My first beta today at one day early - I’m not 9 days past transfer (4 weeks) until tomorrow was 53.8. They said they like to see it above 50, 50-100 for first beta and it’s a good number since I’m a day early for beta. I go back on Thursday. They said after that ultrasound next Friday (we will be out of town do need to discuss that with them on Thursday). My estrogen was 712 and progesterone was greater than 60. I’m just on the prenatal vitamin and 1ml progesterone at night. Wifh my miscarriage last night first beta at 9 days past was 24 then 48 3 days later.
@ellis1983@mackorori@italianmommy8 CONGRATULATIONS!!! So excited for y'all! @Isthisthereallife congratulations on being PUPO! I started the PIO shots on Saturday, they aren't bad really... But I think we did them too low the first two times (we did them in the circles the nurse drew) and I ended up with lumps and terrible soreness. I do it all, warming the oil, Synera patches, rubbing after injection followed by a heated massager and a few laps up and down the stairs, so I knew I couldn't do more! We did them higher yesterday and much, much better! Two days to transfer and I'm a bundle of nerves!
italianmommy8 CONGRATS!! That's amazing! Can't wait to hear your beta tomorrow! sadubey you're so close! Sounds like you've got this PIO thing down to a science. I've had terrible soreness. I'll have to ask my DH to do them higher in the circle and see if that helps.
So I need some advice ladies! I did a 10000iu trigger on Saturday the 6th. I had my transfer on Friday the 12th. Scheduled for beta on Sunday. I am NOT one who can patiently wait so I've been trying to test out my trigger. Today is 5dp5dt and I still have two solid lines - not even a squinter. Has anyone has this experience? How long does it take for the trigger to test out? My plan was to test early on Friday at 7dp5dt but if I don't get a true negative before that - I wont know if it's trigger or not. I'm sure the answer here is, "just be patient and wait until Sunday" but I cantttttttt. Any thoughts/advice?

@Isthisthereallife woohoo!! I tested out the hcg trigger when I did IUI and it was always gone 10 days after I had it.. I’d say this is a very good sign!
AFM I've been struggling pretty hardcore the last few days. I had 3 IUI failures back in 2015/2016 but this was my first IVF failure. I know many of you have been through this before and know how it feels. I just didn't expect to feel grief this hard. I never "expected" for it to work, but I just can't stop having these emotional break downs every time I remember that my perfect embryo is just gone now.
I am thankful that we still have 5 embryos remaining but I honestly don't know how many times I'll be able to go through this. Of course there's the financial issue, but emotionally this is just really hard to handle. I don't know how many more failures I have in me.
I've also just been trying to work through the confusion as to why it didn't work. Literally everything was exactly the same as when we were successful. Same lining, same hormone levels, exact same process, even a similar embryo quality. I just can't shake if it might've been because of the stress my daughter was putting on me in those first 2 days after the transfer (and her jumping hard onto my stomach that very same day). My mom told us that she would come out to help with LO when we do this again to take the stress off, so that gives me hope.
Sorry to ramble. I've just been in my head a lot the last 2 days with nowhere to really put my thoughts.

I’m so sorry @wifeinraleigh28 We are always here for you to listen and support you. I know it will happen for you soon and so sorry it didn’t work this cycle.
@wifeinraleigh28 I'm so sorry, we are definitely here for you whenever you need to get out of your head and put your feelings out there! Unfortunately, I don't know why this cycle didn't work, I wish I had all the answers for you! But you're completely entitled to your grief... Grieve the process, grieve your embryo, grieve whatever you need to hun! I'm thinking of you! ♥️
@Isthisthereallife girl yes! I researched, researched, researched! I've heard horror stories so I wanted to be as prepared as possible! So I honestly think 10dptrigger is enough for it to be out! I think it's a real positive!
@wifeinraleigh28 oh girl, I'm so sorry you have to go through this. It's so tough. Your thoughts and feelings are completely justifiable. What you're feeling is exactly what I felt last January when we went for FET #2 and it didn't work. I was so sure it worked, I was feeling all the symptoms. When they called me with negative beta results, I felt like I was in this horrible dream. I felt this huge sense of loss and grief. I knew it was just an embryo, but I felt like I lost a child. I couldn't shake the feeling, and honestly, I still feel sadness from time to time about that failed transfer. I kept blaming everything and anything and thinking maybe it was me holding my son, me running for the bus, me not doing something after the transfer, you name it. It's so hard not to be beat ourselves up and think what could we have done to prevent this. We'll never know why these things don't work. It's now been over a year, but the PTSD is real. I FEAR my next transfer so much. I fear it won't work again for unexplained reasons and I'll be in a vicious cycle or loss and grief. Just know that you're not alone and we're here for you. Feel free to PM me if you ever want to just ramble and vent away.

