@ConstanceGoodspeed Are you nervous about graduating at 8 weeks? (I do believe I've seen most people do it at 10 weeks, which is when I would do it if I make it that far) And yay for seeing a heartbeat! That must have been so exciting! Did you get to hear it? If not, will you get to hear it next time?
@MarlyHC Good luck tomorrow! I hope you get awesome news!

@babylonghorn16 and @Happydays13 Thanks for the reassurances . I had seen women talking about their meds getting adjusted after beta and @AandDM2014 brought up a good point, but I'll just continue trusting my clinic. They've gotten me this far! I'll see if they check my levels before telling me to stop the meds.
@happydays13 it is going to be so strange going two full weeks without a check-in! I'm going to have to keep myself occupied. Only 9 more days until your ultrasound!
@ConstanceGoodspeed Congrats on seeing the heartbeat! That just sounds wonderful.
Me:27 DH:28 Married in August 2013 IVF w/PGD to rule out a genetic disorder First IVF cycle: ER 6/20/16 (42 eggs retrieved, 31 mature, 27 fertilized with ICSI, 9 frozen and biopsied) Results: 3 embies passed both PGD & PGS testing (2 boys and a girl ). FET on 8/2/16, transferred our girl embryo. Beta on 8/11: 124!! Second Beta on 8/15: 1,117. First ultrasound (7 weeks) scheduled for 8/30.
@LittleSunshine Just wait until you graduate to an OB, and they don't see you for A MONTH! Now that is scary! And I'm sure your clinic knows what they are doing, it just makes me wonder if mine over checks things. I don't know if having PCOS affect my meds, because my body really doesn't want to naturally produce these hormones, but that may be why I'm checked every week.

I just had my first IUI on Monday and go in on 8/29 for my beta. I added myself to the spreadsheet. I am trying to keep myself occupied and not focus on every agonizing minute of the TWW. I dont think I have the self- control to avoid POAS. I am also took progesterone suppositories for the first time last night and I think I woke up every hour. Is that a typical thing?

I've been slow to jump in this month, just been busy, but my first beta after my 8/6 IUI is hopefully Monday (last cycle it was scheduled for Monday, and AF came on Saturday). I'm going to probably POAS on Sunday just to see if anything pops up. IDK, I agree with pp's it's a rollercoaster, but this time around I'm pretty sure it didn't take for some reason, I just have a feeling, so I'm not too hopeful. Guess we'll see.
Beta done. Waiting for call. This is officially the longest day of my life an it's only 9:45am.

I had my apt with the Doc on Tuesday. I think I hold myself together pretty well when I have a BFN but DH thinks differently. The apt felt like a little gang up on me day but it was ok some of the stuff said was pretty on key. He reminded me that its not failure its a miss. We have many more chances to make the shot life isn't over on a couple of misses. There is nothing I can do to MAKE it work. There's not enough pineapple core, or fuzzy socks to MAKE it work so stop stressing about the little stuff. He did mention using essential oils to relax and help with the anxiety of the TWW. Has anyone tried this? I googled some yesterday and found some concoctions good for relaxing the uterus and the mind. A mix of Crampbark, Partidgeberry, Black Haw Bark and Oat Flowers called UteriCalm. Most stuff I found says do not use after ovulation, that's not what we need lol.

@madasm0530 Do you know what time approximately you'll get the call? If so, would you be able to have your lunch break then (if it's not too late of course), so that you can step outside to get the call? I don't think I'd want to be in an office with others when getting the call. I personally would say work from home if your employer is okay with it!

@lilmissslp i just talked to my nurse and RE says she would go with a FET but she explained some people like to do another fresh cycle to bank more eggs for down the line since i am 30 not knowing how soon #2 might be in the works that could mean im pushing 35. she didn't mention anything about testing or anything so that doesnt seem to be a concern for either of them at this point.
@rmarble23 oh ok, that makes sense. I didn't even think about that part of it. I did read on the other board that you're moving forward and transferring both. I'm excited for you and hope it works out for you!

Hi ladies. I did have my beta on Wednesday but it was negative. I have been devasted by this result.
@JAH87. I'm so sorry to hear about your results. Hang in there we will get through it.
@madasm0530 if you have the option to work from home I definitely would. That would decrease my anxiety level for sure. I got my call and I was around at least 20 people.

Negative. I'm super bummed but it was our first IUI. hopefully by fine tuning meds we'll have a better shot next time.

FET #2- February 2017 BFP Beta #1- 119 (8dp5dt) Beta #2- 475 (12dp5dt)
@babylonghorn16 - I know what you mean...after so much time with constant monitoring, then at this critical time, we just wait! good news is we are less than a week away...but I am trying really hard not to worry when I don't have symptoms.
first RE visit 11/15, me - blocked left tube and Low AMH, DH - low count, motility not great
5/16 Lupron, gonal f, menopur, dexamethasone (5/19 suppression check: 13 resting follicles; 5/24: estradiol 457 - decreased menopur;
5/27: estradiol 1417, progesterone 0.18, 5 follicles >15mm, 9 follicles 5-15mm; 5/30: estradiol 2964, progesterone 0.8, 9 follicles
>16mm, 6 follicles 6-11mm; 5/31: estradiol 3149, progesterone 4.1; 6/1 ER)
6/16 egg retrieval 6/1 (15 eggs, 14 mature, 7 fertilized with ICSI); 5 day update (5AB (biopsied and frozen), 4AB/C (biopsied and frozen), 2/3, 3 morula, 1 multicellular); 7 day update (4 frozen and sent for CCS: 5AB, 4AB/C, 5AB, 4BB); CCS results (2 normal, 1 abnormal, 1 inconclusive)
7/16 attempt to retest inconclusive - didn't survive thaw
8/16 transfer day 8/1: 2 5AB hatching blasts, beta 8/10 = 250!!, beta #2 8/12 = 572, ultrasound on 8/24...TWINS!
@babylonghorn16 FX for an awesome us next week! the beach trip will be great to take your mind off things.
AFM; beta is tomorrow morning at 7:30 am. I am debating going to work right afterwards or working at home until I hear back. Any suggestions?

@APM_SLP Sorry about the CP
I had my apt with the Doc on Tuesday. I think I hold myself together pretty well when I have a BFN but DH thinks differently. The apt felt like a little gang up on me day but it was ok some of the stuff said was pretty on key. He reminded me that its not failure its a miss. We have many more chances to make the shot life isn't over on a couple of misses. There is nothing I can do to MAKE it work. There's not enough pineapple core, or fuzzy socks to MAKE it work so stop stressing about the little stuff.
He did mention using essential oils to relax and help with the anxiety of the TWW. Has anyone tried this? I googled some yesterday and found some concoctions good for relaxing the uterus and the mind. A mix of Crampbark, Partidgeberry, Black Haw Bark and Oat Flowers called UteriCalm. Most stuff I found says do not use after ovulation, that's not what we need lol.
