Hi Cindy,

I took a HPT test this morning also and I too have a faint positive line! I really hope this is a good sign. I also have terrible heartburn which I have heard is a good thing too.

Me: 31 (blocked tubes)
DH: 29 (Perfect)
1 IVF: April/May - BFN
2 IVF: July/August - 2WW
Beta on 19 August

mlorfei- that's great about your positive hpt! I'll be praying you have a good, strong beta Wednesday. I developed OHSS with my fresh cycle and oddly I feel like I have it again (mildly). Is that even possible with a FET??? I'm pretty bloated and a little short of breath.

dogzrule-I'm glad you're RE is on top of things! My RE doesn't do PIO at all. I'm on the edometrium vaginal suppositories and he thinks they work just as well. I can understand your hesitation on switching when the PIO has been working for you. Take it easy!

mlorefi after yesterdays neg this is very promising!!!! I felt sorry for you yesterday when you thought it was a bust but as i said your hcg is only dectable by sensitive hpt from day 8 so it sounds like you are preggars girl!!! Hopefully it will keep getting darker for you xxx

Sportsmom - Yeah for you 2!!!! Sounds like a BFP to me - you have given me some faith in FET xxxx

ladybug i am starting the progesterone supp tomorrow 2 x daily which is same as you 2 days before transfer - dont worry this is all normal - and big Congrats on you little embies xxx

dogzrule OMG!! There is always some event going on with you!!! lets hope this is the final one and wishing you a safe and uneventful 8 mths xxx

gi - doing the "survive the thaw" embie dance for you!!! I too am hoping this is the last "issue" with my pregnancy. I'm getting annoyed lol.

sportsmom - They put me on prometrium, I assume it's the same thing you are on? And I'm not so sure the injections were really working too well for me anyway. At the first test, my level was 18, so they upped the dosage and it increased to 38 YAY!!! BUT this past Friday (a week and-a-half since the 38 ) it had dropped back down to 21, which is still adequate, but a little lower than I would like to see. I'm praying that these do a wonderful job! This really isn't as fun as I thought it would be.

thanks dozrule need all the help i can get!!! You would think when we get pregnant all are probs are solved but it only brings on new worries and we wont relax until we have our babies safetly in our arms - it will be worth it in the end xxx

I was off the computer over the weekend. Lots of catching up to do.

Michele - can you add my BFP to the list?

geckogirl - congrats on your transfer and that 100% made it through the thaw. I'd wondered if you could refreeze them after they'd thawed, but not gotten around to asking. You answered my question! Now stick stick stick!!!!!!

tunieczka & cressicaw, DillysGirl - wishing you lots of patience on the 2ww. i know its hard. i almost went crazy myself. my inlaws came into town unexpectedly at the last minute, so that helped. if you come up with any great distracting tactics, please share them. I'm now on my 2ww for my sonogram. The waiting just doesn't stop!

dogz - sorry about the progesterone issue. its weird that it just started. i'd never heard the shots were superior. i'm sure you'll be fine. glad that caught it.

DillysGirl - congrats on your transfer. its great your DH was able to be there.

katie99 -- your "mom" post to Tortilla was really sweet. i've got a great mental image of you and those dogs!

lisa - jumping at the wedding...too funny. you're a good sport!

ladybug - my RE days there isn't a "Best" day for transfer. it totally depends on you and your embryo quality. lots of people (some on this board) have gotten BFP after day 3 transfers. Good luck!

Faith9455- grow, grow grow. Praying for your patience. My cycle was long too! Its hard, but hang in there!

Amandama and Sportsmom - What???? the dollar tree has HPT? I had no idea!!! I'm not going to think about the money I could have saved. I didn't POAS but my DH asked me if I wanted to after my BETA, just to see if I could actually get a positive on one. I've been looking at negatives for years.

AFM I had my 2nd beta today. My first at 14 days after retrieval was 223. Today's at 18 days post retreival was 1586. I won't go in again until my sonogram on 9/1. I'm excited about the possibility of multiples. More patience needed, but I'm feeling good. Super sore boobs and waves of nausea, but I kind of welcome them!

Hi Ladies!

