Beta Results

I had my second beta drawn on Monday April 26th. My number was 7,038 -my hcg level is doubling every 2 days, just as it should.
• Estradiol=465 (want to see above 200-300)

• Progesterone=58 (want to see above 25)
We are still right on track so everything stays the same as far as meds.

My ultrasound is set for Thursday May 6th! I am so excited- IM and her Mom are flying in for it! IF tried to rearrange his schedule but wasn't able to get the time off. I think it will be wonderful to meet the future Grandma!

I have been a little sick-ish in the mornings. Try to keep it at bay by eating a light breakfast. Sometimes it helps, others not so much. It's not too bad though!

Morning sickness

It's started. I got super nauseous this morning right after my shower. Hopefully It will only last a couple weeks. I was able to keep under pretty good control last pregnancy by eating smaller meals more frequently during the day and keeping a very bland diet in the first trimester. Fingers crossed its the same this time. I have my second beta Monday. No dates yet for an ultrasound! It should be within the next week or so, I think!

Results are in...

My beta results are in. At 12dp3dt, the RE was looking for thehcg number to be anywhere over 50. Mine was 630.
Progesterone he wanted over 25 and mine was 72 and my E2 level should be over the 200-300 range and mine was 866. All levels are good, meds stay the same. HcG level should double every 2-3 days and I will have a repeat draw on Monday the 26th.
I'm feeling pretty good. Haven't had any symptoms since the cramping a few days after transfer.
I talked to my IP's this evening and they are just giddy as can be!I am so happy to be helping them!

Heading out now...

I am about to go have my first Beta drawn (quantitive hcg). Won't get the results for a few hours.... Hoping for a nice strong number and then I will be able to tell my IP's they will be parents by year's end!
Be back soon!

No denying it...

Congrats to my wonderful IP's! They are going to be parents. EDD according to the online pedictor...CHRISTMAS DAY!!!
I can't wait to share the pictures with them. I am going to mail them and they will hopefully recieve them on beta day!

testing, testing...1..2....

 I started testing Sunday afternoon and by Monday night I had my first faint BFP. I was 5.5dp3dt (5 and a half days post 3 day transfer). I have continued to test and with each one the test line is getting a little darker. :-) My IP's do not want to know the results -so I haven't shared the big news with them, yet. here's the pictures...

This morning was a first for me...I injected my pio, pulled back the syringe and BAM...blood. Hmph...hit a vein? Missed the muscle? Either way I had to prick myself an extra time. Oh well.

Cramping

Not much to report except I have started to have a little cramping last night, and it has continued through today. I have tested twice and both were negative. I still expect to see negatives even through tomorrow and hope to get a BFP on Wed or Thursday. I know with frozen and 3dt implantation is later...so I wait...patiently (or not so much) ...for another week, until my beta.

I'm Back!

Arrived home last night. Picked up the kids from my mom's, had dinner then got in about 10pm. I was tired!

Transfer was on Wednesday, April 7th at 10:45 in the morning. We put in 3 frozen embies. I know if you aren't familiar with IVF...hearing 3 is a bit frightening... but just by using the frozen embryos, the chance of pregnancy with one is 50%, twins 25% and trips less than 5%. That doesn't take into consideration the quality of the embryos. Lots of factors that play into the game. Anyways, my uterus looked good. So good in fact, that the nurse took a snapshot (via ultrasound) to use as a teaching tool for other nurses as to what they are looking for during transfer. I don't even know what my lining was, but Dr. Nelson said it was perfect. My E2 was 644 (want it over 300) and Progesterone was 73 (want it over 25). So those were good to go. Now we wait. The dreaded 2WW as we in surroworld call it. My blood will be drawn on the 19th to see if I am pregnant. I know for sure I will be doing HPT's before then, although my IP's do not want to know the results. Their thoughts, they have waited 3 years, 2 more weeks won't kill them! I'm way to curious....look for updates here! :-)
Believe it or not, I flaked and forgot to take pictures during transfer. Ugh. I don't know how I did that! I will post some pics in a bit of our travels and stuff though!

Packing up...

We are packing up and heading out. I canot believe it is nearly time. Tomorrow Mark and I will fly out and  Wednesday is baby baking time! I have started the progesterone both shots and suppositories. Also am taking Medrol pack and still on the estrogen, prenatals, dha and baby aspirin. Here's a quick picture of just some of the meds....

T minus 5 days...

WOW! Time is flying by!
I had another lining check yesterday. Thinking it's my last before transfer. My lining was 8.3 on Monday and went up to 10.3 yesterday! It's all coming together. I should be starting the PIO tomorrow. Hormones have not made me nuts, yet! Well at least I don't think they have. We could always ask Mark and the kids what they think...uuhh, better not. I might not like the answer they give, hahaha.
