It worked, it worked, it finally worked!!! We are 9th time lucky!!!!!!!!

We got the wonderful call that I am pregnant and I can hardly type this because I've been crying and shaking since the call. My beta is 267 so they are quite happy. I've had two chemical pregnancies before and my betas were 30 and 68 so I am feeling so much more confident with the 267 number!!! Now the question is whether it is one, two or three little ones!!! Guess we'll find out in a few weeks!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!! We are over the moon.

Congratulations to everyone on their BFP's. I just wanted to place one last post on this thread.

Please don't count on any symptoms during 2ww. I had so many, feelings, pulling, cramps, sore breasts, everything and I am BFN. I'm sure some symptoms can be indicative of a BFP, but please don't count on it.

I wish you all well. I am going to be doing another attempt pretty soon. My RE wants me to start again right away, I'm sure due to my age. They are encouraged with how I responded last time. They are trying a different protocol to hopefully get more eggs.

You are all are wonderful woman and the support received here is invaluable. I will probably move to the FEB/March thread, since I will be trying again soon.

My love and prayer goes out to you all.

Thanks,

Kbear

I just wanted to post one more time on this thread.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE BFP'S!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you.

Please those in the 2ww, do not use symptoms as a judge as to whether you will get a BFP. I had every symptom you could think of that might indicate a BFP, but sadly I was BFN. I had sore breasts, nausea, cramps, pulling in the uterus area, fluttering and more. The drugs they have you on will mess with your mind if you let them, so just keep yourself occupied, don't read anything into the symptoms and wait for your BETA.

My RE wants me to start again right away, probably due to my age. They are going to try a more aggressive protocol to try to get more eggs. Hopefully I can make it to a day 5 transfer, and have a better chance. They said that I responded wonderfully for my age, and they have high hopes I can get a BFP in the future. It made me feel a little better.

I am going to join the FEB/March thread as that is when I will be trying again.

Thank you so much for all the kind thoughts and the support that you all provide. You are a great group of women. I wish you all the best.

CONGRATS AGAIN!!! I feel like I can hardly keep up with all of you! The list helps a lot.

Well I went in for my first scan (day 5) and I have about 8 follicles over 10mm and a total of about 15. When I was at the appointment the nurse told me that she thought that I would have the ER on Monday, so I called my DH right away to have him make work arrangements. Well...I called at 2:00 for my med instructions and E2 levels, and this nurse said that I was right on schedule for Wednesday. DH is ready to kill me! I feel bad, but what can I do?? They said that on Friday they would be able to tell me with 98% certainty when it would be. Oh and my E2 level is only 350. I have to go back and look at some of your posts to see what all of you had.

Hi Everyone,

Hope we are all well, is it me or are these posts going crazy?? seems everything is being posted multiple times. Anyway...

CONGRATS hopingfor on your BFP....hope you have a happy and healthy pg

RB- good luck on your ER today, hope you have lots of good healthy eggs fertilizing as we speak

LOOPIE- the protocol I was given for my FET cycle was from day 21 down regging with Buserelin, then on day 3 of next cycle start Oestradiol Valerate tablets building them up until day 15. On Day 15 scan to see if lining of womb is thick enough then carry on with tablets and Buserelin until day 18 when start with cyclogest pessaries until day 21 when ET takes place. After ET carry on with tablets and pessaries until bpf/af.

It sounds easy enough written down but the hospital I go to has had a referb and were delayed so instead of starting tablets on day 3 I started 2 weeks late so I am now very happy ET is round the corner!!!

RIO, please can you add me to the list again. I have ET on 12 Feb with test day on 29th Feb- yes my hospital leave you for 17 days then I do my own PT....A VERY LONG 2WW.

I had my scan this morning and lining is thick enough so it is definatly ET on the 12th as long as frosties thaw alright....fingers crossed

Thanks for the welcome back and good luck to everyone else

Hi Folks--I have been posting on the Feb/March cycle, but had a question for you ladies that have recently gone thru IVF/in process of doing it now.

Did your dr. decrease your Lupron done? (if you did Lupron pre-cycle) My dr. just cut my dose in 1/2 and I was wondering why. Trying to get in touch with the nurse, but am horribly impatient.
