Congrats to all who received a BFP recently. My prayers are with those of you who are stiming and in you 2WW.

Okay Ladies,

I had my second beta and thyriod levels checked today. My first beta was 282 on Friday and 1157 today. The nurse told me that this was considered normal progression. Any additional thoughts from you all?

AIMS

Yes for the most part I have been bloated, constipated, gassy and my breasts of course have been very tender. Other than a few cramps here and there that's about it. It was weird because I had no implantation bleeding or anything that people have described. I was very surprised when the nurse ...

CT Michelle,

I did my ER on 3/12 and transfer on 3/17. So I believe that I am on day 15? I transferred two blastocysts, so I am wondering if the count is any indication of both implanting.

Hello Ladies,

Thanks to all of you for your support and kind wishes. I had my ET yesterday and it went fine. It was less painful than the uterine sounding test that I had.. Maybe it was because I had a full bladder and was concentrating on that! I got to see my little embies on the video screen ...

Hello Ladies,

This is my first IVF cycle. I had my ER on 3/12 and am having my ET on 3/17 (St. Patty's Day!). 14 eggs retrieved, 11 injected, 9 fertilized. My embies are now on day 3. I have 1 9-cell, 4 8-cell and 2 7-cell. I didn't have a chance to talk to the nurse, is this good?

Hello Ladies,

I had my day 5 BW and US today. There were only 3 good sized follicles so far. My day 8 BW and US is scheduled for Saturday. At least the migraines have subsided. My ER is scheduled for 3/11 and ET on the 3/16. Any wise advice for a first timer?
