Tuesday's blood test was my first every possitive pregnancy test in 39 years of life. but my second lab on Thursday my levels are rising too slowly. I'm having a hard time trying to stay positive and calm waiting for 3rd blood test on Monday!

I'm not sure how everyone added all of the info to signatures - but We've been married 8 years this October. TTC 6 1/2 years. VERY high FSH. Hubby is perfect. Just finally were able to fund IVF w/ donor eggs through a health care loan as insurance only covers some testing and 3 lifetime AIs.

i hope everything iS ok



well i finally got the guts to do a hpt, i did one on 3rd july and got a very faint line then i did another one today 5th july and got another faint line but it was darker then last time, im due to get my beta on 9th july , so 4 days to go do you think i tested to early?

We got to the waiting room and I just started to cry. Then they brought us back and I got changed and waited on pins and needles to hear our report.

The nurse came back and showed us the picture of our 2 perfect embabies. They were both at 8 cells. And one was a grade 1 and one was a grade 2 (Our RE grades on a scale of 1-5, 1 being the best). I was so relieved. They were the most beautiful pictures I ever saw and was immediately in love with both of them.

So then the valium and then the filling of the bladder. Oy vey !! I was stoned and loopy immediately and had to empty my bladder a little twice bc I had to go so bad, sadly there was an ER going on that had complications so we were delayed.

Finally we went in and the RE congratulated us on our excellent quality embryos. She did a quick trial transfer and then they were in. I did feel like I was going to bust- but funny enough, I COULD NOT GO in the bedpan.

When they wheeled me back to my recovery area and had me tilted back - the pressure was so painful -that after 15 minutes they let me get up and go to the bathroom.

I was so so scared I was going to pee or push out my embabies- which they told me was completely IMPOSSIBLE.

So, now I am home and just resting while my loving DH makes me grilled cheese sandwiches -YUM !!

Wishing you all a great 4th of JULY !!

That is awesome. Good Luck to you!

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend (though it's not yet over for some of us!)

Indie - I can't speak from experience. I haven't been what you've been through in the past. But I can offer this advice: try to find things to take your mind off the whole process (I know it's easier said than done). It's important not to get stressed, but to stay hopeful until your next OFFICIAL test. We're all pulling for you.

Wannabe - that was a great story. It's so funny that some clinics give valium - they've never offered it to me! And don't worry about peeing - if you could pee out an embryo, probably none of us would even exist!

gbutterfly - welcome! I'm that your little one was just a slow starter but your third beta will show that he or she has kept going strong.

megz - it sounds like a BFP. Can't wait to hear your first beta result.

caty561 - that's an amazing number of eggs! I have egg-envy! Good luck on the ER tomorrow.

Praying - good luck on your ET tomorrow. May you have a stress-free 2ww (if that's at all possible!)

AFM, I am now 3dp5dt. Way too early for anything at all. I just have to wait patiently (yeah - right!). We did hear on Thursday that none of our embabies made it to snow status and we were very disappointed. So now the pressue is on the 4 that we put in, especially our high achiever, the only blast. It only takes one, it only takes one...

In the meantime, I'm sending and to all of you!

Im having my treatment with melbourne IVF , so far they have been fantastic, my insurance didnt cover anything, this is my first IVF with ICSI and it cost us $5400 but we got back $3000 from medicare, then we had to pay for a few other things that work out to be around another $1000? Thats a full stimulated cycle, frozen thew cycles are about $1600 then what ever medicare rebate

NEED HELP LADIES !!! THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG 2WW !

AFM, I am 1dp3dt and I am already freaking out.

I dreamt that we were unsuccessful bc yesterday when I was laying on the OR table right after the ET and trying to pee in the bed pan - and tried to force it a little, that I pushed the embabies out.

I am certifiable. Call the little men in the white coats.

I have 11 more days till my Beta. How am I going to survive ????

[Hazeld0409]

Good luck with your ET today!!

[Anj70]

hi ladies... may I join in ? Im on my 3rd IVF... and last 2 days my HPT (digital) shows "PREGNANT" .... hoping for a good beta on Tuesday ....

... btu also cautious about even feeling happy. See my signature... clearly a +ve beta is only the first step in a long journey.... cant believe how stressful this all gets.

For those waiting for their betas... best of luck !!

Anj

[Hazeld0409]

Anj, Congrats! This is my 1st ivf attempt but I know what you mean about worrying every step of the way. I've been stressing since I'm waiting for u/s on 7/16!
