    How did you make out Jen?
  • Jen15Jen15 Posts: 67
    I used a digital yesterday and got the pregnant. Yay!

    I'm so happy cause this was going to be my last attempt. I won't be able to see my doc until after New Years.

    Congratulations ladies!!!!! So awesome!!!!

    And yes, there are twins in there! I had my 2nd ultrasound today, they are growing perfectly. I "graduated" from the RE and next month I'll see my regular OB.

    Their heartbeats were both at 176, I saw them moving around...OMG I don't think I'll ever not cry at dr visits. LOL!

    Lol that's so awesome Melissa....

    I can't wait for my first visit to hear what's in there. ??

    jen, congrats!!!!!

    what is the process after BFP? blood test at md office? then ultrasound at week 7 or so?

    jen did they determine that you were pregnant with twins at your 7 week mark?
  • melissaprestwoodmelissaprestwood Posts: 136
    olearye, I had blood work scheduled whether I got a BFP or not on day 14. Then I had an ultrasound 3 weeks later. During that ultrasound is when they saw the twins. At that point they said I was 7.5 weeks, according to the date of my last period. They are fraternal, IDK how it works if they are identical twins.

    Congrats! Which donor did you have luck with and did you do IVF? Oh and how about medications?

    Jen,
    I used donor 12742. Just one IUI with 1 vial. I did one round of Clomid because my progesterone levels were low.

    The donor was brand new, I had been looking for months and a few weeks before my initial consultation appointment he showed up in the donor list. I was the first reported pregnancy.

    Any of you ladies with BFP's have your first appt yet or hear a heart beat??

    I'm about 6 weeks and haven't have any appts yet. I have my first scheduled for the 30th. I still have no real symptoms yet either. Its making me nervious.
  • BanditBandit Posts: 348
    I had minimal symptoms with my pregnancy. Just a bit tired and sore breasts. I did not have an appt until 8 weeks since I had already had a miscarriage. I think you cannot hear the heartbeat until 12 weeks, but if they do an early ultrasound you will see it, but not hear it. I had minimal symptoms my entire pregnancy so that doesn't mean anything.

    Good luck and keep us up to date.

    Hi Jen!!!

    My only symptoms
    So are is being tired and sore boobs but the other day my boobs were not as sore and I started getting worried. I also have been having intermittent abdominal cramps which also make me nervous.

    My first appointment for my ultrasound is next week, keeping my fingers crossed.
  • melissaprestwoodmelissaprestwood Posts: 136
    I had my first appointment at 6 weeks and I was able to hear both of their heartbeats.

    I had alot of symptoms, but every person is different, and I am also having twins, so everything is doubled.

    Good luck. Stay positive. The nurses told me most people have few symptoms so early on.
  • Jen15Jen15 Posts: 67
    Thanks for the response ladies. I can't wait until the 30th to see what happens.

    Are any of you ladies on other forums like baby bump or anything?

    Olearye, let us know how your ultrasound goes.

    Congrats!!!! When I got my last BFP, I was about 4 days late and was really crampy, so thats why I could have sworn it was my period coming... strange how icky I felt. I also assumed I had an ovarian cyst forming and thats what delayed my period. Nope. Well I ended up miscarrying at 7 wks but I kind of anticipated it since my numbers were slow to double and my 6 wk u/s didnt show much. So I am on to IUI number 4 in a couple of weeks. Let us knnow what your Beta is on Monday!
    How exciting!
  • Jen15Jen15 Posts: 67
    Kris, sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Hopefully your next IUI goes perfect.

    I'm curious to know what numbers are you talking about that were slow to double? What beta? I've just been sitting around waiting for my first appointment to come around.
  • austingurlaustingurl Posts: 202
    Jen,

    Did your dr do a blood test to confirm? A blood test will give you a beta number. Then 48 hrs later you do another. The number should double every 48 hrs. My more than doubled which was my first hint I was having twins.

    And congrats!!!
  • Jen15Jen15 Posts: 67
    Austin thanks an congrats to u as well

    I didn't do a blood test. I'm military and stationed on a small base so when I went in to get tested they just took urine to confirm and then they refer me out to a OB because we don't have any on base. So all the test I've takes have just been urine. Im also away from base at school for 3 weeks so can't really just go in for blood test. I get back to base on the 28th then my appt is 30th. Should I be a lil concern
  • Jen15Jen15 Posts: 67
    So I went in to doctors because of bleeding and at 7 wks my beta was only 830 and 2 days later it was 970 still too low. Looks like I won't be having a baby....

    Best of wishes to the rest of you ladies
  • BanditBandit Posts: 348
    Jen hugs... to you. I had bleeding as well, but there was nothing wrong. Are they sure there is something wrong. Hugs to you either way. I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks or so, so I can relate. It is hard, but keep your chin up.
  • Jen15Jen15 Posts: 67
    Thanks Anissa, I have a follow up exam tomorrow.
  • austingurlaustingurl Posts: 202
    Jen, don't lose all hope. Bleeding is normal. Plus, a lot of people have low beta's and things work out. I also had a miscarriage. They told me a few days before that is was possible because the baby was measuring a week behind (my betas were perfect). The nurse told me that until I know any different, I was pregnant and I should enjoy and take care of that little miracle. That's my advice to you. You are pregnant right now. Take care of that miracle and enjoy being pregnant. I'll be praying for you.

    Jen what happened at the doctor?
  • Jen15Jen15 Posts: 67
    Not so good Ladies.,., its a confirmed miscarriage. Today my hcg # was 954. I had it wrong Sat it was 830 Monday 917 and today 954, so they checked u/s and it was so tiny. This wasn't meant to be I guess.
  • jaimecjaimec Posts: 329
