Good luck to you as well! When is your beta? Mine is labor day weekend.

FX for those who got transfers and retrievals today!! Congrats to those with BFP.
I am on day 4 of stims (Gonal-F & Menopur). I had a mishap last night when mixing my menopur and had to throw a vial away because I was so afraid I messed up the amounts. Thankfully they don't think I will need to reorder and if I do it should be covered by insurance, I feel like I wasted a lot of money though. I haven't had too many side effects, only a headache and really tired. Hopefully those are the only ones I have.
Got blood work and ultrasounds today, and the first thing the doctor said to me is "wow we have to be very careful with you because you have a lot of follicles growing". They want me in every other day for blood work and ultrasounds just to monitor because I guess I am at high risk for OHSS. They dropped me down to 75ml of gonal-f. It is looking like my retrieval is going to be next week some time.

So when my embryos thawed one improved and one went slightly less. They were both BB when frozen and today they were AA and BB- hoping one or both decide to stick. My RE gives out spa bags when she gives you your discharge instructions. A nice touch.

@BornReady - what a great beta!! congrats! i have heard some places have you go 3 days later instead of 2, cause i think sometimes the numbers double between 48-72 hours. FX for a high beta!
@sleepyrn - yay! congrats on being PUPO! and on a side note, my eyes are so tired from staring at a computer screen all day at work, that i SWEAR that the note written next to the bottom embryo said "BB-8"...like the droid in star wars!
@lilmissslp & @sleepyrn congratulations!!! Welcome to the waiting game! Thinking sticky thoughts for you ladies!!!
I didn't miss the full bladder this time. My new doctor does a uterian mapping and does the transfer on a empty bladder. I obviously liked it more- who wouldn't? Loo But hopefully it works! I was always very uncomfortable during transfers, but not this time. I barely knew he had the catheter in. They believe that they transfer experience affects the outcome (I personally don't see how but will go with it lol)
@BlueEyedDreamer still staying strong and not testing?? I may not have a beta on Friday... It may be Monday, which would make more sense. I think they check my progesteone and estrogen on Wednesday and Friday. I'm calling tomm to find out. I never had that done before so I think that's why I got it confused with a beta blood draw.

@ADRIANAC1982 mine came back at 30 and the nurse said the Dr would have liked to have seen it over 30, so I'm borderline low at the moment, but they mentioned that it just means my ovaries haven't kicked in and started producing their own progesterone in response to hcg. You're a bit further along than me if I remember so higher makes sense. I'm not sure if there is an upper limit though

@ADRIANAC1982 ha I almost cried on the phone.. I later got an email from my nurse explaining things a bit better which was really good because I spent the afternoon googling everything from hcg levels and progesterone levels to the chinese prediction of gender.. adding to your comment about pineapples, I started craving pineapples about 2dpt but had no idea it was meant to be helpful for implantation till i read someone mention it on message board here.

I am on day 4 of stims (Gonal-F & Menopur). I had a mishap last night when mixing my menopur and had to throw a vial away because I was so afraid I messed up the amounts. Thankfully they don't think I will need to reorder and if I do it should be covered by insurance, I feel like I wasted a lot of money though. I haven't had too many side effects, only a headache and really tired. Hopefully those are the only ones I have.
Got blood work and ultrasounds today, and the first thing the doctor said to me is "wow we have to be very careful with you because you have a lot of follicles growing". They want me in every other day for blood work and ultrasounds just to monitor because I guess I am at high risk for OHSS. They dropped me down to 75ml of gonal-f. It is looking like my retrieval is going to be next week some time.

I didn't miss the full bladder this time. My new doctor does a uterian mapping and does the transfer on a empty bladder. I obviously liked it more- who wouldn't? Loo But hopefully it works!
I was always very uncomfortable during transfers, but not this time. I barely knew he had the catheter in. They believe that they transfer experience affects the outcome (I personally don't see how but will go with it lol)
@sleepyrn love the spa touch!!!
@ADRIANAC1982 congrats!!!!! Your beta number seems great!!!

I may not have a beta on Friday... It may be Monday, which would make more sense. I think they check my progesteone and estrogen on Wednesday and Friday. I'm calling tomm to find out. I never had that done before so I think that's why I got it confused with a beta blood draw.

sorry @Stars2016 take care of yourself
@ADRIANAC1982 mine came back at 30 and the nurse said the Dr would have liked to have seen it over 30, so I'm borderline low at the moment, but they mentioned that it just means my ovaries haven't kicked in and started producing their own progesterone in response to hcg. You're a bit further along than me if I remember so higher makes sense. I'm not sure if there is an upper limit though

adding to your comment about pineapples, I started craving pineapples about 2dpt but had no idea it was meant to be helpful for implantation till i read someone mention it on message board here.
