  • @JaeJayStark hey great update that's amazing!!  Love hearing ur pnut is on target! I remember when u first got laid off and like we all said it's all gonna fall into place...have a great interview!!  Where have u been volunteering? That's so awesome!!

    @Medicallyblonde makes me so happy seeing ur update!! Praying that Lil one continues to get stronger with you everyday!! When is your next us?
    fellow tribe member :)


    Im not super religious but am traditional and celebrate the holidays.  Especially this time of year, I went to temple and felt like I was still praying for the same thing just a Lil different. (TW my twins should've been a few months so it was hard BUT I kept reminding myself I have my baby with me just in a different way!!)
    im sure the forum is ready for me to get bac to the other side  :D. It's crazy you go through so many cycles you really feel like you know everyone.
    im so glad I found this site as no one can ever understand what you're going through.  My mom can't even look at the needles.  My brother saw a shot and was like "you're not doing that here right."  Everyone can feel bad but until ur really in it u don't get it AND THE WORRY, OMG!!! We literally know fertilization from day one.  Those ppl that don't know they're pregnant till like 4months...they'll never know how lucky they were. All that stress they didn't have to go through!!  I never use to be such a worrier and I feel
    like that all that I am and I hate it!!

  • @Hopeful_mom I sure hope so!!! I'm only on suppositories 3 times a day and prenatals of course. Crazy- I had a friend/roommate who literally didn't know she was pregnant until she was 5 months. She religiously took her bc too. Crazy. The wait is insane.... I completely agree with you. We are warriors! ;)

  • I'm officially PUPO! Of course my bladder was too full so I had to pee twice and then after transfer they made me pee in a bed pan. That was a fun added experience. Haha! We requested the strongest girl embryo but it turned out she was the strongest embryo overall so they would have picked her anyway. Now heading home to rest.

    hey!!  mean so much - thank u!!  hoping ur lil princess gets as strong as your prince cooking up in there!  

    @HottLemonade2886 ; woohoo - congrats on being pupo!!!!  PASP!!!  so exciting!!  I like that they gave you a bed pan I would've loved that!!  Hope you will be taking it easy the next few days!!

    FuzzyDust you're funny!  I was at the RE for like hours today I was like come on people, i know you're going to call me while i'm on the train and lose my signal...which of coarse they did.. :D Can't wait for your tomorrow!!!!  they shouldve had you on today!!!

    AFM:  2nd Beta is in 246 whoo hoo!!!  Thrilled that it didn't just double but tripled, thats my baby!!  3rd beta on monday!!  I've been hurting as we all know so I waited a long time to see my RE today which I was to do regardless as I had very MINOR spotting last night.  Tried not to stress out and post it everywhere :D ...BUT while carrying my twins I never had any spotting of anything so I was a lil terrified to say the least.  Need to move past what was and just try and live this pregnancy!!  I wish we were at US already!!  My prog dropped a lil to 32.5 but its still ok.

  • Hopeful_mom - Horrraaaaayyyy for tripling Beta!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome news! See, the little bean was just slow to find a perfect spot to attach to! Do you know when your u/s date is?

    AFM: I got a message from my RE nurse today. They don't have any procedures scheduled for the weekend, so I won't know my Beta results till Monday morning  :( Which probably means that my 2nd beta won't be until Tue or so.
    I responded to the message with my news about positive hpt, curious to see if they'll respond to that.

  • FuzzyDust I wanted to love and dislike ur post.  Why didn't they just have you come in today?  How many days are you past transfer?  UGH I"m so annoyed for you as I know how I feel about these betas.  I go back in on monday for beta and hopefully get to schedule an US then woohoo!!!  Looking at the calendar I think the earliest they will schedule it for is Oct 11/12th....is it november yet  :D

  • Holls214, I don't think the regular doctor would care about that, as the only reason the tests done so early in pregnancy is because of IF. And since getting the result 2 days later doesn't technically change anything (besides my crazy nerves). :/

    Hopeful_mom, I think they have 10-days-post-transfer policy, so since the transfer was on the 20th, tomorrow is the day  :# I don't think I saw anyone on this forum had to wait for 2 days for the results!!! My very small hope is that the lab will release the results to my online profile right away, but I think the doctors see it first and need to press some button to release to me. The good news is that we close on a new house purchase today (woooo-hooo!!!!!!!!), so we'll be busy moving over the weekend :)
    Time can't go fast enough through all of this....

    @Hopeful_mom Yes! I did get started in IVF right about that time! I teach horseback riding lessons as volunteering. I teach 3-10 year olds. Congrats on a great beta! I am beyond happy for you! I've read that spotting is totally normal so try not to stress.