@wifeinraleigh28 I’m so sorry you are having to go through this. It’s such a process and the grief you are feeling is real. The support counselors at my RE try to remind us that sometimes you do everything perfect and it just doesn’t work. I get that logically, but it sure doesn’t make it any less frustrating and emotional. You are in my thoughts, be kind to yourself.
@wifeinraleigh28 I'm so sorry. It is nothing that you, or your daughter did. Sometimes these things just happen. It gives me even more faith that your next one will be a success.

Freaking out...should I be worried? 4 weeks and 1 day today. I had diarrhea all morning and now this. Went in for my second beta this morning haven’t received results yet. I sent the pic to my doctor and she said just to monitor it and she will get back to me with the blood work after her meeting. I hope I’m not going to have another miscarriage....
8dpt5dt - 53.8 10dp5dt - 95 they said although it didn’t double it’s almost did, they will bring me back in for blood work on Monday to see the beta level again to ease my mind. They said my progesterone was greater than 60, they didn’t check estrogen anymore. I was supppsed to have first ultrasound next Friday but I will be out of state so she will request I can on Saturday but they don’t normally do ultrasounds this early on Saturdays.
Doctor called me after nurse called and said to come back Monday morning for another beta and my first ultrasound is next Saturday morning. She said the beta increased more than 67%. It was 53.8 to 95. Doctor said not to worry about brown discharge unless it’s red.
@wifeinraleigh28 I’m so sorry and completely know that feeling. I had a flawless transfer in Jan, and embryo was my highest quality at 4AA. My levels were all perfect. I had a 60% chance for success. Somehow I didn’t get pregnant. I questioned everything, did I do something wrong, did the RE, what is wrong with me, why can’t I get pregnant? etc etc etc. After a few days I finally accepted it wasn’t the right time, and not meant to be. Take the time you need, grieve, love on your family and friends, and when your emotionally and financially ready, try again. In the meantime you already have a precious child to put their arms around you and love on you!
@italianmommy8 I had that same dark brown discharge too. It was about 6-8 dpt then subsided. My RE said most likely implantation blood. They also weren’t worried unless it is red like period blood. Your levels are increasing by more than 50% and I understand that’s the minimum so you should be ok! Stay positive!
You ladies are seriously the best. Thank you for taking the time to read my long post and for the kind words of understanding and encouragement. My brain keeps flip flopping. Sometimes I think there’s something seriously wrong with me or I did something wrong and that’s why it didn’t work. Other times I think that one day when we are successful again I’ll realize this just wasn’t the right time and will be grateful that things played out the way they did. Trying really hard to focus on that more positive way of thinking!
@Tulips29 I’ll probably be pm’ing you at some point. I know this same thing happened to you. FX this is your time now! I can understand how nervous you must feel going into it. Cyber hugs!
@italianmommy8 keeping everything crossed for you!! Throughout my years on these boards I’ve seen very similar betas and concerns that turned out to be completely healthy pregnancies!
@ellis1983 your experience gives me hope! Embryo quality really doesn’t mean much and you went from that BFN to a successful FET! Hopefully I’ll have a similar experience! So looking forward to hearing if you’ve got twins brewing in there
i can feel AF coming on and at this point I just want it to get here. We’re taking this cycle off, then when I get AF again I’ll start BCP on day 3. Next FET will likely be in July.
And I know how lucky I am to have my LO. I’ve been hugging and kissing on her even more than I usually do these last few days. She must think I’ve gone a little nutso

@wifeinraleigh28 I feel your pain. I truly expected my first PGS-normal FET to be successful, and when it was not, it felt to me like a pregnancy loss, even sharper and more painful than my CP on my (untested) first FET. I've gone around and around about it, but I truly don't think anything you or I did or didn't do caused the failure. Implantation is hard for embryos and even if they have everything going for them in the chromosomes, they may not successfully get settled in a hospitable place where they can grow. And even if all the chromosomes are there, there is more to it than just that, as my second FET/miscarriage shows. I hope the next one is your THB for you. Hang in there and treat yourself gently.
@italianmommy8 I agree that dark brown shouldn't be too much of a concern. It's old blood that maybe have been left over from the implantation, or bled in the days since then, but harmlessly. It sounds like they have a good plan for monitoring going forward. Fingers crossed for you!!
@mackorori thank you! On my end it went really well, no discomfort or pain, and my doctor said it was a perfect transfer on his end. Officially PUPO and eagerly waiting to start testing... I'm definitely a testing nut! Our embryo was a 4AB (froze as a 4AA so that was a little disappointing). What I wish I had asked was why it looks so wonky in the photo... Maybe it hasn't fully expanded at that point? Idk but it's been irking me. I mean... WHAT IS THAT TAIL?!? 😂
@sadubey what a beautiful embryo (including the tail, showing his/her uniqueness already)! Glad to hear everything went well, keep us posted on developments.
My wife had our second embryo transfer on 4/1. 10 days after the transfer, she had an hcg level of 228. 2 days after that, it rose to 526. She had gone in for another blood test today, a week later, and we are awaiting the results from that this afternoon. Hoping for another great number!
Our first transfer resulted in a chemical pregnancy only and did not work out. Fingers crossed
Ok ladies, got confirmation that my transfer is on Wednesday...EEEKKK!!!! I'm so freaking nervous and anxious and terrified. Naturally, I'm concerned over everything. I didn't fully surge on my own by yesterday, so they had me do a trigger shot last night to get the transfer scheduled for Wednesday as I have to travel for work on Thursday and Friday. Hence my second worry - I have to fly early Thursday morning, which my RE is not concerned with and telling me it's fine to fly next day after the transfer. But I'm a nut job and am freaking out that it'll have a negative impact. Luckily my beta will be on Saturday so at least I don't have to be at work or take a day off for the news. Now I just have to stop freaking out!

