Big, fat juju request

choirgirl · May 2011

Since having DS, I haven't had a high temp, still trending upward, at 13dpo with the exception of my chemical pg in December. Before him, there were some, but 2 were on clomid, one was a chemical, and or two dropped at 14dpo, but my luteal phase was 14 days way back then, and it's been consistent at 13 since DS.

If it stays up tomorrow, I get to get my betas drawn!!

Other random evidence: Because I take luteal hCG injections, I have hCG in my system from 2dpo until it dies out, so I test it out with ICs. The four previous months, I watched it get lighter and ligher, until 13dpo you could only see a line in certain light and if you were squinting at exactly the right spot, and by 14dpo there was absolutely no line.

This morning, the line was as dark or darker than yesterday's line. And darker than the 13dpo the last 4 months. No squinting.

I can't or even believe symptoms because of the hCG, but I will say that out of the blue, when DS elbowed me in the boob the last 2 nights during stories, I thought I was going to shoot through the ceiling.

My FRER was negative, but I'm not worried about that. My FRER was never positive during the 3 days my digital gave me a positive during my chemical in December. I'm actually glad it's negative, because then if my temps are up and the IC shows a darker line, I'm going to use an FRER and a digital tomorrow before calling the RE. They were a little hesitant to let me come in tomorrow for betas bc the hCG could still be in my system, but if I can show them a negative from today, and if I'm lucky enough to have a line tomorrow, that should alleviate their concern.

I can't wait until Wednesday, or their recommended Thursday, because we are leaving town for a week on Thursday around 9, and the RE is right on the way to the airport, so I can get a second beta drawn on Thursday and get the results when we land in Boston.

Anyway, all the juju you can send that this is finally my month would just be forever appreciated!! We'd really like to avoid IUI#2 and all of its associated OOP costs, you know?
