May 2018 - FET

mayflower513 · June 2018

@roisis and @northbeach3 how frustrating to be left hanging! At least it wasn’t Friday, right?

congrats @roisis! I understand your skepticism but they know what they’re talking about and everyone does things different so, while I’d have a hard time with it too, you chose them for a reason so try to trust that they know what they’re doing.

Guys, is it a big deal to miss an endometrin dose? I take it 3x a day and woke up at 3am realizing I didn’t take it last night... I took it then but that’s 5 hours late.

roisis · June 2018

Thanks @mayflower513 - that's the attitude I'm adopting

By endometrin - do you mean your progesterone? I don't think a few hours should make any difference at all. When something is 3x a day - it generally just means 'well spaced out'. Don't fret too much over it xx

mayflower513 · June 2018

@roisis yes, progesterone suppositories. Thank you!

ndz2018 · June 2018

@roisis YAY!! Congrats great beta!

leilee101 · June 2018

@roisis congratulations on a beautiful beta!! And thanks so much for checking in on me, it was a negative for me this time:( I’m already up and running on the July FET page, so any first time FET tips send em my way! Best of luck to you, hoping for a health and happy 9 months ❤️

northbeach3 · June 2018

@mayflower513 I forgot my progesterone last night too! Was putting some in a ziplock for my upcoming trip but forgot to insert one before bed. Put one In at 5:30 am. Oops!

congrats @roisis! What dpt did they test on? I both love and hate how confident they are in your pregnancy status. Now more waiting! What is week 7 for you?

im traveling to Washington DC today thru Saturday. Have to administer both PIO and estrogen shots while traveling without DH. Ugh. Have done estrogen but a tad nervous about PIO. Will call clinic if I don’t here from them by 10 am.

roisis · June 2018

@ndz2018 Thank you

@leilee101 Thanks

I'm so sorry this month didn't work out for you <<internet hugs>>. A few of the ladies that started here in May went over to the July FET thread - so I know you're already in with a nice group there! They'll keep you right

@northbeach3 Thank you! They tested me on 12dp5dt. I know what you mean - and honestly I was feeling a little disillusioned last night but I have to stay positive now - so it'll all stay good! I have scan booked in for June 28th which should have me just over the 7wks. I was supposed to stay abroad at a conference until the 29th but I really want the scan that week. It's my little niece's Christening that weekend and I really want to know how things are before going to that! And as my own presentation is over on the 26th, I believe I can just come home early. The timing of all of this was really stressing me out the last few days, but myself and DH just sat down and booked everything last night - so decisions are made and that makes me a little calmer!

You'll be fine with the PIO! As far as I have read from everyone, just relax and do it slowly. At least you've been taking them for a good few weeks now - just a further step to give it to yourself. You can do this

When is week 7 for you?

mrsyng · June 2018

Congrats @roisis. Praying that baby continues to stick and you will hear a heartbeat during week 7.

I’m hoping to hear from the nurse sooner than later! She knows how anxious this waiting for results can be. Fx.

roisis · June 2018

Thanks @mrsyng God - that's a long wait for you. FX the phone-call is soon

kristimh80 · June 2018

@roisis Yay!! I'm delighted for you!!

mrsyng · June 2018

My nurse called and said numbers are doubling appropriately with yesterday’s draw @1268. But I guess we’re never really out of the woods. She has to talk to the doctor to see if we need another draw or schedule an u/s for next week which should show a heart beat by then if it continues to grow as expected. Fx!

roisis · June 2018

@kristimh80 Thank you

How are you feeling after ERA?

@mrsyng Oh Yay!!! Honestly - I know we can never fully relax about these things - but that's great news!!! And in for scan next week - Yayyy! How many weeks will you be then? I was hoping my clinic would take me in at 6wks but the nurse was very firm that I should only come in at 7wks (I think I got the meaney nurse

)

leilee101 · June 2018

@northbeach3 I did most of my PIO shots solo bc DH has been picking up alot of overtime shifts to help us generate a little extra income with all this $$$ we need to shell out! While it's definitely way easier to have a second person, I really did not mind doing it myself at all. It's a little awkward at first but you can totally do it

mrsyng · June 2018

@roisis it really is good news!! If we get an US next week on Friday it would put me at 6w4d. can’t wait for your us too, good thing you’re going to be plenty busy until then. Fx!

mayflower513 · June 2018

That’s great @mrsyng!! I can relate to the never fully relaxing. I have my ultrasound next Friday and will be 6w3d and keep telling myself I’ll feel better provided everything looks good... but will I? Hopefully we can find a way to feel good about it soon!

northbeach3 · June 2018

Loving all the updates! Looks like next Friday is a big day for ultrasounds!! Add me to that club! HCG is up to 2250 from yesterday (20dpt).

Im super bummed though bc he was going to have me come in THIS Friday for an earlier US but I’ll be outta town so will just wait to next Fri. Will be 6+6 or 7w depending on which calculator used.

@more14 and @asabelko how’s the TWW? Give in to POAS? Only a few more days until beta!

@leilee101 thanks for the vote of confidence. It’s really just my fear of wiggling too much while trying to push the plunger. I’m sure I’ll survive.

mayflower513 · June 2018

Great news @northbeach3!! That had to be so hard saying no to an ultrasound tomorrow. But at least next week you’ll be more likely to see a HB which will make you feel better!

roisis · June 2018

@northbeach3 That's great news!! Yeah - I understand being a bit disappointed not getting in tomorrow - but I agree with @mayflower513 - next week you should see a beautiful HB

mrsyng · June 2018

@mayflower513 Fx we can relax more after a successful US with a beating heart!

@northbeach3 love your high beta number!

