Congratulations!!!!

2 week wait anxiety!
RMSM, I am so sorry...there are pioneers and troopers on this board who, like you, have been through this before and eventually end up with a positive test...in the interim re: your next IVF journey, take the time to do something for yourself.
Get a personal trainer to work off the stress/ take a long weekend alone or with your husband or a sister or best friend...or just sit in a heap and cry or read a book...I am very sorry ...
We went to CCRM, Dr. Schoolcraft, in Colorado. He's # 1 in the country...our doctor here only gave us a 20%, if that, chance (male infertility, my age)...Schoolcraft? With donor egg, it was at 76%. He's THE MAN! This was our first try at IVF and I'm pregnant (for now!) with potentially twins.
It is expensive. Worth every penny.
Check him out...he's great!

I am not going to go too cukoo until my Post Labor Day ultrasound (6 weeks)...well, 6 LMP...I hate how the weeks are Called...kind of fake...
Vlada, I will be keeping my thoughts positive for you (no pun intended, then again...can't hurt!)...really great on the HPTS FOR YOU!
Feeling OK...got a bit queasy today but I do think it's too early for that (I am hoping to be a rarity and not get morning sickness...HA! Good luck on that one)
Heidi, congratulations! Good for you...
OK, am I missing someone here? I thought there was another BFP...forgive me...I'm so behind on work

Hi Girls...
Good to here from you Vlada and Heidi74 - thanks... I hope all is going will with all of you and your babies/new cycles.
Well, I POAS again this morning and the BFP line was darker but I have been having AF cramps almost all day and just now (4:30 my time) I wiped and there was pink. I am so scared that it could be my pregnancy vanishing!!! The doctors haven't checked my bw numbers (estr and prog) since Thursday (today is Tuesday) so I quick gave myself the 1cc of PIO in case. I DID have pink bleeding at this EXACT same time (day past LMP) with my son 14 years ago BUT I wasn't on hormones then though I did wind up needing prog supp through week 15 due to LP defect. What do you girls think? Am I losing it? the baby?
Thanks - Cocoa

Thanks Vlada... I did call the RE and her IMMEDIATE (and I mean immediate) response was "that's normal" like why am I calling her 45 minutes after hours on her pager??!!??? I still have cramping and low back pain but I did read that the low back pain is very common very early in preg with the extra hormones loosening the discs (yeah... even THIS early). OK, so great! since I have 2 buldging discs and it makes it worse. My cervix feels pinchy too. Anyone been THERE with THAT?!? OK, so I'm being weirded out but I have my "official" BETA tomorrow and I'm sckitzin! RE said to take it easy tonight SO I am and have been on the couch for HOURS already...
OH, and personally I think Woodcliff is looking at multiples too...

Cocoa,
I know what you mean with doctors, we are paying them fortune but God forbid to call them after hours. I too had a horrible lower back pain right after the trasfer for 4 days , then it got a little better and then got much worse, it is much better now, but man, it did hurt like crazy.
I hope you will feel better!!!!

Cocoa...so happy you called the nurse, what a relief for you...my nurse told me spotting or bleeding is just what happens with some women...
And, hey, like Vlada said, you're paying a bundle.
I do NOT hesitate to call morning or night to my nurse...in fact, I communicate with her daily either via phone or email...and have since we started. Hell, I got so many mixed messages initially that I will ONLY deal with the top nurse. It's been great, and I just LOVE her! It has paid off, as there have been no missed cues re: the medication. (If I screw up, it's my own darn fault, she has been clear as a bell.)
Ohmigod...what is a normal HCG? Er, for a singleton?
I felt seasick today...egads. Bought ginger.
OK, Vlada, only 48 more hours, if that...With you, lady! YOU may end up with multiples as well ...
g'night everyone, hang in there!

Re: 2 week wait anxiety!
Yes I agree... i go for my blood test tommorrow. However Im going to do the HPT tonight as I cant stand waiting for the phone call to give me the news... At least i will have some indication. i think it is a no as I dont have any symptoms and I know after doing 11 transfers that its not right.
RMSM wrote:Hi everyone! I'm new to this wonderful website and hope to join in the support network here. I am currently in the midst of that long 2 week wait after doing my second IVF. With a long history of endo., I was never a candidate for IUI because of tube blockage and 2 prior surgeries that left a ton of scar tissue (so I've been told) and jumped right in to IVF about a year and a half ago. This time around, they removed 11 eggs, of which 8 fertilized. They implanted 5 embyros 5 days ago, 2 of which were 8 celled and looked very good. I'm 34, DH is 35. Trying to stay positive, but going through peaks of hope and peaks of doubt regularly. I would love some kind of reassuring sign that it worked, but so far just some minor cramping since the day of transfer. I don't know how to lay low and not stress my body out, but not think about this at the same time. So I'm hoping this board can keep me positive because I need that desperately right now. These are the longest 2 weeks of my life!!!
Woodcliff,
I think with singleton you should have been around 500 range, so twins are more than likely for you, lady!!!!!
I POAS today again on the digital, God, i did make those companies a lot of money, and it said pregnant after just 10 or 15 seconds, that was my last test, tomorrow is my blood work and i will find out, i guess, early afternoon, scaryyyyyyy!!!!!
Lewi,
11 trasfers wow, that is a lot!! so you had 11 IVFs or you counted your IUIs as well?
Good luck with you test !!!!!
