Neffi Yeah! Sorry I doubted you. I missed that your first beta was so early so that was good for that date. My clinic expects over 100 or they consider it bad news. But they made me wait 13dp5dt too.
Congratulations!!!

Shelby- I hope you are feeling well with twins growing inside you and all! wooo whoo! Congrats. Thanks for the encouragement. I just returned from my pharmacy where I get my fert meds and the pharmacist is awesome. It's a small place. He and his wife have 2 IVF babies from different cycles. He aske me how I was doing with my cycle and stuff and I told him I'm in the 2ww (since he knows the drill). I then told him I feel crampy like my period is about to start and I'm not feeling hopeful. He walked up closer to me to be more descreet and said, don'[t be discouraged. Cramps can be great news....that could mean the embryos are settling in...as the uterus is very sensitive it causes your lning to contract...thus the cramps. So now I'm confused. I caved and did a POAS and it was negative. I'm 6dp5dt. I know the game isn't over yet, but I'm feeling doubtful. But the bright side is that come Thursday if it really is negative, then I can atleast have a nice glass of wine, some chocolate, take a nice long bath and then go for a nice long run the next day before starting all over again! Ha! So tomorrow I will POAS in the AM...which might be a bit more likely to be accurate if it really is negative. Beta is Thursday AM.

Neffi- That's a great number - congratulations!
Not good news for me. I couldn't actually get the beta done today bc when I went to the lab, they didn't have the faxed order. But I did an HPT this morning and it was negative. So, that's pretty conclusive. I have to get the beta tomorrow, and then I suppose I'll have a conversation in the next couple days with the RE about what's next.

Hi ladies. I need a pick me up! I'm in a horrible mood. Did POAS this AM and still negative. To top it off I went to get the mail this AM and there is a bill from a lab for bloodwork? My insurance covers bloodwork and most of it is done in-house by the RE. So anywho I call the billing idiot woman and literally...NO HELPFUL AT ALL. I let her have it. She's been completely unhelpful and clueless every time I call her. From the beginning...no help with info about Shared Risks...sent us the wrong bill for estimated charges before fresh cycle started...and countless insurance billing issues. I hate RMA!

karenthescorpio - I'm sorry - that's so frustrating! And don't put too much faith in the evil sticks! We're still looking forward to your BFP!
I talked to my RE this afternoon - next step for me is more blood work.

Hey guys! I know this thread has kinda died.....I hope all the preggo mamas are enjoying their pregnancies. I had my third beta today and it was 1079! YAY! Im thinking twins.....but who knows? I would feel better carrying just one baby becasue my son was 4 weeks early, but I guess we'll see what happens. If it is twins, at least I can be done with IVF and enjoy my family. I wont have an u/s until probably Dec 4th.....ugh...the wait will kill me! 2 more weeks. And thats only if I can get them to do it! My RE likes u/s in the 7th week. That would be 6w5d, so we'll see. Hope you are all doing well. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'll post again when I get the u/s results!

Hi everyone!! Been crazy busy to even pop on for a minute! I had my FET on Sunday so I am now officially PUPO!! We used a donor and had one fresh cycle with 2 embies and that was a BFN!! This time we thawed 5 embies with only 2 good enough to implant and none left to refreeze!! So this may be it for us!! It's gonna be a long 2ww wait!! UGH!
Shout-Out to Shelby...Hope you and your family have a very nice holiday!!
