anetski- Congrats on your ET! Sound likes it went well. When is you beta? Will you be testing early?

rxy- It's totally up to you... test or to not test?!?! I will not be testing early. I am hoping that the nurse will have good news for me Friday. Sooo many of us have betas coming up this week! As for the PIO... I know! It was soo easy at first... but now I am running out of room on each cheek...

mamom- Do you already know you have tubal issues? Or are you checking for that?

baby4me- I am soo glad you are jumping back into this... but take time if you need to ...emotionally and money wise...

AFM- I can't believe beta is Friday..yes, the waiting is killing me.. but I can't believe the process is almost over! Once we started stimming, it flew by. I am praying for all of us.

Happy New Year.

[stressed118]

Happy Holidays and a Happy new Year....hope all those asking for that special gift for Christmas get what their heart desires....

AFM- still having some kidney issues just hoping that i will make it to 34 weeks so that the babies have enough time to cook in there. 9 weeks 6 days and counting...starting to feel more like a house :) can't wait for Christmas dinner mmmmmm....Turkey. I am so glad that i did all my shopping in November so i only had my husband to do and let me tell you that was enough!! shopping in crowded malls while pregnant is no fun. I am finding that i am always hungry lately...just can't get enough but i still have only put on 20 pounds so doing good so far. We get to go for our next u/s on the 24th so we will get to wish them a merry Christmas in there. If i haven't said yet we are having one of each so Ethan & Ella are their names and we can't wait to meet them.....hope everyone is doing well...

I keep thinking the same thing so I know how you feel but if you have not gotten your period then you are still preggers! That is what I keep telling myself. you will know if you are miscarrying because you will have red discharge and cramping. I had a scare over the weekend where I had brown discharge and I called the clinic. They said that brown means it is old blood and it is just working its way out. My 7 week ultra sound is in one week. Happy 6 weeks to whoever is in there! So blessed to have made it this far. Hope allof you are well!!!

[Enough2356]

well cycle did not start back on time.  So we will wait after the holiday.  Happy for all of you BFP.  

Happy Holidays to all.  

[fingersXed]

hi everyone!  ...and congrats to all the BFP's!!!
I also had my BFP last week. first beta was 227 and second one was 613.  So happy!  Although now I'm starting to be in denial that it all worked.  Just wondering, since we're on all those meds (progesterone, estradiol), would I have symptoms if I miscarried or would I not even know about it?!?!?!?  I have to wait until dec 14 for the week 7 ultrasound and I'm going nuts!
Thanks!
baby dust to all of you!

[Kricket212]

You got so many eggs at retrieval I hope I am that lucky.  I am 37 though & know the #'s drop when you get older.  I will have the retrieval tomorrow & transfer over the weekend..possibly sunday.  (Fingers & toes crossed)
This is my first IVF...

[anetski]

Hi all

enough - hope AF shows soon so you can get started. Waiting is horrible. I hope this is the one for you!!!!!

Thanks for the best wishes from you all. I am so excited. Had my bloodtest yesterday at 10dpt and HCG was 156 and progesterone was over 300 so all good. 7 Week scan is 21 Dec. I cannot wait.

As soon as I had taken the HPT on sat and it showed positive I felt so hungover and hungry. I am sure I didn't feel these symptoms so early with my son. Heaps of cramping going on but that is ok.

Hope evryone else is going well?

[Enough2356]

Iam so so so Happy for you.  You deserve it.  

ASFM- Started Luperon and AF  was due Staurday and still waiting.   If AF does not come on today we would have to start after the holidays because DR. office is closed for the holidays.  

Praying for AF to start today.  AMEN.  

Congradulations to all you ladies on this roller coster.  

[stressed118]

Anetski- I am so glad to hear that you got your BFP' when is your beta? From the first few post i could see you where driving yourself crazy!! Good luck and i can't wait to hear that your numbers are good.

AFM- i haven't been on in a bit as i got something called hydronephrosis, which is where the babies are cutting off the flow of urine from my kidney to my bladder. It was sooooo pain full and caused my kidney's to get inflamed so i was in the hospital for the day, i wen to the specialist to check everything out after being on bed rest for a few days laying only on my left side things started taking care of themselves. The babies finally moved and the flow returned, it was pretty scary for a few days but now i am feeling better and just have to monitor it and make sure it does not happen again otherwise i will have to get a stent put it to keep it open while i am pregnant. Starting to really feel pregnant as it hard to get around and i get tired after not doing to much can't believe that there it just over 13 weeks left it's so crazy when you say it like that. I was glad to hear about the newbies and the BFP i will keep in touch to hear more good results.

[anetski]

Took a HPT and it is BFP. It is almost 14 days since trigger so that should be out of my system and I did 2 tests that was negative in the last few days too so it should be a real one right?

