BlackRose- Thanks! I'm going to retake my bloodwork with the specialist on Sunday morning so hopefully my numbers go up and it was just too early... good luck with your blood test on Monday!!! A two week wait is hard enough, hope they don't start making me do three week waits moving forward.
@relax&smile2 hopefully it's just too early! I hope your numbers go up!
Anyone ever test out their trigger shot? I got a shot of generic HCG (10,000 units) on 1/12 in the am) and as I'm testing it out I still have a positive hpt today (but the line was lighter than yesterday). I know it's possible for it to take 14 days to get out of your system, but I'm curious what others have experienced. My official hpt date is 1/28.
@carterh33 trigger out of my system in like 5 days. Good luck to you!!!

CP #1- due April 2017 lost 5.5 weeks cp #2- due May 2017 lost at 4.5 weeks iUI #1- BFN IUI #2-BFN IVF#1- transfer 2- BFP! Due October 2017 c/p#3 lost at 3.5 weeks
Did my bloodwork today. Beta went from a 10 to a 32. I hear they want it to double every 48 hours so I think that is good. Problem is I have really long cycles and they don't know when I ovulated so they are not sure if that is a good number or not. I won't have missed a period until thursdayish. Still in limbo but a little more hopeful. Going back to test in a few days....
I'm back in the TWW this month since we did IUI on Friday morning and I definitely O'd that night (clomid O is NO joke!). We planned to BD the night of and after IUI, but I was so bloated/painful from O that I couldn't bear it. A little worried that we are banking solely on IUI, although we did BD two days before IUI.
I go back to RE to check progesterone 7DPO (this Friday), hoping for higher levels, which would mean the clomid fixed our "sub-optimal" levels.

Dx: low progesterone, possible DOR - officially "unexplained"

@PoeMasque What do you mean by higher levels? Last time 7DPO did you have low levels?
i have been self diagnosing every twinge I feel thinking it's a cramp and I'm getting my period. Ugh I hate being in limbo. I thought a BFP was supposed to be just that. Turns out it was just a LSP (little skinny positive)
Well I'm out. Just got my blood test results back ...BFN. Looks like I'll be starting round 2 of clomid next week probably. Good luck to those still waiting !!
@relax&smile2 my CD21 progesterone on unmediated cycle was 7.9, RE said it was high enough to O (hence a pos OPK every month), but too low for a mature egg. He thinks clomid will fix it, so now that we did a clomid cycle we will see if it did the trick!

I tested out my trigger with having two bfn's yesterday and Monday. Today I took a dollar tree hpt and saw a super faint line. I took a regular (wall mart) test and got a faint bfp as well. My RE's office told me not to test til Saturday, but I'm going to call and ask if they'll give me a beta (I hope they will and won't be too mad that I broke the rules
@relax&smile2 they are different. progesterone at 7DPO basically tells them if you ovulated or not. In my case, it's high enough (over 5) that I do ovulate, but too low (below 12) for it to have been a "good ovulation", which they told me means the egg isn't mature. HCG isnt produced post O, unless you have an egg implanted. It's not usually part of the diagnostic testing they do in IF (that I'm aware of)

PoeMasque- My clinic posts my results on a website and the one 7DPO says progesterone higher than 12 and the one 14DPO says HCG beta and that was the low number but still above 5 that rose. I dunno.
Carterh33- Any update?? They say any line, no matter how faint, is a positive.
Brooklyngirl18- I agree!!! My two week wait has become a three week wait because of my long cycle. Sucks so much!!
Does anyone get phantom symptoms? I keep feeling weird stuff in my tummy and sometimes I think my period is coming and other times I think maybe it's implanting and stretching. It's driving me insane. I feel it the most when I am lying down. I kee waking up in the middle of the night. And every time I have discharge I freak out that it's my period. My big beta to see if my numbers are progressing is Friday. Just have to make it 36 more hours, plus a few extra hours until they call me with the results.
@relax&smile2 you are too nice for asking for an update! I went in for my beta this afternoon so I hope to get the results tomorrow! I took another test this afternoon after holding it for 4hrs. I think I saw a line on a CB that was super faint(DH is trying to not get his hopes so he's wary of admitting he saw a line). Of course I'll POSA tomorrow morning
My symptoms are driving me crazy too!!! I have cramping that sometimes feels like af but other times feels dull/achy and some lower back pain. However I am on pregesterone and did take a trigger 13 days ago so idk if it's real or if it's the meds. Bbs started to get more sore too.
Update: still no beta results, but I poas this morning and I didn't see anything. However there was a weird white thing on the testing window that I hadn't seen before i guess we'll see what the bet results say.
I think I've lost it. Every time I feel anything I run to the bathroom to check if it's my period. Work thinks I'm nuts. 24 more hours until my beta HCG blood test. I feel like even if it's a good number though I still won't be happy. I am so jealous of people who are naive and haven't experienced infertility.
@BlackRose - I'm sorry. Grr. @carterh33 - FX!!! @relax&smile2 - I'd be running to the bathroom every 5 min too. I am not just paranoid about the phantom symptoms at the end of my TWW, I get anxious around ovulation too... So nerve-wracking!
Has anyone done the counseling sessions at their fertility center? I have been considering it. I have sooo much anxiety and fear. My husband tries Burbank he just doesn't get it. And google is the enemy... I wonder how much it costs.
Beta was less than 1 i must of had some crazy evap lines. RE said to test again Saturday just in case, but I doubt it will be anything since I'm 14dpt today. Thank you all for the well wishes though! Hopefully AF will start soon so maybe next month!
@carterh33 ugh, so sorry. It's definitely possible you had a cp.
@relax&smile2 any HCG over 3 is considered positive, but (from my experience) if it's under 10 they usually prepare you for CP or early miscarriage. FX for high numbers tomorrow!

@PoeMasque I agree with the possibility of a cp. except that I'm on ba, the strongest strength heparin, progesterone, and a special pre natal so idk how that could happen with all the meds I'm taking?!
PoeMasque- I have been doing a lot of googling on cp lately. If it was a cp, I don't think there is anything you could have done to prevent it. Something would have been wrong with the egg that was fertilized.
I gave my blood at 8am. Staring at my phone waiting for it to ring to tell me if I am pregnant or cp. I feel like i am going to throw up I am so nervous. Maybe it's bad news and they are waiting to call...
@relax&smile2 you are absolutely right, nothing you can do - or could have done - about a cp. really most mc's really. It's the curse of the EPT that we even know about them most of the time anyway.

I'm out this cycle ladies. My period came right on schedule. I'll be heading in for my baseline sono in the next couple of days. I'm just hoping everything is fine, that there are no surprise cysts or anything. Then I'll be back on Clomid for hopefully the last time! See you in the February boards
I've been posting in the January IUI but saw this and maybe this can help make the wait more bearable with others in the same boat! Only 5DPO and having a hard time being patient until HPT on 2/7. It was my first IUI so a little extra hope and excitement this time around. No symptoms which I'm thankful for because it only serves to make my mind go crazy!
Momifbysea- FX!!!! Waiting is the worst. My "symptoms" started a few days before I was allowed to test. So hard to distinguish between period and pregnancy pains....
Even after the negative test Saturday I told myself I'm not fully out until AF comes. Well, I'm officially out and AF is here. FX to the rest of you! Hopefully next month!