  • @Hopeful_mom I'm excited for you tomorrow. I have a great feeling for you!!!

    AFM- I have been getting positives for 3 days but it's still so so early so I don't know... ;) I'm at least thankful to see a positive for once ever. I'm just afraid it's still my trigger. We shall see.

  • @cystal321 hi :smile: how's it going?

    @hopefulmom hello doing waiting for next u/s on Tuesday. My father in law passed this past w/end so it's been pretty somber. I've been having cramps & very tired. How are you?

    @Holls214 yeah for positives but definitely wait for beta to confirm. I didn't even tell hubby I took hpt waited for beta results. Let it be your secret (oh & ours lol)


  • Holls214 your 5 or 6dpt?  when is your beta AND lastly how dark are the positives?

    Magallyta I'm so sorry for your loss especially when this is suppose to be such a happy time, i can't imagine.  Is your DH with you or is family?  It has to be such a hard time, I"m so very sorry!  Being pregnant is all about being tires as your body has to adjust.  When is your next appt?  I got tomorrow for my 3rd beta so i'm a lil anxious to say the least.  My vag is still killing me, its over a week already, I'm just really hoping that I will feel some relief soon.  On friday they told me i could use some vaseline for my inner bits a lil if you will so i'm not on fire every time I go to the bathroom, not easy to say the least.  I feel myself not drinking as much water just so i wont go which really isn't good either.

  • @hopefulmom thank you. For past 2 weeks, DH has been @ hospital taking care of his dad & now they are taking care of services, financials etc. I have a 4yr old so I've been doing it on my own plus working full time. Ok vent over, my father in law us resting peacefully after battle cancer. 

    Just curious, so the suppositories are causing the burn why the supo over the shot?

    @Magallyta I'm so sorry for your loss... sending thoughts and prayers to you. 
    @Hopeful_mom sorry you are still in that situation. Argh. Hopefully it will go away soon. Here's the pic from this morning. Day 5. TW*** 





    TTC 4 years. 7 failed IUI's with either Clomid, Femara and/or Trigger Shots. Started IVF journey in February 2017. Polyps removed in May. 1st IVF Transfer September 26th. BFP. Expected due date 6/14/18. Baby boy born 5/25/18 at 6 lb 9 oz. My bundle of joy. 
  • Holls214 thats clearly a positive, darker then mine was ;)  is it getting lighter or darker i've never tested a trigger out.  I'm nervous about it all!

    @Magallyta I'm glad he's at piece but it still doesn't make the loss any easier.  You're human and doing alot and really handling it well!  We're all here for you, vent away you're allowed!  Keep up the good work mama!!  I was taking the crinone 2x since starting prep so it was 11 days total before i just couldn't take the pain anymore and knew I needed to stop.  I went from taking the PIO from every 3rd day to every other to every day!  I was wondering if it was the PIO but its definitely the crinone.  I Have a sensitive vag and 2x a day of that stuff was just too much for me.  I had a fresh transfer about a year ago just once a day and i didn't react this way.  Hopefully I'll feel some relief soon!  And can stop all the meds in a couple months!

  • @Holls214 yay that dark line looking good!! I did a digital one...

    @hopefulmom thank you appreciate it. It's been a rough past few days as I needed to keep " my needs" in check & make sure my husband is ok. That sucks you have a sensitive vag. Like you said hopefully it will all be over. You're next beta is coming up? 



  • Just got the call 3rd beta 1308
    I don't think I could've asked for better I'm thrilled!!

    the nurse originally seemed very quite and sad at first when she spoke and was giving me a heart attack like it was bad news. Which I told her so I needed to breathe and then let her continue....she really freaked me out.

    prog dropped a lil more to 27.5 and E2 to 197 she said that everything looks great.  Is our E2 suppose to be higher??

    First US is scheduled for 10/16 ugh so far away...

  • JaeJayStark - hello neighbor from Seattle :) I'm in the area too.
    Holls214 - woo-hoo for the hpt line!!!
    @Hopeful_mom - when is your next Beta/Ultrasound? And how is vagina doing? :D

    I've been out for a few days. We got our new home keys on Friday and have been moving the essentials over the weekend. The rest will be moved by professional movers next weekend. The new house is a new construction, so no internet for a while there (only internet is at work for me right now). I'm trying not to lift anything heavy, and DH is really careful with me too, but it's definitely been an intense weekend and my lower back was killing me by Sunday evening.