My US hasn’t been scheduled yet but hoping it will be next Friday too so DH won’t have to request any time off. I’m excited for all of us next week!

ASabelko · June 2018

@northbeach3 Congrats! No POAS so far -- I'm trying to make it to Saturday (9 dp5dt) since we literally have one test left!

@roisis Congrats on the great numbers!

TWW hasn't been too bad, some cramping/nausea and super tired, but I've been trying to keep busy with gardening and getting ready for some of our summer kids programming.

mrsyng · June 2018

Update: nurse called earlier and RE wants me in sooner than next week due to the wacky beta in the beginning so I’m scheduled for an US this Friday to ensure the embaby embedded into the uterus and not the tubes.

@ASabelko that’s awesome you’ve been able to hold out for so long. Good luck on poas on Saturday it’s only a few more days.

roisis · June 2018

@ASabelko Well done in holding out on the hpts - it's not easy, we know! So your Beta isn't on Friday anymore (I'm still going by the spreadsheet!)
@mrsyng Well that's great that they're keeping a close eye on you

mayflower513 · June 2018

@mrsyng that’s great! I’m thinking it started as 2 and is now 1 and that’s what the betas were reflecting, but that’s obviously just my guess and I hope everything looks good!

I have my beta a day early (today) and am so nervous. I stupidly peed on a wondfo and the lines are equal but at this point I feel like the test line should be darker...I hate wondfos!

roisis · June 2018

I just got a call from my clinic (doesn't your heart jump into your mouth when you see that!!) - but it was just my doc checking in with me about my thyroid. My TSH is still a little higher than he'd like so he's upping my dose - I feel quite relieved that even though they're not taking me in for tests they're still keeping an eye on me

Also I wasn't very happy with my thyroid result ( I did question the nurse about it ) so I'm quite relieved he followed up on it.

@mayflower513 A day early for Beta - that's actually great! Don't ever put too much trust in the Wandfos - they just mess with your head. But in saying that - two equal lines sounds rather positive!! Best of Luck

mayflower513 · June 2018

@roisis yes, total panic when they call! That’s so great that they’re being proactive.

I know I shouldn’t be testing at this point and that the wondfos aren’t super reliable. I am so nervous I’m ruining the excitement for my H so I really need to cut the shit.

northbeach3 · June 2018

@mrsyng ahh I’m jealous of your early us. Hoping embaby(ies) are in the right place! Post pics!!

@roisis hope your TSH levels adjust appropriately! Glad they’re keeping an eye out for you.

@asabelko hope those are good signs! You can make it to Saturday!!

afm, did PIO on my own. that sucked. Needle went in fine but took FOREVER to plunge it in. Now that area is super sore! More than when my husband does it. Lame!

ETA: good luck with next beta @mayflower513

roisis · June 2018

@northbeach3 Ouchie!!! But well done you for doing it yourself. You deserve a cookie

kristimh80 · June 2018

@northbeach3 Did you try heating the oil up first? I do that with my heating pad and it goes in super fast because it thins it

mrsyng · June 2018

@mayflower513 good luck with beta today. Yes, the nurse did initially mention that due to wacky beta it could’ve have been that both implanted and one stopped but when she told me at the time it didn’t help as all I saw was OMG my beta didn’t double. Lol

@northbeach3 Your US will be here in no time too! I’m just hoping the embaby/ies is in the correct place and we’ll get to see a gestational sac and whatever else we’re supposed to see. Then off to being worried about the next thing - a heart beat as I believe 5w4d is too early. Hopefully the us goes well tomorrow and they will schedule another one for next week too.

@roisis it’s good your doctor is following up. Hopefully they can get your levels back to normal.

northbeach3 · June 2018

I’m traveling so no heating pad. Came straight from hotel fridge! Boo!!!

kristimh80 · June 2018

@northbeach3 They don't have to go in the fridge...maybe not cold would help some lol

ASabelko · June 2018

@roisis I'm on for a Saturday beta. BUT I have a big project at work that I need to be at on Saturday, so I'm going to take my test and then lock my phone in my office until we're done. I'll probably POAS that evening if it's positive just so I can see a +

mayflower513 · June 2018

3rd beta was 6,537 at 18dp5dt, last one was 913 at 12dp5dt, putting the doubling rate at 51 hours (last one from 10dpt to 12dpt was 46 hours), this is ok, right??

mrsyng · June 2018

Wow @mayflower513 wish my numbers looked that good too!! I believe 51 hours is still pretty good. Should double between 48-72 hrs!

kristimh80 · June 2018

@mayflower513 Awesome beta #'s!!!

northbeach3 · June 2018

@mayflower513 I think you’re perfecrly in range. Doubling Time also seems to slow the more further you get along.

Beta-hCG	LMP (DPO) *	Doubling time
< 1200	< 5 weeks (21 dpo)	2-3 days (48-72 hours)
1200-6000	5-6 weeks (21-28 dpo)	3-4 days (72-96 hours)
> 6000	> 6 weeks (28 dpo)	more than 4 days (96 hours)

mayflower513 · June 2018

Thank you @mrsyng @kristimh80 and @northbeach3 ❤️ I really need to curb this anxiety somehow!

roisis · June 2018

@mayflower513 Yay!!! Great Beta numbers

@ASabelko Sorry - I'm so silly - I was convinced the 9th was Friday (all confused - oops!!). Bets of luck tomorrow. In a way I guess having a big project to distract you all day is a good thing

@mrsyng GL in u/s today!!!!

mayflower513 · June 2018

Thank you @roisis!

good luck today @mrsyng!

northbeach3 · June 2018

Excited for your us @mrsyng!
