Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to give you an update. I had my second scan last Friday at 8w1d, and saw both heartbeats again. They are both growing and right on track. The only thing that came up was that there seems to be a small blood clot in my uterus. It is outside one of the baby's sacs, on the ...

Sue e,

You'll be in our thoughts and prayers. Try to get some rest and hang in there.

Jess

Sue e,

Hang in there and stay as positive as you can. Keep focusing all your love on your baby. I know it's easier said than done, but just know you're doing everything you possibly can. Have a restful and peaceful weekend, and let us know how your blood work goes. I will keep you in my prayers ...

Sorry...forgot to ask my question in my post. Does anyone know whether the miscarriage percentages (dropping from 25% to 10% when the heartbeat is seen) also applies to twins?

Thanks!
Jessica

:D :D

Hi everyone! First, congratulations to Ange and KC. I am so happy for you both.

As for me, DH and I just returned from our clinic where we saw first one beautiful heartbeat, then... a second! We are in such shock...TWINS! Wow. We are of course thrilled, excited, and scared all at the same ...

Brandy...how did your 1st scan go? Can't wait to hear all about it!

For me, the closer I get to Monday, the harder I'm finding the wait. I wish it would hurry up and be here already!

Goodluck to all the scanners tomorrow! I think there are a number of you going in.

Jessica

Hi Everyone! I too am awaiting my first scan on October 10th. I got my BFP on Friday 9/23 with HCG at 164. I then had my follow-up blood work done on Tuesday 9/27 with HCG at 966. This was our 3rd IVF/ICSI attempt, and our first Antagonist protocol.

This thread is so great! It has been fun reading ...

Brandy, thanks for the reply. My RE also said 100 was a good number, so I feel very good about my level of 164 (at 12 days past ET).

How are you feeling now? Any symptoms? What are feelings about the possibility of twins?

I have started feeling waves of nausea...mild, but daily now. And I've been ...

Brandy....CONGRATULATIONS! There couldn't have been a better way to start our weekends off...I am so happy for you (and me!).

I was just wondering what day past ET you tested since your HCG level was so much higher than mine. I'm not worried about mine, since my RE said it was a strong number ...

Well Ladies...I just received my phone call from my clinic, and I am BFP!!!!! :D :D :D

I can hardly believe it, I'm still in shock. My level was at 164 (on day 12 after ET). I go back in on Tuesday morning for another blood test.

It was funny how DH and I reacted so differently. He started crying ...

Thanks everyone so much for your messages. They are so supportive and wonderful to read! I just had a wave myself of the 'I know it didn't work' feeling...but reading through your messages just gave me a nice boost of positive energy!

You're all so wonderful,
Jessica

Hi Everyone! Sorry I've been MIA for so long...work has been keeping me extremely busy these past 2 weeks, which actually worked out perfectly for me. I am hanging in there, and can't believe tomorrow is my test day. It sounds like many of you test at home, but here in the States (or at least my ...

Dora...CONGRATULATIONS! Such Wonderful News! I am so happy for you. It is also gives me such hope for my embies too. Enjoy your pregnancy!

Smita, I'd love to be added to the thread...how do I get on?

I'm feeling pretty good, I think the progesterone has been making me tired though, and my ovaries ...

Hi Dora, I was reading through the different threads and yours caught my eye. I too have had less than perfect quality embies. I am on my 3rd IVF/ICSI cycle, the first I had 2 4-cell embies grades 4 & 5 transferred which ended in a BFN. The 2nd cycle, I didn't get any fertilization out of my 7 eggs ...

Hi Ladies,

I am in the middle of my 2nd IVF / ICSI cycle, on day 5 of my stims. I am tentatively scheduled for EC and ET next week. I joined one of these threads during my first cycle (-ve), but then got a little disconnected due to being sooo busy at work over the past couple of months. I guess ...
