Thanks ladies...Random question..how long after your transfer did you wait to pee..they promised me I wouldn't pee it out..haha..and i believe them but am so nervous about that...Am I just being totally crazy??
@rachlee2010 I pee'd right after. You can't pee embaby out. Right now your lining is being communicated to by the progesterone to prepare a place for embaby, so embaby is safe! Pee away!
@wenikilina As I think of them I'll shoot them over. I've learned so much in the last few months since finding out it was twins. Sleeping on your left side helps with blood flow to the uterus, which is very important when you are pregnant... super important with twins. Control your sugar/sweets intake as much as possible because you are more susceptible to gestational diabetes with twins. I didn't know that, but my perinatologist def warned me. Your first few appointments with your perinatologist may be overwhelming. They are going to discuss EVERYTHING with you including ALL the risks, and it is going to freak you out. Don't go googling ANY of the risks they discuss with you. Take care of your body, take care of your emotions... that is all you can control. They are going to do such thorough scans to rule out all t hose risks and make sure babies are A-OK. Most people stop having to pee all the time in the 2nd trimester, don't get your hopes up... with twins you may or may not get a break from the peeing. I'm 15 weeks and I'm still peeing and I was told that I will probably keep peeing a lot throughout the entire pregnancy because of how the babies are sitting. You may need support sooner when sleeping, I'm using a wedge pillow now to help support my belly cause I'm sleeping on my left side and I have a boppy pillow behind my back to support my back. LOL...The exhaustion will go away in the second trimester, but really after most tasks you will be tired and have to sit down and catch your breath. In this first trimester, take as m help as offered to you. If people wanna cook, let them. If they want to come clean up, let them. Have your OBGYN test to make sure you aren't anemic as well, that def becomes a concern in any pregnancy, but even more so with twins. Yeesh...LOL.

Thanks @ShayLatrice I see your beta was also 13dp5dfet...that is when mine is but I see so many people who have beta's as early as 8dp transfer..Wonder why there is such a difference between doctors..did you test at home before your beta?
I didn't test at home. I didn't want to put myself through the agony of a false positive or negative so I waited until Beta day. My RE said with FETs she likes to wait until 13 days because if the egg doesn't implant within the first 48 hours and you test on day 8 you will get a negative even though the changes of you becoming pregnant is still good. So we waited and it was def worth the wait for me to hear it from my RE that I was pregnant and it was absolute certainty.

Your RE might do things differently. Some girls had 8 day or 10 day betas. My RE is just extra precautious.

My buff did a fet and had her beta after 8 days. I think it just depends on the dr. My dr actually asked if we planned on cheating and testing at home (I guess he realizes how long it is) he said to wait at least 8 days before doing that and even if it's negative to continue meds until my blood test and they tell me to stop. Not sure yet if or when we will test. Probably the day before so I know before my nurse calls me at work. Crying in front of my students is not ideal. Although praying I'll be celebrating
@rachlee2010 I'm so excited for you!! Did they do a trigger shot? I had a trigger shot and tested EVERYDAY so I would know hahaha I did NOT have the patience to wait. Mine was 9dp5dt. I'm ready to countdown with you!!!
@wenikilina my next u/s is Mon too! The baby had been too small the last two times to hear the heartbeat, but we did see it beating on the screen. i just want to HEAR it so I can relax a little more!!

no trigger shot @twomommiestobe..I did that for my retrieval..why do they do that for a frozen transfer??
It depends on the dr (most dont). Mine does a mini shot at the time of all transfers and says it is to help with implantation. The good thing is you can test at home and not fear "is it just the trigger". I'll be crossing my fingers sooooooo hard!!

I'm a little bummed that there is the same # of follicles since my baseline, but the ultrasonographer said not to worry bc they are growing beautifully and pretty insync with each other. Still waiting for lab results & further instructions from my nurse.

@rachlee2010 So exciting!! Sounds promising. I look forward to hearing good news!! I laid on the table for 15 minutes after transfer. After that I got dressed, went pee and went home. Also, I was recommended to be on "bedrest with bathroom and kitchen privileges" for three days, which included the transfer day. I took it easy.

