Second beta come back at 2740 16dp5dt! Is this about right? First ultrasound is Thursday...

We transferred two - and silly as this sounds, I would be just fine with two. Have the first ultrasound on Thursday (10/12/06) and would love to finally make it past that milestone It is going to be a very long week - but I am so very hopeful!

Just got my second beta - went from 420 (10dpt) to 2,740 (16dpt) - does this seem about right? Every website gives me a little bit different info...what were your numbers on that day?

Just got my BFP last Friday - 10dp5dt HCG was at 420 - second blood test tomorrow!

Hi there - had my first blood test on 4w1d (HCG of 420) and my second blood test is schedule for tomorrow (5w0d). The only symptoms I have had thus far is nausea after eating (mostly after a big meal) and sore breasts. I have had a chemical pg and a blighted ovum in the last year and am looking for ...

Thank you both for your concern - I am still very hopeful that we will be successful. We will begin prep for a FET at the end of this week - we had 4 excellent frozen embies from IVF#3 - maybe the decrease stress on my body/ovaries will make the difference :)

I have been going to acupuncture once ...

Bad news...beta came back negative! Plan to see the doc next week and am really looking for some answers - need to know where we are going wrong

I am unable to work up the courage to do a HPT - I would drive myself even MORE insane regardless of the results.

Beta is tomorrow - so I will wait until they call :-)

The heartbeat is a very good sign - and your odds decrease daily :-)

As for the previous pregnancies -

#1 - U/S at 5w4d - they ...

Thank you so much for the response and congrats!

This is my fourth IVF cycle and I am just on pins and needles about everything. Sometimes I wish there was a window into my uterus so that I could just check each day to see what is going on :P Or else I would drive myself insane!

My best is Friday ...

Hello everyone,

I ran a low-grade fever yesterday (never more than 100.2 degrees) and wanted to reach out to see if anyone has experience anything similar. Should I be worried? Called my doctor and was perscribed Doxycyclene - just in case.... Temp is back to normal today.

Thanks!

Hi Racquel,

OHSS is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. Basically it is when the stimulation medications work too well and your follicles over stimulate. This website has a good definition at the following address: http://www.ivf-infertility.com/ivf/standard/complications/ovarian_stimulation/ohss ...

Hi again!

Yeah, I was sad to leave Dr. Le - he was a wonderful doctor! He just did not take my new insurance and I couldn't reconcile staying with him and paying out of pocket if I could go to a new doctor and be covered at 100%. As much as I loved him and his staff, it just didn't seem smart.

We ...

Hi Allison,

I was seeing Dr. Sy Q Le in Irving (for a fresh and frozen cycle), but my insurance carrier changed, so I was forced to change doctors. Now I am seeing Dr. Gerald S. Goldstein in Dallas (affiliated with Presby Hospital) - I have only been seeing him since January 2006, but he seems to ...

Hi! I have had two unsuccessful IVF cycles in 2005 (1 fresh cycle - BFB then m/c at 5 weeks, 1 frozen cycle - BFP then m/c at 7 weeks) and just recently cancelled a 3rd cycle due to Estrogen levels of 7,900 and fear of OHSS. Does anyone have advice on ways I can help to control my Estrogen level (ie ...

Hi! I am 11 dpt (blood test tomorrow) and I just don't feel pregnant like I felt on my first fresh cycle (failed at 6 weeks due to outrageous Estrogen levels). Is it mormal to feel this different? There is not a lot of documented Frozen Embie info out on the web and any advice would be greatly ...
