Re: Summer Board 2011

Congrats Lauren!!! Now, sit back and relax. You will be looking at the BFP very soon!

Anton, I was surprised because I just didn't feel like it was twins I guess... I really would have bet on there just being one in there, but we are thrilled to have two! As for your dream... I'm stumped, but I ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Easley, My due date is the March 14th or 15th depending on who you ask, lol. Although, instead of full term being 40 weeks it is 36 because of the twins, so they will more than likely come around Valentines Day. :D

Thank you everyone for the support!!!

Re: Summer Board 2011

Hi ladies, thanks for the support and encouragement regarding the OHSS. RE said today after the exam that it is moderate and should last about another 2 weeks. NOT to drink fluids unless I need to because it will only create more fluid in the ovaries and then in my abdomen and to stop taking my ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Happy Wednesday ladies! Today was pretty miserable.... Everything baby-wise is good, but I did end up with OHSS (in-between mild and severe) and I am in a great deal of discomfort and outright pain. My poor belly was flat when I started this and now I look 4-5 months pregnant, no joke! I go in for ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Thought this might be helpful as a guideline to just how much HCG levels vary...

3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13 - 16 ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Wndrgrl, words cannot express how sorry I am for you and your loss. I know all too well the crushing feeling to have it and then lose it before it was really yours. Where there is a will there is a way. Give yourself time to heal and everything will work out. God works in mysterious ways.

Re: Summer Board 2011

I looked at my calendar and I was totally off! Today I am 14 days past my trigger (so it should easily be out of my system) and 7 days past the 2500 HCG booster, so that should be gone as well. I called my RE and he said all of the hcg SHOULD be out of my system and the tests are probably accurate ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Good afternoon ladies. I took another HPT this morning with FMU and the line came up faster and it was a little darker, so I have hope. Beta is tomorrow at 7AM and I will know by noon.

Good luck easley and akdelp, I am cheering for you tomorrow as well!

Anton, Hopefully Happy will come back today ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Thanks for the imput ladies, I appreciate it! Sunshine, today/yesterday when I tested, it was 2 days prior to my beta. I will test again when I wake up to see if there is any change or if the line gets darker. I don't know how much HCG was in the trigger and I just know that the day of ET they gave ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Hi ladies, I hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend!

Wndrgrl- you are in my prayers! I have had 2 chemical pregnancies and it definitely could be the case. However, miricles happen and maybe your little bean is just a slow starter. (((hugs)))

RMB- 4 babies, WOW!!!!!! Wishing you a happy ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

WOW, I wrote this whole thing out and then my computer decided to turn off :evil: . Anyway, sorry it took so long to post, I've been trying to relax. ET of 2 perfect blasts went wonderful yesterday, and the accupuncture was nice as well. We froze 2 more grade 1 embies and then 2 grade 2's as well (1 ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Hey ladies! So, I am leaving here in a little over an hour for my accupuncture and ET. I am SO nervous!!! :roll: RE called this morning and of the 11 that fertalized, there are 4 grade A perfect blasts, 2 that are just a bit behind the first 4, and 2 more that most likely will not make it... But ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Hi there ladies! I went to a baby shower today. It was a little painful, but I couldn't help but be excited for her as well.... Just difficult when it is the very thing you want so badly but not you celebrating it. :oops: I talked to my RE today for my 3 day embie report and decided to go with the ...

Re: Summer Board 2011

Thank you everyone for all of the kind worsa and encouragement, it helps a ton!

Sunshine.... I won't lie, I'd be POS every 5 minutes. I need to feel like I have some control over a situation and going in for a beta blind would be nerve wracking for me personally. Kinda like not knowing the gender ...
