Hi Girls-So I had my beta 9dpfet and it was 158! Progesterone 19 and estrogen 253..so I'm pregnant! . But Over the past 3 days I've had brown spotting just like 1-2 a day and pain on and off on my left side ...excited but really scared at the same time... I go back in for BW Tuesday to see if beta numbers double ... I don't think I'm going to be able to relax at all through this but know I have to.
Awesome @ChristinaV2015 so happy your on your next steps already!!!
@tvh1982 I know you have your beta -thinking of you- last cycle I got AF 3-4 days after stopping meds
@kennelchick cramping is normal def day of transfer my dr gave me a sheet that said I could take Tylenol for cramps -- love the picture and sending positive t & p's!!
@piperella do you still have spotting or bleeding ...
@purepositivity yes, off and on. Like I'll go 2 or 3 days without, but next time I wipe, I see spotting. I'm calling the RE in a few minutes when they open.
So I went in for my beta and I am pissed off! Because, silly me, I wanted to safe a few bucks (110$) I decided to just go to my doctors office. They scheduled me at 14:30 and, well because it is to late to send my bloodwork to the hospital they will do that tomorrow. Fine I said, when can I call tomorrow? Oh no dear you'll know by Wednesday afternoon, try calling us then, if your lucky we can answer you by then! Sure why the f* not, its not like I have done some waiting already! I can literally cry right now!
I'm so sorry about the beta slowness, @tvh1982! That is a long wait! I would be so upset, too. I think you deserve to be able to pout and have a fit the rest of the day. Do something nice for yourself this afternoon/evening. Hopefully they surprise you and get the results tomorrow afternoon.
Thanx @piperella. This time around things haven't really go as planned, so I do hope I get rewarded with a healthy baby soon. Now I'll just be a vegetable on the sofa and watch Netflix.
@tvh1982 sorry to hear you have to wait! Been waiting to read if it went well for you. Hang in there!

@tvh1982 omgosh that would drive me absolutely batty! I'd be tempted to go to an ER and have it drawn there! But I guess that's an expensive ER trip vs waiting another 2 days. FX for you!!!!
@takethelongway FX for you tomorrow! Luck and baby dust to you!
So sorry that you have more waiting!! So frustrating!!! @tvh1982
So I called my nurse about the spotting she said all day long people call to report spotting.. She said not to worry too much unless it's red periodish flow.... But she also told me no exercise no sex and heavy lifting until atleast ultrasound. What did your RE say@piperella
How is everyone feeling my dear friends? Yesterday at church, they had a special prayer service because so many members of the church are going through different things. The Pastor said a prayer for "those women who so desperately want to be mommies." My DH just held me as I sobbed. I prayed for all of us through my tears.
@tvh1982 I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this frustration. Who wants to wait 2 more days?! These doctors and nurses just don't get it at times.
@erinscaren how are you doing girl? You've been in my thoughts. I never got that private message you sent by the way.
@ChristinaV2015 Awww that message from your church brought tears to my eyes. I love that DH is so sweet and supportive of you.
I'm doing pretty good! Much much much better than I did during the fresh 2ww. I have not bought a single HPT and I'm not symptom spotting or obsessing this time. Tomorrow will be halfway through the wait. I don't know where my pm went haha, it must be somewhere in cyber space. I am keeping up with the February fet thread so I'll know right when you get a bfp!!!!
@purepositivity - The nurse said that over half of the women who have FETs spot. The nurse called me in a beta test and I went this morning and my numbers are still doubling. She said that if I felt the need between now and the u/s that I could call in again and they would do another beta test for me if it made me feel better. She was so sweet in that she listened to me and made sure I knew she knew that this was my first pregnancy. I'm just trying to relax. And yes, all those things to refrain from, I'm staying away from. Hopefully this makes you feel a bit better and know you're not alone.
@ChristinaV2015 - Oh my you teared me up well tonight. What a beautiful thing for your pastor to say in church. I'm just tearing up just reflecting on those words. Thank you for sharing that moment. It's lovely.
I've lost track of all the upcoming betas. Congrats on the halfway through the TWW, @erinscaren! Stay strong! (says the weakest person who couldn't help but POAS). Please remind us if we have missed you! I also love lurking on the Feb FET thread and will be keeping my fingers crossed for those of you on your next steps.
Stop tearing me up @christinav2015 that was a beautiful gesture of both your pastor and you.
Even though this journey has been exhausting, and not one I wished for as a little girl, I am however very grateful that I have met all you lovely ladies. Not sure how I would have kept my insanity.
@ChristinaV2015 even though it's happening at different times for all of us... It's GOING to happen that we all become moms!! You are blessed to have such great support especially your DH! Thank you so much for sharing that! I teared up but felt an extra burst of strength for all of us!
@piperella thank you. That's great you got that reassurance! I think I'll feel better when I get the beta results today.
@erinscaren yay half way!! I didn't poas this time but it was so hard! Love that your staying relaxed!!!!

I'm so sorry @tvh1982. My thoughts are with you. I know that we will all be mommies, the waiting is what may kill us. I'm so sorry you have to go through this process again.
I'm so sorry, @tvh1982. I was hoping after everything you have been through this past month that you would have a BFP. You are an amazing and incredible woman. Sending you hugs.
@tvh1982 I'm sorry, hun. Not the outcome I wanted to read today for you. Your bright outlook and optimism amaze me. Sending you hugs from North Carolina, USA!
Thank you all for the love and support! It means the world to me! I just wanted you all to know that I got my beta results today. I do not know my number because I missed every single call today, but it is a BFP. I figured it would be a BFP because I started testing positive on HPT at 4dp5dt, but I did not know if it would be a chemical or not. It does not seem that way at the moment. Repeat betas on Thursday (2/4) and Monday (2/8).

@takethelongway YAY! Congrats!!! You sneaky little POAS lady! Sorry you kept missing the actual beta number. I hate playing phone tag. I'm so very happy for you!!!
You ladies are to kind. Thank you. I kept myself well at work, and also at home, I kinda felt it before the weekend, so slowly prepared myself. But at 8 o'clock I was exhausted and went to bed. That's where the waterfalls came. Guess even though you kinda know, it's still heartbreaking.
Yay for another BFP @takethelongway! I could do with some happy news today!
Thank you so much @Piperella, @tvh1982, and @HaveHope&Faith! Hoping to get first beta number today and I have repeat tomorrow. In the meantime I'm still POAS because I am incredibly obsessive.

Thank you @erinscaren! My nurse emailed me back and at 8dp5dt my hCG was a 58.5 and my P4 was 25.1. She said that's exactly where they wanted it to be. Beta #2 tomorrow!

Ugh. Beta #2 came back at 90.9. A 55% increase. My RE wants 66% or more. Repeat on Monday and the minimum it should be is about 210.9 if my math is correct.