I am so happy I could scream.

I hope everyone else gets the same present

[help4baby]

Hey girl it is so early to test u know that and please don't loose hope.  Watch lots of movie and when u get tired just go to bed. Promise urself not to test till monday. We r praying for u!!!

[4everwealth]

Canes - Congrats on ur BFP!!

Anetski - Its early yet, please do not give up hope. You know how we cannot rely on how our bodies feel right after the ET. Try to relax. I'll be praying for you. Hugs & Kisses!!

[anetski]

HI everyone

HELP I am not coping at all. I am convinced it hasn't worked. I am cramping like AF. I am so angry and I feel like I need a huge cry to get rid of all these bottled up emotions. I have done all the things I was not supposed to. No internet searching - done that, No buying of HPT - bought 5, No testing - done 1, No giving up hope - done that already. This is the 3rd go. I can't believe if it is negative again. Why doesn't it work.

I am so over it all now. Why does this have to be so hard???????????

Sorry had to get rid of it.

Congratulations to all the BFP's. It is so good to see. I know how great you must be feeling!!!

[help4baby]

wow I see so many bfp this month. Congratulation girls!!!! Wishing u all happy and healthy pregnancy and good beta numbers.

[Canes02]

Cheated and hpt BFP! Beta tomorrow! Good luck girls!

[Mariana101]

That beta is BEAUTUFUL!!!! congratulations... it will keep going higher and higher:)

My beta is this Wedbesday and I am very nervous. I'm not doing hpt so it's hard.... I promised myself not to:)

[hopin4baby]

Hi everyone!

I got my second beta today and my level was 954. I was glad to hear I am still pregnant. For some reason both DH and I are having a really hard time accepting this to be real. When you go through this process you begin to doubt anything positive will last. I dont think it will feel real until the ultra sound. Then we will tell people. Waiting is so hard. you guys know that better than anyone out there.

Hope everyone is doing well in wherever they are in this process.

[help4baby]

Good Luck!!! yes stay away from net for few days and take rest.

[anetski]

Hi

Had my transfer of 1 x AA blastycyst embryo. They said that they had thought that the others would have developed the same but none had so dissapointing but maybe they would catch up. I was dissapointed as the thought of doing all those meds again makes me ill but then I thought 1 is all it takes so hopefully this is the one.

Well they called today and they have frosen 4 blastycyst embryos. I cried! :)

Anetski - pregnancy test 2nd dec
Stressed- 20weeks 2 days with twins first IVF
Hopin-BFP on 11/19/09
4everwealth - 18 weeks 5 days first IVF

Thanks for your support everyone. I am going to stay away from the site untill the test as I need my mind of it all this time.

See you then! :)))

[help4baby]

anetski : Thinking of you. Sending good positive wishes on your way.

fingerxed: Good luck to you as well and I don't know about lifting but avoid it as much as possible. I did good rest for 3 days but at 4 th day my few friends came to visit us so that day I had lot of bending and lifting after that me and dh were worried but we prayed and hoped for positive result and we got our bfp.
I m wishing u good luck.

AFM: Facing lower back pain and sleeping trouble. Nausea is still on and off. But happy to be on 2nd trimester.
Praying for all of us everyday.

[help4baby]

BFP->big fat positive.
Embryologist do grading of embryos so 1 aa and 1 bb is grading. ask ur RE bcoz every center has their own meaning. I think aa is best and so on. But don't think about it,  doesn't matter.
Only your embryologist will tell u about the embryo u can ask them.

You can do hpt (home pregnancy test) 10 day after transfer. But please don't do before that it has to be at least 10 day.
Stay hydrated and take rest.
Good Luck

[fingersXed]

Thanks so much for your help hopinforbaby, stressed and 4everwealth!!  I managed to convince myself not to do a hpt yet although it crosses my mind everyday even though I know it's still super early (ARGH!)  I'm back to work now  so that's really helping to take my mind off things...however I work at the hospital and have to get patients up alot....I have an assistant to help me but I'm still kinda worried that I'm lifting too much.

Hopinforbaby: That is such great news!  I'm so happy for you!!!!

Anetski: good luck!  I'll be thinking of you!

[4everwealth]

anetski - I hope you get to do the transfer and even more that you get a BFP :))

Hopin - This is wonderful news!!! Congratulations. I never got my beta number, I only was told my pregnancy test was positive but ur numbers look great!! Enjoy your pregnancy.

fingers- You are welcome to the family. Looking forward to hearing about your BFP and feel free to share whatever is on your mind. I know waiting until the beta day can be so frustrating but try to take your mind off it as much as possible: get lost in a good novel or watch movies that will make you relax and feel good. Good luck!!
