Transfer went well! The nurse said it was a perfect transfer and that she hasn't been able to say that today (before me). They transferred one extended blast with the highest grade (their words), froze one blast today, and are culturing the remaining 5 until tomorrow, with the hopes of freezing all 5.
They gave me a pic of the embaby in my ute. It's so cute!
I'm finally triggering tonight! Thank god, I was about to strangle someone. So, ER is Friday morning. Dr only measured 4 good sized follicles today (19-20) so I'm hoping for quality over quantity. I feel like my numbers have been dwindling with each cycle. I just hope I get something to freeze.
Me - 32 H - 32
Married July 2009
TTC#1 since Feb 2013
RE consult Oct 2013 due to short cycles/light periods
Beta was 300 today! OMG, I am freaking out. I've only been pregnant one other time (and they didn't tell me the beta number) and it was a heart wrenching 11 week loss a little over 2 years ago. So, I am still really hesitant to do any celebrating until at least end of 1st tri.
But, I really want to know what this beta number means. Can anyone help give me some perspective? I am going back to for a 2nd beta this Friday.
Well, the RE just called and said my beta (at 11dp5dt) is 153. I know that's good and all, but I'm just worried since with my last pregnancy (that ended in MC), my betas at the same time point (11dp5dt is equivalent to 16dpo) were around 300... I know I shouldn't compare, and I have another beta and Friday so I should just hope for a good doubling time, but I just can't help worry.

Wow! I am really feeling the love from everyone! Thank you for all the hugs, it made me tear with happiness to know that I am not alone in this. DH is finally home and we went to see RE this morning. Good news is that my beta went from 6640 the morning of the miss carriage to 740 this morning which means I most likely passed the embryo and won't need a D&C. We spoke to RE about why this keeps happening and he said that it is most likely genetic abnormalities. I have gone from "not ever wanting to do this again" on monday morning to "what now" this morning. DH and RE won't let me give up yet. Soooo on to Genetic screening for a cycle scheduled for Nov. with a FET (if we get a normal one) scheduled for Jan. After the holiday madness. I love my family, but they drive me nuts. I guess there really is no getting off this crazy train.

Me: 33
DH: 39
TTC: 4 years.
Me: PCOS. Polyps.
DH: Low morphology and motility.
TTC naturally - 1yr.
4 IUI with metformin - All BFN.
Changed ER.
IVF # 1 - 6 blasts made it to freeze. Transferred 1 fresh blast. Low first beta, but rose appropriately. Bean made it and we heard Heartbeat!! Sadly Bean couldn't hold on. Heartbroken. M/C.
FET # 2 - 2 beautiful blasts transferred. 1st beta - 74. #'s rose appropriately. Ultrasound found Sac and fetal pole! Sadly bean couldn't hang on. M/C. Devastated.
One frosty left.
IVF#2 - ER Scheduled for November. We will be doing PGD. Transfer most likely JAN 2015.
I will finally be off BCP on the 10/8, so I think I'm going to be in the October group can't wait. I've been lurking each week at the BFPs and so excited for you ladies!
Sorry that I have been MIA for a couple days. I had a few things to figure out and then some busy days at work.
I am so happy for all of the BFPs in our group. Good luck to all of our PUPOs!! You guys give me all the hope that I need to know that my journey isn't over yet.
I have scheduled for a WTF appointment on Oct 22nd (sooner if they get a cancellation) and I am working on getting a second opinion. I hate the waiting game and I starting to concerned that my current RE is too big/busy to give me the attention that I feel like I deserve.
I am 37 and DH is 40
10/2012 Start TTC
09/2013 Finally got to see the RE12/2013 HSG-both tubes clear
01/2014 Large Cyst Removed along with right ovary and tube
04/2014 2nd HSG-Remaining tube damaged/blocked
05/2014 Testing cycle and BCP to prep for IVF
06/2014 IVF cycle #1 is scheduled cancelled due to low estrogen
07/2014 Started Estrace to help with my estrogen issues
I got the call! 3 little guys were high quality embryos that they performed the biopsies on! So now we wait for the PGD results, and pray that at least 1 embie is healthy! So if you've got any thoughts and prayers to spare, please throw us in there! I don't care if it's a boy or girl, all I want is a healthy baby that we can take home!
@Bluejoan I'm not sure why they are having you wait 4 days for a retest but I can only guess that because it was on the lower side waiting 4 days will determine if there is a good rise in the number. I have everything crossed for you!! Unless they only do Beta's on the weekdays then it would be monday right? Maybe that is the reason?

@CRMhoney, I am so sorry. I understand that feeling of going from incredibly hopeful to being completely spent.
I'm in beta hell (again) and all of my symptoms are gone. My level wasn't horrific - 76 at 15dpo, but it was my lowest beta of any pregnancy so we will know more when I do a second beta on Monday. I'm officially freaked.
