Beta 3 results

OMG!!! 15,766 reported today. My US is scheduled next Tuesday. This is so surreal for me. I am so happy and thank God. DH is so excited. Everything is progressing well. I'm praying my babies will continue to grow. I have been experiencing nausea like you would not believe. It is relieved when I eat something.

Kelly- I'm so sorry about your BFN. I know it's frustrating to hear this. Please take some time to regroup. ((Hugs)) to you.

Megan- We are glad you found us and look forward to hearing your progress.

Midum-- I'm thinking of you and hope everything is okay. Please check in...

Melissa-- Congratulations on your HPT!!! Look forward to hearing your beta too

Crislyn, Gina, and Solange- Good luck with your betas. I got my fingers and toes crossed for you all.

Hazel-- Good luck on your 3rd Beta Thursday.

Anyone I missed, I'm rooting for you all.

Leigh

Wow, nice numbers Leigh! Sounds like you are going strong.

I just had a weird thing happen to me. I was making LO's lunch for daycare tomorrow and I took a bite of the string cheese I was cutting up for him. It tasted awful like it was going bad and I nearly threw it away. Then I tasted his mac n' cheese and it also tasted bad. I got curious and started tasting random things in the kitchen - pineapple, bread, macaroni salad and everything tastes repulsive.

I also feel like I might be coming down with something so am not trying to take this as too good of a sign. I know that pregnancy can alter your taste, but can it this soon? Could the hormones be altering my taste? I imagine if I am coming down with a cold it could have something to do with it, but I have never had a cold make food taste badly before...and boy does everything taste bad!

Crislyn - Somebody in my fresh cycle group started getting a metallic taste in her mouth during her two week wait, so I think changes in taste are possible this early. Also, lots of people find out they're pregnant when they thought they were just a little under the weather. Hopefully these are good signs!

I'm wondering if anybody else is having pretty severe low back pain. I've been cramping on and off since transfer, but for the last day or two, the cramps have been pretty strong and my lower back is killing me! I'm a little worried because this is what AF feels like for me, too.

Yep, that was it. A metallic taste. Well, heres hoping that its a good sign. I just had a Chinese dinner and it was ok and didnt taste too bad. Seems like it might come and go?

Anyway, once again, thinking of you Miss, Gina, and Solange!

Good night ladies. Hope you all get some rest tonight. :-)

Crislyn - I should have mentioned that the girl in my fresh cycle group who had the metallic taste is currently pregnant! So, yes, I think it's probably a good sign.


Wanna - I did get a cramp that felt like it was on my pubic bone, which I thought was odd, but it didn't linger. The rest of my cramps have been more like abdominal AF-like cramps. My low back is still killing me.

Julianne- thanks for the answer. I was getting worried yesterday but the pain has subsided today so I am feeling better.

Cryslin - metalic taste is one of the early pregnancy symptoms. So I think its a good sign.

anybody had a dificulty opening this website today? I wasnt able to load it since moring and I was worried that I am gonna miss out the good news of Gina,Melissa, and Solange. cant wait to hear from u ladies.

Midum - I am thinking of you. Hope everything is fine and you will update soon

checking in

Melissa, Gina & Solange, we are waiting for great betas today!

Julianne, I've had low back pain for a little bit now and was afraid because I didn't think is was supposed to start this early but it could be the meds and all the changes to our body from the ivf process.

Leigh, amazing beta! you go girl!

Crislyn, food tastes bad? hmmm... hope that's a good sign!

Wannabe, I've had and still do cramps and sharp on and off pains in my abdomen/vaginal area. I was scared but just like the back pain, I've read it can be from the meds and ivf process... or body adjusting to a baby! And yes I've had a hard time logging in all morning which was making me CRAZY!!! because I'm obsessed with checking in lol

Hope you all have a happy hump day!

I cannot believe the site was down all morning! I was going nuts!!!

My nurse called this morning with my beta: 106! I'm so thrilled!!! Woo Hoo!!!! Officially putting myself on the preggers list!!! I told DH this morning that he had to wait for the news in person, so I am dying to get home and for him to get home so I can tell him!! Any ideas? This babe is due on his birthday!! I'll have my repeat beta on Friday I really just thought it worked. I had really intense cramping this morning laying in bed.

Leigh congrats on your nice high betas!!! Less than a week 'til your u/s how exciting! Can't wait to hear that news!

Miss, Solange - waiting for good news mamas!

Crislyn I definitely think the metallic taste is a good sign. I had this last week and again today.

Julianne as I was driving to the dr. this morning I had a sharp lower back pain. Not sure if it was related to how I slept last night or not, but you never know! All other cramps have been mostly in pubic bone area, although all day Sunday I was convinced I had AF-like cramping. Felt exactly like it.

Still deliriously happy over here
