@HopeSIN That's awesome!!!! Did you transfer multiples???
afm
i spent the whole weekend trying not to be crazy but being crazy anyway.... yesterday at some point I peed on every stick in the house! Lol (literally 6 or 7 tests throughout the day!!)
today I'm 7dp5dt (and 14 dp hcg trigger) and seeing lines.... only problem is my trigger never went to stark white. Basically I won't know anything until beta on Wednesday

lol

Lurking***
@dragonette505 I kept checking in this weekend hoping you were going to post good news. Fx that its a real line and not your trigger.

HopeSIN · April 2017

@dragonette505: we only transferred one embryo, so that's why I was even more surprised about the very high beta! But I'll take it, haha :-)
I totally understand that you're going crazy with doing multiple daily tests - I'm guilty of that as well!! Wouldn't it mean though that even if the line right now comes from the trigger, if it gets darker it would be from a pregnancy, so keep testing ; -)
Also, Wednesday is really around the corner. I'll keep my fingers crossed! Do update us!!!

dragonette505 · April 2017

@wabash15 I know! I couldn't post because I was too busy peeing! lol My DH refuses to let either of us be hopeful yet.

@HopeSIN wow! That's high for one! So happy its a solid number!
afm... hard to tell if any are darker because I keep waking up at odd hours so my fmu ranges from 1:30 am to 4:30 am... I've not once taken a test at the same time for the past 4 days lol.

@Hoping10 I am so sorry to hear about your results and hope that you are able to take time for yourself. Please know that I am thinking of you and hoping for nothing but the best outcome for you in your upcoming cycle.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone and also the feedback about doing the early POAS.

Well after I wrote my first post I simply could not help myself and POAS on Friday morning, and it was positive! My first beta was scheduled for today, but my RE said I could have it done on Friday and my first beta on 8dp5dt was 112. I had my second beta today and it was 320 (11dp5dt). My RE said it could be more than one, but it is hard to know at this point. The first ultrasound is next Wednesday. The state of shock has still not stopped and the next couple weeks are not going go by quickly.

Nikkilegare · April 2017

Just got results for my 3rd beta! Soo it went from 231 10dp5dt
571 12dp5dt
5,457 19p5dt

I have to schedule an ultrasound for my 7 week and then my doctor will discharge me to a regular ob! Still in shock

dragonette505 · April 2017

@elmela That's so awesome!!!!

@Nikkilegare Yay! All of these awesome betas!!!

liljoy-2 · April 2017

@HopeSIN
@elmela
@Nikkilegare
Great betas ladies! yohoo!! I had my 2nd one and it's 2,200 after 13 days. I'll take it, ha!
@dragonette505 If you are 7dp5dt and you see a line, chances are it IS a good line!! Trigger would be totally out by now!!! Keep testing, good luck and keep us posted.

Question for all the BFPs: at what point is your 1st US scheduled? Mine is at 6.5 weeks and it freaks me out, since I thought the first one could be at 5 weeks to see the sac but they said nope.

HopeSIN · April 2017

@Elmela: congratulations! That's great news!!!
@Nikkilegare: great beta values! Congrats!
@liljoy: my doc did an ultrasound last Thursday, which was 4w2d and he couldn't see anything. I'll have another one coming Monday, which will be 5w+6d and it's just to see if the embryo implanted in the right spot (uterus, not fallopian tube). I think there'll be another one at 8 weeks to see if we can detect a heart beat.
How about you guys?

elmela · April 2017

@liljoy: thanks and congrats on that impressive beta!!! How many did you transfer?

I have my first US 20dp5dt (5wk +4d) and I think that is similar to @HopeSIN where they are looking for the implantation location. Second US is supposed to be 7-10 days after the first one (~7wks) and that one is to look for the heartbeat. It sounds like every practice does things slightly differently.

