Feeling not much of anything today but a headache...no twinges still a little pressure on the left (no tube there) hoping thing go to the right had 22mm follie and a good tube on that side will have progesterone checked on May 4th

Looks like you got a positive test! Congratulations! Anything over 5 is considered pregnant.Now, you just need to wait for your second beta to make sure your numbers double. Also, what kind of progesterone supplement are you on? 13.1 is a little low (not critically low, but they like to see it a little higher). If you're on vaginal progesterone it might not matter, since the progesterone then would be delivered directly to the uterus without going through your whole blood stream first...but it wouldn't hurt to ask about increasing your dose anyway. As for symptoms, I didn't really have many either, other than the implantation cramps and feeling tired. Actually it was more like feeling like I had no energy, not the typical fatigue that everyone talks about. Best of luck with everything!

I'm so sorry to hear that your test was negative. Hopefully you'll be able to do another round so you can get that well-deserved BFP!
