frombabyRN, wow! What a great story you have there! And quite the fighter! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story! I am so nervous about tomorrow, I am chewing off my fingernails.. I just wish I had some symptoms to speak of.. There is nothing! Besides being extra tired, nothing! Isn't that funny that most women suffering with IF want to have pregnancy symptoms? LOL.. Good luck to you! I am hoping for the best for tomorrow..

frombabyRN, pdeupree - thank you for the inspiring stories! wow...I'm so grateful for all you supporters that have come out to share your stories. This is very encouraging. Good luck on rest of your pregnancy journeys.

Carrie- my goodness, I know what you mean by how slow time seems to be moving. I thought waiting time to get the 1st beta was brutal. We'll have to take it one step at a time. I'm just hoping we make it towards some U/S visits. I don't have any symptoms except full boobs (not sore though). But I'm also taking 2cc of PIO, delesterogen injections 2x a week and estrace/prog suppositories. Are you taking any of these? The dr added the delesterogen injxn last Thursday night(the night before 1st beta) and upped my PIO from 1cc to 2cc. I'm wondering whether doing this started to get my betas rolling. I still don't know why the added changes a week after my transfer. I was never tested for esterogen/prog levels after transfer. Now I'm wondering if it would have made a diff if they were added a bit earlier? I had 62 follicles (52 mature eggs, 49 fert, 25 frozen blasts) taken out at ER, so maybe my hormones were wacky then. I plan to ask when I see my Dr. on my next visit.

Good luck tomorrow. My hpt line got darker today too. Athough it almost looked squiggly so I have to over analyze and wonder what that means. I'm flying back Friday and race the 2 hours home to then race to the clinic to get it done. I'm praying they'll call me with results.

[dante]

Carri- Good luck today! Wishing you a great beta news.

Dink2D-Good to hear that your line got darker too. Have a safe trip on your flight and wishing both of us good luck tomorrow.

[goldenhicks]

Thank you for thinking of me Dante! I certainly will keep you updated.. I am praying for the best.. Good luck to you tomorrow too!! Luv and hugs to you girl..

GOOD LUCK TODAY CARRIE (GOLDENHICKS) !

for a great BETA for you today !!

[goldenhicks]

Thanks Wannabe! You are too sweet.. I feel like my gut is going to drop out of my body, I'm so nervous.. This is ridiculous! Cruel and unusual punishment.. LOL.. They should be able to do an immediate test right then and there and let you know if everything is ok! LOL.. Thanks honey, and I'll let you know if there is reason to celebrate, or reason to curl up and cry.. Hopefully it is the first one.. Luv to you girl!! Hope you are doing OK!!

[dante]

Carrie- Talk about immediate results and major pressure. Tomorrow when I go in, I get the b/w done, wait in the office for 30 minutes to get the result and depending on that, either I get my intralipid infusion or not (meaning they're going to see if they think it's worth doing or not). I'm just a little worried b/c I got my 1st two beta done at the local lab, but I'm getting my 3rd one done at the RE's office. I've read that it's not good to compare diff lab values b/c it can be inconsistent. So I've been stressing about that as well.

[dizzyb]

Can't wait to hear your results! My beta was only 15, and the morning of my beta I had spotting, that turned into heavy bleeding with clots and cramping for 3 days!

On tues. I saw the HB and the kiddo is measuring perfect!

[dante]

dizzyb- Congrats on seeing a healthy h/b! It must have been so relieving to see the little bean's heart flicker. I am so glad that things turned out well. I hope the rest of us can make it that far in the near future.

[goldenhicks]

Wow Dizzyb, that's fantastic! I love stories like that! congrats on your pregnancy!!

Dante, wow girl, that is pretty stressful! But, I have a feeling you will have a nice suprisingly high beta tomorrow, and I wish you all the luck in the world!! I'm sure you'll be fine with the "switching RE's" for bloodwork..

AFM, well, my beta doubled today and I am officially !! It was 73 today, and the nurse was extremely happy with that. They don't even want another blood test which I find a bit odd, but I'll take it! They are going to call me tomorrow with my 6 week ultrasound date. I can't believe this is really happening. I just can't believe it. It's been 5 years of hell, and what started as my worst cycle yet has now become the best one ever. It is certainly a weird feeling to think about myself being able to walk into a baby store or a maternity store and not have to feel nothing but sadness and longing. I can be happy again! Truly happy and excited about life again. I just have to make it through to my first appointment and hopefully see that little flickering heartbeat, and then I will truly know that everything is good.. Thank you all so much for your words of comfort and advice. Much luv to all of you, and Dante, girl, keep me updated, OK? I wish you all the luck in the world for tomorrow, but I don't think you'll need it! Take care everyone!

[socaintexas]

That is awesome news! Congratulations!!!

[dante]

Carrie - I was thinking of you ALL day!! I'm soooo happy that your beta more than doubled. You are officially PREGO woman. I will DEF let you know how mine goes tomorrow as soon as I get back. I plan to be obsessive and beg my nurse for a 4th beta if I make it that far just to make sure. Keeping my crossed. My tentative 1st u/s is next Friday if all goes well.

Hope you get good rest for the next coming week and enjoy your prego moments for now!

dink2D- good luck on your beta tomorrow!

[Dink2D]

Congratulations Carrie. That's great news.

Dante good luck to you too tomorrow. I've gotten bright pink spotting today so I'm really flipping out. I'm praying it's nothing but until I get that test score back I think I may be just completely neurotic.

I been lurking around checking on you - but I wanted to say Congratulations! and I hope that everything goes smoothly from here on out. There's nothing impossible to God - keep your faith. I also waited 9 years to have another baby and with a little faith and prayers and doctor's help too we are also finally here. I'm soooo very happy for you and I love love stories like this. CONGRATULATIONS!
