Hi girls, so i have to admit I've been going a lite crazy the last few days worrying about my upcoming ultrasound on Wednesday. I am just so worried that we won't see a heartbeat. So far everything seems to be going well. Hcg levels are good, progesterone level is good, etc. But I just can't help but worry that simething is wrong with the baby. I haven't had a ton of symptoms, I had a little bit of nausea yesterday in the morning which made me feel better, but nothing since then. I'm so worried about a blighted ovum. Does anyone know how likely they are with blastocyst transfers? My original thought is that they are less likely since you can see the inner cell mass of the blastocyst which is supposed to develop into the baby? Not sure how accurate that is though.
OK... I just woke up after a super late night of not sleeping well due to thunder and lightning and I just read that I may have to put this lil blue pill up in my who ha...did I catch that right? I hope mine are oral pills...

Hi @runmeg91 it's ok to feel scared, I certainly did this week. But LO is in there and you'll make it these next few days. We are here for you each day till you get to see your bean.
As for the risk of an anembryonic pregnancy, the risk is the same as your chromosomal risk by age since that is what causes it, EXCEPT that some of your percentage of chromosomally abnormal embryos already arrested, so don't forget to decrease by that amount. So yes, less likely with IVF Bc some that would be AP have already been removed from the equation. That can give you some bare bones statistics.
But try not to worry about the lack of symptoms. Unfortunately, at this point our bodies are pretty much toying with our emotions like a bad ex we wish we'd never dated. creepy internet hugs and it's ok to feel thrilled by nausea and worried by a lack of exhaustion. Either way, LO is still doing its thing in there growing like a weed. Hope this helps!!!
@runmeg I definitely know exactly how you are feeling. With four HCG blood workups before getting cleared to even do an ultrasound. I had convinced myself that I had a blighted ovum. I even had to step away from this wonderfully supportive board because everything I was reading was making me more paranoid about my low, slow climbing numbers. It really took away my initial excitement about actually being pregnant because I felt like I was going to find out it wasn't real.
Like you, I didn't (and still don't) have a lot of the symptoms associated with pregnancy. My boobs aren't swollen or full or super veiny, but still pretty squishy. And the real freak outs happen when I wake up in the morning and they feel less full than the day before ---eek! Full on Panic. I only just started (like in the last two-three days) having slight bouts with nausea, but it really has manifested as food aversions. I'm simply not hungry, nor does anything sound good. I also just started having light headedness.
I think that gals like us have (unfortunately) been programmed to wait for the other shoe to drop. I am certain that your ultrasound will blow your mind in the best possible way! And we will all be celebrating your little one's growth by Wednesday afternoon!
I know that you already know this, but you are not alone. Even though all of our journeys are different, that touch of similarity has brought a great solace to me throughout this process, so today, I am hoping to do that for you. My experience has been very similar and so far, so good. Saw our cub Thursday, with a heartbeat and with a very enthusiastic RE. We even got a graduation date! You're next!
Congrats @athompson0308 and @ShayLatrice! @Rachd110 I was put on Estrace for my FET (not fresh). Honestly not sure why.... I've actually been taking it orally.
Thank you @HBMama2B and @jav5y2! I really appreciate those encouraging words! This group always makes me feel better when I'm feeling down or having a rough day
@mclorn my FET is scheduled for Dec 3rd and my meds will be here next week. I'm soooo hoping that my estrace is oral tablets because I can't wrap my head around blue goo coming from my who.

@ShayLatrice my nurse gave me verbal and written instructions that said orally, but then weeks later when I saw my RE he said "um those were suppose to be vaginally!". Ops. He said since it was working no need to change now, however typically vaginally is more effective. I guess if you are told vaginally you can at least ask about trying orally first.
I've been MIA... It's been a rough few days..... Here's my best to respond to all: so many good stories, so happy to hear (aka read lol) them all! Overall feeling after reading: Man we are lucky to have this support group. I really can't believe how wonderful it has turned out! Such a blessing!
I have reach the exhaustion part of the cycle (:| , tired isn't the word anymore. And the hormones are kicking in- emotions are all over the place. I went for 2 U/S-- both okay. I had 8 follies, one was a 15 so they started me with ganirelix! Went back yesterday, and no growth. She showed me about 6, all with the same measurements from the last u/s (no growth in 2 days-- ugh!) and im not sure where the other 2 were. Then said there are several small follies but not big enough to measure.
My estimated ER was this Tuesday, but I don't think it's gonna be then. I go back tomorrow for more blood and another sono. I'm praying more have grown and that the ones that are there grew! I feel like my body stalled BUT we shall see! They go really fast, so I'm hoping that there are more there than they tell me or see. It's like a 4 minute sono... I don't know how they see that much so fast, but I just gotta have faith. I'm nervous to say the least.
@Rachd110 38?!? That's amazing!! I'm so jealous & SO HAPPY for you! Sounds like some successful stimming! estrace is part of the protocol. I used it before stimming and will be on it agin, post stimming. When is ER again?? Dates are getting lost in my brain since there are so many of us.
@runmeg91 totally normal to feel that way! I think after going through what we go through, it's hard to fully process the good things that happen. We're always so worried and aware of all the things that can (and have) gone wrong that it's hard to relax and enjoy the good! But you've had good betas- so enjoy it! Your US will go greaT! Keep us posted
@HBamama2B I'm so sorry!! It's amazing how some people can be so self involved and destructive to other people's lives. Looks like you DH is standing by you though, and while it's def not the most ideal situation, you just have to try to move past it! You def do not need the stress! You are FINALLY pregnant, DO NOT let her ruin that moment for you! It's your baby, your pregnancy, and your life- she's just part of it (if you let her!) and they way she is acting, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't let her be part! Stay strong sweetie! And enjoy your pregnancy- forget her!! (I know it's easier said than done) if you can survive IVF, you can survive a selfish MIL!

