Congratulations Kat S!
When you say go back to the dr, have you already had one beta HCG draw? I hate the wait in between the 2 blood tests, drives me truly crazy! Fingers crossed for you for tomorrow...

Can I jump in? I just found out today, Yay!! I'm a September 5, due date also. I had a blood test today, 12dp5dt, and my level was at 721....I'm thinking this is high, so I am curious to see what my level will be at my next blood test, which is on Tuesday.
No real symptoms yet, just feeling tired. Also, when I was brushing my teeth this morning with an electric toothbrush, I got really nauseous from the smell of the toothpaste, and having the toothbrush in my mouth made me want to get sick!
EvansAngel, Thanks for adding me! Sorry, I am used to posting in the "Assisted Conception" board, and they use different acronyms. 12dp5dt means "12 days past a 5 day transfer". 12 days ago I had my embryo transfer for IVF, and the embryo was 5 days old at the time. Does that make sense?
The hCG level does seem high. It will be my first pregnancy, so I don't really know what is "normal." We did IVF, and put two fresh blastocysts (5 day embryos) in, so it could be twins! They are going to check my blood levels again on Tuesday.
I'm not too concerned about miscarriage. I've been trying for the past three and a half years to get pregnant, and this is the first time I have seen a positive on the pregnancy test, so I'm really excited! It is hard to believe it actually worked this time!
I have added everyone upto page 12 now
If your username is slightly wrong let me know, I am on my iPad and have autocorrect on.
I tried to check it as I go but I won't be surprised if it changed it behind my back
I have had a long day at work, I said to my supervisor that if my breaks are likely to be delayed in the future I want to be able to bring food in to snack on whilst I wait. I feel sick when I am hungry, he said he is 100% ok with it and the manager will be as well
Had a few cramps today, nothing to bad so I am hopeful that baby is just making my womb more homely for itself hehe.
Wow ladies! So glad we can share stories and our journey! I can't wait for first apt. Couldn't even get in until next week for blood test.... Ugh I hope my numbers are doubling! I'm an identical twin so I'm curious to see if I have more than one. I'm guessing one, but since this is my first I'm clueless. Twins run on both sides hugely in my family. Anyone here know they have multiples?
As of me I am extremely tired, emotional, little crampy on days and mild constipation do far. Overall feeling ok. Some foods have me turned off... Like chocolate which I used to love and crave. How are you ladies doing?
