    @SingleGeneMe and @taddesse how did the transfers go today? I hope your embabies thawed out nicely!!!! What are your relaxation plans for the next few days? And recommendations for Netflix binges? 
  • Options
    @PCOSat25 My transfer went great! My embryo thawed perfectly and it was already hatching before they inserted it. This is my second transfer so I felt very chill about it. Afterwards I got an ice cream cone with 2 scoops - it tasted amazing - likely thanks to the diazepam they had me take. I'm really into Terrace House on Netflix, which is a Japanese reality show about young people living together in Tokyo. There are a LOT of episodes. My clinic doesn't recommend bed rest after the first day, but I'll just be taking it easy around the house this weekend. How did your transfer go?

    @kjplaza Good luck tomorrow! 

    @PCOSat25 No itch from me. I made the mistake of doing POAS before my beta and I got a faint positive using a FRER at 9dp5dt and then it got lighter at 10dp5dt, because I had a chemical pregnancy. The positive test gave me false hope, so now I'm too scared to do it! I *might* do one the day of my beta, so I'm not too shocked by the results.

    Well I haven't got the call from the dr yet but I did POAS this morning before going to have my blood drawn. I haven't taken a hpt this early before so I don't know if that's a good line for just 5dp5dt. The most worriesome part for me is when it comes time for the ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat.

    as far as symptoms it's so hard to know what's from all the meds and what could be pregnancy. I have definitely been peeing more frequently, my acne recently exploded and I had relatively clear skin going into the transfer. And a little bit of breast sensitivity/pain which I never have and don't remember even from my first cycle. I also feel hungry more frequently but that could be contributed to being home and around food all day :)

    @FamousAmous thank you!

    RE called BETA came in at 41, for 5dp5dt since most clinics don't test this early I don't have much to compare that number with. As scared as I am for the weeks that come I am trying to focus on being positive and happy in the moment! 

    I cant wait for everyone else that's transferred and transferring soon to get their + betas!

    @kjplaza Congratulations! I think that 41 is a great beta for 5dp5dt! At my clinic they expect to see at least 50-100 at 10dp5dt, so you're right on track!

    I got home from work yesterday and told DH that all I wanted for V-day was to get to take a test early because I thought I was having what I thought might be symptoms (even though I have never had real pg symptoms. He let me and I got my first ever BFP!! I was a little shocked and surprised when I saw the lines so I used a CB digi Week estimator this morning that I had from my TTC days. It came back +++1-2 weeks. I am completely and utterly shocked! Very cautiously optimistic and hoping that one or two of my beans are in there snuggling in tight

    So I'm wondering if am or pm is best for the progesterone shots. The clinic did give a time to take them.

    @Bharvey10 I was told am for progesterone shots but I am also taking progesterone suppositories which are obviously pm. If you are not doing both you could probabaly do the shots at any time during the day.

    @joslynj11 - aww you are so sweet and made my day! Its really the connection that I have made with you ladies that keeps me coming back here... though sometimes its hard when you are one of the few that haven't had success yet. I am not giving up- that is for sure! I just don't know whether it will be with my eggs or donor eggs. Some days I can't imagine not giving it one more try with my eggs.. and then other days I am just so ready for being a mom that I don't care (that much) about the genetics. Hoping my RE has some good advice when we meet on Friday!