Stay strong @dragonette505 , one more day. I am thinking of you and hoping tomorrow is an amazing day for you.

dragonette505 · April 2017

@liljoy... I really hope so! I'm starting to think its real.... just so scared I will get awful results tomorrow and all of this hope will make it worse! ugh! Why cant it be tomorrow already???

dragonette505 · April 2017

@elmela Thank you so much! Its so hard to be patient! ugh!!!

dragonette505 · April 2017

@HopeSIN I feel like isn't 4 weeks super early to see anything? I thought most ultrasounds were done after 5 or 6 (because I think you only hear a heartbeat around 6 or so...?)

liljoy-2 · April 2017

@elmela Thanks. I transferred one and I'm surprised of such a big jump in beta, I hope all is good.
@dragonette505 All the luck in the world tomorrow, we are holding our breath for your beta, so you can join the good side

@HopeSIN I also had hcg double every day, not every 48hrs. But I transferred just one, I wonder what the deal is...

Regarding the US, yes, that's what I understand, that heart beat can be detected after 6w but the sac can be seen at 5w. My clinic probably doesn't want to bother with 2 US for me given my beta jumped so high, but I'm still worried until I know it's in the right place. I think I'm going to write the doc to tell her that I'd like to come in soon for my peace of mind.

wabash15 · April 2017

@dragonette505 wishing you GL today!

dragonette505 · April 2017

Just got my beta back 207... back in on Friday to see if its doubling properly!!
But for today... I've got my BFP!

elmela · April 2017

YAYY!!! @dragonette505 That is so exciting - congrats a millions times.

FX that the good news and positive outcomes stick with everyone throughout their first trimesters!

dragonette505 · April 2017

Thank you!!!

Lin&say · April 2017

Yay! So happy for you @dragonette505!!

liljoy-2 · April 2017

@dragonette505 That's truly amazing!! So happy for you, you got your well deserved positive and it's inspiring that it can happen with perseverance.

Nikkilegare · April 2017

@dragonette505 yayyy!!! Congratulations! So so exciting!!

liljoy-2 · April 2017

@dragonette505 How was your 2nd beta?
AFM, I had an early US because I'm high risk of ectopic, and I could see one sac, eek. Next US is for the heartbeat, FX for good result for all of us here!

HopeSIN · April 2017

@liljoy Wowwww! Congratulations!!! That's a great next milestone. At how many weeks/days is your first US for the heartbeat?

@dragonette505 That is great news! Congratulations!!!

@elmela - yes, my implantation screening is next Monday, which will be 5w6d. When will yours be?

liljoy-2 · April 2017

@HopeSIN US for heartbeat at 6w5d, eeek

HopeSIN · April 2017

Quick question to all who've got a BFP so far: how are you calculating your week+day progression of the pregnancy?
I used one of those calculators online and since my 5d transfer was on 19/3, I put in the ovulation date, which I calculated at 19 March minus 5 days (since embryo was 5 days old), which is 14/3. According to that, I'm at 5w5d today.

Does that sound about right to you guys? How did you calculate it?

dragonette505 · April 2017

@liljoy My second Beta was 619! I go for us on Wednesday!! So nervous! Awesome you saw your gestational sac!!
@HopeSIN lots of calculators now let you calculate from day of transfer. I'm calculating from day of transfer since my trigger day was CD 18. It throws my gestational date off (they are always figuring from a standard ovulation at CD 14.

HopeSIN · April 2017

@dragonette - congrats to the great beta! How many weeks/days will you be on Wednesday? Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll get your great news confirmed!

I had my ultrasound today. The baby implanted right where it should. It's measuring perfectly the 6weeks it is and as a little bonus we could even could see the heartbeat, which was very unexpected to see it so early. Even the doctor was surprised. The heartbeat was 150bpm. So I'm really very relieved to hear these news.

liljoy-2 · April 2017

@HopeSIN That's truly amazing and sweet!

Any symptoms, ladies? I think I got the short straw, feeling nauseous all the time, which impairs my ability to eat properly. I also have some leg cramps, dizziness and very light brownish discharge...

