Beta Testing JUNE 1-15th :)

Tusername

Hey guys! Who else has a beta (or POAS) coming up in the first part of June? I have an FET coming up and beta will follow soon after and I couldn't wait to hear who else will have some results rolling in and didn't see a thread yet.
Here's to some good luck and baby dust to us all!

Hey girl hey! I should be in this group... unless they switch me to a FET. Praying that doesn't happen and we can be beta buddies!

My ER should be Wed or Thurs, and if all goes to according to schedule, ET should be 5 days afterward. So that should put my beta around June 13th or 14th (assuming my clinic waits 14 days to test).  I may POAS earlier though. What about you @Tusername ?

Tusername

@babylonghorn16Your ER is coming up so soon! I know you're feeling ready to get those follies out! I was super uncomfortable in the days leading up. I'm excited for you and hope you do get to do a FT!!! FX! 
-I am currently on my second week of Minivelle patches (estradiol) and am waiting for my ovaries to become a little less stimulated. They were still a little bigger than normal at my last check up. Next u/s is on Thursday & FET will likely be June 1/2ish. So, beta will be the same as yours likely! Yay!

Hi ladies! I should be having my 6th and final IUI this week. I have a follie check tomorrow and I'm usually ready for trigger that night with my IUI a day or two after. That should put me testing at about June 9th or 10th. If this one is unsuccessful we'll be moving to IVF.... But hopefully we won't need to do that  

Fx for all of us!

Tusername

@NurseTMD85 Welcome! I hope this IUI gives you some good news!! Will you be POAS or beta?

jenn6782

Hello ladies!  My FET is scheduled for this Thursday 5/26 and my first beta is scheduled for 6/6 (a day before my birthday eeeekkk talk about a make or break good birthday!).  I'm nervous as all heck!

Tusername

Welcome @jenn6782! Your FET & Beta are coming up so soon! How exciting!!!

I followed other members idea of making a spreadsheet for us to keep track of each others upcoming testing and results! Follow this link to update your info

@Tusername My RE makes me do a beta even if a hpt is negative. 

jenn6782

@Tusername Thank you!  Yes, it's coming up and I'm definitely super excited and nervous!  I know that I'm supposed to think positive, but I can't help but consider the what ifs.  Also, thank you for making the spreadsheet!  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's BFPs!!!

babylonghorn16

@Tusername thanks for the spreadsheet! So much easier to keep track.

ER should be Thursday or Friday. A little bummed it won't be sooner, but luckily I'll be working from home from tomorrow onward. Feeling pretty uncomfortable today in my work clothes. SWEATPAAAANTS for the rest of the week woo woo!

Nurse said we won't know whether I'm on track for fresh until my trigger day (hopefully tomorrow), so I'm pretty frustrated with that news as well. Just want to know wtf is going on... hate the unknown. Looking forward to that TWW lol.

Welcome and GL @NurseTMD85 and @jenn6782!! Looking forward to a bunch of BFPs on this board!

jenn6782

Just curious, any of you ladies planning on POAS before getting your beta?  I'm debating on if I should or not.

We just had our second IUI this morning. It's a Holiday here in Canada so it was so strange to see an empty waiting room and for the procedure to be on time! My beta is scheduled for June 6th. My luteal phase is only 11 days usually, so I may POAS the Saturday or Sunday before, since I don't get AF while on the Progesterone suppositories.

jenn6782

@hispenguin my first beta is on 6/6 too!  I'm contemplating on if I should POAS on the morning of my beta so I can brace myself for whatever news it may be since I'll be at work when the results come back later that day.

hispenguin

@jenn6782 If I have my beta on a work day I usually test that morning. I like to be emotionally prepared for a BFN!

jenn6782

@hispenguin I hear you girl; I'm leaning towards doing that.  That way if it's a BFN I'm emotionally prepared, and if I happen to get a false negative from POAS then I'll be happily surprised when my beta results come in.

Hi all- I am most likely having my third IUI either this weekend or on Memorial Day. I have monitoring on Thursday so we shall see how it all pans out this cycle. My beta is usually scheduled 14dpiui so I will be at the tail end of this testing period. 

NurseTMD85

@jenn6782 I have done both and let me tell you.... Getting that call that it was a BFN was so much more devastating when I wasn't prepared. Some ladies find it stressful to test at home. Everyone is different. Good luck with whatever you decide!

roxgibbons

@NurseTMD85 @jenn6782 on my last IUI I tested morning of my beta and it was a BFN. I still went in for the beta and it helped me brace myself for the bad news. I think I may do the same this round as getting bad news at work is the absolute worst.

Here's our updated chart with new peeps!

jenn6782

@NurseTMD85 @roxgibbons thank you for your advice. I think I will POAS the morning of beta.  You girls are right I rather brace myself in case it's a negative outcome.  Hopefully it'll be a BFP and then I can celebrate twice in one day!  

Good luck girls! Let's all get our BFP!!

NurseTMD85

I had my Day 12 follie check and I have 3-4 that are almost ready. I have to go back tomorrow for another check. Unless my blood work shows that I'm surging, I won't be going for my IUI until 5/26 or 5/27. So, my testing date won't be until 6/10 or 6/13.

babylonghorn16

GL @NurseTMD85!! 

