Emphossum - yea, I am taking it easy. Havent got any choice - DH hid my motorbike keys so I cant go to work when no one is around! He did bring my dogs up to the house yesterday so I could say hello to them though which was sweet!

Morning Ladies.... I just got my results from my beta.. I am indeed pregnant!!! My first beta was 544...WOW!! I am amazed, let's pray that the 2nd one on Tuesday doubles.. I have been having sharp pains on the right side, I really hope everything is going right. Thanks ladies for all the love and support...

Well enough about me... How is everyone else going? Just continue to pray and stay strong, it will happen for each and every one of us. I am still shocked, I had very little doubt when they only retrieved 6 eggs. So, that just means there is hope and never give up!!!

YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so great Truebeliever! I am so very happy for you. Your number is great so I am sure that everything is going to go perfect! Keep spreading that baby dust ;o)

My beta is tomorrow and this weekend, I have been surprisingly cool and calm about it. I have had a really good PMA and just thinking good things. I have had some nausea and continue to have sore boobs, but not sure if its the PIO or what. I just hope that HCG is creeping up!

Elizabeth, I am so curious..did you POAS??? Good luck with your beta tomorrow...I can't wait to hear!

Good luck to all of you who are being tested this week...baby dust to all!

I'm new to the board and just want to congratulate everyone who has has positives... and wish the best of luck for the future of those who have gotten negatives. For those who are getting ready to find out their results... hopefully you are holding out ok. I myself was pretty good all last week until the weekend came... now I am a nervous wreck. Every pain, every ache, every thing has me flipping back and forth on whether it will be + or -. I POAS Friday and this AM just to start seeing if anything is happening. My test isn't until next Sat... but I keep thinking maybe something will show up early and at least give me some peace. So far they have been negative. I'm testing on day 12 after transfer, so it is likely too early for anything to show up on a HPT, but I guess I haven't anything else to waste my money on this week

My question to you gals is... when you get the +... when do you stop feeling like a nervous wreck? After that last time with my M/C I don't think I'll ever not be a wreck until I'm holding a healthy baby in my arms. I joke that I'll probably be a wreck until it turms 18+, but I guess who isn't?

I'm lucky that I have insurance that pays for IVF and doesn't (at this time anyway) have a limit on times. If I get a -, I want to keep trying, but after 6 yrs of trying to have a baby it's getting really exasperating.

I told everyone for this time I didn't know what I was more scared of... that it would work and I might have another m/c or that it wouldn't work at all. After being so close yet so far away... it puts a different spin on things. You know it can work but....

Good luck to all!!!!

Hello ladies!!! CONGRATS Truebeliver!!!!!!!!
What a great Beta number. You have to be incredibly happy. We are all so happy for you. Let's keep the ball rolling ladies.

I don't feel good today. I have a bad headache, but I hear that is a good symptom. I don't know what to think anymore...my mind is always on some thought about am I?, or I hope I am.., but what if I am not. It is a relentless circle.

Welcome Dancinggirl76- I have a DD and it was a much easier start because it was all natural. I did remember fears of mc, but as time passed the fears subsided. When she was born, I worried about sids, now she is 13, and I worry that she is safe. When she goes to college I probably will worry that she is safe. It doesn't cosume me daily like today, but the worry comes up sporadically. I think it is just a natural process of nuturing and loving our babies. It is also offset by all the amazing joy they bring. I really think this process brings up more stress than a natural pregnancy by far.

Fullofhope2- I love your patience!!! My dh is at the drug store now getting a test. We want to take it today because he won't be around tomorrow and I don't want to get the (good) news and have to tell him on the phone. I want to read it together. So please say a prayer that my next post is a good one. I am still scared to death. Must have faith, must have faith!!!

As for everyone else I am thinking of all of you and hoping everyone is feeling good and relaxed as you possibly can. Lots of love and to all of you!

Oh my...! Sending POSITIVE thoughts your way!

Well I tested with an Answer early result test and got a faint line. So I am still cautious. I tool the test in the middle of the aftenoon after I have gone to the bathroom about 3 times. So needless to say I didn't have much to test with at the time I took the test. So I am planning to test again in about 4 hours. I will be more confident when I have a solid test with a darker line. So that is my news, at least that gave me some hope and eased my mind a bit. I would have been very sad if there was no line at all. I am presently 8dp5dt, so I think this a good time to test right?

fullofhope2 · Post by **fullofhope2** » Sun Aug 17, 2008 7:56 pm

Elizabeth - that's great! i am sure that the line, even faint, puts you at least a little at ease and gets you even more excited for tomorrow's test! I am thinking good thoughts and sending prayers your way and hoping you are feeling better! I can't believe that I haven't POAS yet, but I guess I am just holding out for that test that is 100%. My DH will be with me at the doc's office, so that will help either way. My appt is not until tomorrow afternoon, so I probably won't have results until later in the day...I'll keep you all posted!

