      HI! Congrats on your BFP!!!! Yea!! I did IVF and they implanted 3 eggs on Oct 12th (Monday) on that Sat I already had a positive result on an HPT. My Beta was on Oct 23rd and it was 545.3. According to that I was only 1-2 weeks pregnant since we new the exact date that conception was. Beta numbers all depend on when you take them...week wise. The chart was 50-500 for someone who would be 1-2 weeks..so I was off the charts! lol When the dr called me he said...possiblity triplets but more than likely twins. How many weeks were you when you had your beta? They went ahead and did an ultrasound at 6 weeks to confirm and will do another at 9 weeks...because miscarriage usually takes place during this time. I am praying that does not happen!!! I have been trying on and off for 5 years so my dream has finally come true! So congrats again to you!!! PS...I have 2 boxers as well!!! I have a fawn and a brindel...Reese and Riley :) Love those dogs!!! lol

      Type: Hormonal Disorders

      My husband and I have been TTC for a year and a half now with no success. We began seeing a fertility specialist in February. My husband has a very good sperm count but I was only ovulating every 2-3 months. We are 28 and 29 years old and very healthy with no family history of infertility. We have completed 4 rounds of Clomid and 1 IUI treatment with no success. I began fsh injections today and go in on Fri. to check the size of my follicles. I need success stories with fsh and IUI please!

      Treatments

      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      I did IUI with my fourth round of Clomid and it did not work. The doc said it was because I only produced 1 egg with this round and the Clomid thinned my Uterus lining too much so the egg could not implant.
      Clomid Not Working
      I did 4 rounds of Clomid with no success. The third round was the most successful as I produced 2 good sized eggs (26mm and 27mm) but did not get pregnant. The fourth round caused my uterus lining to be too thin so during the IUI the egg could not implant. The only side effects I had were hot flashes.
      Follistim Too Soon to Tell
      Bravelle
      hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked
      I had hCG injections during my third and fourth round of Clomid to make me release the eggs. They tested me after 48 hours to check the level of my progesterone. It was high so the medicine DID make me ovulate.
      HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Working / Worked
      I had this done in the beginning to check for tube blockage. I did not have any blockage. I felt a little pressure when they inserted the cathater that felt like a bad menstrual cramp.
      Metformin Not Working
      I was put on Metformin for 3 cycles because my first doctor thought I had PCOS. It did not help with my ovulation and my second doctor retested me and said that I do not have PCOS.
      Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
      I used OPK's during the Clomid and it worked my 2nd round of Clomid. The other rounds I ovulated late and stopped using the kits because I was given shot to release egg.
