[annag]

HI all!

Got my 3rd beta today...1181 from 213 on 7/5. Now my U/S is sched. for the 27th....a lifetime away, it seems like. But I'm just so glad to be pregnant. Does anybody know how to calculated the due date from an FET? I don't even know how many weeks I am. Transfer was 6/22 with 3d old embies.

Wow, seems like there's gonna be a lot of twins in this board. Congrats everyone!

anna, i had my 5dt on june25 and my due date is march 3rd. i would say you are a day behind me?

tajma, take it easy and try not to worry. i'm sorry you had your scare. My doc asks everytime if i have had any spotting or cramping. apparently it is really common. ( makes me wonder if i should worry because i'm not LOL)

daly good to see you again. I was wondering if i was the only one so sleepy i can't stand it! i feel silly sleeping all the time. today i didnt hardly get off the couch. yesterday i felt fine... cleaned and did laundry. weird huh?

hows everyone else? anyone else sleepy and queasy?

Hi, i've worked out my due date is 9 March 2008! recently had a frozen embryo transfer - 20th June - found out BFP on 3 July! I am 5wks 2 days pregnant now. Got to wait 2 weeks before the ultrasound scan. Early days yet but here's hoping!

Anna,

Congrats on your increasing beta! Sounds like everything is going well for you. I looked at pregnancy calendars online and you can figure it on your last menstral cycle. Not sure if that works with frozen though.

My b/w is tomorrow and I have no real signs of pregnancy yet. The 2ww is almost over. I hope to be joining you girls soon. . .?

good morning ladies! well im back from my u/s and hubby is off to work so i thought i would come by and share my news, first and formost
annag congrats sounds like a good beta!!!

ok so we went in for our first u/s and it was kinda hard to see i was expecting it to be a lil bigger but he told me ok now before i show you anything just know all we are looking for today is a sac and if poss a yolk sac nothing else cause the yolk sac is what the baby develops from, so we started. and there it was my small little sac, he then stays on that spot for a lil while and he says you see that small grayish circle on the inside of the dark circle?....yes.....well thats a yolk sac so dh and i got to see not only our lil sac but the lil yolk sac too! and out of the 3 lil embies they tranrsfered, 1 stuck and made itself comfy....so im finally calm again, after seeing that i decided no more research and no more readin i just dont want the stress. as of today they are going to stop blood work for a lil while and just rely on the u/s i was also told that i wil be seen every wednesday until he releases me to my ob in 7 to 8 wks until he's comfortable with letting me go. he will be seeing me for an ultrasound which if i bring in a tape he will tape all u/s's from here on out for me, so on the days dh cant make it due to work he will be able to see it when he gets home!! so for now all is well and all is normal and i go back next wed for 6wk u/s. so just wanted to give you ladies and upate.. everybody have a great day!

Hi All:

Congrats to all of you!!!! I look forward to reading about your progress here.

It is so exciting to be able to post in this topic. It has been a long journey for me. I am 39 and my dh is 37. We have a beautiful son, Dylan, who was born in Oct. 05 and began trying again last Aug. with many disappointments. I think I have remembered them all in my signature, but I am not sure.

On my first attempt I had an ectopic, which seemed so strange to me after having had IVF, but I do hear it happens in 1-2% of patients. Just my luck --

Then I got preg. again and was released from my RE at 9 weeks. Apparently, 4 days later I had a MC, but because of the progesterone I didn't know until I went to my OB 2 weeks later and thought I was 11 weeks. I did have a car accident 17 days before the loss and I feel that is what caused it, but I will never know.

So, now we are preg. again after an FET.!!!! We put in 3 blasts. At the US we saw 1 sac. I am officially 6 weeks and 4 days preg. and am afraid to be excited thus far (so I am catiously optomistic). I am due on March 2, 2008. I felt comfort in going to the RE every 2 days, but after my US, they told me my insurance would now only allow 2 week visits. After what happened last time, I am obviously very anxious. I go for my next visit on 7/19.

I have had little to no symptoms and no MS this time or last.

Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, I am glad to meet you all and look forward to hearing about your growing tummies...

Hi Ladies!

Can I just tell everyone how thrilled I am to be posting here! Wonderful to be able to join with you all as we go through the journey of pregnancy.

I had my retrievel on 6/16 and 6dt on 6/22. We put in two blasts and one of them decided they wanted to stick around. Got a BFP on 7/2. Had my week 5 ultrasound today and everything looked fine so far.

My due date is March 7th - seems to be a lot of early March babies out there!!! Again, so happy to be joining up with all you other mommies. I am hoping the best for everyone!!!

