FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

[crissylove]

Wow! This is exciting. 4 fo 4. Really it's incredible. Let the luck streak continue.

Bliss we're all keeping our fingers crossed for you next week. Enjoy the time off. You've certainly earned it.

LYD10- I just knew deep dwn in my heart things would be good for you. Last night I was surfing the web about Beta#'s and came across a thread of women who had betas that were low. (like below 40) A vast majority of them went on to see their #'s come up, and went on to have very healthy pregnancies an babies. The underlying theme on many of the threads was that it's more important that the numbers double every couple of days, not so much where they start off. They also said anything above 5 is what docs are looking for to consider a pregnancy. Also, remember you weren't feeling any symptoms a few days ago, so if you had a late implantation #'s can be low. YOU ARE PREGNANT!!
Here's a link for you : http://www.ivfconnections.com/forums/co ... -and-Facts

LYD- Here's a post from another thread I found...


"I just wanted to reassure you by posting my first beta numbers. My first beta was only 14.8. I know exactly how you are feeling. I remember being so nervous and I wouldn't even let myself get excited because I didn't want to be disappointed. The nurses would always tell me that each woman can respond differently and that there is no perfect beta number. That the only thing that matters is that the numbers double in 24 hours.

Just wanted to let you know that low numbers can result to a normal pregnancy. I just had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday and my baby was doing great and very healthy. Good luck to you and congratulations!"

LYD- That is great news! Congrats on joining our fast growing "pregnancy club"!

Indigo- Here's hoping you are next to join the club!

Bliss- I'm really jealous of your 10 days off. Although I can't complain too much; after work tonight I don't have to go back until next thursday. Have fun and relax!!

AFM- Just got my fertilization report- 3 eggs, and 2 fertilized! Yay! That's a 100% increase over last time (not to mention much better quality eggs to start with)! I still have a very good feeling about this cycle. I just feel like it's my time. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for my 2 little embies. ET scheduled for 9:30 am on tuesday.

cwhers - congrats on the good fert report. FX'd for those embies to keep on growing.

Crissylove, LYD10 & trying4second- Wooohoooo !!!! Congratulations. This is the lucky thread. I should hold my head up like you said. Send loads of baby dust our way. Next 2 is Indingo and I.I am excited for you. i cant wait to get to mine. Thanks for the prayers. This is just getting better and better.

Idigo - I hope you are holding up with the wait better than me. Are your still going to POAS today. I dicided not to since I already have 2 negative. I will just wait for Beta Wednesday.

Wehavehope & jmbella - Welcome to the thread, You have joined the lucky thread. All positive soooo far. Goodluck

Blair, Cwehrs & Tohavefun - You are right. I guess the hormones playing with my head too. I pray this round be the lucky round for all of us. It isnt easy looking at the BFN stick month after month. But their is a first time for every thing and this is the time. Thanks for the support.

Kayleen - I love your positive attitude and wish I could be a bit like you.

Cwehrs - Congrats on the ER. It the the quality not the quantity.All the two embies will make you babies. Smiles

AFM - I am holding up strong. Thanks to you all. Infact HD hid all the HPT so I wouldn't stress him till Beta. Like I can't get more.....lol. Anyway I plan to wait till beta since it just adds to the 2ww stress. Absolutely no symptoms at the moment.

Anyone knows if I can take long walks? Also anyone else on 6mg progynova and 800mg cyclogest a day after FET? and are you getting symptoms?

Good luck all

Hi all,

I was going to POAS today but I had to drive my niece to catch her train at 6:20 this morning. If I do it I want to use first morning urine and I didn't want to fall apart driving her. And I can't tomorrow or Saturday because I'm working in the morning and don't want to be a mess at work. So I may Monday morning but something is telling me to wait for beta day on Tuesday. I'll probably POAS first thing in the morning so that I'm prepared for the phone call.

As for symptoms, still cramping, feeling a little bloated, and had acupuncture today and I was soooooooo sensitive. Usually it's nothing getting the needles put in but today I was almost jumping off of the table. And I bruised which I never do. Could this be a good sign? My acupuncturist told me it could be a goo sign but it could also be the progesterone. Argh!!!

Does anyone else find it extremely difficult to be productive during the 2ww? Anyone have any good tips. I find I can't think of anything else but this.

Congrats everyone on all of the great betas! Let's hope zdia an I can keep the streak going!!!

[indigofire]

Cwhers - CONGRATS on 2 beautiful embies!!! I feel it for you too! It's your time! Grow embies grow!!!

[blairwh58]

cwehrs- 2/3 is great!!! And like you said it much better so you should be beyond thrilled.

Indigofire- I cant believe you’ve managed to hold out this long without POAS. You must have tons of will power. Hope you get to continue the BFP streak we have going!!

Zdia- Im glad DH hid them from you so they weren’t so tempting….but like you said the store isn’t far so you could always pick up more. Im sure you will get your BFP soon.

To_have_fun- Im so anxious for you to see how the ER goes tomorrow. You have to keep us posted. Good luck!!!

LYD10- Beta doubling vibes headed you way. I think this is a very positive cycle and hope you go in Monday for a stronger number to prove that little one is sticking in there.
Blissful-

Indigo-I've been doing acupuncture throughout and I had a session at the beginning of my 2ww. When I was needled on the progesterone spot I was extremely sore. My guy said that was a good sign.
