Hello everyone! sorry I've been MIA!!!!! i have a lot of stuff going on so i'm trying to tend to that. Anyway, I have a question for all of you have BFP, what day did you all do the transfer and what was the underlyning cause of you not becoming preggo the natural way. Thanks.

Hi Ladies! I am thrilled to be writing this! My first beta 5/16 was 99 and today on 5/23 it was 2262 :D . I was shaking when I got the call. I will have my first u/s 5/29 just to check that all is progressing well--they said they likely will not hear or see a heart beat.

SD trying-Isn't today your "true" beta? I'm sure it is an amazing #!

wantamiraclebaby-I did a 5dt and have mild endo(RE doesn't think this was causing a prob). DH has motility and quantity issues.

Hope everyone else is doing well and will be enjoying the long, holiday weekend.

DrJen: How amazing is that!!! What an incredible beta, I'm so happy for you !! Don't shake too much while treating your patients :wink: ...I'm sure it's not easy to concentrate on work after such fantastic news.

I can't wait to hear SD's beta, I just feel it's going to be a great one !

I've got lots to do so I'll catch up on everybody else a little later. Hope everybody is doing fine.

Hi Everyone,
Seems like a ton of good news!!! Congrats everyone!
Here's more: My RE just called to schedule my 5d transfer tomorrow...we have 13 embryos still alive and kicking :shock:
We are transferring 2, and will freeze the rest...I'm shocked! Last time we had 6 left at day 4, which I thought was alot.

So, the dreaded 2ww starts tomorrow, and I am going to try VERY VERY hard to wait 1 week to crack open the dreaded HPT. Really...I mean it.

I think I might start a 2ww therapy thread....for confessions only....

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend,
Ericka

As for me, they moved my u/s up a day, so tomorrow is the big day! I am 7 weeks today, so hopefully they will be able to see a heartbeat!
