At 1455 hrs Pacific Time Nurse M ( my favorite one) called me with the results. Before giving me the results she asked me what we were expecting. I said that I was thinking that perhaps another cyst with the symptoms I'm having.
Here are the results for 7 DPO:
Estridol (E2) was 124
Progesterone (P4) was 9.73
Though I'd like to see the E2 lower and the P4 higher it is only 7 DPO. Hopefully my unmedicated, totally natural cycle will fix itself. The E2 level means that there is possibly some cyst activity. The P4 level means that I ovulated accordingly. Wishing it were a solid 10 but like Nurse M said its only .27 off from it. I guess give it another day.
So the symptoms could be leaning either way. I told Nurse M that I realize we could schedule a beta HCG for next week Monday which will be 14 DPO but I'm scared because that will only be CD21. She wants to schedule the beta. She is always nurse hopeful.
Thursday I can start POAS. I'm holding back until then because I'll be 10 DPO by then and I might stand a better chance of seeing a faint line by that day. If I don't that is okay too because I realize it is early still.
Yes it could be early pregnancy symptoms. It could be PMS or another ovarian cyst. I'm not going to dwell on it and I'll get back to the hat I'm currently crocheting. I'm trying to see if I can make an adult variation of the baby hats I've made for my shop.
Off to the kitchen I go to make supper. Organic no hormones Turkey for the turkey meatloaf, Yukon gold potatoes mixed with the last of the potatoes I grew this year for mashed potatoes and french cut string beans. One of J's favorite meals. Last night I made red cabbage and bockwurst for him.
If some how I turn out to be pregnant naturally again, its been almost a year since that fete, I'm going to seriously have to figure out just how the heck my body allowed it again. Oh and definitely hope that this one will stick if there is one in there and I'll be praying that it will be healthy with my ancient eggs.
Sounds like a delicious dinner, enjoy. I don't know much about all of the numbers but I hope that it turns out that you are pregnant. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteIf I am then I really hope like heck that my aged eggs aren't going to cause fetal abnormalities...wouldn't wish that on any kid.
DeleteHoping for good news.
DeleteWell a lot of my symptoms have disappeared today. So I wonder if I'll even make it to a beta this time...I mean my eggs are old and I do have endo.
