2ww

Hey everyone!  I am currently 7dp3dt today.  I had 2 8-cell embies placed last Thursday.  I have some side effects such as sore boobs, insomnia, off and on nausea, and always hungry!  Im sure those are the side effects of the Endometrin I take 3xdaily!  I go in for a beta on day 11 which in Monday.  Despite all efforts, I have poas everyday and is negative.  I know it could still be too early. This is my first IVF cycle and it may be my only one due to cost.  Anyone in this wait with me?

[marjay74]

Hi.  I'm also on my 7dp3dt today!  This is also my 1st IVF and most likely my last also due to the money situation.  I've also had the same symptoms, but then again, I also get this way prior to my AF so it's very confusing ): Well, let's just pray that this will work for us.  Hang in there and keep me posted!

Good luck!

[baby4me143]

Good luck to you too!  So nice to have others out there!  When is your beta?

[MustangSally14]

Hi!  I am 3dp5dt today!  I have the sore chest, some nausea, and having to urinate a lot as well as feeling hot.  This is exactly how I felt when I was pregnant last year before I miscarried.  You are right though, it could be from the Endometrin, I am on it 3 xs a day, plus taking Estrogen shots.

[MustangSally14]

I'm posting one more time to add this thread to my watch list.

[marjay74]

My beta should be on Monday but my husband wants to wait until the 16th (his birthday)....not sure if that's a good idea or not, plus my bday falls the following day on the 17th.....don't know if I can wait that long.

MustangSally14, i've been with off and on hot flashes and a little nauseas today. I don't know...maybe the Progesterone??

What a roller coaster this is!

[marjay74]

BTW I'm taking the Endometrin 2x's a day....

Hi all I too am just beginning the 2ww. I had my transfer of 3 frozen embryos, (2) 9 cells and (1) 12 cells, just this morning at 7:45am. This is my second cycle. The first was back in Feb. Had 2 fresh embryos transferrd which resulted in a BFN. As the others said this will be our last opportunity due to financial reasons. The last time the 2ww almost drove me crazy. All I did was read forums like this and do research online. This time I am going to pray, relax, and leave it in God's hands. Whats for me is for me and I am claiming this transfer a success and a healthy pregnancy in Jesus name. I will also pray for each of you. My pt is scheduled for June 22 so I will keep everyone posted, please do the same. BABY DUST AND BLESSINGS to you all.

[MustangSally14]

Marjay74, I don't know if I could wait. My husbands birthday is Sunday the 12th and I am so going to POAS before then. I can't help myself.  I am totally aware of it and I am totally in obsessed mode. I went and bought tests and am going to start to POAS tomorrow.  I know it's early, but again, I cannot help myself.   I am pee'ing every hour and I'm not doing anything different then normal so I'm not sure what that's about?  

Why does your husband want to wait for his birthday to do the beta?  I would do it asap because if there is something wrong (and I pray that there isn't), you need to know ASAP.  My first pregnancy was an ectopic (which of course is rare with IVFs) but it was important to know asap.

Blessdnhighlyfavored, I wish I had your calmness and great perspective.  This 2WW is driving me nuts!!! lol

[marjay74]

MustangSally14 - Trust me, I don't think I can wait either.  I agree with you, I need to know asap.  I'm going insane myself, lol, if he wants, I can give him the news on his bday but I cannot wait till then.  

Blessdnhighlyfavored - This is my first IVF and I too been just researching and reading online myself to some points that I had to shut down my laptop from feeling even more stressful until I found this forum.  It has been a blessing to read and speak to other woman who are going through the same thing.  I've been on bed rest since day one and this forum has made it much easier for me.

Lots of baby dust to all!

[MustangSally14]

Good Morning Ladies!  We made it another day (for those of us checking this site daily), Yay!  My symptoms seem to have subsided other then a touch of breast tenderness.  Hubby gave me my estrogen shot this morning and I've taken my morning progesterone.

I POAS this morning with a bfn.  It's only 9dpo, 4dp5dt, so I know it's totally early.  I expect a bfp soon though, lol.  I have convinced myself I am preggers.  I hope I am right.

How is everyone else doing today?