Lin&say · April 2017

We got to see our little one today and hear his/her heartbeat! Ahh so amazing! We're measuring right on track, so that's a huge relief.

@HopeSIN Ahh what an awesome bonus for you! Glad your little one is doing well!

@liljoy I think I jinxed myself bc I didn't have any symptoms at all besides being tired. Got to 6 weeks and now I have nausea all day, bloating, and indigestion. Let's hope there's relief for us soon lol

HopeSIN · April 2017

@liljoy: yes, lots of symptoms - very similar to yours! Can you still sleep well or you also wake up often each night?

@Lin&say: that's fantastic news!!! You must've been so excited. How far along are you now?

To all ladies dealing with really horrible 24/7 nausea: so I (luckily) don't have to throw up but I'm running to the toilet in panic once every hour cause I'm sure it's gonna happen...I'm so so nauseous that I can't even sleep (like I wake up at night and I'm so sick that I feel like everything around me is turning). So I'm super tired AND super nauseous at work, plus very dizzy (I always have very low blood pressure). How are you guys keeping up at your respective jobs? I had to go home today at around 3pm and did home office for the rest of the day cause I simply couldn't handle it anymore.

Any tips and advise much appreciated!

Nikkilegare · April 2017

@hopesin @liljoy Ahh I am in the same nausea boat!! I haven't thrown up at all but I had to take the day off
of work yesterday because I felt like I was going to throw up at any given minute. I can't look in my refrigerator because it makes me nauseous. Saltine crackers have been my new favorite food.

Also, smelling EVERYTHING.

@lin&say yayyyy I was thinking about you all day yesterday!! I get to go to my regular OB for bloodwork today and then Friday I go in for the ultrasound!! Can't wait!!!

liljoy-2 · April 2017

Yeah, nausea is getting more random now for me. It used to be only in the evenings, now I wake up in the morning feeling like this, too. I can't think or see food. Whenever I get a window of feeling ok, I know I have to eat.
It's tough to keep up with a regular schedule...

Lin&say · April 2017

Omg girls, I hear you. The all-day nausea struggle is real. I wish I had tips to help out but I'm struggling with the same thing. I keep thinking that tons of women get pregnant and go to work so I need to suck it up, but I'm on my feet all day with not many sitting breaks so feeling like I'm going to barf at any minute is not very fun. I had to leave work early today. My dr prescribed me diclegis...have you guys tried that? I'm going to wait to try it until the weekend bc I hear it makes you really drowsy.

@hopesin I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow

@Nikkilegare Yay! Can't wait for your update on Friday! It's so amazing getting to hear that little heartbeat ❤️

liljoy-2 · April 2017

Are you ladies on the Pregnancy after IF/1st trimester board?

dragonette505 · April 2017

@liljoy I have only posted in my bmb (Dec '17) so far... but planning to poke around there as well... was wondering if the other ladies had already moved on to bmb's

HopeSIN · April 2017

Advice for all the nausea-plagued girls: I read that for severe morning nausea it's best to set your alarm 15min prior to your regular wakeup time. Have something ready to eat on your bed side table and then take it easy for 15 minutes till the actual wakeup time. It really does help me!

How frequent do you guys have ultrasound checkups now in the first trimester?

Lin&say · April 2017

@Nikkilegare How was your appointment today?! I keep stalking lol

HopeSIN · April 2017

Happy Easter to everyone! I hope you're all doing well! @Lin&say: I only just now realised that line in your signature -> "5/16 - 11/16 - Life / WTFing / Pity Party / Saving $" That is absolutely hilarious!!!!

)))

Nikkilegare · April 2017

Happy Easter!!
heartbeat was 141 beats per minute. Officially "graduated" from Boston IVF! (For now!) due date is December 1!
Which other boards are you ladies on?

Lin&say · April 2017

@Nikkilegare Yay! Glad to hear all is well! I'm surprised you graduated so early. When will your first OB appt be? I keep meaning to post over on the Pregnant after IF board but that would require me to get on the computer and getting on the computer would require me staying awake when I get home from work
