Toobee - That is an awesome beta #. I would think you would have a possible 3 in there. You did transfer 3 blasts, correct? I haven't heard of anything bad with high beta #'s, I will do some researching. I know you are afraid because of your past history. Try your best to put that out of your mind. Find your happy place and tell yourself that you have at least 1 great bean in there. Possibly more then that. I wish you good luck on Friday.

MzTia - Congrats on your ER. Hopefully you are feeling fine. Let us know you fert report.

I'm really in the clouds today! I miss half of the posts that came in. I must say that I totally crashed on the couch.

slfleming~ Thank you so much for your very sweet post!! I am just sorry that you didn't join us sooner. Welcome to our thread and I hope you stay with us a while. Wishing you the best of luck on your beta on Wednesday! I hope you get to POAS real soon. I've never done it either and I thought I would do now also just to see what it looks like. But so far, I'm just happy. Keep in touch with us and let us know about your beta and feel free to write to us anything that's on your mind!

Mztia~ I hope ER went really well, that you're not in too much pain and that all those gorgeous follies of yours are going to fertilize. Rest plenty and you'll be in my thoughts!

Kerpupples~ What symptoms are you having? Symptoms are good, and I'm sure you will have your BFP!

Babyloves, Sueqiwi, Mztia, JJJake, Kerpupples, Amanda~ Thank you all for the good wishes!! I am overwhelmed, happy, grateful to have made it this far!
And grateful to all of you and thankful to be part of this incredibly supportive thread.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Love to all,

Val

Hi Valerie - I'm just popping in to this board to say CONGRATULATIONS with a huge capital C!!!!

I've been posting now and then, but mainly have been reading posts and following your progress! Your PMA and patience has payed off! Even though I don't know you, I am truly happy for you.

I decided to follow your progress since I only have one ovary, too, and soon to be 39. I have had 2 BFP's but chemical, and 2 BFN's, transferring only one embryo at a time (because I have a small uterus, too, and multiples would be bad in me - but this will change next time I think).

It gives me hope to see how things worked out for you!

Congrats again!

HEY LADIES,

TOOBEE- Hey, hey! No I don't know your history but that sounds like a damn good beta. 3 embies......from blast....you could be having triplets. Remember what you told all of us: you have to keep a good PMA for your babies honey. SMILE and wait for the US. Did they seem alarmed or did they give a reason why the early US?

Hey guys I POAS and it was positive. I feel better about going in tommorrow for my Beta #.

Thanks ladies I'ma do personals later

tobee - I'm no expert on Beta numbers, but maybe the girls are right and it's just that it's more than one baby? I know what you mean by scaring yourself by googling everything. I do it all the time and scare myself constantly with all kind of worst case scenarios! As my DH keeps telling me - "one day at a time". Try not to worry to much with all the bad possibilities out there and hope that it's the good ones!

We'll wait for your Friday US for the news! It will be okay! It must be!

Val - SueQiwi said it perfectly. You will be a super mom! It's amazing how you really do look out for everyone out here. You find the words of encouragement for every single poster and make sure you reach out to all the newbies and respond to every post. Your baby (babies?

) will be extremely lucky to have you as a mom. You're an incredibly warm and caring person

I'm going for my scheduled ET tomorrow. Only I don't know whether we want to do an ET. I'm still bloated and in pain (though not as much as I have been the past couple of days). I am terrified of transferring and then ending up in a hospital with severe OHSS. It's already clear that I'm responding stronger than most people and I'm just really scared that with the overstimulated body like it is now ET may cause a lot of problems. So, we're considering freezing. Of course, it will depend on where our four little beanies (I love that term

) will be tomorrow. If there's only one to speak of than it will be a different situation. I just don't know. It's such a tough choice. Do I wait for my body to calm down and do a FET which would definitely not be as cruel to my body? Or do I risk it an go ahead with fresh? What if the embies don't survive the thawing?

To tell you the truth, after what I've gone through this cycle, I'm having a hard time considering a second IVF cycle

. So confused...
Oh well, I'll just wait till tomorrow and we'll where we're at. Hope I can make the right decision...

lynnie - good luck with your ET tomorrow! Hoping your embies will make it to 8 cell!!

TOOBEE I found a website that should help.

www. americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html

They this is a very good website for medical dx. and concerns. It states at 5wks LPM (which you should be close) your levels is estimated at approx. 7,340mIU/ml. It's just a ball park figure (as they do stress within the article) but that may suggest that you are at a good number.

If this doesn't help..... again honey, call your Doctor tommorrow and ask questions.

JJJAke - Congrats on POAS positive...good luck tomorrow

As for me, I POAS as well today and got another BFN! I am not having high hopes for my Beta tomorrow. I just hope I can jump right back in and do a FET this next cycle.

toobee · Post by **toobee** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 12:16 am

OKAY FREAK OUT ALMOST OVER

Thanks guys for letting me freak out

...I do feel better...jeepers I had my panties in a bunch, ya think???

