@byrneme thank you! However when I POAS its still very light so hold off for the beta cause the stick will make you wonder if you're seeing things or not!

Thinking of everyone doing their betas over the next couple of days, including me Question - I'm kind of freaking out because I'm having some spotting when I wipe (sorry, TMI). It's very faint and light brown. I've been having cramps and bloating, almost like AF is coming for the last 24 hours or so. I'm on estrogren and PIO and 9d5dt (PGS, FET). Anyone have experience with this? Trying to convince myself that some spotting is normal but I'm still two days away from my beta so obviously this concerns me. I generally spot 5 or so days before AF, also contributing to my freak out, but thought with PIO that wasn't really a possibility?

@byrneme I'm just two days past transfer so I have experienced that yet but from the paperwork my RE gave me and everything I've read spotting is totally normal. Hang in there!
I have been following this thread but didn't join because I was was still waiting for insurance approval. I now have been approved and I went for my lining check today. It was 10 mm and progesterone was 0.2 so I have a planned transfer for this Monday the 21st. I was wondering if I could still join. I love the amount of support you all give to each other!
A little about me: I had a successful Fresh cycle in 2015 which produced a beautiful baby boy this past September. I am 37 and am now transferring my only 2 frozen embryos. If this doesn't work I will have to do another fresh cycle when my clinic opens up in Feb. ( they are doing construction..darn it).
@byrneme I only experienced barely noticeable light pink spotting once at about 7dpt but just like @HopefulLily my ppwk and everything I've read seems to regard it as normal. As for the AF type cramps, I've been having those since about 5dpt and they still come and go. And while I'm no expert, I think the possibility of a period/breakthrough bleed isn't likely given the amount of progesterone and estrogen your taking.
@blairbecky78 Welcome and GL on your transfer next week!!
@ChristinaV2015 good luck tomorrow! I don't have to start the vaginal tablets until after my first beta, then it's 3 times a day, and while I'm looking good forward to a positive beta not looking forward to those!
@ChristinaV2015 aww they dont give u pic? @HopefulLily yaya 2ww buddies my beta is on the 28 eek and dont know if i will test before im scared to lol and urs?
@Hoping4Success & @HopefulLily great pics! I've included mine too (T=transfer, F=refreeze). It's funny b/c as soon as I walked in and saw the pic of my blasts on the desk, I got so excited b/c I could tell the quality right away. DH and mom had no idea what they were looking at
Congrats to the ladies who finally got their positive @MicronesianMamma@kjplaza@Monica54321 - so happy for you all! And congrats to those who are currently PUPO - finally ready to join you, my transfer is tomorrow! Was starting to think it would never come with how long it took to get my lining to a good place. Sending positive vibes all around!
@Hoping4Success Thanks! They are day 5. They were frozen at day 4 and the pic is the result after being thawed and cultured for an additional 24 hours. Here are my day 4 embryos before they were frozen
@Hoping4Success - Follow the link in the text directly above the pic of the tracker. It won't update the picture, but your info will be accurate in the tracker and show up on the board next time I post anther screen shot.

I can't believe I'm typing this, I'm still in shock. My Beta came back positive and my HCG levels are at 486. I got back for my second Beta on Sunday. I finally POAS after the RE called and STILL expected it to say 'Not Pregnant'. However, there it was, clear as day - Pregnant. I can't believe it.

@JuliaAnn86 we are TWW twins, I had my transfer today as well. Are you going to test before your beta? I haven't decided yet - last time I didn't but then AF came the morning of my beta which was devastating!
Yay, congrats! Glad to have tww buddies!!! I'm terrified to POAS. I've never had a positive.I Iive out of state from my clinic, in the middle of nowhere oklahoma, so I'm actually having my beta drawn at the closest Labcorp to me which is 2 hrs away in Amarillo on 12/01. Are yall going to POAS? Also what is your doctor's protocol for bedrest after transfer?

@blairbecky78 Welcome and GL on your transfer next week!!
Question, is anyone use the Estrace tablets vaginally? it's so gross but my doc is insisting that how I take them twice a day.
AFM tomorrow is my big transfer and the nerves have kicked in!!
I thought I'd share a pic of mine too. They look so different from yours, so interesting to see pictures of embryos isn't it?