Take care,

Crislyn

Hey ladies,

I had my U/S yesterday and we saw 1 sac with heartbeat. According to the size I am 6W1D today, so we just made it to see flickering heartbeat. I go in again in 2 weeks and than I see my midwife in 3 1/2 weeks.

Carebear110b,

Don't worry if you have not seen heartbeat yet. You can not see it until 6 weeks.

Everyone keep me posted on how you guys are doing.
Lots of luck.

Hi everyone,
My due date is March 11. I had my egg retrieval on June 16 and transfered two on June 19. My first beta was 616, second 1472 and third 6771. I go for my u/s this Monday. So excited. Not feeling any symptoms as of now. My meds are Progestrone shots, estrace and pre-natal. Hope all is weel with everyone and CONGRATS to all.

[dixiegal1]

first let me say congrats to all the new moms who have joined us!!!! debs jacklyn and lynned7 congrats on your recent bfp's!!!!!!
sher8 we look forward to seeing you as well and good luck on your pt.
crislyn, good to see you on here! that 2ww was heck wasn't it?

today i am 6w6d. i'm so sleepy right now. its 4:51 am central time and i have been up since 3:15. Does this keep happening to anyone else? I usually sleep late and sleep for a long time. I am not a morning person. Lately if i wake up after 2 am to go to the bathroom... i can't go back to sleep. in half an hour i have to get ready to go to the doc for the u/s . then i have lunch plans with old girlfriends from school that i havent seen in years.
right now i am not excited about any of it. I just want to sleep! ironically now that i'm about to have to get ready i can probably go BACK to bed and sleep LOL!
hope the rest of you are blissfully enjoying your dreams!!!!

Hello Everyone
My names Laurie and i got a BFP this week so thought i would come and join your thread
This was my 3rd attempt at ivf, im 35 dh 31, his sperms good, my tubes arnt!
Well im very excited as i had my first beta done on Mon 9th aug and it was 418, then i had it done again 48hrs later Wed 11th aug and it was 1345! which apparently is quite good.

My next appointment is at my 7 week heart beat scan, which seems forever away.
Im not having any real symptoms as yet, did have sore (.)(.)s for a little while that that bcomes and goes now! is that normal?
Im 4wks and 3days now and according to the ivf calander im due on march 16th.
Oh by the way i had 2 blastocyts put back in on 30th june.

Hope everyone is well.
Is there anyone here from England?

[CVM3]

Hi Dixiegal! Yep, it is great to be here! The two week wait was literally the hardest thing I have ever done. Anxiously awaiting my heartbeat scan is difficult as well, but I don’t think anything compares the 2ww.

Hi Laurie! Congrats on the BFP and welcome! I had the same issue as you – blocked tubes. Bummer eh? But, thank God for the miracle that is IVF. I have the same issue as you with my bbs, sometimes they are incredibly sore and sometimes not so much. I think this is normal. I am not from England, but my family and my husband are all from Scotland. My husband is from Glasgow and my family is from Jedburgh (which is in the Borders, so not too far away)

Sending millions of positive thoughts out to all you ladies!!

Hey ladies...I recognize a few names from other threads (Hey Anna!), and thought since I got my second beta back, that I might start to post...Cautiously...

As you can see from my signature, I've played the IVF game along with you, in the past, and we had zero fertilization on our first round. Our second got canceled because after I got my scripts filled, the coverage was nearly ran out. So here I was, all these drugs, a little bit of coverage left, and about a year of idle time on my hands. Dh and I decided to try an IUI, and what do you know! It worked. Got my first BFP call on Tuesday.
I have two more betas (Monday & Wednesday) and then if all checks out, my first ultrasound on the 26th of July. We had three good sized follies, so we're very interested in seeing how many beanies are there. I am guessing only one, but would be happy with 12. Oh...And my due date is March 20th...Bit later than most of you. I can't tell you how long I've waited to post here, and am happy to be here with you ladies...I'm hoping we'll all be here for a long time to come.

Here's to all of us...

[annag]

Charity, HI!!!!!!! I'm so glad to see you here. I can't believe I'm on the other side now too. Congrats on your BFP. I'm very happy for you! Have a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Congrats to all the new mom-to-be's too!!! March 2008 will def. be a busy baby month.

Dixiegal, in response to your question, I too have been waking up in the middle of the night 3-4 times and lay awake at 4am and then head to work at 6 and by, 2:00 pm , I could barely keep my eyes open. I try to take naps after work but I'm definitely beat. Boobs are sore off and on too but very mild soreness. Does anybody have mild cramping or shooting aches and pains in the uterus, belly button, waist, groins, once in a while? I do...I hope these are all normal.

Anna
