I will be We had our fourth FET on May 30 and a positive beta on June 11. EDD is February 14.
This weekend wasn't the greatest for us as I had heavy, bright-red bleeding on Friday night. We went to the hospital, waited for four hours and were told by the doctor I was "probably miscarrying, but won't be able to tell until we do an ultrasound," which they couldn't do for us until the next morning. So we went home pretty upset at 1 a.m., only to return at 10 a.m. and see our little sea monkey measuring right on track and with a heart beat completely in range for 6w. Turns out it was just a SCH, which I still have, and apparently I also have a fibroid.
I swear some days this is harder (emotionally and stress-wise) than the process to get pregnant!

Hi everyone! I had a FET on May 28th and a positive but low beta on June 9th followed by a normal positive beta on the 11th. I'm due February 13th and am having a hard time believing it's all real. I've had mild symptoms, but nothing more than what I had on just the meds other than some food aversions and a bit of nausea. I had 24 hrs of brown spotting last week which freaked me out so I finally took a hpt today to make sure it was still positive (it was). First ultrasound is Wednesday. This process is crazy-making! Exercise will help but I'm trying to take it easy until at least the first ultrasound.

Welcome and congrats OuttaControl and singlemamatobe,
I know what you mean about not wanting to jinx it, but I’m going a little stir crazy with waiting. We did not do PGS testing, so really just throwing the dice!

Singlemamatobe - It's so crazy making! The best thing we can do is remain as calm as possible, which I know is easier said than done
Outtacontrol - those are the only symptoms I've had as well. I admit, I get a little worried when my boobs aren't sore (has happened a few times over the last two weeks), but then it comes raging back.
Muffin - we didn't do PGS either, but I've read so many conflicting things about it that I'm ok with our decision not to proceed with it.
BabyM - 8 weeks! Amazing! When do you graduate from your clinic?
AFM - I am so freakin tired and I think some nausea has started as I find myself taking extra deep breaths on my commute to work. Also a little anxious about going back to the clinic for bloodwork tomorrow after the weekend's bleeding incident.

Ugh I woke up to a bunch of blood this morning. It has stopped but it scared the crap out of me. I am wondering if it is the endometrin irritating me and blood thinners that I am on. This also happened on Saturday.
I emailed my nurse and asked if she thinks moving my ultrasound up is a good idea because I have bad anxiety and think Im not pregnant anymore.
Well see what she says.
Hope it's nothing! My bleed last week was a SCH. Hope yours is too. <3

Hi OuttaControl, sorry to hear about your frightening morning! I hope its nothing to worry about too.
I understand anxiety well. I did do one thing while waiting for my first ultrasound and that was buy a ClearBlue Easy with Weeks Estimator test. It can only tell you if you are at most 5+ weeks pregnant based on your HCG levels, but seeing that I was first 4-5 weeks and then 5+ weeks brought me much comfort. I could then assume that my HCG was rising normally. It does say to use 1st morning urine.
All of this might add to your anxiety just as easily, but it might provide some additional positive info before Thursday's ultrasound.
FX!
Your cervix can also get irritated.

Ultrasound today for me and there is only one baby with a little heartbeat! Very surreal. My due date has been moved to Feb 15th which makes me 6+5 wks today.
Morning sickness commonly pops up by 7 wks, but there are a lot of people who don't get it! It's a good sign if you have it but not a bad sign if you don't. Good luck to everyone else having ultrasounds this week!

OuttaControl - hope everything goes well today with your ultrasound!

hs4816 - I've had an episode of heavy bleeding as well, but it turned out to just be a sch, which is so common! Hoping we're all in the same boat.
Baby-m - so exciting that you get released to an OB this week! Did you have to find one or did your clinic refer you to one?
AFM - the nausea hit me like a ton of bricks last night and wasn't much better this morning. I really hope it isn't like this every day.
