@hbamama. I read that >1200 hcg for HB ultrasound... So with yours numbers and doubling you should be good! We are on the exact same schedule I'm just a day ahead ;;)
@Knottie24173360 I hope it doesn't get too bad for you! My friend has IVF twins and had zero morning sickness or any pregnancy symptoms her whole pregnancy! My other friend now pregnant with IVF twins has had nausea since her 2ww!
I have been enjoying it but I can be honest with you guys.... I have had some on and off food aversion that I was told is actually Morning sickness in some cases... So I have stuck with eating what the kiddos want and I have been fine...ish

They Might be able to hear something!! It will be a starting heartbeat they start at 80ish bpm.... I am a major nerd and I read anything lol I have been reading med journals about all things involving fetal development......
At about 5 weeks gestation, your baby's heart begins to beat. At this point, a normal fetal heart rate is about the same heart rate as the mother's: about 80-85 beats per minute (BPM). From this point, it will increase its rate about 3 beats per minute per day during that first month.

Been lurking here checking on how you're all doing! So nice to see so many positives!!! Congrats to all of you! And seriously, way to give support to each other! It's such a nice thing to see
Oh yea, my progesterone was at 28 for my first two betas then 24 this week... They said it was still fine though..I wish it was higher but I trust them.... Anyways, other ladies don't freak out if you don't have crazy awesome >40 like @HBamama2B! @Knottie24173360 how was your P4? I'm just uselessly analyzing if we could have twins or not!! Somebody stop me....
@Mclorn I have not asked what my P4 #'s have been honestly.... My RE staff is so hands on with patients that if my #'s were not in a great range they would call immediately... We have the super cool PORTAL were we can secure message our DR or IVF nurses and they answer or call us within minutes....

@mclorn I think anything over 20 is great right? They don't even tell me my number, just that it's greater than 40 which I find irritating, but yes, ladies, don't be intimidated!
@Knottie24173360 oooh!! If you have links, please post them! I'd love to read about fetal development and the regular books don't cut it. Constantly comparing its size to food.... Who started that?? And the wheel app sounds great!!
@LCK0830 seriously the wait is worse than hearing bad news! But you got this! I kept doing deep breathing exercises my beta day... In through the nose out through the mouth...think positive!!!! Fx!!
@mclorn lol. I told DH that I am almost as excited for your us on Wednesday as I am for mine on Thursday! He have me such a face. I just can't wait to hear the results.
@LCK0830 I was most nervous the day before and the day of I was worthless at work. It's definitely a stressful moment and the culmination of some very challenging and intense weeks. We are here for you keeping our everything crossed for your BFP. I'm praying for you to have your family! GL and I hope time flies!
So my (not literal) worst fears were realized last night during the PIO inject. DH was gently leaning over my red and frozen turkey of a derrier and as soon as he started to put the needle in I could feel it building. I tried to stem it, but the PIO goes in so slow! I knew I couldn't clench! I had been afraid of this and warned him of the impending doom from the first PIO night thanks to the warnings of another afflicted IFer, but still, all was lost....
There was nothing I could do but pray and spray. Gently poofing, as he studiously checked the syringe for blood and counted me down on the meds. It was passive and he didn't notice, but my post-poot self filled with deep shame and I confessed, laughing through my tears and apology and knowing all the while that it won't be the last time as we get through these next ever-gassier five weeks. *sigh* ">
@khochanadel I think it may actually have been your story that made me afraid and warn my husband that it could happen. Lol. Tonight for some reason it bled a ton when he pulled the needle out. I said at least I didn't fart on you and he said he would have preferred that to seeing so much blood. Men! Lol.
So I went for my US today... It was good! But I realized where my frustration stems from.
At my office, we have a bunch of random US tech's that come in on the days the doctor isn't there. Well today.... she said, "you were delayed last month" my response, "yes, I had 4 cysts" Her response, "oh, your chart only says 2"
So last month when my doctor, straight from his mouth, said FOUR, he only wrote down 2 that I guess were important or big enough to be documented.
In the same session last month, he told me over and over how "since I've started at their office, there's no documentation of cysts in my chart" Meanwhile, I know for a FACT that I've had them. I even had one rupture (SO PAINFUL) and that wasn't documented. I get that some aren't important and that it doesn't effect the outcome, but I feel that ALL should be documented- aeast just to show that it keeps happening and it's causing problems (like IVF delays) Ugh!
Well today, the girl stuck that stupid wand in and out so damn fast, she barely looked. No joke- 2 seconds in and out! My doctor spends forever down there, searching for things. Looking to make sure all is okay. Soooo, while today was good a good day that there were no cysts (according to speedy!)- I'm nervous that on Friday I will go back and my doctor will still find them.
Either way- starting Estrace again tonight. I sadly can't get excited yet though. I'm nervous that she wasn't thorough enough.
We shall see....

@Colleen0516 that is maddening! Everything should be documented, no matter how minor it seems! Such a pet peeve of mine. I work in an ENT office and am baffled at how little the staff documents. Pisses me off! At least you are beginning the next step and I hope Friday brings better results and peace of mind!!
@Joyzie77 chin up!! Still time to turn things around to a positive!!!!
@Colleen0516 ... Don't be afraid to tell them when you think something isn't right. I would be completely frustrated. I'm sorry you experienced that. You might want to mention something next time you don't think it's right. We had this new nurse tell me she didn't know the answer to a question that I asked. I don't care if you are new or not. These things are part of your job and if I'm asking the question I'm sure someone else will ask. It's so frustrating because you feel like you are at their mercy but.... It's a stressful thing to go through... I've learned that in order to get answers sometimes you have to be grumpy.... In a nice way of course. I hope the rest goes smoother for you.
Seems like I've been gone forever... had an extremely bust weekend! Drinking this Raspberry leaf tea every day trying to speed up getting AF! Good luck to everyone with Betas coming up!!