I truly hate the 2ww..I am only 3 days into it and going crazy. Yesterday I had cramping throughout the day..regular period like cramping which I am hoping is a good sign. Then I feel fine and get worried..haha..I know if it was implantation cramps it shouldn't last more than a day or two but still..I hate the mind game that is the 2ww...ahh
@rachlee2010Yeah it sucks for sure but it'll be all worth it!
As for me I just started taking last night ganerelix for three nights with estrioldol. Then once I get my period it's game time lol. First time taking ganirelix and it burned, turned red and lumpy.

Update from this morning: I have to go back in to the doctors for another blood work and ultrasound tomorrow morning. Estradiol is 700, but I STILL only have 4 decent follicles measuring @ 17mm the remaining 3 are <10mm. We're being faced with the decision to move forward with retrieval and hope I get at least 2 survivors after fertilization or cancel this cycle and try again with a more aggressive Med treatment. Insurance will only cover 1 retrieval process, so it's a gamble, basically. I'll know more tomorrow. Opinions??

@capps42613 Now that is tough. It's hard to decide to cancel a cycle half way through knowing what you've already been through. But let me tell you that I only had three follicles that were ready to go on my first cycle. The cycle was cancelled because my body started the ovulation process on its own. I was devastated at that point. But looking back, I sure am glad that it happened. For my next cycle we used a different protocol and were much more aggressive with the meds. They retrieved 13 eggs!! I know it's a hard decision, and if you go through with the cycle, you may have 4 perfectly good eggs. But if you cancel and try a more aggressive protocol, there's a chance that you may get more. Hugs!

@twomommiestobe Well guess what? I had a scare today. I ended up in the ER! I was getting ready for work and suddenly felt a gush - my underwear was soaked in blood! Then I sat on the toilet and dripped bright red blood. I was so frightened. I just sat there crying and waiting for my husband to get home! The good news is that the babies are okay and their heart beats are stronger than before. But I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hemorrhage behind the placenta. I later went to see my IVF doc who confirmed and said that it seems to be more common in IVF pregnancies. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done - just hope that it soon resolves on its own! More bleeding is expected. I am instructed to take it easy for the weekend and I have my follow-up appt at my US on Monday.

@wenikilina oh my goodness. So sorry that happened to you today. I'm relieved that your twinsies are perfect, and you are well. Thank you for your insight. A fear of mine is ovulating prematurely! My doctor actually called me recently to discuss my options. Based on my age and the good quality of the 4 follicles I do have, his professional opinion is to retrieve this cycle. I do trust him, so that is where we are right now.
Depending upon tomorrow's appt, he said I will most likely trigger Saturday night or Sunday night.

@wenikilina so scary but glad the babies are ok. My friend just had the same thing happen two weeks ago
im hoping cramps were a good sign. Then of course I had a stressful afternoon and my boss pissed me off so I then am worried that stress would hurt my chances. Let's hope not and I'm over it now
@capps42613 that's a hard choice but I also trust my dr and usually go with what he thinks. And it just takes 1 egg so as long as one of the four is perfect you're good to go (but I'm hoping all are perfect

@wenikilina yeah I have sch. I still have the two pools of blood in there, but at least im prepared not to freak out if I see blood!! I was on a ee of beresr, are you taling it easy? It is highly recommended. After 6 weeks when you have seen the heartbeats, the risk of m/c is 5% or less. That is the hope I will hold on to each week between u/s. My next one is mon! I was also told later on it is very common with ivf. My Dr NEVER EVER told me that. I wouldn't have cried for two days planning how to "untell" friends and family!!
@rachlee2010 don't worry about the stress. I was testing each day and knew I was pregnant. Then I took a frer and it came back stark white (middle of the night haha). I cried all night and was a wreck. The next afternoon I tested again and it was positive. It was just a bad test, BUT I was sure that my day of crying and night of not sleeping hurt my chances! Nope. Lol
@capps42613 I hope that some of the little ones grow between now and then, it is possible!! Good luck!!!
@Lsatturo126 oh hmmm, I was hoping it was refrigerated bc I had a suggestion to help with the burning lol. Try googling tips on it! There are ALWAYS things out there to try.

