Congratulations for all of our BFPs and (((big hugs))) to those that need them!

Beta is tomorrow. I started having a little spotting last night (10dp3dt), which is really unusual for me while on progesterone so I'm hopeful that it means good news instead of AF.  Also, this morning after taking my vitamins, I got fairly nauseated, which is really unusual for me.  The only other time that happened was during my brief BFP last year.  So, hopefully it is another indication that a BFP is on the way!!

QOTW:  We're just going to my brother's house for game night this NYE, so very low-key.  I went out last year for NYE and had a great time but I think for the most part I'm over it.

Good morning snowbunnies!  I finally started getting positives on home tests (wondfo, FRER and digi) on Sunday, 2 days after my beta was a horrible but positive 6.6, and the lines are getting darker.  I'm hoping that's a sign that it more than doubled, since the cutoff for home tests is usually at least 20 I think?  Beta #3 is tomorrow and I'm so nervous.  I'm still having quite a bit of spotting, which has been heavier the last 2 afternoons and now includes some cramps, but it lets up later in the evening.  I called my RE's office this morning, but they are still closed so who knows if I'll get a call back or not.  Maybe my progesterone is dipping in the afternoons?  Who knows.  I'm ready to be out of beta hell and just know what's going on.  This has definitely been the most stressful part of this whole cycle!  Can't wait to see everyone's updates!

** ticker warning ** 

 

Congrats to all the BFPs and hugs to everyone else.  Good luck to all the upcoming betas!

Update: so far, my blood tests have been good.  I had another hormone check on Monday, my estrogen is now over 2500 and my progesterone is still over 240 (they don't give you a number over that, just "over 240").  I'm REALLY bloated.  My first u/s is 1/4, next Friday.  Aside from the bloat, I'm not really having a lot of symptoms, so I'll feel much relieved after the u/s if everything looks good.

QOTW: No NYE plans.  I've never been a big partier, so I'm always just happy to relax on NYE.


TTC #1 7/10, Me (31)- Dx DOR (AMH 0.6); DH (30)- normal
BFP on Cycle #8. Natural M/C at ~8 weeks
IUI #1 and #2 (8/12, 9/12)- 50 mg Clomid + Ovidrel = BFNs
IVF #1 (EPP) 13R/10M/9F, 5DT 1-4AA blast, beta #1-148, beta #2-322, 5 frosties!
3/18/13 - It's a Girl!
4/18/13 - A/S- baby looks perfect, but partial placenta previa
6/10/13 - Partial PP not resolved. :-( Likely scheduling c-section for 36 weeks

Beta #2 was Friday and came in at 712 with progesterone coming in somewhere around115 (up from somewhere in the 80's). Beta #3 was this morning and I'm anxiously awaiting the call from my nurse. I had a terrible dream last night about non-rising beta numbers...IF is a head trip and I'm pissed that I can't enjoy being pregnant because of it.

Rooting for al of the snow bunnies!

QOTW: We were invited to a few parties and have dinner reservations but hanging out on the couch is sounding better and better.



The Best Darn BLOG on the bump...I kid, but seriously!
Unmedicated and medicated IUI's: all fail IVF #1: Dec 2012 26r/16m/15f 12/9: 5dt of 2 beautiful blasts and 5 frosties TWINS! 3/9: 15w4d Baby A PProm 3/9-3/22: Hoping and Praying like never before. Bedrest and pure hell 3/22: Baby A cord prolapse 3/25: 2 baby boys born sleeping Currently: Doing my best to pick up the pieces and find hope.

Good morning ladies!! Congrats to all the BFPs and ((HUGS)) to those who need them!

I couldn't hold off from testing and I got a BFP on a FRER on Saturday (!!!). I have been compulsively testing daily since then with the same results. Other than being really tired all the time, I've been cramping on and off, but no spotting, so I think that's a good sign?

I'm spending my day waiting on my beta results. I'm a little nervous since I'm leaving the country Sunday for two and a half weeks, I won't have the standard monitoring...but we knew that going into this cycle.

QOTW: I will be somewhere between London and Tanzania New Year's Eve, which is insane! If I didn't have this work (turned mostly vacation) trip planned, we'd probably go out to our favorite dive for dinner, home by 9:00 and asleep by 12:30. I've been over the NYE parties for a few years. Always a let down!

