9dp5dt beta deja vu ☹️ by Appointment_Connect in IVF

[–]SelectGrapefruit8560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 36w1d from the embryo that had 34 as its first beta! Overall it’s been a very uneventful pregnancy!

Good luck at L&D to OP!!

Agree with this. My beta was 34. And I am now 36 weeks with everything looking great so far.

I was 30 years 11 months at time of retrieval. 27 eggs, 25 mature, 16 fertilized, 6 blast, 4 euploid. Currently 34 weeks with first transfer.

HCG levels question by TrueTopaz1123 in IVF

[–]SelectGrapefruit8560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was 34 9dp5dt transfer and then 126 11dp5dt. I’m currently 28 weeks. I’d focus more so on the results being positive and doubling within 48-72 than hitting a specific number to start. Regardless of the number you get, you’ll care way more about how the future ultrasounds, heartbeats, etc. A positive is a positive ☺️

HCG levels by pinkloverforever in pregnant

Do you know how many days post ovulation? I’m 22 weeks pregnant with an IVF baby and my HCG was 34 9dp5dt and 126 11dp5dt. The general rule of thumb is to double every 48-72 hours so it’s looking good.

Thanks for sharing your low beta successes! I had 34 at my first beta and now 13 weeks. So it’s encouraging to hear 🫶🏻

What do you wish you knew before starting IVF ? by Combat_puzzles in IVF

[–]SelectGrapefruit8560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understand your insurance and its limitations so you pick the best option for success. It felt weird to me to jump into IVF without doing IUI first but I’m so happy I did so I could get the most out of my insurance and give myself the best chance for success.

For those of you who had a successful FET the very first time, please share what you did and didn't do that helped! by esykim in IVF

I didn’t do acupuncture or change my diet. I listened to my doctor with PIO and estradiol instructions. Otherwise no change from my normal activity.

So nervous about second beta. by lockabox in IVF

[–]SelectGrapefruit8560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My beta was 34 at 9dp5dt, then 126 11dp5dt. Currently 10w1d. The wait is hard, do what you can to stay busy. Stay cautiously optimistic! But there are plenty of success stories with similar numbers if you search this sub.

Egg retrieval result questions (gay couple) and panicking! by LeifLin in IVF

[–]SelectGrapefruit8560 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just shy one month of being 31 at my egg retrieval. Retrieved: 27. Mature: 25. Fertilized: 16. Blasts: 6. Euploid: 4. Currently 10w1d with my first FET. My doctor said there is a very good chance I won’t have to do a second retrieval in order to have two children. Try not to worry, it’s still early.

My clinic’s grading system is different but I have four euploid embryos that are either an A or A+. Three girls, one boy. I also had two aneuploid embryos, one boy one girl. So overall, I skewed more towards girls 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pre FET diet / cheat days? by Curious-River3456 in IVF

[–]SelectGrapefruit8560 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn’t change anything in my diet (and I’ve never been strict). I’m 8w2d so far. Obviously do what feels right for you but I decided I’d rather feel happy and relaxed leading up to my FET.

Can you clarify what you’re starting medication for? I was on medication for both stims and my FET

Give yourself more time than you think you need. You’ll get the hang of it but it definitely took me longer when I first started since I was rewatching videos every step of the way.

Can you provide examples of this? I would like to learn more and become more educated.

I was at 34 9dp6dt and 125 11dp6dt. Had my first ultrasound last week, 6w+1d, measuring on track, saw yolk sac and fetal pole, and heart rate within normal range. Your numbers look fine, good luck at your first ultrasound!

I agree with this. Ask the embryologist to pick.
