@TTC, that is AWESOME!!! With my Blighted MC My Betas never got over 1200 and I didn't miscarry until almost 8 weeks. Your numbers look great!

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! Grow little bean grow

@TTC-That is GREAT NEWS!!!!! I think you can rest easy at this point. Congrats!!!!

@basia-oh i will go take a look!! Well for us, DH had a varicocele vein which was causing his numbers to be super low. He had surgery a year ago and they have not really improved all that much. His motility is normal, but morph is only 1%, with low count. He had the AR reaction test done indicating that ICSI was the way to go. Our doctor has pretty much said that sperm issues with ICSI is insignificant. The only issue I have that we know of is low AMH. At the time my AMH was tested my follicular count was also low so they were thinking DOR. However, my last scan shows great numbers so i really dont think that is an issue. I have been doing acupuncture and truly believe that helped too. I LOVE it, have you considered trying it? We have been trying for two years which I know is not long compared to some. I was very proactive early on when we were not getting pregnant. I had a gut feeling something was wrong, and i was right. Super happy I followed my intuition and we got tested. DH and I are both 27, he is turning 28 at the end of this month, and me in May. We are praying this is our one and only round of IVF, and hoping for twins!

@basia-Ok i read up! Sounds like a good plan for you! I am so envious that your insurance covers so much!! Our covers nothing! Stupid haha! Luckily my meds were only $3,600 but our actual ivf treatment is $9,000.00

TTC.. Far as I understand it.. Prior to 6 weeks it's pretty hard to see much.. I had a scan at 6w 4d.. And doc was shocked we saw a hb even then... He didn't want to see me until 8 weeks to be sure there was a hb.. Stay strong! Praying for you!

LSchrader - hopefully it is our lucky month :) We also consulted a specialist fairly early. I knew something was wrong because I kept spotting a lot during my cycle especially after ovulation.

Nervous for tomorrow.

@Browni - I haven't brought DH to my baseline ultrasounds - and I didn't bring him to last month's mid cycle. I will have him come to this month's mid cycle though if possible. And I would like him to come to the IUI, but it's not a deal breaker. I don't want to ask him to drive downtown for all of those.

@TTC - so glad those betas are good, girl! Hopefully Thursday will give a better picture - now that you are PG can you go a clinic closer to your home?

AFM - took my last clomid pill today - just waiting until Friday to see how many follies we have!

Texas - good luck with results

While - Hopefully you have 2 beautiful follicles :) not more then that ;)

I just want to share something:
I was told by nurse to drink gatorade during IVF stimulation - apparently the electrolytes in it and being super hydrated... and prevent or lessen the effects of OHSS
