I just hope it sticks I just want to see that heartbeat!!!!! So the dr called me in a restaurant and I was so excited that I walked out the emergency exit on my cell - alarms going off - people staring - didnt even care - kept talking to the doc - then i was locked out and they had to let me back in - again alarms going off Have they never seen a woman get her beta!!!!!

[jharris12]

CONGRATS kim14!! Over 850 is amazing!! Your story made me laugh!! I am so happy for you!!

Laura: Congrats to you on your BFP!!! With a beta of 746, I dont think there is any reason for you to worry!! And no, its not awful to join now! The more the merrier!! Welcome aboard!! Oh, and my RE just switched me to suppositories once I got my BFP, so yes, that's normal!

sweetmomi: I am so sorry you are having to deal with all this stuff!! At least you only have 2 days left, although I am sure it will be 2 stressful days! Take it easy and get some rest.

elisabethski: I am so glad to know its not just me with EXTREME FATIGUE!! I have been so worn out lately. It is so hard to work and focus when all I want to do is go home and sleep! And thanks! I can't wait for my 3rd beta tomorrow!

We are still waiting for some more betas!! Can't wait for them to keep coming!!

I have the opposite problem - I wake up at 3:30 am every night and cant go back to sleep - then during the day im wiped. I used to sleep like a rock! i keep waiting for some defining moment - like exteme nauseau - having to pee all the time -but all i have is my cramps that i have had for weeks. All i know is i cant wait to get off these evil shots - 2 more days and then suppositories

Thanks Jharris

[Hopeful in SD]

Congrats Kim! Your story also made me laugh, I don't think anyone understands what these phone calls are like but us. By the way, I am having the same sleeping problem as you. I wake up around 4AM and can't go back to sleep.

My 2nd/3rd beta is in and it is at 731, up from 116. My second beta would have been on Saturday, so they skipped it and just had me come in today. The nurse said it is really strong and I don't need to go back in until my u/s on 8/26. They usually call me back between 1-2pm and they didn't call until 3:45PM, I was going crazy thinking something was wrong.

Welcome Laura and congrats!

Thought I would share my good news and I'm hoping to hear the same from ndgo82 and Marynaz.

[Marynaz]

Hello all,
I just got a phone call from the nurse and is BFN. I couldn't beleive it will be this painful. I can't stop crying since the phone call and DH trying to make me calm. I may take off a month and start again. Congrat to all of you new moms.

[hommy]

Nickyb73, onemorebaby, anj -- Im sorry. My heart cry with you because I understand how it feels. We have been hoping so much and sometimes we just don't know why its working. How we wish to know what's going on. My DH keep telling me that God's works is a wonder. When the time comes, the time comes. Whatever the result is, we are blessed nonetheless.

I really hope you will continue to try and don't give up hope. Our dreams will come true one day.

[Hopeful in SD]

Marynaz: I am sooo sorry. As for the crying, let it flow, you need to get it out. Typically the clinic will make you take a month off before starting the next cycle, but I'm glad to hear you are looking a head and not giving up. We are in the same boat, DH morphology. My heart goes out to you. If by chance you want to try a clinic closer to home let me know, I absolutely love my doctor and the nurses.

Take care of yourself and have a well deserved glass (or 2) of wine.

I've got to crash your thread!

Congrats Kim!!!! Woohoooo!!! And WOW on that beta! . I'm so very happy for you!
I can't wait to see how your US goes. Two more days of those evil PIO shots and then on to the suppositories. I didn't care about the mess, all I cared was that I was not in pain anymore!

Congrats to all the BFPs on this board and I hope we keep it going on the Aug/Sept thread!!!

Much love and hugs...

Valerie

[hommy]

Marynaz - Im sorry (hug) . Cry as much as you want....just let out your pain. I know its not easy. I have told my DH that when the test result is out I want the doctor to call him instead of me. I know Im selfish, but then I just don't know how to handle. From now just give yourself a break and take care of your health well before embarking another journey. Don't give up!!! Will always praying for you.

