Hi Everyone,

Aimee!! Whoo Hooo!! Congratulations. I am so happy for you! October ladies sure are kicking some IVF butt with all these BFPs. Lets pray that it continues that way for everyone.

Jeck - As of now I am not scheduled to test until 10/30. Even though I did a 5 day transfer they still wait for two weeks after that day so I am a little later than I thought. Belive it or not I might request to test on 10/31. I am off from work that day and I think it might be better to get the news at home even though I will have to wait an extra day. Or I might ask if they can do it on Sunday the 29th if they are open.

I had some blood work today and even though they said it looked "good" I have to up my PIO to 1.5 and start taking estrace pills. I'm afraid that is not a good sign. Is anyone else taking estrace?

All my best to everyone,
Nance

Congratulations Aimee!! So thrilled for you and your DH! I wish the a very healthy and happy pregnancy!!

Charity-thanks for sharing and for your words of encouragement. I am trying VERY hard to stay away from the HPT. I'm down to the wire-just have to get to Monday but I am on pins and needles waiting for AF to arrive. Yikes!! I appreciate your thoughts-I hope it is a good sign that I have had some cramping. It's not severe but it makes me wonder . . .

Hope everyone is well. What an exciting week of BFPs we've had! I hope next week is just as good!

Congrats Aimee!!

nance- I am on Estrace pills as well. Everyone at my clinic does them, so I don't think it is anything to worry about. Good luck!

I am having a horrible day. I feel AF coming. I am going in for bloods tomorrow and I know they will call to tell me my HCG level, which I fear to be 0. Trying to stay positive, but I don't think it was my turn this month. Good luck to everyone!

I totally understand about wanting to be off work for the test day! That is why I asked to test 1 day early on Monday, since I was already off work I thought what would 1 more day hurt and I can go back on Tuesday!

JenJ
Good Luck on monday!! Hope the weekend flies by for you!!!

Aimee!!!! Congrats!!!

This month is so awesome and is giving me lots of PMA!! I love seeing more BFP's than BFN's that's for sure! :)

Well I had to go home from work early today because I got so nautious and sick to my stomach. Didn't get sick or anything but I did have to run to the bathroom a few times. Felt weak and was only able to eat crackers all day long and nothing else. Once I got home I felt better...it just kinda came in waves today at work. I told my mom and she said it's because she has been praying for God to give me very early signs of pregnancy and He is just answering her prayers! Isn't that nice!? I said well we'll see I guess! :wink:

I think it's way too early but thought that was odd today - it's prolly just a stomach bug or something.
Well the weekend is going to fly by for me...tomorrow we have some events at work that will take up most of my day, then Saturday is my nephew's 3rd b-day party, that should be fun and then Sunday is church and football! So at least my countdown won't seem so long after the weekend! If I were doing a normal IVF and not this study IVF that I did, I would have tested Monday, but the study is making me wait til the 28th! AUGHHHH! :x

Good luck everyone who is testing before me this weekend and next week....keep up the faith! Remember it only takes 1 little miracle!

HUGS,

CONGRATULATIONS AIMEE!!!

This has been a great month for BFPs so far and yes, thank you Jeck for reminding all of us, next week is going to be an eventful week too!!!

I am going slightly mad. Luckily I have a wedding to go to tomorrow (no doubt dodging those 'why aren't you drinking?' questions, yippee) and then my parents have offered to come up next week to keep me entertained for a bit to get me through to Friday!!! Only a week to go! I have absolutely no symptoms at all. But one helluva sore butt from those progesterone jabs.

Good Morning Ladies,

Boy did I sleep good last night!!Image

Thanks Tasha, Jeck, Jill, Nance, JenJ, Jenn, Fulloffaith, BecP, and Racheal for your nice words!!

Jill and Lisa@bellasales, good luck tomorrow on the EC. I'll be thinking about you.

For all those testing next week, good luck!!!

Jenn, let us know how you are feeling. Hang in there girl!

Fulloffaith, it sounds like you are going to soon get that BFP. Hope you are feeling better soon!

I go back to the doctors on Monday for an u/s and another blood test. I'm really hoping my numbers go up over the weekend. These next few weeks make me real nervous. My doctor told me yesterday that he would be able to tell me how many probably a week from Monday. I thought that was too early but guess I'll find out when I see him this Monday.

I hope the next few weeks fly by for us all!!Image

Hey Ladies!

I got my levels and it is 608 today. From the 1st test to the 2nd my beta almost tripled and then from the 2nd to the 3rd it just doubled. I don't know if I should be worried or not????? I asked the nurse if it was unusal for it to triple then just double and she said not at all. That I had a nice level... I know the higher HCG gets the longer it takes to double... I hate this it is so frustrating!!! Anyway I have my 1st scan on Nov 3rd!! I am so ready for the next 2 weeks to fly by!

Hope all is well!!

Jeck I feel your pain waiting for that first scan, it is as long as the 2ww, for me it almost seems longer cause I cheated and POAS :-) But my doc told me that numbers frequently douple or triple and could do one the first time then the other the next so I think what happened to you is pretty normal. :-)

I must admit the suspense is killing me. I have been feel more and more nautious everyday which kinda makes me feel better. But I must admit I did another POAS this morning ($ store test) and it was very dark. The day before I got my 412 it was very faint. So that makes me feel better. :-)

I have checked about 50 times today waiting for thook! She has her scan today and I want to hear her good news!

Jstrandland - good luck with the ET, will be thinking of you.

Aimee and believebaby - congratulations on your wonderful BFP's, I bet you are so excited. Sit back, relax and enjoy the next 9 months.

Jenn and Jen J - try and keep calm, the cramping is probably a good sign for a BFP, am keeping you in my thoughts and praying your dreams come true.

Jeck - am sure your numbers are fine and this time next year you'll be getting ready for baby's 1st christmas!!!

Nance - wishing you a speedy 2ww and hope you are taking it easy.

Bec - hope you enjoy the wedding. I'm bridesmaid for my cousin in 2 weeks and can't wait. I love weddings.

Anyway hope you all have a fab weekend
Take care

HI GIRLS! MY HCG DID NOT DOUBLE TODAY. MY RE HAD HER NURSE CALL AND TELL ME THE BAD NEWS. THEY SAID THAT I SHOULD GO OFF MY MEDS AND TEST NEXT WEEK IF MY PERIOD DOES NOT COME. I AM SO CONFUSED! HOW COULD MY NUMBER TRIPPLE THEN ONLY GO UP 11 POINTS! AND WHY DID SHE NOT JUST WAIT THE FULL 2 WEEKS TO TEST ME. INSTEAD OF TELLING ME ITS POSITIVE, LOW BUT POSITIVE, THEN 2 DAYS LATER CALL AND SAY IT TRIPPLED WHICH ALL THEY WERE ASKING TO SEE WAS FOR IT TO DOUBLE. TODAY I AM 12 DAYS POST TRANSFER AND IT IS ONLY AT 40.5. I AM SO SAD! I DONT GET THIS. I THINK THAT THIS IS IT FOR ME AND DH. CANT TAKE THIS ANY MORE. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST! :cry: :cry: :cry:

I am so sorry ampmed1! I can't imagine how you must feel right now. :( I have been thinking about you all day wondering how you were doing and when you were doing more BW. :-(

Big Hugs to you and DH.
