IVF May/June/July 2015, Lets Get Ready!

Evening ladies, :hi:

Trying to catch up on the goings on...

Wanting - increase in Beta is awesome! Congrats.
Hopeful Cat - will tentatively say congrats... really hope it is not the trigger.
Beneath - was going to say wait it out a bit longer. I had my BFP (under huge stress if you read back) on 8dp5dt. But if you have a faint positive then that is something to hold on to!!
Hope - Nearly PUPO! Awesome news.
TIFF - Wait it out... just a little longer!

AFM - Could not last until thursday and went from my third (and think last) Beta this morning. Progression results are as follows:
8DP5DT - 164
10DP5DT - 365
14DP5DT - 1 523 :happydance:

Yesterday should have been my first Beta but since i freaked out and testest earlier i almost feel cheated. Does that make sense? If i had waited until yesterday i would have been so excited to see those levels for my first test and then would have hopfully seen them go over 3 000 before the end of the week. I could go for another test this week but i dont think it will help me relax!

I am so happy about the increase in the levels but i can't allow myself to enjoy it! I am so freaked out about what could go wrong in the next few weeks. What if it is a blighted ovum when we go for our scan on the 20th? no monitoring of HCG levels could help in calming this fear and IT MIMICS A NORMAL PREGNANCY - even with doubling beta levels and other symptoms. How unfair is that? :shrug:
So a i read that a BO is a result of chromosonal deficiencies and that has made me freak out more. We did not do the genetic testing before transfer as RE advised against it at this stage. We also went from 19 fertilsed embies to just 2 blasts! Does that mean the other 17 had abnormalities? And what are the chances that these 2 were the only ones that did not!
Oh my word i am F.R.E.A.K.I.N.G out!!! ](*,)

This infertility roller coaster we are all on is so freakin' unfair. I wish i was blissfully unaware of absolutely everything that could go wrong the way so many other women are!! I decided to join the April 2016 babies board in the pregancy section - at the moment i am just silently stalking until i am certain of all of this - but it does not seem real without all my IVF/ICSI and fellow strugglers! Most of the women have been TTC for only a few months with very little of the angst we have all been through or are going through.

On a side - semi related note - I have no symptoms at all! Semi tender breasts (but nothing as bad as my PMS) and a few icky moments but could be down to anything. Not helping my anxiety levels.
For those with you BFP - when did the symptoms really start?
 
Beneath -awesome. I can't wait to see the frer!!!

Tiff so sorry Hun. I hope it is just a late implanter.

Afm- still waiting on my clotting test but all others were ok except protein is low. I am not much of a meat eater. So de did my OHSS is controlled and we are on for my transfer on Friday. Whoop whoop!
 
pecks - if it helps at all, my doc told me that once beta levels reach over 2k (or 3?), they don't keep doubling or whatnot. They kinda just rise... so getting more tests now would just be a waste of your money and time.
Try to remain calm and enjoy what you have now - you can't control what may happen and if it doesn't happen at all, look at all of the time you spent worrying when you could have been enjoying! this was wise wisdom given to me when I got my BFP. :)


full disclosure but not to make you fret - mine didn't end well but I was very thankful for the time I had with my little lentil bean and can't wait for it to hopefully happen again.
 
Pecks- my first symptoms were around 4 weeks. Peeing a lot. Hungry a lot. And very boated. Morning sickness started 5 weeks. Everyone is different though
 
Pecks - it's so hard to relax.... I understand how you feel. I was SO relieved to get my beta levels but now my focus is all on my scan next week. I hope I can relax more after that but deep down I know i'll have another goal to focus on like another scan!

TBH as for symptoms I felt ick before I even tested - in fact that's why I did end up testing early but they seem to come and go. Today I'm apparently 5 weeks and I have had no nausea but mild headaches on and off, mild heartburn, super tired and feeling super cranky!! Yesterday though and the day before I was really quite nauseous. Of course the lack of nausea today makes me worry but at the same time I know just to enjoy it cause for all I know tomorrow I could be throwing up! It's such a horrible roller coaster but the best thing you can do as I keep telling myself is to relax as much as possible and enjoy each day that you know you are pregnant. This is also my 2nd pregnancy which could be a reason why my symptoms started so early and of course there is also a slight chance that I have 2 growing in there! (Although I think 1) Sending hugs :hugs:

Thank you!! But oh my word... somewhere along my self absorbed journey I missed that you miscarried! I am so sorry and hoe you are on the mend!! :cry: :hug:
 
White- early on nausea was off and on and once I got further along it is every day! !! Blah. .I throw up 1-3 times a day!
 
Waiting you poor thing :hugs: I feel your pain cause when I was pregnant with my DS st my worst I was sick 7 times a day.... It's just awful. I'm preparing myself for the worst but hoping for the best! The only thing that makes it semi ok is knowing it will pass and when you have your healthy little baby then it was worth it 😊
 
Betty - I start PIO and other meds tomorrow.

Pecks - great numbers!!!!!

TTC - :dust: for transfer Friday!!!!
 
Todays beta for 16dp5dt and it was 1110 :) more then doubled in 48 hours woohooo I feel very relieved.
Now to wait for my scan on the 17th :thumbup:

Hope everyone is well :) xx
 
pecks - grrrrrrl psshhhh - don't worry about it. I'm doing fine, thank you. I'm still waiting for my first AF so I'm in the waiting game, anxious to get started on cycle 2 (or maybe 'au natch' in between???) Hopefully Sept for me!
