Looking for November Cycle Buddies

[Deedle101]

Thanks girls for you kind words. I will try again, but maybe go back to IUI since I only tried it once and it's cheaper! Also I can't deal with the pressure or anymore disappointment this year, so I will start again in Jan.
I am glad I POAS this round, I prepared myself for my AF to come or a negative beta! At first I thought it was a bad idea but today I'm okay with it all. Don't get me wrong it sucks but oh well.
SD I'll pray for good news for you today!
Thanks again everyone, I'll be stocking the forum for all the rest of your BFP!!!

SD: You have all my thoughts and prayers today for your beta. I really hope that you get some terrific news.

Mellow: Today is your day!! Yipeee....I will be stalking frequently during the day to get your results as well....do you know what time to expect their call?

Ladybug. My dear. You have taken over as Mayor for certain. Even in my craziness, I didn't try to get a beta at 11dpo. Repeat after me: We are helpless to our addiction. We are powerless. We are friggin nuts. LOL. I am trying to make you smile, because these last few days are making me nuts in a sad way. But we must hold onto some hope. You have until Friday for your "proper" beta? Right? Still several days.

AFM: I am trying so hard to think positively, but my thoughts are drifting towards how to make this next cycle different. This will be the end of our meds supply, so it may be our last shot. I am wanting to ask the doc to be "more aggressive" with stims. Pull out the big guns. But, one step at a time, right? Gotta make it to Thursday first...

SD - sending you big beta doubling vibes! I am sorry you have to deal with the news at work, argh, nothing worse than putting up a front. But hopefully all you will have to try and hide is a huge smile, I am here cheering your little bean on! If you want to try and hide your tears of joy say allergies - always works for me! I will be checking in!

mellow - Super healthy beta vibe! I am so excited for you and I can't wait to hear the number, twins maybe? WOOOOHOOOOOOO! No US for 3 weeks? That is torture!

Blair - I am glad I am not the only one with crazy vivid dreams and yes time could not go by any slower, this other 2WW stinks too! That is so cool that you go see your friend and IVF baby, I am happy she got her miracle! That's good baby karma for your US! Do you think you have twins in there? How far along will you be on the day of your US?

ladybug What does IM stand for? I think it is still early and your beta will be coming up shortly. You are certainly in crazytown! Too funny about the reststop!

Deedee - thank you for staying here to cheer us along, Praying for your BFP from your IUI in Jan!

Margi - keep the PMA! You are like me planning the next cycle already when you don't even know the answer! Keep visualizing that baby in there getting all cozy! Praying for your BFP!

AFM the waiting is killing me, I went to betabase.info and my betas are a little high for singletons and a little low for twins so I really don't have any idea what I got in there! The days are drraaaagggggiiiinnnnnng by! I can't wait to see a healthy bean, unfortunately I will be too early for a heartbeat, I will be 5weeks and 5 days. Praying so hard for a healthy baby!

Rio- Yea this wait is horrible...but I dont think its near as bad as the first 2ww. My friend who had her IVF miracle gave me the bracelet she wore her entire IVF cycle (starting with meds and ending with baby delivery day) and I have been wearing it since the day I started Lupron. As for my US on Friday I believe I will be 6wk2d so its still a little early for us too. I have read that the heart has started to for by then but Im not sure whether we would see it or not. Im just hoping they dont make me wait too long for the next US because I really want to have another one before christmas so I feel a little better telling our family. I am in the same boat as you...higher #s for single, and lower #s for twins so who knows. Im ok with either.

IKR She called me in TEARS she said she's been on the internet night and day and all she's seen says that if we haven't had a BFP by now we are pretty much out of game, I had to talk her off the ledge, but I didn't really know what to say. It was really hard. I am not sure what to do if it really is a neg beta. I still have hope and a PMA but she is really freaking out.
Any Ideas??

[ladybugg1999]

Sorry IM is surrogate speak for Intended Mother

[margi26]

Ladybug...it is so hard. But, it is true, tell her, there have been women on this site, who have had negative HPT the days before, even the night before beta and still gotten positive betas. And viable pregnancies. I worry that the beta will be low and I will be in beta hell, but that isn't necessarily the case. I, myself, am trying to remind myself of those facts. Obviously, all of us POAS addicts would prefer to see ++++ on HPTs, but it isn't always the case. Remind her it isn't over until Friday and that she needs to try to think positively/pray/meditate/visualize--whatever is the most comfortable and comforting for her until you really know.

Why couldn't this be easier?

[ladybugg1999]

@ Margi...you are right, I have even seen where women have had pos betas and still BFN on HPT!!
i feel so bad for even poas, It was fun when it was uper early and you expected a BFN but the closer you get you reallly get down when it's not a BFP....

[Kyleen81]

Hi ladies,
Touching base. Had bloods this morning 4 positives from POAS. Tmi for all since this morning I have had minimal brown discharge only when I wipe. So I'm very worried. Any advice?

[riogirl71]

Ladybugg - If you are 11dpo then according to this:

DPO
9 Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
10 Morula is completely implanted in the lining and has placenta cells & fetal cells
11 Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood today!
12 More HCG is produced as fetus develops
13 More HCG is produced as fetus develops
14 HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT

You could have just missed the HCG window with your beta. I got a positive HPT at 11dpo but that is way early, on a previous pregnancy I did not get a + HPT until after my beta. So it really can go both ways, it could be a little late implanter or for some reason you are just not peeing much HCG. It just entered your system. Your beta Friday should be your best bet, sorry it is hard to wait but those HPTs are wrong all the time.

Margi - Same as above you might not be peeing enough HCG which does not mean at all that you would have a low beta! Beta in blood and urine are two different things and we secreet the mdifferently!

Okay this day totally sucks it up for me. The lab had issues so they didn't get my beta run from yesterdays draw...Stupid!! So I won't get the results until tomorrow afternoon, after my second beta draw. I went to be with a headache, and woke up with a freaking migraine and hugged the toilet all day. What a crappy birthday. On the other hand...being pregnant is a plus. Just wish I knew how pregnant I am. What a crappy wait. Crap...that's the word of the day.

[Kyleen81]

Hinall,

Just spoke with the FS and they said my level is 15 so it looks like it won't last and my progesterone is low. So now I wait for AF

[mellow4]

I'm sorry Kyleen. My heart hurts for you. Let us know what we can do to help, if anything. We are here for you.

[Kyleen81]

Thanks mellow, I'll just keep trying again.
At least it means I can fall pregnant this way and its just waiting the right baby?

[mellow4]

Yes, Kyleen...it's good news that you got pregnant. Chemicals have a silver lining. Will be praying that next time work for you. Hang in there.
