Too Early?

It just occurred to me that my beta HCG was drawn 6dpo. 
Isn't that too early to get a positive blood test?

I know...much rambling...please bear with me!

  1. I would say yes since implantation usually happens 6~12 days. I am still at total loss for positive tests though.

  2. sooo weird. the earliest i have ever heard of a positive hpt is 9dpo, and some not until 12, so I am holding out hope for you!

  3. It's WAY too early unless your ovulation dates are off. If you are testing put a trigger I would say test away at 6dpo, otherwise stay away from the pee sticks until at least 9dpo. It would probably avoid such confusion in the future. I know it's addicting though...

  5. What Toni said. Implantation occurs at around day 6, and it takes up to 2 days for the embryo to make enough HCG to show up. That is on a blood test. BUT you had two positive pregnancy tests...so maybe they picked up on ovulation? There is a web site that may have an explanation, I think it's called peeonastick dot com?

    1. I was pretty sure that HPT only pick up HCG and not progesterone. In all my IVF cycles I never saw a positive test and I was on lots of extra progesterone.

All That Matters

"Loss alters life.  And life carries on, with all the agony that suggests."

Saturday night we lost someone very near and dear to our family to cancer. This man had a profound impact on my life and was like a second father to me. My parents had been friends with him and his family for over forty years. Many of my fondest childhood memories included him. Some of the best stories centered around him and his enduring playful sense of humor. In short...he was incredible.

It has been a few years since I had seen him. Life, as always, has been a bit hectic since welcoming Lochlan.  I wish with every fiber of my being that I had made the effort to see him more. "Could have" and “should have” are immediate alternates when finding words to write about such dark moments. One learns a few more things about oneself, and it occurred to me while thinking about Winston and reflecting on another year without my Poppy. I think I’ve learned some lessons from their loss.  Further, that …

Forty Seven

Today is my parents 47th wedding anniversary. That’s right. For forty seven years they have been roommates, confidants, companions, shopping buddies, travel partners, support-systems, and teammates. In short, they are the best kind of best friends.

They raised five children, watched eight grandchildren grow from infants to self-sufficient young adults and one awesome little toddler, and they love to visit with and hear stories about their grandchildren. They are the centerpiece of every family gathering. All of the joy and generosity they put into loving all of us has multiplied exponentially, trickling down to our youngest family member, who often says:

“We FaceTime Nanny and Poppy now!”

As a unit, they have an awesome power. I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t smile at the sound of their names or who doesn’t think they are just the greatest. They are a fixture of most of my happiest memories, and they are often the source of some of the funniest stories I have to tell. They are aff…
