  • @SingleGeneMe - I'm so sorry your beta was low. Please let us know what it is on Wednesday. Sending prayers and hugs your way. :heart:
  • Congrats @taddesse and @Joslynj11!

    @SingleGeneMe, I'm so so sorry about your beta number. Sending so many hugs and good thoughts your way.

    Fingers crossed for you @PCOSat25!

    AFM, I had to take a break this weekend. My SO and I made a pact to stay off the internet and hang out all weekend in efforts to stay sane while we wait. My beta isn't until Friday, and I'm resisting every urge to POAS. I have total POAS PTSD. Trying to keep calm until I go in for my test. =)

    @taddesse and @Joslynj11 congratulations!! 

    @SingleGeneMe I'm so sorry, many hugs! 

    @ohcasii we are transfer buddies almost down to the same time!  Mine is at 1:30 on Thursday.  

    I had a yucky night last night.  First night doing 2 shots instead of one and I felt a little lightheaded after the second one.  Was fine after a few.  Tonight I laid down for PIO and was fine.  I give you girls major props if you give your shots to yourself.  I couldn't.  Then my DH goes and says "we only have one more night to get through we can do this!"  No hun, we keep going with this! For our fresh transfer I was on estrace and suppositories so we didn't do shots after our transfer and he thought we were almost done. 

    ETA: my whole post didn't post before :(

  • @PCOSat25, I hadn't seen your news when I posted earlier. Congratulations! That's amazing!!
  • @hibiscus118 Wow, that's crazy timing. Sorry you weren't feeling well, but I'm glad you feel better now. We're doing an out of state transfer so we just flew in today. The traveling has worn me out. As soon as we got to the hotel we took a long nap. DH is terrible with needles so I have been doing all of the injections myself. I didn't think I could but, when it comes down to it, you do what you've got to do. It's not actually half as bad as I thought it was going to be. Even though it's tough, fingers crossed that we all get the results we are hoping for even if that means more meds :) Anyone else doing a FET with a donor embryo?
  • Well my second beta was 13, so I'm officially out. After two consecutive cycles (both ending in chemical pregnancies) I'm ready for a break. Also with my transfers being $5k a pop, my wallet could use a break as well. I hope you all have much better luck than me!

  • @SingleGeneMe I'm so sorry to hear that your beta went down. This is all so hard and emotionally depleting.  I hope that you take time to love and pamper yourself during this time. Hugs 
  • @SingleGeneMe So sorry to hear that, take care of yourself. I'll be sending positive thoughts your way.
  • I got a faint positive this morning :wink: I know it's only 6dp5dt but I'm glad I tested. Last cycle ended in a chemical PG so I'm not getting my hopes up quite yet...BUT, it's a step.in the right direction.

    Anyone else test recently? Who else is waiting for their beta?
  • @SingleGeneMe I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope the time off is healing. Sending lots of good thoughts and hugs your way.
  • @Sweetdrms182 I'm still waiting for my beta, but I've held back from any POAS testing. My beta is actually tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
  • @SingleGeneMe I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you pamper yourself! I'm currently 2dp5dt. Beta is on March 3rd. I'm going to try my not to test. I might test like the morning of or morning before! How's everyone else doing?
  • @ohcasii hope your transfer goes smoothly today!  FX!! 

    @SingleGeneMe I'm so sorry.   Take some time for you and rejuvenate yourself.

    @ohcasii thanks!  All went great on my end.  I couldn't get to sleep last night and woke up feeling anxious and tired as well.  I did calm down some before we left.

  • @JamieH2000 Thank you for your support girlie, it means the world to me and from the bottom of my heart I can't wait to share this joy with you. I see in your siggie that you are getting back on the horse!! That is so exciting, I am praying so hard for you. Any plans to add anything this transfer. I will say I started walking everyday for 30 mins on my lunch break about a month prior and drinking pom juice daily to help with my circulation and build my lining and I def think it helped. Also I took the supplement Bromalin which is what we are looking for by eating pineapple core. I skipped the core completely and just took the supplement. I read that is what helps the embaby and the lining make a good first impression. Out of all that I am not sure what made #3 my magic cycle but I think they made have helped. Prayers girlie :)

  • @Joslynj11 That's so exciting!!! My transfer went great, we had two embies out of three thaw beautifully and transferred smoothly. Travel was crazy getting back home, our united flight was delayed an hour causing us to miss our connection resulting in us getting home 17 hours later than we had planned... so much for comfy relaxation. My clinic says they won't give me any numbers or news until after the second beta... not sure how I feel about this. @FamousAmous and @hibiscus118 Glad your transfers went well too, fingers crossed!

  • @ohcasii my clinic was the same way. No results until after beta 2. I had my first beta 8dp5dt and second at 10dp5dt. I got the both results after the second. The wait was tough but I was POAS everyday sooooo I knew what was coming. 

    @SingleGeneMe I am so sorry!!! Sending lots of peace and positive vibes your way. 
  • @ohcasii glad you made it home safely.  Did you have to travel because of donor embryo?  My clinic doesn't make you wait until second beta but I have to wait until 13pd5dt!  

    I am feeling nauseated already.  I know it's entirely way to early so I'm guessing meds, but weird timing that just messes with my head.. haha!  Otherwise a little crampy on and off but feeling good.

    EDD: 11/11/17 with a baby GIRL!

  • Welp had my beta done early (long story)...my beta at 8dp5dt was only 27. Last time at 8dp5dt it was 20 and ended in a chemical pregnancy.  We will see what it is on Monday. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. 
  • I got my beta results back, and I could not be more astonished. I have NEVER tested positive or been pregnant before... but my first beta 9dp6dt was 256. My SO took off from work to wait with me for the results, and the nurse called while we were out for a walk. When she told me I was pregnant, I straight up sobbed in the middle of the sidewalk.

    My progesterone tested a little low, though, so she told me to go home and restart the PIO injections. I'll be doing those in addition to the suppositories for the next bit. Heading back on Monday for a second beta. 

    So, so happy right now.

    @RedBess - Congrats!!! Great numbers!

    I think I'm out- I haven't had my second beta but with my first being 27 8dp5dt coupled with the fact that the line on the HPT has only gotten lighter in the last few days I think this is another chemical PG. I don't regret testing early - it was better to prepare myself for this news than to have to hear from someone else for the first time over the phone. I'm secretly hoping the news will surprise me tomorrow but I know that it's not likely.

    Good luck to everyone! 
  • Oh no @Sweetdrms182 I'm sorry to hear that. I won't even tell you to keep positive because sometimes you just know how you want to feel and that's it. I hope you're hanging in there today.

  • Thank you @Joslynj11 and @FamousAmous !
    It's not looking good. The beta I had monday was 30 (Saturday it was 27). They didn't let me stop meds and said to go in tomorrow. They are thinking ectopic. :disappointed:
  • Oh no, @Sweetdrms182! I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending hugs and good thoughts.
