Hello to all the ladies here.I have been lurking the boards for sometime and finally got the courage to post.Honestly I got the courage cause I see how supportive you all are to one another.First off I want to say congrats to all the ladies who got a BFP and good luck to those cycling.

My story is we are doing IUI cause DH has low sperm count all else checks out fine for me.We have done a few IUI's and of course BFN.Well I am currently in my 2ww.I do have some questions since yesturday I have been getting some painful cramps from time to time.Never had them during any other cycle.I know I dont like to look into signs but I searched online and I read a lot of women get implantation cramps.Yesturday was day 7 of my 2ww I also know it could be the progesterone so I am not going to look to much into it just has been a little weird thats all.I am trying to stay positive but after a few BFN's its so hard.I also had a dream the other night that I took an HPT and I saw clearly in my dream that the HPT said "NOT PREGNANT"I woke up Sunday morning and was feeling pretty upset and all day I was just down.Anyway sorry this was so long and thanks in advanc for reading this and taking the time to respond.

Eva, I just want to give you a ((HUG)) and say welcome. I'm glad you finally decided to post. Don't worry about that dream-- I know it's particularly hard because you must have been through it thousands of times (or at least seems like) but don't think of it as a phrophetic type dream; I think it's more of a dream that's showing you your fear. (Not that we need to be shown, we already know!)

I know what you mean about having a down Sunday. I had one too. But, yu're still in the heat of your 2ww, you're still in the game!! Me, I'm warming up right now on CD 8. Doing stretches and fetching water for the girls liek you who are right in the heat of the game :D You have cheerleaders too! We'll get that BFp this time. Just stay strong, eat healthy and drink green tea! :D

Hi Eva, welcome :) and sorry that you and DH have been having a hard time TTCing... DH and I have been trying for 2 years with no luck and are currently just started out on our first IVF cycle. I've never done IUI, so I don't have much info to offer on that, but I do know that no matter how many BFNs you've had, it only takes one, and this could very well be your month!!! -- so pls stay positive (I know how hard that is)...

Are you planning to test soon? :) sending gustfuls of baby dust your way.... :angel:

Take care and pls keep us updated,
Love,
H

Hi Eva! I've posted to you on the 2WW thread, but also wanted to make sure I extend you an official "welcome" to the board. It sounds like you have experienced much of the IF anguish and heartache that many of us long-timers have suffered. My heart goes out to you. I actually really do think the cramping at this point during your cycle is likely a very good sign! As for the dream, don't let it get you down. That is just your worries and fears invading your sleep. I know we've all been there with those bad dreams. I'm sending you lots of positive thoughts and sticky sticky babydust!!!! Will you be having a beta blood test or doing an HPT?

Hi Princess,Hazel and Kari thanks so much for your kind words and your welcoming me here.I am so glad I deceided to post you lsdies seem so wonderful.

Princess thanks so much for the hugs :) I could really use them right now.Thanks for being on the side lines and cheering us on.I will be here cheering you on when its your turn up to bat.

Well ladies I was thinking about testing on Sunday I have beta on Monday and I am scared to death.A few of my girlfriends that know about IF are encouraging me not to take an HPT.I have never taken an HPT before a beta thats why I figured I would do it this time just so I wont have to wait for that awful call.Well ladies thanks again for listening.Take care.

Eva:)

Hey Eva, You know I'm thinking maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to switch it up if you've never HPT'd before. With my last cycle that brought BFP I switched it up myself... I had never ever waited for beta and this time I did and got BFP. So maybe if you do HPT you'll get a nice surprise! Just make sure you don't do it too early... those things have been known to give false negatives on more than one occasion! Hang in there... just a week to go!

Hi Kari thanks so much for the response I appreciate it.I was thinking the same thing you were but my friend reminded me with her first pregnancy she was getting a negitive HPT and she was already 6 weeks pregnant.Honestly I am just so scared to do either beta or and HPT.I had IUI on Monday May 19th so sunday will be 14 dpo.I am trying to hang in there thanks I keep getting those cramps not as bad today but they seem to be reasurring me that it just might be my little embie snuggling in.I guess we will know soon enough.

