Hello, I’m currently 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant in Australia and I’m wondering if a progesterone level of 60 is considered good. They mentioned that anything over 50 is acceptable, but I’m nervous that it should be higher.
Hello! I’m currently 4.5 weeks pregnant. Has anyone else been experiencing muscle cramp sensations in their stomach? If I move in a certain way, I feel cramps, but they aren’t like period cramps.
Additionally, has anyone else noticed an elevated heart rate at this point in their pregnancy? I’ve been feeling unsettled in my chest lately, like tightness but not related to my asthma.
Lab results were possibly mixed up… what happened? Has anyone else had a similar experience? If the results weren’t mixed up, could this be a chemical pregnancy?
Yesterday, I had my beta test 10 days after embryo transfer. The result was 38 and I was asked to come back for a second blood test on Monday. This is my first transfer and I am very nervous. I am not seeing significant progress on my at-home test, is this normal?
Should I be expecting an internal or over the belly ultrasound for my first ultrasound at 7 weeks and 2 days on Monday?
Hello everyone,
I am interested in hearing about any experiences of a PGT normal euploid measuring 6 days behind. Yesterday, I was 7 weeks and 6 days pregnant, and we went to the emergency room due to bleeding. Despite the baby measuring at 7 weeks, the gestational sac measured 7 weeks and 4 days. The heart rate was at 125 bpm. I am concerned about the future, as I haven’t come across many success stories of babies measuring behind despite knowing our dates. The ER doctor didn’t seem worried, but I am unsure.
I am currently on my 9th day after embryo transfer and I have not experienced any symptoms. Is this a cause for concern or is it normal? I had cramping for the first 5 days but now there are no symptoms at all.
I am currently 12 days past my 5-day embryo transfer and had my HCG trigger shot on the 20th of March with 2000IU. The bottom test is from the 20th night, the one above is from the 21st, the one above that is from the 22nd, and the topmost is from this morning. I am unsure of what to make of it and would appreciate any suggestions. This waiting period is excruciating.
Hello everyone, I am looking for some success stories because I am feeling very defeated. My ultrasound at 6 weeks and 5 days showed that the fetal pole is measuring at 5 weeks and 6 days. The NP said that the pregnancy isn’t viable due to the lack of heartbeat and being behind in development. Is there any hope that it could still continue to grow? I have a follow-up ultrasound scheduled for next Friday to confirm.
How can I determine if my two embryos have implanted before my ultrasound? Is a high HCG level indicative of multiple embryos? My last beta at 16dp3dt was 1500, but I am beginning to worry that it may be two embryos instead of one. 
Received my first positive test result! (Clearblue digital) Excited!! I am 6 days post 5 day transfer and eagerly waiting for my beta on 3/27! Still experiencing light spotting since late on day 4… Has anyone else experienced this?
I am surprised! We had our initial transfer on 2/28, experienced some bleeding before our blood test on 3/10 with no heavy bleeding or cramping. Despite this, I have been noticing symptoms throughout and expected them to fade as the medications wore off. However, I have taken 3 positive tests in the last 2 days at various times, and my husband and I have not engaged in activities that could affect my cycle or next transfer. I am unsure of what to make of this situation.
I am 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant and experiencing brown blood when I go up. I am confused about when to seek further medical advice.
Yesterday morning, my husband gave me my 53rd and final PIO injection. I wanted to share my excitement with people who understand. Although I didn’t struggle with PIO, towards the end, the routine became tiresome. This morning, not having to wake up early for the shot made me so happy. I’ve also finished taking Estradiol pills and finally feel somewhat like a normal pregnant woman.
However, I don’t know how long this happiness will last because now I might worry about my progesterone levels without the injections. I started the medicated cycle at the end of January and have been weaning off my meds since last Thursday. Today, I am 9 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My doctor reassured me that my placenta has taken over and I have no reason to worry. But the meds felt like a safety net for me. I worry about miscarriage every day and have had instances of very light spotting throughout this pregnancy, despite no issues with the baby or SCH on scans. Now, stopping the PIO adds to my worry. Can anyone relate to this feeling?
Beta results for 13 days post 5 day transfer just came in at 2,390. Feeling anxious as only one embryo was transferred. Next beta test scheduled for Wednesday.
Has anyone experienced subchorionic hematoma and bleeding at 5 weeks and 3 days? Does this appear to be a significant issue based on the image?
TW: Successful Beta Results
My FET was on 4th March and my betas have been positive. At 10dp5dt it was 634, at 14dp5dt it was 3992, and at 16dp5dt it was 7252. I’m thrilled but a little concerned that the numbers didn’t double the second time. Today was my scan, and I should be 5w5d according to calculators, but I measured 5w3d instead. We saw the gestational sac and yolk sac, but no fetal pole. I’m feeling anxious and worried about being 2 days behind. Any similar experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hey everyone,
I’m seeking reassurance for my wife after a positive result on our 4th transfer. She felt cramps and sickness yesterday, but is now concerned as symptoms have disappeared. Did anyone experience intermittent symptoms in the early days of pregnancy (week 3)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have another question! Could you share your symptoms at 5/6 weeks pregnant? I’m experiencing sore boobs and bloating - could it be from the progesterone? I want to feel every symptom to confirm my pregnancy, but I have to wait until next Friday for a scan or blood test.
