Hello everyone! I'd like to join in. I had my transfer today, and my beta will be on 10/26! We did a 5dt, but unfortunately had no blasts so we transferred two "cavitating morulas." Not too sure what that means, waiting to speak more to my re about it. For now, I am celebrating being PUPO!
I recognize a few of you all and look forward to hearing more good news from everyone! congrats to all of the BFPs!!
I just had my 2nd IUI this morning so I am joining you all as an October tester. Beta scheduled for 10/28. I added myself to the tracker. Fx for all of those testing in the next week!
P.S. I love the percents on the bottom of the tracker. I'm a math teacher so it made me happy to see it.

@omarismyhomeboy - Very sorry to hear that. I know you knew it was probably coming, but doesn't make it any easier. Hope you get some peace and your WTF appt goes well. If you can get a FET in during Nov - come see lots of familiar faces over there.

@srh18 Thanks! I will not be testing early. I hold onto hope too much and never fully believe the negative so it just messes with me. I like knowing for sure yes or no much better even though it's hard to wait.

Hi everyone! I'd like to join in here too. My beta is October 25th. This was my first IVF cycle and I had a fresh transfer on the 12th.
Good luck to those testing soon, and hugs to all who have gotten BFNs this month.

Second beta scheduled for Wednesday and my nurse told me they will def keep a close eye on me with the previous CP. I am happy for that, kinda eases my mind a bit.
So, its faint but its definitely there. Two lines on the test....I'm guess I'm pregnant! It doesn't feel real yet, but I'm more excited than I can ever remember being. I did two just to be sure. Calling my doctor as soon as they open to schedule follow up.
About a month ago, after my first failed IUI, I was in Target and saw this cute stuffed animal and just started crying. My husband pulled me aside and asked what was wrong and I told him that I thought it was a cute stuffed alligator for a baby. Unbeknownst to me he went back to the store and bought the stuffed toy, and gave it to me this morning as a surprise when the pregnancy test came back positive. A lot of happy tears today.
@Monica54321 can you please add me to the tracker thing? I transferred 2 "strong/beautiful" embryos on 10/14 fresh transfer, Beta testing on 10/28!
@mrsdrwombat that is the sweetest story! CONGRATS to you and your hubby! made me tear up a little bit too....
How are you all feeling!? Anyone think it's possible to feel implantation cramps?
Me: 35 DOR, low AMH = 0.694, and fibroids DH: 41 Married 10/25/2014 / TTC since 05/2015 1st IUI 05/05/16 Letrozole 7.5 mg CD 3-11 + Ovidrel = BFN 2nd cycle on Letrozole 7.5 mg CD 3-11 + TI = BFN 3rd cycle on Letrozole but did our 2nd IUI on 07/01/16. 10 mg CD 3-11 + Ovidrel = BFN Onto IVF! Started Lupron on 09/24. Added Gonal F and hcg injections 09/26...... Trigger 10/07. EggRetrieval 10/09. Starting PIO, Estrace, and Medrol 10/10/16. Transferred 2 "strong/beautiful" embryos 10/14/16. Beta 10/28/16 = 998 mIU/mL = BFP with one baby, but miscarried at 9w5d. D&C on 12/06/17 and started taking BCPs 01/10/17 for the next IVF Cycle, which officially began stims on 02/18/17. Fast Forward: we got 4 fertilized embryos from that cycle. Transferred one fresh, but it did not stick, so we have 3 frozen embryos currently. Went in to the fertility clinic in July to talk about a FET of one of those three frozen embryos, but a new fibroid was discovered, and I was not cleared to do the transfer until I had fibroid removal surgery. 08/11/17 had a mini-laparotomy / myomectomy to remove 6 fibroids, largest sized were the size of golf-balls! Once we were cleared to go about our normal lives (sex!) I got pregnant NATURALLY but it was a chemical pregnancy. The very next month we had another BFP and here we are now with a baby on the way! A TOTAL AND COMPLETE MIRACLE! Watch our YouTube Channel Vlog Here!
So guys I'm really nervous. My beta was only 78. The office said it was a fine number for 14 dpo and I'm retesting tomorrow to make sure it doubles. I was just hoping for something a lot more so I'm trying to stay optimistic. I took another pregnancy test this morning and the line seemed a lot darker, but I still worry.
@mrsdrwombat - 78 is a "good" number, but it's tough, especially when you see other ladies with BFPs coming in with higher 1st Betas, to relax and enjoy the BFP. I'll be keeping my FX for your 2nd Beta!

As for cramps, I've had very small cramps for the last week. I suppose it could be implantation. I didn't get any spotting.
