2nd u/s done! heart rate at 139bpm

Awesome, 2girls! What was the heart rate for your first u/s?

Thanks! it was 105 a week ago. I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with everyone's personal stories...I promise I've been reading them! I've just been soooo tired but I'm happy to be tired!

Congrats.. glad the HB is rising nicely!! How many weeks are you now?
You need to add a ticker!

Is there a way to add a ticker on this site?

Hope everyone is well

You can't fool me, Sweetness! I saw your original post! And yes, it would go down if something was wrong, but I've also read about some women's going down then back up again, but why are you worried? You have amazing betas! You can't hurry this process any more than the time it's taking! Just BREATHE!!!

I saw it as well. Personally I think you should skip it b/c it's really useless info at this point. It's stressing you way too much. But I know you'll worry either way. I'm thinking you'll see around 50% increase from yesterday. Which is perfectly normal. Can you get u/s sooner?

Congrats 2 girls and first on your US and heart rate.

Congrats 2 girls and first on your US and heart rate.

Thanks, that was actually by second! first one was 105 heartrate, this second one was 139! yay!!!

2girls, mo lol well I removed it cause I talked to the nurse prac she insured me I was fine and that it wouldn't increase much for tom and would worry me. And I mentioned an early us and she said they would only see a gestational sac and that would too make me worry lol. So I go in thurs as planned. She again reassured me I'm fine. Feel slightly better. I knowi need to chillllll

 

[MoBaby]

It's hard! I'm gonna be a wreck! I think I'm going to get the betas but ask for the number to br a secret. I don't want to know them until I see the u/s. and my plan is to hold out until 8 wks for u/s.

First - yayy congratulations!!! One perfect little bean

 

[~Brandy~]

Glad to see everyone is doing well! WOW I have alot of catching up to do the thread is blowing up! How exciting

I will be totally knocked out with general for my hysteroscopy friday and thats fine with me... That will make me sleep like a baby all Friday after the procedure. I dont wanna feel a thing.

Hey Everybody!! I'm so happy! Had to go in for bloodwork (AGAIN!) this morning to check where my HCG is at and it's finally negative...hurray!! I've been feeling AF style cramps since Sunday, and I mentioned that to the girl at my RE office's desk, she took a look at her computer and said that my lab results (from D&E) were in, but that my doc hasn't reviewed them yet. So, she said she'd mention that I felt my period was about to start, and then ask him if we could possibly start another IVF cycle with this period (my "WTF" appt isn't for another week and I imagine AF will have come & gone by then). So when I got my email it said to call on Day 1 of my period and that if I was ok with it we could start right away!!! WOOOOOOOOT! So now I have to call tomorrow for protocol details. Not sure if that means our "WTF" is off, or if someone will just give me an abridged version...I have a whole list of questions prepared, but if that means waiting another month...forget it! I just wanna get started again!! YAY!!!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Mo- that's a great idea!!! I mean most girls who don't go through this don't even know their numbers. I should have done that!!!!!! Man that's a good idea.

Turkey- that's awesome you get to jump right back in it!! They made me wait forrrrrrever! I would still meet with him to get your questions out and they possibly might change up some Meds once you get preg

 

[Em260]

Sweetness - I'm doing well, thanks for asking. It still feels very surreal and of course I'm counting down the days until my ultrasound next tuesday. I didn't see the post you took down but I can tell from the comments what it was about. I know it's hard not to worry After having had two miscarriages myself there is that little fear in the back of my head. But I'm trying really hard to enjoy the time I have with my baby girl, even if it's only a short while. My DH says worrying won't change the outcome, it will only steal the joy from this time. So I say that to myself when I start worrying and so far it's really helping!

 

[MoBaby]

Sweet it Mainly b/c I've learned betas mean jack squat lol . I had both low but doubling/tripling betas and very high and high rising betas with the same outcome. So I've decided I don't want to know and I want to wait until 8 wks b/c that will be the furthest ive made it (went to 7+5) an at 8 wks if there is a baby that is appropriate for age and such then the mc rate is low (under 5%). So that's my plan but let's see if I stick to it

 

[Em260]

2girls - congrats!

Mo - I think that nurse must be confused. I can't imagine them using general anesthesia for a hysteroscopy. I bet it's conscious sedation.

Turkey - yay!! So glad you can get started right away

Ali - I missed your post about IVIG. I'm glad it wasn't too bad this time and hopefully the side effects stay away!

 

[Em260]

Mo - I think that's a great idea about not knowing the beta numbers. I should do that for the one I have on thursday. Sometimes too much info is not a good thing!

 

[L4hope]

I agree about the betas. My office just does betas till you hit 1000, then they don't do anymore. Waiting for the first ultrasound is so hard...but Mo you are right my u/s lady said this is a big milestone at my 8week ultrasound. Not sure I could have waited though!

The heartbeat thing is a wives tale but even so my one fs said that she thinks I'm having a girl because of my high beta. Guess we'll see if that holds true.

 

[MoBaby]

I had high betas and it was a girl!! (but so was my low betas lol)

 

[L4hope]

Oh oops I meant high heartbeat not beta. But I guess that was high too.
