2WW who else is in?

[Verysoon]

I am offically in my 2WW. I go in for Beta testing on Oct 7th at 7:30a. Who else is on the journey??? I'm sitting here trying not to read too much into anything my stomach is feeling. I was so tense during the proceedure that I think I am just now starting to relax. Let's just pray for no spotting, bleeding, cramping, and Beta levels of at least 150 this time!

Hi ladies. How is everyone doing?

I am now 1DPIUI.  Everything seemed to go perfectly yesterday.  I had signs of ovulation (lots of EWCM), cervix was open and hubby's count was excellent. Now just praying for mother nature to take its course and fertilize and implant:) Going to add more protein to my diet this time and drink lots of water.  

Congrats again to all the BFP's.... how are you ladies doing?

[Stephanie12210]

So we go to the doctor on Friday and I cannot wait.  I see that not a lot of people have posted recently, so wanted to start this one up again.  I had very light almost orange spotting yesterday that almost sent me into a panic.  I think it has stopped, but at least a full bleeding has not started.  i also can't help but wonder if this is from the progesterone vaginal suppositories.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this.  Sometimes i feel like it is time for me to just throw up my hand and say forget it.  This is to hard.  Having a baby was not meant to be this hard.  It is something that should be very natural and enjoyable.

[esmie1012]

Congrats on the high beta numbers.  Please dont worry too much.  Spotting is not uncommon early in pregnancy.  My sister had spotting early on and now has a healthy 8-month old boy:)
I will keep you in my prayers!

Update: Had my scan today and showing total of 5 follies brewing, 2 looks promising.  So 2 more days of injections and a scan on Thursday.  Hopefully, IUI early next week:) I've been trying to work off some stress, but sometimes my mind won't shut down.... any suggestions? =P

[Verysoon]

Thanks Guys. I am about to make a post to see if anyone has experienced spotting with a FET and it ended with a happy healthy baby. As soon as I got home from lunch I saw light pink spotting and it sent me into tears. I am praying so hard that this is ok!

UPdate- 2nd beta 953! u/s on 10.26.10! Thank you for your prayers along this road. I know that there is still plenty of road ahead. I am going to keep my faith high and stay positive. Please dont stop posting, I want to keep up with your progress.

[Verysoon]

I totally understand what you are going through. I'm on my way to get my 2nd beta in an hour and i'm on edge so to speak. I am still getting the cramping on and off I've had it the entire time. I have to remember I'm pregnant also b/c besides sore boobs and on and off very mild nausea. I don't have a lot of symptoms, which my mother keeps telling me to be glad about. We made the mistake of telling family and friends the first IVF cycle and when it ended it was just a lot to deal with. This time with the FET we only told parents and sibblings....and of course I told my 3 closest friends, I needed someone (besides you guys to vent to...lol).  They all know how we feel about it getting out so everyone is zipped. So, you have to do what's right for your family.

Try to stay calm and know that it is a very good sign that your numbers are rising. Although, I wouldnt focus totally on the numbers b/c the heart beat of course is very important.

[MEL4141]

Hello, sorry you're feeling this axious, very understandable because the symtoms you describe are like those of one just pregnant or about to get period. with my 2 attemps previously the dreaded period came, but hang in there, the fact you've only spotted and not got a heavy bleed is very emcouraging, I spotted and bled the same day. I personaly wouldnt tell any one I was pregnant until you've got through the first stage of seeing a sac, yolk and heartbeat(about 6-7 weeks) and even then its a choice thing as still very early days. This time it when it works for us, we will wait for the 12 week scan.Best of luck for friday, thinking of you love melissaxx

[Stephanie12210]

So I have gone through two whole days without spotting.  I am starting to feel a little more confident, but still worry and have to check all the time to make sure that I haven't started spotting again.  We go back on Friday and we get to see it.  The goal is to see a sack with a yolk.  This just sounds like we are making breakfast.  When do you start telling people that you are pregnant?  Right now it is all a mind thing.  I can't feel it or see it, im just being told im pregnant.  When do i tell other people?  Also, i have been experiencing some cramping as well.  I feel twinges and pulling and cramping.  Nothing unbearable, but i think we are all so hypersensitive to what is going on down there we feel everything going on.  Then i fear i am about ready to lose it and then that is why i am starting to cramp.  Any thoughts?

