Jenn
I was talking about you to DH at dinner telling him you get you results today. I was anxious to hear!!! 11 yrs is a long time. I have been married for 19 yrs and we had been activly trying for 15 of those so I know where you are coming from.
Barb
The 2nd beta is to see if your level is going up or down. Not sure why they would be doing us this soon.
metcarl
the bloated feeling does go away. When all of my symptoms went away I was worried something was wrong!!
Anyone that has gotten BFP showing yet? My belly already looks like I'm 2 months!! I've tried to suck it in and it won't go!!
Thanks for the advise on the progesterone shots. I will try having my husband massage the area tonight.
I asked my doctor about it and she said it is normal to get those bumps just as long as nothing looks infected. She told me to put a warm compress on it. I went in today for my 3rd and last beta. It was 2,573. I am so happy it has been doubling. We go in Friday for our first ultrasound. She said they will look for the sak to see how it looks and to see how many. She said it may be possible to see a heart beat but maybe not. I am so excited I can hardly stand it!!!
Alright ladies!!! I haven't posted recently but congratulations to BarbD, JennLB, Molly23 and Wednesday for adding to our growing list of BFPs. Some I know have waited longer than others (Jenn). Ntrlmystic79 if you're still out there I'm thinking of you and praying for healing. RosiePosie hello! One more day for Tburks and Waiting for 4. Good luck. Kittycat is testing tomorrow, too. Extra baby dust for you. Miracles happen.
As for me, happy to report beta 2/13 was 271 and today 2/16 was 978. I am definitely feeling (or imagining I'm feeling) symptoms of prenancy. I feel nausea at night but no dry heaving, I pee 1-2 times a night, I have to eat all the time, my boobs are sore (I'm even contemplating getting a B-cup bra) Sometimes when I get up to pee I get such bad hunger pangs I have to snack. I'm getting lazy and I put some fruits and snacks at bedside so I don't have to walk all the way to the kitchen. And yes Tburks I feel like my belly is pooching. I know its not really the uterus its just gas (definitely more gassy) and the fact that I'm on bedrest and eating 5 times a day. Gonna be a shock to DH coz I'm barely 100lb soaking wet and the way I'm chowing I'm gonna double that easy.
Welcome to Missygirl and Metcarl. Missygirl I've bled twice now. No clumping but I have read this can happen. Make sure you go on more bedrest but that will be a challenge with a toddler. Metcarl the bloating is fluid your ovaries are making. It took me about 4-7 days post transfer to not feel bloated. My nurse recommended gatorade and rest.
Brit1612 The wait is agonizing but getting the news that you are officially prego is worth it. I got mine 16dp5dt which is the clinic protocol. They said anything over 100 at this point is good.
BarbD I don't think you should sweat not getting a 2nd beta. The ultrasound tells us more information about the pregnancy. Good luck on thursday!
*Ert* My butt is one lumpy ball of fat. I think there are lump-makers and no-lump-makers. Tburks and my clinic recommend a warm compress after to help distribute the oil but I'm lazy. I only have the motivation to ice before. I had lumpy-booty my first 2 cycles too. It goes away and no one but DH sees it anyway.
Labstoo Funny how we take something like electricity for granted. Welcome back to the 21st century (or whatever century it is). Whenever any of my friends or relatives announce pregnancy there is part of me that goes a little green. Its just part of being human

I did have my 2nd beta today and it was 876. I go for a third one next Monday, and then they said the ultrasound will be around the 1st of March. They said they like to wait on that to see if there is a heartbeat. I am happy with my 2nd beta, but it seems weird that I have to go a whole week without knowing anything.
Had my 3rd beta today and the results were 2507! They told me they wanted to see them over 1000 so I was a little surprised at 2507! They also scheduled my u/s for 3/3. I am so excited! The only symptoms I have had are getting up in the night to pee (I did this before though, just seems more urgent), sore boobs and a little tired.
DH and I are going to a baby expo this Thursday to check out a new hospital and OB's. About 2 years ago, my OB moved to Utah and I was crushed and haven't been thrilled with my current DR. Hopefully, they will have some good info available!
Good luck to the ladies with beta's tomorrow! Baby dust to all!
Since I'm still on bedrest I updated our tracker to make it easier to cheer along instead of scrolling through the last 6 pages. I put them in order of events pending. (If I didn't know I left things blank) Please feel free update.
Labstoo! yahoo! That is excellent news. So sorry my list isn't up to date but I was typing as you were posting. I remember that you were so worried that you had D2 transfers. Now you are most definitely prego. This is definitely meant to be. You go girl!
I was trying to make our tracker easier to read. I tried a chart format on word but when I cut and paste it was all jacked up. This is the best I could do.

Back from our trip. Feeling relaxed (but nervous) for beta #3 tomorrow. Don’t have a lot of time for a detailed post, but I was eager to log on and check on all my ladies.
Hooray for BarbD, JennLB, Molly23 and Wednesday!

Sending plenty of good vibes your way for your betas Tuesday.

Hey Ladies!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Congratulations to all the BFP ladies! Great news!
Big hugs to the ladies that didn't get good news. I wish the best for you.
An update - my Beta is Saturday, Feb 21....feels like the 32nd of Juvember! I am a little concerned about NOT having any spotting. Seems like most of you have had it. I'm worried that is a sign of the embryo(s) not implanting. I have some mild cramps and bloating, but that's about it. Is it normal NOT to have spotting or many symptoms. ET was 2/8.
Question for you ladies--------should I call RE and ask for a second BETA the suspense of not knowing that everything is going ok and that my numbers are going up and putting more stress on me.
tburks...I wanna know as soon as you know. Honestly praying for you!!!! Please give her the desire of her heart!!!! Please let her see that BFP!!!!

Tburks- Good Luck today, and I hope you get your BFP.
Barb- I actually wish my ultrasound was sooner like your's is. I guess all doctors are different with their protocol after your BFP. If another blood test will ease your mind I would ask for it.
It's Official !!! BFP BFP BFP BFP!!!!! Thank you LORD!!
Can you tell I'm excited!!!
Ok let me see if I can get these #'s out here. I am 12dp3dt. My level was 187.6. RE said that was a really good #.
The symptoms I have so far is getting up about 3 times during the night peeing. My belly is bloated One of the girls at church told me that I looked bad. Wasn't that terrible! But I am big for it to be so early. I weighed 130 when I started all of this now I am 148.
Anyways...........Good Luck to ALL of you get those BFP!!!
I've tried to suck it in and it won't go!!
