XP from the last thread since now I know what month it is.
Survived day 1 of PIO! The nurses were so sweet at my appointment yesterday and said I could come in for the injection but obviously I couldn't do that every day so I bit the bullet and just did it myself. Pretty easy except now I'm sore.
Hoping the next few days fly by, H is OOT until Monday night and then it's transfer day!

Thanks for starting again charliefox and for asking how I’m doing. Betas are on Wednesday so I’ll probably test the day before. I’m getting nervous. I want this to be it so bad. I’ve never been an early tester because I hate the disappointment it always brings. charliefox how are you doing? Isn’t your FET coming up in a few days? |

Thanks charliefox! I’m just a few days in, so this is the easy part. Waiting at the RE’s office now to check and see how things are going. |

It's flown by (for me, lol)! FX! I'm good, FET is on Tuesday. I've never been an early tester either, although i have tested out my trigger (which I'm glad for, apparently it stays all 14 days!) I recently had the realization that I won't have a trigger to test out this time so I'm not sure what I will do test wise. I will at least test right before my beta since I need to know. |

Well I think I’m out. Official betas aren’t until tomorrow but I started bleeding again. I’m so incredibly devastated. I hate that I can’t ever even make it to the beta test.

I’m not responding that well this cycle and am nervous about it potentially being cancelled. My estrogen is on the low side, and my follies are growing very slowly.

champagne, I'm so sorry. charliefox, I hope your transfer went well today Bluebird, Don't count yourself out yet- we have some patients that only stim for 8 days while others need about 14 days. Just try to relax and let the meds do their work As for me- just still hanging out in beta hell. we will see what my number is tomorrow. It was drawn today, but they have had issues with the courier, so the test didn't get run on time to be done at 4pm. I just want this over with. I need to move on- to do freaking something other than sit here thinking... well.. I'm technically still pregnant, but I don't get to take her home. I've also had migraines with auras every Tuesday since the day of the ultrasound. Probably something to do with trauma and/or stress.

Bluebird I’m sorry you’re not responding as well as you hoped so far, but fingers crossed it picks up. Some bodies are slower than others. skidevil87 I’m sorry for the beta hell. It must be so hard what you’re going through. Sending you hugs!

Bluebird, have they upped your meds? My estrogen was slow but we kept upping my meds and it eventually got where it needed to be. I stimmed for 11 days.

I’m already on 300 IU Follistim and 150 Menopur. Last time I stimmmed for 12 days and had a great response, but this time I’m already on day 8. |

I'm PUPO! Transfer went well! My RE kept going on about my perfect textbook uterine lining so I've got that going for me  Beta in 10 days. Still not sure if I want to torture myself with testing or torture myself not testing. Either way I will at least enjoy the next 5 days or so of just being PUPO before I worry about testing. |

Thanks for asking. I’m sitting here in limbo. I haven’t spotted today but I don’t want to get my hopes up. Since we are OOP I do my betas through my OBGYN to save money. Normally I get results same day but I’ve been waiting all day and nothing yet. Its late enough now I’m sure I won’t know until tomorrow. I haven’t even peed on a stick yet because I thought I was out, but now I might in the morning. I’m basically a mess right now. |

skidevil87 hugs. I think the saying “the worst” is incredibly overused, but I think having to track betas to 0 is right up there.

Trigger warning- Sorry I don’t know how to spoiler
This morning I got the beta results and it came back at 39. I’m being cautiously optimistic since the number is low and I had heavy spotting on Tuesday. I haven’t had any spotting since though. I also took a HPT this morning and finally saw two lines. It was the most beautiful thing in the world after 5 years of nothing but stark white. I’ll talk with my RE later and I’m sure we’ll do repeat betas. Fingers crossed for rising numbers.

My level is down to 1362. We are finally headed downward correctly. Now I just want to work out... and have sex with my damn husband. Still technically on surgery watch until my level is under 100.

Everything crossed for you champagne! I’m on day 9 of stims here, and I’ll find out tomorrow morning if I’m responding enough to continue this cycle. I have several follicles, but they have grown very slowly, and my estrogen is low. |
