AFM728- WOW!!! Congratulations!!!
Wannabeamomma- great fert report grow embies grow!Third beta was 5687 today glad to have jumped all my beta hurdles! Now the wait for u/s, I'm hoping they will do u/s the week of July 13th. My doctor is out of town that week and the nurse said she was going to talk with him and see if he wants us to wait until he gets back for us to do u/s. "what? I can totally see another doctor" there's no need to wait for him......UGH!!! I hope I don't have to wait any longer

Thank you! Though I think it unlikely that the smaller two will both continue to develop (which would be ok -- I already have three kids, so six would be, um... overwhelming). I'm just so grateful and thrilled that there is one big, fat healthy one. As for beta numbers, my first was 220, second was 429 (two days later) and six days after that, 3020. As I understand it, after there's a heartbeat, beta numbers don't really mean much anymore. But I read so much seemingly conflicting information, who can tell for sure? |

That is great news! It seems that maybe it implanted late or something so maybe the Betas are a bit early for the embabies which is why they are low. It more than tripled so let's just hope that the next Beta blows this outta the park! for Monday's beta!

kelb that is wonderful
afm - it is a negative as I feared and we are devastated. We are going to take a break for about a year or so and then consider donor egg or adoption. I wish everyone healthy and happy pregnancies. And to all the other negatives I hope you reach your goals soon.

Wow Hazel-you are good at keeping up with everyone-very impressive!
Thanks for asking.... AFM-I had my US this morning and they were concerned about a size difference-possible vanishing twin syndrome(I was upset) BUT I just got off the phone with the nurse and she said the doctor thinks they just implanted a little different and it also could be the machine-not to worry that is right! I will go back on Monday for another u/sCongrats on your BETA!

Not sure what to think...
Well, I have decided not to POAS again. I did 8dp3dt and got a VERY faint positive. The next day, I got a negative with the same brand (second stick from the box - FRER). However, that stick now shows a very faint positive as well (although I know I shouldn't consider it since it is 2 days later). Anyway, the evening the FRER showed the BFN, I took another one using a Clearblue and got a - still. (I have heard that the FRER is more sensitive, but who knows). Now at 11dp3dt I'm just too scared to take another one as I realize at this stage of the game is more likely to be accurate (my beta is tomorrow). The other thing that has me concerned is my levels have dropped. When I went in on the 25th (4dp3dt), my E2 was 772 and my P4 was 26.46. They checked my levels again on the 30th (9dp3dt) and they had both dropped! My E2 was only 99 (although they said they expect they E2 to drop after stimulation and that it was still in the normal 1st trimester range). My P4 dropped to 9! Again, she said they like to see it around 15 and although 9 is low, it is still possible. I was not on PIO at the time - only the Crione gel 2x per day. She told me to add the PIO shots to give the P4 a boost. I'm still crampy off and on (like I have been since transfer) and I have had absolutely no spotting. I'm very tired, have hot flashes, and am experiencing periodic nausea. Do you think there is still hope for my little embabies?? Has anyone ever had a progesterone drop during the 2ww? Any words of encouragement you have would be great!

I didn't have my levels checked as I waited so I can't help you there. However, I POAS thursday and got - using DR brand, POAS again friday with 2nd stick from same pack and got a faint line. Saturday I POAS using ept & got - so I used the 2nd stick to check that night and got -. I was brave enough to POAS sunday using CBE and got a +, then went POAS crazy and used the emaining 2 tests 1 of which was digital. I am so in favor of the clear blue easy digital it say pregnant or not oregnant which is clearer than a faint line becuase that confused me lol I'm now BFP, so there is always hope until your beta-hang on it's only one more day!!!
