  • Hi @JuliaGoolia719! Welcome and fingers crossed for you.

    I just had my IUI today on cd 17. On Friday I had my ultrasound and I have two big follicles on the left, 24.5 and 28.5mm. Lining was 9. DH's sperm count was 50 million so hopefully it all works out.

    @JuliaGoolia719 Welcome and good luck! 
  • Well just got back from my RE appt. Found out I have a mtfhr mutation to go along with my PCOS and protein S deficiency *ugh*. If that wasn't enough news I also have 3 cyst on my right ovary ranging from 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm. So I may be out this month trying to squeeze in a late April iui because there is no telling what this body of mine is going to do...So now I just wait and hope that next month is better  :)

    You deserve a break! That's so unfair to have to manage all of that. I hope you have some ways to spoil yourself! I love your determination!

  • Congrats @wabash15 & @lindyc13!  I am loving all these April BFP's :) 
  • Congrats @lindyc13!! So excited for you. 

    AFM, I had my IUI done this past Saturday. I woke up super early this morning with cramping. I managed to get back to sleep, but now I woke up and am super nauseous. I'm trying not to read into it too much since I think it is too early to be having symptoms, isn't it? Anyway, it could be a long day at work if I don't start feeling better. 
  •   @wabash15 & @lindyc13 Congratulations! I pleased to see so many positives this month.

    Hopefully they keep coming.

    JuliaGoolia719 I hope that your 8 days flies by.

    JaeJayStark I hope that this is your month.

    baseballhoney Come on good news!

    I go in for my third beta tomorrow morning. Praying everything comes back good. Still peeing on the cheapy sticks about once a day, its a silly thing to do but it sure is reassuring to see the double line pop.

  • 2 dpiui. Soooo slooooow....

    Thanks @stella_700, I hope your 3rd beta is lovely! Do we ever get a break from worry? 

    It's sounding like April is a pretty good month for BFPs!

    For all of you in your TWW, I love this article. Cracks me up because it is so spot on. https://www.babble.com/pregnancy/the-8-stages-of-the-two-week-wait/

    Hi i had fet april 7 did my beta 4/16 i had 360 and i did my second beta today and it was 851 it wasnt quite the 66 it was 57% im kind of worried ? I think untill i get ultrasound ill stop worrying make it more realistic 
  • This may be an incredible stupid question. If my last cycle started March 6 but my FET wasn't until March 31 and *TW* my beta 4/10 was positive. How many weeks does that make me at this point? I'm trying to know what to expect for late next weeks sonogram.
  • I think if I did the math right it would put you at 5wks 3-4 days.... so if your US is the end of next week you should be able to see the HB

  • My FET was 4/10 and my beta is scheduled for 4/24. While being seen at Urgent Care yesterday they did a Serum test which gives just a positive or negative and it was negative. All HPTs have been negative this far as well. My nurse told me to continue shots until my beta as there could still be a chance. Ugh this is so stressful. This is our last shot at IVF. We already have one failed round under our belt. Anyone have any positive stories?
  • @wabash15 Thanks, I felt so silly for asking but other than going in for blood work I haven't actually seen my Dr.
  • @stella_700 its not a silly question!  What I did was count back 5 days from the 31st (assuming you transferred a 5d emby) then counted back 2 weeks from then to make you an "average cd14 O". It seems to fit because a beta on 4/10 would be at ~15dpo....

  • Woke up today totally and utterly convinced this did not work. The main reason is that my b00bs no longer hurt....I don't know why that's my lynchpin but it's going to be a long 2 days till beta...and my b00bs hurt before transfer (thanks PIO shots) so it's not like that would even be a symptom that would show that this was working...I'm driving myself batsh!t (to be fair it was a short road lol)
