We are PREGNANT!

I am concerned though because ive been looking at yalls firsts beta numbers. Mine is only 68 . He said that was fine and didnt sound concerned. I will have it rechecked on Monday.

Woohoo!


Kelly - Thank you!

[txcplforivf]

[lou71]

Txc - Yay, congrats! Your number is fine. It's the increase that's important.

Andrea- Welcome! You and I are at the same clinic. I grew up near Gurnee and now live about 45 mins away. Best of luck to you.

Kat- I was on Lupron, I dont remember being that moody, but I think everyone is different ... I remember getting bad headaches from it...

Samantha/Andrea- Welcome, this is a great board with tons of great women to help you get through the journey

Moorebaby- Glad you are checking in April will be here before you know it

Margi- thinking of you (huge hugs)

Riogirl- I have to call my RE I am not sure if I am starting 21 days after A/F in Jan or Feb... We are going around my sisters wedding schedule cause last time I got the OHSS so I wanted to make sure I didnt bloat in my dress lol... and I am also trying to figure out the estimated ER and ET cause my work wont let me have the 1st ten days of the month off, and this time I want to take a few days off after ET... If I do the math right it will probably be early Feb

Kildean23- Awesome beta

Bakersbaby- Good Luck tomorrow

Ginger- so excited for you...

txcp - CONGRATULATIONS! My first beta with my son was 67! How many days past ER are you? The important thing is that it grows consistently, don't pay attention to whether it is high or not, that means nothing. Some high betas go on to not become pregnancies and some low betas go on to become healthy babies so please don't worry and enjoy being pregnant!!!!!!!!!!

Margi - I am thinking of you and hoping that you are able to enjoy your vacation, I blabbed on in emails so don't bother with them until you come back to the real world! I agree that your clinic should have given you a beta anyway...

Leora - Greece - how romantic, I am so happy - you and DH need the relaxation and time away! Might be the last time you guys do get to travel alone! Thank you for the info on CLIMB!

kynlee How come your work won't let you take time off in the first 10 days? Humm lots of scheduling. Yes, I read somewhere they can give you a pill during your cycle to try and avoid OHSS, that sure is no fun!

Lou - glad to see that I have a fellow DHEA pusher here!!!! I am not one to try things like that but I swear by it now! I sent you Loooong email, if you have questions let me know!

Andrea- welcome! Florida to Wisconsin - wow! Quite the temp change there! We have male issues too, great AFC! This board is full of great info on IVF, ask away!

Hope Judging from your pics you were a gorgeous bride, puffy eyes or not! You will get your miracle!!! Come on AF!!!

Bakers - super baby dust for tomorrow! BFP dust vibes everything, covering you in super baby dust!

Ester Good to see you back! I do swear by DHEA!

nwquiz - I used Freedom too and really liked them! How are you doing?

I told you girls that you couldn't get rid of me, I want to see everyone get their BFP! Dusting everyone with super baby dust!

[HopeIsAllIHave]

Okay, I know this may sound silly, but I was able to read my body signals correctly! I noticed a change in my CM exactly 14 days ago, and thought, hmm, did I just ovulate? (I have never been able to figure this out on my own before since my cycles are so irregular) I guess I'll find out on the 29th.. and sure enough, it's here! AF is here! I'm that much closer to starting my meds now and on my way to becoming pregnant! Just called my case manager and left a message to find out what the next step is. Blood test? Start BCP's tomorrow? Let the action begin! Going into this with high hopes *crossing fingers*

[txcplforivf]

Thanks everyone!

Rio- thanks for the info about the beta number. i am a lil concerned about it. I am 14 days post ER

There is quite a range on this beta base, again as long as it rises with up to 72 hours doubling time you should be fine!

Oh, that's cool! That would be funny if we ran into each other sometime. LOL Thank you!

[CJinNC]

txcp... congrats!

Wow... lots of excitement. I love seeing so many bfps... I can live vicariously through all of you! Can I tag along for an u/s too? LOL

BTW, what does PMA mean? I was looking for an abbreviation page, but didn't see one. I know most of them, but that one I couldn't figure out.

Hello All!!!

Sorry I have been MIA from posting, but I read frequently!. Many of you might remember me from the Fall group. We had our first IVF w/icsi that ended in a chemical pregnancy. My DH and I decided to take it easy and that we were going to meet again with our Dr. mid January to start another fresh cycle.

We have been trying for over 4 years and the doctors said it is unexplained infertility. To make a long story short, my period came on Nov 30 after I stopped the PIO's and I haven't seen my period again! ... Last night I knew my period was late so I POAS. And to my surprise there it was!!!!... that other second line that we have been looking for!..... I thought it was a dream when I woke up this morning,so we did it again and I got the two lines again! OMG!!!!... We are still in shock!.. We got it the old fashion way!....I still can't believe it so I'm going to find out where can I get a Beta TODAY!!!... I can't wait!

I guess Santa read my letter and decided that I had been a good girl this year!.....

To all who got BFN.... I'm really sorry, I know what you are going through and you have an excellent support group here. Wishing you the best and keep trying!

To all who got a BFP.... Congratulations!...

I'm in denial!!... I will have to see it to believe it!....

[Sweetpea614]

Samantha and Andrea - Welcome

Margi- I'm so sorry.

Ginger- Congrats on your BFP. I agree don't worry about that number.

Kelly- Good luck today. Fingers crossed. The fertility meds have never effected me before and when I did the Lupron cyce a few years ago I don't remember it doing this to me. I feel just lousy and praying it's just bad PMS and will pass after she arrives.

Kildean23- That's a great number Jnauary 6 will be here before you know it.

Kat

[DandMe]

Sorry to crash... I've been stalking the board, praying for my cycle buddies and quietly mourning and rejoicing with you all...

Just realized I have three and a half boxes of Bravelle that I most likely won't be needing... PM me for information.

[justsolost]

Karian--oh my goodness!!! Congrats!!! That's so awesome!!!!
