wOOHOO: Congrats airline and ferrals sorry I am still stalking in here... loops: AW chick hope we both get our bfp's then
Ailine-lol must be baby brain already.
Congrats airline, another BFP, gives me hope. Positive attitude; check, positive visualisation; check, acupuncture; check...thanks for great advice.
Dinnie - yes, looks like our schedules are very close, esp if you're a blastie...if we're lucky we should be implanting now. I was woken up this morning by some sharp pangs in my abdomin which felt promising but after clearing my foggy head, realised they were on the side opposite from where my little embie was placed...so no other feelings, but accutely aware of every niggle and twitch.:rolleyes:
I know how you feel about freezing fewer embies than what you had...but i am reassured by our scientist who said they only freeze the very best, and those that appear to have potential...so be confident that those you've got on ice are made of good, strong stuff!
DH and I just decided to book a week's ski holiday in NZ for the day after our bt, so if I'm BFT we can relax, celebrate and enjoy the news, and if I'm BFN we can at least have a nice, distracting holiday...
How do others get through the 2ww?
Cheers loops!! I hope your BFP is just around the corner.
Well 48 hours after getting 1st BT done, we got our 2nd as we know all about slow rising hCG etc. The results were 480 which has just over doubled. which is great. fantastic. but.....
then our doc showed us the parameters for week5 6 etc and we realised we're at the lower end of scale. The parameters are vastly different - can't remember exactly.
This is where my positivity faltered slightly. You see I've worked very very hard on my positivity and my visualisation etc with help of my acupuncturist and my massage lady I see occasionally. Naturally I'm a bit pessamistic! Sooooooo I'm trying to keep myself and my head in the right place.
QUESTION - my progesteron dropped from 120 to 51. My last pessary was taken the morning of the BT. The scale for progesterone is 1st trimester 30-160 2nd tri 110-340
Have other ladies had theirs drop so much and so quickly?? Is this normal??
Should we get another test done in a week? think we will. (that was me answering own question!)
please let me know of any experience you've had xx
Hi airline, im just starting my first natural frozen cycle so shouldn't be replying in this thread but i love to see how all you girls are doing so i always come in and see :) i do have a similar story, my last cycle was our 3rd, a FET i found out i was pregnant 7pt (which was early because of spotting) my HCG was 70 and progesterone was 30, i then had another test on my original BT day and it had gone up to HCG 178 and prog 40 (bleeding gradually got heavier everyday). my next text was the following monday HCG was 518 (which was not too low but not near as high as it could be) but my prog had dropped to 18, i then was told to have bed rest and hope for the best, 2 days later i had another test which confirmed id lost it HCG was 509 and prog was 13 :( but every story is different, iv heard many stories where levels have been low and ended in a healthy preg. If your concerned ask your FS to have a test every week for peace of mind. Goodluck xx
thanks oneday. FS got me to take another BT today. He's happy with the hCG but due to the drop in progesterone, has put me back on pessaries one a night for another fortnight. I've come straight home and popped one in ;-).... sooner the better I reckon.
His secretary will phone me soon with this mornings blood test results. Had to get myself back on the positive thinking road, but think I'm there.
sticky vibes to you all xx
Hi airline
I just wanted to drop in and offer some support, when I got my BFP with DD from an FET I was on progesterone pessaries twice daily as my P4 level when I got my BFP was 80. I was on progesterone support until the 10 week mark which is when the placenta kicks in and takes over producing the right level of hormones.
For this FET - which is tomorrow - I started on progesterone pessaries on Sunday (1 per day) and will do the same as with DD if we are lucky this time around. This is a natural FET ie: I have ovulated, but my FS still likes me to have the extra progesterone support.
Hope you get some good numbers today, and I'll be in here tomorrow after I have 2 little blasty's put back for safe keeping....
Hi Airline.. Was thinking maybe because you had the pregnyl injection too could cause the drop off levels?? Positive and sticky bean thoughts to you..xx I am nervous everyday but think of you and your positive views which is keeping my head in a good space!! Thanks xx GL
hello everyone...sorry got caught up with other stuff...nice stuff, but stuff. Soooo the no.s are as follows
1st BT 14 days post transfer Progesterone 120 hCG 200
2nd BT 16 Prog 51 hCG 480
3rd Bt 17 Prog 52.4 hCG 933 so only 24 hours between the 2nd and 3rd, so pleased with the hCG almost doubling.