Dancingirl - welcome - you couldn't be a in a better place - there is so much info and support here. With my first pregnancy, also natural, i was scared until i heard the heartbeat at 7 weeks. my doc said that once you hear the hb, your chances of miscarrying go down to 10%, as most defects occur before then. i will be praying for you too!

This is a big week ladies!!! Baby dust to all......

dancingirl76 · Post by **dancingirl76** » Sun Aug 17, 2008 10:37 pm

Elizabeth... whew... that does make you feel a little better huh? I hope the test later is even better and tomorrow I hope goes really good. Good luck!!!

TrueBeliever · Post by **TrueBeliever** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 11:14 am

Congratulations Elizabeth for seeing that line even though faint. Those getting Betas this week, I wish you all the best and can not wait till you come back and post those awesome numbers.

Ladies continuing to stim or in the 2WW, you time is coming. It may seem far away and I truly understand.. Just take it one day at a time. This is truly a stressful, but exciting time of our lives.

As for me, I have been having some sharp pains and I am a little worried that I could have an ectopic pregnancy. I may be reading too far into it, which I hope that I am. I left my nurse a message this morning, so she should be getting back to me by the afternoon. I have my second beta tommorrow. Just wish me luck, my DH told me to relax get some rest and everything will be fine. I guess it's different for me since I have all these extra hormones, and of course I will think the worse will happen. It is truly in the Lord's hands, I will keep you all posted on my next beta and when an ultrasound is scheduled.

Elizabeth - I don't think HPTs are known for false positives. Congratulations!!!!!

dancinggirl - I feel your pain of many years of unsuccessfully trying to conceive with no success. I think I may start a separate thread about it, in fact, as I know we have our own set of issues to deal with.

emfossum · Post by **emfossum** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 5:41 pm

Well hello everyone,

Kerpupples - It is nice to hear from you. I have been wondering if you have scheduled your appt., and if you are on any type of stims. I am not as familiar with Fet, and according to ghost it looks like the success rates tend to be better because they don't have to stimulate, in most cases. What have you and you dh decided on?

Truebeliever - I went in this morning for my beta, and should have the result later today. My mind keeps wandering because I keep getting cramps, and they seem to be more on my right side. Thoughts begiin to fill my head about ectopic pregnancy. I then have to tell myself that everything is just fine. I agree that these hormones don't exactly put us in the healthiest frame of mind. So I guess I am thankful that my Dh tries to calm and balance my erratic emotions. Instead of being happy I have been more emotional than usual, and even cried coming back from getting my beta test. He couldn't figure me out, and frankly I couldn't figure it out either. Thinking of you...hang in there we will be just fine...can't wait to hear about your second beta.

When I get my results today and get fullofhope2s result I will update our little chart. We have so many betas coming up. Sending everyone of you good happy thoughts, and PMA wishes.

kerpupples · Post by **kerpupples** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 8:42 pm

Elizabeth, we decided to do this last FET at our current clinic. If we make the move to CCRM we'd like to do so with a clean slate. I'll probably call to make the initial appointment with CCRM in the next couple days, just in case.

I'm dying to see your beta here!

emfossum · Post by **emfossum** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 11:30 pm

Hi everyone, well my beta came in pretty low. It is 37.5, the RE said that it was not good, but it was not bad, and that we will know a lot more on Wed. for my second beta. I basically was speechless. The nurse called me afterward to make sure I am okay on meds, and I couldn't hardly speak because I am so scared. She told me not to worry, but I can't help but wish that I had a higher number. It doesn't help that I feel so incredibly hormonal at the moment. I said some prayers and handed this over to God, and I just need to wait. Do any of you know of success stories where the beta started this low?

Kerpupples- I am glad you are going to use your frosties.

Wishing all of the the very best.

Thank you all for all your support.

emfossum - sorry it was on the low end, I really hope it doubles on your next check.

I dont do my beta until Friday, so just waiting until then. I am still very swollen I feel like I am 20 weeks pregnant. Its weird during the stims I wasnt swollen at all but since the ET I have been so bloated and uncomfortable.

Anyone transferring early in August??