Welp, just had my LAST monitoring appointment!! ER is officially scheduled for Thursday! So excited! Nurse did mention that I most likely will have to freeze all since my estrogen is very high and ovaries are HUGE (actually touching each other... ek!). So fresh transfer might be out of the picture for me. I'll still lurk around this board in case I'm able to transfer next week.

FX for all of youu!!

Hi Girls! I'm joining in here, I had my egg retrevial today! FET was planned for August, but my follies were not responding to meds as planned so now we are doing a fresh transfer on Sunday! Ah! This is our first cycle of IVF. 7 eggs were retrevied and they had only planned on 3. Anxiously awaiting the call tomorrow so see where things are at. 

My beta will be 6/6. But, our anniversary is 6/5, so I'm going to see if I can test earlier. Not sure if that's a good or bad decision...ha. I'm very hesitant to POAS because the last ovadrel shot from our IUI was still showing up in my system 13 days later, which is very rare. Another false positive will kill me. 

Baby dust to all!!

stef7384

Had my FET today, and will be getting result on 6/7! So nervous! Good luck everyone!

Tusername

@babylonghorn16 I’m sorry to hear that it’s looking like an FET. I was super disappointed to hear that was the case for me too, but honestly I still wasn’t feeling very well by day 5 anyways. The decision was a good one in my case for sure. 

@with.love.ivf Hi! I hope your ER went well and you’re getting some rest! Sunday will be here so quickly. 

@stef7384 That’s great! Good luck, FX!!

NurseTMD85

Welcome ladies! Good luck with your transfer @ babylonghorn16 I hope we all have a fast tww!!!

I had another follie check this morning. Lining was 10mm and I have 3 follies that are good to go (22mm, 19mm, 17mm - one on the left and two on the right). I trigger tonight for IUI 5/27/16, unless my LH is surging and then I go tomorrow. Testing date will be 6/13/16. I hope the stars have aligned this time. This whole process is exhausting! If this one is a fail - IVF is next.

jenn6782

@stef7384 Good luck! FX on a sticky embaby!

@nursetmd85 Good luck with your IUI!!

@with.love.ivf  Good luck on your fresh transfer!!!

AFM, I'm getting more and more anxious/nervous/excited.  Soooo many emotions rolled into one.  I'm looking at my countdown clock app on my phone and I'm 1 day, 2 hours, 22 minutes from my transfer!!! 

babylonghorn16

Thanks @NurseTMD85 - first gotta do egg retrieval which is tomorrow morn! Nervous, but excited to get these things out of me lol. And wow - 3 great follies!! I don't think I ever had that good of a response for my IUIs... FX for you!!

@jenn6782 sooo close!!!! GL tomorrow!

NurseTMD85

@babylonghorn16 Oops! I see now that you have to do a frozen! Good luck with the retrieval!

babylonghorn16

@NurseTMD85 no worries!! Most likely frozen, but still in the running for a fresh as of now! Still holding on hope and lingering on this board lol! Thank you!! I'll update y'all tomorrow!

GL for all the upcoming transfers and IUIs! Y'all are amazing!

Hey Ladies. I'm jumping in here the next few weeks. My FET with 1 embryo was last Wed the 18th. This TWW is killing me. I don't have a BETA until the 31st. 
I'm one of those that HATE to POAS the stress is way to much but because of visiting family this weekend looks like I will be doing that on Saturday so we can make our announcement if all goes well. 

jenn6782

@thucks welcome, and good luck on the Beta!!!

with.love.ivf

I'm out this month already. First round of IVF is a failure before we even made it to transfer. 7 eggs collected 0 fertilized. I guess my eggs are crap from the PCOS. Back to square one. Good luck everyone! 

jenn6782

@with.love.ivf  I'm sorry to hear that... don't give up hope!  It'll happen!  Did you do ICSI for the fertilization or was it just regular IVF?

with.love.ivf

It was ICSI. 

babylonghorn16

I'm so sorry @with.love.ivf ! I can't imagine how you are feeling right now. Praying for you. Take care of yourself for now and I hope you can find some peace. Hoping your next steps lead you to success! *hugs*

stef7384

@jenn6782  I keep thinking about POAS- but I'm worried I'll get a BFN and be devastated and then be falsely hoping my blood test will be positive just to be devastated again. Then again- of course DH is going out of town on my Beta day so I may POAS the night before. Either way will suck if it doesn't work out. If it's negative and I find out the night before then I'll just be sad when DH has to go out of town the next day... But then I also don't want to find out while he's already out of town. UUUUGH. So much stress! Lol. I wish you baby dust and sticky eggs! 

Rachnan

Hi all! Jumping in and hoping for lots of BFPs!!

FET is scheduled for 5/31 and beta for 6/11!  Are you ladies planning on waiting it out for beta or planning on POAS before?  I just don't know that I will be able to help myself haha

hispenguin

@with.love.ivf I am so sorry. I hope you take some time help your body and soul recover.

jenn6782

@Rachnan welcome!!! Good luck on your transfer and beta!!!
