in Infertility
12dp5dt is 621!!!! Up from 192 on 9dp5dt. 
I'm having a ton of pain from my last couple of PIO shots. Anyone else have this? My nurse thinks it could be siatic pain, but maybe too much time in the car. I am SO ready to be done with PIO. Otherwise, feeling good and trying to be positive.
I'm so sorry that I haven't been around over the past few days. I've been in and out of town along with all of this and haven't been doing a great job keeping up with TB. Good luck to all the ERs, ETs, and Betas coming up in the next few days!!!!

Fantastic news about the beta numbers!
PIO has been rough on me this cycle, too. It's the worst. How long do they expect you to be on it? Have they said?
YAY!! Great numbers!
I am having the worst time with PIO this week too! The first 2 weeks weren't so bad, but now I'm kinda out of places to go that I haven't visited before. I have one big knot, and a lot of pain from last night's injection. I put a heating pad on my back and laid on my stomach for a while and it really did help a TON. I'm much more comfortable today!
Hope that helps!
