Look for September Cycle Buddies

[gina55]

Got my 3rd beta back, 654 14dp 6dt. Does anyone know if this number is good, we aren't going to be able to do another round of ivf. Just praying for some good news, first U/S next Wednesday.

Gina,
That sounds good to me, but I'm no expert. I did a 3 day transfer and my beta was 781 at 14 dp. There is a website http://www.americanpregnancy.org/during ... evels.html

I'm not sure how far along you are since you did a 6dt. With a 3d, I was considered 4 weeks, so mine was a little above normal (we transfered 2 so there is a possibility of twins). I think though, that your levels sound good. I will keep you in my prayers that it works. We are in the same boat, our insurance is out after this round so we can't try again.

Jersey, good to hear from you again. Glad your beta went up! Can't wait to hear more!

I'm officially 1 week away from my ultrasound! I can't wait!

So its only Thursday night... Sat morning I'll be able to fly home to be with my hubby.
Its hard to eat on the road when your eating pregnancy friendly healthy diet... tonight it all went out the window with some Gino's East in Chicago for deep dish pizza. Scared out of my mind after having to lift my own suitcase into a cab due to lazy cabdriver... i feel fine though.

It's all good. I'm getting more symptoms, feel crampy, feel nauseous a bit here and there and boobs hurt when water even hits them in the shower! I'm happy about all this, I know its wierd.

Welcome new ladies and welcome back old... let's keep the chat going as its so helpful to know there are so many of us going through this together!!!

Beta Levels post 5 day Grade A transfer so far:
10dpt 207 13dpt 589 next one 21dpt ???????????????????????? Cant wait!

Dierdra I've started the countdown clock for you!

Baby steps to us all ladies!!!

[Wanababy]

BFP!!!!!! Beta levels at 750, 11 days past transfer! Holding thumbs for all of us!

[gina55]

Congrats on all of the BFP's, yeah. Deidra thanks for the link, I feel better. Started with the nausea and sore boobs, another good sign.

[deidraj]

Congrats Wanababy! That's great news!

Gina, my nausea is awful! It lasts pretty much all day. Everyone keeps saying that's a good sign of a healthy baby, but I would love to be one of those people that have healthy babies with no nausea. Starting last night, I started having a stabbing pain on my left side of my back near my hip bone. I'm going to call the Dr. tomorrow, but my friends (with experience with this type of pain) seem to think it's my sciatic nerve, which explains it being on one side. We will have to see. I'm saying my prayers that everything is ok with the baby (or babies, we will finally know on Thursday!).

[JerseyTouchDown]

Tomorrow is my next Beta! If all goes well I hope to be getting a date to review by ultrasound shortly thereafter.
We've told my parents and his but have kept it quiet to the rest of the world thus far.. my hubby wants to tell everybody but I'm anxious as its so early.

I hope you are all feeling well. Congrats on the BFPs

Diedra I'll be thinking of you Thursday! hope the pain goes away! Smart to call the dr. to check.

[Wanababy]

Can beta levels be to high? Can the progesterone and oestrogen that i'm taking influence the levels?
Beta levels: first beta 750 11d pt, second beta 3 600 14d pt, third beta today 8 000 16d pt.

Hoping all went well with the scan and beta!

[JerseyTouchDown]

Hi!
Wanababy: There is a lot of info out there on beta #'s the women's #'s will vary... higher beta's can indicate multiple pregancy and/or issues but if your dr. is not worried you shouldn't be. you may just have your self more than one bundle of joy in there!

Diedre, I'm thinking of you today hope all went well!

My first ultrasound is scheduled for 8am tomorrow... Can not wait!

Hugs and Smiles,
JTD

[Wanababy]

Thank you! Enjoy the scan, keeping all my fingers crossed for you! Wish it was me!

[deidraj]

Ultrasound went great. We have one baby growing in there! We got to see the heart beating which made me feel so much better. It's great to see proof that I really am pregnant, I know it's not just in my head. I go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound & then I will be released to my OB/GYN. Hope everything goes good for you tomorrow Jersey.

Glad to hear you levels are so good Wanababy! Your ultrasound will seem like it takes forever to get to, but it's worth it!

[JerseyTouchDown]

Hey we heard a strong heartbeat on Friday, makes it feel real! So excited back in two weeks too!

[gina55]

Hi Ladies,

Last week we saw one little one. Have another ultrasound on Friday. I've been having some cramping and spotting again and am just trying to stay calm. Everyone tells me it can be normal. Of course I'm freaking and and hoping for the best. I hope you are all doing well.

[gina55]

Just got back from the RE, we are having identical twins!! There were two perfect heartbeats this morning!! All of my worrying was for nothing. Was given a due date of 5/31/11. Hope you are all doing well.

[deidraj]

Congrats Gina! So excited for you! I go back Thursday. Just waiting for the next U/S. Still nauseous most of the day. It's awful. The Dr. asked if I wanted anything for it the last time & I said no because I wanted to be strong & just deal with it. I'm over that now, I'm asking at the next appointment for something because I hate feeling like this. I'm already counting down the weeks until I find out what this baby is. I have to wait until January though. I'm officially 8 weeks today. I'm ready to get the first trimester over with as well. I keep trying not to worry, but with all the let downs we've been through, I can't help but have at the back of my mind that something could go wrong. 1 more month & I will be able to breathe easier.
