and not entirely optimistic. I had 3 pregnancy test all FRER's from the same box and today's isn't as dark as yesterdays or the day before.

The waiting is going to kill me. I wish I could know right away if this baby is going to stick or not.

Congrats Lara!!! I need to give you my facebook info. I'll message you right now before I forget!

Congrats Amanda! I agree with the other ladies. It's really hard to try to figure out when you O'd but it would have had to have been around the only day you DTD. ((HUGS)) I hope you get good results back.
