Hubby cancelled Thanksgiving because I haven't been feeling well and he doesn't want me having to deal with the stress or be on my feet cooking for all them hours. He told me to take the holiday to rest up before FET and we will do a big Christmas... and I'm actually happy about that. So that means I'll be walking around in bra and panties all weekend since no one is coming over! YEE HAW!!!

Had my ultrasound yesterday (9w+5) and it was awesome! Strong heartbeat and was moving and jumping all over place! When did the pregnant lafies start to show a bump or stil' nothing? We are stil' keeping the secret for now but just want to be prepared! I am still worried all the time that something goes wrong! When did you all make or will make it official? I am having next u/s to measure egerything and get checked for trisome of the child. They dont maie harmony tests jere - only if the u/s shows a probability....
@Christiniv CONGRATS!!! I will be 11 weeks tomorrow... still not telling many people.... I want to get another appointment under my belt! We are sending out a Christmas card in a few weeks so it'll definitely be common knowledge by then!! I am having twins and still not noticeably pregnant, so plan on keeping it quiet for a few more weeks at work, too. Definitely bloated and my husband and I can both tell there's a change, but I don't think even my family that knows would say I look pregnant..... dress pants are definitely feeling tight!!
@Christiniv it 100% depends on your body type. I'm only 10 weeks and if you know me, you'd know. I camoflauge and rock maternity pants Bc none of my clothes fit. It's just a little bitty rock hard bump, but it's there! I wasn't gonna say until around Christmas for most people, but I caught two people eyeing my belly today. I'm a toothpick so there's really no much I can do!
Hey @Christiniv, I've been thinking about you... I always think of you as my IVF twin because our first betas were so close. Baby's gestation today is 10w1d.
I'm not showing and we haven't told anybody yet. We are waiting until 12w4d when we will see some of our family in person. That weekend, we will be telling parents and siblings (12 total), but we are planning to wait until around 20-22ish weeks for the big announcement (Valentine's maybe). It is easier for us to hide that long because we live so far from our family and our core group of friends. Of course that is subject to change based on excitement level.
I am also still worried (re paranoid) that something will go wrong, so we are eagerly awaiting our next ob appointment (almost 4 weeks from now). Our first appointment was pretty anti-climatic, nothing measured and quick ultrasound that I couldn't even see.
@Colleen0516 Whooo--hoooo! that is awesome, so glad you get to sneak a FET before the new year!
@Colleen0516 yeah December FETs!!! So excited for you guys!
I'm at my OB apt for the NIPT testing. Nervous as hell, but then got distracted Bc I've gained 3 pounds since my last visit 2 weeks ago (113 to 116) WTF? I haven't even been able to eat anything! This is me looking at the dr:
@jav5y2 so glad to hear from you. We are so close real'y-on'y the 2 days difference ! I really want to tell close friends in person and i know it will make the round very quickly . So 12w6d will be the day we announce unkess anything gies wrong or any test come bacl not ad they should! God i am so paranoid- its so annoying. @HBamama2B i guess once i have a little bump people realize. I lost weight not long ago after moving from the usa to europe. Do many people realize that.
I am very worried about the measurment about trisomie. No genetic testing here and everybody says and knows that garmony test have a possibility of false results so i dont think i ll go for it and pay it unless anything is wrong.
I am still so happy that this cycle actually was the one but still cant believe it.
Chile... I'll take your 116. I was 125 when I started which is my ideal weight... chile I'm at 137 now. My legs thick like they were when I ran track. I think all the hormones making me build more muscle because I don't LOOK heavier. I look more muscular. It's strange... but DH loves it!

I told people at 8 weeks (I'm 13 weeks today).I figured if something happened, I would want support. I have gained 3lbs since the start of ivf and prenancy. I feel gross though. I look huge! The dr said my uterus is measuring 18 weeks or so. Its strange. Everything is measuring perfect besides. I was a bodybuilder before and i havent worked out at all. I was super fit but I'm bigger than you ladies. (150lbs) You'll deliver at my starting weight. Jelly:/
Mommies to be of twins, what was your HCG level beta day ? I got a positive today and we only transferred one embryo and my beta was 374, wondering if that is high or what! Thanks!!!
Wow!! @athompson0308, bodybuilding!?! That is awesome, such dedication! @ShayLatrice you are building muscle... so jealous!
Like @athomspon0308, I definitely started higher than you gals about 150, but have actually lost a bit more than 5 pounds since our ER. I haven't been having morning sickness, haven't puked yet (figures crossed it says that way), but eating anything has been an absolute chore. Nothing is appetizing and I've been eating like a bird, often, but I just haven't been able to stomach much. Monday was my last progesterone, I'm hoping it gets a little better, but my stomach is still pretty sour.
Also, I should say that I'm not very happy about those 5 pounds. Between the lack of exercise and lifting, I am certain that I am only losing muscle and my thighs are not looking like the days when I ran track! @ShayLatrice
Tonight when I was walking my sweet Olive, a big dog, probably 70lbs or so, jumped up on my stomach... at what point to I call my OB or should I just call tomorrow to be safe?
@jav5y2 you should absolutely be fine. Baby is still hidden away by your pelvis and safe. I would say don't call unless you have pain or bleeding.
@ShayLatrice lol, your husband sounds awesome and a lot like mine. My DH says I've gained it all in my boobs and butt, and he likes it a lot. I usually have an overly muscled frame (loved my old six pack) but got squishy and actually lost weight on the hormones whichbis bad. I struggle to maintain a healthy BMI and if I get down to 109, I'm like extra next level infertile. After IVF, I was down to 110 at 5wks from my 117 normal weight. I'm 100% positive it was all muscle density I lost.
@joyzie77 My FET is the 9th. I only have one also, and that's definitely all it takes! Fx!!

