Karen... OMG, congratulations. I really hope u have a happy and healthy 9 months. Rub your belly for me, for good luck thru my ER/ET. YOu have been so great on keeping us so updated on everyones status. DOnt worry, we will understand if u need a few days off to celebrate with your OH... Just dont leave us just yet.
Amanda... Thank you. I hope it is a BFP for you. Good Luck.
I am going tomorrow 11/14, for my second scan. I hope I hear great news.
I had a question... I noticed on the BetaResults.... there is a number after Beta (ie.. your says beta 341 and Grateful says Beta 88). What exactly does that number stand for? What does it mean?
Thanks... and once again COngratulations.

Lady_J - HCG is a hormone produce when you are pregnant. The beta # is a measure of the HCG in your system. Some people have low #'s some high, kind of just depends on when the eggs implanted. Sometimes when the # is high it might be because there is more then one brewing making more HCG. Usually, RE are looking for a # between 75 and 100. Hope that helps.

hi everyone...thanks again for all the congratulations and well- wishes.. it's awesome to be in my shoes right now.
there's so much action going on with all of us right now- a string of betas, and it seems like many of you stimming gals are getting closer to ER's and celebrations of success!
chris i'm relieved to read that it wasn't a cyst...gina my weight stayed the same thru both IVF cycles i've had, i've had minimal to no sore bbs. waiting- i hope you're PG!! that's neat your re said that. jules - please don't think you're selfish because you've had a success previously- that can be an inspiration to a lot of us...and there are threads for those of us with multiple cycle failures- this thread is about oct/nov/dec cycles and all are welcome
muchhope awesome to hear of you hpt! good omen. kke i'm not sure about the whole ovulating before ER, i guess it's possible- but if you were on any suppressant med (like ganiralex, cetrotide/luveris) they stop that from happening before trigger- (or i think that's true?)
robin- please don't worry about spotting !!! many women say this is good and typical...although of course it's scary- but can be very normal. mrs.cutter- having 3 to transfer is great!- there's a woman on this forum somewhere who only had 1, transferred it, and is now PG! - i got pg last time after only transferring 2- they were all i grew.
ladyj- an initial beta being high is considered good as it's a sign of a well-implanted embryo, and unlikely to be a chemical pregnancy. apparently they prefer it over 100 as it's more strongly correlated with a viable pregnancy (meaning likely you'll see a heartbeat later on u/s)...BUT beyond that initial number- its more important the beta number doubles every 48-72 hours up until 1200 ml. then it should double every 72-96 hours when its' between 1200-6000 ml, after 6000 it should double every 96 hours or more. BUT many women carry to term with a lower start beta- it just all depends. twin pregnancies have higher beta's.. beta hcg is what gives us morning sickness ect.- so twin carriers usually are more sick.
jdc- good luck with that u/s tomorrow- and yes, many of us are slow starters, so it's good to go into the appt with reasonable expectations.
hi kas!! and bell!! - your FET is coming up soon- how exciting NY- how are you? and a few of you i didn't know (or missed) what your upcoming beta dates were for the board -ny, hereiam, julesg, amanda, waiting4
melissa, lovemybaby, excited/michelle, if you're still out there hugs and hello to you.
hi to everyone else i didn't mention.
i'm quite pleased with my OBGYN today- i switched to him after my m/c when i was pissed off at the other lady i'd switched to after the first ob pissed me off! anyways- he gave me my progesterone, set up weekly betas, and u/s at 6,8,10 weeks. he's very nice and seems willing to treat me in the 'high maintenance' way that i feel i am.
love to all,karen
