April FET

Re: April FET

  • I just got the call my Transfer is scheduled for noon EST time on Monday. I like the later time since they thaw and watch longer but it kills the day. It's a 2 hr drive and a 1 hr time difference for me. I'm so nervous. I NEED this to work I'm getting tired. Hopefully 5th FET time is a charm??

  • @thucks - yay, good luck! FX for a smooth transfer and that it's a super sticky embryo! :smile:
  • @JuliaGoolia719 so you've had cramping too??!! My boobs r killing me but they hurt a little before transfer too so I know that's not a thing....my beta is the 28th, how about you??
  • @thucks good luck, FX for smooth transfer and quick TWW; enjoy a relaxing weekend!
    @Rachel_leigh22 Especially the first few days I had cramps/twinges, not as much since then but every now and then they come and go.  I've been obsessively googling xdp5dt and seeing what other peoples symptoms were, and I've been super tired.  Especially the boob soreness I know can be traced back to the hormones, and I'm trying so hard not to read into the symptoms/things I'm making up in my head etc.....
    My beta is the 25th, I decided I'm going to POAS on Monday and Tues before the blood work, according to the charts I found online there should be hcg in my blood by then, whether or not the sticks are sensitive enough pick it up.  I am not exactly expecting to see anything on the tests, but I'll feel better if I do something to check lol.

  • @JuliaGoolia719 YAY! I have all the things crossed for you.

  • Congrats Julia
  • @JuliaGoolia719 congrats on the 2 lines. That's exciting. Beta tomorrow right?

    Transfer went well. Of course I had to empty my bladder some. I have a mom bladder I can't tell when its full unless it's way to full. We did notice that he put the embryo in a slightly different spot than usual idk.

    Beta back at 62, my progesterone was at 33.  The nurse sounded happy about the HCG and said that the progesterone was a really good #, of course as soon as they called I started cramping which freaked me out and now I'm going to freak out until Thursday when we find out if its rising the way its supposed to.  I know the initial # isn't all that important, its the rising that's the important part. I totally POAS this morning and the line was noticeable darker than yesterday so that's encouraging. 

    Can someone tell me when the "holding your breath till the next step" part ends? (rhetorical question, I know it never does)

  • @thucks I've been not being able to sleep either! So weird...


    @JuliaGoolia719 congrats! I don't know anything about beta numbers but those sound good for being your first ones!! Fx for them to climb by Thursday!! 
    AFM I caved and poas this morning, cheap ones from amazon but I saw a vfl within the 5min window so I'm cautiously hopeful, even DH saw the lines without prompting...I'll test again Thursday to see if they get darker. My bloodwork is Friday.

  • yay congrats to all those who had success with their FET. For those who are not i know its a big disappointment. It would be nice to know for those who did not have a pos hcg what they are doing moving forward - taking a break or not? also im curious for those who do have a positive beta - what are your plans? I know for me its the nervousness and anxiety having had a previous miscarriage
  • @jackiesmom324 I just had my 2nd beta today with good results. This is the furthest into a pregnancy that I've ever been, so I'm just trying to take it all a day at a time. It's still so early so I'm trying to manage my excitement because I know that it could still end badly. I haven't had a mc, but I've also never been pregnant, it's been a long 2.5 years waiting to see double lines on a home pregnancy test so I'm just trying to enjoy this feeling for as long as I can.

  • You guys...my HCG levels are at 485...I can't believe it and progesterone at 45.7....it worked! Being cautiously excited! Next blood test is Tuesday 
  • @Rachel_leigh22 Way to rock the Beta!!! Your not on the spreadsheet how many did you transfer??? 
    @JuliaGoolia719 That's great that it doubled. Is there a 3rd beta coming or US next?

  • Hi ladies, I just barely made it into this group, if you don't mind me joining!  I had my ER on April 1 and just had my FET of 2 embryos on April 25th.  Beta is May 4, I cannot wait!
  • @kiwisun4385 welcome! FX for a quick wait until the 4th!!

    Together Let Us Seek the Heights


  • Thanks everyone! I know nothing about beta numbers but 485 sounded pretty good for 11dp5dt. I haven't gotten as happy as I thought I would b though, I don't think my mind is letting me be but I'm really hoping the number climbs by Tuesday! 

    @JuliaGoolia719 good luck Monday! 


    @kiwisun4385 welcome! 
  • @Rachel_leigh22 I feel the same way! I thought as soon as I saw the double lines, heard back about my hcg, hearing it more than doubled at my 2nd beta, that I'd be so psyched....and I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. 
    I was telling DH last night how excited I was getting, and then went to the bathroom and found some bright pink spotting when I wiped (sorry tmi), it didn't keep going last night or this morning but suddenly I was back to being terrified. I feel better this morning but I told DH that if this goes badly we're torching that onesie I bought the other day....

    I'm looking at our chart and it looks like I'm the last one hanging out waiting for my Beta. I seriously hope I'm not the only negative in this board this month!! :neutral: 2 days 17hrs 37min until blood draw then probably another 6hrs till they call with my BETA I'm 8d5dt now. I don't like to POSA it makes me a nervous wreck.

  • @thucks - hopefully the success of this group is a good sign for you! I'll be stalking this board to see your update in a couple days. Your discipline with not POASing is amazing - i always think that I can hold out but 2 seconds later i'm all for testing early...lol. FX and good luck! :smile:
  • @thucks I hope the next day goes by so fast! I held out until the day before my 1st beta before POAS, and its possible that I've done it almost every day since then too....possibly. 

    AFM  3rd beta more than doubled!  Now I'm just hanging out until 5/10 for the first ultrasound!  I found out today I get to scale back my patches to every 3 days, keep taking my estrogen pill at night, and that I'll be getting poked in the booty until week 12 with PIO shots....

    **lurking**

    Hey there gals, I did my transfer on the 12th and have been watching the board for a while. 

    My clinic doesn't do multiple betas unless they are worried about the first number. Mine was high (409.6 on 12dp5dt), so now I'm impatiently waiting for an u/s on May 12.

    Thought I'd finally say Hello  :)

    also, I'm wondering if any of you are taking prednisone as part of your regiment?
