IVF until we all get our bfp! 2012-present *13 w/twins & 1 w/triplets!*

[drsquid]

bubu- i felt like someone suddenly drugged me 2 days after transfer. only symptom i got

lindsay- my sister might do that but im not holding my breath,. getting cute vinyl stickers. mom got me glow in the dark monsters and im pondering a big anime octopus (but it is way overpriced)

mo- sorry that sucks

bomo= yay for 11 lucky number

jchic- just dont change the litter =) i do my own but they are strictly indoor and have been their whole lives. so either they had it and im immune or they dont have it and im good.

want- i skipped mine because i knew i was doing amnio regardless. consider doing maternit21 cause that will give you more of a yes or no rather than a high or low risk

jenn- mine scans everytime. she knows i scan too but... she does it anyway =)

hiccups- im sorry

 

[GettingBroody]

Stinas - yay for af! Good luck with your apt tomor!

Two - great beta

MissA - good luck at your scan today!

Hi Ladies,
I finally got a call back from the nurse and beta is 2705 at 21dpo, all is looking great. I know I am going to be a basket case with this pregnancy. I have my first appointment with the hospital on the 16th I hope that he scans me the same day

Congratulations - that sounds like a fabulous figure for 21 dpo (since I have no clue about the beta levels, I am not going to make any guesses ) - good luck for your appointment

Thanks ladies! I cant wait to get started! I will probably be a nervous wreck wondering if it will survive the thaw, but it is what it is as I always say!

TwoRdue - Great number!!!

Stinas - excited with you! When is the thaw?

bubu- i felt like someone suddenly drugged me 2 days after transfer. only symptom i got

Thanks Dr! ... I just don't want to get my hopes up and do any SS (especially so early on). It was just the bizarrest feeling - I was fine and then suddenly so exhausted that I couldn't concentrate - doing the same thing twice (for quarter close) and after the initial "bam" it came and went - between feeling like I could fall off the chair exhaustion and feeling more or less OK. I did stop working at 5:30 pm, because I felt I couldn't concentrate any longer and wasn't being productive (had started at 8 ... and it was a national holiday here anyway... and I needed input from someone else before I could carry on .. and I was just soooo tired)... In the evening I started getting a slightly sore throat and went to bed relatively early (compared to what I usually do anyway - not considered early by most)... I slept really deeply and woke up feeling drugged! I am more or less OK now - just feeling very tired .. and have sneezed a few times. Perhaps it's just a cold coming on
Oh and last night, my boobs started feeling achey at the sides, but I think that is just normal from Progesterone (have had it several times in natural, non-treatment cycles) - still aching this morning and feeling swollen. But again, I put that down to the medication and the second half of my cycle.
And finally - it is starting to feel like something is going on down there and my mind occasionally thinks "yes, it has finally worked" and then you get the angel on the other shoulder saying "ignore it, you don't want to think about it" ... and then concentrating on something else.
I swear this whole process is enough to make anyone move into two-personality mode

I couldn't agree more!! Half of you is saying "Stay positive, this has definitely worked" and the other half is saying "Don't get your hopes up..." No wonder we're all gone a bit half mad! In the long run I think positivity is the better option though! IT WILL HAPPEN!!!!!!!!

 

[drsquid]

bubu- fingers crossed for you. that is EXACTLY what happened to me. sitting in court suddenly couldnt follow what was going on. totally exhausted etc. got better after that day. i totally hope this is finally it for you

Great to hear your bean(s) is/are okay. Can't wait to hear about your scan. Hard to guess if it's one or two the beta ranges are so large.

I'm just kidding - I just had to say I don't really know if the numbers mean that much - you will just have to wait and see I'm feeling good. I feel more tired than usual - not sure if that is a symptom of pregnancy or of worrying...lol I'm going in for my scan tomorrow so just hoping everything is where it is supposed to be. I don't think I am getting anymore bloddwork though - just the two times I guess? So, at your scan on the 16th will they be able to hear the heartbeat?? That will be so exciting and worth the wait for sure Do they know why it happened the last time?

Good a luck with your scan today!

Thanks ladies! I cant wait to get started! I will probably be a nervous wreck wondering if it will survive the thaw, but it is what it is as I always say!

TwoRdue - Great number!!!

It will and you will be PUPO in no time.

We are all pulling for you! I was really tired early after transfer too. Could have been the whole IVF process catching up or the change of meds, but it is a good sign. Not much longer and you will know. Three more days right?!

 

[Jenn76]

It's kind of funny thinking of how far apart we all are geographically. Drsquid is up late posting almost 3am there, for me it is 7 am and broody and Bubu it most be late morning or afternoon where you guys are.

 

[bubumaci]

Yup - I think it's pretty cool actually, to be so far apart and yet so linked here.
FYI my post is at 12:15 here now

Oh - yes, Sunday morning is first blood test, so I get the results early afternoon. I still find it amazing that they expect to see the results so soon in the bloods!!

 

[almosthere]

bubu i have a really good feeling for you!! and please remind me how many dpo are they doing your beta?

afm awaiting 3rd beta results...

 

[jchic]

Baby a is measuring at 8 weeks 5 days and hb of 169bpm

jchic ... CONGRATULATIONS on twins. ... there were quite few on here who felt your Beta was high for a singleton
How exciting!! Shocking, but exciting! I am thrilled for you

 

[michelle01]

Jess - CONGRATS on your twins...OMG I am so happy for you

Angie - I am glad this cycle is going good for you! FX'ed that you get your BFP from this one

I know I haven't been keeping up much on this thread, but I have been reading and I am so happy for everyone that got their BFP! My last failed cycle was really hard for me; one failed, you pick up and move on, but after multiples you start to wonder if this will work for you!? I finally got AF this morning in full gear, so we are picking up the pieces again and starting #3 for a November retrieval/transfer. Hopefully for me, third times a charm!

 

[bubumaci]

Oh Michelle - I so hope so! Good on your for picking yourself up for another round in the ring! I so know how you feel

 

[almosthere]

Wow jchic so exciting yayyy! Congrats and bubu I get my results at work on voicemail usually at about 230 or 3 lol I also called to see if we can find out the sex early or not as I think we did chrom testing! So lots of exciting news to wait for. Then I also scheduled my 8 week prenatal apt for the 18th so happy!

 

[bubumaci]

Hi everyone....I have bad news ..not sure why....but I ended up having a miscarriage last night..broken hearted is not even the word. I knew something was wrong because I just didnt feel good.

Hopefully I will be able to start again. So happy for everyone that has their BFP's and is looking good...for the rest of us...we will keep our heads high and try again. I know some day I will be a mommy again. God has my back. Xoxoxoxo
