Sameera,
I am crazy08 on the IVF connections board. I don't post very much but I am usually lurking while I am at work.

Hi Ladies, I just the call that I am pregnant! I am so thrilled. They said my level was 162. What does this mean exactly. Does anyone know if that sounds like a high number (multiples) or not? Just curious since they put in 3...Not that I care...I'll take any #, but the more the merrier!

Stephanie - Congratulations!!! so happy for you!!!

I dunno much about the numbers but as long as it accurately says you are preggo that's all it matters. What's more important is that those numbers double :)

Congrat's on your pregnancy!!!! How exciting! You may be able to tell more once you get your second beta...if it more than doubles in 48 - 72 hours.
How exciting!

It is a no go with IVF for me this month. I have a dominant follicle that took over that is unusable. Other then that I only have 2 or 3 other follicles that look good. My RE said that it didn't look good for a IVF cycle but looked really good for an IUI cycle so we are going to do an IUI on Monday. Kind of sucks but what can you do? I can still try IVF in the future if this IUI is another BFN. So the good news is that I will start my 2ww on Monday and don't have to do surgery. YEAH!!! :D I have done 3 other IUI's but that was with clomid. We will see how this one goes. We have unexplained infertility so you never know what might spark to make things work.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Good luck to everyone on their ET/ER and Betas.