Not a lot new here, getting over a cold I have had since Friday, which is good news. Beta 3 is on 12/31. FX for continued good news.

QOTW: No plans for NYE right now, we have been out of town since Friday, so I'm sure something will pop up once we get home.

Congrats to the home testers and good luck to the betas today and the rest of this week. Hugs to those in need.

Good morning snowbunnies!  I finally started getting positives on home tests (wondfo, FRER and digi) on Sunday, 2 days after my beta was a horrible but positive 6.6, and the lines are getting darker.  I'm hoping that's a sign that it more than doubled, since the cutoff for home tests is usually at least 20 I think?  Beta #3 is tomorrow and I'm so nervous.  I'm still having quite a bit of spotting, which has been heavier the last 2 afternoons and now includes some cramps, but it lets up later in the evening.  I called my RE's office this morning, but they are still closed so who knows if I'll get a call back or not.  Maybe my progesterone is dipping in the afternoons?  Who knows.  I'm ready to be out of beta hell and just know what's going on.  This has definitely been the most stressful part of this whole cycle!  Can't wait to see everyone's updates!

I'm a dirty lurker on TTGP and saw your post the other day...fingers crossed for you tomorrow and hope that your positives are super great signs!!

Hello everyone! Congrats to all the bfps and hugs to the bfns. I caved yesterday and poas'd even though I knew it was too early. We did a single fet this past Thursday and ever since I have been mood swinging like a psychopath. I know its due to the meds but this gave me a lil extra reason to be snippy. I think I will frer again on Sunday , the day before my beta just so I'm not super shocked when it does come out.

QOTD: We are going to my bff's house for dinner and chit chat. Its what we do every year and we always have a good time. I figure if beta is bad news I can always get krunk that evening!

Congrats to all those BFP! FX for great numbers to all of us with +hpt. ((hugs)) to those with BFN-so sorry. I just got my blood drawn for my beta-so I am anxiously awaiting the phone call. I'm feeling hopeful-but like others have said, I am too scared to get too excited. But I know that this is something a lot of people deal with so I am just trying to enjoy it for the moment.

Diagnosed with PCOS in June of 2012 Started seeing a RE June 2012 HSG showed a block left tube Hubby's SA showed a slightly low count everything else ok Three rounds of Clomid/IUI-all three rounds IUI were cancelled because follicles never matured.

Praying for the Christmas gift of a lifetime!!! 11/30 Baseline U/S and bloodwork-everything looks great! 12/1 Start Stims 12/11 ER 16R 7M 7F 12/16 ET 12/26 Beta #1 364 12/28 Beta #2 758 12/31 Beta #3 2249 12/31 Ultrasound showed...TWINS!!!!!! 2/4 Ultrasound showed one baby with HR of 174 and one angel baby.

Congratulations to all the BFPs and ((hugs)) to the BFNs and delayed cycles...

I'm 80% sure my AF has arrived...I started spotting yesterday am, it progressively worsened throughout the day (Merry Christmas to us) into today....

Not sure where to go from here.  I knew IUI success was low but remained hopeful.  Kinda just at a loss right now.

Hey ladies!  I posted my 2nd beta this weekend but things are looking good so far.  I go in Friday morning to check my hormones and they will run another beta.  Hoping and praying it's still looking good...like others, I just cannot get excited about this so early and am so scared of something going wrong.  I hate that! Symptoms come and go but the main ones are really sore boobs, fatigue and constant headaches.  No food aversions yet.

As far as NYE...we are going to a friends to hang out and play games.  

Good luck to all the Snowbunnies!!!  Congrats to all the BFPs and hugs to those that need it.

Yay for all of the snowbunnies who receieved BFPs and huge ((hugs)) to those who got BFNs :(

I'm 8dpt and this morning I tested on a HPT and received a faint positive. I'm feeling pretty hopeful. 



QOTW:  Do you have any fun plans for New Year's Eve or are you over it?

