Beta HCG : 70 U/L

Sample Collected : 15/9/11

Quantitative H.C.G  - 70 U/L
*Consistent with pregnancy*

Yay? Or not?

Roughly knowing the 'conception' date puts me about 22 days or roughly 3 weeks gestation on 15/09/11 and reference range for 2-3 weeks 100-1,000.

Oh boy, this is not looking good.

Again?

Again?
I'm not sure what's going on with me.
I've been getting faint lines on UPT since 31-Aug-2011, today is 19-September-2011!!!

Anyway, last Wednesday, I was at the hospital for my routine blood test. I hoped to get pass the nurse to see the doctor. As expected, nurse did an UPT and it was negative.... so, no see doctor.
I hate hospital UPT, the last I had, first reported negative, then faint positive even though my beta HCG was at 180 something... I HATE HOSPITAL UPT!

%Q###$^#$^^@^%%#

Other than feeling my boobs getting bigger (hehehe ...), not much of pregnancy symptoms.
Boobs still, it could be that they are bigger because I'm now much fatter.

Also, I noticed light spotting. Nothing needing a pad ... just 'spots'.

I really don't know la ...
After two short-lived joy previously, I am trying very hard not to be hopeful ...
I've done a beta HCG test at a private clinic last Thursday, supposedly getting my result today but doc hasn't called!!! $#%@#$%#^$%^$%$%@

The lines could also be coming from leftover HCG still floating in my system after my miscarriage....
BUT, I seriously remembered taking one or two UPT after 16/8 ultrasound (doc couldn't find anything then and it was deemed 'complete miscarriage') strips were stark white, only one line!

Or is it something else? Oooooooo Twilight zone...

So, I don't know la ...

Please stick 'lil bean ...

I went to the hospital yesterday to have my pregnancy confirmed by the Rheumy Doc.
I did a UPT (Urine Pregnancy Test) and after about 2 hrs, the lab reported it as "NEGATIVE"!!!

An hour later, I went to see the Nephro Doc and guess what, the same lab now reports as "faintly (+) positive".

Please stick little seed!

My HPT lines are getting darker in colour, so I really hope that my hCg is indeed rising... (see attached photo).

Also, I am feeling feverish lately and it is adding to my worry! I hope it is just a pregnancy symptom and not signs of my lupus flaring up!!!!

Cheapie UPT strips - RM 1 / each!!!

Yeah, there is a definitely cheaper way to POAS!

"Faint" Line

Sigh ...
It worries me every time I get a 'fainter' faint line.
I got one this morning. I tested with a 'cassette' type and it came out very slowly and 'faint'.
(Fainter than yesterday's PM urine).

Am I not producing enough hCg?
Should I go and see a doctor now or wait?

Above photo is yesterday's result - visible (dry).

And, the photo below is today's result - there's a line, just not so visible in photo.

This is a "no brand test", cost me RM 4.90, got it from the nearest neighbourhood pharmacy.
Most of the pregnancy tester here are of 'questionable' quality - no 'manufacturing' details, some doesn't even tell you exactly how long to wait - it just say, 'wait for a few minutes', no indication of sensitivity level - in four letter word 'C.R.A.P' - not cheap too, for 'C.R.A.P'.

Best to go for Wondfo OR Clearblue digital (with conception indicator).

I remember testing with Wondfo and the line came out in less than 1 minute and was so much darker than the rest of the 'stupid' tests I've taken, namely "Guardian Pregnancy Test".
The only place that I know sells Wondfo brand is Jusco Wellness Pharmacy in Sunway Pyramid and it cost RM 6.00.

So, as you can see, this is not a "CHEAP" hobby ... peeing on a stick or better known as POAS.

Today - I am soooooo happy!

Oh god, please, please let this bean stick and a happy & healthy 9 months!!!!

Do You See What I see ..... ?

Lines ..........

After what had 'happened' last month, I am so worried.

I dare not take the digital.

I am afraid, I am very afraid.

Mission Pee Test

The plan was to wait till Sunday but I did my Pee Test today!!

#$!#%^%$&&&&$

Guardian Pregnancy Test ... 

Faint Line appears after the 10 minutes mark.

First, it appears shadowy near 10 minutes, then it gets more visible.

What the heck????

Three separate tests, two days apart!!!

I haven't used the Clearblue Digital yet ...

I will, I will restrain myself till Sunday!!!!

Clearblue Digital (Blue Cap) with Conception Indicator

Talah .... another HPT - RM 29.90.

Nope, I've not used it yet.

Will wait till Sunday.

Waiting ... and Wanting to Know is torturous.

I tested again!!!

I know I shouldn't but I well, itching to know, tried another Guardian Pregnancy Test.
Same thing occurs.
A little shadowy within the 5-10 minutes frame and it then gets darker after 10.

Possibly manufacturing defect?

Sigh... like they say, waiting and wanting to know is a torture!
(Plus, it cost me another RM 9.90!)

I feel nauseous but didn't mention it to His Royal Highness, I'm sure he'll say it is all in my "mighty mind".
Maybe it is?
Breast still feels the same ...

Is this all in my mind????

Cellcept and pregnancy is a big NO-NO.
We have always been cautious, still, one 'hot' night, it just happened.
I totally OFF my Cellcept the next dose. Worried I am, it felt like, "This is IT".

Yesterday is Day 1 after my missed period. Being anxious, I bought a local-pharmacy-store, Guardian pregnancy tester - RM 9.90 - I peed on it in the afternoon, nothing show at first but as I was about to dump it, I saw like a faint line, I thought my eyes were playing trick on ME! True enough 5-10 minutes later, a very faint thin line appeared!

Positive for Preggy?
or
Positive for Evaporation Line?

Tried another two testers, different brands, one 'Dip N Tell' and 'Clearblue Compact' - both negatives, or like they in the TTC (Trying to Conceive) group label as BFN (Big Fat Negative!) ..

AF (Aunt Flow, i.e. period) is not here as of today.

Probably it is all "in-mind" but I do feel nauseous, gassy and my face, scalp is so oily!
Breasts are okay though! Hehehehe!

P:S: Just for info, I've taken MSM for almost 3 months and my nails, hair (on my head!) continues to grow! :) Knees are okay to move up the stairs but not run!!