I had an appt today. Sat when I went they saw 8 measurable eggs, today there was about 12 so that is cool!! I havent been feeling much. The other day when I posted I was feeling what felt like crazy ovulation pains so I guess that was the initial eggs being released? Anyway, havent felt much but a small cramp here and there since then. And I have learned not to complain about that!

Now today I am feeling really bloated! UGH! My pants have gotten tighter since this morning. They called me today and said to decrease my Follistim. they are looking at ER for this weekend! YAY I am excited. I hope all stays on track for this weekend to be it! I go back every morning now until ER.

I am thinking and praying for everyone on this site. Congrats to any BFP's I might have missed mentioning! PMA to you all in the 2WW and to you who are starting stims this week!!

Today is 7dp3dt and my first blood work (which I think is Beta) came back at 18 so they are increasing my Progestrone Injections - she said not to worry that many women are pregnant with this number but they like it to be 20.

My official pregnancy test is not until next Monday.

Does any of this make sense to someone that understands BETA? Good or bad, I would just like to be more informed.

Thank you...

Hi Cindy & Gi, thanks for the positive reinforcement!

Gi: Your reply to my note about the cramps and backpain helped me stay optimistic. I thought my AF was just moments away but the following day all my symptoms were gone. Last night, in the middle of the night, I woke up w/ terrible heartburn which made me think I should take a second preggers test since I NEVER get heartburn. I honestly don't think I truly knew what it felt like until last night (horrible!).

I'm sooo hoping that HPT correct!

Cindy: I've had a lot of bloating this time around (more so than during my first round) but now it's kind of a heavy feeling rather than a bloating feeling. It's hard to explain. Are you feeling kind of heavy in your lower abdomen. This started just a couple of days ago (6 to 7 days PT).

Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!

Michelle

cressica - it sounds like they may be talking about your prog level, not your beta hcg level. My prog level was also 18 when they 1st tested it and they upped my dosage as well.

Hi ladies, im sorry for not posting for a while as i have had too many freakouts to count this last week of my 2ww! I have been reading everyones posts religiously - this is addictive and i am so desperate to know how everyone is doing!

Well 3 hpts later (just to check of course

) and i too seem to have a bfp!!!!!

Its really weird i thought i would be running around like a lunatic but im really not! I can only put it down to 2 things:
I just cant quite believe after over 3 years of trying that this could actually be it!
and i am just scared to death now that something will go wrong

Well - i dont do beta test like a lot of you guys, so the next thing i do is go in in 2 weeks for a scan to check everything out and see whether there is 1 or 2 little angels in there.

This weekend im going to see U2 in Cardiff in Wales (my fav band in the whole wide world

) and my dh informs me he is going to strap me to my chair as i usually turn into a mexican jumping bean at concerts!!!

Thanks everyone for helping me through such a tough time - i am convinced the support on this board increases the chances of success - i have not once felt alone through this.
I am snowed under in work at the mo - so i cant really do personals but i did want to say to deftones that i lost my grandad in january this year and my dad several years ago now and i - have put my order into them daily thru this telling them that they are in the primo place to help me get the result i dream of - and at this early stage it looks like they may have come through for me

. So i truly believe that your dad will be your guardian angel throughout this tough time

Take care girls

Helen

Thank you dogz - I think you are right, that makes sense.

Day 2 of stims and having cramps- mild but cramps- is this normal?

amandamae · Post by **amandamae** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 6:00 pm

dogz- Sorry that you developed an allergy to the shot... I am also on the suppositories... They gave me the choice so I thought I would try them instead of the shot- i was starting so badly that I couldnt walk or move.

mlorfei- I hope that you do have a bfp!! I have you in my thoughts!

gi- I am doing the best thaw dance for you as I can! I hope that all goes well and i will have you in my thoughts and prayers!! Wish you the best of luck

butterfly-congrats on the numbers!! I hope that you get wonderful results at the sonogram...

penny- grow follies grow.... Good luck!!!

I just want everyone else to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!!! Baby dust to all and sticky dust to those...... I hope that all is well with everyone!! Take care...... Going crazy waiting on my results!!!!

amandamae · Post by **amandamae** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 6:11 pm
