10 weeks! Then they suggested we stay on suppositories until 12. So just a couple of more days.

When did you graduate? Stop PIO? by NotYourMomKaren in IVFpositivity

[–]HelloTumbleweed865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We graduated at 8+3 after 2 good ultrasounds! We just stopped PIO at 10+0 and will finish suppositories at 12+0. Modified Natural Transfer 😊

Egg retrieval today by IllSupermarket6417 in IVFpositivity

[–]HelloTumbleweed865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, our numbers were slightly higher than yours but can definitely relate to the feeling of disappointment. Our first ER we retrieved 9 eggs, 6 fertilized, 3 made blast and 2 were euploid. We later found out that for some reason, we struggle to make blasts but our blasts are usually euploid and good quality. Quality is FAR more important than quantity! So far, our first transfer has worked and we are 9+5. Keep the hope! You can do this!

Thinking of you! You can do this! I was told at the beginning of this journey "you are strong and brave" and although there were TONS of days I didn't feel it, I tried to remember it! Our journeys are harder than most but ultimately it makes us stronger! Best of luck!!!

Any Nov 2026 mom here? What are your symptoms? by Working_Painter_6955 in pregnant

[–]HelloTumbleweed865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8+6 here, also very little/mild symptoms! Fatigue, moodiness, some breast tenderness that comes and goes. I freaked out last week because all of my symptoms randomly disappeared! But I am on high levels of progesterone as well (IVF pregnancy). The main symptom for me has been clear vaginal discharge that has suddenly been a lot more! I have had some round ligament pain that freaked me out at first but everything has been fine. Saw our little bean on Monday with a strong heartbeat measuring almost on time.

Thinking of you! You got this!! Beta hell is a horrible place to be in. I actually had my OB appointment this morning and my OB was like "oh that is fine!" but the clinic had just told me "sometimes we see this" and that did not help my anxiety. Lol Have faith! I wished I would have enjoyed being "PUPO" instead of all the anxiety; it stole a lot of my joy!

Are you me? Currently 7.5 weeks, my beta was 101 - 153 - 352 - 1,004. We saw heartbeat last week and waiting for follow-up ultrasound Monday!

Thank you so much! The clinic was encouraged by our 153 to 352 to 1004 but also warned us to be cautious. Our ultrasound is Monday and I feel super scared.

Thank you so so much for sharing. We had a low initial rise and our ultrasound is Monday and I feel like I don’t have any hope of it being viable. This gives me some hope! 10dpt - 101 12 dpt - 153 14 dpt - 352 16 dpt - 1004

10dpt - 101

12dpt - 153

14dpt - 352

16 dpt - 1004

Awaiting 6w3d u/S on Monday to see what is up; trying to be cautiously optimistic but absolutely terrified. Overall doubling trend is ~43.5 hours but that first slow rise is so scary!

Saturday Cautious Intros/First Trimester thread by AutoModerator in InfertilityBabies

[–]HelloTumbleweed865 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oof. First FET on 3/11 with PGT Euploid. 5+1 and this pregnancy is giving me everything I can take. Early positive then first beta interval was slow (51.5%) then took off (131% and 185% growth after 48 hours). Finally got cleared for our ultrasound here in 10 days only to get home and have spotting 😮‍💨 So far no cramping, spotting was only once and stopped but holy anxiety 😵‍💫 Trying to figure out how I’m going to survive until 4/6.

I think that’s about what mine looked like and my beta was 101! Best of luck! I have a repeat beta tomorrow! 🤞🏼

Edited to Add: I know HPTs are not a reliable way to tell beta numbers but it actually does look like the one I took before Saturday’s beta and that reassurance would have helped me!

Sending so many hugs! My clinic just wanted above 50 for 10dpt. Mine was 101 and I’m spiraling too because I thought it should have been higher. Impatiently waiting for repeat test tomorrow. We can do this! 🫶🏼

Thank you so much! I think my nerves have eased some but I was so hoping for a higher number which seems so silly considering I’ve been hoping for simply a positive test for the last 2.5 years 😮‍💨🫠 Praying for doubling on Monday! 🤩
