I am at 11 weeks right now; and also deciding whether or not to do the nuchal test. I have it scheduled, but we are still deciding. It would be good to have peace of mind, but I dont know if we would do further testing if it came back positive. So we just dont know. I need to give it some more ...

At 10 weeks, i started bleeding a little and i went to the Doctor. They did a sonogram and everything was normal. They said it ...

I got my BFP a couple of weeks ago and had my first ultrasound Tuesday. It's TWINS. Seems there's a lot of twins here, so I had to post.
My next ultrasound is next Thurs.

Has anyone been switched from the Progesteron shots to the Progesterone vaginal gel? I was switched but haven't started yet ...

Cocoa,

We had 2 day 5's put back in - one grade A and one grade B. That first 496 number was 14dpt. I just had my 3rd one today, and that came back at 4476. I checked the doubling time on www.betabase and it is 52 hours. So i dont think it's twins, but I guess anything is possible. The U/S is next ...

Hi All!

It seems I'm a couple of weeks behind most of you. I got my BFP on 9/4 (496) and my second HCG was 1700 3 days later. I went in today for the third one.

I guess I will be at 5 weeks tomorrow. I admit I"m a little nervous about the M/S. I bought some ginger ale, but I want to go buy some of ...

Well, I went in this morning for my bloodwork. THey said they want to see a beta of 100 or more. Seems high. I did the evil hpt that detects 20hcg, and it was a faint line, so i'm not optimistic of getting 100.

Guess i have to wait and find out for the official word!

Kellym,

Sorry to hear about that. I wish you luck next time.

Judy/Nicole/Jill

I am also testing 9/4. I had a 5dt on 8/21. The waiting is hard. I'm not looking forward to the weekend. I've also had some cramping on and off/ some worse than others. How about you guys?

I guess I'm just trying to figure out where I'm at. I'm due to go in on 9/4 for a pregnancy test. So I was wondering if I'm "late" by that point or not. I did an EVIL HPT yesterday and today and the line was lighter today than yesterday. I know, I know.....stupid.....Just adds to the anxiety of the ...

When is AF due?

After doing IVF, when is AF actually due? Is it 14 days past ET? So confusing.

Jade,

Good luck with your new cycle. This is my second IVF. I did 2 IUI's and 1 IVF at another clinic here in Tampa. My experience there was not good, which is why we went to RMG. We have really liked how they take care of the whole process.

I took my HCG shot on the 15th, and tested the 28th, so ...

What is ...

I've seen on a lot of posts, that people did a hpt on 7dpt which would be tomorrow or Wed depending if you count the day of ET. I will be tempted but i think i will wait until Fri or Sat.

Kellym,

I have had cramping on and off since the transfer. One night it was really bad, but i haven't had that since. It's just every now and then i get a strong cramp for about 30 seconds or so and then it goes away. I have no clue what is going on.

I did IVF once before and got a really low hcg ...
