Leora!!!!!! Woooo hooooo! I'm so freaking excited for you! Amazing first beta!!!! Don't let yourself thinks it's a little low-I won't allow it! Bask in the glory of your preggo-ness!!!! Now I can't wait for next week!

Margi-can't wait for your fert. report!!!!

[Sweetpea614]

Leora- congratulations you are PREGNANT:) So happy for you!!!

Anton- Congrats on starting AF. I'm still waiting I'm on cycle day 32 (very unusual for me)

Margi- You get your fertilization report today!!

LD10- sorry you had a rough night with your son. Funny how a missed nap really makes them cranky!

Sorry if I missed anyone. work is crazy so don't have much time to post.

AFM- Still haven't started my AF I'm on day 32. I must have ovulated late because I'm like clock work. This is my longest cycle I've ever had in years.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Leorira! (You're the only one I "know" on this thread), thanx for your reassuring response the other day,
Just wanted to congratulate you! Such wonderful news.
I had mild cramps today (8dp3dt), but I guess like you said I can't expect symptoms so soon, can I?! This is my 3d 2WW and the most torturous of them after trying something new this cycle (IMSI) and being afraid to hope too much.
Anyhow, enjoy the great news and reassuring numbers!!!

Leora YAY!!!!! I think 200 is awesome for 16 dpo. Everyone and every pregnancy is different, so I think you are perfectly fine! I was only 78 at 15 dpo and even though it wasn't a keeper, my numbers always looked good, doubled and the sac measured right on time. It all has to do with implantation and this one may have been a day later than your other pregnancies. Either way its EXCITING! You are no longer PUPO you are PP (proven pregnant) LOL!

Anton, congrats on starting the stims! I am doing the vials and injecting as well. I have done the pen before too. I think the advantage of the pen is that the med is more concentrated, so less liquid to inject. I have to do 3x75 vials and it seems like so much to stick in me! LOL

Margi, can't wait to hear the fert report. Enjoy the sun with DH!

LYD... hope your sun is doing better.

Sweetpea... maybe you got lucky this cycle! We can only hope!

nwquiz.. how are you doing? been thinking about you!

AFM... Had my follicle scan this morning and I have 3 at 8-9 on the right side and several on the left that are smaller than 8 - they don't measure if its smaller than 8. So I am feeling alittle better that things are growing in there! The meds are working, because usually on CD8 I would have nothing measureable, so they are moving along. I go back Monday and I am trying to be confident we will have 5 or 6 good sized ones by then. Trying to keep up the PMA!

of course, I couldn't stay away from Dr. Google .... I found this, which I think is fascinating... http://www.squidoo.com/16dpo

It's a study about hCG levels at 16dpo.

What this study found:

25 - 50 hCG at 16dpo -- Four women in this study had hCG levels below 50 at this stage. The researchers concluded that with these levels less than 25% would continue on with their pregnancy with more than 75% miscarrying.

50 - 100 hCG at 16dpo -- Of 16 women, 25% continued on with their pregnancies.

100 - 199 hCG at 16dpo -- Of 27 women with these levels, 73% continued on with their pregnancies.

200 - 299 hCG at 16dpo -- Of 48 women, 96% continued on with their pregnancies

Over 300 hCG -- All 105 women continued on with their pregnancies.

of course, with my missed miscarriage this summer, my level at 17dpo was 350.... so I guess it doesn't mean that much. But with a level of 200 - I have a 96% of continuing with the pregnancy? That's awesome!

Carol- things are looking good. Yay!! Fingers crossed for you.

Definitely not a surprise bfp for me. Would be nice though because we did do lots of baby dancing that week;) I have no symptoms at all though, not even sore boobs and I know had lots of CM 16,17 and spotting on cycle day 18. Very late for me but it was my first cycle after the IVF so maybe that threw it off. My guess is I will get my AF tomorrow or Saturday if that spotting and CM was me ovulating.

Leora- I saw that site too. Pretty interesting!

Quick morning post:

Leora: I am beyond happy for you!!! I am darn near overjoyed, and I am sure that you and David are as well. And such a high strong number!!! I am soooooooooooooooo happy for you!!!




Carol: So happy you have some good follies growing in there!!

Kat: I will keep dancing for ya, although a bit subdued as I am crampy...

Anton: Congratulations on starting stims today!! Isn't it amazing how excited we get about "shooting up"? Others would think we were nuts, but we know that we are just on a mission!!





AFM: Just waiting for fertility report. I have everything crossed, hoping and praying for good news. I am really crampy today...didn't sleep that well. We probably will just lay low today and skip any site-seeing--just waiting for the call. Hope that they call early.

Leorira- Congratulations big mama. you are so pregnant so stop diging up numbers.
Sweatpea- AF dance for you. Oh it might be a surprise BFP to coz they drags could still be in your system at that time. lool that would be good.
CjInNC- You have a nice size growing in there for this time in the cycle. Grow follies grow. Am good. Have had better days. I was thinking of the opposite myself. My BF at work has been acting strange last couple of days. i mean we eat lunch daily together and she has not stopped by to even say hi. So i thought of LOU and what she was going thru and i said hope mine turns out fine like hers. So this morning i went to see her and i still got a cold shoulder but we talked some. maybe i will give her time. But as far as 2ww am so scared it makes not sense. scared to the tought that am having a runny nose and this morning i feel like my stomach is messed up. Fingers crossed when i go to walmart today they have the sticks coz i cant keep waiting.
Margi- Yes i will. take your offer for those sticks. walmart is not stocking them fast enough ot they are going like hot potatoes. And yes your found your lucky star. Am sorry i was so busy for the oscars you know how you have to make contact that i forgot for a minute i has a friend close by. I should have stopped by for icecream social. Oh well you know you were in good hands in CA. so now waiting on the fertility report/
Anton- enjoy shooting up some drugs. grow follies grow.
Tammy- Where are you. At least just say hello and log off.
Rio- how did the cardio go? hope all is well with that queen inside of you.

Margi I am waiting with you for your fert report Let us know as soon as you can and please take care of yourself and drink lots of Gatorade 12 eggs is amazing

[margi26]

I have 10 fertilized!!!! He is very hopeful that we will be able to make it to a 5dt, but will check and see of course what we are looking at at 3d. I am not going to take any chances pushing to 5 day unless we have a LOT of excellent embies.

Thanks for all the support ladies. I couldn't be making it through this journey without you....

Thanks, Anna. Yes, I'm drinking my Gatorade...lol...all will be well. Thanks for checking on me. No real bloating so I think I should be fine. My estogen level came down some yesterday so he isn't too worried about me and OHSS. But, I will be alert and drink my Gatorade in case.
