Jessica. We are pretty close on transfer dates. I transferred on the 28th of June. I tested 3dp5dt and got a negative. At least that told me the trigger shot was out of my system. I just tested again yesterday (5dp5dt) and got a positive. I took another test a few hours later and got a negative! And...I just tested now and got another positive. It is like a big head game that I am playing with myself. Anyhow, I am cautiously optimistic. I think the HCG in my system is pretty low, so the inconsistency in my tests. But I have also gotten a little queasy the last two days - just a few hours in the afternoon. Don't know what that means. Anyhow, I am going to try to stay off the HPT's. It is such a hard habit to kick!

I know, wouldn't that be wonderful. Some of us just get a whole different fertility journey. At this point, I have stopped beig secretive about any of it. Lots of people know, and I am much more laid back and relaxed.
Good luck, Hope those numbers keep on climbing!!

Stacy, I did a frozen transfer so I didn't have to worry about the trigger shot. I tested again this AM and got another negative (5dp5dt). I think I am going to keep testing but I am not going to worry about it. If it's going to work, it's going to work. I just started feeling queasy today. I don't know what that means either. Good luck to you. When is your beta?

Jessica - I didn't get my first positive until 6dp5dt. I even tested the night before and it was negative. The line I got at 6dp5dt was so faint you could hardly see it. I keep saying day 11 is the magic day.

Update .... another "PREGNANT" on my digital HPT this morning.... 2 days away from my beta. Why are the days dragging along.... arrrgh!

hoping things are improving inside me.... thats the problem with these HPTs... I wish they would deisgn more sophisticated ones which would give you the HCG number... so you can at least see if things are progressing. Oh well, I guess thats what these clinics are for....

anyone else with betas coming up ?

Beta #3!

Wish me luck, ladies!! I am going in for beta #3 tomorrow and am the level has continued to tripled or even double over the weekend. We are super nervous and anxious. My CBE +/- was still positive this morning, just lighter than what I would have expected it to be 19dpER. I had not tested since Friday and I used a digital then so I can't compare. Anyone with experience using CBE +/-?

Anyway, I know there are others with betas this week, so good luck! I hope we all get what we have been praying and wishing for!!

Jessica I just looked at the two tests I did on 5dpt (5dt) and both have a line so faint I couldn't see it well until today (it's now 6dp5dt). But the line is there...yet I didn't see it yesterday at all. I actually am a test addict and started testing at 3dpt LOL

I used a first response gold test today and got a "YES" (I did one of those each day and got a no until today).

And don't wait for beta date girls LOL I called my doc and said I was coming in tomorrow (beta is supposed to be wed). She laughed and said ok, she'll do one monday and one wed to see if it's progressing well

ladies, I have been reading these posts trying to decide when is a good time to start POAS. I'm 8dp3dt..How early did you ladies get a HPT? Did many of you get a BFN first becuase you tested too early. I tested early last week to see if the trigger was gone and it was but have been hesistant to start POAS too early because I dont want to see the dreaded single line. BUT I also have no willpower and am starting to go insane with this 2ww!! my beta is 7/12...

MAK27- I tested 6dp3dt and saw the faintest line (almost invisible) I kept testing everyday after that and saw darker lines by 9 and 10dp3dt, they were still lighter than the control line but definetly there. My beta was 13dt3dt and was 106.

I waited out my 2ww here and keep coming back to see what's new Hope this helps.

Happy Monday

Kelb, good luck with beta today! numbers are doing well.

Igloochic, you're so right about not waiting. My u/s is on 7/16 but I'm going to see my ob sooner for another beta and maybe u/s-who can wait 2 weeks? NOT ME lol

Mak27, it may still be early but you can probably test today-you may get a +

Emmysmom, can I ask a personal questions? If you're not comfortable answering, I won't be offended. I saw ypur signature says ectopic. Was this from ivf or natural conception? I'm wondering because I was fearful this weekend of having an ectopic due to cramping, low back pain and some on/off sharp pains.

Posted this over in June IVF too, so please disregard if you've seen it already...

Ok ladies, so you know how some of you were saying something about twins because of my beta numbers? Well, I had the first u/s this morning, and there *may* be a second baby (gulp!). There's definitely a clear view of a sac with one baby in it with a heartbeat, but then the Dr. found another flutter and light gray mass off to the side, but no other obvious sac/baby. So they're having me come in next week for another u/s to see what's going on in there. She said that it happens sometimes this early, but I'm wondering how you can see a heartbeat and pretty much nothing else. Any of you ever heard of this?

I am amazed at all that is happening on here!!! I confuse myself trying to do to many personals, but I want to say
to the newbies! We're so glad you can join us!

Congrats on all the BFP's!! That is AWESOME. I swear there's a new one everyday!

For the ladies that weren't successful this time around. I'm that you get the desires of your hearts!!

And for all the ladies who are still in the 2ww--Hang in there! I know it's torture, but we're here for you if you need to pass the time!

Emmysmom, can I ask a personal questions? If you're not comfortable answering, I won't be offended. I saw ypur signature says ectopic. Was this from ivf or natural conception? I'm wondering because I was fearful this weekend of having an ectopic due to cramping, low back pain and some on/off sharp pains.

All my ectopics were natural, this was my first IVF cycle. I had surgery in march 2009, and they clamped the stumps of my tubes as close to the uterus as possible to hopefully prevent anymore problems.

If it makes you feel any better I've had AF like cramps, bad back pain in one area and sharp pains on and off too. And hopefully all is well, my ultrasound is july 15, I guess now that I have no tubes I am not "high risk" and don't get a 6 wk ultrasound. But if you are worried get it checked out! My second ectopic, I just went to the ER because I was a little crampy in one area and was worried about it (but thought I was just being paranoid) turned out my tube had ruptured and I was bleeding internally. I had to have emergency surgery within the hour.

I that you and your little bean are fine
