Hi All,

Elizabeth - I am so sorry that you have a low number, but it is not a negative and that is what you need to focus on. There are lots of other people that have had low numbers and went on to have pregancies, and even multiples. I know that we are all praying for you that your number doubles by Wednesday. Keep the faith -you have come this far!

I finally received my beta numbers late this evening and am very happy to report that I am indeed pregnant - with a beta of 395. I too will go back on Wednesday to see if it doubles. I am so relieved as I had a pretty rough night and didn't sleep much. Not to mention a rough day of waiting, even some more.

Good luck to those who are doing your betas this week and to those who are still waiting out the 2ww. I know its tough but hang in there. I pray that it will be worth it in the end!

Well i dont think its late anymore but I have been POASing and all have been a negative. I actually do it 2x a day once in the morning and once at night. At this point honestly i have lost all my faith. Its been 9dp4dt and no luck. I have been having strong sharp pains on my lower left side which scares me a little. I just want to get this over and done with. I am honestly driving myself nuts hoping and praying i see even a slight faint postive but i dont. Oh wells thank god i have until saturday. I have even decided that if i get a negative that friday night i will not go to my beta test on sat. I have no insurance anyways and another visit is adding $$$ to my debt list. Sorry that i vented but its all true. Everything is coming from the heart!

Oh by the way my breat are leaking... Is this normal? Is the progesterone causing this?

Rosario - You can't get down on it. There is a reason that your doc wants the beta done on 8/23. That's because that is when he/she expects that your HCG will be high enough to be detected. For all you know, you could have late implantation causing the neg. HPT. Please hold out hope and faith for your beta - that is the number that more accurately reflects what is going. You now need to think good thoughts to exude good energy on your emby(ies). Try to stay focused on the prize. I will say some prayers for you ;o)

alimonyi - Those are probably all good signs for you! I pray that your wait doesn't go by too slow and that you have some good news to report at the end of the week!

elizabeth - i am so glad to hear your PMA. Thats the best course of action for your little embies. I know its so hard as I had so many negative and scared thoughts all day as I waited but I forced myself to think positive and to think that it was all going to work out. It will....

Still praying for all of you....

Like most of you I have a ton of books on IVF and infertility and they definitely say resist the urge to test... because beta is the best test.
Last cycle when I was positive my HCG on 12dp5dt was high 90's, so if it doubles about every two days, and most tests detect at 50... you may not show positive on HPTs. You figure it would be about 40 something 10dp5dt maybe... and I too was having twins. Sadly I had m/c later, but once those numbers started... they started climbing. Just food for thought.

I too have not listened to the urge this time and have POAS and am neg... but I keep thinking of what I just wrote. My test is a 50... so I'm not going to test positive still for several days even if I am PG. My beta is Sat so I keep my figures crossed. Things went well this time, no cramping, and I had 3 decent embryos. So hopefully one stuck.

Hi ladies:

Well I had my appt with Dr T this morning, he said I have the best lining he has ever seen on a CD9 then only found 4 measurable follies and some smaller ones. My E2 was 540 which I was told was perfect. I am going back on Friday and am remaining on the same meds until then.

Lets hope that some more show themselves by Friday.

Grow follies Grow

They moved my beta up to tomorrow (9dp5dt) instead of Friday. They are worried with all my bloating and stuff I have ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome so they want to check a bit earlier than planed.

tris22 · Post by **tris22** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 8:17 pm

ALIMOYNI How bad is your bloating?? did you call in tell them you were having problems or what?? can you still be pregnant if you did have ovarian hyperstimulation??

Sorry for all the questions im really really bloated too and a little worried so just wondering...

TrueBeliever · Post by **TrueBeliever** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 9:09 pm

Elizabeth, the beta is low but do not give up hope. We are just looking for it to double... That's what really matters.

Rosario, you could still be pregnant. Go for your beta, blood test are much more sensative than a HPT. I know people who have had negative test and had positive betas.

