  • @AandDM2014 CONGRATS!!! Amazing!! Hope you continue to see those numbers rise! H&H 9 months!!  <3 hope I can follow suit tomorrow!

    @ashley3740 agree with pp. OHSS can manifest or get worse with pregnancy, however. But since you're losing weight, it's not likely you have OHSS. From what my doctor said, you would start to gain weight, not lose. I think it's too early to expect a BFP on an HPT, so I wouldn't worry too much!! FX for you!!

    @gatorlorit LONGEST.WEEK.EVER. Now that we are almost there, I'm freaking out a bit. I haven't had any symptoms other than cramping (for sure thought AF was coming today) and sore boobs. Oh and I'm a Rollercoaster of emotions. All of which usually happen before AF. So I'm really not sure what to expect tomorrow. All I know is that my lining couldn't have been any thicker, our embryo was nice and healthy, and i couldn't have been more cautious abt my health these last 10 days! Letting these positive thoughts get me through the next 24 hours. Hope you are staying sane!! FX we both get good news tomorrow!!!

    @MsOhanaJ @thucks GL TOMORROW!!!! How are y'all feeling?!

  • Hello. Just did our first iui with Femara and Ovidrel on 8/4, how do you survive the 2ww? I do my test on 8/18. I've had slight abdominal cramping, lower back pain and hot flashes like crazy. Trying to stay busy and keep myself distracted. 
  • @ale9687 Thanks!

    @gatorlorit Thanks! Good luck tomorrow!!

    @LittleSunshine Thanks! I can't help but compare it to my previous pregnancy where I was over 500 at 9dp5dt, but maybe a bit lower will be better this time around!

    @Happydays13 Thanks! I hope you tested too early. That is why I don't buy hpts anymore!

    @ashley3740 Wow, that's great for only 7dp! I get what you mean about not getting too exited thanks to previous losses. I'm the same way!

    @MarlyHC Thanks!

    Nurse this morn gave me some hope - said whenever they see progesterone levels on the higher end of the range, like mine, that usually means it's because of a pregnancy. FX she is right!!! Lots of love to @MsOhanaJ @thucks @gatorlorit this morning!!

  • @AandDM2014 and @ashley3740 Congrats on the BFP!!! 

    @babylonghorn16, @MsOhanaJ and @gatorlorit GL today!! I'm anxiously dying over here. I also got up way early this morning and had bw at 7 this morning. I had the choice of doing it at my clinic 45 min away or here in town but when I do it in town they have a courier that delivers the sample to my clinic in the afternoon then I get the results after closing so I opted for the drive so I can get results around noon. It's funny cause I'm also checking my phone a million times and I treated myself to a decaf frape at Starbucks on my way to work this morning. 

    This is killing me cause I'm having symtoms but I still have that what if it's just the meds or my mind? I'm exhausted the heat is killing me and those AF full/crampish feelings in my abdomen. I don't do fish well and last pregnancy I couldn't take my DHA pills cause the fish taste was the only thing that made me sick. I picked up fish for DH Sat and almost puked all the way home. That smell was soooo strong and blah. I'm really hoping this is all really good signs and not just my head.

  • My doctor just called. The second I heard her voice, I knew it was bad news.   My beta came back at 11.  She said to continue on my meds, and they will recheck to see if it goes up on Wednesday, but she wasn't hopeful   I'm on day 12, so I know it should be much higher.  She said she has seen one other case where it can recover, but those aren't really great odds.  Since this is my second chemical pregnancy, she will order some chromosome testing for my DH and I. 

    I'm crushed, and can't even turn to my usual pity party ingredients of wine and bubble bath just yet. I joked around with her that I can't, and she said wait till Wednesday.  So she's not really expecting a turn around either.
