I missed all of you ladies while I was gone last week. On the one hand, it was great to not have any cell service and disconnect from the world for a little while with DH. We had a great time in Alaska but I definitely missed all of the connections with you ladies. Sounds like there were some big weeks for some of the ladies here!
I have my first appt with the OB on Thursday. I'll be right at 9 weeks and I'm still nervous every time I go in. My RE only saw us through week 6 so it's been almost 3 weeks since the last appointment. We are waiting until Thursday to tell our family what we are having but we took a really cute picture while we were on vacation showing the little boy shoes in front of the glacier saying "I survived the Ice Age." Plus my parents are coming into town this weekend so I know my mom is going to want to go crazy shopping for her grandson.

@Griffin5413 welcome back! Hope you had an amazing trip! I love your "I survived the Ice Age" picture idea.
@vssbrm good luck today! Is this your first heartbeat appointment?
AFM - just got the call. Beta #3 came back at 5,849! I'm really happy with the number. I'd go back next Tuesday for the heartbeat appointment, but DH and I decided to take a last minute European cruise, so we'll be away next week. Which means I have to wait 2 weeks for my next appointment. Hoping vacation can take my mind off it, but I already can't wait to come back.

@Tulips29 European cruise! So jealous! That sounds amazing? Where are you going? When I graduated college my family took me on one, it was amazing!
@griffin5413 welcome back!! Glad to hear your cruise was good!
Afm: U/S went great! We did not get to hear the heartbeat yet, but the RE said it looked fantastic! We are measuring exactly where we should be. It seems so much more real now! Our next is June 7. It's going to be so hard not going in for two weeks!

So happy for all who had great appointments today! And super jeally of vacations and cruises
AFM- I'm 5w6d (based off of LMP) today and all they could see was the gestational sac. My doc thinks he sees a yolk sac but it's not clear on the ultrasound and said it could just be too early and that some "uteruses aren't as photogenic" praying he's right! Beta #3 won't be in until after 3pm. Praying little bean is all good and just being dramatic already LOL
@vssbrm Thanks! I'm excited since I've never been on a Mediterranean cruise before. We leave from Barcelona, then go to Cartagena, Gibraltar, Marseille, Genoa, Florence/Pisa and end in Rome. I've only been to Florence out of all these places, so looking forward to exploring the rest. Glad to hear your appointment went well today. I commented on another thread, but my next appointment is June 7th also. Really hoping we get to hear the heartbeat then. I'll be anxiously waiting!

AFM- I am awaiting the results of my 4th beta. They've all been great! Taken every 2 days starting at 8dp5dt and they were: 81, 295 and then 891 on Sunday.
MC mentioned
**Question** I am thinking of going in for an U/S on Friday at 5w1d just to see the sac or sacs. Good idea or should I just wait until 7 weeks? last time I went in at 6w1d and had a major freak-out bc the doc was worried - unfortunately, it ended with a MMC. I want to reassure myself but I also don't want to freak myself out. I know at 5w1d all that you should be able to see is the sac, right?
***TW****MC mentioned & BFP mentioned***
me 38 DH 39. TTC#1 since July 2014 AMH 0.1, DOR, Poor responder Moved to Prague, Czech Republic for IVF
2 Natural IVF cycles, 3 full IVF cycles, 4 transfers, 1 BFP - heard heartbeat at 6w5d
Diagnosed MMC at 9w1d on 11/30/15
Headed back home to Colorado 12/12/15
DE attempt in Czech Republic!!
March trip to Prague canceled due to Pancreatitis. Headed to Prague April 30 3 different donors resulted in 1 PGS tested embryo and 1 fresh embryo
2 embryo's transferred (from 2 different donors) on 5/10/16 BFP on 5/15/16 at 5dp5dt
Beta 1 = 81 at 8dp5dt, Beta 2 = 295 at 10dp5dt, Beta 3 = 891 at 12dt5dt. Beta 4 = 2114 at 14dp5dt, Beta 5 = 4916 at 16dp5dt, Beta 6 = 13252 at 19dp5dt
@susykat77 yes when I went in for my first us at 5 weeks the doc was like we're only looking for a sac today. We saw fetal pole too but he was like we're not expecting to see much today. Has anyone here actually heard a heartbeat yet? I've only been able to see them not hear them.
Drove2u - I have only seen the heartbeat too. I should be having an u/s Thursday at my appointment but I think 9 weeks is still too early. I've been reading that we can usually hear between 10-12 weeks but I'm not sure about that. I'll let you know after my appt Thursday though

@laur1212 great 3rd beta! And you can totes come along, all are welcome! We can have a big party on the boat!
This might be a very silly question, but I thought you actually get to HEAR the heartbeat way sooner than 10-12 weeks. You only get to see it until then?

I'm 8 weeks and have only seen it not heard it so far. I'm still seeing my RE too. I'm fine just seeing it. It's nice to know everything is working well.
@tulips29 you are going to some fantastic places!! Rome is my fave! My prof. Is in Architecture, as part of my schooling I lived there for a summer. Loved every moment. I hope you have more than 1 day there. Barcelona is stunning too. Pisa is a cute little town! Florence is beautiful as well. There is a little olive oil shop near the leather markets that is amazing. And the best gelato is in Florence! I'm so jealous, I have not been back to Europe since my nephew was baptized (lives in Switzerland). Enjoy! It's a beautiful time of year to be there.

