Kins said:
Okay so they just called and said my HCG went up to 159 was 39.7 but my progesterone is still low at 6.2 was 0.4 like you they want me to come back in two days. They said they cant tell one way or the other just yet and its too early for an ultra sound. It wouldnt show anything.

I took ovidrel on 9/19. This whole process is confusing me i mean the time frames and #s just arent adding up...right?

Owell I cant dwell on it. I am ready for a new cycle if it has to be done on wednesday for now I will continue with the Crinone and positive thoughts :)

Good luck on your BFP

Kins, I'm confused. Your beta went from 39.78 to 159 over 48 hours? That is a great increase! Or was it over a longer period of time? And what is your progesterone - 6.2? What is the 0.4?? Your progesterone before trigger? Your progesterone is low, but you are on crinone so that should help a lot, but it won't be reflected in your blood work... What did your doctor or nurse say about your progesterone levels? When do you go back?

Little good Luck on your beta :)

AFM - it's finally here my ER is tomorrow at noon, E2 is 5633 p4 is 1.5, 1st trigger was last night and they have me doing a booster tonight. Last scan we had 22 measurable and 7 under 11mm, 8 were between 19-21mm, 6 between 17-18mm, crossing my fingers at least 1/2 are mature :) then to worry about fertilization and making it to day 5.

Sounds like you will have ~ 14 mature which is GREAT! I had 19 measurable, but some of them were very small (< 10 mm), so they weren't retrieved. I think for me, on trigger day all follicles > 12-13 mm ended up being mature. I had 12 retrieved and ALL were mature.

Alright girls....I'm driving myself crazy over here. My transfer was only on Saturday and I already want to poas. My bw is Monday (I know, only 6 days away, suck it up)...but I'm so anxious! I really, really want this to work so badly. I'm over analyzing EVERYTHING!

So...what's the earliest someone got a BFP after FET?? I don't want to be devastated with a negative but want to know if it worked ASAP! I feel like a crazy person! Haha but I know you all understand...so thanks for letting me vent!:wacko:

I personally am not a fan of the daily POAS rollercoaster, and I know it would have been very hard to see a BFN even if it was early. So I waited until the day before beta (13 dpo or 8dp5dt) before testing, and I'm glad I waited because it was a very clear BFP on both FRER and CBE digi. Good luck! I also did PGD - having done it once, I can't imagine the uncertainty of not doing it.
 
Hi JChic.....thats what I said I am CONFUSED!!

I had my ovidrel 9/19/2012 , Started on Crinone couple days later. 10/2/12 POAS-> BFN so I stopped the Crinone and AF came about two days later. I went in for blood work on Friday 10/5/12 and my HCG was 39.7 but my estrogen level was only 0.4 they were assuming I had a chemical pregnancy but couldnt be completely sure so they told me to start using the CRINONE again and then so I went back for more blood work Monday 10/8/12 so three days later. The results came back as HCG 159 and Estrogen 6.2 and then they told me they want to check my blood work again in two days-meaning tomorrow 10/10/12. So at this point in time I am so lost. I though the 2ww was bad haha these every couple day things are driving me batty.
 
Oops that last response was in regards to DaisyQ not JChic....
 
So as for the low progesterone the nurse or tech that called me back said the low progesterone doesnt necessarily mean you cant have a viable pregnancy she said many women have has low numbers. Apparently it is supposed to be great then 10 or something right?

My progesterone levels have always been <0.2 when I was on my injectables. This is the first time the numbers have ever been higher then <0.2.

I dunno im just confused.
 
Your doubling time over the three days between beta number one and beta number two is good. Ideally they like progesterone over 10. But you are on progesterone support so it's fine. If this pregnancy is a go, you'll like have to remain on the crinone until 10 weeks or so.
 
Kins - I think that doubling time is perfect. They like to see it go up by 60% or more every 48 hours and you definitely meet that. You will stay on the suppositories until you leave RMA, which will help your levels now. I stopped mine at 8wks 4 days as my progesterone was over 40. I cant wait to hear your update! Have everything crossed for you!
 
