as it says up there.. am i going nucking futs ? or am i just clutching at straws now..
Since getting home from the hospital tonight i have been stairing at google, and about a million diff posts, pages and forums trying to get answers to whats going on with me and ema....
i seem to have found the following info:
last AF was feb 7th, ema is reg as clockwork so next should be march 7th!
ovulation is between 10-14 days after AF so that makes it some time between feb 16th and 22nd although im pretty sure it was on the wed 17th as we "fell out" that night...
now implantation can take betwen 7 to 10 days so ( longers date poss ) that makes it 27th of feb... ( but could be as late as 4th march )
The HCG hormone starts to be released into the woman's blood stream soon after the baby implants into the lining of her uterus (about 8 to 12 days after conception). The HCG blood level will initially start off very low (at least 5 IU/L), but then rapidly increase (doubling every 2 to 3 days), so that within a few days to a week or so, the HCG level becomes high enough to be detected in the woman's urine (at least 50 to 80 IU/L). Once this level is achieved, a urine pregnancy test will show as being 'positive'.
so with all that up there im totally confused
WHY are we getting neg HPT's? is it that the HCG just aint high enough?
Should ema demand a blood test so that one way or another we know whats going on!
im at me wits end with this.... Its hard enough knowing that my chances of fathering a child without IVF are beyond slim but seeing what its doing to ema is killing me.
