So I'm anxiously awaiting the call with today's beta results... this is beta #3. Beta #2, didn't go so well. I got a small increase on Friday's 2nd beta to 339 from wednesday's beta #1 @ 240. Beta doubling calculator puts that at 4 days doubling time... not a good sign. Makes me worry about this BFP being a chemical...

So I made it through the weekend and am just waiting for the call. I really don't have any symptoms aside from the the rare uterine twinge. Really hoping today's ...

I had a lot of cramping yesterday so I broke down and POAS... The FRER totally has 2 lines! I'm trying not to get too excited and wait for the official results of my beta tomorrow but I'm very hopeful and optimistic now.

He said we still have the other frozen blast ...

So I've been reading a lot about health and nutrition lately... and I just read a blog post by a cancer survivor that got me thinking... A lot of times you see these stories of people who encountered some sort of crisis (usually health related), these people tell stories of the dramatic changes they made to thier lifestyle (many times these changes are food, exercise and stress management related) that helped them through the crisis. Well what I was thinking is... I don't want to wait until ...

OK so I'm writing this to try and track how I'm feeling and what I'm doing during this FET cycle. I'm writing this for me as a kind of journal of my experience. If anyone is reading this and finds it helpful in any way, that's just a bonus.

So just to document... after TTC for 2 years and going through tests lots of dr. appointments and DH's surgery (bi-lateral varicoceletomy) we were successful with our 2nd IVF cycle last September/October and I got pregnant with twin boys. 20 ...
