Hi jnetx! I think it's just you and me for now! I have my first appointment next thursday but I guess my due date is either Nov 7 or 8. I have loss history so I'm still being cautious. My girls are 3 (as you know) and 14 mo.

My girls are 3 (as you know) and 14 mo. I need to call today to see if I can get an appointment. I'm going to get some more tests today because...idk why I just feel like I should.

Hi sarahh and jnetx! I'm a long timer lurker and I've been peeking at this board for a week and figure I should join you. I had my daughter (15 months) via IVF after multiple failed attempts. In February we transferred our last untested embryo. I had two early betas (58, 111) and now wait for an ultrasound at 6w5d. I'm extremely anxious and symptom spotting like crazy, but trying to trust. Good luck to you both!

Welcome MsJennings! When was your daughter born? My youngest was December 27. I am right there with you on the anxiety and symptom spotting. I keep telling myself that there is nothing I can do but that has done very little to lower my anxiety.

Thanks, sarahh! She was December 1. If this one sticks, we'll have a very busy Thanksgiving time!

Welcome, run4fun! Ugh, TMI - I think I have a yeast infection. I'm on progesterone suppositories in addition to PIO, and so uncomfortable. Sent a message through my RE portal to see what they want me to do bad t I'm hesitant to take anything...

@mrsjennings, I'm sorry about the YI! That sounds miserable in addition to the progesterone supp. I hope you are able to get an answer from your RE soon!
I'm also on PIO, counting down the weeks until I'm done!

MsJennings Hope you feel better soon. I am going crazy waiting for my H to get home. I tested after he left on a business trip and I wanted to tell him in person. He doesn't even know when he's coming home--as early as Monday but could be later in the week. Luckily he hasn't been able to talk much because otherwise I think I would have slipped already.

Sent a message through my RE portal to see what they want me to do bad t I'm hesitant to take anything... Lurking from March 19. Progesterone suppositories made my vag so itchy at first. And the leftovers from the suppositories were white and I can see how they could mimick a yeast infection. Just a thought.

RE says I can take Monistat, but historically that has been very painful for me so I'm not super jazzed about it. Symptoms seem a bit milder today, so I think I'll just wait it out a couple days.
Won't lie, a tiny part of me was secretly hoping they might say "come on in for an appointment, and while we're here why don't we run an updated beta and/or give you an early scan!?"
Waiting sucks, especially since this is our last shot.

@mrsjennings when is your first u/s? I'm glad you're feeling a tad better, I hope it keeps going in the right direction.
I had a small amount of spotting this morning and it freaked me out a bit. I emailed my nurse to put it on the REs radar, but I go in Friday for my first u/s (6 weeks) so theres nothing to do but wait it out and see what that shows. The spotting was mostly brown and just a couple spots on my underwear and when I wiped a few times after that and has stopped now. Now I've had minor cramping for the couple hours, but no spotting. I've been resting and drinking a ton of water since and praying it's nothing serious.

I got my first appointment made for April 12. I just need to find somebody to watch my kids so my H can come with me. I'm assuming he will want to...he still doesn't know. But he has a flight book for Thursday now.

I've been resting and drinking a ton of water since and praying it's nothing serious. My scan is next Tuesday. Sorry for the freak-out. As I'm sure you've read, IVF and FET pregnancies in particular are more likely to cause bleeding. I spotted and bled and even had clots weeks 5-10 last time and all was fine (except for my nerves!). I hope you get great news on Friday.

I hope you get great news on Friday. Thank you for this reminder. I do know that, but it's like all rational thought goes out the window when it happens to you. The fact that it was brief and has stopped makes me feel hopeful its nothing. I'm glad I dont have to wait long to see what going on in there.
