I am 9dp5dt and I haven’t many symptoms other than cramping and sore boobs. My beta is Monday. I woke up this morning and my husband convinced me to take a home pregnancy test. We got our positive this morning! We transferred a normal tested embryo. Our last two transfers, our embryos were not tested yet and the first one didn’t stick and our second ended in a biochemical pregnancy. I’m holding out hope that this little healthy embryo will be a sticky bean! I hope you all are doing well on this Saturday and my prayers and thoughts are with each of y’all! We all got this in whatever journey we may be going through! πŸ’—

My beta is 151. They said all of my numbers looked great! And I will repeat labs this Thursday and then have a sonogram at 7 weeks to see if we can hear a heartbeat!

So I guess I’m 5weeks this weekend. Nothing will be real until I see a heartbeat, I don’t have that appt scheduled yet, but my first ultrasound is this Tuesday to see if there’s a sac, so I’m definitely nervous, as this is the farthest I’ve gotten now, and I can only hope the maxed autoimmune protocol is enough, as the original autoimmune protocol wasn’t. I’m not loving the steroid side effects at this dose, I pretty much feel like I’m on crack, and am up for a few hours in the middle of the night every night, and get ravenous food cravings. (It felt like this on a high dose for something else 15 years ago). But hey- if it works, I only have two more months of it (I think). The moonface is annoying too but I’m gonna gain weight regardless so who cares. The progesterone side effects I’m used to. I’ve been having meds side effects for the last two years so the idea that it could actually be for something other than a failed cycle is pretty cool.There are so many retrievals and transfers coming up this week it seems, I’m watching and rooting everybody on, and I definitely feel your pain if you’re dealing with a delay or a let-down right now.πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

No clue on anti thyroglobulin, I just have high antinuclear antibodies. My autoimmune protocol is lovenox, 20mg prednisone, intralipid infusions (pre-transfer, at pos test, then at 10weeks), plus baby aspirin, claritin and pepcid daily

Hey everyone! Happy weekend. No news over here. It’s been 2 weeks since my retrieval, and still no period. However, today my husband I went for a long run at the cottage and I definitely feel like something is coming! Praying and thinking about our embryo babies and hoping they come normal. 🀞🏼

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ that picture is hilarious! All this bloat I have is definitely not sexy. We triggered last night and did post-trigger labs this morning. Everything is a go and we retrieve tomorrow at 10am MST! It’s crazy to think they will join our DNA tomorrow after 6yrs of not being able to do it on our own. By Friday we should know our embryo count. I’ll be relaxing today (truly relaxing) no big plans at all.

E2 is in line with my follicular growth. I have 1 at 18, 2 at 16, and a few at 10-12. Today is day 11 for me. I go back Tuesday (stim day 13) for another follicular study. Hoping I trigger then! I stimmed for 13 days round 1 (+ a coast shot day 14) and had a textbook outcome so I am hopeful this round follows suit. A little worried since I had such bad quality last round. Hoping this HGH is doing its job! Outside of that, feeling quite lucky. I'm bloated and bruised (my poor belly) but I'm not uncomfortable at all. Hoping that extends to recovery, too lol.

Haha right!? Literally every opposite side effect. I’m 2dp5dt (fresh) but my beta is now ONE week away, so I’m telling myself that’s a mini milestone πŸ’•πŸ™. I have had tonsss of breast enlargement & soreness since my trigger for retrieval, which is weird but I still have light cramping. Trying to not think about any symptoms next week, since I had them leading up to transfer & right before retrieval. I am a bit moody today, I started estradiol yesterday & definitely seeing that kick in 😬I’m just taking it easy this weekend and totally using the β€œno chores” guidelines to my benefit πŸ˜‚

I had mine on a Saturday and ended up taking Monday off! Hope you start to feel better. The heating bad was a life saver for me. We did icsi too! Are you doing fresh or fet?
