What a day!
All this BFP stuff is making me so happy to see that almost everyone is doing well! Keep up the good work ladies! I am so concerned about Midum I can't believe she just dissapeared that way! I was hoping since we were the first two for June I thought we wouldcset the trend together. If you are going through something let us know and we'll back off!

well, ladies I have been feeling a low graded fever yesterday , particularly in afternoon to midnight. temp was 99.6 , I had headache, feet were burning. Monday also in afternoon I felt like having a fever but I was very sore from PIO that day so I thought its because of that.

since yesterday morning what I felt is light cramp/twinges only On my very left side, I am worried @ ectopic.

other then the vaginal/pelvic pain tuesday, all I felt is something going on left side.

Ok, normally I'd read through and congratulate each one of you, but I have the worst headache ever, so I will summarize with one collective

WOOHOO!!!!

Good morning ladies,

Was up at 4am this morning and couldnt got back to sleep. Decided to POAS and it was neg. Got to work at 6am and I have just been sitting here blankly staring at my computer screen. I think that not taking an hpt may be the way to go. Seeing those bfns staring up at you is debilitating.

I know that all hope is not lost, but holding out hope is getting harder. In fact, I dont think I hold much hope at all right now. This FET has been particularly hard on me this time. I have an auto-immune disorder that is severly worsened by progesterone. So, that has made my days more painful. I have put on ten pounds even though I havent been eating much. I have extended myself financially as far as I can go. And all of this wouldnt matter if I was growing a LO in there, but starting to feel that isnt the case.

Anyway, sorry, just having a wee pity party for msyelf. :-) I am typically a happy person and so this just isnt in my nature. These darn hormones and darn infertility...

Wanna, really sorry you havent been feeling well my dear.

Hello ladies, I have been reading some of your posts, just because I am so nosey no really, I like to see what other women are doing and how their journey is progressing.

As you can see from my signature, it has been a rough one for my DH and I.

So with that being said, here is my pep talk.

Don't give up and do your best to not be disappointed. God only gives us what we can handle and I believe there is a reason for everything, even in my situation.

Cloves, yes that BFN is disappointing but remember when it is time, it will happen, I promise.

Z- it is good to see you again, I am so excited for your twins, possible trips. Thank you for being so supportive of me when I had my issues, the only thing I can say for you is if you do lose that third one, remember you have 2 others that need you and you have to be super strong for them, your body is their temple.

For all the BFP's in June CONGRATS....I love baby stories. I wish you all the best and hope that I am back on the BFP train soon.

Take care everyone and see you soon.

Mel

I have class this weekend but I'm so excited about all this positive news!

EricaS-Good luck on the next cycle-go for it girl! Keep us posted.

Melissa-CONGRATULATIONS on your -yay!

Mrsready-What a cool way to tell DH! I hope your response to shall we get some (icecream) was yes lol

Julianne-You are funny but I agree because I HATE WAITING. You wait for ER, ET, beta, then 2nd, 3rd beta, then u/s-did I mention I HATE WAITING? lol

Crislyn-I understand the feeling of - hpt because I had it but hang in you still have a few days!

Wannabe-You sound like I've been feeling. I was worried about ectopic this weekend but my levels are steadily increasing so I pray everything is ok for both of us.

Mel-I read your story on another thread and it was very touching. Although I don't know you, I've been praying for you since I read it. I wish you lots of luck and babies in the future!

AFM, had my 3rd beta this morning it is 7,693.7

[ClovesA]

Thats a nice strong beta Hazel. Ya! :-) Dont think you need to be worried.

Mel, thanks for the words of encouragement. Just read your story and my heart is with. You are a strong admirable woman.

z-momma - I am glade baby A and B are doing fine and going strong. I would also not know what to feel either but I that baby C is fighter and will catchup.

Hazel -great nos and thanks for ans.

Melissa and Gina - Good Luck tomorrow.

Crislyn - I think , it was u right who were saying that in previous preg didnt get +ve hpt until beta. Hang in there. I too am being anxious and called nurse to have beta tomorrow(8dp5dt) but she said its early and we will not get accurate result so I have to wait till monday.

Erica - It was nice to hear from you and I wish you good luck for last round of IVF.

Julianne - you sound exactly like me. yesterday I was joking with DH that they should sedate me and I wake up on monday with good news lol.

well, I think I was bit more paranolid @ectopic etc. but smtimes if we dont feel symptoms then we think that there is nothing going on and when we do feel , we analyze it deeply and think of wrong stuff.

to All of us.

Hi Wanna. Got a faint positive either 8 or 9dpt with my BFP. So, since today is 9dpt this time I think my heart was really hoping to see that faint line again. I was quite a sight. I figured if I stared at it long enough I might see it appear. Tried looking at it in the bathroom light, sunlight, etc. So silly...

