@offtoneverland Congrats, girl! Wild that the Wondfo turned before FRER! Must be a very sensitive batch! That is sweet to apologize, although it seems like you did your best possible due diligence before coming to the conclusion that the first Wondfo was faulty.
I read your post about the Wondfos and I didn't think it was inappropriate because the BFN's too and that you were genuinely concerned about the batch. It has been tough in TTGP the last couple weeks so it's good that you recognize how that could have been hurtful.

@zamora_spin Thanks! I still don't know about that test. It was the only one in the batch that gave a positive result and it looked odd when it dried, so who knows what it was. I was so afraid that the TTGPers would hate me so I'm glad to hear you thought my response was reasonable. I'm a sensitive person and hate making mistakes!
@offtoneverland - I had a false positive last cycle on my last Wondfo the same day that AF came, so I didn't question your post about a possible bad batch.
@TravelingCouple - I'm glad you had fun on your mini-vacation!! And so happy to hear your betas have been great!! Keeping my FX for your internal sono!
Just wanted to say I love lurking this thread and am so excited all of you are joining us (and like, basically running the board)!
@izza2 with you 100% on the flu shot thing. The government is out to get us all but let's all ignore the facts that actual diseases can be just as dangerous in pregnancy... nurse me was holding back A LOT!
I have a fairly good guess who is annoying you all but I'm too nervous to message and find out. I'm always afraid I'm the annoying one. Social anxiety much? Haha, but really if I'm posting annoying things totally let me know.
@offtoneverland Didn't even think twice about that...If anything, I'm so thankful your test was correct and that you're ktfu. Seriously nothing but joy for you and everyone in this thread. You were a great contributor and supporter on ttgp. I don't think anyone could feel anything hateful just because you were questioning Wondfos. Seriously, stop worrying I'll miss you on ttgp though....
Update, maybe TW? I just started spotting red and I'm kind of freaking out. DH and I carpool to work and he took the car to an offsite meeting for several hours so I have no way of calling or going to the doctor right now. I'm hoping he gets back soon. I still haven't told him that I'm KU but I guess I'll have to tell him after work so that I can call the doctor! I feel bad posting this here since I haven't contributed much to this thread yet but I really needed to get this off my chest as I have no one else to tell!
@offtoneverland call your doctor, see what they have to say. How much red? From my experience, avoid going to the ER unless you're in pain, but obviously I'm not a doctor. How far along are you today? Could it still be implantation spotting? Or, like, IDK - it seems like I read online about not initial implantation spotting, but like spotting due to the egg getting sort of settled in there, if that makes sense.
*TW for loss mentioned* @offtoneverland spotting is always worrying, I totally understand. I have had spotting with all 3 of my pregnancies. One ended in m/c, but I also spotted with my DS and he's now almost 3yrs old. And I had one time of spotting so far with this pregnancy. There's a lot going on down there and it's impossible not to worry. Just try to see your doc as soon as you can and ask if they can check your beta numbers. They'll probably draw them today and then again on Friday to see if they are going up. Are you experiencing cramping? I'm sorry you're going through this, I am hoping that all is well and it's just your LO burying in there.
@doxiemoxie212 It's just spotting for now. It just started about an hour ago. I'll see if it gets heavier. I'm 3+6 today, I think. I'm not having any cramping at all which hopefully is a good thing. *TW* With my CP I had intense cramping, so I'm hoping it's not that. *end TW* I'm going to call my doctor ASAP, but can't do it from work as I don't have have my cell phone on me and can't make the call from my work phone without my coworkers overhearing.
@krashke@TravelingCouple Missed your messages while I was responding. Thanks, guys! I appreciate your kind words and reassurance. @TravelingCouple Since I don't have any cramping, maybe the spotting is not a bad sign? I'll for sure update you guys after I see the doctor/hopefully get a beta draw.
@offtoneverland I spotted with DS (bright red), but it was a result of sex a few days prior. My cervix was aggravated, resulting in spotting. My doctor wasn't concerned about very minimal spotting (I didn't fill a liner). I'd call your doctor when you have time though to see if they could get you in for blood work or an US.
@offtoneverland I have heard of the post implantation spotting @doxiemoxie212 mentioned. I think it’s a good idea to call your dr when you can to see if you can do betas just for peace of mind, but spotting (or even bleeding) can be normal. I know it’s impossible not to stress! Fx all is ok.
@offtoneverland FX everything is ok & your body is just adjusting to being pregnant!
Beta/RE appt update **TW
So I misheard my RE when I said she thought it was a CP. What she actually said was BIOchemical pregnancy. My numbers only went up to 422 today, and at over 5 weeks, I should be in the 1000's by now. She just doesn't want to get my hopes up, because often numbers like mine do end in miscarriage. So now pretty much all I can do is wait. I'm going in for an u/s next Wed to see if she can see anything, but it feels pointless. I know there is a small chance that I'm just off to a slow start, and my numbers will shoot up, but who knows. I guess I'll still be hanging out in June until I get some definitive answers next week
@Hollyyyyy I'm so sorry to hear that. FX your numbers shoot up. I know its not exactly where they want them to be but they're moving in the right direction.