Eva

Hi Eva, welcome to the boards. Congratulations for making it into the 2ww, I started mine also, we are probably around the same time. I am doing IVF and transfered day 3 embryos last Friday.
I hope your cramping is a good sign, its definitelly something going on in there, which is good.
About HPT's, they never gave me a positive reading, so I am a bit reluctant in doing them, but my Beta is scheduled for june 6th, which is ridiculously long, so I'm not gonna wait.
About your dream, don't worry about that, I always like to remember the good dreams, and the bad ones, I heard that if you look out the window after a bad dream you will forget it. So there, do that next time, out with the bad, in with the good. :)
Take care,
Mady

Hi Mady thanks for welcoming me.First off I want to wish you luck I really hope you get a BFP.Does sound like our cycles were pretty close.I know its so early to look into signs and as much as I say I wont look into them I just cant help it.Maybe the cramping is a good sign yes but maybe its the progesterone.But if it were the progesterone wouldent I have gotten cramps since last week considering I have been on it for a week?As for the HPT I am still thinking about it so I will see how I feel on Sunday morning but of course I have to get the courage to go out and buy one.

As for the dream I have heard that a lot of times they mean the opposite so I hope its the case.In 2 other cycles I had, I saw dreams that I got a BFP so maybe just maybe this time I saw I got a BFN and I will get a BFP.Well we can only pray right?Well good luck again when will you do the HPT?Well hope we hear good news from you.

Eva

welcome Eva....this forum's invaluable. I don't post a huge amount as I don't have half the experience or knowledge of the lovely lassies on here, but I log on multiple times a day :D and follow people's progress and learn an awful lot.

That 2ww is the hardest part of the cycle without a doubt. I always start the month positive and looking forward, then slowly the doubts and worries creep in...BUT....there's been a lot of good news and BFPs on here recently, and I take hope from them.

I'm on Clomid and DH has a low sperm count, and I'm Oing right about now. Today's our anniversary, so for once it's timed right and we're both off work:D

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi Eva and welcome, Im sorry your TTC has been so tough. Ive never done IUI but have done IVF which resulted inme getting OHSS so after E/R they did a freeze all, we have 9 embies. I have started my FET cycle but I havent done the transfer yet as my body is not being very co-operative hopefully in a week or so I will be joining the 2WW.

I wish you all the best and I hope that the next week flys by and ends in a sticky BFP.

Cashahn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Eva,

Welcome to the boards. This is by far the best place to come to for questions and advice, so if you need anything, just ask!

As for the cramps, I think it's a GREAT sign. That's the very first thing i felt was little cramps here and there starting around 5-6 days after ovulation. In my case it was the egg retrieval cuz we did IVF, but your timing sounds just about right for your cycle!:)

Keep up the positive thoughts!:D

Eva, yes cramping could come from the progesterone, but its still fairly early to be from it. I want it to happen for you, and I am sure that what you are experiencing is implantation.
I have gone through 4 IUI's and I would feel something for the first 3 days, and then nothing. I am very hopeful for you this time, and the timing is right on.
Let me know how you decide with the HPT.
Babydust,
Mady

Cashahn,Bees,and Mady Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement wow you ladies really know how to welcome a newbie.:)I cant thank you all enough for supporting me and giving me all this encouragement.Well I havent had any cramps yet today so who knows whats going on but today is day 9 I had the heavy cramps on day 7 and some but not as many on day 8.Mady I was like you allmy other cycles I had cramping the first few days after IUI and then nothing this time I had none after IUI and only on day 7 and 8.Oh well I guess the only thing we can do is pray right.I feel its all in the hands of the big man.Well ladies thank you again so much.Have a great day all.:)

Eva

Eva, maybe the little guy/s have finnished implanting and are just taking a rest today. Usually, most of the women dont feel anything for the first 2 weeks at least, I mean the 5, 6 day embryo is the size of a dot mark that you make with a pen, so it cant really torture us from the inside. :D
All we can do right now is stay positive and pray.
We both seem to have 77 in our username. You born then also? Whats you RX? We are unexplained.
Mady

Mady you are right all I can do now is keep praying and try and stay positive cause at this point I am either pregnant or Im not thats the way I look at it.The one thing I managed to keep doing through all this is praying I refuse to lose my faith.I strongly believe god has forgotten me or any of us just delayed us a bit thats all.BTW yes I was born in 77 :)Well our issues are with DH low sperm count he has been on the vitamins etc and we are doing IUI.I seem to check out fine O normal etc etc.So you are unexplained that must be harder knowing you both check out ok and havent managed to fall pregnant.Sorry to hear I hope you get your BFP real soon.