[baby4me143]

Good luck ladies!! I finally got my BFP!  I tested on 8dp3dt.  My beta is Monday and I cannot wait!  I have been having waves of nausea and very tired.  Tired but just slept 5 hours and wide awake now!!  I have also been having headaches. I went out with my husband last night and before we left he goes, "Pee again."  So I did.  The line was even darker.  I said ok now that I have done 4 tests in a couple of hours and all are positive, are you convinced?  He was then very happy.  I told my parents and my dad was all chocked up.  Made me cry!!  I hope you are doing well and my fingers are crossed for you!!

[baby4me143]

OOoohhh I def couldnt wait!  Does your husband want bad news on his birthday if its negative?  Which of course its not!  

Have you poas?  I am living proof you can get a positive this early.  Keep your head up.  Think positive thoughts.

[marjay74]

Congrats on the bfp!

I think my husband is just as nervous as I am.  He actually told me to POAS this morning just for the heck of it which I told him it's too early and of course it was bfn :(.....

Yesterday I actually didn't have much symptoms but of course I woke up this morning with the headaches again, and after the bfn, it's gotten worse.  I wish I didn't do the hpt.

Oh well, I still have little hopes but afraid.....

I also spoke to my doctor and he actually wants me to finish my Endometirn before the beta so I guess I have no choice now but to wait until Wednesday......ughhhhh.....I don't know how much more I can take of this.  I'm trying to stay positive but that dam hpt but a damper on my day :-(

[baby4me143]

Dont let that BFN get to you.  Still early.  I'm confused that your doctor wants you to finish Endometrin prior to Beta.  My doctor has me on it till 11 weeks or so.  Just untill the Placenta develops.  

You will be in my prayers for your dream to come true.

[MustangSally14]

Hi Ladies, I am 11dpo and I got a bfn this morning on hpt. Pretty bummed out.  I still have hope as I know some other ladies who didn't get a  pos until 12dpo.  

I am at the beach for the week with my hubby, step daughter and a friend of hers.  I am so scared that this is neg now caz I thought I'd have a pos by now (11 dpo).  Last year it was late in the evening on 11dpo that I got a positive, but still.  I was so convinced this worked this time, now I'm not so sure.

[marjay74]

MustangSally14 , Don't loose hope! Just keep your mind distracted, enjoy your time with the family and wait until your beta.  Please stay strong!  

Baby4me143, please keep us posted on your beta and thanks for your prayers.

I've been trying to relax these couple of days at home and keeping my mind distracted as well.  I really haven't had any symptoms until just recently.  I'm feeling a little nauseas and backaches.  Today is 11dpo and holding on from doing another HPT.  I really got really depressed after the one I did and I just don't want to put myself through that again.

BETA on Wednesday.............(fingers crossed)

Hoping for lots of baby dust for all of us!

[MustangSally14]

Marjay, I cried last night because I didn't think that it worked.  I've been testing everyday with BFNs.  9dpo BFN, 10dpo BFN, 11dpo BFN, 12dpo BFN......

Then, I got my BFP this morning, 13dpo. I feel concerned that it's kind of late; but maybe it implanted late and it's still okay.  My beta is Thursday morning.  I hope all is well. (pray)

[marjay74]

OMG!!!! You see....that's great news.  I'm so happy for you.  That's why I've stayed away from the hpt's.  But of course it's easier said than done. I will defenetly continue to pray for you.  Lots and lots of baby dust your way!!  

Well, yesterday I noticed some brownish stuff on my panties  ( sorry if tmi ) and today when I wiped it was a little pinkish.  I started to freak out cause I thought it was my AF visiting me.  I almost went into tears.  But has gone back to just the brownish spotting here and there.  Could it be Implantation Bleeding???  I'm so freaking out.  I don't think it's AF cause I usually don't spot, I always go flew blast.  Plus no cramping or anything.  Could it also be late implantation???  So confused especially since this is my first IVF.

Any thoughts??  Should I still go tomorrow for my beta or wait one more day??

[baby4me143]

Definalty could be implantation!  I sure hope so for you!   How are you feeling besides?  Don't do any more tests!  Wait for Beta.  Keep us posted of your beta!

MustangSally14:  Congrats to you!  What a great feeling.  How are you feeling?  I obsess over early symptoms!  Remember,  there is no such thing as a false positve.  If you have been testing every day and was negative, there is def now the hormone in your body!  Woohoo!!!

As for me... my beta was 275!!  Going again tomorrow morning for another!

