Re: *~*~*Spring Chicks Check In*~*~*
Er is today! Et Saturday?
Dh has never been out of town for anything so I can't really say!
GL on your betas today rockpaper, BzeetyD and zfa!
Nothing new... Still 2wwing. I did POAS yesterday with no luck. I've decided I'm not going to again, too depressing and unreliable! I'm holding out until beta on Thursday.
Good morning ladies - can I be added to the list? I haven't posted in a long time and it's good to see some familiar "faces"
I'm in the 2WW...
NantucketSunset--FET#1--ET 4/20, beta 5/3
This is my first FET for this cycle. We transferred 2 3-day embies on 4/20 (1 7 cell and 1 4 or 5 cell) and my beta is scheduled for this Thursday.
QOTW: My guilty pleasure when DH is out of town is watching bad TV

Success is getting up just one more time than you fall down.
Good luck to everyone having betas, ERs, and ETs today.
Nothing too new to report...Im trying to stay relaxed and positive about my beta on Friday...Im trying not to think about symptoms but I have been super crampy these past 2 days...Way way more than with my last IVF.
My guilty pleasure is watching bad TV and sleeping too much!
Update: Beta #2 was this morning. FX for some solid doubling.
QOTW: Watching crappy TV, eating junk food he doesn't like, and sleeping in
Beta#1 (12dp3dt)= 353, Beta#2 (15dp3dt)= 1466, Beta#3 (22dp3dt)= 14,139, First u/s: TWINS!!

I have 16 embryos from Friday's ER. So excited! I will be going on Wednesday for a 5dt.
My husband doesn't really leave town very often. I probably would eat anything he doesn't like and watch shows he doesn't like and have friends over. I'm kind of boring...
Beta Friday. Trying to remain calm but I'm not going to lie - I'm pretty anxious about it.
QOTW: Not cooking and eating cereal for dinner!
We have 13 embryos (as of Saturday). Not getting any updates from the embryologist is killing me. ET is officially Wednesday.
QOTW: I usually eat ice cream and stay up late.
Good luck to all my chickadees!
I go in for my u/s tomorrow. Hope to have a path forward from there.
My guilty pleasure is to watch trashy TV shows and watch chick flicks whenever DH is out.

As for me: expecting the beta call today...not looking good, but I will not be discouraged from overcoming this.

SAIF/PAIF Welcome
Lots of love and luck to my PAIF/3T/IF Veteran ladies, especially my dear friend Zookie. Congrats to Papps, Teach84 and Starbuck on their little ones.
Hey there. Sorry I have been moving and computerless most of this past weekend and cannot bump from my phone.
I got a BFP last Tuesday and my beta on Friday was 82.5. Due to some drama and cramping/spotting I was hesitant to post but thankfully my beta jumped to 352 today! So, I guess I am KU! In shock doesn't begin to describe it. lol First u/s is next Monday.
QOTW: DH doesn't go out of town much, but when he does I watch trash TV, eat junk food and have some "me time" with a bottle of wine.
TTC since March/April 2010
DX: MFI - less than 1 million sperm, 26% motility
DH put on anastrozole to increase counts
June/July 2011 100 mg Clomid + TS IUI#1 & IUI 2 - BFN :-(
Forced break due to DH getting spinal surgery in August 2011
IVF - January 2012: BFN
FET in April 2012 - BFP at 6dp5dt! Beta #1 at 9dp5dt: 82.5, Beta #2 at 12dp5dt: 352 Beta #3 at 19dp5dt: 6000, saw heartbeat and one little bean at 5W6D!
After nearly 3 years of waiting our LO was born December 18th 2012!
Hey Chickies! Glad to hear everyone is hanging in there. Hopefully some of those negative HPTs will yield nice beta surprises...
I'm just waiting for u/s #1. It was originally Thursday, but my grandpa passed away this morning, so I'm off to San Diego for the rest of the week. Ultrasound will now be next week on Tuesday. Things continue to be completely uneventful for me (knock on wood). I'm not used to this. It feels like the calm before the storm.
I'm not going to do another check in this week, since I'll be hanging out with the family, but if someone else wants to take charge and check in on everyone, please do!
TTC #1 since 2009 with unexplained infertility
IUI#1-4 Jan.-Apr. 2011 = BFNs
IVF#1 Aug. 2011 = c/p, FET #1 Nov. 2011 = c/p, FET #2 April 2012 = BFP!

April IVF Spring Chicks
I had my first beta today....at 380!! Hoping things continue to go well Thanks to everyone for all the thoughts!
Good luck to everyone with ERs, ETs, and betas coming up. Hugs to everyone else!
tst - I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather.
It really seems like the month is wrapping up - which I guess is appropriate since it's April 30. I hope everyone has good news at appointments this week.
I am feeling much better about things this week. No more tears. I actually realized today at work how nice it is not to be in the midst of the stress I felt during the IVF cycle. Puppy arrives on Saturday so that is going to be a big diversion between now and August anyways.
QOTW: I'm not sure it should be a guilty pleasure - but I enjoy having control of the tv remote...and not having the tv on all night.
Beta #1 - 127
Beta #2 - 301
Beta #3 May 7- Fx for a number well into the 1000's
DH has never been out of town - but when i get the house to my self on Saturdays its cheesy tv time for me!
Me and DH - 26years old; IF DX: PCOS, Hypothyroid/Hashimotos(me)
IVF #1 April 2012- 15 ER (4/13), 13 Fertilized, 1 transfered (4/16), 3 frozen
