Starting ivf again in April

[rghkah38]

My dh and I had a beautiful daughter in July after many years of trying.  Well, I'm starting ivf in april and very nervous to start all of this again.  Is anyone else starting ivf in April???

I posted my test from this morning. I am obsessed but I never got a BFP before and I'll take as many HPT's until my Beta. I know that my DH didn't want me to test early b/c I would have been devastated. I know everything will go perfectly for us b/c it's finally our time. Just keep thinking pink & blue. Congrats!

Yay!! I think I saw the faintest line this AM!!! I can't believe it and scared to rejoice yet!!! But I'm hoping it's true!!!! Have you tested again?? I'll probably test in a couple of days again. It's funny your DH didnt want you to test and mine really wanted me to this AM! My Beta is Tuesday! I hope things progress nicely for both of us and good results next week!!!

Don't worry. Everyone's body is different. It just may be too early to detect. My DH is still wondering why I got BFP so early so he is waiting for the Beta and told me to be prepared. He asked me not to test and I think he was a little upset with me. Please don't be sad... you still have 4 days to go. Keeping you in my thoughts :)

Yay Korrskat!!!! Congrats!!!! Smart thinking! I didn't think of doing that but I did cave last night and took an HPT. it was BFN so I'm a bit sad but I know it's early so trying to keep my hopes up. Dont know if I'll do another tomorrow or just wait for the Beta. It's so hard!!!
But, I'm SO happy for you!!!! Can't wait to hear your Beta results!!!!

So, I cheated today. I took a HPT and got a solid line BFP! I have 3 more days until my Beta. I know it's not from low dose HCG b/c I took an HPT the day of my transfer and it was negative. I did that on purpose so that If I didn't have the patience to wait until the Beta than I knew it would be the real deal. I have so many more thoughts going thru my head but I can try to relax and wait for Monday to come. Keep you all posted. It is truly a happy day :)

congrats on the transfer!!  Hope you got some rest and are feeling well.

Hopefulcb - I am taking progesterone but the crinone version.  I know for me the bloating and cramping was related to my ginormously enlarged ovaries!  The u/s tech said mine are still the size of a clementine and grapefruit instead of almonds like they are supposed to be.  She said they will not even start to go back to normal till around 11 weeks and then they will slowly return to normal.  I have a friend who did IVF a couple years ago and she said even up till 20 weeks her ovaries were still enlarged.  I hope you are not too uncomfortable with the bloating and cramping!

Rghka - good luck with your second beta.  I will be thinking of you.
