Congratulations! Best to keep the due date buddies in the due date buddies forum so that you have more people to hang out with.

[Dee1985]

Thank you!

 

Do you know how to switch this into another thread? Or do I have to start another one?

[returnable]

You can try to contact one of the moderators (like Mouse). They should be able to do it. I didn't want you to be all by yourself

[Dee1985]

Thanks. All done.

Hello all! Just got my bfp blood test yesterday (although I took hpts since Monday to confirm and all were positive). Congrats Dee! When would you due date be? Mine is October 11th according to the calculator on here. Did you put in one embryo or two?

[Dee1985]

That's awesome!! Congrats! Is this your first pregnancy?

My due date is October 9th. Only one embryo was transferred. I'm too young for more than that! 

[Kke1988]

Thanks! Wow, our due dates are very close! This isnt second pregnancy after an ectopic in September. I actually am only 30 years old and put 2 in.. just didnt wanna take any chances. Im okay with twins and my husband is a twin so we think its be cool. But we would be equally happy with one:)

Hi all! Just got my BFP today! 9dp5dt hCG is at 413. Im so excited this was my fourth FET after two failures and one chemical, then two ERA cycles. According to this Im due on October 11th.

[Kke1988]

Congrats Redkatierose! Thats a pretty high hcg! Any chance you could be having twins?

[Redkatierose]

We only put in one, I guess its still possible that it split. But I wont know for sure till ultrasound

[Dee1985]

Redkatierose - Congrats!! That's amazing! So happy for you! We have such close due dates too.

Kke1988 - In Québec, we're not allowed to transfer more than one under age 35. I'm 33 in March so one is the legal limit. In any case, I already have my miracle baby, Fiona (different donor). She's two and a half.

OK, now you are freaking me out: my first beta was 1200! I'm already worried the egg split and now you're saying 413 sounds high... My second beta was this morning: 3060. My ultrasound is February 20th. I guess I'll know then!

Where in Canada are you all from? What are your stories? Mine in short is that I was born without eggs. Using donor eggs has always been my only option to get pregnant. I have known since I was 17.

[Kke1988]

Dee1985, I thought 413 seemed high because my doctor said mine of 331 was on the higher side but Im no expert so Im not sure whats the normal range. I know the range is huge. Im from California. I have endometriosis. My husband has no fertility problems and we tried for two years and had 5 Failed IUIs (1 chemical). This is the first FET after an ectopic from IVF in September where I had my right tube (the one with the endo) removed

[Redkatierose]

Im in California as well.

[Dee1985]

I'm hoping my numbers are just high without a reason! Haha.

Wow, both in California. Is it less expensive to do IVF in Canada?

[Kke1988]

Im not sure! I definitely think it depends on your personal healthcare

[Dee1985]

Just wondering why you chose IVF in Canada instead of US. There's no coverage here. We can claim the expenses on our taxes at the end of the year and we should get an amount back, but likely won't be much since it's not medical. Meds are covered based on insurance, but not IVF.

[Kke1988]

I did my IVF here actually

[Kke1988]

Are you guys having any early symptoms?

[Redkatierose]

Just had my third beta numbers are doing great.
1st: 413 @ 9dp5dt
2nd: 2080 @ 12dp
3rd: 6060 @ 14dp
Symptoms are nausea, my boobs hurt so bad, mild pulling cramps, smell and food aversions.
First scan is next Friday. How about all of you? Updates?!

[Kke1988]

I have mild pulling cramps and breast pain that seems only when I first wake up and then it fades. I have food aversions and some cravings. Im very irritable lol and bloated. My first scan is February 20th. My 2nd HCG at 18dpo was 3,088 HCG and my third one at 21dpo was 12,500.

Hello all! I'm excited to be able to join you guys here. Just had my first beta at 10dp5dt and it was 503 I go for my second beta on Tuesday. We had 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed FETS prior to this. We transferred our final two embryos and did assisted hatching on them. I've been getting positive home pregnancy tests for the past 4 days, but I can't stop taking the tests, I've never seen a positive line in my life and I never realized how addicting it could be! So far my only symptoms have been insanely itchy, it's been driving me absolutely insane for the past several days. No rhyme or reason to where I'll itch, but it occurs all over my body at random times. Never had it on any of my previous attempts and the medications have never changed, so it's not any kind of allergic reaction. Hopefully it passes soon. And according to the calculator, my due date is October 20. 

[Kke1988]

Welcome JDA! I took like 10 tests as well when I found out congrats and welcome to the group!
