@teenad82 - I didn't have symptoms with my successful FET so I think it's silly to think I might this time, however, I can't help but do it.
I don't feel feverish or have chills, but I'm still registering around 99.4 - 99.6. But on the positive side, I've dropped about 4.5 lbs in the last two weeks. Still 5 days to wait 😬

I only have until Wednesday so I might just hold out but we’ll see! On another note I’m still in constant pain after the pio shot. I’m going to go see my nurse tomorrow to make sure everything is ok....
@ndz2018 Ha!! He's lucky he didn't lose an arm!!! @firstivfoct2018 I know what you mean about being afraid to test. Sometimes I think there are 2 kinds of people in the TWW - those who want to start testing immediately (and constantly) and those that are happy to be PUPO - there's no right way of handling this so I say just do whatever is comfortable for you As you say - only 2 days left to wait!

so I saw the nurse today and it turns out I’m having an allergic reaction to the sesame oil that’s why the I’ve been in so much pain. So they’re going to order me the olive oil suspension which hopefully I will be using for another month!
@firstivfoct2018 - Oh no! I had a bad reaction, too, but mine was more welt-y and hive-y around the injection sites.
I didn't know there was an olive oil suspension! I'm using ethyl oleate, which is $85/vial instead of sesame's $10. Wonder if olive is more comparable in price. I'll look into it if/when I get my positive beta on Friday.

Oh snap @firstivfoct2018! So glad they figured that out and that you'll get some relief soon. So sorry.
@MamaK225 How are you feeling post FET? We pay $50/vial of sesame oil. I wish it were $10. I wonder if your pharmacy will fill an out of state prescription. Lol

@suzycupcake - I use Mandell's pharmacy (located in NJ, but I'm in SC). I do have the medical diagnosis of PCOS, so I'm not sure if it's kind of loosely associated with that diagnosis, so they have to cover. I know it worked that way with my Prometrium suppositories and Estradiol tablets. Because my plan doesn't cover sh@t.
@teenad82 - Yay!!!!! Another fabulous beta. So pumped that this group is having great success. Are you having any other symptoms or just continued clear sailing?
@ndz2018 - You are totally rocking it ... Dec 14th will be here before you know it!

@teenad82 congrats! Your doc had you wait for 12 days!! Wow that is a long wait haha but at least it's positive results. When do you get your next test done?
OMG so many positives in this group, it’s awesome. I really hope some of this baby dust lands on me too! I find out tomorrow. A positive would make all this pain so worth it!

Hoping this luck continues, too, @roisis and @firstivfoct2018 (have you found out yet)? I still have TWO more days until my Beta. Either this PUPO period is making me insane or going 3-weeks without alcohol has awakened my taste buds, but I had a problem trying to eat the pickle with my French dip last night and couldn't stand ketchup on the errant fry (or 5) I stole from DH's plate. I want answers, but I'm still terrified to POAS. If it's positive, it could be a false positive or be a CP - and if it's negative, it could still be too early and/or it'll make the 4-6 hr roundtrip on Friday for my Beta even more excruciating. So I just don't trust it. "Just gotta make it through 2 more sleeps ..."
Do we have any other 2nd Betas to report? Or U/S or heartbeats? I'm loving all the positivity that's brewing in this group. You're giving me hope!

@mamak225 He was a grade I A+ expanded blast. We did do PGS, yes. He is an XYY. Apparently my clinic uses vitrification so he was warmed.

@suzycupcake - Exciting! We opted out of PGS, so only had visual grading to go by. We transferred two (because of the recurrent failures and I've since moved into the "geriatric" category) and they were both 6BBs (partially self-hatched) - and the final ones from our 2015 round of IVF. It's kind of cool to already know you're going to have a boy. I can't remember the name of the process my clinic uses. You'd think I'd know by now. LOL.

Ooo @MamaK225 - food aversions are 'interesting' Personally I trust the hpts - but only after at least 9 days. I'm not sure if I mentioned this but betas are actually optional at my clinic (they didn't even do them before this year) - and they'll only do them after 12dp5dt. So if I get a negative I've already decided not to go in. But I can understand waiting to get the official result too. Best of luck - only one more sleep now!!!!