[hommy]

Congratulations for those BFPsss

Hopeful in SD, rn2005, jhharris12, dcdiva, elisabethski, kim14, lauraonlongisland - Congratulations gals!!! Its been great to know more good news coming out. Im so happy for you. My DH will think me crazy that one minute I cry and one minute I smile. But its really great to find more shine to this thread.

Sweetmommie - I hope you are feeling much better. I think the cramp is from the progesterone trying to stretch your uterus to prepare for pregnancy. And gal your HPT won't lie. You are pregnant!!! Just cling to that hope and keep on believing it!

emfossum - We have the same test date! Wow you put 4 beautiful blast!! We will suceed!!! Believe it!!!

This 2ww has been a torture. I tried to watch Olympic Games to pass time. Not easy! and Yesterday I POAS. Result -ve. I kept looking at it hoping to see a faint line and sometimes I just convince myself its there though I know my mind play tricks on me. Anyway, yesterday I asked my DH to do another progesterone level test and at the same time I pleaded him to check for my beta. YES, Iam cheating!!! My test supposed to be on 18Aug, but then I can't help it. And at 10dpt2dt, my beta is 35. OK try to remain cool about this coz the number is low and plus I got a -ve HPT. But then Ghost confirm with me that Im no longer under the influence of HCG trigger. OK give me hope. Still I try not to keep my hope high coz my last IVF I got BFP but then in then end turned out to be blighted ovum. Fell down hard.

Im getting worried again that the number won't double. Me and my constant worries . Think I age much in this few days and my DH seems regretting to check the beta. Today after my DH left for work, I POAS again. Yes, my hand is itching and my mind cannot take it anymore. And its a definite +ve. Thank GOD!!! that means my beta increase!!!! Ok I tried to tell myself to calm down. I called my DH and told him, but he sound upset coz I think he is scared of having hope. I think i won't POAS again. I will just go for my bloood test on monday. I just cling to my little hope and leave the rest to GOD to decide. Pray my number keep doubling and my embies keep stick on me!!! May God perform miracles to all of us!

[Marynaz]

Hopeful in SD,
Thanks for the note. I am better now after crying for hours. I can think better now. I already paid 3 times IVF refund plan so I have 2 more times to go through with my current RE. If I don't get pregnant I will change my RE. You take care of your baby

Hommy,
Thanks for the note. I wish you luck and lots of baby dust.

[Hopeful in SD]

Marynaz~ I paid for two up front, so I know the position you are in. Keep your chin up and I'll look forward to hearing how your second cycle goes in a month. My Dr. told me I had a much better chance the second time around. You are younger than me, so you have an even better chance. Take care of yourself

[sweetmomi]

thanks again for the support ladies.

Congrats hommy!

DH has been so supportive, taking care of me. He went out and bought more hpts. Since re says I must wait for beta, I have to test daily until then for my own peace of mind. 2 days.

I am staying positive but that cramping was so so bad. It eased up now thank God and the spotting stopped as well. My boobs are nowhere near as sore as they were, so that is scary but I am holding onto hope and all that we have gone through to get to where we are. I am grabbing onto the joy that I actually got 2+ hpts which is a first in my life. Never seen a +!!! Hope it sticks, God let it stick please!

I am sorry if my post upsets anyone who got a negative. I know how that feels. Been trying 7 years. We are such powerful women to go through all of this! When we do have our children, we will be the best mommies in the world! I am already claiming it for all of us.

[tortillachip]

Hi Gals,
Wow! A lot has been going on since I've been here. So my first time failed but I'm back in the saddle again after many days of ups and downs. I bought the 3 IVF's in a package from my clinic because of my age. I start Lupron AGAIN on August 31st. I wanted to thank each and every one of you for being just what I needed, when I thought I was crazy from being so damn emotional, when I thought I was crazy for peeing on so many stupid HPTs, when I thought I was all alone going through this process, I had you gals. THANK YOU!!!! I wish I could hug each of you...so I'm sending all of you a hug and warmth, and joy.

[babyloves]