@Hollyyyyy That really sucks that you are in limbo until next week. But the good thing is your numbers are rising and it's still within the range. Hang in there and creepy internet hugs.
@Hollyyyyy I'm sorry to hear your update and that you have to wait until next week to get any definitive answers. That's so incredibly stressful. FX for you that you can get some good results next week.
@Hollyyyyy I am so sorry the bw was not definitive. I know so much what it is like to be in beta hell, it is a terrible purgatory. I am taking the rising numbers to be a good sign and I'm hoping so hard for you that this is a sticky little bean.
@Hollyyyyy *former TTGPer lurking from Feb18* I'm so sorry to hear that you're stuck in limbo until next week, that's such a mindfuck. Remember the mantra "Today I am pregnant" and try to stay positive. *hugs*

@krashke@ChloandCoco@offtoneverland@zamora_spin@eggplantface Thanks so much for the support. It does suck, a lot, but if I'm being honest, I have to say I'd much rather this be happening now, rather than further down the road. This may be flammable, but if this is not a viable pregnancy, I'd rather my body not let it progress any further. At the end of the day, after dealing with IF, I feel lucky that I was able to get pregnant, and it gives me hope for the future. Like @eggplantface said, today I am pregnant! It ain't over 'til it's over.
@offtoneverland fingers crossed so hard its just the little bub getting super cozy in there
@hollyyyyy I'm so sorry to hear that. keeping everything crossed for great results next week. I completely understand how sucky limbo is, I've been stuck there for almost 2 weeks myself now. ::hugs::

@catlady1215 Thank you, and I am so sorry you find yourself in the same situation. Forgive me if you've mentioned it and I missed it somewhere, but do you have any appointments coming up?
@catlady1215@Hollyyyyy I'll be joining you in limbo as I wait for the results from my beta test. I called the doctor and got one this afternoon so we'll see. *TW maybe* The bleeding is getting heavier so I'm kind of unsure now. I took another FRER and the line is darker than it was 2 days ago, but I don't think this heavy of bleeding is normal. *end TW* @eggplantface I love your mantra and will be repeating that to myself these next few days!
Oh no @offtoneverland I am so sorry, I hope everything is ok, and you get good news from your doctor. Will you be getting your results today? I'll be keeping you in my thoughts *hugs*
@offtoneverland I’m glad you were able to get in for a draw and I’m so sorry to hear you are bleeding. I know that is so scary. I am hoping the best for you. @catlady1215 I am hoping for good things at your appt tomorrow.
@offtoneverland so glad you were able to get the bloodwork today. Fx they look ok.
@hollyyyyy oh no worries. Yah, we have an ultrasound tomorrow at 11. I'm straight up expecting the bad news. I'll fall off the table if it's ok. literally, fall.
