laglenik: Don't stop your meds yet! It is way too early.

Neffi211: I am excited for you that AF is starting to show!

I went for my beta this morning. They said they would call with the results between 1-4pm today. I am so nervous about the results even though I got a BFP on the HPT. I'm afraid the levels won't be high. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

Hi Ladies!

I agree with my 2ww bud, WashingtonDA...let's keep this thread alive!!!!! I told y'all that this is my little social club, so don't dare to leave me alone :roll: :?

laglenik sister, you might have tested too early. DO NOT STOP THE PROGESTERONE!!!!! wait until Sunday as your clinic said.

Neffi-- yeah AF :twisted: :twisted: I know it was bittersweet for me. I was happy to get it quickly so I could start thinking about my FET, but it was sad to think that this cycle didn't work. Oh well, March will be OUR month

Yesterday was DH's b-day. We had a good time...I'm so happy I have him. We have gone through so much trying to have a baby, and I honestly think that it has brought us closer to each other. How are your DHs handling this whole situation?

Sending lots of love to everyone.

Neffi- yeah, 10 weeks already...it feels like much longer. My clinic does a 10 wk and a 12 wk appt before they completely release me, so I will have one more appt after tomorrow before I have to say goodbye.

Lagenik- do not stop meds....wait until your clinic tells you to. I know it is hard to stay positive, but you have read all the success stories after bfn's on hpt's, so you have to keep the hope alive.

esperanza- I am with you....go pats!

laglenik: Don't stop your meds girl! It is really early.

Neffi211: I am so happy for you that AF is rearing her ugly head!!!

I went this morning to have my blood drawn for my beta. Even with a postive HPT I am still nervous that my beta level will come back low. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!

I'm not sure what is happening with these double post. I keep getting error messages everytime I try to send something and than the post appears two and three times. I am so sorry for this.

Andnichole -- Don't give up now girl. You have that "+" so don't start with a negative attitude. Be true to that baby and the baby will stay true to you. You should be praying for a high beta today, not second guessing.

The day of my beta I felt that I was gonna have a good number and my little bean came through. He/She has been pretty quite these last 4-5s. I've had to take another HPT last night to make sure they were still there.

I just got the call from the nurse. My beta at 18 days past retrieval (15dpt) was 1676. I am in total shock. I said "isn't that kind of high? What is the normal range?" She told me that they like to see anything over 100 and that my number just indicated that it was sticking well. I commented about it possibly being twins and she just chuckled but wouldn't comment. I go back for my 2nd beta this Friday morning.

Washingtonda: I know what you mean about the error messages. I keep getting them too. Even with the error message it does post, strange! It is so stressful waiting for test results! I asked about when I could schedule the u/s and the nurse told me after my 3rd beta that they would schedule my u/s appt. I am very happy about the beta number but with having a previous ectopic pregnancy (the reason I am doing IVF) I am afraid that something bad with happen and so I worry (sometimes about silly things) but I am always waiting for the ball to drop.

Andnicole -- That beta is AWESOME. My first at 17dpt was 506 and everyone that that was extremely high so you could be carrying more than one in there. I think you can relax with that beta.

Just enjoy the moment. I have learned to relax and I do feel that my little one is here to stay!!

CONGRATS on the EXCELLENT beta!!! :lol: :lol:
