Really? It's high? I'm scavenging on the internet to try and learn more....

RunnerKate,
They seem high to me but beta numbers can be wacky. It's doubling every 48 hours or so that matters, less how low or high they start.

Here were my numbers:

12dayspast3-daytransfer: 91
16dayspast3dt: 576
18dayspast3dt: 1293

So I guess 14dayspast3dt: I would have been somewhere between 200-235.

Anyway, your numbers look great. Now get off this board, and go have a nice dinner out to celebrate! Me I'm headed out for pizza. Ever since I'm pregnant I'm not allergic to dairy anymore. Yipppppeee. Lostgirl

runnerkate--That's FABULOUS news!!!

I know I am obsessing about the cramps--just can't help it--your brain says one thing and your heart says something else--must be those stupid drugs

. Have to give myself the prog shot again tonight (and possibly tomorrow).

Just Jenis--heading out to a knitting class tonight so I will be talking and laughing w/ some wonderful women---and oh yeah, knitting. Doing 2 different projects currently.

Well I'll post tomorrow afternoon around 4 or 5 once I know the result...

Good luck to Justjenis!!!!

LostGirl...we shall see! Twins still freak me out, although it would be nice to get it over with. Also...I went on my first run yesterday. 6 VERY slow miles. My legs hurt today. Today, Hubby and I went for an easy 6 mile hike and were actually out wine-tasting when we learned of the good news. I had the tastings=~1glass and then I more small glass of wine. My last glass for a LONG LONG time.

Kbat, have fun knitting.

Seriously, ladies, I told my folks, sister, two closest girl friends, and then I had to run to the computer to tell you all! Thanks so much for your support throughout this process! (It ain't over yet.....)

Have any of you had to give yourselves the Progesterone shot in the but? My husband is going away all of next week and I need to do it by myself. I'm so afraid I'm going to hurt myself! I know I sound silly, right?
Any tips?

Heya Girls,

Yep, I POASed again this morning. Yep, another BFN. I'm 10dp3dt today......

I am just hoping and praying that there's still hope. I have read about quite a few gals who had BFN's up until their beta test day who carried on to have a BFP beta.

So, I'm trying to stay upbeat and positive, PMA is SO important!!!

Brandy, my IVF nurse told me NEVER to give intramuscular injections myself!! Isn't there someone else who can do it for you?

Good luck to all the ladies testing today - I'm waiting with baited breath to hear your results!!!

I haven't slept a wink!!! LOL Heading in now for bloodwork and hoping she calls me before her morning coffee. Not likely but let me have my pipedreams

*crosses fingers*

Can I join the 2ww thread?

I am Chris and have just had my first transfer. An FET as I didn't make it to ET during the IVF cycle because of my thin lining.

Anyways, we transferred 2 of our 5 frozen blasts. Both were hatching 5BC and 4AB. My lining was adequate at 7.5mm but not optimal.

ET 3/1
BETA 3/14

I am on estrogen patches and tablets along with progesterone suppositories.

I am tired but that's probably due to my DDs waking me early. I have slight cramping on and off but I never have AF cramps, ever. BBs are sore as all get out but I know that is from the progesterone. Nothing much more to speak of.

I am 5dp5dt...the wait is slowly starting to get to me!

kbat · Post by **kbat** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 11:41 am

I've given myself the shot 3 times so far. I look in a mirror and use the bruises as my guideline. I was so nervous, but it wasn't so bad. I like it better when dh gives it, but at least I know when it's coming. If a get a postive result, I will have to have it to myself again. tonight.

Heading out in about 5 minutes. I am really hoping for a bfp!!! I am nervous. They won't call until atleast 1 pm and they usually call around 3:30-4 pm.

Welcome ChrystyVOG. I am on the estrogen patches too.

Iccin - I caved - POAS this morning - such a blatant NEGATIVE I am sure "game over" for me...bloodtest tomorrow will confirm and I can move on...14dpo so I am 99% sure it's correct and am not going to pretend that the HPT are not reliable...oh well we'll see when we can try again w/ our frozen guys...good luck to you!

Hi JestJenis and Kbat...thinking of you ladies today! I hate that the clinics make you wait all day for the results until the afternoon. It's so nerve wracking as it is.

IrishHope...don't give up so soon. I'm telling you that these sticks can be wrong. I know people who got BFN's up until test day and then got a nice surprise. I really do believe that the blood test is the only accurate one. My best friend who is a doctor always reminds me of that. She said it's way too early and the tests can be thrown off by your meds.

Iccin...please keep up the PMA!

kbat & brs888...I find that if you circle the area where your shot is going to be, it makes it easier. Good luck with the PIO's tonight.

RunnerKate...hope the beta keeps doubling!

ChrystyVOG...best wishes for your 2ww. It's not easy but you have to find ways to keep yourself busy although it's always on your mind.

Good luck ladies!

P.S. I go in for my third beta tomorrow and as usual...still very nervous!

RunnerKate · Post by **RunnerKate** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 2:37 pm

Just got back from another 6 mile run. God, I have missed running SO much. I am taking it really slowly. Also, got on the scale for the first time in a LONG time...sadly, am 8-10 lbs over my ideal weight. Oh well, I guess I will lose it after the baby comes....

Casey: Hope it doubles!

IrishHope: It's still too early to test! 11DPTransfer is the MINIMUM for testing. (Ditto this Iccin)

kbat & brs888: Good luck w/ the shot....you are more woman than myself!

IrishHope · Post by **IrishHope** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 3:36 pm

Casey/RunnerKate - thanks for the words of encouragement...my biggest fear is/was that I'm going to hear "hmmm I really can't tell you why it didn't work"...my RE from the first meeting has been extremely positive for our outcome, my tests were all great, I stimmed great, even the embryologist told DH we had high quality 2 embies transferred and should expect results...I know it is better than having some terrible issue but my fear is I have implantation issues caused by the endometriosis which are sooo hard to diagnose...I dont have much hope for my beta tomorrow...

Kate - Congrats again...my sister had twins (4th and 5th babies)...thru IVF and they are a joy so if your beta means double trouble you will be fine!!!!

Good thing this morning I had my annual review w/ my boss from NYC...perfect mood for it

JJenis/Kbat - patiently waiting with you!!!! BFP wishes!!!

JustJenis · Post by **JustJenis** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 3:37 pm

I just can't contain myself. I was going to think of something witty to say.. But I'm just to damm excited!!
