I am so sorry.  I have been through this several times before and it is the absolute worst.  It stinks and it's not fair.  Try to stay strong and remember to take time for yourself.  You are in my prayers.

babywanted556 -  CONGRATS

cwolf1006 and babywanted556 - wishing you all the best for your beta.

I had to go in for blood yesterday and they changed my beta test from next Monday to this Saturday!!!!  Happy about that but the wait from when they take the blood and when you get the call is really the worst.

Why do the doctors all use different dates for the beta my transfer was 1/20 and I am going in 11 days after 12 if you count the day of???

lil_schelle-I am still thinking of you!

waitingforbaby1023-Thanks for the well wishes, same to you!! I am not sure why the betas are all on a different day, mine is 13 days after FET, 14 if you count the day of, for some reason everyone else's was on day 12! Darn it, that would mean mine was tomorrow! I just need to know!

Good luck to you again and to babywanted, sounds promising for her! She rec. a + on a HPT! SSBD to all!

Babywanted:  Congrats on your BFP!!!!  Can't wait to see your beta numbers.

lil_schelle:  I am so sorry to hear about you neg.  Please do not give up.  I will keep you in my prayers.  We are here if you need us :)

ALL:  First of all SSBD to everyone.  Just went to the RE today for my 1st beta and it was a 132!!!!   The RE transferred 3 embies, in the 3 range out of 4.  It's hard to say if it's more than one or not since there are so many factors.  The only symptoms that I have had consistently were headache, sore bbs, and backaches.

mwhitcomb- congrats on your BFP you will be in my prayers.Happy nine months!!!

Babywanted- no more test for me.It is official BFN. Good lick on your beta!

cwolf- Good luck on your beta!! How much does FET cost? If i do fet  will be a while. I need to collect myself before i even consider trying again.

I will be waiting to here some more BFP the next couple of days!!

lil_schelle-Hey, I took a HPT and it states BFN, so I don't really have my hopes up for the beta tomorrow, my DH says not to give up just yet, it's just so hard!  The FET I have done cost about $3000 for thawing of embies, monitoring and transfer, the bloodwork was separate as well as the meds, which were close to $1000, so not nearly as bad a fresh cycles, but it all adds up, we have done 1 fresh and 2 frozen all within a year, so we are done as well for a while, I am thinking that if it's indeed neg. I will wait a month or so and set up a consultation and weigh all the options once again, before spending any more $$$. Keep me posted on what you decide, maybe we will be cycles buddies in the future :) I am thinking of you and I know it hurts but we do just have to think, it's not over yet!

cwolf1006 - &  lil_schelle - I am so sorry.  Having to go through all these ups and downs stinks.  It's not fair and they should make it more affordable as well.  You will both be in my thoughts.  Try to take some time for yourself, get away for a few days if you can.  
Best wishes

Well I didn't even take my own advise I was going nuts yesterday bought a clear blue easy digital (they dedect a level as low as 15)and did it this morning. I got a positive!!!!!!!  I went to RE for blood and my level is low 18 but he said that is normal since I am only day 9 since ET.  Since I have had several miscarriages this is the worst time for me.  My levels never double for the 2nd test but RE: said these were the best quality eggs yet and since it is showing early these are my best chances so far.  We did PGD with these eggs.  I will be going in Saturday to see if my level doubles.  I will keep you posted.  SSBD!!!!!

Baby stick....stick.

Waiting for baby-Yipee on the BFP! Your numbers will double, it will be great this time, Congrats and keep us posted!

mwhitcomb-You will be fantastic, Feb. 10th, what a wonderful Valentine's Day gift! I am so curious to hear if it's more that one!

Lil-_schelle-I am going to make a consult appt. soon, they have FET cycles starting in March and May, I am thinking March is too soon, but we will see! When did you say your FET could be? Let's keep in touch!

Best wishes to all you soon to be Mommies and I am praying for all the rest! SSBD!

Re said we could do FET next month, but i am just not sure. I need to get my head straight before i consider anything at this point. I tend to be very emotional and this has just threw me for a loop!

How are you doing?
Blank
Avatar_f_tn
I just wanted to thank you all for the well wishes. I am praying for all of us.
Will let you know my numbers after bloodwork tomorrow.  It has to at least have doubled so even a 36 since I am early would be good news.

