EXHAUSTED!

Hey all!

So ... wow!  We had an FET on 2/23/11.  I took a home pregnancy test on 2/28 (5 days post transfer) which was negative.  I go in for my first beta on Friday, 3/4/11 (still two days away).  

THe past three days I have been more exhausted than EVER before in my life!!  Monday night, I wanted to go to bed at 8:15 pm.  Last night, I was done by 8:00 pm and tonight it's 6:30 and I can barely function because I'm so tired.

Is this normal??

Okay, so to update everyone - I had my first beta on 3/4.  The clinic called and said it was positive. But gave no numbers.  Second beta on 3/7 and they confirmed pregnancy.  But again, didn't give the numbers.  So today, I finally gave in and called the clinic and asked for my hcg level numbers.  The first beta test (which was 9 days post transfer) was 63 and the next beta test (12 days post transfer) was 258!  So I'm guessing those are good numbers?? Seems like they are, so  I was very happy and relieved to hear it!

Thanks for all the support!

Do you also have to wait 7 days after the Beta to confirm pregnancy?  I assume they should also be able to tell from the Beta test if your hcg levels are between 9 - 47.  Good luck tomorrow!

Man, am I exhausted again today!  My beta is tomorrow.  I'm so nervous about it!  (Especially since the last try with IVF it was a BFN.)  Hoping, hoping, hoping!

I was so exhausted tonight that I went to sleep at 6:30.  I woke up at 11:00 and now I'm wide awake! (But still tired!) :)

Thank you!  I wish you the best of luck as well!!

I also have sore breasts and have had mild-ish pain and cramping in my lower abdomen.  But I think it's because of the progesterone and estrogen shots my husband is giving me.  But this fatigue - I didn't experience this the last round of IVF (back in December, which was unsuccessful) that we did.

Hi -
We seem to be on the same schedule.  This is my first round of ttc, I had an HCG shot on 2/23 and i took a pregnancy test 4 days later.  Yes,I  know it was too soon but i was curious of the results and of course it was positive.  I go for my Beta on on 3/4/11 and my Pregnancy test on 3/11.  

My sleep schedule has alos been really off and I've been extremely exuasted by 9pm every night. On top of that I have all the pregnancy symptoms and mild pain on the bottom left and right of my lower abdomen, breast are huge and I have become very emotional.  I'm assuming it's the side effects of the HCG shot I took on 2/23.  

I wish you the best of luck for a BFP!
