Angram- Great second beta!! Any due date or u/s date?

Dakota
- Wow, that is a HUGE number. Congrats!! Can't wait to hear the results of your u/s. How many embies did you have put back in?

Thanks guys for the pep talk. I am doing good. Just trying to get myself ready for bad news. I am more worried how my son will take it. He gave my belly 20 kisses or so when I dropped him off at daycare. :) I have noticed that I cramp when I am walking around for a little bit. It then subsides when I sit or lay down. That sounds good maybe.

Dakota - Holy crap, that is a huge 3rd beta!! I'm really thinking you're having twins :) And you have a due date and u/s, that is so exciting!! :):)

turtles - I think my u/s will be on 7/16, but no official due date as of yet. I think it's March 7th, per the IVF calendar :) Your son sounds incredibly sweet, I have such a perfect image in my head of him kissing your belly. Cramping is always a good thing, keep the PMA!

AdsGirl - I never had spotting. Some women do and some don't, so don't worry.

Kimmy - It's good to know you'll be back in the game soon.

Angram - Great beta numbers!

Dakota - You may be having more than twins!

Wow, I can't believe it's Jul already. I know we have some ladies who are suppose to be starting over soon. I look forward to keeping up with you all.

Wow! Dakota and Ang great numbers! I'm so happy you both!

As for me, just waiting for my u/s next week. I'm still not really feeling pregnant, so I hope that once I see my little one I can be more excited.

turtles- My nurse told me that cramping is a good sign. I know that when I am up and doing too much I start cramping, but once I sit down and unbutton my pants it goes away. I asked the nurse about it and something about pressure and so forth. One full day left!!! What time do you go in on Wed? I hope you get your results back before I leave for vaca!! I dont know what I am going to do when I am gone there are so many beta's in the next few days...aaahhhh!!!

Neffi- How are you feeling? Any m/s yet? What day is your u/s next week?

Angram- when I figured my DD on some of the website IVF calculator it came up with Feb 28th, but the nurse told me March 1st. Its only 1 day, but I wonder where is difference is coming from?

I've got so much packing to do and I am so tired, I guess DH will have to do everything :wink:

As of right now I dont have a way to check in on ya'll, but I may talk DH into taking along the laptop, we have one of those "cards" and maybe I can find a chick filet or star bucks to check in on ya'll.

DH is scared about my #'s, not about having more than one, but somewhere he read that high hcg could be a chromosome problem, like downs. i told him I think that is for abnormally large hcg #'s and mine is really not abnormally high. Gosh, I pray that all is well!!!

Angram and Dakota - AWESOME NEWS!!! I love getting on the board and seeing those fantastic posts!! Congrats to both of you on some great numbers! Dakota, where are you going on vaca? Sorry if you already said and I missed it!

Turtles - Keep your spirits up, girl...it is not over yet!!! I think you have a great attitude about "just in case it's not a BFP" but I just believe it will be! I am really praying for you and your DH...REALLY hoping for that BFP for you! Don't stress about the HPTs (easier said than done, I know).

Neffi - When is your u/s next week? It will probably all become very real very quickly after that!!!! Have you and your DH shared your great news yet?

As for me, I am looking forward to my parents coming to town Thursday...hoping it will help the long weekend go by without a lot of stressing about my beta! I decided I'm not going to POAS until the day before or the day of our beta...I want to POAS now, but I'm just not going to do it...DH and I agreed. I don't have any at home, so I can't cheat! Will wait til right before we take it to buy them!

Angram and ImBlessed - Thanks for the reassurance about the lack of spotting. Good to know there are some BFPs out there that did not have spotting. I had a some strong cramping on Sunday, but not much since then. I've been feeling a little crummy today with a bit of a sore throat and just an icky feeling in my abdomen...not really cramping...just blah. Otherwise, just looking forward to getting off of bedrest tomorrow!!

ImBlessed - How are you feeling, girl? Have you shared your news yet with the outside world? Are you still on cloud nine? Thinking of you and hoping all is well.

HI guys. Quick update went for BW on monday, beta is 3. Af came so fierce this time. Started new meds today. I have to go to july/august buddies :cry:. Has anybody used high doses of gonal f. and menopur?
Going to try to update to my profile. Thanks for all the warm wishes and prayers.

Congrats on your numbers Dakota, that's great!!!!! I do believe you have more than one cozying up in there!

Angram, that is fantastic too!!!!! You must be so happy.

Adsgirl, I know I'm two days behind you having a 3 day transfer, but I'm feeling somewhat normal too - no spotting, my boobs aren't that sore, not much going on at all

:( I hope that doesn't mean anything bad, although i know it's still early days. Started my estrogen patches today, and also went back to work - I feel better for going out and about, and the time goes faster that's for sure!

Turtles, how old is your son? That's so sweet of him. Stay positive - not long now.

Babygurl - I was a poor responder, only 2 eggs last time, and so this time I was taking 150 GF and 150 menopur in the morning and then 300 GF in the night - then used ganirelix for 3 days. Ended up with 7 eggs this time, although only 4 mature, but still got double to the time before! Felt fine with all the stim meds as well. Take care, and let us know how you go - prayers for you :)

I went from 450 gonal f and 150 luveris, plus ganerelix to 300 gonal 2x day and menopur 150. Plus estrace for 8 days again. Thats pretty high, I think. I only got 4 eggs last time, 2 fertilized and were grade 1 8 cell on transfer day. Let's see what happens now. I guess he has to be aggressive with this old lady. Lol

Good luck, I'd like to know what they put you on, and how it works for you. Sounds like we're in the same boat - but that's okay, it only does take one - and it sounds like your egg quality was great. Next time x :)

Jude - Try not to read into any of the symptoms, I've found that they are not reliable at all!! I had cramping and sore boobs, but almost positive it's due to the progesterone. Good luck with your upcoming beta!!

babygurlsolages - I'm so very sorry this time did not work for you and good luck in your next round.

Adsgirl - If you have company coming in, that should definitely help time fly by. I was just sitting around the house counting the damn minutes :)

Dakota - I haven't heard anything about too high a beta and I'm sure your nurse would have sounded worried when they gave you your numbers, if it was a problem. Have a fantastic vacation!!

Neffi - I can't wait to hear about your u/s, how exciting to finally see your little bean :)
