Hello all! We just completed a FET with a 5B-BB blast and got my BFP Friday! Due date June 13. Awaiting viability ultrasound.

Sept. 25 transferred single 5B-BB blast during unmedicated FET.

Oct. 7, beta hcg 890 and progesterone 95.

If all goes well, we are expecting on June 13th!

I'm hoping to join you here Amp!!! Surely there will be more of us!

Congratulations on your bfp Amp77, praying you get yours too Loveislove.

Got my beta on Thursday at 8dp5dt 108, prog 35. I am so stressed because my obg does not want a second or 3rd beta. She says she will schedule me for u/s in 3 weeks. Mind you I did my procedure out of town and she was aware of what tests and care I will be needing. She says what difference will it make???

Yay finally a due date club for us! My due date is June 10, first ultrasound at 7wks is oct 24. My beta at 13dp5dt was 1189.

I'm feeling alright, although very tired and the odd bout of queasiness.

Congrats ladies on the positive BFPs!!! Hoping to join you in 8 days, 22 hours and 40 mins....but who's counting 

 

Sending you continued sticky vibes!!!

That's frustrating. My clinic only does one beta unless it seems potentially too low to be viable. I guess what your Dr means is that if the beta isn't doubling, there isn't anything they can do anyway but they should be able to accommodate you to give you peace of mind.

[travelingsands]

Praying - I agree with amp. When I had my chemical they ordered a second beta because my number was so low (17!) and sure enough it went down even more two days later. But this time they didn't order a second because the number was a lot better and within their expected range. Your dr must think your numbers are good enough to keep going with all the meds until your ultrasound. If you're still worried, check out betabase.info. The median hcg for your beta day is 87 - so yours is great! Right on target.

My ultrasound will be Nov. 3.  Seems so far away!!!  I see my midwife next week though.  I wanted to call right away to make sure I get the same one I had last time

[travelingsands]

Tatted - congrats!! Good luck on your beta, keep us posted! I'm also on estrogen and progesterone until 10 weeks pregnant (nov 12) and I can't wait to be done. I hate the progesterone, so messy.

Due June 22nd. First Beta 130 and Second Beta 340. First Ultrasound Nov 10th..seems so far.

 

Is anyone doing prenatal yoga or acupuncture ? I am wondering if I should do acupuncture, I did acupuncture before and after IUI, my ND says acupuncture is good during first trimester?

I don't tend to do scheduled activities because I find it hard to get there and I live far from things.  I tried pre-natal yoga from a DVD last time... I am so not flexible and I sucked at it and didn't keep it up.  For acupuncture, I did it before my IVF in 2014 and FET this year but he didn't mention returning for more sessions.  I actually don't really like it, so I won't continue but I am sure both are beneficial if you want to do them  I wish I could do Yoga or something.  I can't even touch my toes lol

[travelingsands]

Binks - I did prenatal yoga during my first pregnancy and I loved it! I started around the end of my first trimester to the end. I think I will do the same this time. I also did acupuncture my first IVF until about halfway through my pregnancy when I felt like I didn't really need it anymore. For me it was mostly anout relaxation and it was getting stressful fitting in acupuncture and drs appts and a full time job! I think acu can really help if you're not feeling well, they can target certain symptoms.

Lol Amp - I'm not great at yoga either but I loved the 'me' time and knowing how to best move during pregnancy.

Welcome TattedMama and Binks!

I am officially in this club. Whoop whoop!
Positive HPT Oct 9 9dp5dt
Beta 303 Oct 9 9dp5dt
Beta 1582 Oct 13 13dp5dt
U/S #1 scheduled for Oct 28th
On Estrace and Progesterone pez till 10 wks
Due June 19, 2016!!
Currently at 4wk 4d!!!

We are over the moon!! So excited but nervous and wanting to be cautious but so hard not to be all in!! It's so early...

The only thing tempering my excitement is a pretty bad case of OHSS. Off work, at home, quite dehydrated, water baby weighs 11lbs, so bloated I look 6 months preggers. But hey it's worth it for my little Embaby!!

Should I be getting excited this early?

Thrilled for all of you ❤💜💙

[Loveislove]

I find acupuncture relaxing. I'm doing a bit with my fertility naturopath to help reverse the OHSS. I plan to do prenatal yoga too... And lots of walking. I used to swim once a week so may try to get back to that.

Oh man I need to get on the list for a midwife!!! Didn't even think of that...

[Binks]

Thank you love, amp, travellingsands!!!

 

Planning to start with accu next week. Saw my RE today. He scheduled my us for Nov 1 instead of 10th Nov. He thinks 10th would be too late.He said HCG numbers look good, but wants to make sure everything is fine in first us as I had alot of scarring on my tubes due to endo. Another 2 weeks wait, seems so far.

[Tattedmama]

Thank you traveling!! My beta was 85!! Second beta on Monday! I can't wait to know if one or both of little ones stuck!

[SweetT]

Hi ya'll!

FET 4 Oct w/ 2 5 day blasts. BFP on HPT 5dp5dt, 340 on beta 13 Oct.

Beta #2 is on Monday, my doc will schedule an ultrasound after he gets the beta results.

Nervous, excited, impatient and tired of PIO shots (my bottom is soooo sore lol).

Hoping the best for everyone!

[Loveislove]

Welcome SweetT and congratulations!! Seems many of us are in the second 2WW for our U/Ss. Can't wait for the waits to end and to be in the clear.

A few of you had 2 embies transferred. Anyone feeling like it's twins??
😄

[amp77]

I just transferred one. My beta is on the high side. I am dreading it being twins. That is the only things I am anxious about right now

[Tattedmama]

I'm really hoping it's twins!! I'm so anxious to find out!! I find out when my first U/S is on Monday!

[ML888]

Hi ladies!! I'm hoping to join you guys if that's ok!! Recognize a few of you from September IVF group
I did a 3 day transfer of 7-cell and 8-cell embies and got a BFP hpt 2 days before my beta. My beta was only 230 at 15dp3dt, but went to 499 by 17dp3dt, so the clinic sounded happy. I'll have my ultrasound on Halloween and am due June 18!!
Because my beta is low I highly doubt that both stuck, but cautiously optimistic that I have one healthy one in there.
I did acupuncture during the IVF process and my acupuncturist hasn't said anything about continuing yet. I definitely want to do yoga at some point.

[Loveislove]

I am wishing for and dreading twins at the same time. Lol!!! Really truly just hoping and praying for one healthy baby out of this ❤

Welcome ML!!! What day was your transfer, was it Sept 25 or 26? Mine was Sept 25 and they gave me EDD of June 19. By my calcs it should be June 18 like you?? Hmmmm. Not that one day matters I guess I'm still overanalyzing everything!

[Loveislove]

My OHSS symptoms finally turned a corner yesterday. Thank goodness. Bloating and pain are down... But now they are concerned about my liver function due to a high ALT # on my latest monitoring blood tests. I'm hoping its nothing. Anyone else get high ALT #s?
