beta #2

Had bw for beta #2 today. It is up from 71 on Weds to 533!!!! Crazy! I go in on the 29th for the u/s to see how many boys we're having!!

Drum roll please...... BETA is in

I have had a painful headache all day (for the past few days as well) and some nausea today as well.

Beta was today....... POSITIVE!!!!! We're pregnant! Beta was 71! i go back on Monday for beta #2. I'm so exited!!

Tomorrow, Tomorrow....

I didn't break down!!! I'm so nervous and scared! One more day of being PUPO!! I'll go in at 9:30ish (if we get out butts up on time) and test. Wish me luck, pray, cross your fingers....everything...please. Thank you

To pee, or not to pee?

The first two cycles (ivf then fet) for Kiwi, I never did POAS. I was too scared of getting a BFN!!! This time, I told myself that I was going to do it. I wanted the memory to keep. (Wither the actual stick, or a pic of it.)

However, as Weds. beta rapidly approaches, I am questioning if I am going to do it. I am all nerves. Butterflies in the tummy and all. I'm way too scared for a BFN. G is scared too. He said that he thinks we shouldn't POAS. (He is that scared about it.)

I have one part of me wanting to do it bc G will not be with me when I get the call on Weds after the beta. I will be spending the day with my parents, while G works, and probably won't be heading home until late evening. Which I think would be best anyway. I don't want to be driving when the news comes in, nor do I want to be sitting at home alone either. (Especially if the news is bad.)

Way too nervous!!!!! I haven't felt any symptoms. Which has me freaking out. I guess I do have a very heightened sense of smell lately, but honestly, I had that after the ER and prior to ET. I've been really bitchy lately. That has me worried that AF might be coming. Then again, I remember that G and I had a huge blow out fight on beta day last time, with Kiwi. So, maybe bitchy is good. LOL.

I want Weds. to get here sooner, but then I don't......bc I am scared that I'll hear the awful words again, BFN.

Oh BOY!!! ET post

So, I am alive!! It is awful to lay in bed for 3 days when you aren't sick or even tired. I was looking forward to the break, but after a few hours, I just started getting stiff (neck and back.) Today I am finally up, out of bed!! YAY!

Monday, 4/4, was our ET. We got there and had the gender meeting with our RE. To our surprise, they were able to get 7 good embryos! ALL 7 were boys!!!!! Seriously! Crazy huh? We had 3 ab-normal embryos. 1 had Turner's Syndrome, another had no sex at all and the third had XXX, an extra female marker. Weird.

They transferred 2 in, and now I sit here PUPO!! My beta is set for Weds., the 13th. I can't wait!!

Today is ET day!!!!!

I am too excited to sleep!!! Today is the day we'll get prego with our boy!!!

RE never did call yesterday with a gender update. Guess we'll be surprised when we get there. :) Please pray, wish, hope, everything...that all goes well an dthat this works for us. Thank you.

cell stage report

So, all is set for a 10 am ET on Monday!!! YAY!! I talked to my doc about my concern over my ever growing tummy (bloat and pain.) He said it may be constipation, so to take Metamucil. He'll check it out on Monday when he sees me. I seriously look over 5 months pregnant and feel awful and sore.

So, got the break down of where are embryos are regarding cell stage. We have 12 embryos growing strong. 1 @ stage 9, 5 @ stage 8, 1 @ 7, 2 @ 6 and 3 @ stage 4. I don't know what that all means exactly, but I am thinking that it is good!!
