QOTD:  Justone13 asked about fall... and I love winter.  So, what is your favorite part of winter?

Mrs.Ess

@ChristieH917‌ GL with your WTF. I hope if they don't give you what you need you find a better clinic for a second opinion.

Congrats to @BlueJoan‌ and @PurpleDaisy923‌!! GL to those with ER and ET and congrats to all PUPO.

Huge ((hugs)) to those that need them.

AFM-

*****BFP warning*************







I am 4dp5dt and got a BFP this morning on a wondfo. It's faint but there. I can't believe it. I tested yesterday knowing it was way too early and figured today would be too.b I posted about having no symptoms which goes to show you. Having been pregnant twice before this is nothing like either of those times which makes me nervous and hopeful at the same time.

I am refusing to let my nerves and fear of another mc take away my happiness. I plan to enjoy each day (and continue to pee on sticks regularly) until beta on Tuesday. Please keep your FX for me that this one (or two) sticks.

QOTD- my favorite thing about winter is when it ends

Tiffany0614

Mrs.EssBlueJoan on your BFP's!

AFM, I'm still waiting for my first beta on 10/8. My RE's office waits almost 2 weeks to test. I poas at 6dp5dt and got a BFN. I'm hoping it was just too early. I definitely don't "feel" pg but DH says that's crazy to say because why would I feel pg at this point. lol. He wants me to wait until day 9 or 10 to test again. So I'll probably poas again this weekend. I know 6dp is early but it seems like everyone else has tested positive around that time so it's tough to stay hopeful.

Kam10

@MrsEss & @BlueJoan Congrats!!! FX for great betas for both of you!

@Tiffany0614 it is still early. FX for you.

I'm 7dp5dt and am not going to believe anything until my beta on Monday 10/6.

QOTD: I live in MN, so the winters are brutal. My favorite part are sunny mornings after a wet snow when it sticks to the trees and everything sparkles. So peaceful and beautiful as long as you are inside bundled up.

Bandy514

Currently 6dp5dt of two beautiful blastocysts last Saturday. Beta is scheduled for 10/6. 

Feeling very crampy, almost like AF is about to start. 

Hoping that's not a bad sign and not sure if I'll be able to make it through the weekend without POAS. 

carrieharry79

I'm a lurker in this group.... I'm doing IVF #1 in November, but it's so reassuring to see so many BFPs! Congrats to all of you who are experiencing that right now and big hugs to those that have to try again. I know that with my level of anxiety, a BFN will really hit me hard if the time comes. My thoughts are with you.

AuroraP725

Congrats @mrs.ess!

@Kam10‌ and @Bandy514‌ Good luck with betas on Monday!

@Tiffany0614‌ Fx it's still too early. Don't lose hope.

I am home and resting after ER. They retrieved 4 eggs. I wait for my call tomorrow to hear how many were fertilized. I'm continuing to be optimistic because I can't handle another cycle that ends with zero embryos. 

Kam10

@AuroraP725 Glad ER went well. Rest up! FX for a great fert report tomorrow!

bears1011

congrats @bluejoan! fx crossed that monday will bring you a great second beta! great news @mrs.ess! @aurorap725 glad they got 4 eggs! hope they all fertilized! @tiffany0614 hopefully it's just too early!

QOTD - i hate winter!! the only good thing about winter is the end of it lol.

AFM..............beta bfp warning...........................

had my beta this morning and just got my call...it's 232! i have been poas since monday night and the lines have been getting slightly darker, so i am thrilled with this number! i had some spotting yesterday and this morning and am having some bad cramping this morning, so i'm a nervous wreck. i need to learn how to relax! i go back monday for my second beta. praying that this is the one for me!!

Justone13

@AruoraP725 I hope you get great news!!! FX for you!!

Hello Sweet Peas!! Still chugging along on these stupid BCP's. I start Lupron this upcoming week... yaaaa!! That means we are finally starting!!  

