Good for you!! I hope the DHEA results in an amazing cycle. It helped me a lot when I did it! No stressAFM - clearly I need to update my ticker...I'm taking my DHEA and drinking lots of water, taking a lunch break each day at work and leaving at 6pm on the button. Enjoying not being stressed and hoping all this reflects in some better #s next month.No stress

That's great # of beta!! Welcome to mama's club!
You must be excited for your US tomrr.Wohoo! Congrats to Runnergirl and Stacie. Stacie, that sounds like a definitely pregnant number, yay!
AFM: I'm fighting a bit of a battle with morning sickness. No vomiting yet... but so much dry wretching! I just have to remind myself that it is all for a good cause, and that I'm lucky to be in a situation to have ms at allfor HB!!
I realized women feel more nausea when their stomach is empty. Have some snacks in the morning.

I actually feel ok as long as my stomach is not empty... I eat small 5-6 meals a day. I feel like I am eating monster!Sorry about the m/s!! I battled feeling nauseas by eating..I had to constantly nibble. But, I didn't vomit. Hope you feel better.

Hahaha! Me too!! I ate constantly through the first trimester. It really was the only thing that kept me from feeling queasy. I was lucky and didn't ever get to the point of vomiting, but I had an upset stomach for a long time. And I've probably gained a little too much weight, but I don't care.. I'll worry about that next year.I actually feel ok as long as my stomach is not empty... I eat small 5-6 meals a day. I feel like I am eating monster!
Had RE appt this morning with u/s and b/w. Started baby aspirin this morning and Lupron shots will start 2morrow am/pm. Folistim and menopur will be added Friday.
Best of luck to everyone!!

Sounds like we are on the same schedule! Congratulations! I am taking prometrium 3xday and PIO shots. Also estrodial for good measure. I have never taken so many meds!Code:Originally Posted by srh38 View Post Well ladies, my lab results are as follows: First beta is 108. Progesterone was 15. They put me on progesterone suppositories 2x per day.
At my drs office they recommend anti-nausea lollipops, I never tried but they may work...
Good luck to those getting ultrasounds!
Sylvia
I will try that! I've been walking he dog in the evenings and lightly running on the elliptical machine, but maybe I'll chuck the elliptical altogether and give walking a try? Now I don't have to drive to the gym lolYeah~ no more stress!! I heard that walking about 30 min a day is helpful for growing follies.

Syliva, I am excited to have a cycle buddy!

I am relieved to say my beta number doubled as it should! I have an u/s on 23rd.
Yay, Stacie!!! Great news!!!
We have a heart beat
Rhonda, I hope yours goes just as perfectly, best of luck
Highhopesmama, sounds like you are taking great care of yourself. I'm sure things will go swimmingly on this next cylce.
Ourou that is great! Hearing that heartbeat must be a fabulous experience!
Stacie, glad to hear it doubled. I get my next blood work tomorrow! I go every other day now, not sure when an ultrasound will be.
Southern Belle, you have the same protocol that I had, follistim and menapur. It worked for me! Good wishes your way!
Congratulations on your fantastic numbers!!! Can't wait for your u/s on teh 23rd Stacie.

Highhopesmama, sounds like you are taking great care of yourself. I'm sure things will go swimmingly on this next cylce.Ali! I'm so excited for you!
Rhonda - praying for you!!! Can't wait to hear how your u/s went today!
Wow, hope everything goes well this month! It would be something to have a surrogate and both get prego! What a beautiful walk of faith you're taking! It's very encouraging!Thanks Dena!!! I have 7 frosties!!! I'm so pleased with the hopes of this donor cycle. I am in prego mode today that I anticipate will last through tomorrow and hopefully Sunday morning I find out my suspicions are correct
CRAZY???
If I don't get a BFP me & DH discussed using a surrogate and me for a future FET (after a couple of months). That way we transfer whatever thaws out of our 7 embabis and split the survivors between me & the surrogate (she gets 2 because she would have the best chance of pregnancy rate). I wouldn't expect all 7 to survive the thaw, but I would transfer 3 to me if in fact this cycle doesn't work. I know it sounds crazy and risky for multiples with me & the surrogate, but FET does not have the same success rate as fresh, so I don't think it is unreasonable. Of course if we both get pregnant, that would be a trip! It would be kinda neat so long as we both have singletons. This was just us being desperate for a BFP of course and I'm sure our RE would talk us down or even not agree to do it. The things we think of when we get desperate for something to FINALLY work! LOL
My DH and I are talking IVF if we don't end up with exciting news in the next two months. What an adventure it is!

Hoping you get some very good news in the next month and can skip IVF altogether! But if you end up doing it, this is a great place to come for information/support. Good luck and KUP!
*looking for an update from Rhonda* I hope your u/s is going well!!!
Hi Heather!

Highhopesmama, sounds like you are taking great care of yourself. I'm sure things will go swimmingly on this next cylce.
rss-When did you stop your progestrone? My RE wants me to use til end of 9 week. Isn't this too early to stop? I am little worry cuz I have low progestron level.
Rhonda-Hope you do well. You must be busy..

I was wondering the same thing. Where are you Rhonda?You ladies are so sweet and obviously patient...sorry it's been a crazy busy day and I'm taking a few minutes before my PIO shot to update you all
We have a perfectly healthy and growing baby with a HB of 135!!! It was so small and hard to make out details, but I showed my DH and DD the head and tail and curvature of the spine and they both were able to see the shape as well. It was awesome!! I haven't been this happy in such a very long time. This has been a magical day for me and I'm just so relieved and...well, pregnant
Rhonda
Yay for starting stims tomorrow!!Had RE appt this morning with u/s and b/w. Started baby aspirin this morning and Lupron shots will start 2morrow am/pm
Best of luck to everyone!!
Wonderful second beta and good luck the rest of your wait to u/s!!

I forgot to mention, I graduated from my RE today and I will start seeing my OB now. I can't wait to call them tomorrow. I was instructed to continue for 23 days: PIO shots & Estrogen patches. I am to continue until 32 weeks: Lovenox & baby aspirin. I will find out in about 2 weeks if I have to continue the IVIG. So far all of my E2, progesterone & betas have been normal and well within the proper ranges and the HB was strong and baby is measuring 6w6d when I am at 7w0d, so he is right on schedule. They were very pleased, no spotting, bleeding, cramps and with all labs continuing to be very good results they won't need to keep seeing me at RE. What a relief this has all been. I'm just overjoyed today...
yea Rhonda!
your dream come true!
So happy for you today Rhonda! This has been a LONG time coming!!! I look forward to hearing all about this LO's growing!
Yeahhhh Rhonda!!!! I'm so excited that you saw a HB. Girl 135 is great for a hb this early too. I think Lucas's was 100 or so. U go momma!!! I can't wait for all your updates on pregnancy. Enjoy momma.