@tatkat54 we transferred one and our beta at 11dpt was 968. Found out at week 6 that we were having identical twins. I think 300 - something is plenty normal for one
I feel and look pregnant lol I am 13 weeks today. Still no word yet but DH has taken to calling the babies girls lol, I think he has excepted that they may in fact both be girls.
Wow to all the news busy busy at my office the last day.
My Beta 8p3dt was 358. Then when I went in again I got 900 2 days later.
But everyone is different and get beta testing at different points during the 2ww. @Mclorn your bounced super high didn't it

@jav5y2 oh puppers!! Hope you're feeling okay.... I'm sure it's all fine!
Yes my beta was high to start (over 750 but at 10dp6dt). https://www.betabase.info check that out!
I've honestly never tracked my weight... As an adult I think I fluctuate 10lbs without really noticing it. D1 athlete in college so lots of changes with workouts, etc. My husband was laughing at my stomach last night because it goes 4 pack, belly button, baby bump!
Oh funny story! My friend has IVF twins due to unexplained infertility. Twins hit 6 months and she stopped pumping. Got pregnant that month!!!! Soooooo that can happen!!!
My beta is scheduled for Friday- 9dp5dfet. It will be my second. I haven't poas yet because I did last time and it was like getting terrible news multiple times a day. I don't have any symptoms and feel exactly the same as I did last time- like it didn't work. So- I've made a wtf appointment with my re for Friday afternoon and I'm putting together a list of things to ask about since I really believed that transferring a genetically tested 6AA hatched embryo was pretty much a slam dunk but am finding out otherwise. Please, please, read my list and let me know if you have any other ideas about things that should be addressed. Thank you!!! Should I have/why didn't I already have.. - Endometrial scratch - Endometrial receptivity array - Natural killer cells test - Prednisone - lovenox - hla matching - intralipids - neupogen - can I get a Medically necessary letter for genetic testing of next round so I can use my flex spending $ - if we go Surrogacy estimate $ and ballpark time - can we go straight to surrogacy now that we have 2 failed get? - is it Medically necessary that we get a surrogate at this point, when? - Stats on fet #3 - at this point do you Recommend 2 embryos be transferred? - What's reasonable cutoff for Ivf? 2 tries? 6 tries?
@isabelfuentes2015 I made a wtf appointment for right after my second transfer in case it also failed. So I think that's a great plan. I will take some time and try to think of other things to add. Xoxoxoxo
@Isabelfuentes2015 thinking sticky thoughts for you! I did the same thing after our IUI, but went in before my beta. Re was like, but you don't even know if it worked yet. I stared him down, then forced him to plan my next steps.
I'll think too, but that's a great list. If you get there--Don't let that RE out of the room till you've got what you want. Just do what I do and Honey Badger the sh$t out of him.
Yes. I'm officially 1 week away which is so crazy to me.

Well FET is pushed til Dec 8th. To give my lining a lil more time. Its at 6mm and they want it at least 8mm. I'm irritated. I'm physically exausted and I'm over the Lupron headaches and I now have to put the estrace in vaginally.

I had to cancel my wtf appointment bc after years and years of trying I finally saw 2 lines! Hcg was 211, progesterone was 27. Today is 9dp5dfet. I have to go back in on Tuesday for Bloodwork. Ahhh!!!!
@ShayLatrice sorry about the push back. I've been on endometrin vaginal suppositories for about 3 weeks now and they are pretty nasty. Get lots of panty liners and you will be okay.

Should I have/why didn't I already have..
- Endometrial scratch
- Endometrial receptivity array
- Natural killer cells test
- Prednisone
- lovenox
- hla matching
- intralipids
- neupogen
- can I get a Medically necessary letter for genetic testing of next round so I can use my flex spending $
- if we go Surrogacy estimate $ and ballpark time
- can we go straight to surrogacy now that we have 2 failed get?
- is it Medically necessary that we get a surrogate at this point, when?
- Stats on fet #3
- at this point do you Recommend 2 embryos be transferred?
- What's reasonable cutoff for Ivf? 2 tries? 6 tries?
I'll think too, but that's a great list. If you get there--Don't let that RE out of the room till you've got what you want. Just do what I do and Honey Badger the sh$t out of him.
