positive!!! need advice

[hopecase]

I have been ttc for 4 years! I did a number of IUI's, Clomid cycles, and finally 3 failed IVF's. About 5 months ago i went to a internal medicine doctor who specializes in blood. She ran ALOT of tests. She found I was deficient in Vitamin D, folates and b-12. My progesterone levels were also low. She gave me a B12 shot, recommended i take vitamin D everyday, folic acid, actifolate, and methyl B12(methylcobalamine). She also recommended acupuncture which i have been doing once a week since. I missed my period this month. I am 5 or 6 days late. Took a test yesterday that had a VERY faint 2nd line. Took a plus sign one this morning that had another VERY VERY faint 2nd line. Couldn't take it anymore so I took a Clearblue digital one and it said pregnant!!! Can it be true?! Any experiences anyone can share? What do I do now. I called EVERY doctor i have ever been to and no offices are opened today (saturday). Left a message at my fertility clinics office because i know they are always open but no call back yet. I know i need to relax but I can't. FOUR years!!! help!

I am praying our numbers stay healthy and strong. I just got my blood work from yesterday back and my progesterone was low 14.2 so they are having me start suppositories tonight. I'm so upset and nervous. She said my HCG level was 286 and that i was 5weeks and 1 day pregnant according to my last period start date. I don't know if this is too low or what?! Now i am really freaking out. Did anyone have #'s like this and then go on to have healthy pregnancies or do those #'s indicate that this pregnancy is doomed?

Congratulations!  It took my DH and I over 3 years to conceive and we got pregnant after 6 rounds of Clomid (none worked) and a round of Femara with IUI (no injectibles).  I was just like you, so nervous and excited and in disbelief!  And guess what?  You and I are the same length in regard to how far along we are!  I agree, the blood work they do in the first couple weeks is totally nothing to get excited about and the wait to get our first u/s done (4/28) is taking forever!  All you and I can do now is be thrilled we got pregnant and pray that our numbers continue to stay healthy and strong.  Take care and congratulations again!  -- Kimberleigh

Dont worry abut nothing showing up in the us. it is too early!!! U should be at least 6 weeks before they do one. Ur levels are the most importatn thing right now. just try to relax and let that baby attach well. Best of luck to u.

I went to the doctor. It was very uneventful. They took blood and urine and did a pap and she tried to give me the internal sonogram but nothing showed up, not even a sac. She said that is really was too soon and not to worry but of course i am worrying. From her calculations i would be 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant. They will call me back tomorrow or Thursday they said to let me know. Then the doctor said i could come back for blood just to make sure levels are going up as they should. She won't give me another sonogram for at least 2 weeks she said. That is something i am really looking forward to. I hope this baby sticks!

I know! I thought I'd have some cool way of telling him too but just ran in from the bathroom with it in my hand. We were both so quiet for a little while cause we couldn't even believe it after all this! Good luck with your appointment! I will say a prayer for you. I will be calling my doctor's office THE minute it opens tomorrow. My alarm is already set. Haha. Thanks for the support. I'm trying my best to stay positive and take it easy. I LOVE seeing that word, pregnant, on the digital test!!! Yay!

I totally agree - such a wonderful shock!  I had always planned a special way I'd tell my husband we were pregnant.  I was so excited that I called him the second it turned to "pregnant" crying.  Nothing works out the way we planned it.  

Here's hoping that your Sunday goes fast!  We've got our 8 week appointment on Tuesday and it seems so very long from now.  Hoping and praying things go well.  I just take it week by week.

Thank you so much! I am actually really starting to believe this. I felt nauseous and really tired today. I hope its not all in my head. Haha. It was such a shock this morning to my husband and I! You made me feel better. I think I can make it until Monday...HOPEFULLY. Haha. I think i may go broke buying pregnancy tests between then and now. I just get SO happy when i see that positive. =)

I swore I'd never test on a weekend after our second pregnancy!  From Saturday to Monday was so long!  

I have gotten my last two positive tests on the clear blue digital.  I say, yes - you're pregnant!  I guess all you can do it wait - and I know how hard that is.  Think positive - drink water, rest...and if it makes you feel better go get a first response and test in the morning.  There should be a nice line if you got a positive on the digital!  Congrats =)

Congratulations!  It took my DH and I 4 years to get pg too so I know exactly how you're feeling right now.  It's the best feeling in the world!  We were told two years ago we would never have kids without medical intervention.  We only tried 1 IUI and it failed.  So then we just let nature take it's course.  This past January (after 4 years) we just gave up trying completely and in March I got a BFP!

We still can't believe it's real but once you see your little one on the u/s it becomes so real.  It's truly amazing.  Both of us cried!

My best advice is to relax.  I found out on a Saturday and it just about killed me to wait until Monday morning to call my doctor but I did it as soon as they opened the office.  Enjoy this euphoric feeling you're going through.  It's an amazing time and I am really happy for you.  Congratulations again!
