AFM: My 1st beta is Mon and I pray it is a BFP. So far thats what all my HPTs say but I dont want to get my hopes up just yet. Having the same symptoms everyday, cramping off and on, backaches, nauseated, sore boobies, and a little constipation (sorry TMI) but its horrible. I will keep all of you ladies in my prayers.

tryn4#2: OMGGGG Im going through the same exact thing right now. I went to the bathroom and saw a little bit of spotting and I freaked out. I'm 11dp3dt. I had my beta mon the 31st and I called my on call nurse and she said to come in tomorrow. She said it is normal and alot of times it means the baby or babies are digging into the uterine lining trying to find a cozy spot and you sometimes bleed. She said for me not to worry and stay off my feet tonight and drink lots of fluid. I pray nothing is wrong and our babies are ok. I know bleeding can be normal but I dont like to see it because I think its bad. But i also switched from the shots to suppositories and I think that may have something to do with it so im going right back to my shots. Im also cramping and hope thats normal. I poas on the 9th day post transfer and got a positive result and then yesturday I took 3 more hpt and a digital and it said pregnant so you should be able to test but dont get discouraged because everyone is diff. I will keep you in my prayers and pray we get our BFP.

Ladies please keep us in your prayers.

ladybug09 i hope the spotting stops soon even when we are told its normal and not to worry its hard not too, best of luck tomorrow with Beta i pray you have good high numbers. I also have cramping on/off though its not too bad, nausea at times, backache on/off and slightly sore bb's i think if i didnt have any symptoms i would also be worried!

Tryin4#2 i really hope you get your bfp and that the spotting is normal.

AFM so i am becoming poas addict! Beautiful dark line this am we are so nervous but trying to relax and hope all is ok. I hope this doesnt offend anyone but as we dont do betas here i am just wondering how would i know if its a chemical? Would i get my period shortly after a positive test? I dont want to sound negative but i want to be prepared, i never heard of chemical pregnancies till i looked at these sites.

Thanks a mil girls for your support

Gi...I had a chemical. I had a pos on Friday and Saturday 8/21 & 8/22. I went for beta Monday 8/24 and HCG had dropped to 18. Second beta was 8/26 and beta was at 3. So it went from over 50 to 3 in about 5 days. AF came this Friday 8/28. So if you had a chemical I think you would get a neg HPT before AF. But I am sure all is good so don't worry. :lol: You are PTPO!!!

ASM...I got AF and it is bad!!! Very heavy bleeding and crampy. I guess that is result of the chemical. One thing I have noticed since about the day before ET was a sharp pain in my right ovary area. It just comes and goes and when I roll over in bed it feels like it is pulling there. Do you think I have a cyst from all the meds? I go for u/s tomorow so I guess we will see. If all is good, I am going to try for FET in Sept. However I am suspecting a cyst and may have to wait till Oct.
Anyone else get a cyst from the stims. I got one when I was on clomid last year and had to take a month off. I fugure I was even more stimulated this time, so I wouldn't doubt if it happened again. DH hates seeing me go through all this. One things after another you know??

gi - a chemical pregnancy is just a fancy term for a really early miscarriage. Most people (with natural pregnancies) would have a late period, probably not even a week late (and be pregnant but not know it), then "get their period" late. They would have had no idea they were even pregnant and would just think they got their period late rather than know it is actually a miscarriage. Because we find out things so much sooner with ivf, we know what it is. Like lisa said, just keep POAS to keep tabs, and you'll be fine. :lol:

lisa - It is great to hear you a bit more upbeat. As for your pain, it is most likely your ovaries trying to recover to their normal size. It takes a long time! I felt the exact same thing, and while it could be a cyst, I think it may just be your body trying to get back to normal.

ladybug - CONGRATS HON!!!!! YAY!!

To all you worried spotters: While it is IMPOSSIBLE not to worry, let me just tell you that I still have spells of spotting. In fact, I had an incident last night, and while it was so scary, I kept telling myself that everything is ok, this happens, etc etc. Just wanted to give you spotters a little more encouragement that YES it is normal and is almost to be expected. To those of you who don't spot...I hate you. JK!!!! :lol:
