TTC after 35

XP: Beta 2 is in ***BFP Warning***

I have been on pins and needles all day.  I just got the call... Beta 2 is in at 2,156.  I am in complete shock!

Our ultrasound is scheduled for Jun 3rd, so I need to muster up a LOT of patience to wait and see.  My best friend will be visiting next week - Tues - Fri so that will be a good distraction (she knows all about treatments, does not know we finally got our BFP since we want to at least hear the heartbeat and get some tests done - but of course she may figure it out when I am suddenly drinking decaf and no longer drinking any wine!)

And since our numbers were so high (and tripled from Tues) I asked if there was a possibility of twins.  We only transferred 1 embryo, and we did not BD, so I never would think we would have twins but with the numbers I was curious.  Our nurse said that sometimes the blasts do split but they won't know until the ultrasound (I told her twins don't run in either family but apparently that doesn't have an impact with IVF).  So we wait and see.

THANK YOU ladies for being so supportive and wonderful.  I am going to continue to lurk here and post (as appropriate) until our u/s.  I hope everyone of you gets your BFP very soon!!!

  • YAY!
    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

  • Thanks Ladies

    Samuelismomma - I triggered on the 2nd, so that means I would have ovulated on the 4th morning... which makes today... 19dpo, and 15dp5dt (if my math is correct).  Maybe that is why the numbers are so high...

  • Wonderful!!!  I hope all continues to progress just as beautifully!
  • holy moley!!!! keep us in the loop please!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
