Hi Ladies! hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
I have my 3rd beta tomorrow. I had 1 incident of bleeding again today (also did last sun) and am continuing to have some light cramps (I've had them really since the ET - anyone else still have these?) so I'm hoping everything still continues to look ok. Not sure when my ultrasound will get scheduled for. I'm planning to ask tomorrow.
@TannaBean welcome!
laur1212 FX for rising #s!

@drove2u I have my 3rd beta on Wednesday, which can not come soon enough. Then we will have an ultrasound the next week (wk 6), I can not wait for this visit. I had a bit of anxiety today, I would really like too see that all this is happening so I can believe it for real.

vssbrm · May 2016

@laur1212 I'm so jealous of your peonies, mine has no blooms or even buds on it right now.

Drove2u · May 2016

MelD-- I haven't had any bleeding but I've been cramping since I found out I'm pregnant. It feels like period cramps but it's obviously not. After two perfect ultrasounds and seeing a heart beat I know the cramps are just baby growing. I get worried when I don't feel them. :-)

Drove2u · May 2016

Two exciting appointments today. Let us know how it goes @ultratomato and @meld17011

jpangia · May 2016

@ultratomato and @MelD17011 Good Luck today! We have our first ultrasound on Friday at 3pm! We would be 6 weeks, 3 days at that point.

MelD17011 · May 2016

Was able to connect with my nurse when I went in to get blood drawn. She thinks the bleeding is probably some irritation from the suppositories. She said they typically do a first ultrasound around 6.5 weeks but will do my around 6 because of this. She didn't seem too worried as long as my #s come back ok today. She also told me they will only keep seeing me thru 8 weeks then back to my regular OB. I wasn't expecting it to be that early based on what some of the ladies are saying on these threads.

laur1212 · May 2016

@MelD17011 I'm glad your getting your U/S earlier to ease your mind!

@ultratomato GL today!

Question when did you all call your OB office? I haven't yet, mostly because I'm waiting on beta #2 to come in (hopefully much higher!!!) should I wait until they do all 3? I was thinking of tomorrows number is good I would call them...thoughts, opinions, advice??

Drove2u · May 2016

@laur1212 When do you graduate from your RE? I wasn't going to make an appt until I was discharged from there.

laur1212 · May 2016

@Drove2u I'm not sure when I will, I'm going to ask them tomorrow but wasn't sure if I should give a call to just let them know what's up

Drove2u · May 2016

@laur1212 I wouldn't worry about it too much if your RE hast mentioned it. For me I'm just taking one week at a time.

Tulips29 · May 2016

Hi everyone! I can't believe I'm even on this thread...or anywhere outside of IF boards. It's so great to see so many familiar "faces" here and looks like many of you are well on your way through your appointments and ultrasounds. I'm so so happy!

Anyway, I had my first beta appointment yesterday and it came back at 174! I'm excited, but cautious at the same time. Beta #2 will be tomorrow, so fx those numbers will rise. I am getting a bit worries because my progesterone levels came back low. I was on oral + vaginal suppositories and now they switched me to PIO + vaginal as of today. Did anyone else experience low progesterone levels? I know progesterone is key in helping support a pregnancy, so now I'm worried that everything goes ok, given that I just started PIO today.

Drove2u · May 2016

@tulips29 congrats!! Yes they gave me PIO as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I just got off it last Friday but have another appt Wednesday so will see if I need to be put back on it again. I'm also doing crinone still. You'll be fine once you start the PIO.

ultratomato · May 2016

Bloodwork came back at 7329 and I go Thursday for ultrasound @MelD17011 good luck and any other betas or appointments I missed good luck

Drove2u · May 2016

Yeah @ultratomato !! Such great news!!

laur1212 · May 2016

Welcome and congrats @Tulips29 I have no experience with progesterone as my level was 30 (I think) and told me not to fill my Rx.

@ultratomato that's awesome news! Can you share some of that Hcg with me LOL

Tulips29 · May 2016

Thanks! @laur1212 did you go for beta #2, or is that tomorrow?

laur1212 · May 2016

It's tomorrow

trying to stay calm!