I sure hope you are right @twomommiestobe I woke up at 3:15 to pee last night and couldn't turn my mind off and go back to sleep. I was stressing over my principal at work and then I was stressing that my stressing and lack of sleep will effect implantation and pregnancy. I am hoping my cramps thursday were implantation and that its' already snuggled in there and can stress really prevent it from taking??? I sure hope not!!! At this point I am still stressed about my principal but not as bad, trying to get over it and just overly exhausted...Ugh..i hate all of this
@twomommiestobe Yes! I was told that at my first US as well. "5% or less." And then she said, "but it's still possible." And that lingered with me.... I hate that. Seeing blood is so scary, especially when it's a lot and it's bright red. I'm back to the spotting for now. How is yours? I think I'm just going to be a nervous wreck my entire pregnancy! Yes, I am taking it easy. I asked if she recommended bedrest and she said no because it can cause more problems, like blood clots. But I am still resting a lot!! I don't want to do anything to harm the babes. How is your nausea? Mine is out of this world. I haven't thrown up. I've gagged a few times. But I am just CONSTANTLY nauseous. Sometimes when I eat I feel a little better. But sometimes when I eat it makes me want to throw up even more. I've tried all sorts of ginger things and peppermint. Yesterday my doctor prescribed me Zofran. I can't say that it's helping though. My doctor also said that she has a feeling this pregnancy is not going to be easy for me and it's just going to be one thing after the next. Funny, because I had just told my mom the same thing about an hour before that!!

@wenikilina my Dr put me on strict bed rest for 7 days lol but I am a nanny for 15 month twins, so he said there was no way I could work and pick up the kids so maybe that's why. I bled red sat, sun. I had brown spotting mon, tues, and just a tiny tiny bit on wed. It's gone now. I'm sure I still have more to come at a later time. My nausea is getting worse. I'm eating less and less. I hate allll ginger candy I found out. The best for me is sour candy, it really helps. Luckily mine hasn't gotten to where I need meds yet. I go mon for my u/s, are you still going on mon or did they reschedule you?

Wow I am just catching up and my mouth dropped. I'm sorry you ladies are going through the bleeding, must be soooooo scary but it's so good to hear it's normal and your babies are fine. @rachlee2010 the waiting is the worst and it's so hard not to think about it. I think to get your mind off of it reading a new book, or adult coloring magazines or watching a new movie series or something will help. That's what I'm going to do next time around.
As for me, last night the ganirelix didn't blow up red at all just a little itchy. Guess the first time my body wasn't use to it now it's much better. One more night of it anyway and I should get my period by the 17th. Then it'll be go time for an aggressive approach. Crossing fingers I get more this time.
Be strong ladies !!!

Needless to say, anything is possible! I'm keeping my signature open so it gives someone out there hope that anything is possible. Message me if you ever have any questions or just need someone to talk to. DON'T GIVE UP!
alright ladies...@wenikilina@twomommiestobe@ShayLatrice what were your first signs/symptoms of pregnancy and when did they start?? I am trying so hard not to symptom spot but it's so hard. Other than cramping on thursday my only symptom would be my boobs are a teeny tiny bit sensitive but that is probably just the progesterone, not pregnancy..I am still too early probably for anything anyway.
@LSatturo126 yay for almost getting ready to start. What is ganirelix for? When i took cetrotide the first time it blew up and was itchy but after that I was fine..sounds similar to you
@rachlee2010 it's like impossible to tell when you are on progesterone.
If I were you, I'd buy a ton of cheap tests (I got mine at the dollar store haha) and I'd be testing nonstop! No pressure though!! How many days past transfer are you?

only 4dp5dt @twomommiestobe so it's way to early plus the progesterone...i know from my IUI's that the meds make it impossible but still hard not to look into things. I am determined to test and test and test..I have 1 test in my house that I will use next weekend probably

Next weekend? You have more patience than me! A lot of people start getting bfp by 8dpt.... some as early as 6 (rare though). hahaha again, no pressure!! When is your beta?
RE DX for me: Anovulatory cycles/Mild PCOS RE DX for DW: Endometrioma on left Ovary. Reciprocal Ivf Feb 2016. DW eggs and I am carrying. EDD: 10/27/16
my beta is March 21 which is 13dp5dt..the dr asked if I was going to cheat and if i was to wait at least 8 days..that would be Wednesday. I will probably wait until Sat or Sunday so 11 or 12 dp5dt..we will see.
I hate thinking too much about symptoms and then I wonder if my PIO dosage is enough..i've seen some people on higher doses..ugh...why can't the brain just shut off