Cwolf-thanks thats all I keep thinking, stick baby stick and grow baby grow!!!

mwhitcomb-thanks for your encouragement.  It means a lot.

Level of 139 today RE says it looks good but I am worried because I am one point of doubling.  I always get into trouble at this point.  Back to RE in a couple of days for another beta.

I am so sick of all this waiting and then waiting some more and then waiting again.  

Babywanted-  How did you today?

SSBD...grow babies grow!!!!!

Avatar_f_tn
I just draw the blood this morning from my insurance facility not from RE office, so I won't have result back till another day or two.
I feel dizzy yesterday badly, and cramp on and off.  I got very faint line on the first beta on last Wed. and I didn't try HPT again, so I don't know the line get darker or not.
your beta level is really good.  
SSBD.

Avatar_f_tn
the nurse just called and want to do u/s on 2/10/09.  Is it too early to see something?
I believe HCG have to be over 2000 in order to see the yolk sac.  she said RE hopes to see something by then.

Avatar_f_tn
Beta today of 257 from 139 Monday!!!!!!Re said even though it didn't completly double that it looks good.  Now instead of every 2 days I have to go once a week.  Not sure what is worse at least every 2 days you know whats up waiting a week seems harder.  SSBD
Blank
Avatar_f_tn
It's a good number.  My beta is always once every week.  Maybe I started at too low HCG, and RE won't see much change in 2 days, so let me do one a week.
Blank
Avatar_f_tn
Ok so the waiting between appointments is driving me nuts.  My last beta wed 2/4 was good 257 and Dr. said come back in a week.  I can't wait that long so I called the Dr. and asked if I could have another beta tomorrow 2/7.  Anyway I am going back in just to see if my beta is still ok.  
Blank
Avatar_f_tn
your number is raising good and double.  I'm sure you'll be get another good news on 2/7.

I'm bleeding since wed. night, not much, but red blood there, it makes me loosing hope.  My beta on Monday 104 (16 dp3t - not double), on Thurs. 286 (19 dp3t - low, but seem doubling), I'll have another one on 2/8.  I put myself in bedrest now since yesterday.

babywanted - Just keep praying.  You never know what can happen.  You have your ultrasound tomorrow right?  

Mwhitcomb- Tomorrow is the big!!!! You must be so excited. Your wait is finally over. Keep us posted.  

I am praying for all of us.


I got another good Beta.  Wednesday was 257 Saturday was 923.  I go back this Wednesday 2/11 again and if all is well 1st ultrasound will be Wednesday 2/18.  My due date would be 10.10.09... SSBD!!!!!

Mwhitcomb and babywanted-  How did your ultrasounds go?
Blank
Avatar_f_tn
not a good news for me
HCG 2073 on 2/10/09 (873 on 2/8/09), more than double, but RE could not find anything in the uterus at all.  He's worried for etopic pregnancy.

Avatar_f_tn
Babywanted- I am so sorry.  But your levels are doubling so what is your RE suggesting now?   I will keep praying for you.  SSBD.
Blank
Avatar_f_tn
maybe I'll have another U/S on 2/13/09.  Just wait now.

Avatar_f_tn
Beta was 3600 today I have my first ultrasound next Friday!!!!
Blank
Avatar_f_tn
How are you doing?  
Blank
Avatar_f_tn
My HCG still double so far, still spotting, cramps and back pain on and off.  at 6w2d, HCG >4700, RE still can not see the sac in uterus and he marks me as ectopic pregnancy and wants me to take the medicine to terminate it.  I just have another HCG this morning and will have my last U/S tomorrow.  If it's true, I got to accept it.
Keep me post yours.
Best wish.

Hi all I just want to know if there are other people going through IVF at this time. the forum seems a bit quite or may be I am looking at the wrong spot.
I just went through my egg pick up yesterday. We got 4 mature eggs out of which all 4 fertilised. The transfer is supposed to be on tuesday. I just feel like I need to share what I am going through with some one who would understand what I am talking about.
Blank

I am getting set to start IVF and would like to have people to share with.  My husband and I are keeping this quiet with friends and family to avoid any disappointing news.  Anyone else starting the procedure during July?