MelD17011 · May 2016

my 3rd beta today was not as high as they expected it to be. I'm devastated and nervous. Going in on wed for an ultrasound

Drove2u · May 2016

@meld17011 what have your numbers been?

Joyzie77 · May 2016

Hi everyone!
I forgot we had a thread here. Sounds like things are going well for everyone. I had my first OB appointment today. The RE's office told me to call soon so I did and they got me in today. It seemed a little soon but they did another ultrasound. I am 6 weeks 1 day. I did see the heartbeat again so that was cool. I have another RE appointment tomorrow so it's a lot of appointments this week. I guess the RE's office wants to see me 2 times a week until 7 weeks. I'm not sure why. Maybe just to watch me closely. I don't go back to the OB for another 6 weeks. They took some blood and did a Pap test since I hadn't had one in awhile. I'm bleeding a little from the Pap test but that's normal. Someone else asked about cramping. I don't get the cramping quite as much as I did in the very beginning. The only signs of pregnancy I have right now are nausea and sore boobs!!!! Saw all your planting pictures. Hubby did some of that this weekend too. I'm not much of a green thumb.

Joyzie77 · May 2016

@laur1212 My first HCG level at one week post transfer was 64. Then it was 1900 a week later. Fingers crossed!

Joyzie77 · May 2016

@vssbrm I agree. It's nice to actually get to see the ultrasound. Soon enough! I think it's going to be hard eventually leaving the RE's office because of all the ultrasound appointments.

MelD17011 · May 2016

@Drove2uHad my first beta 5/10 at 304. 2nd was 5/12 at 592. My 3rd was today 5/16 but at 1336

vssbrm · May 2016

@MelD17011 lots of prayers your way that the next visit goes as expected.

ultratomato · May 2016

@MelD17011 praying everything is okay. Keep us posted

Tulips29 · May 2016

@MelD17011 I thought as long as he numbers double its good. What was the doctor hoping your third bets would be? Hoping everything will
be ok for you!!

Drove2u · May 2016

@meld17011 those numbers seem good. Why does the doctor have a problem with them?

laur1212 · May 2016

@MelD17011 yea what do they want them to be? They seems good to me! FX

MelD17011 · May 2016

I guess the issue is they should have doubled in 2 days and then again in 2 days.... so TH was 600, Sat should have been 1200 (I didn't do a beta that day) and then Mon should have been over 2000 (I was around 1300). So they are rising but not at the rate they want. I had a total breakdown yesterday. But did a little researching and it sounds like sometimes this is normal. I wouldn't be so worried, but I am also bleeding some. Tomorrow can't get here soon enough!
Thanks for the support!!!!!

Joyzie77 · May 2016

I'm sorry that you are stressed @MelD17011. I hope everything is ok. Keep us posted.

laur1212 · May 2016

Beta #2 came back at 339!!!!!

MelD17011 · May 2016

@laur1212 yay! Congrats!

Tulips29 · May 2016

@laur1212 Woohooo!

My beta #2 results came back at 342, which is pretty much double from Sunday. I go back in a week for beta #3.

Joyzie77 · May 2016

@laur1212 Great news!

Joyzie77 · May 2016

For those of you who have done genetic testing or PGS testing, is there any testing that you won't be doing because you've already done some genetic screening?

Drove2u · May 2016

Awesome news on the betas! I have an ultrasound tomorrow.

ultratomato · May 2016

Freaking out ladies had a bad stressful day at work and now I come home from work to find a dark brown discharge in my panties and a very small blood clot I called office waiting to hear from them. This happen to anyone?

MelD17011 · May 2016

ultratomato I've had a few incidents of bleeding. From what I'm reading/being told is that bleeding/spotting in the first trimester is pretty common. Especially if you're not having cramping along with it. I am going in for an early utlrasound tomorrow because of this as well as my betas not doubling. I know how horrible it is to see! Let us know when you hear back from your RE.