I also know its to early for any signs so I am trying my hardest not to get to down.So glad I found you all.Take care.

Eva:)

Hey Eva, Just wanted to send a little more sticky baby dust your way!!!! I'm sure it seems like it's taking forever, but you are getting closer and closer to beta day. I read on another thread how you recently quit your job to focus on getting pregnant. I went through the same thing about a year ago. I traveled a good amount with my job and my DH said he just wasn't comfortable with spending all the time and money with an RE if I was distracted and stressed out. For the most part I think it was a very good decision (even tho I think my poor dad is still losing sleep knowing that all those years of education and those two degrees aren't being put to much use now!). I really don't take my situation for granted... I definitely was stressed out when I did work, and I feel lucky that each time I've cycled, my only stress came from the cycle itself. I have tremendous respect for the full time workers struggling with IF, especially when IVF is involved. There's no way I could do it. This board has been a saving grace as it has helped me stay sane as time passed during all my IF treatments! Anyway, just thought I'd share a bit of my story that I think you can relate to. Hope you are having a good night!!!

Hi Kari thank you so much for the baby dust you are so kind.Rub that baby luck on us to :D Thanks for taking the time and telling me about your situation and how you quit your job.At times I think maybe I should be working but then others I am glad I dont have the stress of work.For the most part I do manage to keep busy with housework cooking and hanging out with friends until DH gets home then we plan on things as well to keep busy so its not to bad. As for this board and all you ladies you are so right, you are all so wonderful.Well quick update on me since last night I have had sore boobs still not getting my hopes up cause it could be the progesterone.Also thinking why havent they been sore considering I have been on the progesterone for 9 days now.Kari since you recently got a BFP when did your boobs get sore around what day do you remember?Thanks in advance.Hope you have a wonderful day.

Eva:)

Hey Eva, '77 was a very good year, wasnt it? ;) Sorry to hear you have low count issues, all the time I wish they would find whats wrong with us and fix it, or at least tell us that we are hopeless so we can look for other options to have a child, but I myself think that our time has not come yet. I get mad, like yesterday, in the parking lot, this woman, which looked pretty beat up, she has this todler in the back seat ( which was eating some pizza, lunch time you know) and she was smoking, in the drivers seat. You can imagine how upset I got, seeing this, its just wrong, how come people like this have no issues having kids, and us, that are responsible and loving people, have to deal with this.
So boobs are hurting now, oh, I so wish this cycle to happen for you. For all of us here. Mine started being sore from before the retrieval, its just the huge amount of hormones I was on. Since yesterday I started feeling like AF is comming, but its just progesterone.
Take care and babydust,
Mady

Hi Eva, sweetie, I just wanted to swing by and check on you to see how you are doing?? All right?? :D I hope so! I just have such a strong positive feeling for you, darling!! I'm going to echo Kari and pile that baby dust on. And also, I love you decision to not work while you're trying. Honestly, I think that's so wise. I wish I could do that, but if I don't work, we'll be fine....but we won't be able to afford IF treatments while still saving to buy a bigger house. But I wish I could take some time off of work while cycling---- it'd save me from haivng to ask for afternoons and mornings off. I don't think they're buying the "doctor" excuse anymore, even though it's all true. But if I tell them why I'm going to the doctor, they'd freak out and do this bomnding "We're a family" thing, which is really just an excuse to be in my business. :jester:
How did I do that? I came here to see about you and I start blathering. :p
Anyway love, I hope you're doing well! Hoping that you're little one(s) is/are snuggled in tight tight tight!

Alright girls, I gotta tell you I think '76 was a darn good year as well!!!! ;););) LOL

Eva, glad you are finding things to keep you busy during the dreaded wait. As for my boobs hurting, well mine also started before transfer. It's no doubt gotten worse over time....what's interesting to me is that early on, it would be pressure on the top of my boobs that was most uncomfortable and now the discomfort is really coming in from the lower part of my boob. I have no idea if that is relevant in any sort of way but it definitely is a recent observation that I have made :o

My fingers are crossed for you girlie... I hope you and your DH are getting prepared for some good news in a few days!!!

