October TWW/Beta Testers

Elyse1384

Hi ladies.  Thought I would pilfer from @wifeinraleigh28 and get this thread going.  I'll create a Google doc later for anyone interested, but let's see if we can get a little group going comprised of those taking a beta or in the TWW this October.  Best of luck to all! 

Hi ladies - I hope I captured everyone correctly.  Here is the tracker.

Edit to add tracker link

AFM - I have my FET 9/26 which has me testing 10/5-10/7.  After the transfer my clinic will give an exact date, but at least for now that is what the nurse is telling me.

@Elyse1384 Exciting!! That's a reallllyyy good date! (My wedding anniversary )

rmarble23

I have a tentative date for FET of 10/6 so I will be waiting with the rest of you

Hi all!

I have my second IUI Sept 28th, so I'm supposed to POAS Oct 12th (but i'll probably test before then)

Monica54321

Beta for my 1st IVF cycle is scheduled for 10/10

Elyse1384

Good luck to all testing in Oct.  I'll start a shared Google doc tonight for all of us and others who start to join as Sep winds down.

Hi Oct testers!  I created a google doc for our group.  I think I captured everyone thus far, but feel free to edit or remove yourself if you prefer to not have your info captured.

Happy fall, y'all!

I hope to be testing in the third week of October after an IUI that I anticipate for October 5 or 6. This will be our third and last IUI. If it doesn't take, then DH and I will have to discuss what our next steps are, so no pressure!

Good luck, @Elyse1384! I hope everything goes well for you today.

my FET was 9/20 - BETA scheduled for 10/4

Anyone else testing early?

Elyse1384

@MelD17011 - I'm testing early for sure!  My beta is 10/6 (11dp5dt) and I plan on testing next Monday 10/3

I added myself to the tracker.

Hi girls!  I had the Ovidrel trigger 9/23, so I'm in the middle of my TWW.  I can start testing on 10/4, but my "sweet 16" as the nurses call it is on 10/11.  This is the longest two weeks of my life.....

I think I am going to go a different route testing this IUI. My first I did not test at all and was kicked in the gut when I got the BFN call. This IUI I plan on at least testing at home the day of the Beta so I can prepare myself either way!

Hi Ladies! I had a follicle scan last Friday that didn't show any growth on the 75iu dose of Gonal. Not surprising as I had only two doses in at that point. My estrogen came back low, so I was upped to 150iu. I went in yesterday and had two 10mm follicles, one on each ovary, and a third looking as though it might catch up. I go back tomorrow to check growth, and again on Friday. I'm thinking IUI will more than likely be next week, with beta the third week in October. 

I also have question I'm hoping someone will have the answer too! I'm going to take Cetrotide (more than likely) to prevent an early O. Then I will be given Lupron. My question is, does anyone know how long Lupron takes to work? I know with the hcg trigger, which I've taken before for my oral stim cycles, I usually ovulated 12ish/24ish hours later, with IUI 12/24 hours post trigger. Will this work along the same lines with Lupron? I'm also wondering if Lupron turns hpt positive the way the hcg trigger does?

Hi everyone!  Today is CD 1 so I have my scan scheduled for Friday, October 7th (CD 11)!  We are traveling out of town for a long weekend and I'm hoping we will be able to schedule the IUI for CD 15.  All of my IUIs have been on CD 14 in the past, so I am keeping very high hopes that we will still be able to proceed with an IUI this cycle!  

MelD17011

@Elyse1384 _ I have to admit, I already tested. My last was ectopic so I won't feel ok until I get thru several betas
LuluMurph the waiting in the worst!
madasm0530 I don't know how you waited.... I don't want to be caught off guard
mrsdaddario no advice - but good luck on your appts this week

Elyse1384

Hi all - I updated the tracker and sorted by test date.  @MelD17011  congrats on the + HPT!  Hopefully you have a nice strong beta.  

MelD17011

How's everyone doing and keeping busy? My first beta is tomorrow. I'm definitely anxious to get thru the next few tests.

Elyse1384

@MelD17011 I hope you get a nice strong beta tomorrow!  What a great way to start the month that would be!

I go back to work tomorrow after a glorious month off.  It just hit me this AM how little for the household I actually accomplished (not even sorry though haha). 

I cheated and and took a HPT and got what I think was just a VERY faint, sad little evap or indent line - so basically a BFN.  Ah well!  Can't let this ruin the day and time to start enjoying my last day off!  

I hope everyone else is doing well!

Hey ladies! I have my FET *tomorrow* which will put Beta for me at...10/13 I think! Would love to join and see everyone's BFPs

Monica54321

@MelD17011 - Congrats on your + HPT! When is your 1st beta?

@Elyse1384 - Sorry to hear about the - HPT. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you're just a late bloomer and will still get a BFP later this week with your Beta.  Are you going to keep testingrowing?

@omarismyhomeboy - Welcome! Hope your FET goes well tomorrow. Your profile picture is still my favorite of any I've seen on The Bump. Omar totally is my homeboy!

AFM - I'm 3dp5dt. Beta is a week from today
 Going to hold out and avoid POAS for as long as possible, but will probably test Sunday so I'm mentally prepared to start a new work week.

Elyse1384

@Monica54321 I wasn't planning on testing again, but decided to on a whim since I was disappointed at my accidental purchase of a blue dye test.  I always have bad experiences with those and bought pink dye FRER this afternoon.  

*TW*
This afternoon I got a nice BFP on the FRER.  Hopefully this baby keeps growing and I get a good beta on Thursday!  I always worry about CPs

Monica54321
