hi girls! 2 days ago I was switched from progesterone shots to the vaginal inserts. Today I noticed a small amount of dark brown spotting. Could this be caused by the inserts? I thought I had read something about that before. I am just so nervous because my last miscarriage started with dark brown ...

They are saying that it could be twins but there is no guarantee. There are women with high betas and a singleton and there are women with low betas and twins....so you just never know! I am nervous for my 3rd beta tomorrow...i'm praying that we both have a nice increase!!

My first beta was 16 days post retrieval. Today's beta increased nicely from 583 to 1283!! Today is 19 days post retrieval! I go again Thursday to recheck it again and then schedule ultrasound!!

hi Ghost and girls, now that I am pregnant my RE wants to switch me from PIO shots to the vaginal inserts until week 12. I am nervous that they are not as effective as the shots. Am I being irrational? Are the progesterone inserts just as effective as the shots? The crazy thing is that I am probably ...

congrats to the girls who have also gotten there BFP and good luck to the ones that are going next week! Overall I feel pretty good...the only symptoms are that I am a little more tired, I have some breast tenderness and I have a little mild cramp here and there. oh and I am more hungry than usual ...

Hi Ladies,
I am so excited to tell you that I got my BFP yesterday! I did not POAS so my results were a total suprise. Beta is 583. I have to go in Monday and Thurs of next week to recheck Beta. I am still in shock!!!

I went through the same thing...drink plenty of fluids especially Gatorade. I started urinating all that fluid out and most of my bloating is gone 5 days after my retrieval!

thanks ladies...fortunately I think it may have been a false alarm...I feel pretty good today!

I feel a cold coming on and my embryo transfer is in a couple of days. Will being sick adversely affect my transfer?? I am so frustrated because I have been not been sick in ages and it is just my luck to get a cold right before my transfer!!

Don't worry..there is no problem taking lupron with the other two meds you are taking.

how are you feeling today? If you are experiencing shortness of breath that can be very dangerous...you should go the emergency room when that happens!

Sweetie, I am sure you will be fine...a few years ago I was on Lupron for IVF not knowing I was pregnant from a previous Clomid cycle. RE told me not to worry it would not affect the pregnancy. Unfortunately there was a chromosomal abnormality (trisomy) which caused me to miscarry at 10 wks. This ...

from wikipedia: Ethyl oleate is the ester formed by the condensation of the fatty acid oleic acid and ethanol. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid. Ethyl oleate is produced by the body during ethanol intoxication.

Progesterone with ethyl oleate is what my RE gave me to use....he said its ...

Hi Ghost, I just had a failed IVF cycle and I am already under the care of a new RE that I have more confidence in....my RE didn't want to change anything for the next cycle. New RE (REACH in Charlotte) recommended ICSI to improve embryo quality (by selecting best sperm) and prevent more than 1 ...

Ghost and Ladies,
The news is not good. I am 11dp3dt and I had my Beta today. RE called with the news that my Beta is 5. He doesn't see this going anywhere and doesn't want to play with my emotions but he said he is obligated to have me continue PIO and recheck in 2 days. Ugggg! I just want to stop ...
