rb... I also forgot to say... the cramping could be your ovaries finally settling down. It could also be changes in your uterus now that the little one is settling down for 9 happy, healthy months.

Typically as long as they are not debilitating, or accompanied by bright red bleeding, they are fine. Does not make them less worrisome, but try not to let them drive you crazy.

rbcurly--I also had minor cramping but it went away like 2 days ago....an yes very tired...ive never been a napper an ive been napping its so weird lol

HCG levels came back at 1,085!!! i'll be 5 weeks at the end of this week with a estimated due date of 12/30/14!!! :):):):)

Congrats Becca!

Oh and Becca, you asked about beta levels and twins...

I googled it and found this... there is a chart at the bottom showing what ranges could indicate twins based on when the blood was drawn from LMP.

Ok ladies I need your suggestions / opinions. I've been trying to get pregnant since Oct, three IUIs that didn't take and now my first round of IVF. I took a month off between my IUIs and the first IVF cycle. I have 5 frozen embryos (day 5 transfer last round). What is your opinion on jumping right in and trying until these 5 are gone? Have you found a difference when you've taken a break or not?
I'm also debating acupuncture...

Any suggestions / opinions are welcome

Thanks LMWT!!!! My doc wants to wait until 7 weeks to do my first U/S so i have 2 more weeks to go! so exicted!


rbcurly-I'll be wishing on the lucky stars for you for a bigger number next time ...my thoughts are with you.


amjl-I found it easier for me mentally to jump right back in..because it gives you your hope back. I did all 5 of my cycles back to back. GOOD LUCK!


YAY HOPE!! that must be so exciting! sending the best of wishes your way!

amjl - if you are feeling mentally and physically up to it and your RE says its fine to jump right into a FET. Then go for it. a FET is much easier on your body and emotions because its minimal medication and monitoring. And lots more people have more luck with a FET than they do a fresh transfer.

Good luck!