@Colleen0516 I sure hope that when you go back that you've had some growth of those follies. How many days of stimming has it been so far? I had some slow growing follies as well and my ER got pushed out because she wanted me to stim for 2 more days to try and grow out the last 2 follies she saw. This process is def exhausting and I'm sorry it has been suck a rough go for you... FX crossed for good news tomorrow!

@colleen0516 I was told stimming is usually 10-14 days. Fx that they grew over the last couple days. Good luck tomorrow. Keep us posted. I also go in tomorrow for US and blood test. They haven't told me when my ER will be, but I'm guessing Wednesday or Thursday.
@colleen0516I yay!!! I've been thinking about you! I had an egg that went from nothing to8 then 12 to 19! You truly don't know drink k lots of water!!! The size needs to be accurate make sure you aren't dehydrated! You got this. Do something today to celebrate
Been creeping on the board the last several days, just haven't bothered attempted to type comments on my cell phone.
@Colleen0516 I'm so happy for your progress. Those little eggs grow pretty quickly towards the end so you should do great!
@Rachd110 Hope your appointment went well! Best of luck heading up to your ER!
@jav5y2 Congrats on your US! And what a cute fur baby!
@runmeg91 I have seriously been in the exact boat as you this past week. I, too, have my US on Wednesday and am so freaking anxious to see what's in there! I made the mistake of accidentally reading a blog post a couple of weeks ago and learned about blighted ovum for the first time and have been freaking out ever since. I haven't really have had any pregnancy symptoms either- just exhaustion and occasional cramping. Just hang in there, odds are pretty slim that it would happen, and we've gotten over the biggest statistical hurdle of IVF by just getting a BFP. Best of luck to you w/ your US!

I learned some things over the course of the last few days that I thought I'd share.
I had been spotting on and off, mainly after intercourse. The blood completely freaked me out so I scheduled an emergency ultrasound this morning. Everything is fine (LO has a heartbeat of 121 and is measuring 1.3 cm). The doctor told me that 1 in 3 women bleed in their first trimester and typically it's harmless. He also said that at this point (I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow), 75-80% of pregnancies progress normally. I think the nurse thought I was overreacting by scheduling a follow-up U/S but I'm not going to let anyone make me feel guilty about checking on my LO's health.
Secondly, I've been having some pretty gnarly "morning" sickness. Side note: whoever named it morning sickness is a total liar because mine is all day. However, I recently learned that if I eat half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich right before bed I feel much better in the morning and throughout the day.
So, in short, bleeding isn't always bad, schedule an appointment with your doctor if you're worried, and peanut butter is your friend
@lck0830 glad everything is ok. I have a couple friends who spotted during their first trimester and ended up having healthy babies.
I went in yesterday and today for more monitoring. I'm most likely going to trigger with Lupron tonight. Since I'm triggering with Lupron, I have to go back tomorrow for blood test to make sure it worked. I had a different US tech today and she didn't tell me how many follies. She just said she thinks I will trigger tonight because doctor usually triggers if at least 4 follies are greater than 18. Yesterday morning I had about 40 follies ranging from 12-18. Largest were 18 and 17. I've been really uncomfortable the last couple days. It hurts to walk. I can't even button up my pants.
@colleen0516 how was your US this morning? Did you follies grow? Hope you can trigger soon.
Is was wondering hiw you ladies handle the pregnancy in terms of telling family and friends? Do you keep it for you or share it with rverybody? When will you make it public?
I want to wait until 12 weeks as i am very worried my little bean doesnt stick
