It's so hard. I'm so far ahead of myself, it doesn't even make sense. I think a lot about the due date and what our year is going to look like, and I tell myself to just "slow down", but I'm deep down so, so hopeful. It's terrifying!!!

hey ladies I just wanted to let you know I am pregnant! I just got the message from my RE on my voicemail. They did not state what my beta was though. I will go back Monday to make sure it is doubling. I am so so happy because this is the first time I have ever been pregnant but so scared because I know that its so early and anything can happen. I am hoping everything continues to move forward. I will keep you all posted!
FET went well yesterday. Our embryo was originally graded 5AA, but ended up hatching on her own when they thawed her out, so the upgraded her to 6AA before implantation. My last FET was a 6AA so I didn't even know they could change grading like that. I guess it makes sense, because they are live and active once thawed, but I never really thought about it.
Here's our little one.... she's busy getting comfy and settling in for a long stay

@PNW12RN Aw congrats on a great looking embryo! Sending sticky vibes!
Had my beta drawn and about to puke from nerves. Not feeling confident at the moment, but we’ll see I guess. Intermittent “symptoms” are messing with my head.
@ashleymarie512 congrats girl !!! Great beta !!! I got a little worried I had brownish light pinkish on the toilet paper this morning ! I was so nervous my clinic said spotting is very common with FET as long as it’s not red and heavy or accompanied by severe cramping . Fingers crossed for great F/U betas ! When do you go back ?
@PNW12RN that is a beautiful little embryo ! Fingers crossed !
@msd1001 I go back on Monday morning. The only part that sucks is I’ll have to get the call at work. I have a client coming in at 11 and 1, so hoping they call outside of those hours!
FWIW, I had some spotting with my last FET too, but they said the same thing about not to worry “except for red and cramping”.
Awesome to see all the good news from the most recent betas. We had a BFN. For those who are still in, I wish you the best of luck and lots of big numbers.

@funkykey good luck today! @ashleymarie512 good luck on your beta today! I went to the lab this morning so I am just waiting for the phone call! So nerve wracking and of course I am at work which is the worst when you are waiting for a call that could be either really good or really bad.
Whoa! Got the call before lunch that my hcg jumped to 2077, which is a doubling time of less than 24hrs! I’m shocked, but excited. Ultrasound is on 3/6.
@ashleymarie512 she didn't give me the value but it will be in my patient portal. I will post it later but on an amazing note she said it more than doubled and then some! It was originally 120 and I am so curious to see what it is now! My IVF RN is thrilled and scheduled me for an ultrasound 3/8! Did you transfer 1 or 2 ? I cannot remember.
@msd1001 We only transferred one bc I’m high risk from developing severe pre-e/HELLP with my DD at 28-29 weeks. My friend is joking that it split and I’m now very impatiently waiting for 3/6 for my ultrasound.
How many did you transfer? Yay! It’s so nice when the nurses are happy with results. Mine said it increased “beautifully”....uhh yeah I’ll say lol
@KathrynShustek Good luck with your transfer on Friday! I may be the last one of the month...transferring on 2/28. I almost think I should be on the March board

This has been such a stressful week. (***possible trigger warning***)
Had our FET on Thursday, then my 9 month old daughter started coughing a really wet cough on Friday, which lasted all through the weekend. I have very little sick/vacation time because I used it all up on my maternity leave last year, so my husband is the one who stays home with the baby when she's sick. I am an RN. I am the mom. I should be the one at home, but that just isn't an option right now.
I made my husband take her in for an appointment Tuesday morning, and she was diagnosed with RSV. She sounds terrible and icky and even though I know she's OK/will be fine it is stressful that she's not eating/sleeping and sounds so awful when she breathes. I'm supposed to be relaxing and thinking sticky embryo thoughts and all I can do is stress out about the little one I already have.
I did cheat and POAS way early yesterday, and got a visible second line, which was awesome (beta is coming up on Sunday), but I know that's far from official and could be a chemical pregnancy, etc.
Hoping my lines continue to get darker and we get a great beta number, but also hoping for clear breathing and an end of fevers for my little one. The timing for all of this could really not be worse =(

It is really hard not to get your hopes up!
@PNW12RN yes my clinic suggest stool softeners because pregnancy festering can cause constipation. Good of luck on your transfer !
@funkykey what a great Valentine’s Day gift PIO! Haha infertility sucks !

This has been such a stressful week. (***possible trigger warning***)
Had our FET on Thursday, then my 9 month old daughter started coughing a really wet cough on Friday, which lasted all through the weekend. I have very little sick/vacation time because I used it all up on my maternity leave last year, so my husband is the one who stays home with the baby when she's sick. I am an RN. I am the mom. I should be the one at home, but that just isn't an option right now.
I made my husband take her in for an appointment Tuesday morning, and she was diagnosed with RSV. She sounds terrible and icky and even though I know she's OK/will be fine it is stressful that she's not eating/sleeping and sounds so awful when she breathes. I'm supposed to be relaxing and thinking sticky embryo thoughts and all I can do is stress out about the little one I already have.
I did cheat and POAS way early yesterday, and got a visible second line, which was awesome (beta is coming up on Sunday), but I know that's far from official and could be a chemical pregnancy, etc.
Hoping my lines continue to get darker and we get a great beta number, but also hoping for clear breathing and an end of fevers for my little one. The timing for all of this could really not be worse =(
Chemo killed my ovaries (along with a BRCA1 mutation, which causes DOR)
4/30/13 ER just prior to chemo: 8 embryos frozen at 2pn. 2 survived to blasts/1 PGS normal
4/16 ER cancelled on CD7: 1 follicle on L/ 0 follicles on R
FET #1 7/13/16 BFN
Super shocker +HPT 9/19
Baby Alyce arrived 5/8/17
