April 2012 IVFers

[Ginger077]

I know there was a thread started for April 2012 IVFers but I'm not able to post there and wonder if others are having problems posting there as well. Anyone interested in starting a new thread here? Let's support one another on our IVF journeys! Good luck everyone!

[Helen72]

WOW!!!  Never knew they did u/s on Sundays somewhere  :)
Glad you do not have to wait much longer!!!

I hate the phone calls when they give you your blood test results, it seems to me like everything is so rushed, i prefer to talk to my doctor than the nurse. I'm still so confuse as everything is so new, the only thing i know is that my hcg level is 4500, that my levels are rising appropriately and that my first u/s is this Sunday at 10AM. is that all i need to know for now? is that hcg level normal?

[yutezka]

i don't know my beta :( i was so happy to get the news that i forgot to ask. My next appointment is tomorrow morning for more blood work to check my levels and then they will give me further instructions and let me know when my u/s is.

[Jen1st_time_ivf]

Congratulations!!!! How excited you all must be. So happy for you and dh, hope for a great and healthy 9 months.

[Helen72]

CONGRATS!!  What's your beta?
When is your first u/s?????

[yutezka]

So, i just got confirmation, i am pregnant! I'm in shock! We are so happy! I can't believe it happened just right after my failed IVF, we finally got our miracle! I have to go back on Friday for another blood test to check my levels and then my doctor will give me more instructions from there.

It is so funny, my doctor calls me to give me the news and says: " So you went and had a party on your own without inviting us? Congratulations your are pregnant!" Wow this is like the best day ever!

[JennyB0125]

Wow that is wonderful news congrats!! I wish you all the best!!

[Helen72]

WOW!!!!!!!  What a miracle, so very happy for you.  Please post your beta tomorrow.

Hello everyone,

So happy to see everyone's comments here and everything going so well for you ladies. Sorry i have been gone for a while, but after my BFN i didn't want to do much.
But in other news, i had to write on this wall, as i needed to talk to someone about the following, I'm so nervous and anxious. It is possible to get pregnant naturally after a failed IVF ? I'm hoping yes! i am 10 days late with my period, so i decided for the heck of it to take a home pregnancy test this morning, and what do you think? it came back POSITIVE!!! OMG. I'm excited and i don't know what to think, I'm so nervous and i hope that this is true. I showed it to my husband too as i was screaming loudly when i saw the results. He was happy but doesn't want to have his hopes up, he wants to wait until i see my doctor. So i just called the doctor and my appointment for blood test is tomorrow morning. I'm so hoping this is true. I'm supposed to start my second IVF cycle next month, but if this is true, then i definitely got my miracle. Can you believe this after so many years of trying??? so here's hoping that my home pregnancy test gave me true results and that i have my BFP!!!

I will let you know! But think if I waited all this time
3 more days is not such a big deal!:)

[Bijoux24]

Hi Jenny, had 3 day transfer
Sunday is the Day!:)

[Helen72]

Good luck!  If you cheat and take hpt let us know how it goes.  Fingers crossed!

[JennyB0125]

The wait is def a killer..lol I have my fingers crossed for you!  Did you transfer a 3 or 5 day?  

[Babytime1]

I am in week 9 now and am so tired as well, some energy would be great!  I have craved sweet things like choc milk and twix candy bars, lol also not the best for the baby, lol.... week 6 heart beat was 136, week 8 is was 160, so healthy... wanting to know if its a boy or girl so bad I cant wait to start buyng pink or blue clothes....

ALL----Still have IVF meds left over if anyone is interested..

[Bijoux24]

So happy for you Ladies!!!
Had my ET on 6/13,
2WW idefinitely feels like time is stopping!...
But trying to stay busy!
Had one & only embryo  transferred!...  
Staying positive!!!
Don't feel as tired as first few days... Still get occasional cramps... Thinking progesterone will do it to you!...
Have my blood test on 6/24, don't think I will do HPT,...do I?!..:)

[Helen72]

I think there is an old belief that low h/b means it's a boy and high h/b means it's a girl (or the other way around).  Of course there is no scientific evidence of that.  For the record, dd's h/b was always on the low side.

[Harper7]

I hope he/she is doing well. Im a bit worry when I googled and found that the heartbeat should be around 150-160bpm in week 4. But mine was 131bpm in week4 and 5days (which almost 5 weeks).

My morning sickness is all day long. Nausea is my number 1 to fight with. Now I feel water is not tasty to swallow. I know Id drink 2-3litres per day, but I just cant. Alternatively, I drink fruit juice. I hope its alright for the baby. Mind cramp is on and off from time to time.

Thanks everyone

[JennyB0125]

Thanks so much!  I wish you the very best!!!!!

[JennyB0125]

Thanks I hoe you are right, I have been having some cramping but I hope that's normal. I am doing my "official" test on Mon then I call the clinic to let them know then I think they tell me what to ask my doc for, at any rate I hope to go to my doc tomorrow or on Mon, to ask for one. :)

[Helen72]

Harper,
Anna's heartbeat was always on the low side, around 130 and she is perfectly healthy, heart and all.  Heartbeat above 110 is always normal.  So, do not expect it to go up significantly.  Changes in h/b typically depend on the amount of movement.
Good luck on your u/s!!

[Harper7]

Its teally strong heartbeat. Congrats!

[Harper7]

Good luck and take care of yourself

[Harper7]

Im craving for frizzy drink too. I know softdrink isnt good for the baby, but a zip at a time makes my nausea gone for a while. I cant imagine how im gonna cope if i got 2inside ^^ You must do a really good job. I cant wait for week 12-13 so I can have my energy back.

My next us is next Thursday, im so exciting and hope to see the little one growing in size and developing. Its heartbeat was 131 last time, i hope its getting up. Take a good care of yoursrlf and the twins

[Helen72]

Jenny,
Congrats!  Early bfp is a good sign.  When is your beta?
