Starlight811

I can't find a thread started for testing of week 3/27/16 so here we go! I just came back from IUI#3 and having moderate cramping so I'm resting the rest of the day. TWW is the worst! I have my BETA friday 4/1/16...on april fools day ha! 

PrayingMom2Be

Oh dear sweet TWW, the hardest part of the process. I did our first FET yesterday, and my beta will be on 3/28. We transferred two 5-day PGS tested embryos. FX everyone!!!!!!!

bbkidz

Prayers for all of you! I will be testing 4/1/16 at home & then beta following, good Lord willing!

I am also in the tww and beta is on 27th. I will prob POAS the day before if I can hold out for that long. This is our second FET and I'm really hoping it's the one. Fx to everyone  

MrsM00re87

My beta is also on April Fools.. so fx to all of us testing soon.. so far no TWW jitters, trying to stay off of driving myself crazy due to early testing

Starlight811

Slight cramping still 3dpiui but overall feel good. Anyone else take hcg shot? I have had vivid dreams since the shot and wake up middle of the night haven't had a good nights rest for a while now after shot my first IUi i had same thing but second not at all. How is everyone feeling? We have a week to go!

capps42613

@Starlight811 I took the HCG injection on 3/12 prior to my ER, didn't notice any vivid dreams. I'm feeling pretty good. I was definitely cramping for a few hours this morning. Hoping it was the beginning of my embabies implanting lol DH & I have decided that I will POAS Easter Sunday (10dp3dt), 2 days before scheduled beta. Anyone else testing early?

MrsM00re87

I'll prolly test begin testing on Saturday - 10dp3dt 
prolly is too early, but I prolly won't be able to wait till later on. 

PrayingMom2Be

Another transfer (5th attempt) in the books for me today! BETA scheduled for 03/30, 9 days which is usually 10 but one day less of waiting so I'll take it! There's a Japanese RN at my RE's office who made a origami crane/stork for me for good luck and of course I had a moment (didn't help that DH couldn't go because of work for the first time) right as my RE and 2 interns coming in but they were all so supportive and understanding! RE said it's only right I cry after what I been through and so he prays he doesn't see me till my U/S! 
This is definitely a LONG and CRAZY journey but I know it'll be so worth it at the end!! 

FX, GL and prayers for us all!!

@capps42613At first I was totally planning to wait for the beta, but seeing as how it will be on a Monday I think we are going to POAS on Easter Sunday (like you) so I don't have to find out at work. I'm super nervous. 

Also, my body is a hot mess. Today I had nausea off and on, I've had cramping, headaches and serious irritability. It's impossible to know if it's pregnancy related or just because of the meds. Oh TWW you kill me! 

flanners1

@PrayingMom2Be you are PUPO! Congrats. 5 is a lot. I can imagine how you got emotional with the nurses showing all that love!
Hoping you get your BFP. You deserve it. 

@capps42613 @MrsM00re87 I'm also debating to POAS, but probably at 7dp5dt (beta is on 10dp5dt) that would be Thursday. Very nervous but I am not able to wait until Sunday and find out on the phone. That's just too hard. I know that's odd, but I need to prepare myself. 
@ssandberg hot mess indeed. I'm also irritable and have been cramping for a few days but that could also just be the nerves. 

Fx to all you lovely ladies. 

PrayingMom2Be

@flanners1 thank u! I celebrate my 35th on good Friday and have dinner plans with family in Schaumburg, IL at a humongous seafood/Asian buffet and already telling myself nothing raw (sushi and oysters are my fave), cut out caffeinated sodas a while back and had my last caffeinated coffee yesterday morning so decafe started again today. Thankfully with my bday and Easter this weekend, next Wednesday will be here quickly! 

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

alexiskiriluk

Looks like a lot of Easter time betas with the hopes of Christmas babies!!!! 
Mum currently 6dp a 6dt. I want to POAS but I'm going to resist!!! My beta will be 3/28 12dpt @PrayingMom2Be I will be turning 35 on April 6th. Happy birthday! Hopefully we will have great birthday gifts this year!!! 
@ssandberg my body is a hot mess too! Just a mind game!!! Hopefully some of the symptoms are becoming good signs!! 

What are you all doing to stay distracted? I need a book!!! Suggestions welcome!!! :-)

@alexiskiriluk have you read 'You Before Me'? It was really good. Could not put it down.

alexiskiriluk

BFP warning!!! 