@ultratomato Awesome that you got to hear the heartbeats! Our RE graduated us last Friday and our 2nd US with the OB is Friday morning. The nerves are starting to set it......
@capps42613 thanks for posting in the other thread about this group. It's early for me but I feel like this is a nice group to join. -What road did you take to get your BFP (ie IUI, IFV, etc)?IUI 1: bfp, only made it to 1st beta, ended in ectopic IUI 2-8: bfn. I should add that my insurance required me to have at least 7 IUI's before going on to IVF IVF/FET 1 bfn FET 2: BFP -When is your due date?According to the websites twin due date is 1/6/17. I'll hopefully find out at my first u/s appointment in 2 weeks -Anything else you want to share?I'm excited to join this group as I know you ladies are supportive. Thank you for supporting me on my journey 1) Where are you from (whatever you're comfortable sharing) NY: Westchester county, CT: Fairfield county 2) What's your career/profession? Nurse 3) How did you & DH (or partner) meet? We met when I used to go to study groups during nursing school.
I will try to catch up on all the posts shortly. It's really nice joining you ladies.
Hi ladies! I guess I'll go ahead and jump on over here since I had my second beta yesterday! I'm definitely glad to be on this board with you lovelies that I already know.
-What road did you take to get your BFP (ie IUI, IFV, etc)? We tried two rounds of IUI, but with MFI we ended up moving to IVF with ICSI and assisted hatching in January. ER was February 17th, FET was May 11th.
-When is your due date? The nurse gave me a due date of January 27th.
-Anything else you want to share? I am so so so grateful for these boards and all you wonderful people! And also, I have been experiencing slight cramping on and off since my transfer, which I was assured was normal and quite all right.

AFM- I'm 5w6d (based off of LMP) today and all they could see was the gestational sac. My doc thinks he sees a yolk sac but it's not clear on the ultrasound and said it could just be too early and that some "uteruses aren't as photogenic" praying he's right! Beta #3 won't be in until after 3pm. Praying little bean is all good and just being dramatic already LOL

@tulips29 Your cruise sounds AMAZING!! The weather should be perfect.
Congrats @laur1212 on your third beta!!
@ultratomato So awesome that you got to see both heartbeats!! Beautiful pic of the babes.
@vssbrm So happy your ultrasound went great!!
@drove2u Yay for an awesome Ultrasound!!
AFM- I am awaiting the results of my 4th beta. They've all been great! Taken every 2 days starting at 8dp5dt and they were: 81, 295 and then 891 on Sunday.
MC mentioned
**Question** I am thinking of going in for an U/S on Friday at 5w1d just to see the sac or sacs. Good idea or should I just wait until 7 weeks? last time I went in at 6w1d and had a major freak-out bc the doc was worried - unfortunately, it ended with a MMC. I want to reassure myself but I also don't want to freak myself out. I know at 5w1d all that you should be able to see is the sac, right?

Has anyone here actually heard a heartbeat yet? I've only been able to see them not hear them.
TTC since Oct 2013
IVF round 1 January 2016 (w/ ICSI)
ER: February 17, 2016; 15 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 11 fertilized

FET date: April 12, 2016 - DS born Dec 7, 2016

This might be a very silly question, but I thought you actually get to HEAR the heartbeat way sooner than 10-12 weeks. You only get to see it until then?

It's early for me but I feel like this is a nice group to join.
-What road did you take to get your BFP (ie IUI, IFV, etc)?IUI 1: bfp, only made it to 1st beta, ended in ectopic
IUI 2-8: bfn. I should add that my insurance required me to have at least 7 IUI's before going on to IVF
IVF/FET 1 bfn
FET 2: BFP
-When is your due date?According to the websites twin due date is 1/6/17. I'll hopefully find out at my first u/s appointment in 2 weeks
-Anything else you want to share?I'm excited to join this group as I know you ladies are supportive. Thank you for supporting me on my journey
1) Where are you from (whatever you're comfortable sharing)
NY: Westchester county, CT: Fairfield county
2) What's your career/profession?
Nurse
3) How did you & DH (or partner) meet?
We met when I used to go to study groups during nursing school.
I will try to catch up on all the posts shortly. It's really nice joining you ladies.
Hi ladies! I guess I'll go ahead and jump on over here since I had my second beta yesterday!
I'm definitely glad to be on this board with you lovelies that I already know.
-What road did you take to get your BFP (ie IUI, IFV, etc)? We tried two rounds of IUI, but with MFI we ended up moving to IVF with ICSI and assisted hatching in January. ER was February 17th, FET was May 11th.
-When is your due date? The nurse gave me a due date of January 27th.
-Anything else you want to share? I am so so so grateful for these boards and all you wonderful people! And also, I have been experiencing slight cramping on and off since my transfer, which I was assured was normal and quite all right.