[MustangSally14]

Yes, it could be implantation bleeding.  We are at the beach, TMI, and on Sunday when I showered after a day on the beach I had one blood spot on my towel. I had been swimming during the day so I wouldn't have noticed if there had been more.  From what I've researched online, it takes the blood a day or so to come out of you (I know TMI) after implantation, so that would mean it's already implanted.  Not everyone feels cramps.  I did feel some on Sunday and a few since then.

Also, the hcg starts at implantation and secretes into your bloodstream right away but takes another 2-3 days to appear in your urine, hence why beta tests are more accurate.  Plus beta testing gives us the actual amount of hcg and then the doubling is the true test if all is going well.  It sounds really positive for you!!! I have my fingerscrossed and pray you get a BFP too and we both are on our way.  :D

And yes, definitely always go for your beta. I will be going for my beta on Thursday (15dpo) as prescribed by my doctor.  

[MustangSally14]

Wow baby4me, how many days dpo are you?  275?  Is it twins?  Did they say?  It's so hard during early pregnancy to gage because everyone implants at different times.  The doubling should give you a better idea.  I am so excited for you.

Marjay, I am a POAS addict.  I could not help myself. I had two more tests (unopened) but took a picture with my cell phone of my yes and told DH to return the other two tests.  At this point I have enough hcg in my system to trigger any of the tests and I can look at my phone if I get unsure again. LOL.  I've looked at it 100 times already making sure it was Yes.  

[marjay74]

baby4me143 , Wow 275!  For what I've read that's a good number.  Let us know tomorrows numbers.  And yes, I'm staying away from the hpt.  I'll be going tomorrow for my beta. So excited and nervous at the same time.

MustangSally14, LOL, you make me laugh but with all that you've gone through I really don't blame you.  Can't wait to hear your numbers as well.

OMG, I really think this is looking very positive for us.  

Please God, grant us our prayers!

[baby4me143]

I am 12dp3dt.  Not sure how many days post o that is!  My beta was done on 11dp3dt.  I wont know if its twins till the ultrasound and have no clue when that will be.  Im assuming like 2 weeks.  

I didnt have any implantation spotting.  With the icky Endometrin always running out, not sure i would be able to tell.  Cant wait for that to be over!!!

Thanks for support ladies!  keep me posted with your numbers as well!!

[MustangSally14]

baby4me, retrieval is the same as O, you count retrieval day as 0 days.  Since you had 3dpt and your 12dp that, you are 15dpo.  Your beta was on 14dpo.  

I'm on Endometrin 3xs a day too.  I hate always wearing a mini pad, uck.  

[marjay74]

Very sad day for my husband and I :'( ......... Went for our beta this morning and it's negative.  Still on our way home we think that I just implanted late so still had little hope.  Went bathroom as soon as I got home, and who decided to visit........yeah, exactly AF.

My husband hugs me and tells me that we're not going to let this put us down and that we are just going to continue to live our lifes and just nature take it's course.  Oh how I love him so much.  I should be glad to have such a supporting husband but it only kills me more inside because I know that he is hurting inside but refuse to show me.

Well ladies  I will continue to pray for you all and my God grant you your dreams!  I am looking forward to continue to read your success stories online but for now I will need some time to recover from this.

May God be with you all and lots and lots of baby dust to you all!

MarJay74

[baby4me143]

I am so sorry to hear.  I had tears for you when I read this.  Take time for yourself.  Look forward to hearing from you soon to see how u are doing.

[MustangSally14]

Marjay74, I am so sorry.  I've done 3 IUIs and 2 IVFs, with one ectopic, one chemical pregnancy and one miscarriage after the heartbeat, the other 2 were just BFNs for us, I know how you feel.  Please pamper yourself over the next few weeks.  I look forward to hearing from you when you are ready.  {{{Hugs}}}

[baby4me143]

My second beta is 583.  Going again next Thursday for another beta and if it is over 1,000 we will schedule ultrasound!  Really hope these numbers keep going up!

MustangSally14:  How r u feeling?  beta tomorrow right?

[MustangSally14]

Yay Baby4me, great beta!!!  I am so excited for you.  Next Thursday as in one week you will be going back?  Or next Thursday as in today?  I'm guessing next week. Still, very good news and things sound like you are well on your way. :D

We went to the lab early this morning and they've assured me results will come back to my doctor this afternoon (same day).  I hope it's before the offices close and that it's a decent number.  Of course, it's the 2nd beta that matters more.  Still, having had a chemical pregnancy in the past, I hope that this number is within range of a potential viable pregnancy.  Doubling beta will be on Monday if all is okay.  

