Hey ladies...

Judy - omg thats a great number and im going with everyone else there may be 2.

Amy - I would speak to your re about taking any meds over the counter or perscribed. I cant see how anyherbal dr can actually know what to take for each symptom. Its just like those weight loss medications. I do believe that some herbals can help with colds and certain things but not to prevent M... I mean my MIL tells me not to eat to much cinnamon becuz back in the day thats what women took to abort...Enjoy your pregnancy and try not to stress to much you lil angels are growing and they need mommy to relax...

JOM - I know you had a low beta last time but each time is different and my beta was 21 and i am now 5mths...I will pray for a higher beta tomorrow.

Nanno - take HPT and call your ob but let us know whats going on too. please dont leave us hangin...

Mary - I hope dd gets better quick, in the meantime try not to touch your face. im going to post something i got by email.

April - so what did you buy?? leggings?


Today i had my yard sale and made $100 lets see what happens tomorrow. The babyshower we went to was really nice but it was more like a drunken party( which made me want to have a drink). we didnt have cake or see games or presents. the party started at 4 and we left at 9 and people we still partying...but omg there was so much food. im soo tired and my feet hurt....

JOM - I will be praying for you and will be checking in for your beta tomorrow. Good luck and don't give up yet.

Nanoo - TAKE AN HPT!!!!!! Don't leave us hanging like that! Friends of mine got pg after trying IVF. I think once the pressure was off, it happened. I agree with Mandy, though. If it is negative, call your doc's office. My cycle in September was 47 days long - way longer than normal. They ended up giving me something to bring it on. Last month it came on time. for surprising news!

Mary - My DD had H1N1 2 weeks ago. She tolerated Tamiflu great and was back to herself in about 6 days. My DH and I took Tamiflu preventively, then got the H1N1 vaccine injection last weekend. I read to gargle with warm salt water and use a Q-tip dipped in warm salt water and rub around the inside of your nostrils (or use a netty pot) and that will help. Not sure if it is true or not. I don't know where I read it, but it was a doctor who said it. Good luck and I hope you don't catch it.

AFM - I went to my appointment this morning and wouldn't ya know, the acupuncture 'tweak' yesterday worked! My lining went from a 5 on Thursday to a 9.5 today. She showed me the triple stripe, too. My follicle sizes were good and the RE told me to do my trigger sometime today. He said they would thaw the embies on Tuesday, with either a Thursday or Saturday transfer. He also said that may change if my LH level came back higher. Soooooo, we are watching my DD play the drums at the Please Touch Museum and the RE calls, himself. My LH was higher, so I have to back in tomorrow morning to check my blood again. This will determine if they have to thaw them on Monday instead of Tuesday, which pushes the transfer date up by one. What a roller coaster! My appointment is at 8am EST tomorrow and I will update you guys as soon as I am back.

On a side note, if anyone is ever visiting Philadelphia, with kids, I highly recommend The Please Touch Museum. It is really amazing and fun for all ages!

Kate I am soooo happy for your.... I have heard good things about accupuncture but I don't know any good ones in my area... and my clinic don't promote accupuncture.... I would love to go to Philly... I have a friend who lives about 4 hours from there... Can't wait to hear transfer date!!!!!

Judy normally your beta doubles every 48 to 72 hours.... this is the normal range however yours is doubling every 32 hours which is outstanding which would give a good indication you are having multiples!!!! I know April told you about the hours of doubling but she is busy trying on her leggings....lol so I answered your question for her!!!!!... LOVE YA APRIL!!!!

[Mandy911]

Oh and Amy your doubling time is 57.23... which is in the normal doubling range and I think it is awesome!!!!

SO you want your number to double every 48 hours.... this calculates you are doubling at 32 hours, not 48 so you are more than doubling lol. Mine was only 43 I think lol so your number is climbing FASTER than mine did lol. Thats good!!! I think your number is the fastest doubling time on here!

I dont think you need another BETA, I had to wait the 2 weeks as well. It is worth the wait... you may hear the heartbeats then!!!!

Amy, what are you doing in the meantime while waiting?

Hi Judy,
I know this waiting is hard, isn't it?? I remember reading this board when all of our July pregnant ladies were going through this. I think it is very normal for us to be anxious, but I guess we just have to not stress and go with it.

You will make it through these two weeks the same as you went through the 2ww before your beta. We have many more milestones ahead of us!! I am trying to just keep busy and try not to think about it. It doesn't completely erase things from my mind, but I am making an effort to try and keep the stress levels low. I am sure I'll be in this forum quite a bit. LOL.

Just like April said, it'll be worth the wait!

Thanks, Caty! I am doing much better today. I think yesterday was just a bad day for me on the anxiety front. I think I've got it out of my system and now I am nice and calm again. You are an inspiration as I know you have already been through this and now you are 5mths!!

Sounds like you had a good day yesterday with the yard sale and the party.

ok I just briefly scrolled through the last few pages and OMG is JUDY and AMY pregnant now ???? ROCKKKKK ONNNNNNNNNNNNN ! IVF works ?!

Its November and its hard to believe that IVF # 2 is fast approaching for me too January is not too far away now!

But guess what ? my last period was September 25th and I havent had one since then....I was expecting another one October 25th...so that would make me 14 days overdue ? I had a funny metallic taste in my mouth before my period was due and this last week i've had nausea. When I eat something I feel like im gonna puke it out but I dont, I jus gag. Im really feeling different and I told my hubby ... could we be preggo ? he said its all in my head cuz he's heard this before when ive been like 10 days late for my period's a few times in the past.

I didnt take a HPT nor have I visited a doc for a blood test. Should I wait some more to see if it comes ?

Hi Nanoo!
Yes, it is true...IVF works sometimes. LOL.

Girlie, you need to take an HPT!!! How cool would that be if you were pregnant naturally during your break-time?!?

Please let us know...

Thanks for the advice Kate. The ER said they don't specifically test for H1N1, just to see if the flu is type A (which includes H1N1) or Type B. Of course, she is type A. The tamiflu doesn't seem to be causing any side effects, but she doesn't like taking it and she tired of the breathing treatments, but I think she is already getting better. Of course it could be all the ibuprofen and tylenol in her system.

Nanoo-take a test. The suspense is killing us.

Judy, my Re said he wanted my number over 100 on the second beta and he doesn't do any betas after that-just wait for the u/s. It was kind of nice, because then I got to assume everything was ok instead of worrying about crunching numbers.

[ktmc74]

I am back from the office and my dates were pushed up like they thought. My embies will be thawed out tomorrow & transfer will be Friday (5 day) or Wednesday, if it has to be a 3 day. He was very optimistic today. He said my LH was fantastic yesterday and my HCG trigger will enforce that. He also said my lining was fantastic. He asked if I wanted to put 3 back, based on my age, but I said I couldn't do selective reduction, so I went with 2. They will do Assisted Hatching this time and glue if necessary. Sounds so involved, but I am on board for all!!!!!

Please say some prayers that my 8 embies survive the thaw and make it to blast!

So, I am now off with the family for some yummy pancakes! I will check back in later for JOM.

It is interesting that you mention this for the H1N1, there are a lot of rumors that they can do "rapid tests" to find out if you have the H1N1 and thats not true. The rapid test is exactly what you mentioned above The problem with this test... the flu is the flu lol it does not matter what "type" you have just treat the flu lol. In order to be tested for H1N1 and receive the results it would take almost two months because of how backed up they are! Sorry, we get lots of literature on this stuff so if this is annoying lemme know
