Beta Results

KayCe - BFP!

[CT_Michele]

Good morning everyone!

There is a lot going on here today, what an exciting monday on this thread. I will be so excited to get home from tutoring later and read everyone's update and do lots of updating on our list.

Kayce- I am waiting to hear your fantastic beta number!

Babies- good luck at ER, hope they get lots of eggies for you

Our cycle twins (dogz and beth)- lots of sticky dust coming your way, here's to smooth transfers. It is so weird you guys are same exact schedule, even time. You will be sitting there thinking that someone else in the world is going through the same exact thing at the same exact time, very cool.

butterfly- I think a beta blood test is the norm, but lots of people will be told to just do a home pregnancy test. Most beta tests happen 2 weeks after ER, so they are usually 9-11 days after the actual transfer. If you go for a pee test 2 weeks after transfer, it will be accurate by then. If you would like to be added to our list, just tell me your dates again, like stim date, expected ER and ET date.

cressica- I am so sorry to hear about your grandma. I don't even know hwo you have the energy to be on here posting to us. Take care of yourself through this tough time and your family is in my thoughts.

cheekyone- I am from Connecticut, hence the "CT" in CT_Michele. I do find it amazing that there are people from all over the world here, amazing. Try to stay calm during these 2 weeks...when is your beta test?

annisabug- congrats on starting stims. Where is "upstate" NY are you from? My brother lives in Rochester, even though I call that upstate, I guess it is more western than anything else. That is where I just went for the wedding, and I drive there usually at least 2 times per year...I hate that drive.

ok, back to tutoring today, so I will be running around a bit since I see both clients today. I am glad that the one I have to commute for and see 4 times a week will end in 2 weeks. Then it will be august and I can relax and focus on a beautiful transfer...and fun b-day party for Ella! I will check in for all the updates later.

[dogzrule]

cheekyone - I was raised in Texas but have lived in California for 10 years. About to join you in the 2ww!

beth - thinking of and praying for you, my identical cycle twin!

KayCe - can't wait to hear your results today! You must be going CRAZY!

cressicaw - I'm so sorry about your grannie. (((hugs)))

gi - glad your weekend was full of activity!

[sunnygirl27]

annissabug- i think we may be around the same time! i started stims 7/16 but they expect that i might go for the ER earlier than later.

dogzrule & beth84 - love your sense of humor! sticky thoughts for you both and best wishes today! relax!

cheekyone- best of luck with the 2ww...that must feel like forever! Oh, yeah, as you saw I'm from Vermont.

gi- it looks like you have been through this process before but you have managed to stay very positive...thank you for that. PMA is the best medicine!

babiesgalore- best of luck on the ER today...i hope you are blessed with many!

cressicaw- so sorry to hear about your GM! i would think that would make this so much more stressful. hang in there. also, wanted to tell you we are on for ICSI too!

butterfly78 & Pathfinder- i'm on day 5 and i feel like i am an old pro at the injections now...it get easier. good question about the BETA butterfly, i was wondering that too!

KayCe- what happened????? we all want to know!!!!!

Enjoy a sticky, sticky, baby dust kind of day!

-sunny

[butterfly78]

If you would like to be added to our list, just tell me your dates again, like stim date, expected ER and ET date.

Stim start date - 7/18
Expected ER - week of 7/27 (they told me 8 - 12 days of stims + 1.5 days for ovidrel)
Expected ET - TBD

I'll know more after my monitoring visit on Wednesday.

[beth84]

Oops - I need to read ahead before posting.

Glad all are well, and dogzrule - I'll be keeping all my fingers crossed for you!

[dogzrule]

woooooooohoooooooooo my doctor just called with GREAT news. We have one SUPER FANTASTIC (to use his words) embie and 2 other great ones, with another one or two almost to blast. They are going to put in the super duper one and the 2nd best one and freeze the rest. I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I could not have expected such wonderful embie news this morning YAY!!!!

[lw918]

CT_michele: My ER will be Wednesday the 22 (two days!!) If you'd like to post that.

DOGZ That is FANTASTIC NEWS!!! Congrats!!!
Sticky thoughts

Waiting anxiously to hear from everyone with procedures/checkups today!

WELCOME! To all the newbies!

