So sorry
I sure hope he's still open, that was a big deciding factor in our donor! Fingers crossed. I wonder if he is obligated to for all the children conceived prior to withdrawing....
In other news. ..I think the Facebook idea is a GREAT idea and I'd start one today but I'm not officially apart of the group.
Also agreed about open communication thing. If anyone finds out anything definitive on that please be sure to share!
I just turned 50 and fabulous!!! Enjoying life with my amazing family!!

Monday came...and with it also came the spotting. Nothing real significant...but definitely a little something on the tiolet paper. Told the wife I thought we were out...but she thought I should take a test that night anyway. Fast forward three minutes and you guys...it was bfp! I mean..it was faint...but easily viewable. Didn't need any light behind it or to squint to see it. It was there!
So I'm cautiously excited right? Wife wakes up this am and again wants me to test. It's only been 7 hours but ok. Annnnnd nothing! I mean if there's a line it's because I'm squinting like crazy. And spotting is heavier today. Still brown and not red...but heavier.
So...I have NO idea if we're pregnant or not. I keep reading "a line is a line" and that line was FOR SURE there last night...but the spotting concerns me. I'm either slowly starting or its implantation blood. Guess tell will tell...
Digital testing will only pick up if your hgc levels are above 50 (your number should double every two days) I would try another non digital test and wait a day or so on the digital!
Hurry up and keep testing in the am! You did not do the trigger shot did you?
I do have news...
Started spotting verrrry lightly on Monday (day we got positive hpt) and it continued on Tuesday. So with my wife's urging I called the gyno and pressed until they'd let me come in a take a blood test.
Results today: positive.
Excited because we're pregnant! It is possible!
Why am I not excited...hcg level came back low...at 18.
We of course started googling normal levels...this and that...and it's just hard to tell. My symptoms don't really fit a chemical pregnancy. I have continued to spot today...but still super light and brownish.
From what I've read I am about 3-4 days past implantation...which would make the hcg level pretty spot on.
Meh...now I have to wait until tmr to go back in for another blood test...and then wait until Friday for results.
I appreciate yall letting me write out me experience here. As it turns out 5260 has some really good swimmers. My swimming pool just needs to be cooperative!
I'll update again on Friday.
Yay for your BFP!!!
Don't let those levels bother you,mine came back at 19, two days later it was 90!!!
We just saw our baby again today, heartbeat was 170bpm!
You are well on your way. I bet the spotting has something to do with you short LP! Stay positive my friend!
Bamferguson....that is so awesome about the heartbeat. I'm already emotional lol...eyes teared up for you guys!!! I am hoping the spotting is related to the short LP. I'm also hoping my progrestrone holds out and makes the Bean stick (<--- just heard that saying the other day...kind of ironic because that's our last name). It's almost 8pm and spotting has continued....been going on for approx 58 hours now...2.5 days. Which isn't totally unusual but it needs to stopit! Blood test in the am...that'll tell all I suppose
Fingers crossed for you and your baby bean
Blood tests results are in and my levels rose from 18 to 58 in 40ish hours. Oh my I'M SO EXCITED!
WE'RE PREGNANT!
Do you guys think that maybe he knows his number is 5260 and googled it and saw this thread and was like "whoa...I have babies out there!" and it freaked him out?!?
Prolly not.
So can anyone advise how long it takes for NW to approve the sibling registry thing? I signed up a few days ago and I still am not seeing anything. I dunno if it hasn't been approved or what's going on.
Has there been a FB page started yet??

Thankyou very much! I'm patiently awaiting results from yet another blood test -- I guess to just confirm the numbers are going up properly. I'm pretty confident everything is going ok yet still a tinge of nervousness. I'll post when I find out!
I'm sure everything is good. Excited for when you get to see your lo for the first time.

pashakins32 -- I sent you a PM. Excited about this fb group for sure!!! I hope everyone signs up
You guys...I got my Blood test back from Saturday. 4wks 1 days beta results -- 282!! It was just a 58 about 50 hours ago. So it more than doubled...it quintupled in just over two days.
My wife is terrified it's twins. I don't think so...according to what I've read it's just on the high side...but not in twin territory yet. Still tho...glad to see that number raising.
I'm still so happy for you Gellybean!