Well...I gave in and poas this am :bfp: !! Now praying harder than ever that they stay in there for good!!!
 
Little - what GREAT news! So excited for you!!!!!!!! When is your beta?
 
Hey ladies well im on DPO5--i think--i triggered on Friday but not sure what do you count as the day of ovulation, the day you trigger or 24 hrs later? anyone know.

also since i am all paranoid and anxious, i started tracking my BBT to make sure i ovulated--see paranoia! has anyone here tracked BBT and what are your experience with it? Right now im seeing a small rise daily but i only started tracking since saturday.

I had b/w for P today. also my rn said that i may need to take a second trigger shot if levels are low...how and what is this for? she mentioned ovidrel is progresteron but all i read is that ovidrel is HCG.
 
little - congrats! FX'd it sticks for you! Was this your first IVF?

poms - I didn't BBT while going through IUI and I'm still not BBTing through IVF because with all of the stress that those procedures brings it's just too much to track the temperature. Best of luck!

Thank you! No, this is actually my 4th round of IVF. Had 1 didn't take, 2 m/c from others. This is my first round with RMA and using PGD
 
Well had my ER yesterday we got 16 mature eggs total, it was so fast they walked me in at 11:55 I was awake by DH at 12:15 and left by 12:40 never expected it to be that fast, having a little discomfort like soreness today but nothing horrible.

Now just anxiously waiting my fertilization report were doing all ICSI I would be thrilled with even 1/2 at this point, they also gave me the HCG study info.... Anyone have it done on a fresh cycle it says 15% higher rates so I'm definately considering it I would just like to hear from others on it:)
 
Well my nurse must have felt my desperation lol just got my fertilization report 12 were fertilized with ICSI & 8 are growing normally, I prayed That at lease 1/2 would make it so I got what I asked for, I wish it was more but happy with that. I won't hear anything again until 10/14 which might drive me insane. That's when they will let me know if they are on time, if they are 1 day behind than they suggest a freeze all and a FET next month. I'm just hoping their on time:)
 
Hi All--I am new to all this-been to RMA for bloodwork and have my follow up visit with Dr. Morris tomorrow so it looks like all of you are WAY ahead of me.I am so confused by all the abbreviations lol but I guess as I go further on with treatment I will learn them all. I'm assuming DH means husband????

I enjoy reading all the posts and find it very informative :)

J-CHIC thanks for crossing everything for me. haha I went this morning for blood work anxiously awaiting the call back. Im really nervous I was expecting a BFN since by POAS was BFN but as the HCG goes up its getting my hopes up and I dont want to be crushed. Owell couple more hours and I will get another answer....ugh soooo nervous. Like I can feel myself preparing for the tears again haha. Im nuts


LITTLE- AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you

POMS- I check my BBT and it seems to be in sync with my RE stuff. ie: i got ovidrel and my temp went up, AF came and temp went down but now its back up. With the doctors following along you really dont need to check temps but I do so I can have a big picture of whats going on and I like charts and graphs haha. As for when you actually ovulate after ovidrel I am not sure. I think its 24-36 hrs later- but everyone is different. Good luck to you. My recommendation is dont POAS till the day of your blood work haha. B/c I did and now I am screwed up as to what is real and what is not.

So I have a question. May be silly BUT if they freeze them wouldnt that Stop the growth? How can they then do a FET later if they were ready when they were frozen. Does this question make sense? haha

Hi ARMYWIFE- Welcome. I too was lost when I first started on here but all the ladies here are VERY open and honest with answering questions so ask away and good luck to your road to mommyhood
 
Little! Congrats!

Spoiledangel, fx for you. Just a heads up, it's very unlikely all 8 will make it to blast. Usually about 30-50% of fertilized eggs will make it to blast, so I'd anticipate 4-6 blasts.

Poms, ovidrel is hcg. A booster somehow boosts your own natural progesterone level, not sure how it works.

Kins, when embryos are frozen, their growth is halted. They can stay frozen indefinitely. Once thawed, they will (hopefully) continue to divide and grow.

Army, welcome! You will love dr Morris - she is a rock star and got both Jchic and I knocked up, first round. Good luck!