Hi Eva, just wanted to stop by and wish you luck. I hope this wait is going okay for you. When is your BETA??? Can't wait for more BFPs around here...and I'm sure you'll be one of them. - April

Mady 77 was a good year DH is also 77 :).Of course Kari 76 was a good year cause we were embies at the time........lol.:D Princess and April thanks so much for your support I appreciate all your positive vibes.Princess you are always welcome to come here and talk about yourself I am a good listener :).Well Kari I am getting the same discomfort with my boobs they are a bit sore up top and honestly I really havent gotten sore with any of my other IUI's well other then my chemical I dont think I mentioned I had a chemical.Another thing is this morning when I woke up the were very hot almost felt like they were burning a little weird.Ok well thats all going on with me ladies.Oh April beta is on Monday and I couldent be more nervous.Take care ladies.

Eva

Eva, I know you started this a couple days back- I'm alittle late, but I wanted to welcome you. I'm not posting as much as I used to, I'm taking some time off but I do read the posts and reply every now and then.

I wish you all the luck in the world. I know IF is not fun at all and we really need each other during this difficult time to encourage one another. I'm so thankful for the Ladies here that I have no clue what I would do without them.

Your cramps sound very promising. I know it's hard to not read into every little sign but if those crampy feeling continue or get worse, those could be really good signs, if you know what I mean. Good luck, Hun.

Well Eva, having those sensations surely is not a bad thing... even tho it could be the progesterone messing with you, it could also very well be the early signs of a BFP! Did you decide if you will HPT or not before Monday's beta?

Hello
I am Arnel and i want to discuss about problem my wife and me are facing. Last january my wife lost baby because of her tube ruptured. We again tried for baby but no results found. We finally went to asked for some help and information and she considered as suffering from "infertility". We also went to fertility specialist but results are not better. So if anyone have some information regarding that can please drop message

Hi Pinkie thanks for stopping by and welcoming me that is so kind of you.IF is really tough and I am so glad I ound you all to talk to.Well the cramps have subsided just the sore boobs now but I know that is not a defenite sign.I am just trying not to get ahead of myself.At one moment I feel so positive and the next so negitive.Well thanks for wishing me luck I need all I can get.Whatever you deceide to do good luck to you as well.

Hey Kari well I am still undeceided weather I will take the HPT I just dont know what to do.My friend keeps telling me not to take one to just wait its only one day.I said yeah one day of torture.I am also thinking sunday DH and I are invited to a barbaque and what if its a BFN then I wont want to go or if I do go I will not be much fun you know.I dont know what to do.I will let you all know what I deceide to do.I also know that the sore boobs could be from the progesterone so I am trying not to pay to much mind to it.God I hate the 2ww.Well have a nice day ladies.

Aevans hi and welcome sorry to hear about your loss.I dont understand exactly what you need information on.I was unclear of the issues you and your wife are facing.Well good luck and we are all here for you.

Eva

Hey Eva, Yeah, I agree that if you have a big day planned on Sunday I'd probably avoid the HPT altogether that morning. But just know that whatever you decide, we will definitely be here to support you! The weekend is almost here now and so your beta is right around the corner. Hang in there!

Hi Eva, Kari is right, I wouldnt test either on Sunday if I will have to see people later, I mean if its BFP you probably will not be able to keep the secret, or you will get too worked up. Just try to relax, enjoy, but I would HPT on Monday morning before beta :jester:
Either way, Im sure it will be BFP.
Mady

Kari and Mady thanks so much for being a constant support.Today is one of those days where I just feel negitive I swear this 2ww is enough to put us in the nut house.Mady loved your last remark about it being a BFP either way.:) God I pray you are all right.Well Mady thought about doing the HPT Monday morning but I said whats the point I am having beta done.Well ladies hope you are all having a great day.:)

Eva

Hang in there Eva! Tomorrow is Friday and then you just have the weekend to get through. I agree, you should not HPT on Sunday as you don't want to risk spilling the beans about your BFP (because it will be a BFP!). Sending you strength! - April

Hi April thanks for the strength I really need it right now.Ok ladies I hate to sound like a paranoid nut case but I went to the bathroom a little bit ago and when I wiped there was a little light brown on the tp.I am worried now cause its to late for implantation bleeding.Ok Monday cant get here soon enough.Again thanks for listening.

Eva :)

Eva, don't be too sure about the timing of implantation bleed... did you see Aisleen's thread about implantation? Sounds like hers continued for quite some time. And brownish is good. Hang in there hun... you've definitely still got a chance!