I had my 2nd beta today and it was 1068, it almost doubled. I still have been in pain since Thursday. but the RE wants to believe it is my ovaries that is causing my pain. She said once pregnant the ovaries can swell even more from the stims injected. I have a 3rd beta scheduled for Saturday. I have been really nervous and have even come to tears from the hormones about what could possibly go wrong. Maybe in a few weeks when I get that first ultrasound I can hopefully feel better.

Hi to you all.

To all those with sad news since my last post - I am gutted for you all.
And to all those with BFP - Wow - go Team August.
Sorry for now personals but I'm a bit self consumed at the moment. I am now 7dp3dt and going insane at quite a great rate of knots! I am swinging from extreme highs of thinking its been a sucess to moments of crazy lows (like when I POAS at 4dp!! Stupid girl! Naturally it was a bfn!)
Anyway, this morning I sneezed and got a blood nose - is that a good sign??? I never get blood noses. My boobs are huge and sore - but is that just caused by the progeterone in the pesseries????

tris22 · Post by **tris22** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 12:08 am

OMG!!!! I just POAS and it was POSITIVE Im only 6days past a 5 day transfer!!!! I did a digital one and it said PREGNANT and I did a regular one and it had a faint 2nd line!!!!! They upd my beta to tomorrow too to check for ovarian hyperstimulation so I guess Ill know a for sure tomorrow!!!

Sounds like me and you are in the same boat. I POAS today and it was also positive. In fact the ovarian hyperstimulation would have gone away about 3 days after ET if we were not pregnant, but now we will have alot of swelling for the whole 1st trimester.

As for my symptoms - I am really swollen/bloated in my abdomen and pressing against my lungs when I lay down. Short of breath if I climb my stairs and general fatigue. They told me to watch my weight daily and drink tons of fluids.

Good luck on the offical beta tomorrow I am sure it will be good

Hi ladies,

I am in better spirits today. I have my beta test tomorrow, and I am not going to get riled up/excited anymore than I already have until I get my results. I do owe all of you a huge thank you for your pma and your support. It truly makes all the difference in the world to know that you care, and understand. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Rosario - You are definitely taking the htps early. My faint positive didn't show up until the day before. I didn't test before that, but considering the faintness of the line, it probably would not have shown up at all and I would have been a wreck. Please give it some time. Also my breasts leaked when I was pregnant with my DD. Stay positive, we are sending you good thoughts.

Truebeliever - Your numbers are so picture perfect. I know the US seems more real than numbers, but you need to enjoy this time. I had a low beta, and I keep telling myself that I want this to be a good and happy time for me...even not knowing the future. You are in a great place so hang in there. Sending you lots of love.

Biddy - A bloody nose is a good sign, and I don't think this can be linked to the drugs. I remember reading something about it on-line where they discussed odd symptoms of pregnancy. Hang in the lady!

Alimoyni - I am glad your beta moved up, but sorry you are so uncomfortable. What led you to ask about ovarian hyperstimulation? I don't think I would have known what to look for. Well I will be thinking of you tomorrow and I hope you get a great beta number.

Much Hope - I hope you end up with more eggs than follies. I have seen that happen on the posts and thought that was a great bonus.

When it all comes down to it you will only need that one super embie to do the trick. Wishing you healthy embies.

Dancingirl76 - I wish I could be as patient as you. I think that POAS seems to cause more grief than benefit sometimes because it is not all conclusive. Thanks for all your valuable insight. I have all my body parts crossed for a great beta on Saturday!

Triss22- Come on Friday! After getting grief from my RE and getting that darn faint line, I would have to say hang in there and get your high beta on Friday if you can. The urge is tremendous, but like so many have said sometimes it causes more questions than answers. Don't listen to me though, listen to your heart...because only you know what matters at this point. Wishing you the best.

fullofhope2 - I want to thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I really feel your concern for all of us. Thank you! You are so right about staying positive,, and providing our embies with a happy home. When is your next beta? You might have already said...sorry.

Everyone else, sorry if I didn't write personals, I am wishing everyone the best, and thanks again for you awesome support!!!

Anyone transferring early in August??
