Anyone doing FET/IVF in Jan 2013 till everyone's BFP (Everyone Welcome)

[MoBaby]

TURKEY!! CONGRATS!!! You are preggo...My first BFP I spent endless time worrying about the number because it was low and it continued to double like it should. It was the most stressful time and looking back I should have just relaxed. (RE blames my fibroid then for the MC). My RE said he has seen numbers in the teens and it go onto a healthy pregnancy. Dont stress and wait until your next beta. In the end, what is meant to happen will. I had both low betas and high betas and the same outcome so where the number starts doesnt matter. I see so many girls here with low numbers have their forever baby.

Hi girls...just got the call, and I'm pregnant. But I'm freaking out cuz my # is 37.5...she said that was on the low side, but that it didn't matter as long as it was higher come Thursday (next bloodwork appt). I can't stop crying cuz I don't know what to think. I POAS when I got off the phone, and there are 2 lines, but one is definitely faint. No idea how to feel...PLEASE HELP!!!

The Nurse is correct, the first number doesn't mean too much as long as it is doubling every 48 hours in the first couple of weeks, it does slow down and won't double every 48 hours as you proceed, but the initial BETAs they run should be doubling.
What DPO are you? That also makes a difference. I wouldn't stress yet, you'll need to wait until the number on Thursday!

CONGRATS on being

Thanks for the reassurance. I'm 11dp3dt so I guess 14dpo? Is that right??

Thanks Mo!!! I'm so mad at myself right now b/c I'm laying on bed bawling when I should be over the moon. After all this waiting and waiting and waiting, now there's more waiting?!?!? Next Beta Thursday....heaven help me.

 

[everhopeful]

Turkey - massive massive congrats in your BFP!! Like Mo and Ali said the number doesn't matter, as long as it doubles initially!
Try to relax and enjoy it!! This is the start of your next 20 years of worrying!!
14dpo is correct and it could have snuggled in slightly later!!
Congrats!!

Yep.. 14DPO, which is early, remember most tests only start to show at 14DPO, so I wouldn't stress at all that it is faint. It is a until proven otherwise! I think you should be very excited at the moment.

Don't be surprised if your FS keeps doing BETAs, they normally do a minimum of 2 and sometimes 3! So you might be required to do a 3rd on Saturday. Possibly more? I don't know as I've never been that far in the whole progression.

So I think for now, you should be happy

L4: you're getting close to 12 weeks! How's it going?

Thanks for asking First! Yes and I'm very anxious for that 12 week appt next Monday. Once I hear that heartbeat I think I'll be able to breath a little easier and be more excited.

SOOOOO EXCITING!! Are you going on a weekly basis?? Or have you been "discharged" to your regular ob/gyn?? The 12-week appt is a week from today??

Exciting and nerve-wracking all at once! My clinic released me at my last appt at 9w4d which is why I'm so anxious for my 12 week appt with my OB.

Wow this thread has been BUSY today!! I will have to catch up later tonight or tomorrow.

Turkey good luck tomorrow! Fingers and toes crossed for you!!

 

[L4hope]

Turkey, don't worry yet girl. Right now this means you are pregnant and what's most important is that it doubles for you! Hang in there till Thursday!

Oh my dear the waiting never stops! I'm still waiting and think ill feel that way the whole pregnancy maybe! And as Ever said the worrying for your baby is forever!!

Thanks Ali...I'm starting to feel better about everything!! One step at a time...

Turkey that is such awesome news I dont have mcu experience with beta as I have never had a bfp but I think what the ladies say is true! Enjoy the BFP hun, though I know it is hard not to worry!

Thanks ladies - dr said I wont need any bcps after this treatment...she seems to think it will clear it all up! I formed the cyst because I tried to ovulate while on the BCPs. funny enough, ovulating as never been my problem! Soooooo once I finish the 10 day course I will see my OBGYN in the Bahamas and have an ultrasound. If there is no cyst visible I will hop a plane to head back over for cd 3 which is when I will start my stimming. they expect that after I stop this treatment that my period wil be there in a few days. If the cyst is still there then I will continue on the treatment for another 5 days and have another ultrasound.

 

[Edamame]

On my phone so please forgive not long, just wanted to say congratulations Turkey!!

 

[WannabeeMum]

TTC - what a pain. I hope you're able to get your flight sorted and get back home. Fingers crossed that cyst goes away and you can start back on your journey.

Turkey - congrats!!! If it makes you feel better, when I POAS at 13dpo it was also a very faint line. My OTD was 16dpo and it wasn't until then that I got the 2nd dark line. Like the girls said, you are pregnant - enjoy it!!!!!

 

[LotusBlossom]

Ahhh! Congratulations, Turkey!!!!!

 

[Flowermal]

Congrats Turkey!!! That's is fabulous!
Don't think about the beta.. Enjoy the moment and take time to celebrate the life in you.. Try to stay positive for the little one Hun

 

[Mells54]

Congrats Turkey! I think the worrying never ends...hugs!!!!

Ttc that really sucks you developed a cyst to screw up your plans. It's gotta be so difficult with flying back and forth to the Bahamas. At least it sounds like the set back shouldn't be too long.

Sandy hope your wtf appt went well and you have a good plan for moving forward.

Wannabe oh my goodness what a way to put a damper on your Saturday of pampering!! I'm sure you were so scared. I'm glad that everything looked good and hopefully your next appt will help reassure you. I don't blame you for taking it easy, I'm sure I would do the same. As for my 12 week appt, I wish I was getting an ultrasound to see my bubb. But they will only be using Doppler to listen for the heartbeat. No more ultrasound till 20 week anatomy scan!!! Feels so far away but nothing I can do, I already tried and they're not having it. Makes me miss my fertility clinic as I had an ultrasound just about every visit there!

 

[Edamame]

L4hope- oh too bad, I was looking forward to hearing how your scan went! But, it will still be cool to hear the heartbeat again!

Wanna- so sorry to hear about your scare, that sounds awful. I'm glad everything looks ok and I hope you don't have anything like that happen again!

Sandy- How'd your WTF appointment go today?

Ali- Yay for lupron, sorry for the side effects. Stay positive! It will go right this time!

TTC- So sorry things are delayed and you wasted a trip. I'm glad to hear you can get a scan at home and don't have to travel all that way again for now.

Hope everyone is doing great!

That's too bad that they don't do a scan. I just assumed that was normal protocol. I had one at 12 weeks (to the tune of $390 mind you) and will have one at 20 weeks and 34 weeks. It's total anticipation waiting to hear/see anything to do with your baby. Hearing the heartbeat will be fantastic and reassuring.

Sandy - how did your apt go? Hope you have a plan... Xx
