I would like to start this thread. I had my first beta yesterday and it was 827! Very high for a singleton, but we'll see :-). I've usefd this website IVFConnections.com - IVF Due Date Calculator by Date of Transfer, Retrieval, Ovulation or Insemination to calculate my due date and it's October 2, 2013.

Hi Cerbie! Thanks for starting this thread. My due date is October 4th.

How are you feeling so far? With your HCG being so high, have you been hit with nausea already? I've been feeling pretty good, but I'm a little crampy. I've read about lots of other people who had cramps during their first trimester, and everything ended up just fine. But it still worries me a bit. I haven't had any spotting though, so that makes me feel better.

When is your first ultrasound? Mine is February 14th. I'm so excited to find out if we are having one or two!

Hi Ladies,

It is so wonderful that you made this thread. According to my RE my tentative due date is October 2nd. My 6 week ultrasound for heartbeats and how many is on February 6th.

Since my positive beta I have been feeling great. Except for a minor cramp here and there. No spotting though since implantation. My breasts are still really sore and seem enlarged and I feel a bit bloated so my pants aren't fitting the greatest. But in a few months I won't fit in them at all so I should be happy.

I am hoping that this all continues on well because I made all the phone calls to my friends and family that I am pregnant. I would really hate to have to make calls taking it back. But I was so excited I couldn't help myself. Have you ladies told anyone yet?

Congrats to all of us on our

Hi Cerbie007! Hope I can join!

According to the other calculator I used my due date is the 5th, but the one linked by you says the 6th. Either way I am sure I will find out after an ultrasound or two but October it is!

Same due date here!!! Three of us are on the same day! I have told so many people out of pure excitement!!! I feel the same way you do about not taking back calls! My first u/s is Feb 1!

[Cerbie007]

Wow, ladies, 4 of us with a due date on the 2nd of October! Though when I calculate my due date based on the first day of my last period, it says September 28th. But it's not accurate, right?

I am feeling fine, maybe just a little bit queasy - no morning sickness though, thank God! Last time it started during the 7th week and it wasn't pretty - I call the 2.5 months that it it lasted a throw-away time from my life. I was basically lying on a coach all the time and could eat only potatoes, bread and Calamati olives!

So of course, I am dreading the appearance of morning sickness this time too. The only positive thing is that last time I've lost about 7 pounds during the 1st trimester. Maybe I'll lose some weight this time too ))).

I don't know when my first u/s is yet - tomorrow I'll have my 2nd beta and they will tell me.

Just want to wish everybody a nice and easy journey and a very healthy pregnancy!!!

[butterflies19]

Cerbie...your first beta is so high WOW!!! My RE didn't need me to go back for a third beta because I went from 65 to 182!! That number is GREAT! I really hope you don't have any morning sickness this time! I've never been pregnant before so I'm kind of new to everything here! my first ultrasound is Fri and they will see how many took. We all think just one but my doc says she has been surprised before so we shall see. One nurse even said we would hear a heartbeat but from what i read that may be too early. So today is considered 4 weeks and 4 days for us right?

My parents and my in-laws knew that we were doing IVF, so we've been updating them with the progress. We told them about the after our first beta. We told our siblings over the past few days, so now everyone in our immediate families know.

I haven't told any friends yet. I'm going to try to wait until after week 12, if I can. I didn't tell any friends that we were doing IVF, and only a few knew that we were struggling TTC.

Have you guys been waking up in the night to go to the bathroom? I never used to do that, but I've had to every night for the last 4 or 5 nights.

Hi ladies. Thanks for starting the thread Cerbie. My due date is October 1st, according to the IVF due date calculator. But I am soooo worried about high order multiples. My nurse left a voicemail saying that my RE wants me to come in for a third beta and an early ultrasound Monday. The fact that they are now wanting a 3rd ultrasound and an ultrasound a week before my scheduled ultrasound made me really nervous. So I emailed my friends because they have multiples. They both agree that my beta numbers are higher than the girls in their groups that had triplets! One of my friends sent me links to some beta boards for triplets and oh my gosh! They are right. My numbers are through the roof! I also looked at betabase.info and another website that lists betas for triplets and my beta at 11dp5dt or 16dpo is four times higher than the median for twins and 2x higher than the median for triplets. I am thankful that I got a BFP, but the idea of triplets or more is very scary.
Have you guys done research on beta numbers? What do you all think of my betas? I'm just really worried.

Just found this great site with some great information! I applied for there "Baby dust grant" it helps with infertility treatments or adoptions financially if your approved. It's Your Choice Inc

Vegasbaby no I can't say that I am waking up in the middle of the night to pee yet. But boy do I have to pee when I do wake up. So I would imagine getting up in the middle of the night is right around the corner for me.

Butterflies yes that would make us Oct. 2nd delivery day at 4 weeks 4 days.

Cerbie I have yet to look into anything on betas. I only did one so I can't even see if mine doubled. So I am hoping everything is good down there. But your 2nd beta was really high. I am interested on finding out what your doctor sees on Monday.

The due date calculator I use is IVF Due Date Calculator. Definitely go by your ER and not your LMP, but if you are carrying multiples it moves your date up. I like how it lists some of the milestones and what tests when.

I have just been having headaches and some crampiness or pangs
in there. I wake up in the night now and have a problem getting back to sleep, which is new. I had a little spotting yesterday but I think it was from my cervix being irritated due to the Endometrium.

I have told my BF, my three best girlfriends (two of which did IVF, one is having infertility issues and will probably end up doing IVF), and my boss because I had to take time off for ET. I haven't told my family. I am considering waiting to make sure everything is okay but I will see how it goes. I really would like to tell my mom but she lives with one of my sisters and if that sister knows EVERYONE knows.

I've woken up as much as 6 times in one night but now I'm about once or twice. I attribute all of the peeing due to the dexamethasone they still have me on. I started having those symptoms prior to the ET. Now it's probably a combo of both!
