Angela - I will be praying for you, but I really believe this is it. I think you will hear a strong heartbeat. I am going for my 3rd beta in the morning. I pray my number is 240 or more! If it is, when do you think I will get an u/s? I will be 5 weeks on Tuesday.

Lauren - Thanks for the reassurance! Well after my first transfer in 2008, they did my first u/s at only 5 weeks and 2 days because I was spotting but normally they try to wait between 6 weeks and 7 weeks to do the first u/s. Because your HCG has to be over 2,000 for them to see the sac and fetal pole and the HB should start beating 5 ½ to 6 ½ weeks of pregnancy.

Good luck w/ your 3rd beta tomorrow. I am sure your beta will be great!

AND THE DRAMA CONTINUES....



Re called on Friday and said beta went from 8 to 19 so I had to continue meds. I was at the beach all weekend, still thinking chemical pregnancy, but they want bw again Monday. I didnt take any Hpts but thought I'd do one when I got home Sunday night and if it was neg I would know it was going down....well that damn second line popped right up! I just want this to be done with.....I have had 1 chemical and 2 m/c and I dont think I want to deal with it again. So now its wait and see what the beta is tomorrow. UGH! 19 at 14 dpo...not looking so hot. I guess I have to wait and see. Anyone know of stories of late implanters?

Neffi - I am so sorry about this rollercoaster ride that you are on. I want to wish you good luck w/ your beta tomorrow. I pray that you are part of a miracle. Your baby definitely is trying to hang on … what a fighter.

lauren - Oh dear. I am so sorry that you still getting -HPT. That is terrible. So you only had those 2 so you have no frosties or anything. Oh dear I am so sad for you. What will you do now? I really want to see you have a BFP girl. I am still hoping your beta will show hope and it's not over. I know it's hard to think that way but we have hurt worse right? Hugs and thinking of you girl. I am glad you kept busy yesterday and today will go by fast and you don't have to wonder anymore. Sure the veins in the boobs sounds like pg to me more then AF for sure.

waiting - ask emmax she's been bloaded and in pain for weeks now. And yes gaining weight is normal unfortunatly. But I am sure you will loose it ;)

debbie - ok so today you feel paranoid... You know dear I am still having my own children way passed 40. I just had one lasat december and I was 45 (not IVF) and my sister also at 45 had a healthy baby (not IVF) so you go girl you are still running good. I have faith in you girl... I know it's a lot of IVF but this one's got to work ... come on :)

Angela - so you will finally see your bean today? Is that it? I can't wait for updates. So exiting for you.

Lauren1171- so beta day again today... awesome. Keep us updated as soon as you can. We are all awaiting your results :)

Neffi - look at Angela up and down and now she is going to see the HB today. I tell you you are Pregnant and your baby is striving. I pray for a nice beta today and some answers for you. A BFP is better then mc... so you hang in there girl and cheer up until all hope is gone... you are still in the game congrats.

AFM - Well the weekend is not officially finished. Only thing left is official baptism pictures with baby and family which I can so after the move or something.

So Saturday went ok. Dh and my daughter were at it big... and with my mom in the van with them (of course she loves my daughter and hates my dh) so each he says bad stuff even if my mom doesn't understand a word of english she still feels the tension and knows he is giving her crap non stop and my DD is also playing the game. So of course as soon as I am alone with my mom I get the shit... So walked on egg shell all weekend. DH mad at me for too much official ceremonies and he was so tired of it he didn't even get dressed up for his own son's baptism. I was so upset... my I am dressing up all the kids and me and I never though I should have dressed him too. I though he could take care of himself... Anyways it's all done and so my little baby is now baptised and that is the main thing and Nicholas did excellent at his communion we got prof picture and it's perfect. And the family photos on Saturday went super good. Only problem we had to make 2 trips to bring people to the pictures cause we don't all fit in the van anymore.

So now I just have to try and concentrate on packing. Dh was so upset and frustrated he said I am getting an appartment. We are supposed to have 2 addresses for taxes and everything so for official reason he needs to get that after we sell the house but this time he said it like he wanted to leave us... I know he would never leave his children but I think he would go for get his frustration out... I guess that's ok?? Will see what happeneds.

And all of this is nothing compared to loosing babies so I am not one bit worried about that. Let's keep the faith and continu on our journeys and cheer each other up and make our little babies happenen. Hugs to you all.

I have taken two more home test still negative. No beta until tomorrow morning, but one of my test did show a faint line 12 hrs. later, so I am hoping my HCG just isn't strong enough to show on the urine test right away. The next 24 hrs are going to be long. I have been feeling pregnant like nausea, breast soreness,and I am hungry more than normal.

Well if the second line showed up then your Beta will be +. If you had no HCG it would not show right... so it might be low but I think it will be positive. I am very hopeful for you girl.

Hugs and patience your way

Hi Ladies,

I had my BW for my 2nd beta this morning and I'm just not sure why I feel so nervous. I know it's in God's hands, but I'm just a little anxious. I was at 149 on Thursday really praying it's doubled. Well I'll let everyone know when I get the call.

Thanks for all the support!

Hi Lauren,

We're in the same boat. I'm just waiting for my nurse to call with my 2nd beta level. I'm really anxious. I had to call DH so he could help calm my nerves. He said he's not worried at all. He told me he spoke to God & God told him it was fine he just didn't give him the number, but he say's he knows its more than doubled. Well it was really helpful to hear his confidence and faith. Sometimes I feel bad that I don't have as much faith as my DH.

ok so woke up this morning. Brown spotting which turned into dark red bleeding and some clots :( :(

Went to have bw done, no phone call yet. I think we all know what it will say anyways.

My poor DH is crushed. He has all the questions like why?? he says I am healthy so why wouldnt they stick that ive been prego before. I feel so bad for him. He was really excited.

I dont know what to say. I feel horrible. I guess I have to talk to my RE and see what changes will be made if any. and how soon we can re-try?

Angela-good luck today, cant wait to hear about your little baby..

Lauren-Crossing fingers for you!! Beta is gonna triple not double!!!

Is there anything that you all have learned or changes made to your cycles that have helped??
