Thank you everyone It's kind of strange because my local BETA tripled in 48 hours....so why didn't my RE's BETA? Are the machines that different or was it growing faster and now it's slowing down?

My local BETA was 32 and then 48 hours later it came back at 104!!!! My RE's BETA was 54 and 96 hours later (2 sets of 48) it was up to 254.....so again...wonder why the huge difference?

New To Forum

Hi All.
I am new to this forum. I am in the 2ww period. I had my transfer yesterday (Jun 28)...so, only 1dp5dt. I had 2 blasts implanted. I am very nervous. I can't wait until the next two weeks are up so I can move on to the next steps (either buying baby stuff or doing a FET - I have 3 frozen blasts). We are doing our first beta on July 8th.
We have been ttc for over 5 years now, and have been going to an infertility clinic for 3 years. I have stage 3 endo. We have a 7 year old son that we had naturally (accidentally). Didn't think that we would have problems to have anymore. Guess we were wrong. We have done stims for the last two years - only one IUI (cause right tube is blocked and I kept getting follices on the right and none on the left). This is our first IVF.
I read everyone's posts from the beginning. It is exciting and depressing all at once! I love to read the success stories, but hate to hear when someone has to start the whole process over again.

Negatives

I did a hpt 5dp2dt - negative. Then another 12dp2dt - negative. My official beta is tomorrow. I have no symptoms and I am extremely nervous it's negative too. I hope and pray that I am wrong.

I am praying the HPT is wrong!! My beta is also tomorrow so I am hoping and we both get the BFP we deserve!! I am really nervous as well. I had spotting for about 24 hrs and it has kind of stopped today and lately I haven't really had any other symptoms! Praying that is a good sign. Good luck

Okay, I'm feeling a bit discouraged this morning. Yesterday at 8dp3dt (which would be 11dpo and 13 days past trigger), I POAS and got a VERY faint positive. However, today at 9dp3dt I POAS and it was negative. What do you think? I know it is still early, but has anyone every had the HCG trigger still detectable at 13 days past trigger before? Most things I have read said it is usually gone by 10 days past trigger. I did not test before yesterday, so I did not follow the HCG leaving my body. What are your thoughts?

I tested 7 days after my trigger and got a negative, so I would think the trigger HCG is out of your system.
I POAS this morning and got a negative. My beta is not until monday, should be sat, but my RE is closed for the 4th.
I am hoping some HCG will kick in over the next coulple of days.

Has anyone got a negative hpt 8 days after transfer and been pregnant?

Just wanted to say that I was praying for you all

KelB: praying it goes way up on the next test and shocks everyone You may have just had a late implanter

Ashxl: I'm so sorry. I'm glad you're picking yourself up and dusting off for September. You'll get that BFP

Everyone else hang in there....the 2ww is CRAZY. They really should include a spa week or something with IVF treatment packages LOL I know I could have used it.

The 3ww after BETA isn't so hot either, but I'm hanging in there....I haven't even POAS yesterday or today ....only because I'm out of test LOL

Still, I'm having evening sickness and I'm sooooo tired plus around my belly button is getting hard, which is strange and early...but I'll take it.

I'm still having food aversions which is funny since I LOVE food.....but all that will change in a few months I'm sure.

Well, I'm thinking of you all and praying that our updated list at the end of the group has a lot of BFP's and all those BFP's go on to a happy, healthy 9 months and a baby (or babies).

Ash - so sorry about the negative test.

Kel - crossing fingers and toes for you that the number just keeps going up!!

Indie - sorry about the food aversion, but couldn't be for a better reason!

Amber - yes, the 2WW is CRAZY making. I am feeling soooo grumpy today. I can't wait until Thursday.

And my friend who is my GC emailed me today to tell me that she is feeling great and hopeful about the test on Thursday. This has really put me into a funk - I keep thinking, if she was pg she wouldn't feel great, she'd feel tired or nauseous, or crampy from implantation, or SOMETHING, and feeling great is probably a bad sign......

Well, I POAS again, this time a FRER, and it is . The line is faint, but there. Yesterday, the FRER came up negative, so I am cautiously happy. My beta is not until July 7th! UGH! It will be a LONG week. Good thing we have our family to keep us occupied this weekend I am terrified to think this is real. Does that make any sense?? Any words of wisdom or help on how to enjoy this and relax ?
