Hi ladies,
I also am at RMA but their westchester office...White Plains, NY as its a 15 min drive for me. I'm currently scheduled for HSG on Tues and go in Wed morning to check on follies and possibly trigger, followed by IUI.

 

[Spoiledangel]

Welcome Lucinda..

Well ladies just got my phone call!!!!! 1st Beta is 191, p4 19.5, e2 387 I'm thrilled at the numbers compared to my pasts so I'm starting to be optimistic just praying it doubles by Tuesday!!!

 

[Kins]

Congrats spoiled sooooo happy 4 u

 

[Littlee49]

Congrats spoiled!!! Great beta!

 

[Gabie20]

Spoiled woohoo great beta

 

[jchic]

Great beta!!!! I wonder if you have 2?! Remember beta can go up 70 percent. It doesnt have to double in 2 days. My first beta didnt. Everyones doubling time is different.
Lucinda- welcome! Rma nj is amazing and you will love them. Dr Kim is very straightforward. No wsrm and fuzzy etc. Hes a top notch Doctor and phenomenal. I had Dr. Morris and saw her alot, loved her.

 

[Lucinda7981]

Congrats spoiled;those are awesome #'s!!

 

[Spoiledangel]

Thanks ladies I don't really care if its 1 or 2 (would love twins can't lie after trying so long) but as long as the embie/embies stay put and grow healthy I will be happy. On another note I do refer to them as twins for now because I don't want to jinx the one by saying its not there lol I know I'm odd but very superstitious.

As for the doubling she said they want to see it at 66% I would feel better the higher it got though honestly I am thrilled with today's number and still a little in shock try #1 worked!!

 

[iheartqueens]

Ugh, I was convinced by 3:30pm that they had forgotten to call me since they called me at 12:30pm on Friday and when I called the office the answering machine said that they close at noon. Drove myself crazy, and my hubby too... Then we finally got the call around 4pm. The nurse said my numbers did exactly what they want them to do and that they'll see me a week from tomorrow for blood work and an ultrasound. AN ULTRASOUND, our first ever!!! We are so excited! I only asked for my beta which is 195, so it more than doubled!

Spoiled - Yayayayay! Congrats, great numbers! I too still refer to my pregnancy as twins... fingers crossed that we both have two, we've waited long enough

Hi Lucinda, Welcome! I've been to the Westchester office or monitoring a few times, mostly with my IUI in May though... apparently they have added another doctor since then so it's busier than I remember. Dr. Klein is really nice, I've seen him in both offices and he was the one that did my successful ET in NYC a few weeks ago. Good luck!!!

 

[Spoiledangel]

I was thinking of you Iheart wondering what happened mine called at 12:30 and I was a wreck shocked I still have nails waiting lol

Yay for good numbers, now just hoping my 2nd is good!!! So only 2 betas?? Then u/s in a week!!! I wonder if NJ has the same protocol it might ease my nerves a bit if my 1st u/s was in 9 days because til then I will be on edge.... So we're you nosy to look up your due date?? Lol I had to I thought August but the FET/IVF calculator said July and were only 2 days apart that would be an amazing birthday gift to me!!! Lol. It said single 7/28 and twins 7/6 I'm right in the middle @ the 15th I like being prepared with this knowledge lol

 

[Lucinda7981]

Thank you iheart...Dr. Klein is my doctor at the Westchester office and I too think he's really nice! We are starting with IUI because Dr Klein feels that it's worth a try but would normally reccomended IVF because of DH's low motility. I am hoping the IUI works for us but am keeping an open mind regarding IVF. The only time I've been to NYC office was on a sat because I needed a specimen cup! BTW congrats on the numbers!!!!

 

[iheartqueens]

Spoiled - I am guessing that NJ is on pretty much the same schedule at NY As long as your numbers are doing what they are supposed to then I would think that they won't need you back for at least another week. Yes of course I looked up my due date, right on schedule 2 days before you. Hoping for a very happy birthday for you next year!!! My mind is just racing... wish I could fast forward one week!

Lucinda - We did 2 IUIs and 2 IVFs before switching to RMA and we did an IUI in May before doing an IVF this time around. It's a tough decision, we have plenty more IUIs covered by insurance but it's a lot of work - especially if you're on injectables because you have to be monitored the same as with IVF and it's harder to control. For instance, Dr. Grunfeld at RMA told me that I would have had quadruplets if he had waited two more days to trigger. Instead it was a bust because they try to avoid high order multiples. Who knows if it would have worked out anyway. I definitely think it's worth trying first though, even a few times. The IVF is also a lot of work but at least the chances of becoming pregnant are higher. You'll figure it out as you go along. Fingers crossed for you!

 

[Lucinda7981]

Thanks for the reply iheart....we started with clomid 50 mg for this first IUI; checking follies on Cd 10 (Wed) and when ready will trigger. Plan is to give IUI a couple of tries and if it hasn't worked then we will move on to something else. Will keep u posted !!!

 

[ashknowsbest]

I'm ready to come back ... I've had about 5-6 days to accept that my first IVF didn't work ... I will be fine, I'm just excited now to get started with my next one .. my doctor called Friday (the day of my beta after the nurse called me to let me know that they were (the embryologist and RE) discussing what went wrong, what they could do differently ,etc. and he said they're going to try ICSI and assisted hatching since it seems that I'm having implantation problems and fertilization problems since only 10 out of the 25 eggs fertilized. I'm happy we have a plan and I'm meeting with him on December 3rd and I will be asking him lots of questions, I already have a list!

Spoiled and iheart - huge congratulations on your positive betas! That is amazing and I'm hoping to join you girl soon!
