    So sorry @JAH87.  Do you know what your plan is going forward?

    AF showed up on her own. I've never been so excited to see her. I start iui #2. Start Femara on Sunday, u/s on 8/30 @ 9:30am and will find out when to do trigger shot and iui. 
  • I'm glad you have a quick plan moving forward @JAH87!

  • So I gave in and POAS just a bit ago because I started spotting and cramping. AF is expected to make an appearance any day now. My beta is scheduled for tomorrow and not sure if they will make me wait until monday to give me my results so I went ahead and tested. Im so confused as to whether I'm pregnant or not only because I've never had a positive outcome. Thoughts? Just a little history, Ive done 8 IUI's and 4 IVF's and all were BFN. 
  • @Steff_99 That sure looks like a positive to me, but I've only ever used digital ones.

    Hi, all! I just added my info to the spreadsheet. The beta for my FET is on Friday 8/26. I'm driving myself crazy overanalyzing every phantom symptom in the meantime. But after my last experience (*tw - c/p), I am NOT testing early. Five more days - I hope I can make it!!!

    Congrats to all the BFPs so far this month (so many!!!), and best wishes to those who are trying to regroup after a BFN. <3

  • Congrats @Steff_99 !!

    Good luck @BornReady !!

    AFM the line keep getting darker everyday :) 
  • @AandDM2014 How did I miss that your sono came back with Triplets? Are they sure about that? TW during my pregnancy with the twins my first sono at 6 weeks showed triplets but my next sono at 9 weeks there was only the 2. They don't know if it was consumed or if we just saw a reflection of baby b's heartbeat. My first beta was 659 then the second at 1635. 

    AFM looks like I stop BCP this week and start the same o same o schedule for an FET on Sept 16th. We will be defrosting 2 early and observing them based on how they develop we will decide if one goes back to the freezer or if we will transfer 2.

  • Congrats @Steff_99!

    @thucks, I don't think I shared over here. But yes, they are sure it was 3. They were all different sizes and all had different heart rates. It is possible that the slower smaller one will stop growing on it's own, and it'll go down to twins. My beta rose by almost 7,000 over the course of 5 days. Best of luck on your upcoming cycle!

    Congrats @BornReady awesome beta! 
  • Glad to hear its getting darker @SanBL just a few more days.
  • Anyone have light spotting and cramping after your positive beta? I think I'm feaking myself out. AF was supposed to make an appearance yesterday. 
    Thanks!

    @BornReady I already said, but congrats again!! I also just noticed that your beta number is 1 higher than mine was!

    @Steff_99 I had spotting for about a week and a half after my positive.

    @ashley3740 any update on your betas? Hopefully good news!

    Let's get some more BFPs!!! You're next @SanBL... praying for some good news from you tomorrow!

    Should be a picture up there... can y'all see? For some reason i'm unable to see posted pictures from my desktop AND mobile!!  :'(

  • @babylonghorn16 - i can see the link to the chart, but not the actual chart...? 
  • Thanks @babylonghorn16 , but my clinic do beta at 10dp5dt, so my beta will actually be Thursday. Congrats on seeing the heartbeat!!!
  • Beta #2 is at 292. Not sure if I should be worried since they want to see it at least double which would have been 328. 
  • @steff_99 I've been just reading everyone's updates since moving over to the preg after if board. The doubling time is 48-72 hrs actually. As long as it goes up 60% in the first 48hrs you're good. Mine was at a 62% increase the first 48 hrs, then my 3rd beta a week after the first jumped up and had a doubling time of 1.8 days. Try not to stress bc it's going up just fine.