QOTD: Winter... ahhhh.. I love winter because of Christmas and New Years. After New years I just can't wait for winter to be over! lol. Snow is a love hate relationship for me. If I'm home and don't have to work then I love it. If I have to get to work then I hate it! 

jen102279

AH!!! Congrats @MrsEss, @BlueJoan, and @Bears1011!!

@Aurora725 FX for a good fert report! 

AFM I updates yesterday in the 9/30 post, but we had 3 blasts that were biopsied and frozen. Now we wait 7-10 days for the PGD results and for AF to show up to start my prep cycle for FET

QOTD: I'm in Wisconsin, so like @Kam10 winters are pretty rough. But I completely agree with the sparkly snow! I also love homemade hot chocolate and christmas cookies

katers79

@mrs.ess, @bears1011‌ and @BlueJoan‌ -- congrats!! FX @Tiffany0614‌ , @Bandy514‌ and @Kam10‌ for awesome betas! FX for @AuroraP725‌ for a great fert report for your 4!

@jen102279‌ - we're posting almost identically.

Waiting on PGD and AF for FET, and enjoying being injection-free for the first time in 7-8 wks. I almost didn't know what to do last night without lupron!

QOTD-- I'm a grouch in winter. I'm much more of a summer girl. I don't know why I live in the Chicago area-- winters are brutal.

Have a great weekend girls!

*************************BFP warning********************************

Howdy Sweet Peas! Wow, I am actually checking in on the right day. SO happy to see all the BFP's- and variety of good news. Hugs, love, and thoughts and prayers to those who need it.

AFM, I had my 2nd beta today. It went from 300 to 675 since Wednesday! So, we are moving along well and I'm so very thankful. 3rd beta is scheduled for Tuesday and ultrasound is scheduled for October 16th. Still so very nervous but thankful to have gotten this far.

QOTD: Well, since I live in South Florida, what I love most about winter is basically not sweating as much and saving money not running the air conditioning. But really, it's our best season of the year and I enjoy it very much.

***siggy warning***

@desertrose27 @bluejoan @MSU_Girl1202 @bears1011  GL at 2nd betas!

@starlightgator wonderful 2nd beta!

@MrsEss congrats on BFP!

@Kam10 @bandy514 Hope you rock your betas on Monday! Bandy - I had period like cramping too so FX it is a good sign for you!

@AuroraP725 Hope your fert report is great!

And T&Ps to everyone! This group is fantastic!

 

Giants721

@AuroraP725‌ Hope your fert report is great!

@desertrose27 @bluejoan @bears1011 and @MSU_Girl1202 fx for rising betas!

@starlightgator Great betas!

Congrats to the BFPs.

AFM I am 2dp5dt. I never thought I'd get here. My boobs are killing me, I'm exhausted, and I have a breakout of the smallest pimples?!? The progesterone and estrogen are screwing with my body. But I feel great. Mh wants me to wait for my beta on 10/10 but I can't and won't. They froze a blast on day 5 and another blast on day 6, so we have two frosties.

QOTW I like winter for the holidays but hate the long, cold, snowy days.
Edited for spelling

Mrs.Ess

@Kam10 @bandy514 GL with betas!

@Giants721‌ so exciting, FX for you!!

@AuroraP725 I hope you have an excellent fert report.

@Giants721 Congrats on two frosties! That's great!

@starlightgator Congrats on an awesome second beta!

erbear84

Congrats on all the great betas! I'm still sore 2 days post ER but I think a lot of that is because I went back to work today and my kids are just awful. I just keep thinking about my 13 embryos and how I need to calm down for them! Qotd: Christmas is the only part of winter I like. I hate winter!

sweetpotato123

***siggy warning ***


Holy moly! All this fantastic news is amazing. Huge congrats to all the BFPs and PUPOs.

Hoping the next few weeks fly by for those waiting for testing results and FETs.

Thinking of all of you with harder news and sending ((hugs)).

beachbum913

Holy cow, sweet peas! Such great news all over the place! Congrats on all the great betas and frosties!

