Hello! I have been lurking for a few days, so I figured I'd introduce myself. Me: 36, DH: 37. TTC#1 for about a year. Finally got a BFP last week. I am around five weeks and had blood work done today: hCG - 5516, progesterone - 18.5. The nurse said these numbers are good, so I guess it's starting to sink in a little bit. I go for first u/s on the tenth, and until then, I think I'll just continue to be a nervous wreck! I look forward to "meeting" everyone!
ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11.
2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do
"shared" program.
Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months.
Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have o many questions, and I am sure I will learn a lot from this board.
Pookster1020, I'm not really sure yet of my due date. If I go by my date of ovulation (based on BBT and OPKs using the FF app), then I should be due on June 2. But both the OB's and the RE's office calculated using the first day of last AF when I called on the phone, which would make me due May 28. I assume when I go in for my first appointment and u/s, I will get a definite answer.
It seemed to make sense for me - I am due by the OB at 12 January, 2015, but both the scans I've had and this due date calculator put me more like the 6th Of January - so far the baby is growing at a rate more consistent with at minimum a week ahead than I am meant to be, so I guess time will only truly tell - but have a go, its a bit of fun if nothing else.
Good luck on your upcoming appointment - how exciting for you!! Congrats.