Hey Kari thanks for the confidence but I dont even know if you can say its implantation spotting or what.Today I havent wiped anything but I see in my pantyliner I would say brownish yellowish could be the progesterone but I have been on the progesterone for 10 days and first time I saw such discharge.Also never saw anything like it during my other cycles.Maybe AF is trying to come but cant because of the progesterone who knows.Ok enough of driving myself nuts.I al looking forward to hearing all about your u/s today.Have a wonderful day ladies.

Eva :)

Hi Eva, don't worry about the spotting, It actually happened to me while on vaginal progesterone. Its a bit tough for the cervix, I just couldnt stand it, and the following month they moved me on the endometrin ones. They are smaller dosage at once. It could also be implantation, but I doubt that AF is paying any visits while on progesterone.
Just 3 days til beta for you. :D
Mady

Hi there Mady I figured it was the progesterone as well.In any case Monday is almost here so soon enough we will know whats going on.My mom is coming to visit us on June 8th and the thing is this is the first cycle DH and I deceided not to tell anyone we were doing to save me the question well are u pregnant.We deceided it would be less stressful if only we knew.We were right I am so glad no one knows.Save me from having to tell people BFN if it is a BFN.Anyway I just thought it would be great to have some good news for my mom when she gets here.Ok well enjoy the rest of your day.

Eva:)

Well ladies looks like its over I woke up about 4 am to pee and saw some brown in my pantyliner.Of course I couldent sleep again just kept crying and crying.At this point I just dont know what more I can do.Its on to IVF and dont even know when we will have enough for that I guess thats what banks are for huh.I am so scared of doing IVF I was praying so hard this would work so we wouldent have to go to IVF.Oh well we all here know life just doesnt work out the way we want it to.So I stopped my progesterone and really since 4 am I havent really spotted just a tiny bit.I just wish AF would hurry up and get it over with so I can go to the beach next weekend.:cool:Well ladies I will give you all the official BFN news tomorrow after beta.Why do I even have to go in for beta whats the point.Ok enough of my whinning.Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting me.Take care and I wish all the others better luck then I had.

Eva :)

Eva, I'm so sorry the spotting has started. If you haven't spotted much since then, maybe it's not AF? I'll be hoping that's the case and you get a nice surprise tomorrow. - April

Thank you April I appreciate your support.Well I havent really spotted all day.Still feel its AF but I just think she is waiting for the progesterone to be out of my system.Anyway just being realistic here I pretty much know its over but beta will confirm that tomorrow.At least this way I wont have to wait all day to hear that awful call when I already know the outcome.I think I am getting over it already.Well DH and I are on our way to a barbaque now I dident feel like going but DH thinks it might be good to get out for awhile and socialize maybe he is right I just need to stop feeling sorry for myself.Well have a wonderful afternoon all.

Eva :)

Oh Eva, I am sorry that you gave up the hope this month, but the show its not over till the fat lady sings. I hope you have a great surprise tomorrow from the blood test.
Mady

Oh Eva, I am so so sorry :( I wish I could find the right words to make you feel better. I do know there is still a bit of hope as AF never showed full force so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Hang in there sweetie.

Hi Eva,

I'm so sorry you had some spotting & feel like this cycle didn't work. I probably wouldn't want to go to beta either. But, like the others, I am holding out hope that you will get a surprise bfp today. Thinking of you & sending you hugs.

Holly

OMG OMG OMG BFP RE did b/w asap and called me.:blob_fire:bouncing::blob_fire:bounci ng: I cant believe it ladies I thought it was a BFN really I had no signs.RE saw how upset I was this morning so he had b/w done real fast so I wouldent have to wait all day.He did tell me the spotting was very normal.I was so at a lose of words I forgot to ask RE my #'s because he said to me your #'s are real high we might have twins or triplets in there:dizzy:When he said triplets I lost my words.So anyway he wants me to go in 2 weeks for u/s.Ladies thank you all for your support I will be right here cheering you all on.Thanks love you all.