Very funny. I also spoke to nurse yesterday and asked if it would be too early for me to come in! My DS's doctors office is in the same building as my RE. Have to take him for a doc appointment this afternoon and its going to kill me to not pop in and ask them to just draw my blood while I am there! :-)

Work is soooo slow today. That isnt helping.

[EricaS]

Since I have been going through my charts preparing for tomorrow I thought I would share some of my stats with those of you that are concerned with your #'s Hope this helps ease your minds a little.

Gina--Hope this makes you a little less worried about your beta #--you are fine....
DD#1--11DP3DT 9 (same as a 9DP5DT) my beta was 111
DD#2--11DP3DT 9 my beta was 73 (and she never officially doubled, came close but never fully doubled.
My strongest beta on 11DP3DT was when I miscarried the first time and that was 275, go figure. I learned last time around don't put too much faith in the numbers, just look to see that it is there and then forget about it till ultrasound. Some people don't metabolize HCG as quickly as others and every pregnancy is different compare your #'s to your first pregnancy either. As long as the # is there and it is doubling that is a good sign so enjoy it. Love the onesie story, brought a tear to my eye. Now you have to send out pictures of her when you are ready to family and friends and see how many people will totally miss it. I did that with Gwenn with a shirt that said "Big SIster in Training" and only 1/2 the people caught on.

Cloves--Doc wanted me to dicard on DD#1 cycle so insurance would cover a fresh round so I could do PGD on a new fresh cycle. I think you made the right choice. If you didn't give that one a chance you would always wonder "what if". I hear miracles all the time....

Here are what was transfered with both my preganacies. Both transfers were day 3

DD#1--10 cell 20% frag (notes on the embroy log say "possible aneuploid" because I remember them saying it was growing too quickly, 5 cell 15% frag, 3/7 cells with 20% frag, and 4cell with 5% frag. Of course I don't know which worked but got pregnant with one of them on that cycle. Personally I think it was the 10 cell that was marked as possible aneuploid but that is my opinion.

DD#2---7cell 10% frag (and cells were growing slighty uneven) and a 6 cell with 5% frag

After looking back on my records, I myself would not have had any hope of them working. You just never know how things are going to turn out. I never got a positive HPT until 11DPT3DT and even those you had to hold in the direct sun light and squint really hard to see, so try to hold out till beta.

wanna--hope you are feeling better, try not to worry yourself too much. Before I had my beta with DD#2 I was rushed to the hospital for horrible pain (which I was sure was eptopic even told doc that when I was admitted to the hospital), I could not even sit to pee, I know TMI, hurt too bad to bend. When they hooked me up in the ambulance the guy said do you have the pain now becuase your blood pressure is through the roof. Turned out it was a ruptured cyst and I was sure that the cycle had failed. Before they gave me meds for the pain doc came in and said all we can give you tylenol 3 because you are pregnant. I almost fell off the table, never thought with all the pain I was in would this pregnancy be viable and suprise, it was.

Crislyn I am so sorry this 2ww has been so brutal for you. I can only imagine the stress you are feeling combined with hope and fear - that is a lot of emotions and I don't blame you for being so upset! Only one more full day to get through and then you will have your answer. Don't give up hope mama. You just never know what surprises are in store. I am keeping everything crossed for you!! Hug your boy extra tight tonight

Erica thanks for the info on your betas. That was really reassuring. I also went to that "beta base" website and saw that the average beta for 14DPO is exactly 100, so that helped too! Hopefully tomorrow will double and I can start focusing my worries on the u/s lol. I love you for being here to ease our worries! You are too sweet.

Hazel awesome third beta woman!!! Nice work.

Wanna I hope you are feeling better today. I feel like the odds of ectopic with FET or IVF have to be kind of slim since they actually put the embryo right there in your uterus to start with, ya know? He'd have to be pretty determined to wander back out, right? I'm not sure that's actually true, but that's my logic!

Julianne I'd say if you can wait 'til Sat that's spectacular! Can't wait to hear your results...

Mel -- I am so glad you posted here. I followed your story, and was reading along for the highs and the lows. I am so sorry for all the grief you've been through. It certainly doesn't seem right. I hope and am sure that God has a magical plan for you and you will have your blessing soon! I'll continue to follow you as long as you're on the boards

Nothing much to report with me. Excited for 2nd beta tomorrow. I just like to have everything reconfirmed. Sore boobs again today. Not much cramping anymore. If numbers are good we'll tell my parents tomorrow. They know about the procedure since they had to babysit DD during transfer! It will be fun to share the news. With my last pregnancy, which ended in m/c, we didn't tell anyone until it had ended, and that was so sad. This time around, I'm going to embrace it and celebrate every minute that it lasts!