Thank you @ittybittybug-2! I hate that you and so many others have gone through this but at the same time it feels good to know that others understand what this feels like. I have turned into an uber bitch this week too and I don't like it. I've been short tempered and really tired. I know it's because I'm just depressed about this whole thing. I need to get it together and move on. I wrote a quote in my planner a few weeks ago that says "Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is." Trying really hard to let the truth of that lift me up this week!
@crookshanks10 Did you have your transfer on Wednesday? How did it go? And when is your beta?
@sadubey I love your embryo! That tail is seriously EVERYTHING Congrats on being PUPO!
@Isthisthereallife How are you holding up? Still getting those 2 lines??

@Tulips29flying will be just fine! We’re almost transfer buddies. Mine won’t be until Thursday but beta scheduled the same day!
I had my bloodwork and ultrasound today and everything looked good - lining at 11.7, e2 over 200. I start progesterone tomorrow night and then transfer on Thursday. I’ve managed to stay very unemotional through this so far, not really thinking about it, being excited or stressed or anxious. It feels so early after my losses in the past that even if everything is going great, it’s going to be months before I’ll feel safe to be happy and confident I can be excited. Not sure if that will be the same now that I’ll be starting daily injections and suppositories thrice daily. It’s harder to forget about it when you’re constantly involved.
@wifeinraleigh28 I did have my transfer last Wednesday! To me, they gave me too many valiums so I was pretty drunk feeling! I had to pee SO BAD, but other than that, everything went fine! I was very excited last week and now I am just more anxious. Thinking about testing before beta day, just to have a heads up!
Hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend! It was crazy and family filled over there!
wifeinraleigh28 how are you feeling? Been thinking about you and hope you're being gentle on yourself. @Tulips29 Yay for transfer!!! Just a couple days away! Are you triggering? Don't worry about the travel - everything will be fine! somewhereinnyc ahhh! Two beautiful sticky beans!! Sending you lots and lots of sticky thoughts. How you feeling? ittybittybug-2 glad your appointment went well. Hope everything continues to stay on track! @cr@crookshanks10 Ah! When do you think you'll test? Congrats on being PUPO!! So exciting.

@italianmommy8 I agree that dark brown shouldn't be too much of a concern. It's old blood that maybe have been left over from the implantation, or bled in the days since then, but harmlessly. It sounds like they have a good plan for monitoring going forward. Fingers crossed for you!!
@mackorori thank you! On my end it went really well, no discomfort or pain, and my doctor said it was a perfect transfer on his end. Officially PUPO and eagerly waiting to start testing... I'm definitely a testing nut! Our embryo was a 4AB (froze as a 4AA so that was a little disappointing). What I wish I had asked was why it looks so wonky in the photo... Maybe it hasn't fully expanded at that point? Idk but it's been irking me. I mean... WHAT IS THAT TAIL?!? 😂
Our first transfer resulted in a chemical pregnancy only and did not work out. Fingers crossed

@somewhereinnyc they are adorable, glad to hear all went well today!
I had my bloodwork and ultrasound today and everything looked good - lining at 11.7, e2 over 200. I start progesterone tomorrow night and then transfer on Thursday. I’ve managed to stay very unemotional through this so far, not really thinking about it, being excited or stressed or anxious. It feels so early after my losses in the past that even if everything is going great, it’s going to be months before I’ll feel safe to be happy and confident I can be excited. Not sure if that will be the same now that I’ll be starting daily injections and suppositories thrice daily. It’s harder to forget about it when you’re constantly involved.
wifeinraleigh28 how are you feeling? Been thinking about you and hope you're being gentle on yourself.
@Tulips29 Yay for transfer!!! Just a couple days away! Are you triggering? Don't worry about the travel - everything will be fine!
somewhereinnyc ahhh! Two beautiful sticky beans!! Sending you lots and lots of sticky thoughts. How you feeling?
ittybittybug-2 glad your appointment went well. Hope everything continues to stay on track!
@cr@crookshanks10 Ah! When do you think you'll test? Congrats on being PUPO!! So exciting.
:::TW:::
AFM: I kept POAS all week last week and it never went negative, or even to a squinter. Had my beta yesterday and we're pregnant!!!!! Beta 203 with 2nd one on Wednesday. Excited, anxious, and hopeful that things continue in the right direction!