    I went to do my Beta test on Sat, as planned, and today my results came in:
    BFP and 253!!!! No wonder I tested so early, I wonder if the embryo implanted the moment it was put in :smiley:

  • @Hopeful_mom Awesome 3rd beta! October 16th does seem like a lifetime when you are waiting for the first ultrasound. I know what you mean about them calling with results and sounding like the results are bad. I feel like my clinic does that a lot too. I'm not sure what the E2 numbers should be but my clinic told me to up my PIO shots from 1ml a night to 1.5ml a night so I'm assuming my progesterone is a little lower than they like. I was kind of expecting that since they needed to up my estrogen early on.

    AFM I survived the weekend of waiting and over analyzing every twinge and pang down there. Haha! I'm actually glad to be back at work so I have something to keep me busy. I'm thinking I might start testing on day 4 just because I have no patience. I know it will be way early but still want to give it a try. After I ate breakfast this morning I felt kind of warm and nauseous but by the time I got to work the nausea turned to hunger and I have been hungry most of the day. I'm sure its the progesterone so can see how these meds mess with a person's head.

  • Hopeful_mom - just saw you update :) I guess we typed at the same time :) WOO-HOO!!! So very happy for the Beta3 number! This is awesome! And the u/s is schedule, and yes, I agree, that must feel like forever away.

    Question to all - do you get your Estrogen/Progesterone numbers with the first Beta? It looks like my blood draw was only for the hCG.

  • FuzzyDust woohoo great first beta lady - u go girl!!  What was your lining again?  I think your right your lil prince was ready to get in there :)  Is your 2nd beta wed?  As for the E2 and prog I u sure they dont test?  My Place doesn't give the info its because I ask them for it.  The RE looks it over to make sure I dont need adjustments in estrace or PIO.  Considering my vag issues there really isn't too much they can change at this point!!  I wouldn't worry too much.  They have you on the same meds?  I'm assuming then your numbers looked great!!!  Congrats on the house and DO NOT lifet anything heavy!  I know its exciting but try and take it easy.  I keep reminding myself of that even just moving something heavy.  My niece keeps hanging on me and i have to tell her to stop or when she was crying I went to pick her up...shes maybe 30lbs shes a lil pnut BUT still I just dont want to take the chance right now!!  I'm so happy for you!!

    @HottLemonade2886 Believe it or not every symptom really can mean something ;)  Hoping it is an early symptom for you!!  You can test early just dont get discouraged just in case...take it from this basket case over here who really didn't see a think till 8dpt.  Some other lucky ladies got BFP at 4, 5 and 6 days so you just never know.  Read my post above to fuzzy on levels I wouldnt worry too much!  I started at 1ml for PIO and now I"m up to 2ml..whatever for my pnut :)

    @Holls214 hey lady how are those positives looking?

  • @Hopeful_mom The lining was 8mm on the checkup day (when I started progesterone), and they didn't check again on the transfer day. I'm going to go do Beta#2 today after work, as they want it to be 48-74hrs apart and I'm busy tomorrow morning. My RE is part of a larger network, so I have an online account that gets all the test results published. I don't see E or P there, only hCG. Also, when I came for the blood draw, they made it sound like the test is only for one thing (I don't remember how exactly they expressed it, but it definitely sounded like only one number to test). But who knows, I might be wrong and they just haven't released the rest of the results yet - each value usually shows up separately even if it's from the same draw.

  • @FuzzyDust I know my clinic doesn't check Progesterone or estrogen with first beta, I believe they only do so with perhaps the 2nd or 3rd beta.  I forget their reasoning, I asked once, but I think they said as long as your embryo implanted and you're still on the PIO 2ml (which is their standard dose), then they know it's good 10 days past transfer...just want to make sure that it rises or stays within range (I believe above 20 for progesterone) as the embryo develops 
  • @FuzzyDust and @Hopeful_mom yayayaya!!! So exciting. :) 
    @HottLemonade2886 make sure to not do too much. At least you are busy and making the time go by faster hopefully. ;) 
    AFM- couldn't sleep last night. Woke up this morning feeling like ish. Don't know if I'm getting sick or what's going on. Argh. Positive test again today on day 6. So fingers still crossed here that they are actually positive and not the trigger or something. Really wish beta day would just hurry up haha.

  • Holls214 i've never tested out mine ever so i haven't a clue.  Its funny I did 7IUI and never tested it out...You think I would've been a pro by now ;)  I go back in 2 weeks 10/16 for my first US which really feels like forever!  Last time they made me wait 10 days...I'm tempted to call back for sooner, we shall see....
