May cycle buddies :)

BabyRN - Congrats on the beta!!! When I did this last time, I absolutely could not wait until the RE's beta. So after I was getting BFP on HPT, I called my regular OB's office to get B/W...I got three of them before I had to do my two betas with my RE. I ended up with 5 betas because of my impatience...but it was worth it .

Rio - I can't believe your number went up, what torture. AF needs to come for you to help bring closure. I hope your RE will reduce the price for you...I doubt mine would.

Purplefish - I would love for all my fertilized eggs make it to 5dt.

AFM - Anxious for my 10 day U/S tomorrow. I am hoping and praying that some of the other follies will have grown a lot in the past 48 hours. Each step in the process is totally agonizing and so I am really glad I have you guys to talk too. Nobody else understands what we go through, no matter how hard they try. It really gives me strength, in a way that I just can't describe. Thanks ladies for all your kind words and support.

**this is what happens in a 3dt :

*****transfer this day

1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
2dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
3dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
4dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
5dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
6dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
7dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells &
fetal cells
8dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
9dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
10dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
11dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on
HPT

Rio- what a rollercoaster. I am so sorry that you are going thru this. Hugs to you.

Lisa32- hugs to you too. Ugh, I am just so sorry this whole experience is so unkind.

Kitty- how are you holding up? Best wishes to you.
AFM- good luck mtg w/ dr. The cost $$$ makes this all so much more difficult

Pep - I have lost track- when is your ultrasound??? Have you already had it??

Bei and ESheperd- GREAT blastocyst news! go blasto go! Sticky thoughts to both of you!

PaFa- people are CLUELESS what it is like to go through what we go thru! so sorry you had to deal with that. Imagine how difficult it was for women w/ this struggle BEFORE the internet gave us a way to connect? Ugh. That just sucks that they made such insensitive remarks. Meanwhile...........stay away from POAS! you will drive yourself crazy!

My update: I had another beta yesterday and the HCG numbers are ok but my progesterone dropped in a big way. I know the fertility clinic is confused and a little worried b/c they have all talked and consulted and called me 3 times and are changing some of my meds. I have more b/w on Thursday. It is really nerve-wracking. You are just never in the clear on this journey. But i will say this-- as happy as I was to be off the PIO and put on the pills and Crinonine, I would trade it all to know I have a good progesterone at this point! I will go back on PIO so fast if it helps my numbers.
So, i am just hoping and praying that things look better tomorrow.

Purple- do you have any symptoms yet? I felt a little queasy earlier today- like just before you get food sickness, but I have not had any food yet-- (so I was hoping it was a good sign) what do you think?

Good luck to all & take care

[BabyRN]

I had a repeat beta 48 hours after my first and it was 218!!!!! Did this one behind my Re's back too , I had to know before her!

[BabyRN]

Should I still be crampy at this point??

[Bril]

BabyRn - you are too funny with all these secret Betas! Congratulations on your high numbers! I think all the progesterone adds to the "crampy" feeling.

[lisadcb]

BabyRN - I think it is awesome that you already know your BFP before your RE. As for the cramping...I was cramping and spotting during my 5 betas...it's normal.

AFM - Just got back from the clinic. I had another U/S (which shows there could be the possibility of another 2 follicles maturing in time for the ER). But with my B/W, they made the decision to have me keep stimming another day. I go in again tomorrow and do the U/S and B/W again...and then find out if I can trigger tommorrow or not. I'm am feeling better today , since finding out on Monday that our follicles were not responding as we had hoped. I am trying to focus on the idea that "my baby" is in one of the 6-8 follies, and the rest are just the icing on the cake. I am still chanting "it only takes one, it only takes one."

Hi Ladies, I was wondering if I could join this thread. I did my cycle in May and just got my BFP today!!! Would love to join in and have others to talk/share info with!!

[PA_FA]

Of course you can join in Kamile! Everyone is welcome! I am right behind you. My ET was 7 days ago....actually right now. I just looked at the clock and realized that a week ago they were putting in 3 little dreams. I have to wait till Monday for my beta. It is torture. Lucky for me I seem to be tired all of the time. I have been sleeping 10 hours at night and napping 3 hrs during the day. Maybe that's a good sign. Anyhow, I am glad you got such a high beta. (I read your other thread) When do you go back in for your second beta?

[Kamaile]

PA_FA, my next beta is friday! good luck to you on monday! hope its great news for both of us!

[bei]

Kamaile - hi first congrats on ur BFP, how is everything going hopefully u r on top the world right nowand enjoying ur news , i m happy for u and i just wanna know did u had any symptoms while u on ur 2ww let us know ur expriance

i m on 2ed day of my 2ww and its driving me crazy

[Kamaile]

Hi Bei! thank you and yes, I am happy!!!! Still need to get my next beta on friday and hope the number doubles like it should....in the beginning of my 2 ww, I had cramping. also my breasts were tender and sore (probably from the progesterone)...towards the end of my 2 ww (Id day the last 2 days or so), Ive felt very nauseas and motion sickness....i have POAS a couple times and it came back positive so I kind of thought i was pregnant before i went for my beta this morning. But I didnt expect the number to come back so high! I transferred 2 embies.....wondering if the both took? Will keep you all posted!

[Kamaile]

Oh and yes Bei, i know what you mean about going crazy on 2 ww! I felt like that too! Main thing i did was just try to take it easy, didnt do anything strenuous....also try to keep your mind busy so you wont think about how slow the time is going by lol....good luck to you! Hope you get your BFP!!!!!!!

[kitty_mom]

Hello ladies
How is everyone doing tonight?

Purple-How are you feeling? I'm doing good thanks for asking!

BabyRN-You are too funny with you Behind the Back Betas! I'd be doing the exact same as you if I could.

Bril-I'm hanging in there. One week from today and I'll have my 1st Beta #. Best of luck to you tomorrow I'll be thinking of you. Let us know how it goes.

Bei-I have no symptoms, do you? Last time I didn't feel anything until 2 days before my 1st Beta and then again that could have been from the progesterone. How are you coping with the 2WW? Thank God I've had so many distractions this week to keep my mind occupied with other things.

Lisacb-Keep chanting!!!! It does only take one Hang in there.

Kamaile-Welcome! and congrats on your BFP

Hope everyone has a great night!

[Kamaile]

thank you Kitty for the welcome!!! good luck to you!