[Verysoon]

That is amazing news! Mine should be rather high by monday if it's supposed to double 48 hours and it started at 173. I think somewhere around 800! I just keep praying that every thing (one) sticks in and holds on tight. I still get the cramps off and on up and down. But nothing major. I don't like the "pressure" feeling on one side but I guess as long as it doesnt hurt then there is nothing to worry about. I was supposed to be on the Low carb diet for a while but I thought it was just because of the actos plu meds (im now on metformin) they had me on. But I found out it was more so b/c they want my lining to be thicker also. So now I'm all in, before I would just eat the stuff and suffer a upset stomach later. But now I wont go near it. I even sent my hubby to do the food shopping yesterday so I wouldnt be tempted to buy annything "bad".  I applaud your weight loss, that is very good. And the fact that you are sticking to it. I know that the result I want is worth not having a potatoe or two.   :-)

Mel4141- Thank you very much!
Maggi771- So sorry to here your news was grim. Please keep us posted on what you decide to do next.
Sherricoup- Sorry I'm not really good with those charts.

[MEL4141]

Warmest congratulaions on your rising levels, its so stressful going through each stage of getting pregnent and staying pregnant-thoughts are with you both, spotting is something that happens to lots of women, not a bad thing but keep an eye it doesnt turn heavy into full blown bleed.
Esmie1012, thinking of you and thanking you for your kind thoughts and wishes. and jennie68, how are you doing? are your numbers rising, great support and comfort on these forums from women who know what its like!!! sending lots of love and hope, me I am now 1dp 2dt, trying to rest and not think to far ahead, test day 22nd oct(just praying I dont start bleeding like i did last time) best wishes and update as and when, lots love melissax

[Stephanie12210]

My beta level needed to be around 177 and it was 219.  Double would have been 222, but 219 is still a positive number.  A tiny bit more spotting today.  Starting to feel nauseous and extremely tired.  

I also have PCOS and was put on the low carb diet.  I started it in July and by September I had lost 24 pounds.  Today I cheated big time on the diet.  Probably gained like 10 today alone.  I feel so bloated.  I know giving up carbs sounds like it is impossible, but really it is not that bad.  Just focus on eating meat and vegetables.  I would have an apple with peanut butter and a diet coke every night as a desert and it started to become the highlight of my day.  Just remember the outcome that you want, so this is just another hurdle you have to do.  Take it easy.

[esmie1012]

What awesome news:) I'm so happy for u! Now the dreaded 2ww.  Please take it easy (easier said than done I know=P) and find that happy place to keep you busy!

I've been reading past posts Congrats to all of you who got BFP!!.  I finished my 6th round of clomid and I normally have a 34 day cycle with O around cd19-21 but for some strange reason  I O'ed 1 week early and tomorrow is cd34 or (20dpo)!! no sign of af and temps still high.  I went in for beta this morning as hpt's are negative.  Check out my chart and let me know what you think

[prayin4_2]

Verysoon & Stephanie: Congratulations for the high beta numbers. I feel so happy for you.

jenni68: i do really hope the numbers would come up for you. may God be with you when you have this time.

well, i had my beta today morning, and i just cant do anything else than worrying. every phone ringing makes my heart jump up and down. i am so anxious, never been like this before. i will have my result in an hour or two. wish me luck ladies!!!

[Verysoon]

I have read that a few other women have gone through the same thing with a good beta number and it was fine. Please try not to stress ( i know you're tired of hearing that and I am too, but it's true) Keep me posted on your results today. I actually had to call my nurse yesterday and get my results b/c she hadnt called me by noon and I got my blood drawn at 730a! I hope they dont drag their feet for you. and Mel4141- That is excellent news! I will keep praying, take it very easy!

I have been placed on a LOW CARB diet (actually they asked me to do it a while ago) but they have scared me now so I am all over it. It's to make sure my lining stays healthy. I have PCOS and they say that it's good to eat this way. SO I guess no more, rice. potatos, bread or corn for me for a while.... :-(  But it's worth it to make sure that my beans stick! Pray for me. double double double numbers for Monday!  Oh and I'm now on Metformin instead of Actos plus.

[MEL4141]

Hello, firstly thankyou all for your prayers and thoughts in what has been a very stressful time getting to this stage, didnt think embie would divide but got call this morningfrom clinic, it did!! thank the lord, 2 cell at 2 day was ok, embryologist said was grade2 and not the best but certainly not the worst . So embie's back in me and I am now on the dreaded 2ww,  trying to rest and not stress now, have read lots of success stories with 2day 2 cell transfers so dont feel that bad that it wasnt at the 4 cell stage, best wishes to all and keep updating, and thanks again for saying a prayer and we've got to this stage.xx

[Stephanie12210]

So started spotting today.  Yesterday my beta was 111 and it only needed to be 50.  i was so excited.  i only spotted sporadically throughout the day.  Very light spotting, but it was there and red.  I called the doctor and they told me to lay down for 24 hours.  im supposed to be my beta checked in the morning and hopefully it has doubled.  Has anyone ever had spotting?  Is this a bad sign?

[jenni68]

Congratulations!!!  I am so thrilled to hear your news.. The numbers sound great.. enjoy this wonderful time.. You give me hope...
