May 2012 Cycle Graduates! All are welcome!

[gradualchanges]

Hi Everyone - Just got my official BFP today (Beta #1=240). I realize I may be jumping the gun a bit here but I'm super excited to start this thread. Hopefully we will have many more joining. All are welcome. Once we have more participants I'll add a status chart to this post so we can keep track of each other...

So EXCITED!!!! I do not think you are jumping the gun, 240 is a great #. how many dpt is this????

[gradualchanges]

Hi Tysa! Thank you for the PM. I'm 9 dpt. We transferred 1 5 or 6 day blast (not really sure how they gage the days for FET but our embie was frozen on day 5 and thawed the day before transfer so I think that makes it a day 6 blast) on 5/7/12.

Gradual - thanks for starting the thread!!! It is so nice to be able to talk to you on here, I was gun shy until I got today's beta but all good. My first beta on Tuesday, 5/15 was 202.3 and today it was 468.4. YIPPEE, I go back in a week for a 3rd beta! I'm very cautiously excited and optimistic!!!

I hope we have many more friends on here in the next few weeks.

Hi rozzigirl! Congrats on your BFP and Welcome. Congrats on the 2nd beta, that's a great increase. Glad to see you made the leap and moved over. I'm happy to have some company here. Waiting for gingly and others from your IVF cycle and my FET cycle to join us too...

I go for my 2nd beta tomorrow and I'm hoping for a good increase as well. With each step forward there's another waiting period before we can start to feel more secure... I've decided everything is going to be great and I'm going about things as if it's already a done deal. If I have a problem, I'll deal with it then. I can't spend my days worrying about things that might not happen!

Gradual - awesome attitude and as of today I adapted that mentality also. Hopefully we will both have wonderful things to discuss for the next several months like pants getting too tight, being tired all of that good stuff. I told my parents last night and that was awesome. My mom has been being treated for breast cancer and then had surgery for lung cancer (completely unrelated last Monday) so this was exactly what they needed so fingers crossed now the good news just keep on rolling!!

Sorry I am late to the party gradual lol! I was just typing on the other board, I have been oober busy lately. Anyhoo...AFM on the BFP. I transferred on the same day you did! So, May 7th I transferred a 6 day blast that had just hatched (fresh cycle). 5dp6dt beta=16.5 (They were keeping tabs on progesterone and did a beta for giggles...turns out I was giggling lol), 7dp6dt beta=56, 9dp6dt=205. I go in tomorrow for my next beta as my RE wants to monitor my everything even though progesterone is above 40...I still take twice a day endometrin and PIO shot at night. Oh, and I get to wear these awesome estrogen patches even though that is above 1100, sigh. I guess its better safe then sorry. So there is my story in a hand bag I have a beta tomorrow, one probably Monday, and the nurse let it slip that I have a scan next Friday.

So, are you ladies still crampy??? The only real signs I have are cramps and tiredness. Oh and hormones that could only be real in a sitcom, lol. I am all over the place with emotion haha!!! Ok, well I will check in tomorrow with the new beta. I see your next beta is tomorrow too gradual; I hope we both have fabulous results And Rozzi when will we find out how many stickys you have in there! I am excited to see...I am going with twins

Gingaly - so very happy that things are going well and your betas keep on going up and up! Definitely let me know how you make out tomorrow. I go again next Thursday for beta and she said if things go well the nurse will schedule my first scan. SO exciting. So I'm thinking 2 weeks until I know what is going on in there. My cramps are more sporadic now but thankfully the spotting has subsided HATED that to say the least. Sleep well and let us know how you make out tomorrow, best of luck.

Gradual - let me know how you made out today.

HI ladies! Gosh, I am such a worrier about these stupid numbers! So the nurse just called to tell me everything looks great and she sounded super excited, but I am kind of nervous because my numbers didn't triple (I know I sound like a total space case right now), here me out...My first two went from 16.5-56 (that's a 3.39 rise, a little over tripled); next 56-205 (3.66 rise, almost quadrupled) today was 590...so from 205-590 (thats only 2.87, so its over double but not as high as I thought it might be ) So anyhoo I am a rookie at betaing I have never made it this far before. Am I just worried about nothing since I probably shouldn't have even had a beta until the 205??? I mean if I just look at today's beta and the one from Wednesday it doubled which is good...Do betas rise extremely fast the first 4-5 days??? OK sorry to sound like a loon. Anyhoo, the nurse said the rest of my numbers are still good. Next beta is Monday, and I have a ultrasound Friday. Sigh. I guess I need to just stop worrying! UGH. I hope you day is going well