@wenikilina As I think of them I'll shoot them over. I've learned so much in the last few months since finding out it was twins. Sleeping on your left side helps with blood flow to the uterus, which is very important when you are pregnant... super important with twins. Control your sugar/sweets intake as much as possible because you are more susceptible to gestational diabetes with twins. I didn't know that, but my perinatologist def warned me. Your first few appointments with your perinatologist may be overwhelming. They are going to discuss EVERYTHING with you including ALL the risks, and it is going to freak you out. Don't go googling ANY of the risks they discuss with you. Take care of your body, take care of your emotions... that is all you can control. They are going to do such thorough scans to rule out all t hose risks and make sure babies are A-OK. Most people stop having to pee all the time in the 2nd trimester, don't get your hopes up... with twins you may or may not get a break from the peeing. I'm 15 weeks and I'm still peeing and I was told that I will probably keep peeing a lot throughout the entire pregnancy because of how the babies are sitting. You may need support sooner when sleeping, I'm using a wedge pillow now to help support my belly cause I'm sleeping on my left side and I have a boppy pillow behind my back to support my back. LOL...The exhaustion will go away in the second trimester, but really after most tasks you will be tired and have to sit down and catch your breath. In this first trimester, take as m help as offered to you. If people wanna cook, let them. If they want to come clean up, let them. Have your OBGYN test to make sure you aren't anemic as well, that def becomes a concern in any pregnancy, but even more so with twins. Yeesh...LOL.

As for me I just started taking last night ganerelix for three nights with estrioldol. Then once I get my period it's game time lol. First time taking ganirelix and it burned, turned red and lumpy. Went away after an hour but I did not like it one bit lol. Have a great weekend ladies!!! Looking forward to your next sonogram @wenikilina !!

Update from this morning: I have to go back in to the doctors for another blood work and ultrasound tomorrow morning. Estradiol is 700, but I STILL only have 4 decent follicles measuring @ 17mm the remaining 3 are <10mm. We're being faced with the decision to move forward with retrieval and hope I get at least 2 survivors after fertilization or cancel this cycle and try again with a more aggressive Med treatment. Insurance will only cover 1 retrieval process, so it's a gamble, basically.

im hoping cramps were a good sign. Then of course I had a stressful afternoon and my boss pissed me off so I then am worried that stress would hurt my chances. Let's hope not and I'm over it now
@capps42613 that's a hard choice but I also trust my dr and usually go with what he thinks. And it just takes 1 egg so as long as one of the four is perfect you're good to go (but I'm hoping all are perfect

@rachlee2010 don't worry about the stress. I was testing each day and knew I was pregnant. Then I took a frer and it came back stark white (middle of the night haha). I cried all night and was a wreck. The next afternoon I tested again and it was positive. It was just a bad test, BUT I was sure that my day of crying and night of not sleeping hurt my chances! Nope. Lol
@capps42613 I hope that some of the little ones grow between now and then, it is possible!! Good luck!!!
@Lsatturo126 oh hmmm, I was hoping it was refrigerated bc I had a suggestion to help with the burning lol. Try googling tips on it! There are ALWAYS things out there to try.

I bled red sat, sun. I had brown spotting mon, tues, and just a tiny tiny bit on wed. It's gone now. I'm sure I still have more to come at a later time. My nausea is getting worse. I'm eating less and less. I hate allll ginger candy I found out. The best for me is sour candy, it really helps. Luckily mine hasn't gotten to where I need meds yet. I go mon for my u/s, are you still going on mon or did they reschedule you?

@rachlee2010 the waiting is the worst and it's so hard not to think about it. I think to get your mind off of it reading a new book, or adult coloring magazines or watching a new movie series or something will help. That's what I'm going to do next time around.
As for me, last night the ganirelix didn't blow up red at all just a little itchy. Guess the first time my body wasn't use to it now it's much better. One more night of it anyway and I should get my period by the 17th. Then it'll be go time for an aggressive approach. Crossing fingers I get more this time.
Be strong ladies !!!

@LSatturo126 yay for almost getting ready to start. What is ganirelix for? When i took cetrotide the first time it blew up and was itchy but after that I was fine..sounds similar to you
If I were you, I'd buy a ton of cheap tests (I got mine at the dollar store haha) and I'd be testing nonstop! No pressure though!! How many days past transfer are you?
