@JESSABER0414- what a relief to hear the heartbeat! Hoping that in a weeks time they'll be able know a lot more about the source of the bleed. FX that it absorbs! @Angelaag- Woohoo, pregnant is pregnant... and that you are, lady! Congrats! When it's a beta day, Monday can't get here fast enough @krenee124- That's awesome! Congratulations! I think our ET's were on the same day (5/24), and my nurse said today is 4w, which looks to be the same calculation as the calculator @fivetimesnoluck uses.
AFM- Beta today was 302 Repeating on Sunday and praying for a strong rise (for ALL of us).
Yes @momurph & @fivetimesnoluck thank you!!! Nurse called and said 4 weeks! Congrats ladies! @momurph I DO (edited) have another beta Monday & u/s on 6/22! This is surreal!
There are so many BFPs, how exciting! Did any of you ladies have implantation symptoms? I am feeling something every once in a while, it is milder than a cramp. Also I read that your temperature is elevated when implantation occurs, so I took my temperature and it is 99.1. The TWW is so nerve racking! I don't know if the temperature rise is due to implantation or the hormones I am taking. Any thoughts?
@JESSABER0414 I'm a lil behind so glad to see you're lil bean is doing ok - hoping things will resolve itself on its own! thinking of u!!
fivetimesnoluck so exciting! funny that the time feels like it flew for u and for me i feel like its taking forever! when ur next us?
lynn2003 i'm still routing for you sorry you have to wait through the weekend, hopefully you'll have great numbers waiting for u! Angelaag u too, big congrats!! looking forward to your next beta ladies, only good things to come!
kris031409 glad you're doing well! soon you'll be graduating to your ob yay!!
krenee124 wow great beta congrats!! are u having another beta!! Hope everything keeps going smoothly for u!

Ditto on the light cramping prior to BFP! My cramping was pretty faint, but it's still around intermittently, along w/back ache (thanks, progesterone!).
as for implantation symptoms - I had spotting on day 4,5, none on 6 or 7 and then tested positive on 7. I am spotting again today (9) but nurse still continues to say this is okay! I had light twinges here and there Day 4-7, some back aches since FET, and smell aversions kicked in quick!
Thanks! @krenee124 & @momma6angels11 My Beta #2 today: 726! I don't think my mind is 100% processing all of this wonderful news! Feels totally surreal to me
momurph thats fantastic congrats!! do u have a 3rd beta or wait for US?

@momma6angels11 Thx! I sure hope so. It seems so far away! Part of me wishes there was a 3rd beta to give me some more peace of mind/buy more time towards US, but if there was, I'd probably still want a 4th, 5th, 6th Beta and so on and so on... it would never be enough So, I'm going to try my best to stay present and positive. Thank goodness you're all here! XO
@momurph wow!! Great numbers!!! congratulations! I feel the same way - I'm slightly shocked still! Had my first bout of "queasiness" today. Only lasted about 30-45 mins. Or maybe it has DH's driving but hoping we will start having other symptoms between our betas and u/s. I am going to a different lab tomorrow for my 2nd so praying they have quick results too!
@kmoore6886 Last FET I didn't POAS at all because I was so tired of never seeing a positive HPT- I figured just wait for beta, but I was caught so off guard when it was negative. I'm debating POAS this time around even if to just prepare myself more. I don't know but I hear you on the waiting being torture!!
Me: 31 DH: 34 Ttc since 11/15 Unexplained infertility
IUI #1: 11/16. Clomid and ovidrel BFN IUI #2: 12/16. Clomid and ovidrel BFN IUI #3: 1/17. Letrazole and ovidrel BFN
@Hoping10 the wait really is torture! I test at home because I need to mentally prepare myself. I want to know when I'm alone just in case it is negative; I would take it harder if I wasn't mentally prepared.
Me: 36 DH: 34 TTC our first together since Aug 2015 MC 4/2016 and 8/2016 IUI #1-3 with Clomid - BFNs IUI #4-6 with Follistim - BFNs IVF March, (6R, 5M, 4F, 2 sent for PGS, 1 normal girl) FET May 1st, Beta #1-73, Beta #2-150, Beta #3-708
2nd beta today! Just gave my sample, so I've started the 4 hour wait! I POAS on Saturday (9dp) and it was significantly darker than 7dp so I'm feeling confident for rising numbers!
Good luck today, ladies! Looking forward to hearing your good news later, @Angelaag and @krenee124!
And congrats on a great second beta, @momurph - I know what you mean by wishing for a third, but hopefully, the next two weeks will pass swiftly and you'll get a good look at the babe before you know it! (We've been at this for the same amount of time. I am so praying that this is it for us both!)

@lynn2003 Hoping for the best on your beta today! I know you felt out, but it's all about the rise!
@JESSABER0414 Did you have any more trouble over the weekend? You've been on my mind - hoping that the bleed/bruise absorbs and it's a non-issue moving forward!

219! One more beta in a week then RE will schedule ultrasound. It's such a strange feeling waiting for each stage in the early days. Trying to balance an appropriate level of excitement and worry is the best way for me to describe it.
@Angelaag congrats nice beta!! Its an emotional roller coaster and I dont think the worry ever ends!! Each step is another hurdle i've been learning...now onto the next beta! When is that?
