Hey guys - Well, it turned out to be a chemical pregnancy, which was pretty awful to deal with. The worst part was being freaked out about the ectopic possibility for two days. By Friday, my 12 went to a 5 and they said I could stop the progesterone. I was supposed to go in today, but I got AF today, so there really wasn't a point. We're supposed to have a meeting with our doctor soon to talk about what to do next and what might have gone wrong. They were mucking with my progesterone doses but only did one monitoring test, which seemed weird to us and to another doctor we spoke with last week, so we are going to ask about it.
We have two frosties and we think the clinic is going to want us to do an FET in July. (CT_Michele - I'll see you on the June/July board!) But, we are debating pushing for a fresh cycle because we still have $1200 of follistem in the fridge, which is almost enough for a fresh cycle. We are paying out of pocket, so the FET would be cheaper, but we hate to waste the drugs we already bought, especially since we know we'd do IVF again anyway for siblings later. So I guess we'll just have to see what the clinic says and decide where we go.
I'm still having a bit of a hard time being so close and yet so very far, but I guess it will get easier. Ugh, either way, looks like it'll be lupron headaches coming this summer.
Neffi - I hope it turns out really well for you!!!
Faith03 - when is your beta? did you break down and hpt?
Well I got my BFP today. My beta was 59 at 11dpo...which is high....the website that lists average betas for certain days past ovulation and 59 is average for a triplet pregnancy for this day!!!!! I am concerned now becasue I didnt even carry Jack to term let alone twins or triplets! I am going for another beta on Wed and then my ultrasound should be June 5th....

hey amfmbaby!!! COngrats to you. I think 27 is low for twins, but what do I know. Go to basebeta.info and there are median levels for days past ovulation....so if you are 13dpo then look at the 13. Congrats again...hoping for those numbers to rise. when was your beta? how many days past transfer were you?

amfmbaby...ok so you are 10pt today but your beta of 27 was friday? so then you were only 10dpo on that day....you had a 3 day transfer right? Looks like you are in between a single and twin pregnancy on the beta board...so it could be twins! when does your clinic do ultrasounds???

neffi- wow, congrats to you! I am so happy you got a bfp this time, and it is great you will have your babies so close together. If it is multiples and you deliver before the end of the year, can you imagine they might even all be in the same grade at school! That would be crazy. But congrats to you...multiples or not, just great to hear your news. By the way, I know that number is high since mine first beta with ella was only a 44 and that was 15dpo.

Neffi and afmbaby congrats!!!I am so happy for u both...
No I still haven't done the hpts ... Have no such symptoms other than just mild twinges in lower abdomen and around my ovaries .. Boobs are tender only when I get up in the morning .. Girls plesse tell me whst symptoms fid u get before u got ur bfps???DH wants me to do the test but I am not sure... Neffi u said to use the 20 mean one but if I'll order it online now ,it will take a few days .. Can u get that one at cvs or Wallgreens???what time should it be done ( first morning pee) or anytime .. I am so sorry about asking these questions ..it is just that my nurse didnt tell me anything about them .. She says we don't believe in anything before 2 weeks post transfer
Faith03-- looks like the best test to buy at the store is the First Response early detection.....they should have that at CVS or Walgreens. It claims to show 12.5! but I'm not sure about that. I have no symptoms other than random cramps every now and then and I had no symptoms with my son either. First morning pee is the best to use...godd luck!

Faith03 I havent had any symptoms other than sore boobs and litle crampy and tierd all can be connected to pio I used first response early detection its 18.00 for 3 pack here so you would have a few if you tested remeber not to get upset if it bfn some women have no positives even after getting thier bfp but my fingers are crossed for you and we had transfer same day so if you wanna test I say go for it lots of baby dust to you