Thanks Princess I appreciate your wonderful support.I dont mind recaping DH low sperm count me fine went through several IUI's one chemical changed RE's now 2nd IUI with this RE and BAM BFP.Possible multiples.I still cant believe it of course I am calm and doing my best not to tell people yet.Its so hard I just want to yell it.I had very little brown discharge yesturday monring and stopped my progesterone I thought AF was coming had an awful day cried yelled at DH etc.Well when I called him he said see and you were yelling at me yesturday............lol.Poor guy has dealt with my crazy moods.We have been married almost 4 years so it has been a long road to finally get here.I thank all you wonderful ladies for your support you are all wonderful and will get your BFP's soon.I almost gave up hope and look.One thing I can say is I never gave up on god I knew he wouldent forget me.So ladies keep praying thats what I did.Take care and again thank you.

Eva

Eva, that is amazing! So very, very inspriing. You're right, we can't lose faith, and have to reemmber that our turn is coming. I'm so glad that you are doing so well! Poor Dh, putting up with the mood swings! but, it all comes with IF, we all have to deal with our share. :) But look at you now!!! :D :bouncing: It was a pleasure to be here for you and support you, Eva, and you so deserve this! :angel: You are going to be an excellent Mommy!

Thank you so much Princess you are so sweet.I think you will make a wonderful mother as well.So like I said dont lose faith.:angel:

Eva

Eva!!!! I'm so excited for you!!! Congratulations!! Sounds like you got some great beta numbers there. :D:D:D:D Just goes to show, you never know. ;) Enjoy every second of this wonderful time.

Holly

Thank you Princess you are so kind.I have only been on here a week and have grown to love you all.I will defently stick around to support you all.I will never forget how wonderful you all were to me.

Holly thanks so much looks like we posted at the same time.It does show that you just never know and thats why I keep saying not to look into signs even though I did.Well thanks again.

Eva:)

Congrats Eva!!! I had a feeling since you only spotted a tiny bit...and then nothing! Well done!!! You've got US in two weeks, but will you have a follow up BETA? You'll have to ask for those numbers...we're crazy about the numbers here! - April

OMG Eva, I said you might be surprised, oh how I love it when I'm right. :blob_fire:blob_fire:blob_fire:blob_fire
Congratulations my dear, to you and to your DH.
Keep us posted,
Mady

OMG Eva!!! A HUGE CONGRATS!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! What a wonderful, wonderful surprise! Another perfect example of why we must never lose hope!!! Happy (((hugs)))!!!!!

April,Mady and Kari thank you ladies so much.Ok so DH and I go out to buy an HPT and it came up negitive????????????OMG now I am freaked out.Could I have done something wrong for it to be a BFN.So now I am worried what if they mixed up my b/w?????????I mean I saw my name on the bottle when they took it.UUrrrgggg why can I ever see a + HPT.

Eva

Hmm, it must have been broken. Your office said beta was pretty high, so any HPT should pick that. Get a different brand. Dont worry, office didn't make a mistake, they do this for a living, you are pregnant and congratulations once again.
mady

Thanks Mady I am just being crazy I know but I cant help it.I asked RE if I should come back in for beta he said you dont have to but if you want to you can come in Thursday or friday you can.I might just do that or I might just go to the lab right here close to my home.That just goes to show how it is possible for a false negitive from an HPT.I agree I dont think RE's office made a mistake.Thanks again Mady.Cant wait to cheer you on.BTW where are you in you cycle?I am so out of it.

Eva

Hi Eva, yeah, those HPT's are quite evil. :mad: We've had countless instances of false negatives since I've been on this board. I agree with Mady... try another brand and do it in the morning. And I'd also take your RE up on doing another beta, which I'd think they'd want to do anyway. Did he give you your beta # results from this morning when you phoned back???

Hey Kari and thannks for your ongoing support.Looks like we are close in our pregnancies :).Well DH said I am not allowed to buy another HPT.........lol.I think he is right though.He said if RE said you are pregnant then thats it you are.Well I never called him back today I might call him tomorrow.I dont care about the numbers all I care about is that its a healthy BFP and he said it looks real healthy as of now.Well if I go in for another beta my nurse always gives me a copy of my b/w so I am sure she will.Thanks again Kari.Hope you and the triplets are well.

Eva

Ok ladies so I called my nurse to get my beta.She dident have the chart in front of her but she said she remembered the beta was in the 400's.I asked her if I was really pregnant and she laughed and said you are sweetie......lol.So there we go at least we know the numbers well almost that is.Hope you ladies are all well and have a wonderful day.

