Good Afternoon ladies--
So today is 15dpo and I broke down and tested this morning. I was so scared of just getting another negative--- but there it was BFP! I couldn't believe it. Called DH at work bawling. MIL was at the store helping and DH is not good at being discrete so she knows, which is fine, but I won't be able to surprise her. Thank you all for your support and encouragement.

Okay, um, OMG!!!! Just got the call from the nurse on my beta today++++++++++++++! I tested negative on HPT's up until 9dp5dt. I stopped testing, I have NO symptoms, I have always always gotten symptoms. esp sore (0)(0) when I have gotten pregnant. That's why I was so sure I was not preggo, I even took Ibuprofen yesterday because of my sore neck. I could kick myself today. My HCG was only 123, seems a little low for 11dp5dt (17po). But it is a possitive and I will take it.

So, Impatient08- listen to these girls, there is still hope.

Kerrymv- Great news

I hope all our other BFP's are still doing good, it sounds like it!

Yippee Awesome news.

tam and impatient - Congratulations!!!!!

Impatient - will you go in for a beta? I recommend it!

I went in for my 2nd beta today - still waiting for results. Here's the funny thing - i told my lab technician my beta and he said that was a "normal" or "elevated" beta for a non-assisted cycle. He said that 1st betas are generally lower for those who go through IVF due to the hormones involved. Anyone else heard that?

Congrats tam and impatient!!

Got my beta results..... 106!
Re is figuring singleton. We put back two....

Flon and impatient- That is GREAT, GREAT news! Impatient- when is your beta?

mmmkkk- keep us posted, it is right around the corner

Brave- That is so nice to see the sac on ultrasound, glad to hear it

Kerry- I have not heard that about the beta's. Did you get your results back today?

AFM- My second Beta is Friday...anxiously awaiting.....Many milestones to get through.

[impatient08]

Hey all,
I will probably not be doing a BETA as the OB didn't reccomend one. She wants me to come in fairly soon for an u/s, so we will probably be scheduling that for the beginning of the year.

[kerrymv]

flon - HUGE CONGRATS to YOU! This board is really on a roll. That's a great beta - i had a beta of 105 for my DD so agree it sounds like singleton!

AFM - 2nd beta in at 560!!! Ultrasound scheduled for 12/28 - the day before my 7 year anniversary. WOOO HOOO!!!

[tam03]

Kerry- Good 2nd beta! Did you find any info on what the lab tech told you? And yes it appears this board is definately on a roll!!

[HopeforVA]

Oh my goodness! I was distracted with work yesterday and just checked in... WOW!!! This group is beating the average odds in a CRAZY way! 2 more BFPs?!!

DOUBLE CONGRATULATIONS to Tam and Impatient! I am SO HAPPY for you both. I wish I could give you those jumping up and down smiley faces, but I have no clue how to make them! YAY! YAY! YAY!

Impatient - Don't worry about not getting a beta - wondering about the number is just something else to obsess over. Celebrate the BFP, pray for this BFP to be a keeper, and look forward to your u/s, momma!

Tam - Good luck with beta #2! Yes, there are always more milestones, but you got to stop and celebrate the good ones when they come - this is a great one!

Flon - Sounds like a solid beta to me! Congrats! Do you get an u/s date soon?

Kerry - Wow - great beta. So glad you get an u/s before your anniversary! Hoping for lots of good news to celebrate! (And yes, my RE said that betas are normally lower for IVF cyclers than non-assisted folks, and lower yet for those who have ICSI-IVF). So yours sounds really high - maybe you've got more than one in there. Or maybe you're just the exception that proves the rule - some people do produce higher levels of HCG and only have one. Only the u/s will tell!

mmmkkk - I've got a great feeling about you! I think you'll be joining the club very soon!

Braveface - Can't wait until Friday to hear whether you've got one or two in there! So excited you're almost at your second u/s! Is it feeling real yet?

OnlyHope - Fingers crossed you get to see your HB on the 20th! That's right around the corner.... I know not everyone's HB starts on the exact same day, but I hope yours does!

AFM - So my beta #2 is tomorrow! Hoping for another good increase and an u/s date for the calendar -- I need a date to look forward to!

[flon831]

Wow! What a great group!
I am going for a 2nd beta on Friday and then hoping to schedule u/s from there.I know there is no "magic number" but what are we looking for? Double? Triple? Just increase?
Thanks everyone!