@suzycupcake - Yeah, they were both partially self-hatched and none of the others were, so I went down a rabbit-hole of research and apparently that's supposed to be really helpful in getting those suckers to implant! One more day and we'll know.
@secret-snowdog - OMG, so exciting! If memory serves me, you should be able to hear a heartbeat at that point (since they'll be doing a vaginal U/S, not doppler - doppler is closer to 10 weeks).
@teenad82 - That's an awesome number! Hopefully, you'll continue through without any symptoms. I didn't have any with my success and was thankful, given I had friends who had a horrific go at it. Honestly, I think all the hormones/meds they have us on readies our bodies a little earlier so we don't have the big swings that others do.
@roisis - My clinic does betas on day 9 (and I have to leave my house by 5a for my 4+ hr roundtrip or else I hit horrific traffic and/or can't make it to work) ... so another reason why I just don't do a HPT. I have done one before I left on the trip, but I think it better to be surprised - either way, it delays the overly high or low emotions so that I can get space to process it all.
AFM, just one more sleep ... and I'm counting down the minutes. Thankfully, the clinic closes at noon so Friday betas always come back a lot earlier (my last one, I didn't receive until almost 2p!) so I'm happy for that. Continued FX and prayers and superstitions - I haven't shaved my legs since I started my Estrace on Nov 5th ... my own version of no-shave November - for another 24 hours or so. Though, TBH, even when/if I get a positive, I'll keep going until I get that second beta. Heck ... at this point, maybe until the heartbeat I do have to say, you ladies have given me so much hope. Given my horrible run over the last 18 months, I was just kind of going through the motions and you've really lifted my spirits and regardless of what tomorrow brings, I am very, very thankful for you and your support. Hope you guys have a wonderful day!

People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

Good luck tomorrow @MamaK225! And roosis and suzy hoping to hear good news for you guys soon!
i have my second beta tomorrow so fingers crossed for me too. Plus my doctor pain at my injection site might be an infection so I’m on antibiotics- kind of crazy, and I hope it doesn’t affect the pregnancy. I’m also on 3x a day suppositories plus the pio every other night. So hopefully this situation will resolve now.
@MamaK225 and @suzycupcake wishing you guys much success @teenad82 nice# @firstivfoct2018 welcome to the club! Cant wait to hear the great 2nd beta results. Everybody produces HCG differently so dont feel bad about your level. @murph145 The wait is torture. I now have US every week and seems like forever. I dont know what I will do when I transfer to my obgyn. @ndz2018 how is everything going?
Btw- thanks for all of the congrats responses on my 2nd US. I was trying to post pic but for some reason it didn't upload using this dang phone.
Re: Nov 2018 FET

@firstivfoct2018 I know what you mean about being afraid to test. Sometimes I think there are 2 kinds of people in the TWW - those who want to start testing immediately (and constantly) and those that are happy to be PUPO - there's no right way of handling this so I say just do whatever is comfortable for you

@ndz2018 congrats so exciting!
so I saw the nurse today and it turns out I’m having an allergic reaction to the sesame oil that’s why the I’ve been in so much pain. So they’re going to order me the olive oil suspension which hopefully I will be using for another month!
I didn't know there was an olive oil suspension! I'm using ethyl oleate, which is $85/vial instead of sesame's $10. Wonder if olive is more comparable in price. I'll look into it if/when I get my positive beta on Friday.

@MamaK225 How are you feeling post FET? We pay $50/vial of sesame oil. I wish it were $10. I wonder if your pharmacy will fill an out of state prescription. Lol

@suzycupcake - Yeah, they were both partially self-hatched and none of the others were, so I went down a rabbit-hole of research and apparently that's supposed to be really helpful in getting those suckers to implant! One more day and we'll know.
@secret-snowdog - OMG, so exciting! If memory serves me, you should be able to hear a heartbeat at that point (since they'll be doing a vaginal U/S, not doppler - doppler is closer to 10 weeks).
@teenad82 - That's an awesome number! Hopefully, you'll continue through without any symptoms. I didn't have any with my success and was thankful, given I had friends who had a horrific go at it. Honestly, I think all the hormones/meds they have us on readies our bodies a little earlier so we don't have the big swings that others do.
@roisis - My clinic does betas on day 9 (and I have to leave my house by 5a for my 4+ hr roundtrip or else I hit horrific traffic and/or can't make it to work) ... so another reason why I just don't do a HPT. I have done one before I left on the trip, but I think it better to be surprised - either way, it delays the overly high or low emotions so that I can get space to process it all.
AFM, just one more sleep ... and I'm counting down the minutes. Thankfully, the clinic closes at noon so Friday betas always come back a lot earlier (my last one, I didn't receive until almost 2p!) so I'm happy for that. Continued FX and prayers and superstitions - I haven't shaved my legs since I started my Estrace on Nov 5th ... my own version of no-shave November

i have my second beta tomorrow so fingers crossed for me too. Plus my doctor pain at my injection site might be an infection so I’m on antibiotics- kind of crazy, and I hope it doesn’t affect the pregnancy. I’m also on 3x a day suppositories plus the pio every other night. So hopefully this situation will resolve now.
@teenad82 nice#
@firstivfoct2018 welcome to the club! Cant wait to hear the great 2nd beta results. Everybody produces HCG differently so dont feel bad about your level.
@murph145 The wait is torture. I now have US every week and seems like forever. I dont know what I will do when I transfer to my obgyn.
@ndz2018 how is everything going?
Btw- thanks for all of the congrats responses on my 2nd US. I was trying to post pic but for some reason it didn't upload using this dang phone.