Eva:)

Thanks Eva...those numbers are always fun to hear. If they were in the 400s, I would say you've either got a REALLY healthy baby in there...or more than one! Remember, Kari was in the 600s for her first one...and she's got 3! I'll be looking forward to your ultrasound which seems too far away right now! I dont' know how you're dealing with the waiting! - April

April you are welcome.I do recall Karis numbers and I have a feeling from the begining I have twins.Even though RE said twins or maybe triplets I dont think its triplets.I dont know how I will deal with 2 weeks of waiting but I am not going to stress over it.I am going to try and stay as calm and cool as possible cause yesturday was so overwhelming I barely slept.Thanks again for your support.

Eva :)

Hi Eva! That is so reassuring!!! Congrats again! You certainly have potential of multiples, but I'm sure you feel the same as I do... one, two, three... as long as they are healthy now and healthy when they are born. It's a blessing regardless! So did you decide on no follow-up beta? I think you said you'd have an u/s next week?

Hi Kari thank you for the congrats.Dont get me wrong I will welcome all children god sends me but twins was overwhelming to hear on the phone but when he said possibly triplets my mouth dropped........lol.I guess god doesnt give us anymore then we can handle.I just pray my babies are healthy look at me saying babies before I even know how many.BTW Kari my u/s is the monday after yours so I still have a long wait.I will be 6 weeks then. I guess we just have to be patient huh?After all we been through I think we have patience.Well have a nice day.

Eva :)

Ok ladies went in for 2nd beta just to put my mind at ease cause that darn HPT scared me and to top it off I have barely any signs of pregnancy.Which for that I thank god.So we are at 948 second beta numbers. :D.Now I feel so much better.Hope all you ladies are well.

Eva :)

Those are great second numbers Eva! I'm glad you can put your mind at ease for the wait until your ultrasound. Good luck! - April

Thanks April it really did put my mind at ease I even asked for a copy of the beta...........lol.Just wanted some proof..........lol.:D

Eva

Oh beautiful Eva! Very well done! It's definitely reassuring when you know that the HCG is doing exactly what it's supposed to! Like another weight being removed from the heavy shoulders of an IF sister! More congrats coming your way!!!:angel:

Thanks Kari it does feel great to see HCG is doing what its suppose to.I still just cant believe I am pregnant its crazy.DH and I went to the mall last night just to pass some time and we were looking at baby stuff strollers car seat etc.DH was like OMG if twins all this x2........lol.Of course we are not buying anything yet just looking at whats out there.I cant beleive we are looking for baby stuff for our baby.Seems like I am always buying things for my GF's kids.Ok enough of my blah blah.Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Hi Eva,

I just read through all of your posts and wanted to give you a big CONGRATULATIONS!!! :) I am currently 10 weeks pg. with twins. It is such a surrell time. Enjoy every minute of it because it really does go fast. It seems like just the other day I was posting my results here.

Hi Teach and thanks so much for the congrats.Congrats to you as well.Wow twins how great well I still dont know if I have twins but it will be such a blessing.May I ask what your beta number was?I am just curious to see if my numbers are high or normal for a singleton.Well thanks again for taking the time to give me your congrats.Have a great day.

Eva:)

Hi Eva,

Well, my numbers aren't that impressive. I was hospitalized with OHSS before my first test. My RE said that he was fairly confident that I was pg. since I had OHSS so severely. So, he did my test a little early. I had my first HCG test 9 days after my transfer!!! My first beta was 160 and my second one was 320, so I'm not a good judge on that. I think most people have to wait an entire 14 days. Sorry I couldn't help more, but your numbers do seem pretty high, so there definetly could be two in there!! It is shocking at first, but once it sinks in, it is pretty amazing that you are blessed with two babies!!! My DH summed it up pretty good by saying that we were lucky because not everyone gets two at one time!!!

Good luck, I will be looking forward to hearing about your first u/s.
Teach

Hi there Teach thanks for responding.I did have beta on day 14 since I did IUI.I thought my numbers seemed high as well.Anyway I know everyone is different so I shouldent compare right.Sorry to hear you got so sick but in the end it was all for a good cause.I wont know for sure until the 16th of June how many we have but RE made it sound like he was so positive we have at least 2 in there with such high numbers.Oh well like your DH said we are blessed with 2.I did want twins just so I wouldent have to go through IF treatment again.Well good luck with your pregnancy I will have to visit the pregnancy boards real soon so I will see you there. :)

Eva :)
