Yes it was. It was the first test she had me do when I started spotting. The results were that my progesterone was in the normal range but just on the edge of minimum.

Then it sounds like a good idea for you to take the supplements since it can't hurt!

Robyn!! I'm still waiting for you in the DDC!

I'll get there, Carlie! My HPT was negative today, but I feel so much like I did when I got pregnant that I truly believe I am pregnant but it's just not showing up yet. Boy will I be disappointed if I don't get a BFP!

Today was my progesterone test and I asked the doctor to add the quantitative hCG to the order. I should have those results tomorrow. The doctor said that even if that shows nothing I could still be pregnant and to test again later in the week with a HPT.

The problem with that is, I only have 6 gel tubes left from my last pregnancy and those things cost over $700 of which I have to pay $250 before insurance covers any of it. I really don't know what to do.

I cross my fingers for you Robyn!! Hopefully that blood test will come back positive for you!

Yikes! That's a lot!!!

Thanks! I hope so but I'm trying to remember that it's okay and I might still be pregnant if I have a hCG of zero.

You going to test again soon, Robyn?

you get your blood test results yet?

Belita · #48 February 9th, 2012, 04:20 PM

I'm not allowing myself to test until Sunday at 14 DPO. I had DH hide my tests from me. I'm also trying to stop myself from analyzing everything. I will say that my spotting was just the one red spotting yesterday and is now brown, so at least it's old blood today.

No results yet.

I'm now being told I'll have a phone call from them tomorrow.

When are you testing?

Lav · #49 February 9th, 2012, 04:24 PM

just read that in your journal

I'm testing on Sunday too. We'll be testing together!

It's great that the spotting is brown now, that means there is a great chance it was IB!

Belita · #50 February 9th, 2012, 04:29 PM

That's another reason I'm forcing myself to wait. I don't know if it's pre-AF or IB, but if it's IB and I just got it yesterday I'm sure it'll take a bit for the hCG to build up. I hope we both get good results on Sunday!!!

Also, if I don't know if I'm pregnant or not yet, I can tell myself that uterine twinges are probably AF cramps and it's less time that I know I'm pregnant and worrying about uterine cramps.
