New thread, hope you don't mind I started a new one Kwick

Good luck for today @mandy. Fingers crossed for you!!

tiny, I'm so sorry this wasn't your month. I really hate the way the drugs make you all hopeful and you feel pregnant just before it's clear you're not. Happened really strong to me last time and I was so gutted.

mandy, that looks hopeful. Fingers crossed!

Hcg is only 72. Is that bad?! Kinda freaking out!!!

How many dpt are you mandy? Sounds good to me and most important is whether it doubles or not. When is your next blood test? What did your clinic say?

I found this online, I don’t know how accurate it is but maybe it will help?!? 72 sounds perfectly normal on this chart

Thanks @Bear1980 I was 10dp5dt as of yesterday. The clinic said everything above 30 at this stage has a good prognosis but they want me to do another test on either Saturday or Monday. Not sure which one to do though.

@JellyBean909 thank you that did help. Not sure how many days past ovulation I was yesterday though because technically I didn't ovulate at all as it was a Fet. But even so 72 is only bad way down the list.

mandy 10dp5dt is effectively 15 dpo and 72 is within the range for that so looks fine. It's up to you when you do the next teat. I would be tempted to do Saturday as hopefully it will put your mind at ease a bit? Oh and congratulations 😄

Thanks @Bear1980 - I asked the clinic and they said to do Monday. I'm assuming so that they can see if it's doubled twice or not. Unfortunately even if I did test on Saturday I couldn't get the results till Monday anyway so I suppose it's just as well. I suppose I was just shocked as the last time first beta was 200+. Even so it ended in miscarriage so I suppose higher doesn't always mean better - it wasn't doubling last time so as you can imagine I'm really worried about Mondays result and won't be able to get excited till then.

@Mandy002 I can totally imagine how worried you must be. I think 72 is a perfectly normal hCG level to have, and in any case the actual number is not that important, it's the increase that matters. Fingers crossed you get a nice big increase on Monday!

Progesterone results in at 31.3.

Thanks @TinyPaws

Okay I am going to vent I may be pissed

But seriously WTAF is wrong with my body? I am now 1 weeks late by a "normal" standard and 2 weeks late by my shitty 21 day cycle. I really think my body hates me as much as I hate it right now

And 20 minutes into DTD for actual fun Alexa pipes up you are connected to Buttons iPhone. I mean seriously even she's against us!!!!

Are you waiting to come on so you can start again? My periods went mental after my 1st (bfn) cycle.

And that is why you shouldn't MN whilst under the influence

Yes Mandy but I didn't actually do a cycle last time as was out of sync with donor so everything went in freezer

@ButtonMooooon Don't worry about the rant under the influence...we've all been there and you have every right to be angry with your body. How many embryos did you get? I don't know how true it is but I've read that FET success can be better because if the embies survive the thaw then they are quite strong.

We have 6 blasts in the freezer, 4 top quality and 2 borderline

That's fantastic @ButtonMooooon I only had 4 total. Are you going to transfer 2 at a time?
Thanks @SallyA1 I do hope so

Sally when if AF arrives I start Progynova for 4 weeks then have a scan to see when transfer will be

Mandy they will only transfer one at a time due to risk of multiple births for my age. The way I look at it that's 6 chances (if we can afford it!)

@ButtonMooooon definitely the best way to look at it. Fingers crossed one or more of them stick 🤞🏻👶🏻

Good luck for your results today @Mandy002

Still haven't had them yet!! 🙄🤔😬

Ok I'm going crazy here...today has been awful and now I have to wait till tomorrow to be put out of my misery one way or the other! 😩

Was checking in to see if you’d had some good news Mandy - fingers crossed they call early tomorrow and don’t leave you hanging on all day tomorrow as well!