As of right now my husband and I do not have any exciting plans! We contemplated going to a fancy dinner somewhere but are leaning towards going to church on New Year's! That's where all of our family and friends will be and we want to be close to them. I think that if we receive not-so-good news this Friday though, we will probably stay at home and do nothing.

Married for 3 years to the love of my life! TTC for over a year. Started seeing RE in April 2012. Lap in July revealed endo covering left ovary and part of my bowels. This will require extensive surgery by a specialist. RE wants us to have babies first because surgery could compromise my ability to carry. Started first round of IVF in August. Ten follies retrieved, eight fertilized, two frosties. IVF #1= C/P *Frozen Embie Transfer scheduled for end of Nov/Dec. Going to transfer 2 frosties if all goes according to plan*
FET # 1 [12/18]: Transferred two "beautiful" embies.
Beta # 1: 126 [BFP!]
Beta # 2: 546
Beta #3: 1618!!
Beta # 4 - 4954!!!!!! Ultrasound 1/18 - Two heartbeats at 121 and 136. Fraternal twins! Um, is this really happening?!

Congratulations for all of our BFPs and big hugs to those that need them!
Beta is tomorrow. I started having a little spotting last night 10dp3dt, which is really unusual for me while on progesterone so I'm hopeful that it means good news instead of AF.nbsp; Also, this morning after taking my vitamins, I got fairly nauseated, which is really unusual for me.nbsp; The only other time that happened was during my brief BFP last year.nbsp; So, hopefully it is another indication that a BFP is on the way!!
QOTW:nbsp; We're just going to my brother's house for game night this NYE, so very lowkey.nbsp; I went out last year for NYE and had a great time but I think for the most part I'm over it.


GL and Fx for your beta tomorrow!
QOTW: Low key family time at home.

2nd ectopic resulted in loss of tube. HSG revealed remaining tube is "severely torqued".
IVF #1: ER 03/29/10; ET 04/01/10: transferred 2 embies; Beta #1 (9dp3dt)- 45; Beta #2 (11dp3dt)- 91= BFP
FET#1: ET 04/18/12: transferred 4 embies; Beta #1: >2 = BFN
IVF #2: ER 06/20/12; ET 6/25/12: transferred 2 embies; Beta #1 on 7/5/12= BFN
8/16: hysteroscopy for polyp removal
11/11: hysteroscopy #2 for yet another polyp removal
FET#2: ET 12/15/12: transferred 3 embies; Beta #1 (9dp5dt): 12/24/12: 426; Beta #2 (11dp5dt): 845= BFP
u/s 1/9= triplets!; miscarried all three on 1/10/13

Second beta was over 2000, and I've scheduled my first ultrasound for January 3!  I've been seriously crampy since about a week since the transfer, but I'm starting to be okay with it because at least it means I'm still pregnant?  And I had a spotting episode over the weekend, but my RE said that what I was describing sounded normal, so I'm trying not to stress out about it too much.  Congrats to everyone who has tested at home, and good luck to upcoming betas!

 

QOTW: My husband made reservations with some friends at a restaurant that I'm not sure I'm going to be able to eat a lot at, so we're trying to figure out how to back up gracefully without making anyone suspicious.  I'm fine with a lazy night at home, though, and getting pizza delivered and kicking back with a movie sounds perfect to me!

Big Congrats to the BFP's and big ol' hugs to those that need them.  I'm on day 6 of stims.  Went to RE for first monitoring appt yesterday and all is looking great.  I have eight 12mm eggs and about twelve other small ones right now.  I started the Ganirelix last night. I go back tomorrow for another monitoring appt.  

QOTW: Our ER may land on Jan. 1 so we are planning on taking it easy for NYE.  We have a couple of friends that also don't have plans, so we might invite them all over to our house for a low key night.

Things are still progressing here :. I have my first ultrasound Jan. 10th. Super excited for it! i think both babies are snuggled up in there.
I'm still dealing with OHSS. I was admitted for a couple days and they drained some fluid out of me. I feel much better but still about 20 pounds over in fluid retention. I had a friend that lent me her maternity clothes so I'm not in sweats or DH's pants everyday. I look pregnant because of it so that cat is out of the bag in my world. Has anyone else shared their positives in the real world?
No plans for NYE. I should get on that!
