Hey Ladies,

I hope everyone is hanging in there! Joyanna! Welcome to the board. I'm so sorry that your clinic will not bring you in to test. I'd be tempted to find a clinic to see if I could get a test there! The not knowing is the worst feeling! Good luck in getting some answers.

Well, my second beta results are in and I got a 1580! They more than doubled, so I am starting to feel a bit more confident in the pregnancy! My doctor actually wants me to come in on Monday for my first u/s!!! I am so excited! I really am shocked that he wants to see me so early b/c I will be 5 weeks, 6 days...so not even 6 weeks along. But, either way I am happy to go in and take a peek at what's going on!

I cannot remember when some people have their first betas...do we have anyone getting results today??

Lots of sticky baby dust to you all!!

Elisabeth

great Elizabeth!

My results are in. I am officially pregnant! First beta today 14dp3dt is 1161. We are thrilled! My next beta is Friday, I will try to not hold my breath until then, if you know what I mean.

Yeah!!!! Sweetmommi!!! Congratulations!!!! You must be thrilled with such a HUGE Beta! Remind me again how many you transferred?? There could really be triplets in there!! Way to Go! I am really happy for you both!!

Yeah Sweetmomi...Congratulations. you must feel sooooo relieved!!!

Well, we got the results to our 2nd beta (one week after my 1st) and it is a wopping 7888!!!! My sono is on Tuesday. I feel like I can relax again.

I'm loving these high beta numbers coming in. Hope our docs see many heartbeats for all of us!!!

Laura - so funny...I go to the same clinic except Dr. K is my doc and Dr. Brenner did my transfer...hahaha I've been really pleased with them

Antoak, sweetmommi and elisabeth - wow these beta numbers rock!!!

Joyanna - welcome!! Dont sweat the symptoms - i dont have many either and i just had my 2nd beta - it went from 850 to 2100

I seem to get these afternoon - like 4pm - headaches.

My u/s is the 22nd so i will be 6 weeks and a few days but the nurse told me not to freak out if theres no heartbeat as it will still be early but at least ill know its not an empty sac!

Hi! Great news w/ the high betas - my 2nd one today was 1953! My first one was 746 on Monday! So, I am psyched!!!
Antoak, Dr. K did my transfer!!! I probably see you all of the time - the new office is gorgeous - don't you think.

So, can I ask if anyone w/ their newly pregnant body has...
drank coffee
swam
had sex
or picked a name(s) yet?

My goodness....what a great beta number

Elisabethski73, antoak, kim14, lauralongisland, dcdiva - your beta numbers are sky rocket!!! Its a great relief isn't it? So happy for you all!!!

Can't believe my eyes when I saw the numbers...wow its more than doubled. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Sweetmomie - I just know it your number will be high. Because I have read so many articles and symptoms like yours and turned out to be multiple pregnancy. Its a great news

hahahaha I believe you can't stop smiling and crying of happiness.

As for me, I can't really sleep last nite due to my frequent passing urine and backache. Today I had mild cramp. Yesterday my DH suddenly said that he wanted to do my blood test earlier. I think he can't take the pressure of this 2ww. So I will be doing blood test on 15th August friday. It will be my 14dpt2dt. I hope I can see great numbers. Pray for me gals and share your babydusts to me

lauren: wow!! congrats on the great betas...u may have 2 or more for sure! Well..ur questions were interesting...sex yes, coffee or any caffeine incl green tea no, swimming no, chocolate no, and picking names started a while ago...how about u? we have a Z theme for the "kids" - hoping for 4, but hopefully this is the first...

Hi Ladies:
I have been following your thread lately, and just wanted to say Congrats! Wow, what great beta's! I also had my two betas this week, and am looking forward to my first u/s...which is Aug. 25th.
I would love to join your thread if that is ok.
Kim

Hi girls,
Do you have problem with frequent urinating? I always have this sensation like as if something pushing my bladder. Been going to toilet in every 5-10mins.

kim14 · Post by **kim14** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 11:25 am

Did anyone have issues when they switched to vaginal inserts from pio? i took the first one last night and my stomach/uterus had cramps - not sure which really. similar to when i take monistat

Hi everyone

The betas seems to getting higher and higher.......fantastic news!

I went to the clinic today and got my beta done - at last! I am 17dp5dt and it was 468...they said it was ok but I thought it looked a little low? I am going back on monday for another beta.

I have asked Ghost/IVF nurse for their input but just looking at all your numbers....I wish it was a little higher.

antoak · Post by **antoak** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 7:44 pm

Joyanna - You got a great beta....you should be sooooo happy. They say anything above 25 is a pregnancy...take a look at this website and then start to rejoice! Congratulations on your BFP.

Welcome Kimmy. Are you feeling any pregnancy symptoms?

I asked my mom last night if she experienced morning sickness and she said no....i really hope I'm that lucky

I'm just tired and bloated...anyone else feel like they already look pregnant? I'm afraid when I go back to work, everyone is going to be able to tell immediately. Oh well, there are worse things I suppose

Hey ladies. I just wanted to update you all on what's going on. My 3rd beta on Tuesday dropped from 150 to 43, they asked me to come back for a 4th beta today, and my level has dropped again to 15. They told me to stop my meds, come back Saturday for another check and schedule a follow up with my RE. She said it was probably a chemical pregnancy. So it just wasn't my time. Not sure what we are going to do now.

But I want to congratulate all of you ladies with those great BFP's!!! I am so happy for you all.

Good luck to all those still waiting on your betas!

Baby dust to you all.
