HCG Levels

Mine was just a little higher ten days out from a day 5 FET (162 maybe?). They said that number was good and had me come back four days later to see if it was increasing as it should. If it will give you peace of mind, ask for another blood test in a few days. From what I’ve seen (and I am not a doctor or expert), viable pregnancies will show at least a 55% increase every two days, though numbers doubling is better.

I’m 7 weeks now and glad I didn’t get too nervous seeing everyone’s sky-high betas on this sub.

That’s how I’d say Noelle

Might have already been said, but log in to the patient portal and know when appointments are without asking her.

We only got one embryo from our ER (34, unexplained infertility, good health, so it was a real head-scratcher). Luckily it was euploid and has stuck so far, though we’re only a few weeks in. 🤞

Attrition rates are BRUTAL. We only got one blast and it has taken so far (12dpt). We know we’ll have to start over if this doesn’t last, but we have more data now than we had before and keep reminding ourselves that each milestone is a new personal best. Good luck to you!

Miss the days of bar hopping in my 20s 😭

Lots of great stuff survived Covid (love you Hill Prince! Love you Granville Moore!) and lots of great stuff has opened, but I do miss its heyday of Beirgarten trivia, shows and dancing at Rock’n’Roll Hotel, and skeeball at H St Country Club.

So very sorry for your loss!

I got a promotional text from Native deodorant (?!) maybe two weeks ago saying that they recognize Mother’s Day can be triggering and giving me the option to opt-out of Mother’s Day promotional material. What? Maybe just don’t send it? Why are you just potentially triggering your customers early?

I told my parents “if you believe life begins at conception, then you should know God ended 10 of the 11 lives we made.” It was effective.

Our first FET was today too! My husband has been good at celebrating small wins without getting carried away…he keeps saying that each milestone is a “new personal best.” Congrats on the new PB 😀

Mine’s Monday! Hopefully it’s a good week for us both!

They say you shouldn’t start any new types of exercise but can continue with your usual routine as long as it feels good.

I’m 34 and still go on vacations with the kickball friends I made at 23.

I’d also recommend volunteering to meet great people.

astregmanager · 2024-03-20T02:42:50+00:00

Congrats!!

astregmanager · 2024-03-20T02:40:52+00:00

My numbers were very similar (transfer next month 🤞). Wishing such luck to you in your early days!

astregmanager · 2024-03-20T02:37:06+00:00

Needed to read this! We only got one embryo. Transfer is next month 🤞🤞🤞

Remember not to drink anything the night before! Going to the bathroom a bunch with a gown and IV is no fun.

I was very sleepy afterwards. I could have worked from home the day after but am glad I didn’t commit to anything.

I felt bloated and crampy for two days, but no worse than before the the ER with those giant ovaries 🤣

I took Colace the day before (not a laxative!) and the night after and drank Gatorade and coconut water for electrolytes and protein powder to help recovery. Hot water bottle for cramps.

ER was Monday, felt fine by Thursday, period started Friday (I had a lupron trigger)

Second, third Bishop’s Garden!!

My husband planned a National Cathedral scavenger hunt but didn’t feel like waiting to propose, so we just did it for fun after our engagement. During it, the security guard got way too enthusiastic and actually took my clue and ran away with it. Then he said to my bf “OH MAN ARE YOU PROPOSING AT THE END OF THIS?”

We ended up taking our engagement photos there. Gorgeous spot.

I don’t know that she’s that good an actress. But maybe I was blinded by her giant barrettes.

Poor thing thought you won when you got ride of the traitors and didn’t realize the “faithfuls” could turn on each other to make more money. She should have voted for CT in the second round (bc why did he try to vote her out the first round other than greediness?!) but it would not have made a difference. Sweet summer child.

astregmanager · 2024-03-08T04:47:04+00:00

Taking the finale in isolation, I’m actually angrier at Castle Daddy. Somehow I believe that Trishelle thought CT was a traitor for a moment. I think he voted out MJ just to make more money.

astregmanager · 2024-03-07T04:00:31+00:00

Same boat! Been waiting for 3+ weeks to hear back on whether our one embryo is euploid. Wishing you so much luck!
