Okay...we had our sono today and it was MAGICAL!!! We are having ONE healthy baby, and we got to see the heartbeat! I am on cloud 9. What a relief!!!

Hi All,

I just want to congratulate all the ladies who have had their ultrasounds! Mine is today and I am excited but nervous! I have been prayng, praying, praying...that we get excellent news. I'm 6 weeks 3 days to day, and the nurse said we should be able to see a heartbeat. Hoping the time ...

My RE said the actual Beta number doesn't matter as much as the rate at which the numbers double. I agree with the advice others have posted so far...every pregnancy is different (that's even true for women who have been pregnant before and then get pregnant again).

With that said, here are my ...

Laurie35,

I was just praying for you and the health of your baby and pregnancy. I know it's easy to say, but please, please try not to worry. Stress and worry is not good for you or the baby. The mucus could be attributed to the excess discharge that develops during pregnancy. If you had some old ...

Dixiegal,

Your response made me cry! Thank you for the support. It is true that friends and family who have not gone through IF don't really understand. I think they try but they can't. I am, so happy but I still feel like this pregnancy is surreal (in a good way of course). I just wake up every ...

Hi ladies,

Well....I had my 5th Beta this morning. So the results have been as follows:

6dp5dt ---47
8dp5dt ---154
10dp5dt---286
14dp5dt---1520
18dp5dt---5162

So I will be 6w2d on the 29th and they'll do my 1st ultrasound on Monday July 30th. I am so excited/nervous/giddy... I was holding my ...

Hi Everyone- I would like to join you all. I have had three betas:
13dpo- 103
15dpo- 207
19dpo- 1466
So, I am tentatively due March 19, 2008. I have been spotting off and on- mostly light- for a week, but my doctors, nurse, and phlebotomist aren't concerned. It comes and goes and is brown. I am ...

Laurie35:

Congrats to you! Thank yu for the web site info. It was very helpful!
Do you know yet whether you are having one or two???

Hi Ladies,

We just got our BFP last week! We are due March 24th. This was cycle number 4 for us and it was an FET with four 5 day blasts transferred. My first three Betas were 47, 150, ad 286. The RE is quite happy with the numbers. All I care about is that they are doubling like they are supposed ...

Kabillion--- I just had a question. Are your twins identical or fraternal? I'm just curious about the likelihood of my blasts splitting. We are putting 4 back.

WE are currently trying a nautral cycle FET. WE have 6 frosties and willput back 4.

Hi there,

We transferred two excellent quality blasts in March. They were even starting to hatch prior to transfer. als, BFN. We are now trying a natural cycle FET and will put back 4 of the 6 frosties we have left.

I am very sorry to hear about your BFN. I'llkeep you in my prayers.

I've been doing some research since my most recent BFN. Has anyone here been tested for uterine receptivity or lack of something called beta-3 integrins? Supposedly beta-3 integrins are needed to help the embryos "stick" and implant. i am considering asking for this test since we've had three failed ...