Feel much better again, and will test in maybe 5-7 days time. I know I won't be able to do nothing till our scan which is 3rd week of August.....so this'll keep me sane.
KellyD thanks for your post, and good luck for tomorrow!!!!!
mumoncemore, thank you for your kind words, as I said in a previous post this is the 'new me' really as I class myself as a realist (DH says pessamist!)....but my acupuncturist and massage lady were inspiring and it is a better way to be.
sticky vibes to one and all xx
airline, congrats for your numbers, they seem fantastic! :clap:
KellyD, how did FET go today?
Lieve, how are you getting along? Your trip to NZ sounds a great idea! There is something to look forward to whatever happens. And it also distracts your thoughts, which is something I would need now too ;)
Today I started having cramps, as if AF would be on her way... BT will be on 4 August but I'm worried that the result will turn up sooner... :(
O.K so I have made it to the dreaded 2ww or for me the dreaded 10 day wait.
I now have 2 little blasty's on board so FX 1 or both decide to join our family. I was pretty lucky again as the lab only had to thaw 3 blasty's for us, the first one only had 10% survive the thaw but of the remaining 2 one was still 90% intact and the other 80%. They even mentioned that the one that was 90% had even started to develop to the next stage from when it was thawed today so am hoping it is a nice little sticky one.
So my BT is scheduled for the 10th but will POAS from next Wednesday as it was at that time that I started getting a second line with DD.
Good luck to all the other strong girls who are plodding slowly through this TWW, you are all in my thoughts.
It's been quiet in here, and I guess I have to leave now...but good luck girsls and I hope you all achieve that success you yearn for so much xx
KellD, sticky vibes for 1 or 2!!!!
Dinnie, fingers crosses...as myself and some of the girls have experienced you can def. have all the usual bloating, cramping etc of AF but have a positive BT!
Lieve...how you going?? My neighbours just left for NZ skiing trip today! Have fun!!
Very quiet in here at the moment, maybe that's a good thing....
I'm still plodding along although last night I was getting those uncomfortable cramping pains - like stabbing but today it is all gone away. Even though I said I would wait until Wednesday to POAS of course I've already started even though I know it is too early, so now all I need is to keep myself occupied as I wish the next week away.
hi girls in the 2ww.... Had my et last friday so 3 days in.
Had 2 morulas transferred on day 4 stage before blastocyst so fingers crossed.
This is our 2nd cycle after quite a journey to get here. Last cycle m/c at 6 weeks so really hoping this one sticks.
Feeling very tired and wiped out, should i have had any signs???
Staying as positive as possible.
Anyone else started there 2ww?
Hi Blossom
It's really quiet in here at the moment. I also had an ET last friday but I had 2 day 5 blasty's transferred. My BT is on the 10th when are you scheduled for your BT??
hi kelly, it does seem quiet. I have to wait till Friday 13th..
Handling it ok so far but i know next week is going to be a lot harder...
Fingers crossee x
Maybe friday the 13th will be a good day for you. Hope you can handle the waiting, as you can see from my ticker I've been through this before and trust me the wait doesn't get any easier. I am a POAS addict so I always do them leading up to my BT as I like to be prepared for any outcome.
Hopefully we both get some good news this time around, was your transfer a fresh cycle?? Did you get any spare frostie babies?? This is a FET cycle for me, I was lucky as I only had to do one stim cycle back in July 2008 as we got 15 embryo's. We used up 7 to get DD and have used 3 more for this cycle.
Hi Ladies,
Blossom, KellyD - welcome, good luck to both of you with your 2 blasties and 2 morulas...double the sticky vibes!! Wow Kelly, those emby numbers you got last cycle are great.
Blossom - i think the tiredness and exhaustion come with the territory! I was doing fine until this week, now I am utterly exhausted, a bit down and just really uninterested in everything. You sound like you're staying positive though, so hang on in.
Dinnie - your BT is tomorrow, how are you feeling hon?
AFM - My god, this 2ww is torture!!!! I'm especially touchy today because this is the day AF arrived last cycle. I figure if I can get through today without AF putting in an appearance, then my odds are increasing. And I've given myself permission if no AF by tomorrow morning, I will POAS. BT is Friday. The games you play with yourself, eh, just to get through it??? I've been having lots of dull cramping during the night, like AF is about to rear her ugly head, but the only time i ever get cramping is sometimes about an hour before she arrives, so I'm hoping all this cramping it's a good sign - either that or it's the damn crinone playing with my emotions....
