Ola- Thanks SO much for sharing that That really gives me a lot more hope for this little embie
When I went to the beta calculator, it said my doubling time was 56 hours and that number was within the normal range for where my HCG is at right now (the range says it should double between 31-72 hours at this point). I just get anxious because of my last loss, although that beta started out at 18, so significantly lower than this one...
Really hope to get good news on Friday!!!! Fingers crossed!!!!! xxxx

Ola- UGHHH!! I am so sorry to hear about your light spotting and HPT's....Your betas have been good all along, haven't they???
I am thinking of you and hoping your ultrasound goes well today, so that you can have some piece of mind that everything is good
Keep us posted! xxx

I now have the option of getting another beta drawn today, but I'm not sure if I want it with my ultrasound tomorrow. If I get good news then great! But if it's bad news, then I'm just going into the ultrasound in a bad mood. I guess I could have it drawn today, and not answer my phone for the rest of the day!...why do we have to go through this torture!
ET Aug 2014 - 19 retreived, 6 made to 5 day blasts - sent to PGD Lab (freeze all)...4 blasts good to go!
November 2014 - 1st FET cycle...cancelled due to bad uterine lining
December 2014 - 2nd FET cycle....cancelled due to bad uterine lining
February 2015 - 3rd FET cycle...uterine lining got to 0.8mm...transferred 2 blasts...BFN
June 2015 - 4th FET cycle (only 1 blast left to transfer...one didn't make it through thaw).....we'll see...nope BFN
Oct 2015 - 31 retrieved, 8 made to 5 day blasts - sent to PGD Lab (freeze all)....6 blasts good to go!
Jan 2016 - 5th FET cycle...lining got to 6.5mm, not great, but Dr seemed confident...transferred 2 blasts...just waiting...finished waiting
Beta #1 13dp5dt 1960
Beta #2 18dp5dt 14,950

Good luck with the ultrasound tomorrow Jody! I hope you get some good news. ...the beta might not be a bad idea just to correlate with the ultrasound? ?? Fingers and toes crossed. Are you still bleeding? ??

No bleeding since Monday (I'm not counting Tuesday because I'm pretty sure that was just the "leftovers") so I'm hoping that's a good sign. I think I'm going to get the beta drawn this afternoon, that way the results won't be in until the morning anyways. By then the ultrasound will be over and hopefully I can relax a bit.

Afm, because if my past ups and downs I've been stressing over this pregnancy and I keep praying everything is fine in there and so far (thankfully!) it all seems to be progressing well. When I was pregnant with my daughter I bought a Doppler because I knew it would help calm me down whenever I got super stressed and concerned. I've used it during this pregnancy too (as recent as yesterday) and so far I keep hearing the heartbeat which is such a comfort. Otherwise my pregnancy symptoms seem to be lessening. The morning sickness is pretty much gone, I don't feel as EXHAUSTED as I was and the bloating has gone down too. Yay all around! As of today I'm 10 weeks 2 days!! My hubby and I were anxious to pass the 9 week mark since I miscarried at 9 weeks before, now the next goal is 12 weeks. One day at a time!

I'm new to this, and I was scared to join so soon, but I just need people to talk to. I have had 7IUIs and 3 rounds of IVF all with BFN and no frosties. My husband and I looked into adoption and even went to a lawyer and then randomly had something in our insurance change so we decided to go back and try a 4th round of IVF....we finally got a BFP. I'm actually still in stock and I'm not sure that I believe any of this is real. I'm 5 weeks today and according to some website I'm due 10/13.
I wanted to pose a question as I'm curious what your doctors have you doing....is anyone on progesterone supplements? I'm currently take 1.5 cc of PIO and endometrin 2 times a day. It seems like a lot. Thoughts? It was tested today and I had a number of 24.
Ola- so glad to hear that the ultrasound went well....sending you lots of positive vibes

Jody I hope whatever you decided went okay for you!

I'm on 3 progesterone suppositories a day and when I did my first beta test my progesterone level was WAY higher then yours. Rest assured that the progesterone level is good and necessary.
Best of luck.

Ola- So happy to hear that your ultrasound went well That is amazing! You must feel so happy and relieved!!!
Orange- Welcome!!! I am taking 3 progesterone suppositories per day and 300mg oral Prometrium per day as well. My progesterone measured at 60 (Canadian measurement), but that's all their machine goes up to, so not sure what it really is...pretty high I'm sure!
Andi- Congrats! Sounds like you are doing very well so far
Jody- When do you find out about your beta?? Hope all goes well with your ultrasound tomorrow
AFM- I am 4 weeks, 2 days today! Just anxiously awaiting my 3rd beta tomorrow and really hoping and praying for good news going into the long weekend...!! Will keep you ladies posted once I hear

Morning!!
Just a quick check in...got the call for my third beta this morning and it went from 285 to 734!!!!!! We are overjoyed and feeling SO thankful right now....The nurse said it obviously it more than doubled so we don't have to do another beta before 7-week ultrasound, but we can if we want. I will likely do one more on Sunday just to ease my mind until the ultrasound, but she said things are looking really great!!
How is everyone else doing??? We have a long weekend in Ontario, so I am so excited to have an extra day to relax with DH
My report cards are due on Tuesday (I'm a teacher), but it's definitely nice to have an extra day!!

Jody- hope all went well today!
Thanks for the feedback everyone on progesterone, definitely helpful! I go for my first ultrasound on the 18th. What should I be expecting. Obviously it is too early to hear the heart....do you see anything? Do you know at that time how many embryos took? We transferred two day 5 blasts.
Have a great weekend everyone.

This is pretty stressful process.
#73

This whole process IS stressful especially when you've gone through so much to get this positive. We all understand and are here to support. Let me tell you, the stress doesn't get any less as your pregnancy continues. It just becomes a different stress. My symptoms are gone, what does that mean? The baby hasn't started moving yet, what does that mean? The baby hasn't moved in an hour, what does that mean? Hahaha. Only 33 more weeks left
