@chrisiniv try not to worry. I had spotting at 5 weeks and a few times after. I had some blood in my uterus (A hematoma) that was leaking sometimes. Spotting in pregnancy is scary but common.
@LCK0830 it is high, but I don't think you have anything specific to worry about. It's so great to hear your betas are doubling!!!
@Colleen0516 I agree this group has put up some ridiculously amazing progress. Even the cycles without implantation could be considered successful since they moved forward and outcomes were good. We'll have to see what the rest of October brings, but I have an overwhelming feeling the joy isn't done with its work here yet...
@Joyzie77 way to hang tough lady! We are all rooting for you tomorrow. Hoping you get some great news!

10/7/2015: ER 11 retrieved, 8 mature, 7 fertilized w/ ICSI
10/12/2015: Transferred 5AA and 4AA blasts, froze one 4AA and 4BB
I got my bfn beta on oct. 12th. AF showed up October 15th pm. I went in for baseline oct. 16, was told to start bcp October 18. Started leupron oct. 21st. I'm supposed to stop bcp on the 25th and get a period and go in for another baseline on the 29th. I'm concerned that being on the pill for only 8 days is not enough time to get another period and my baseline numbers will be off. Has anyone else had a similar protocol? I dont want to get pushed another month!!!
Finally got to see our bean this morning. Everything looks great and saw a heartbeat flicker, not enough to measure yet. Baby measured big (a little over 6wks even tho I'm 5+6) still waiting on my beta results but just so over the moon. Thank you so much ladies for your support. I couldn't wait to share the news!
caitiemae I know right, I mean normally I'm begging AF not to come... this time I was begging for her to come. The Irony...

@mclorn Yup, another beta tomorrow. I'm out of town so I'll be getting it done at a Labcorp and I won't get the results until Saturday. Torture! My nurse told me my u/s will be at the end of next week or the beginning of the following week but it hasn't been scheduled yet.
I talked to her about my levels and she said she and my doctor are not concerned at all. So, I'm taking their word for it and stepping away from Google.
@HBamama2B Great photo! Glad all is well!! When do you go back? I was suppose to schedule another u/s 1-2 weeks out but then with scheduling it ended up being 11/6. So far away! And I scheduled my 10 week appt with my regular OB for 11/16!
This group makes me happy... keeps me positive and hopeful. I don't know what I'm gonna do when you all graduate and move to a new board... I'll probably cry! LOL...
RE called back, I have to go in for another Saline Ultrasound so they can see these fibroids and come up with a plan. I'm personally just happy that we are moving forward. I go in Wednesday at 2:45pm... that seems like a month from now...

Looks like it's a no go for me ladies. Thought I was ok until I got home from work and cried a good cry. I'm pretty sad. Doc is going to switch my protocol to lupron and growth stimulating factors???? I wasn't paying too much attention after I heard it didn't work. This time the protocol will be a little longer. I'm happy we have one more embryo to work with for next time. I'm so happy for all of you who have had positives this month. I hope my time will come. I know you all understand. In the mean time I'm going to have a glass of something alcoholic and eat ice cream.
Joyzie77 I'm so sorry you didn't get your BFP this time around. Are they putting you on a protocol so they can try and get more eggs or just preparing you for a FET?
