Hi everyone! So I have been on a different thread and chatting with sweetmommi who is also on this thread so I thought I would join!
I just did an FET on July 31st with one 5 day blast and got my first + beta on August 11th.......
1st beta 11dp5dt = 1175
2nd beta 13dp5dt=3974
3rd beta 18 dp5dt = 24,086 (today!)
I have been flipping out over these numbers and wondering what they mean! My ultrasound is not until either this Friday or possibly next Friday so in the meantime I am left to wonder! We are wondering if there are two in there? Identicals? So crazy.
Congrats to everyone on here! I have enjoyed reading all the success stories and this site has been so wonderful!
Good luck to everyone!
I am off to bed now at 9pm because I cannot seem to stay awake past 9 oclock anymore! Sooooo tired. But happy for all of it!

Hi girls,
Finally I can join you in this thread. Just come back from my RE, he gave me progesterone in tablet and pessaries. My scan will be on 9/03... another 2weeks and really can't wait to go for my scan. Really want to know whether its going to be viable. I think mine most probably a singleton but if twin, than its a bonus for us.

sweetmomi - My goodness!!! 3 babies inside you :shock: . Awesome :D !!!

elisabethski73 - Congrats!!! So amazing that you can hear the hb. Im so happy for you.

Kimmysq - Great Beta!!! Its terrific!!! When is your u/s?

Kim14 - Glad to know you are ok. Have you try to insert your pessaries from rectum, because I heard it has the same absorption as with vagina insert.

angel of wishes - Your beta is so high!!! High chance of multiple pregnancy! :D

Iam going to have another beta test on saturday (privately) just to make sure. At this moment I can just relax abit :D

Hi ladies. I'm happy to report that my second beta was 836 up from 161 on friday. I'm soooooo relieved and happy! Now I can sort of relax with the fact that I really am pregnant and that everything is going to be okay. I was so convinced that I was going to have to use an egg donor that it is hard to believe!

I think my due date is April 24....I look forward to getting to know all of you ladies.

Hopeful in SD My first u/s in scheduled for 8/24....then every Sunday thereafter. I think I remember your profile saying yours was the 25th. I didn't realize I would have an u/s so soon...exiting. My nurse said they would be able to tell if there is a heartbeat not this u/s but the next one.

SilverAngel: congrats on your twins! I missed your post the last time I was on.

JDC: It does sound early, but better early than late. I really wish I could go in this week, as I've said a few times I feel like I'm in the 2ww all over again. I would be satisfied to see a healthy sac and then go back for the hb, but I guess they simply want me to wait until we can hear the hb.

Sure Kim. I was a 5 day transfer and my beta's where as follows:
1st beta: 9dp5dt=210
2nd beta: 11dp5dt=396
3rd beta: 13dp5dt=762

I was sure this was a single because the numbers where just shy of doubling every 2 days and I was sure that twins where supposed to like triple or something, but then I went to this website: www.betabase.info
and they have a great chart that let's you look at what the numbers are for singles, twins, triplets..ect in girls that're in your age range.
When I looked at mine for a single pregnancy I was almost double what all those girls where at the same as me. So I was kind of convinced after that. Check it out. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Hi Ladies:
Had to get up for a drink and a middle of the night tinkle...anyone else experience this??

Just wanted to pop on and say hello. So much exciting news!!

My scan isn't until Monday, and it is just so hard to wait....I will be 6 weeks 1 day. I think I will feel better after my u/s, less stressed.
My pre natal are really making my tummy upset. Anyone else?

okay, off to bed.
Baby dust,
Kim

babyloves, it's so funny i was thinking the same thing myself. the second it was 6 weeks for me the nausea started. I'd had only a little till then. But it woke me in the middle of the night.
I've also been feeling this pit right under my breast bone. it's horrible.
Besides that I've just been WAY tried.

Thought I'd pop in and say hi.....boy I can relate - I am SOOOOO tired! I've been yawning all day long at work and a few comments have been made like "long night?". Yeah right, I was asleep at 8pm last night! It's funny because last week I felt queesy, but none of that now - I guess I'll see what happens when I hit 6 wks!

Hope all is well with everyone and have a wonderful evening!
