yes, symptoms come and go. It's hard not to get nervous when some things disappear, but try to ride it out.

Also, a lot of people on here have multiples and their symptoms may be stronger so try not to worry.

JJJake~ That is great news on your beta! You sound so happy and I'm thrilled for you. And then on top of that you get an earlier US than us. :wink: Let us know what you see. I hope you get to see the HB! Might be a little too soon though.

Chris~ Loving your new smileys!!! They always make me laugh too.

I crashed on the couch...meaning that one minute I was awake and the next I was gone. Don't even remember falling asleep. :?

Have a good night!

Amanda - What a great 3rd beta. I know what you mean about a long wait. I had my 2nd beta one week ago and my u/s is on Monday. It is taking forever to check on my baby!! With your numbers it does seem like you might have more than one in there. Good luck!!


JJJAKE - Alright on a good beta. Take it easy and rest up.

Chris - I love all the smileys you find also!! They are great.

Hello Ladies,

WOW I am not sure I have ever seen such nice second and third BETA's
I am so excited to hear about all these babies from the ultrasounds. I think we may break records with multiples.

Hoping everyone has a great day!!

Thanks to all the rest of you for your congrats. Looking forward to beta #2 tomorrow and will of course update you all with the results.

Does anybody else feel like they could sleep all day long? I'm sooooooo tired.

Chris - I guess it could be the PIO. I seem to recall the smell though after I had my MC while waiting for my hCG to go back down to zero and I was off the PIO by then. I did definitely notice the PIO smell prior to ET but it seems a little different now. Who knows!

Renee- So sorry it was not what you hoped for. But 6 all in the same size range is not all that bad. And they are small enough that more can and may up. Are you CD6 from the start of your cycle or 6 days on stims? You prolly still have quite a few days of shots ahead of you and those will plump up those follies. I was told that on the lupron flare not to get upset if it seems like not much growth in the beginning because the lupron can suppress that and that the growth will come. Your follies can and will grow 1-2mm a day and you want to be slow and steady imo so you have nice healthy mature eggies. Just remember is really does only take 1 we have alot of ladies ont his forum who only got a few eggs and are now pregnant.

Just take it one day at a time, I bet at your next u/s you will see a nice difference.

Renee-

Sounds about right to me. The good thing is that you have them in the same range. This gives you a chance of getting all 5! And that aint shabby!

A quick post as I have to go to a board meeting and just feel asleep fo an hour without realizing it.

Renee~ I would be happy with your follies!!! The best part is that they are all the same size...that's excellent. Yes, you can produce more still. The important part is that they will be good quality.
I only have one ovary and the first time I produced 3 follies. ER: 2 eggs. ET: 2 blasts. This time, I produced 5 follies (took me 15 days of stims). ER: 5 eggs. ET : 3 blasts. Got prego both times.
Don't even think about your next cycle already, don't you count this one out at all. You've got your potential babies in there and they need all the PMA they can get.
I think you are doing great!

Amanda~ Congrats on an excellent third beta. I'm glad that puts your mind at ease. I wonder what mine is like right now.
You are one of the lucky one who doesn't get symptoms. You probably don't feel so lucky about that right now and I understand it. You want to feel something.

Kerpupples~ Good luck with your second beta tomorrow. Bring us another fat one! :D

Lynnie and Mztia~ Hope you're doing well during your 2ww! Getting closer and closer to your BFPs!!

Toobee~ Thinking about you girl!! Hope you're feeling better. It might take a while but you'll get there.

I'd do more personals but I've got to go. I will talk to you tomorrow.

Much love to all!

Hi everyone! My computer is really acting up...turns out my hard drive is full. I take a lot of pictures, so I have to figure out how to store them! I had my second beta today...DH asks me how many are in there, I don't know? I'm not sure what to think! I would be thrilled to have one healthy baby, and two would just be an incredible blessing! We transferred 2.

1st beta 11dp3dt - 275
2nd beta 18dp3dt - 5,560

My u/s is scheduled for 10/02. Does this seem high?

baby dust to all :D

hoping4amiracle - Wow, that is a long time between test. One week between beta and your u/s sounds far away. You have to wait until Oct? It does sound like you might have more than one in there. I put the numbers in an Hcg calculator and it is a good 2 day rise at 136%.

Renee- You need to focus on this cycle before you start thinking about any more you might need. Your follies sound good and it is great they are the same range. You might not have as many as you thought but they can still be the one you need. Good luck!!
