@kmoore6886 I would say that's not even that faint! Clear as day to me. FX for some good progression when you POAS again, or just a great Beta if you hold out Every test is different, and
@hoping10 Yay for progression on your follow up POAS! Hopefully now you can take a big deep breath and feel a little relief before Beta.
@momma6angels11 that makes me feel reassured that it was that visible to you all. I didn't test this morning but I'm going to tomorrow and hopefully it is darker. You ladies are so wonderful and I love having all of the support. I am so glad I joined this forum! ☺
I know there are a handful who haven't yet had an u/s, but so far there are no multiples, right? Somebody has to end up with some twins! (Just glad it's not me, haha!)
@hbomb513 did you have a good appointment this week?
@JESSABER0414 I have not had to have the Rh shot, but some folks are talking about it on the January BMB. Doesn't sound like too big of a deal, especially after so many of us are on all kinds of other injections. Hope it goes easily for you! Did you have another u/s this week?
@caseyw8784 I know you're excited about tomorrow's appointment! Can't wait to hear how it goes!
So excited for the board. It's been a good month overall!

Dang this board has been busy! Congrats to all who have gotten BFPs, turns out May was a lucky month!
I had my first ultrasound on Tuesday, and we heard (and saw) one beyond amazing heartbeat!! Most beautiful thing I've ever seen/heard. Technically, there are two gestational sacs, but we could only find one yolk/heartbeat. RE said little one MAY be a late bloomer, but most likely this is a singleton pregnancy. It's funny, I've been so scared of carrying twins, but now I'm really rooting for my little one! We'll know for sure next week (weekly U/S for the next four weeks). In the meantime I'm taking extra folate and B vitamins to help it along, just in case. I'm just so so grateful there's one in there, and I can't wait to see him/her next week!
Side note, we're thinking of not finding out the gender. So much of the mystery has been taken out of this process for us, we might want this surprise! I'm not big on pink/blue stuff anyway..what do ya'll think? Anyone else?

@hbomb513 I am so glad everything is going great with your pregnancy! I am sure is was amazing hearing the heartbeat! I am rooting for your 2nd little one too!
@hbomb513 I love the idea!!! I have considered it unless there are twins! I think I need to be more prepared I'm totally a control freak - IVF was hard enough but I too feel - We have lost a lot of the excitement and "normalcy" of what I see in pregnancies around me! I'd love to be surprised
hbomb513 i was actually just thinking we haven't seen your name so glad to hear things are going well! Were they able to measure the other things for the other sac? Hope you're feeling great and have continued success!! As for the gender I feel exactly the same way as you did however (TW) it was after my MC that I wanted to know the gender. IF things didn't turn out the way they did I don't think I would've found out the gender right away. Not sure I wouldve been able to hold out the whole 9 months, but I wouldve tried to for a while anyway
whitebarley hows you're fighter Alice doing? Did I miss an update?

@kmoore6886 At least it's definitely darker since last time. Also maybe it implanted a little late which would explain why the line isn't darker on day 9..
Yes I had blood test this AM- waiting on call (they usually call between 3:30-5:30). More torturous waiting..

@kmoore6886 its ONLY day 9 - I think thats a GREAT line!! People usually are suppose to test after a missed period and they are farther along by then its because we know from day one. Try to relax its a pretty dark line! Are ur opk test super dark? I just know for me all my my tests come back on the lighter side.
@hoping10 come on already really!! the beta numbers should be the first phone calls!!

We got to see our TWO little gummy bears this morning! Both babies were measuring 6 weeks 6 days (2 days off of EDD) and both heart rates were about 136. My RE released me (bittersweet!) to my OBGYN, so I need to make an appointment with her now...
@Hopeful_mom I know it is only day 9, I guess I am comparing this FET to my last one. I used clearblue easy tests last time and it was darker on day 9, but I realize tests are different and so are pregnancies. I'm just scared and paranoid, I'm really trying not to be though.
Wow @caseyw8784 what a beautiful sight! Congrats!!! i finally got my 3rd beta back and it's 1242. I feel like I can finally breathe and enjoy being pregnant. Next step is the six week ultrasound but hopefully I can remain a little calmer until then. Thank you so much ladies, you've been beyond awesome!!!
@caseyw8784 im so happy for you!! Love to see twins!! @lynn2003 wow that was a good jump! When is your ultrasound? @Hoping10 im sitting here thinking...i hope they dont make me wait this long when its my turn to get my beta..im going nuts just waiting to see yours!! Lol..
@Hoping10the last two betas I had to call them. I don't have much patience anyway so that made me crazy the longer it got to closing time. Fingers crossed for you.
Omg guys..my beta is 165!! I can't believe it!! I go back Monday for second beta. My progesterone levels are a little lower than they want them to be (16.9 and they want them closer to 20) so they're bumping me to 2ml PIO (split into 2 injections, one on each side). As if my butt isn't sore enough as is but I don't even care!

@lynn2003 I totally get the holding your breath. It's one hurdle after another, for sure. Congrats, that's a solid number!
@JESSABER0414 Yay! So glad the clot isn't causing anymore trouble. Nothing's gonna bother that little bean - way to go, baby! Happy for you to be reassured.
@kmoore6886 like you said, every pregnancy is different. Only comparison to make is your tests to each other. And even then, don't take too seriously. I had darker lines at night a couple times while I was still testing and it made me think the next morning's test meant something was wrong. Don't psych yourself out too much! Today you're pregnant!!