Had my check up today and they foudn a polyp on my cervix! I was so upset because the tech said she thought it may effect the transfer when they do it! I called the dr and the nurse said she didn't believe they would do anything about it and that since it wasn't covering the cervix it shouldn't cause a problem. If I don't have a successful pregnancy they will look into having it removed, but don't want to mess with it at this point in the game!
Other than that she said I was "more than ready!" My follicles are so big and ovaries are so swollen they are touching one another!!!
E2 Was really high so they held off on daily follistem.
Waiting for the nruse to talk to the dr and call back with definate plans, but trigger should be tonight with ER on wednesday!!!

[BabiesGalore]

Just a quick update as still a bit groggy. They got 11 eggs!!! Still less than last time but I only need one!

Good luck dogz, Beth and kayce! Will post to all when I wake up!!!! Baby dust all!

[jamie3777]

I had my check today....I have been on Micro IVF with very low doses of Bravelle. I was on day 6 yesterday taking my last dose. I went for my ultrasound which showed 4 follicles sizes 9,11,11& 16mm...the dr said he didnt kow forsure wheather the 2 at 11mm would catch up? My e2 was 121?? ANy advice or good vibes?? He put me back on 75iu of Bravelle for today and tomorrow and then another ultrasound on WED.

[katie99]

Hi ladies!

Kayce - any news yet? Its always the phone call that you want the most that takes the longest to come

lw918 - yay! trigger! you must be soooo ready to be done with this part already!

Sunny - Yeah, I know all about being 100% out of pocket
81mg of aspirin daily works as a blood thinner since stimming puts you at risk for hemoconcentration. Do you mean its not part of your protocol? I just assumed it was a standard thing. It starts 10 days prior to stims & continues til your beta

Anissabug - Do you enjoy the loooong drive to RE's office while its still dark out as much as I do? So much fun.

Butterfly - Welcome! I was a little nauseous while stimming too.

Cheeky / beth /dogz -YAY PUPO!!!

gi - I agree with you, with all the 1st timers I feel like an vet also lol

cressica - Sorry to hear about your granny.

babies - 11 eggies!!! so happy for you!! waiting to hear how many fert!

Michele - Its a good thing that your schedule is so busy now - it will make August get here quicker Glad to hear that you're feeling better

HUGS & STICKY BABYDUST!!!

[KayCe]

It's a BFP for me!!! OMG it's crazy but I still can't believe it!!! WE MADE IT!!! Yeah!!! Beta 14dpo 86, the nurse said they were expecting something between 50 and 100. So I guess we are OK. OMG, OMG, OMG. I still can't believe it!!! Im pregnant!!!!

Big hugs to all and tons of sticky dust!!!!

[Iamhopeful]

Hi KayCe:
Your first board congrats from a newbie! What an inspiration!

CONGRATS!

[cheekyone]

oh kayce kayce welldone hun oh i am so so happy for you now it's time to relax heaps and let it all sink in fantabulous news

[BabiesGalore]

Kayce - yeah our first BFP on this board. Hope this is a sign of good things for all the rest of us. I am so happy for you. Lots of hugs to you. I have a big happy smile on my face right now!

Katie99 - thanks! waiting to hear from my RE tomorrow. hope they get quite a few of them!

Jamie - lots of PMA for you. having one at 16 on 6th day is good. am sure the others will catch. Hang in there and your E2 will rise also.

Lw - yeah. u trigger tonight. I bet u can't wait for the ER. Sending u lots of vibes for plenty of mature eggies!

Dogz and Beth - how are u IVF twins doing? how many did u transfer? get loads of rest and sending u both lots of stickie dust u're wait. Stick embies stick! Are u girls going to stay in bed for 3 days. I never know what to do. With my FET i only stayed in bed for 24 hrs and then took it easy for the other 2 days but did not go to work! Get lots of pampering.

Sunny - thanks! How are the stims going? before u know it u will be getting the trigger shot!

Michele - glad that u have enough to do to get u're mind off all of this. before u know it august is going to roll around! good luck with ella's b'day party planning. post some pics of your cutie from the party!

Cheeky - how is the 2ww going? i find that time the hardest of all and u end up analyzing each and every symton. I am from the Seychelles Island - 3rd generation there from India but have been in the states for over 15 years now. Live in washington dc now.

Annisabug - yeah for the stims! how is it going?

to everyone else i may have missed lots of PMA. back to lying down now. getting some cramps but trying to avoid reaching out for the vicodin!
