@Sunshine1810: Congratulations!! So glad to hear that the numbers look good for you! I also started a little on the low side with my LO. I was 44 at 9dp5dt and then 91 at 11dp5dt. Those were the only betas we did.

@bluestriped bee: Hey sorry, haven't been on here for a couple days. Well I lucked out and my friend had 2 follistim left over- btw they say 300 units but they all have extra and my RE said each vile ends up being 425 u. I stimmed so fast (7 days total) so I only used 1 vial of follistim total and I used 7 menopur vials, one for each day but ended up with 2 left over and then I triggered with 2 garnilex.
@Sunshine1810: Yay! SO happy to hear your #'s are doing well. Congrats!
AFM, had another u/s today. I am 12 now. Everything is looking good. My worries about losing the baby have really subsided but now I am on to worrying about genetics ect as I am doing my NT scan and blood work next week. The worrying never ends I'm afraid!

I don't have my beta numbers back yet, but I just started spotting. It's light pink right now. I'm so sad.

@Sunshine1810: I hope this is some normal early pregnancy bleeding... Did you have a repeat HCG done today?

@FliegepilzHut: Nurse called. My number doubled again so that's good. She said if it's spotting it might be the progesterone or two tried to implant and one didn't make it. She said we will check again Monday.

@Sunshine1810: That is great news!
ETA: Hang in there, lady! I know how hard it is...

@Sunshine1810: Doubled again! Excellent! I'm cheering you on from afar! The bleeding is so scary, I know - but I've read so many stories where early spotting ends up being nothing. I'm so hopeful that this is the one for you, after all these years trying. You've gotten this far, and two doubling betas is such a good sign! FX!

@Sunshine1810: whew, yay for doubling again!
@momazon: how are you doing, did you test yet?

@Shutterbug: Yup! this morning at 7dp5dt... I know there's still a chance, but I'm not holding out much hope for this cycle. I'm doing ok - I think it really helps that we have a plan for how to move forward, if we need to (we will do one more fresh IVF cycle and then move on to donor eggs).
I'm confident we will be parents someday, however it eventually happens.

@momazon: I adore your positive outlook!! I have to admit, lately I've been mentally preparing myself for a life without kids, but you are inspiring me to be more hopeful

@momazon: Definitely still a chance, big hugs to you. xx
@Sunshine1810: Lots of women in early pregnancy have spotting, so hang in there.

@Sunshine1810: So happy your #'s doubled. Spotting is so common, there are so many success stories with early spotting.
@momazon: holding out hope for you. You have a great attitude, I really admire that!

@momazon: Sending lots of , , and good thoughts! You will totally become parents someday soon!

We go in to my IVF clinic for payment & first bloods tomorrow. Please let me ovulate soon!!!
pomegranate / 3533 posts
Hooray! I got my orders/schedule today for a FET 11/26 (the day before Txgiving)!!!
pear / 1556 posts
@momazon: Thanks for comforting me! I just panicked as soon as I saw blood. Sending lots of good thoughts your way!!!
@jaguar: @Mrs.Pinecone316: Thank you! I'm trying to calm down a bit!
@jaguar: FX for you!!!
@FliegepilzHut: I am doing better than I was this weekend! I did have labs this morning, but don't have the results yet... So glad you got to schedule your FET!! So excited for you!
pomegranate / 3533 posts
@Sunshine1810: Hopeful for more good news from you soon!!! All this waiting is the pits...but I guess there's no other way, is there?
ETA: And thank you! I'm getting pretty excited, too!
pear / 1556 posts
@FliegepilzHut: The waiting is awful! My levels just over doubled again and the nurse said she was really pleased. I'm still only at 204 though so I need to keep going until I hit 1,000..

@Sunshine1810: How many weeks are you? I don't know that I really feel this way...but doesn't it seem like the super-early monitoring with IVF gives us a lot more opportunity to worry? Very very happy that things are going well with you and the embie, though!
pear / 1556 posts
@FliegepilzHut: Thank you!! According to an online IVF calculator I found I am 4w4d, today is 13dp5dt. I completely agree with you about the super early monitoring causing more worry. These betas every 48 hours are making me crazy. Also, I hate that my clinic starts testing at 7dp5dt. I think if I hadn't seen that first really low number (18) I might not be as worried as I am now.
pomegranate / 3533 posts
@Sunshine1810: That sounds like a very respectable number! As soon as you can, take a deep breath, and enjoy! Wishing you, DH, and LO the very best!
pomegranate / 3533 posts
@jaguar: Sorry... Was it an estrogen level that they checked?
nectarine / 2433 posts
@Sunshine1810: 204! Great number, I can't believe they make you keep going until you hit 1,000. Enjoy being pregnant! Have they scheduled an ultrasound already?
@jaguar: Sorry lady FX that your ovaries get their act together soon!
nectarine / 2433 posts
@FliegepilzHut: Yay! 11/26 will be here so quickly, I am sending you lots of good thoughts
pomegranate / 3533 posts
@jaguar: Will your RE only do natural cycle transfers? (Maybe that's not the correct term...but my cycle will actually be suppressed and no transfer performed if I ovulate...)
pomegranate / 3533 posts
@mrswin: Thank you! Still sending lots of good thoughts to you as well!
pomegranate / 3764 posts
@FliegepilzHut: Yep. They don't want to do artificial ones because my progesterone is so low, it's risky and would likely just throw away our last frosty.
pomegranate / 3533 posts
@jaguar: No PIO, I guess? / /
ETA: I had never realized just how different our RE's protocols could be...
pear / 1556 posts
@jaguar: Oh no! I'm sorry
@mrswin: I can't believe it either! They will schedule one as soon as I hit 1,000.
pear / 1986 posts
@momazon: Any news? FX for you!!
@Sunshine1810: Glad to hear about another good number!!
@jaguar: Wow, that is really interesting about only doing a natural cycle. I'm so surprised that the low progesterone is a problem since they supplement so routinely. Definitely hoping things get back on track for you soon!
@FliegepilzHut: Did I see 11/26 is the date for you!? Yay!! What is your protocol going to be?
AFM: Nothing new. Still on BCPs for awhile. I did get some hand-me-down maternity clothes from my sister this weekend but am going to wait to go through them until I actually need them.

@GreenThumb: Thank you! It's been nice to have some good news! I can't wait until the betas every 48 hours are over.