..I wnet through a half a box of Kleenex today and Now I just need to go to bed early and start over again tommorrow. MY baby or babies need my posistive mojo....I will go for a long walk tonight and walk off this bad energy I am harnessing....I imagine we will at least start to see what we might be dealing with on the u/s on Friday. i kno we will most likely not see much but maybe that will answer some questions and concerns.

JJJAKE that link rocks...made me feel allot more normal looking at those ranges considered normal. Maybe I am just a super HCG producer this go around.

hopinginpa · Post by **hopinginpa** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 12:20 am

Val-CONGRATS! So happy for you!

JJake-congrats to you as well! Can't wait to hear that beta! Hopefully Donna does a good job drawing your blood tomorrow!

Turtles- I am so happy for you. Can't wait to hear your next beta.

I have been checking you all out! I am doing better. I am waiting for my beta to drop. I am hoping to start again in Jan.

Good luck to all who have betas tomorrow.

Congrats on the HPT positve..that rocks...!!!!!!!

Kas101 · Post by **Kas101** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 12:43 am

Hey ladies,

Sorry i havent been very active lately but been laying low after the BFN.....

Just wanted you to know i have been following your progress and wanted to say congratulations to JJJake, Val and Toobee!!!!! I guess me and a few others will be bringing up the rear with the BFP's in November, so check in on us from time to time - i love u guys!!!!

I went to my RE today and he said that there was no egg or embryo quality issues, my lining and levels were perfect and he felt sure i would get a bfp as one of my embryos was 'perfect' and he wants to try again with a higher initial follistim dose to produce more eggs which was my only problem, but we are moving soon to the midwest till Feb so i think i will try someone in IL (my RE is megabucks plus flights etc).

I am thinking of you all and sending babydust X X X

To have fun You said you are not happy with your current RE in Illinois??? If you dont mind sharing who are you with?? You can PM me if you feel more comfortable.... I am thinking about the Sher Inst in Peoria. If you have any comments just PM me - i am self pay this cycle and i want to get a BFP so bad .....

lynniecat · Post by **lynniecat** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 1:05 am

JJJake! Congrats on that BFP!

Tobee! I think its VERY healthy twins or triplets. I hope twins as three babies would be hard on the body...not sure your feelings on that! No worries for you, things sound wonderful!

valerie68 · Post by **valerie68** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 1:15 am

What an incredibly busy day!! It's wonderful to see.

Toobee~ I just saw what Ghost wrote and I'm glad you're feeling better and relieved!!! Relax, you have good little beanies in there!
Hugs!!

JJJake~ Congrats on your positive HPT!!!! That is so wonderful, and here you were so down in the beginning! No false positive on HPTs ...you are prego. Can't wait to see your number!

Kas~ Don't worry girl, we will follow your progress and cheer you like crazy when you get your BFP!! Your time is coming!

Horsegrl~ I've seen it happen that girls don't get a positive hpt and get a positive beta. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you!! Best of luck and tons of sticky baby dust!

hopinginpa~ I'm glad to see you and know that you're doing better. I hope you get to have a really good cycle in January!

dcu917~ You have touched me so much with your congratulations today...you just made me cry. It is so sweet of you to write a post. Thank you so much!!!!!
When are you going to cycle again? I wish you the best of luck...not too many of us with one ovary, but we have a good chance of getting prego.
Your situation is even more difficult as you have a small uterus.
Wishing you the best of luck and I hope to see your BFP real soon.

misfixit~ Thank you so much for your kind words. I will love to be a Mom as I find children so precious, incredible and such a joy!

I find this forum incredible and I know how much each one of us is going through and encouraging words can really mean such a difference. It's a joy to be able to give some of my PMA to all of you. We all have down days and we all need someone to pick up our spirits. That way we know that we are not alone in this trying journey. As I truly believe in the power of positive thinking, I do believe it can make a difference in somebody's cycle.

Thank you is all I can say...you are all incredible women! We are stronger than you can possibly imagine!

Love and hugs!

Val

JJake, congrates on your HPT you are preggo, I have never heard of a false HPT so now just waiting to see some great betas.

TooBee, Is there 3 lil ones brewing in your belly,hmmmmmm just might be with those betas. I cannot wait to read about your ultra sound. I am very happy for you.

To everyone else waiting on your betas or in 2 week wait. Much happy sticky baby dust to all.

JJAKE - Congrats on the Positve HPT!!! Another BFP!!

Hrsegrl - I know what you are going thru. I POAS everyday hoping it would change. Finally when I was still getting a BFN the day before my beta, I pretty much gave up. Told DH that this cycle did not work. I think what helps most is figuring out the next step. It is good that you are thinking about your FET. Congrats on having some frozen guys. You can still get a BFP tomorrow so I am still keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good Luck.

TooBee - Glad you are feeling better.

Hopingin4amiracle - Good Luck tomorrow.

Msfixit - Good luck on ET. If you really feel that your body is not up to it I would consider freezing but of course that is all up to you.

Have a good evening,
Chris
