Labs a bad sign???

I had my progestrone level and estradiol levels drawn today and both were low. Est was 92 and she just said my proges. was ...

Pregnancy Test ??

I had a transfer on Thursday (2/15), I go in tomorrow for a progestrone test. I have an HCG on Monday. Technically how soon could you take a home pregnancy test and get a postive result if you're pregnant?

TIA for the help.
Kim

Hi! I know what you mean about the age difference. I was expecting three years apart. 6 (at least) seems like a lot, but my brothers and I are seven and 10 years apart. I am the youngest, so in a way I felt like an only child for part of my life. I am wondering since our kids have been "only ...

Thanks for all the well wishes. Rest ends tonight. I've been incredibly crampy, which I am not sure if its good or bad. I'm still planning on taking it easy through Monday as much as I can.

How long are/were you all asked to rest without doing anything but going to the bathroom and taking a short ...

Thanks so much for your help! I intend to ask about the 4th embryo. I am not sure whether they would freeze just one or not.

The IVF process is so difficult and the drugs certainly don't help. Just try and relax as best you can and focus on what you want to get from the process.Take it one step at a time. I've been working on one month at a time. I am also not putting my life on hold for the process. I am still making ...
