Trying for #1 - Hi and 
. I remember answering your post in The One Thread about hCG. I'm so glad you're here with us March Mamas. 
Are you doing any further monitoring or tests? How do those results look so far?
Raversangel - I sort of know you from the TTC after loss thread.
Congrats on your short stay over there! What a rollercoaster ride these last couple months have been for you. If you are still dealing with the yeast, I recently used a homeopathic deal for yeast infections called Yeast-Away by Boiron (?). It worked for me but was way more messy than your average suppository so be prepared! The 7-day kit was ~$15 at my LHFS. And sorry that you feel crappy but yay for your new symptoms! 
ASusan - Here's that thread for you with extended charting by pregnant peeps. How are you doing tonight?
Cvillemama - Sorry for your loss. Mine were early too - 7wks and 5wks. Amen on ignorance being bliss. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that innocence of knowing that everything would be perfect with my baby. But OTOH, I think what I have been though and learned has helped make me a more understanding person when it comes to loss and trouble TTC. It is amazing how once you are introduced into the world of pregnancy loss, that you find so many women going through the same thing. I had no idea before I went through it myself.
Leilalu - Welcome! You can be our official voice of reason. How's that sound? When's your appt and are you thinking about running tests? I had some done this last cycle and certain ones are best done on certain CDs (days, not diapers
). I am by no means an expert, but I'm happy to share my knowledge with you if you'd like. PM me.
Celesterra - Thanks for the compliment!
How many DPO were you when your hCG was drawn? If you are feeling nervous about it, what about waiting for the 2nd draw until 48 hours has passed? It does mean another day of that awful waiting and wondering but I've heard that 48 hours is the max acceptable time for doubling. That way you don't have to stress if your 24 hour draw comes back a little low or go in for a 3rd draw. I did the 48 instead of the 24 for the first time this cycle and it turned out really good for me because by doubling rate was 150% at 48 hours. Totally acceptable timeframe and rate but I think it would have scared me if I got the 24 hour draw back as 75%. Just an idea.
Lotusdebi - How are you doing today?
As for me, I am 5 weeks today. I feel like I've been pregnant for longer than that though! I suppose I have some symptoms - so tired, emotional, a little crampy, boobs hurt, and nausea. Hey that looks like a pretty good list once I type it out.
But I still sort of wish that there were more obvious signs. Perhaps a flashing neon sign that said 'pregnant!' on my lower abdomen? 
Here's to hoping that we're all kicking ourselves in a couple weeks for asking for more symptoms! 
And for everyone - Here's a little item for us to consider. I am thinking of changing the title of this thread. I feel a little bad about having this reminder of what could go wrong floating around on our DDC page. I just don't want to scare anyone who doesn't need to be scared. I hope that makes sense and doesn't sound bad - sometimes I can't quite get my thoughts into the right words. Anyway, I have two ideas. First is 'The PALS Thread'. (PALS standing for pregnancy after loss support). That one definitely has the air of secret societies and decoder rings.
The second idea is 'TP Checkers Anonymous' which totally cracks me up even though we're not very anonymous. 
So please cast your vote and feel free to nominate other ideas!
