Why do I torture myself???

[Kricket212]

Today is day 6 after a 3 day transfer.  We transferred 2 embroys & I did a pregancy test which came up negative.  WHY DID I DO IT???  They specifically say not to do too. I am hoping it's just too early to tell.  What do you guys think?

I go for another test tomorrow (Beta)
My first ever IVF came out positive & my # is 84.
I am looking foward to tomorrow to find out my new #.

Good Luck to you Tinks magic.  You are lucky you had kids young.  I am 37 & am very blessed to have had this happen already.

You know exactly what I am talking about.....Lol. If I get a positive then we are just going to say, oops it's happened again. I want a boy really bad, but I decided not to do PGD and let nature takes it course with the sex. I am only 29. Like you I have been secretly hoping for twin boys. At this point though, I think I will be lucky for one embie to stick. All the waiting for an answer is the hardest part. Your desire for boys helped you in more ways than one. Wow, what a blessing in disguise. Would you have done the PGD anyways? When will you find out if your embies are stuck? I should be finding out on Christmas. The HPT at that point should be accurate and my beta is scheduled on the 28th. I have a twin brother, and I have a natural set of fraternal twin girls....I have  a huge risk of twins any way. My girls are 10,7,5,5. I wish I had more symptoms, but i really don't have any except breast tenderness, but that could be from the Progesterone shot. I am worried that everything will be negative since I really don't have any symptoms.  I am sooo glad I found this forum!!!! Keep me posted.

Kricket212   heartburn is the worst, had it with my first, good luck and feel better!

gr8nurse welcome to our thread, lol!  I have 4 also (3 G, 1 B) and people look at me like we're nuts wanting more!  I have a scarred tube so IVF was our only option, that and we wanted to do PGD for boys.  Good thing for us as it was determined 3 (out of our 7) would have been special needs.  Our oldest is 20, youngest 4.  I'm only 38 so it's not out of the realm of reality for us.  I hope both of our implanted boys take, I have had my heart set on twins since we started.

Good luck!!

How did the beta go today? If the tubes are not patent then the rest of it is useless, IVF would be the only good option. It appears that you may just have a tubal factor, which is really good. I had my tubes tied and untied. My only issue is tubal factor. So I am keeping my fingers crossed. If my breasts (sorry if TMI) are any indication then I may be getting a positive result. Congrats......there is nothing like the experience of your first baby. Treasure every moment of it. It goes by so fast. Remember to make plenty of time for hubby. Having four girls me and my husband need "our" time quite frequently. Thank goodness for grandparents! I know this experience has taught me how precious and miraculous pregnancy really  is. I always took it for granted. Now I can't wait to hold another baby in my arms, I will cherish every moment of it. I will keep my fingers crossed for ya!!! I just know it will go smoothly for you! Keep me posted.

I took off the week also but I am a mail carrier.  I am a walking carrier...so it's about 5 mmiles a day.  The Dr said ok to return to work since my body is so used to it..but it really worries me.
I started testing on days 6 & 7 for which both were neg.  On day 8 is the first day I got Positive.
This would be my first baby.  We just got married nov 08.  (first marriage for both)  We have been together for 5yrs now.  I can't believe this is my First IVF & it has worked.
We did not do anything else because I have clogged tube.

No, I just had the one trigger shot and that was 9 days ago. I took this whole week off of work to keep myself stress free. I am an RN and my job is stressful. I am starting to think I shouldn't have taken the week off. This is all I think about sitting around and attempting to clean the house. When did you get your first positive?  I took a test yesterday to see if the HCG was still in my system. It was negative. I just wanted to make sure that if I get a + that it is the real thing!!!! I have had months of disappointment for the last two years. I hope you get great news today!!!! It is so nice to have someone to share this journey with. We have not told our family because they will think we are nuts since we have 4 already. Most people's comments are "you are done aren't you, you know what causes it" So I am sure we will get comments about a new pregnancy.
Keep us posted and baby dust to all!!!!
