Re: Fall 2010 Cycle Group

Jennie, if you are less than 14 days past ovulation, which it sounds like you are, 32.5 is not a bad place to start! Congratulations, and I know you are going to be tortured for another 48 hours, but I think you are doing well! My beta was 32.4 at 14 DPO. I freaked for a week until it got above 1 ...

Re: Fall 2010 Cycle Group

Krys, I don't have any tricks per se, but I have the same problem. My lining never got above a 7 on trigger day for all of my failed IUI cycles. For IVF, I was switched from Follistim to Menopur and added 4mg oral Estrace to my protocol on day 6. I see you are on day 13 so I'm not sure how fast it ...

Re: Fall 2010 Cycle Group

Rio, I'm dying with anticipation for you over here!!! Praying you get to start beta hell!

Lauren, AMH was part of my IVF work-up. My FSH had always been relatively normal 5-6. Then I got a couple randomly high ones, and we realized it was because the silly nurse ordered the test while I was on ...

Re: Fall 2010 Cycle Group

Congratulations, Rio and Sonya! What a great day for you both! Rio, you damn lucky girl getting your early BFP on a Walgreens stick! I'm sooooo jealous! Sonya, what a relief for you! Now can you stop getting the betas?! :P

Tammy, I don't think you are at all starting a sympathy train on FB. It is ...

Re: Fall 2010 Cycle Group

Leorira, I am with you on the suppositories! DH is home 1/2 the time so then I get the injections; when he's gone, I do the Crinone. I don't like the injections at the time, but at least it doesn't eventually creep down my leg :? . I wonder if I'm losing too much of the medication when it does that ...

Re: Fall 2010 Cycle Group

Lauren, that is heartbreaking news. And to think you had to wait extra time to find out bad news to boot. What a major bummer to put it lightly. I really hope and pray your next cycle works for you. As for acupuncture, I started it during my suppression cycle. I started with once a week for a month ...

Re: Fall 2010 Cycle Group

Anna, you still have a couple days! If I remember correctly, I think Kaylie didn't get her BFP until the day before either. Here's hoping for a late implant! I was still peeing negative on a 20 mil test strip the day AFTER my beta was 32. Your blood gets the HCG way before the urine. Don't give up ...

Re: Fall 2010 Cycle Group

Sonya, I am due July 7th. When I had my initial low beta, my IVF nurse said she gave it about a 50/50 chance of a passing attempted implant vs. a late implantation. Thank God it was the latter. My RE said the image looked a little younger than a true 6 weeks, though. As long as things move along, I ...

Re: Fall 2010 Cycle Group

Hi All,

I came across your board a couple weeks ago, but I was in an extremely nervous place so I didn't write anything. A lot of you were in the same ER/ET (10/14; 10/19) timeframe as me so I was getting advice from (and calmed down by) your posts. So, yes, that makes me a huge lurker 8) . Anyways ...
