    laurengon82  so hoping you don't have to do another round! At my age I have to transfer 2 at a time (providing I have 2 left), but they should absolutely discuss this sort of thing ahead of a cycle. If you have to do another, make sure they know not to do it again!

    Funny how life works..that's how I found out 12 years ago I had issues so when it was baby making time I went straight for help. Just sucks knowing in advance it took me three doctors for someone to listen to me! I hope they got the two kids they wanted from my embryos :)

    @mcgeeva Congrats!! great number!! My clinic is the same, 3 betas before the US.
    AFM - I am really struggling with insomnia zzzzz I fall asleep the second I rest my head but around 2 or 3 am  boom! up and 100% awake for at least a couple of hours.  And my dreams are sooo vivid, I guess now I remember my dreams bc I am up in the middle of the night...but still weird how real my dreams are -last night I was doing splits in my living room with Adam Levine and I could feel my muscles stretching...so bendy B)  Whatever causes this I really hope is gone soon!!  Tomorrow I will mention it to the nurse, maybe I can take something.

    @mcgeeva Great beta!!!! My old clinic did 3 betas prior to u/s but my current clinic only does two. Once hcg gets over about 1200 its doubling time slows, so just don't be alarmed if your numbers on Monday aren't quadruple today's number! I'm sure your numbers will be stellar though given how they've been so far :) How have you been feeling?

    @mama2b1974 magnesium is safe to take during pregnancy (up to 350 mg I believe). I take a 150 mg magnesium capsule before bed and it definitely helps me sleep.

    @mcgeeva yup, had blood drawn but did it at an outside lab again so results probably won't be posted until tomorrow morning. 

    *TW* Symptom talk in spoiler
    I've been feeling OK other than really anxious. My boobs have been getting more swollen and sore the last couple of days.  I'm feeling some increased cramping/aching today which has my back up. Kind of like heaviness but kind of like pressure too. I can even feel it in my butt (lol), just like before AF comes (not like cramping you have while on AF necessarily,  but that achy, heavy feeling you get right as she's going to show up). I really need this beta to come back OK so that I can force myself to join either PAIF or my BMB so that I can ask everyone obnoxious questions about the normalcy of my symptoms :/ I'm driving myself nuts.

    mcgeeva  That's so awesome!! My last clinic was the same.. 3 betas. My current clinic, not so much!
    mama2b1974  the same for me, and this has happened in my other (tw) pg's... I googled it and early pg insomnia is pretty normal. I usually just get up, go to the couch and watch something till I fall asleep again (if possible). No point fighting it.
    tosh24  all your symptoms seem normal! I totally understand needing to see that beta... will you get it today, or will it be next day like your first one??

    @ndz2018 Good job on the first PIO shot!  You’re getting so close!

    @tosh24 Ooh, I should check on the magnesium max - I take it every night (I used to get cramps in ballet and spin class) but I think I’ve been taking 400mg...

    @dragonette505 Fear of not sleeping the night before transfer is why I took half a Valium (5mg) before I went to bed that night :p 

    As far as symptoms, my only one still seems to be...not bleeding (but it’s a good one!).  I may be starting to feel a little more of the stupid tired, but not quite in full effect just yet.
