[Hopeful in SD]

Nickyb73 & MegFuzzy: I'm sorry to hear your news, so many of us have been there and know how difficult it is. Give yourselves a few days to be upset, but don't give up, it'll happen for you.

I just got back from my blood test and now have to wait for them to call with the results. I tested again this morning and got another yes+ so I'm staying " Hopeful"

tortilla, onemorebaby and rn2005: I can't wait to also hear your betas today. How great would that be if we all got good numbers?!

Hommy: I didn't even know they tested progesterone level? New information for me, but I'm sure once you start a higher dose you'll be fine.

jharris & dcdiva: These HPT companies are making way to much money off of us!!! Glad to hear your HPT's keep coming up positive though. Can't wait to hear your betas tomorrow.

Kim14: Good news, congrats!

antoak: I hope my beta is as good as yours

emfossom: Wow! Your embies are doing great.

Marynaz: I haven't seen you post recently, hope everything is going well with my fellow San Diegan.

I can't wait to hear the high beta numbers come in ...

[Marynaz]

Hello All,
I think 3 or 4 us waiting for beta today. I have you all in my prayer. Let us know your results.
Hopeful in SD, I am OK but as I am getting closer to Monday I start feel more down. I try to think positive but you know it is not easy. I am at work and try to be productive but I can't. Anyway let us know about your beta and lots of baby dust to you.
tortilla, onemorebaby and rn2005, good luck to all of you.

[Hopeful in SD]

My nurse just called and it is official, I'm pregnant!!! My beta was 116, which the nurse said is good because I did it one day early. I have to go back in on Monday and do my second test. I'll keep you updated.

Marynaz, I trully think you tested to early. Keep your chin up and try again Saturday.

I'm eagerly waiting for the rest of the beta numbers to come in.

[elisabethski73]

Yeah! Hopeful in SD! Huge Congrats to you!!! I'm so happy for you and hope that you are feeling great!

I'm so sorry that I have to race off to dinner without hearing from the rest of you! How's is everyone doing???

I followed in Kim's footsteps and tested again this am around 3:00am. Once again, it was positive, so I am feeling good about that and just hoping it sticks!!

Lots of love and babydust to everyone!!

Elisabeth

[Hopeful in SD]

Thanks Elizabeth and congrats to you ... I'm sure it will stick

[kim14]

yahhhhh hopeful - thats awesome - Relax and have a great weekend

Nicky and meg - I am so sorry to hear about your bfns - ive been there unfortunately and so hope that the 2nd time is the charm for me. Hope the weekend coming and the olympics will serve as a bit of a distraction. I think taking a few months off really helps. emotionally and physically. good luck!

[Marynaz]

hopeful in sd,
Your beta looks great. Congrat! and take care of your baby

[sweetmomi]

nick-were you taking progeterone?? My RE says you will not get your period while on it. I guess that's not true in all cases? Sorry to hear this.

Fuzz-I have been there a few times unfortunately Hope we see a positive soon! Please find comfort in the fact that so many of know how you feel.

Cannot wait to hear updates. Oh and I have not poas yet. I really do not want to now.

For the newly preggo girlies, did you feel any symptoms?

[kim14]

nicky - my last cycle i swore i got my period like 2 days before my beta - then got my bfn - needless to way that was not my period - I got it about a week later. Doc said its normal to have bleeding duirng pregnancy and also while on the pio

[Hopeful in SD]

sweetmomi: I've a little cramping, but the big one is my bbs ... they are bigger. A little tender, but bigger.

Thank you kim14 and Marynaz.

Meg, this is my second IVF and I just found out I'm pregnant, so yes keep your chin up. You never know, you may be fine. One of my good friends just told me she bled the 4th week of her last pregnancy and she thought she lost the baby. Well, the baby turned 4 today.

[tortillachip]

Congrats to you hopeful in SD!!!! Hooray!!!

Unfortunately I just got the call from my doctor saying it was a chemical pregnancy and the numbers have gone down. He said I should expect my period in a couple of days and to make an appointment to go back and see him to discuss when we will be doing this again. This blows! I had a good cry and now I have to call my parents and let them know. My hubby's coming home from work early to snuggle and love me. I'm so glad! Then I'm going to have a glass of Pinot and relax. I hope this works the second time around.

[MegFuzzy]

Thank you to everyone for being so suppotive. It's been a tough couple of days, but I'm starting to pull myself together and think about how exciting it will be to do it all over again

Contrats to all of you who got positives today, I'm so happy for everyone of you. I'll pray for all of you to have happy, healthy pregnancies.

tortillachip, I'm so sorry to hear about your results. Believe me, I understand. I'm glad you have such a wonderfully supportive husband to comfort you. Maybe we'll do our next cycle together and we will both have better luck.

[tortillachip]

Megfuzzy: I just had a long conversation with my doctor, who I adore. He was so supportive and undersatanding. He said that since I miscarried so early I wouldn't have to wait. I just need to wait to get my period and then I start the Lupron again 21 days into my cycle. I feel better knowing I'm moving towards the future already. The next few days will be hard but I know I will pull through. I hope God gives me a baby soon. Keep in touch and we'll start a new thread together for our ivf #2.

[Hopeful in SD]

Tortillachip: Your first cycle is exactly what happened to me. I had a 6 also and they told me the same thing ... since it happened early I could start my next cycle the following month and now I'm pregnant! I know the second cycle will work for you as well. I can't wait to hear how your next cycle progresses.

Megfuzzy: Glad to hear you are feeling better. There is a lot better rate of success with #2 and I just know it will work out for you and can't wait to hear how successful it is.

Well I just got finished POAS and it was a BFN . I guess it just wasnt ment for me this time. I am hoping to get back to talk to the re asap so I can start on a new cycle. I kinda knew this time like I did last time. I was starting out so well, I was off for the summer so I thought that would help the stress. But unfortunatly I was stressed out even more about some personal issues . Tomorrow is the offical beta but I have already prepared myself. I can't wait to hear all of those BFPs from the ladies today, good luck!!!