AFM- i am 5dp3dt and hanging in there ok. This wait is awful, and on Wednesday, I found out none of my other 6 made it to freeze. I was pretty bummed about that, and it worried me about the two they transferred, but I've managed to get back my usual optimism, and feeling better about my chances. Beta is still a week away, and I promised myself I wouldn't POAS until Wednesday. .. We'll see how that goes.

QOTD: I hate everything about winter. We are even considering moving from NJ to FL once we are done with IVF so we can be warm year round.

Desertrose27

I'm not sure where I went, but I'm no longer listed at the top.  Could someone please move me to the BFP column?  Thanks. 

**** BFP Warning *****

2nd beta came back on Wednesday.  The number is 2097, for a doubling time of 40 hrs.    They want me to do a 3rd beta on Tuesday and then I will schedule the first ultrasound.  I'm super nervous about that, but I'll leave that to another board.  Thanks for the support everyone, but I think I'm going to move to lurking only.  Know that I support everyone who has upcoming ER or transfers!  Best of luck!

*** End Warning***

Best part of winter?  Christmas. 

fjamil1

Congrats to all the BFPs. and good Luck to all PUPO, and in between ER/ET.

AFM: Started BCP for a IVF #2 in November. RE said I can start right away. but I feel as though I should wait and heal from the first IVF. we are switching to Gonal-f and increasing the dosage. 

QOTD: Holidays

PurpleDaisy923

Congrats on the BFP @MrsEss!!

MSU_Girl1202

Hi sweet peas,
Well, I had my second beta...and it wasn't good news. My first one 2 days ago was 153. Today, my beta was 122.
They're having me return on Monday for a third, but I basically spent the last four hours bawling my eyes out and being a complete emotional trainwreck.
I know that it's not going to end well, but a tiny part of me is hoping that the lab messed up, or the nurse wrote down the wrong number, or something else that seems completely unlikely.
Really need some T&P right now, if not for a miracle, then for me to be able to have the strength to get through this.

mrscsw

@MSU_Girl1202‌ I am so sorry.  Keeping you in my T & P!!!  ((hugs))

Justone13

@MSU_Girl1202‌ I'm so sorry sweets. I hope that it still works out for you. Sending prayers your way!

fjamil1

MSU_Girl1202 I am so sorry you are going through this. Will keep you in my prayers.

beachbum913

@MSU_Girl1202‌ so sorry. Praying hard and sending tons of good vibes your way.

Marissa6609

@MSU_Girl1202‌ I am so sorry you are going through this. Beta uncertainty is the worst. Sending good vibes your way.

Giants721

@MSU_Girl1202‌ I'm sorry to hear this! Fx for a lab mixup ans stronger betas on on Monday. Sending you lots of T&P! Hugs!!

Mrs.Ess

@MSU_Girl1202‌ I am so sorry you're going through this. T&Ps coming your way.

((Hugs))

**siggy warning**

So so sorry @MSU_Girl1202‌ praying for you!

gnl42

I'm so sorry @MSU_Girl1202‌. Beta hell is the worst and I'm sure it's even more frustrating since you started with a great number. Thinking of you...

I haven't posted in a while, but just wanted to say that I'm still lurking and rooting for all of you. I'm truly so happy to read about each and every positive POAS and good beta. We have all been through so much. We all deserve to experience that.

For those with bad news this month, my heart really goes out to you. I hope you are able to find the strength to start again soon. It's a difficult road... But it will hopefully all be worth it in the end.

GL to everyone still awaiting transfer or in the 2ww. I will continue to lurk for updates!

erbear84

I'm sorry, @MSU_Girl1202‌.

siempre595

***warning***

2nd beta for me: 264.  It exactly doubled in 48 hours.  Nothing to do til sono on Oct 16.  

I'm pretty super bloated, I'm guessing this is mild hyperstimulaton.  And I have a cold/cough.  And I'm working all weekend.  

Pushing through.

ChristieH917

@AuroraP725 and @erbear84 Are both of you having your transfers today?
