Beta #1 (Upated w/ #2!)

edited November 2013 in Secondary IF
I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. It's ridiculously cold here (NJ), so I'm very glad I opted not to go to the Giants game with MH today.

I got my 1st beta results and.......it is 197! I don't really know what that means (no clue what the norm is), but the nurse seemed happy with it, so I am too! I go for more blood work on Tuesday to make sure my beta is doubling. If you ladies don't mind, I'd like to hang out here for another week or 2. While I feel good about today's results, I'm still so nervous.

    I'm feeling pretty ok. I was sore for a while, but we did retrieval and then transfer 3 days later, so I expected to be sore. Today I'm feeling pretty good, I still get some sharp pinching in my ovaries for time to time. 

    How about you? Any symptoms?! :P

    @freakyfast - yes, my second beta is tomorrow. God willing it doubles appropriately. Then I think they make me wait another 9 agonizing days for my first u/s. All of this waiting sucks! Where are you with your cycle? Am I remembering correctly that your FET isn't too far off?

    @MrsCastillo - The first 3 days after my transfer I was exhausted...like pregnant exhausted and then it went away. I have a little acid reflux from time to time and my boobs feel a little sore, but that's it. I think I'd be considered somewhere around 4 to 4 1/2 weeks, so I guess it's still early. Are you going beta or bust or will test early?

    ally510 yeah kinda close. I am waiting for AF to show again, and then that is when I will be considered FET day 1, but they will also order meds and stuff then, actual transfer won't be until January.  So close, yet so far away. :) 

    Mrs Castillo are you beta or bust?

    @KC1212 - I think it depends on whether a person had a 3 day or 5 day transfer. When you have a 5 day transfer, the embryo has reached the blastocyst phase, so it will implant sooner that a 3 day transfer. Lurking on the IF board, I've seen girls get a BFP 5dp5dt, but I'm not sure if that's common or not. I held out for 6 days and got my BFP. I found this:

    https://www.nyufertilitycenter.org/ivf/embryo_transfer

    And while it doesn't say when you can test, it helps explain what's going on post both 3 and 5 day transfers.

    Sorry to keep you waiting ladies! I've been busily baking brownies for my students tomorrow.

    Beta number 2 is.....497!!! The nurse said my numbers are "appropriately doubling." However, my progesterone level dropped a bit; not so much that it's an issue, but enough that I have to up my PIO shots. Noooo!!!! They are really not so bad going in, but they make muscles super sore the next day. I go back on Tuesday for another beta and an ultrasound. They do not expect to hear a heartbeat yet, but will be looking for the yolk sack...

    Thanks for checking in ladies