Ok, so I caved!!! I just got a faint positive tonight!!!! I am in shock!!! 6dp a 6dt!!! 

ssandberg

Wow congrats @alexiskiriluk! 6 dp huh? Wow. So exciting! I'm still trying to hold out for Sunday...

capps42613

@alexiskiriluk that's awesome! Congratulations! I feel like I have to at least hold off til the weekend to make sure my trigger shot left my system (3/12), and being as though my embabies were only day 3's. My timeline says they should just be starting to implant for me, and not releasing HCG yet. I initially had no intentions on POAS to avoid any false outcomes. But I can't wait!! Lol

MrsM00re87

Wow that's great news @alexiskiriluk
congrats to you!!

alexiskiriluk

Thanks ladies!!! I was frozen so I do not have a trigger shot and my embryo was a 6 day so technically it's a 12 dpo. I was not going to do it but I had a feeling. I peed in a cup and told my husband to donut and not tell me. Right. I was up stairs 30 seconds shaking and crying so worried it would be negative! This was our only embryo. I am beyond thankful. Just hope everything is ok and beta looks good. 
Cant wait to see all of your BFPs! 

flanners1

@alexiskiriluk congrats! So happy for you and what an auspicious start for this group. 

flanners1

Agh, I made the mistake of POAS-ing today, 7dp5dt and it was a BFN.
Still 3 days to beta, but feeling really down already - this is so hard. 

capps42613

@flanners1 I still have hope for you!!! FX! How have you been feeling? Any symptoms? I know it's hard to tell with PIO.

flanners1

Thanks @capps42613 I had cramping the first few days and sore boobs and felt bloated. Now I'm feeling pretty normal. I was so sure it was implantation cramping. I am on suppositories so it's not from PIO shots. Maybe it really is super early. Not giving up hope just yet. Fx to you too 

capps42613

@flanners1 yes, it could still be early. Here is what I've read.... Maybe you just don't have enough HCG detectable yet 

Starlight811

Day #3 of taking pregesterone suppositories i hate them by the way lol...very messy ! Overall the vivid dreams and hot flashes/night sweats have stopped yay! Hope this next week will pass quickly! I will take an HPT on 4/1 same day as beta because my clinic won't obtain results until sat morning 4/2. Hope everyone is staying busy busy busy!!!

flanners1

thanks for sharing that @capps42613 very helpful table. It could really be too early! I held off from testing again this morning. Will try to stick to it until my beta on Sunday.
@Starlight811 I also take the suppositories. Extremely messy but I think better than the pain I hear you can get from PIO. FX to you

alexiskiriluk

I am on the PIO injections and they are not fun!!!! 
@flanners1 I think you tested to early!! Mine was very faint at 6 and 7 days past the 6dt!! 
On my way for my beta!!! 

MrsM00re87

@alexiskiriluk thinking positive vibes for you!!! A good high beta...

alexiskiriluk

Beta at 9dpt is in 138!!! Very relieved!! 

capps42613

@alexiskiriluk yayy!! Congrats. Hope you're the first of many BFP this week!

ssandberg

I've had dizziness off and on, and today it's hitting a high. Anyone else experience this? I'm on PIO, delestrogen and progesterone suppositories. 

alexiskiriluk

@ssandberg that was my first symptom!! 

ssandberg

@alexiskiriluk ahhh! Really?! POAS Sunday for me!

PrayingMom2Be

@alexiskiriluk congrats, a great early bday gift for u!!! So u got ur BFP on my bday than maybe I can share my (prayerfully) BFP on yours! Lol

AFM still no new symptoms outside of PIO and maybe a few twinges/cramping here and there but had an AMAZING bday and it's only the beginning to a great weekend!!

Have a good weekend and Easter everyone!!! 

MrsM00re87

BFN this morning at 10dp3dt. 
And I keep getting odd cramps right after I take the progesterone suppository. Doesn't look good for me. But hope everyone else has better luck then me. So far this whole IVF process has been a huge let down. I went into it with sooo many expectations, only to have them completely crushed. Oh well. 

alexiskiriluk

@MrsM00re87 when is your first beta? It's not over until AF! Try to stay positive! FX for your BFP! What type of test did you use? 

vssbrm

@MrsM00re87 I'm sorry you got a BFN this morning, my fingers are crossed that you are just a late implanter. Thinking of you.

MrsM00re87

@vssbrm and @alexiskirilukI did use a $cheapie that I had remaining from my prior failed iui cycles. So prolly not the greatest test. I will try again tomorrow with FR. 
I have had some brown spotting... Cramps, soreness to my lower back. Trying to up my fluids and rest as much as possible. Tylenol is my best friend right now. I think it's the endometrin suppositories, the cramping starts an hour after I take it. So I'm figuring it's that.  
My beta is scheduled for 03/30. 14dp3dt. 
I am planning on asking for an early beta on Monday, 12dp3dt just cuz I have to work the 30th and I really don't wanna get bad news while I'm at work. Id rather prepare myself before hand.