[HopefulBetsy]

hi ladies,
Im 41 no kids, 1st IVF April 2011 5 small embies - BFN  
2nd IVF - June 10th transfer Qty 6 , 3 day Embies,  Qty 4, 8-cell, GradeA ( less than 5% fragmentation!!!!,) Qty 1, 7-Cell GradeA!!! and Qty 1, 9-Cell GradeB ( still normal grade) ........  I was so elated that I had such good luck to get 6 such highquality to transplant ( froze 2) - My fear is that this is the best I was ever gonna get and with my ****** luck none will implant - My fist test is June 22.   I can't even keep my mind at work - i think of NOTHING else but this! UGH

[baby4me143]

My 3rd beta is next Thursday. Cant believe I have to wait that long!  Of course the wait is worth it.  I hope things stay rising!!

I cant wait to hear bout your beta!  If you havent heard, I would call the office 15 min before they close!  Thats what I was gonna do but they called just before I was going to.  

Keep me posted!  My fingers are crossed tighlty!

[HopefulBetsy]

Hello Blessdnhighlyfavored,  
I was reading the string - and I see your beta is June 22 , me too :)
Just wanted to say hello and good luck!!

[MustangSally14]

Hi Ladies... waiting is so hard.  I thought for sure (and was told not to get my hopes up either) that today I would get my really bad news after an HCG of 10 on 15 DPO.  Well, I got an HCG of 58 today on 19DPO, so it's doubling.... but it's so extremely low that I am scared it's going to be a miscarriage.  Most sites say I should be way above the hcg level I am at now, so I dunno?

[baby4me143]

So happy to hear from you!  I was so nervous for you.  I have read not to look at the numbers.  It more than doubled so that is a good thing.  When is your next one?  Im praying for sticky vibes for you! How are you feeling?

So I had an ultrasound over the weekend cause i had some bleeding.  My Beta was 2,630.  Everthing looked fine on ultrasound.  In fact, BOTH sacs already had a yolk sac!  Yep its twins.  I know it is still early.  I have read alot about the "vanishing twin" .  I go for another ultrasound on July 7th.  

Keep me posted with your numbers!

[MustangSally14]

Baby4me... twins!!!  I am so excited for you.  That is fantastic!!!  

I had a blood draw this morning and results should be in this afternoon. I'm a mess right now.  Praying I still get the doubling and that the low level of hcg does not matter.

[baby4me143]

My fingers and toes are crossed for you!

[HopefulBetsy]

Morning Ladies,
I got my BFP on Wednesdy 6/22  .. I am so thankfull to God.   and I thank this board - Unfortuanltey I didn't have many conversations with the ladies but for 2 weeks I read these posts allk day long and it helped me so much.
I never thought I'd ever have a baby . I've workd so hard and prayed so hard,  Good Luck to you all!

[marjay74]

baby4me143 -  Twins....wow how exciting! Congrats!!!  Please continue to keep us posted.

MustangSally14 - I also have my fingers and toes crossed for you....hope that your numbers have doubled.

HopefulBetsy -  Congrats on your BFP!  Did you go for your BETA?

This forum has been amazing for me as well.  Even though it didn't work out for me but just to get so much support from other women that are going through the same thing really helped out.

As for myself, both my husband and I are going to just live our life for now.  Even though at times it really gets to me especially when I see our friends and family with their kids.  I'm just thankful for having a wonderful husband and for now, I'll just leave it up to God.

Congrats again ladies! xoxo

[HopefulBetsy]

Hi Marjay
Thanks so much the congrats, Im still in absolute shock,
Yes, I went for my first beta on Wed 6/22 and it was 154.
From reading the board it seems most people go back in 2 days for second beta but my Doctor said that # is good and I need to come back in 1 week from then.  I'm SO nervous that for some reason it won't double - that's my stress now.
Fyi  I took my beta 11DP3DT  ( I transfered Quantity 6 ,   3 day Embies )

I am so sorry about your negative beta - How are you doing - I had a failed IVF in april - this is my second one. so I know how devistated you must have felt.

[love4baby14]
