Cross-post from the Check-in:
So I had my beta this morning....908! I'm 4w4d so the nurse that called said its excellent and better than I needed it to be. Such a relief!
I go back on Weds!

@SweetiePie: great news! I know given your history that you're nervous, but I hope you're letting yourself get excited about your sticky sticky baby!!

@Shutterbug: Thank you! Yes, I'm starting to let myself believe this might be the real deal!
How are you handling your TWW? Have any hunches?

@tequiero21: Thanks I feel much better getting a medical professionals confirmation. Haha.

@SweetiePie: Awesome numbers! How is your DH doing, is he a believer now too?!

@mrswin: @twodoghouse: Thanks ladies! Don't know how I missed these!
I'm waiting for my 2nd beta now. Gosh I hope it doubled! At least I've stopped POAS-ing since my first beta
@Shutterbug: How are you hanging in there? Test anything yet? Trigger or otherwise? I'm such an enabler.

@SweetiePie: hey! I tested this morning (4dp5dt) and it was negative, so now I know the trigger is out of my system at least. Honestly though I'm not too optimistic... The other two embryos they were watching didn't make it to freeze, so I can't help but feel like this one is probably bad quality too. Ah well. I'll keep testing for the next few days, and beta's on Monday. Congrats again on the big beta #! Good luck with todays!

@Shutterbug: Its good that you know the trigger is out so any BFP you get is for real! And its still EARLY! Its the same as 9dpo!
My fingers and toes are crossed so hard for you!
honeydew / 7230 posts
@Shutterbug: You are still so early - don't count yourself out yet! It's great that you know that your trigger is out of your system though. That way you'll know when you see that second line that it's the real deal!
@SweetiePie: Let us know how your second beta comes back!

@twodoghouse: Ahhhh we always talk about the two week wait, but the two hour wait for betas is just as killer
@mrswin: And yes, DH is more of a believer now He's still cautious but he's talking more about "when" instead of "if". And he doesn't shut me down if I talk about it! Which is a big improvement, haha.

@Shutterbug: 4dp5dt would be early to see a positive! This way you won't have to stress out about whether any line was from leftover trigger. I wouldn't count anything out!!
@SweetiePie: Sending you great doubling vibes!
honeydew / 7463 posts
Ahhhh, you guys! I still don't have my 2nd beta result. Monday they called by 11:30am (only 3 hours after my draw). Today nothing and I'm in a meeting from 2-4p. I called and left a VM at 1:30 and I'm afraid they are dreading calling me because its bad news
honeydew / 7230 posts
@SweetiePie: There could be a million reasons why they haven't called yet and it doesn't necessarily mean bad news! I know it's impossible, but try not to stress. My fingers are crossed for you!
grapefruit / 4703 posts
@SweetiePie: don't stress! Where are you located? Could it be weather-related (that they're understaffed today?) I know my RE's office is all over the place with when they call back. Good luck!
honeydew / 7916 posts
@SweetiePie: I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to their timing! I used to make up theories about why they weren't calling and honestly the only thing that made sense was that they make people with first betas a priority so they don't chew off their fingernails. But timing has NOTHING to do with your results and I bet they're great!!

@twodoghouse: @Shutterbug: @spaniellove: Thabk you girls so much They JUST called as my meeting ended. 2399! So they more than doubled in 48 hours. So relieved!
honeydew / 7916 posts
@SweetiePie: That is a super beta number! Grow little sticky baby!
honeydew / 7230 posts
@SweetiePie: Yay!! Do you know when your first ultrasound will be??
pear / 1531 posts
@Shutterbug: Don't count yourself out yet. None of my other blasts made it to freeze either, and here I am pregnant!
@SweetiePie: Yay! Congratulations!
pear / 1786 posts
@Shutterbug: I had a BFN at 10 DPO before getting my BFP, so definitely don't count yourself out!!!
pear / 1786 posts
@SweetiePie: Congrats on great beta results!!!!! So very happy for you!

@SweetiePie: yes! Great update!
@shutterbug: I'm rooting for you so hard....

@spaniellove: @twodoghouse: @littlek: @raintreebee: @LovelyPlum: @kentuckygirl: @Happygal:
Thanks friends I had an otherwise pretty crappy day so this just turned it back around.
@twodoghouse: First ultrasound is scheduled for next Thursday, 1/30! TTC and IF is just so full of torturous waits! How will I make it to Thursday without bursting!?!
honeydew / 7230 posts
@SweetiePie: It never gets better! You'll probably hold your breath between every appointment for the rest of your pregnancy! But Thursday will really be here before you know it!!

@SweetiePie: awesome numbers girl, if I didn't know you transferred the 1 embie, I could have sworn you were carrying multiples too!

@Apex: @FaithFertility: Thanks gals!
@Apex: You know, of course I've been googling beta #s like crazy since Monday and they do seem really high! Today the nurse that drew my blood didn't have my chart and I told her my first draw number. She assumed I transferred 2!
I know that the odds are that I just have one strong little bugger in there, but my mind wanders to the fact that I had 2 embryos split before the PGD so I can't help but wonder
But It's just fun to imagine! I know it's not likely at all.

@Apex: I thought the same thing!
@SweetiePie: how fun would that be?! Do you know how common it is?
honeydew / 7230 posts
@SweetiePie: that would be crazy/amazing! I pretty much want everyone in the world to have twins now so I'm going to secretly wish you've got surprise identicals in there!
honeydew / 7463 posts
@LovelyPlum: There are mixed stats about the odds increasing with icsi and/or assisted hatching. But even the studies that do say it's higher, it's still only like 1-3% chance (that's the range I saw anyhow). So it really is unlikely, but it happens!
I think I just have one strong little poppy seed in there, just fighting away
eggplant / 11408 posts
@SweetiePie: well, twins would be way cool, but a strong poppyseed is absolutely just as good. Grow, baby, grow!!! This one is a fighter, I can feel it
apricot / 403 posts
@sweetiepie: awesome beta numbers! I'm with @apex and @twodoghouse and @lovelyplum that it sounded like twin numbers! Either way, it'll be so great!
honeydew / 7463 posts
@msmug: Haha thanks. I was really really tempted to go to my GP today and ask for another beta just to see what another 48 hours did :-)(I've been getting them at the RE but my GP is awesome and did voluntary betas for me last pregnancy). But I'm trying to just hold out till Thursdays scan!
I still feel nothing! No symptoms at all. I'd think with high beta numbers AND progesterone supplements I'd feel something. But nada!
