Morning ladies. I didnt post yestetdy bc it was a long tough dat for me. My left ovary is killing me. I could barely move at work! I am back at the doctors right now hopefully to get my instructions for trigger! Yesterday my supervisors gave me such a hard time bc I couldnt be at work today...It was rough bc im hurting an emotional as you all know

Angela hunny try to look at the positives like the progeaterone and what the nurse said. I dont know much about doubling and the hours whether 48 or 72. Im so sorry you were upset and had to continue at work that is a tough thing to do. Stay strong and POSITIVE!!!!!! could it be the early stages? Im not sure. Stay busy this weekend..xoxo

hi franca

thanx 4 replying , i can totally relate 2 u ..........i hate this damn 2ww .....it's more than i can bear .but i guess having ur symptoms can be a very positive sign guess we'll just have 2 keep hoping & praying 4 the best 2 happen ...........u know i guess i'm not only depressed from the ICSI on it's own only ..the fact that i work like donkey at i job i hate everyday is really getting on my nerves...........ppl tell me i'm a pushover ..........i guess i am ....i'm so scared of standing 4 my rights ......but i need 2 do SOMETHING about this crazy boss of time ............last week i reported all her violations 2 the audit dept. ......that should make life hell for her .....................i'm really down .........so very scared 2 take the blood test tomorrow pary 4 the both of us .....

Angela,

I will be praying for you and your baby. You are right this is in God's hands and only he knows your baby's plan...We all have control issues, but this time you have to let it go. I am calling the kettle black, because I too worry about numbers,progesterone and heartbeats. We have done everything we could have done to have a miracle, so let God do his work now. I have had several miscarriages, a loss of a child is one of the most painful experiences. However, there is always a reason and we have to look at all the positives...Stay positive, and let God do his work... He creates wonderfully made miracles!

Angela- I know how scary this is so I wanted to quickly share what happened to me! My first beta was 88 and then I went away for a few days and when I got tested four days later it only went to 210 which clearly didn't double. My re said they want a 66& increase (that the doubling rule wasn't an exact science) and when I went in two days later the beta was almost 500! So don't fret since your beta is still increasing and your other levels look amazing! Keep up the PMA!

Angela - I have been on this board for more than a year during my own journey ttc and have seen sooooo many miracles. Getting pregnant at all is such a miracle and in the end, all in God's hands.......... Please try to stay positive. YOU ARE PREGO!! I agree with the nurse on the progesterone..........my RE has me on HCG injections during my 2WW in order for my ovaries to produce its own progesterone so if your number is high then your pregnancy is progressing. Enjoy your weekend and the fact that right now you are pregnant! You will have 20+ years to worry when the baby is born.

Lauren So Sorry your supervisor is giving you such a hard time. it's hard enough with out having to deal with people who don't understand! Sorry to hear you are so uncomfortable, hope you get the good news to trigger soon.....keep us posted.

YasmeenI am soooo sorry to hear of all your trouble with work. Life is too short to have to deal with bosses like that. IVF is stressful all on its own with out having to deal with that crap! As far as having no symptoms, that just means you have no side effects from the drugs you are taking. If you are pregnant it is too early to experience real pregnancy symptoms. Keep the faith, your beta is tomorrow and you could be prego!!!!! I have symptoms and not even had my ET yet! It is the meds that they put us on that mimic pregnancy symptoms. U may be one of the lucky ones that has a symptom free pregnancy! Try to stay positive and enjoy being PUPO! Good luck tomorrow on your BETA.........Cant wait to hear your results...................

Stephanie I am sending you some PMA! Try to enjoy that you are pregnant! Anything can happen tomorrow or the next day but if we spend all our time worrying about the "what ifs" we miss out on so much of what is really happening, like your pregnant! Enjoy it! Keep us posted - can't wait to hear how you get to see your baby and hear the hb!

AFM, waiting on my fert report this morning...........looks like the doc is going for a 3dt instead of 5 this time! I'll try anything to get a BFP!! Has anyone done HCG injections during their 2WW, or Lovenox injections? I did an intralid infusion on Wednesday - anyone out there have success with any of these???

Sending lots of PMA to you all!!!

Hey Yasmeen,

Tell your boss whoever he/she is to piss off...your obviously pretty, intelligent everything they would want to be...keep smiling giel your prego

Emmax – thanks for the kind words. When is your second beta?

Yasmeen – Welcome to the board and good luck on your beta (HCG) test tomorrow. There are many women who are pregnant w/ no symptoms so keep thinking positive!

Lauren – thank you so much for your positive words … it’s going to be such a long weekend!

Stephanie – thank you so much for the support. I just can’t believe I am going through yet another difficult pregnancy!!

Claudia – I remember when you were having problems w/ your beta numbers. Thank you so much for reminding me of your situation because your kind words do provide some hope for me.

Anissabug – thank you so much for the positive words. I sure hope a miracle happens in this situation! Yes, I also injected Ovidrel twice during my cycle. I injected it 36 hours prior to my ER and then two before my egg transfer. I haven’t used Lovenox but I am currently using Heparin twice daily, which is very similar to Lovenox. I think that protocol is pretty much a standard w/ a lot of RE.

Debbie – Welcome to the group. It is normal for your symptoms to go away if you injected another HCG injection just prior to your ET. But, that doesn’t mean that you will not get your BFP. The mild cramping, pinching, and headache are all good signs. Good luck w/ your beta on Monday!

AFM – Well, I am trying to take it easy over the weekend but my mind just keeps wondering. I think sometimes knowledge can be such a big problem, which then makes me worry myself so very much. I am praying to god that my baby will be fine and my beta increases the way it is supposed to on Monday.

[Franca]

Angela you will be more than fine my love

So now I can relax and get ready for ER! So happy and nervous since I dont know what to expect. Thxs for all your support!!

[Anissabug]

RE called and only 5 fertilized with 3 looking iffy.........a little disappointed because we had so many, you never know from cycle to cycle! ET scheduled on Monday at 11:15am. Now we need to decide on how many to transfer I will check back later...............
