Hi Hoping-

I got my beta results, 4011, which means they have been doubling approximately every 40 hours, I think. Yay! How did your third beta go? I'm so excited. I've been lurking on the April due date board, maybe I'll actually post. Hopefully, I'll see you there!

Congratulations,

Andrea

AndreaT -

I think it's probably a good sign that your RE didn't schedule another test. She must not be concerned about your first number. I have also read a lot of posts by people who got low betas and, like everyone says, as long as they double, it's fine. Although, I think it would be irritating ...

Hoping -

Oh my goodness! Twins? Congratulations! I'm so happy for you.

I'm totally nervous about Friday, I wish they would let me come in earlier. How many days between your first and second beta?

My due date would be April 3, based on the first day of my last menstrual period. It would be April ...

AndreaT -

Sorry for being so self-absorbed! Congratulations on your bfp!!!

Hi AndreaT -

Did you get your second beta yet? I haven't yet and I'm still worried, so I haven't joined any "expecting" groups yet. I'm afraid that I'll jinx it!

To anyone who is reading this thread to find beta numbers, see this message board:

Lightcommingon - I'm really sorry to hear that, but I agree with hoping, the fresh IVF cycle puts so much stress on your body. I believe that this FET will work for you. Don't be discouraged, there are a lot of women who got pregnant on FET cycles, as well as after a few attempts. I'm keeping my ...

Hey!

I just realized that all the symptoms (except the cramps) were not really symptoms at all. Really, the only thing that feels different is my very mild cramps. I've had them for about a week. Everything I read says that they're normal, but I still obsess! I, too, pee all the time (I drink a ...

Congratulations, Hoping!!! That's great!! I'm so happy for you! Do you feel any different? Isn't it almost surreal?

Lightcoming - I'm thinking of you!

Hoping - Your beta is tomorrow (Thursday), right? I'm so excited for you. Good luck!

Lightcoming - I remember you were going to be out of town today for your beta. I hope to hear good news!

Thanks girls. I guess I should just enjoy the bfp and not try so hard to question everything.

Hi everyone.

I searched through all the message boards, but I don't think I saw a thread like this. Can you please give me your beta numbers (with dpo)? I recently got a bfp (yay!). My first beta was on 11dp3dt, but I don't go back for another blood test until 21dp3dt, and I'm freaking that my ...

My first beta was 64 at 14 dpo. I can't go back until a week from this Friday, which would be 10 days. I went in earlier than I was supposed to, but had I gone when I was supposed to (this Friday), I also would have to wait 7 days.

Good luck to you.

Hey girls -

My beta was 64. The nurse said it's ok since it's relatively early and that I can stop the estrogen now (no more headaches!). I have to wait until a week from this Friday for my second blood test (geez a little mercy!). Anyway, I'm hopeful.

I've got everything crossed for you two. Good ...

Hi there -

Here is the article that convinced me http://www.ivf1.com/acupuncture-ivf/. I think it references the same studies that kbat listed above. This article basically goes through 4 studies done on acupuncture and IVF. The bottom line of these studies is that women who do acupuncture have an ...

Hey girls -

Hoping - That's probably the best approach. Even though I got a bfp, I'm still neurotic about the lightness/darkness of the test. This morning I was convinced it was getting lighter. I won't even tell you how many I've taken! ugh. You're right, no matter what, you're better off waiting ...
