Hi Dnapasin-
Man, after reading your thread I'm totally on pins and needles to see what the outcome is! If ET was Apr 30, i'm assuming we'll hear something from you sometime next week. I have my fingers crossed!
And Hope-
You must be ready to deliver any minute now. We want pics!

Don - we are eager to find out how it went - when is your test date?? Will DW test early? Personally, I couldn't wait - my clinic waits 18 days and since my 18th fell on Sunday, I had to wait until Monday... but I had already POAS'd by the previous Tuesday!
Not hopeless - No, I'm not ready to deliver any time soon!! I'm on 9w3d! My due date is Dec 3. But I did have my first OB yesterday - no more RE!! - and it was good. Got to do another U/S and baby is growing ahead of schedule - 9w5d at 9w2d, but I'm attributing that to my DH being 6'3"- and since he is convinced that it's a boy (I have 3 stepsons - he says he only makes boys!) I'm hoping he (or she) will be a tall one. I'm not short, but not super tall either (5'8").. so my guess is he/she will just be long! Where are you in your journey?

Sorry, I must've been reading too many threads... I could've sworn you were at 40 weeks and i was thinking- geez, she must be ready to pop. Well you are early on in the preg, it must be terribly exciting. Do you think you'll find out the sex before birth? Considering dh thinks he only makes boys
As for me, we were doing FSH shots and Ovidrel. We had IUI on 4/28. Will test on 5/12. I'll let everyone know either way!
Well all...just wanted to provide an update. It's been six days since Day 3 transfer. Currently in the process of 2ww.....personally, it's been tough. Just to add, my wife took an hpt this morning which I thought was too early. As she may have expected, it came out negative.......damn!
I have to be honest that at this very moment I'm feeling quite pessimistic, discouraged, sad, frustrated and very angry. First discouraging factor was when we found out only 2 out of the 9 eggs retrieved fertilized. Second discouraging factor was the fact that 1 of the 2 embies transferred remained at 2 cells on Day 3 transfer and had a slight chance of continued development. Leaving us with only one embryo (7 cells) to be the only likely candidate to progress.
I know it's still a bit early, but the current odds are now stacked up against us, I feel. Both my wife and I checked out well in preliminary test prior to IVF process. It's unfortunate.....we had high expectation sand hopes only to find out to experience the opposite taking place. Of course, many others have experienced, but emotions really run high and hit home when you're actually in the helm of it all.
Anyhow, I know it's a bit early to determine final results. May 13th is BETA test day.....We'll find out then what the result will be........

well i'm totally in dismay... AF arrived nearly 4 days early & heavy... which never happens to me. I'm so regular and moderate. I'm in shock. I'm calling the clinic this morning & hopefully will do injections again this month.
But then we're having houseguests for a month starting in June, followed by a vacation in Aug. So I'm serious, if it doesn't work in May I'm taking a breather til the Fall.
Thanks for all good thoughts. I try to stay positive and just take this rollercoaster (which we've been on for nearly 4 years) one step at a time. I'll keep you posted.
sorry to hear about your arrival. I did a FET on April 15th and received a confirmed pregnancy on April 24th. My levels have been going up as follows.
April 24th - 38
April 28th - 291
April 30th - 778
May 5th - 3567
My next blood work to follow on May 12th. I am at work today and work in the medical imaging department at a hospital and asked one of my tech's if he could do a quick ultrasound to confirm what is going on in there as I am not scheduled for an ultrasound until May 21st and was having a hard time waiting. He said there was a heart beat but not as fast as it should be and there is a possibility of misscarriage. Not sure whether I should worry or not. I have not had any bleeding or symptoms of misscarriage but I am a little worried about the slow heartbeat. My doctor told me my levels are increasing as they should be but I am still concerned. Anybody have any advice?
hi there...so I went for my bloodwork this morning and it came back 17096. Feeling alot better about things again. Don't go for my ultrasound until next wednesday. Have you found out when you are starting again?
I do have an update I'd like to share. To cut to the chase, this past Friday (5/9), my wife started spotting. It was a brownish color initially. Then later that day when she urinated, noticed a clear jelly looking substance with some blood clots floating in the toilet. We're not sure what it was, but we hope it's not worse case scenario. Wife is still spotting mostly brownish and a little reddish/pink one time yesterday. I'd like to think this is implantation bleeding. Although, concerned about what was floating in the toilet on Friday. Is this something to be concerned about? Possible miscarriage maybe or is this something we shouldn't be to concerned about?
In addition, she did take home pregnacy test (First Response Kit) this morning. Supposedly, one line is negative...two lines is a positive result. Well, I saw 2 lines in the window in which one line was lighter than the other. After reading "First Response" doc instructions, this would indicate a positive. But we're still cautious and not getting hopes too high just yet....again, considering what took place this past Friday. I heard you can still get a positive result after a miscarraige. I hope and pray to God this isn't the case.
My wife will be heading into the office tomorrow morning for blood draw. It will be the moment of truth and I'm just hoping for the best.
Hi dnapasin....I'm crossing my fingers for you and your wife. I am hoping that you will find tomorrow when you get the results that she is indeed pregnant. I will be thinking of you both. Please let us know how things turn out!
Hi there sweetmonkey2001. Thanks a bunch for your support and encouragement. I'll certainly send update whether it be for better or for worse in soon upcoming. Take good care and we'll talk soon.
Results were announced to wife and I. Not so good news.....test came out positive but I think the nurse said that hcg levels were low...not sure if that's correct or not. Numbers were given: They expected 100 at this point but right now we're only at 11...again not sure what these numbers mean. Nurse ordered my wife to return to the office Thursday for another blood draw. This will be the final determinant.
Scenarios are: There's something wrong with the pregnancy or late implantation.
Very very disappointed right now......need to take a walk or something.
