Yes. As long as it increases by at least 66% every two days, you are ok.

June 23, 2008

Yes! Cheeks, Congrats on your Pregnancy!!!lets hope those numbers keep climbing!!!! Are you going for a third Beta?

Progesterone is causing you to start getting sleepy. Some women do start to go to the restroom more in very early pregnancy.

June 23, 2008

I Kan i take progestrone shots is that what we are talking about.

Well your body also makes progesterone.

June 23, 2008

I know our body makes its own progestrone but which one is making me sleepy

They both can make you sleepy. I just finished up my IVF cycle in May. I am now off progesterone oil and I am still very tired.

June 23, 2008

Could be the normal progesterone your body makes added with the shots. Congrats! I just got a bfp yesterday after ivf on 11 dpr! :)

June 23, 2008

Yes, me too! Its crazy how tired I am and it gets worse in a few wks like Kan said!

June 23, 2008

congrads kelli on your bfp there are alot of bfp going around and that is a beautiful thing. if u dont mind me asking what was your beta.

June 23, 2008

I actually just got a bfp on a hpt yesterday at 10 dpo, and the nurse said they wont let me beta til Friday at 15 dpo :( sucks!

Yes, lots of bfp's...life is good!

June 23, 2008

who i would be mad i am thinking of taking another hpt since it was to early last time do you think mine would show positive. i have so many things going on in my body i am seeing blue veins all on my arms i never had that before i am starting to feel alittle light headed.

June 23, 2008

Oh yes right away when its in the 70s for sure! Preg does that to ya..just wait til the am sickness kicks in! LOL So worth it tho!

June 23, 2008

I pray its pm because i work and i dont think i can be sick and work at the same time. i have another question with the beta number i have could i end up with twins or has anyone who started out with a low beta end up with twins.

Aww...it definitely is!!! I am enjoying every minute of it.

June 23, 2008

I think its very hard to determine how many off of betas..b/c it can vary so much. You should know by your 6 wk u/s.

I personally really did have am sickness...but some people get it all times of the day. Try crackers, lemon drops, ginger ale..etc.

High beta numbers do not always mean twins and low do not always mean singleton. It's hard to tell with beta levels.

June 23, 2008

I know going threw ivf its alot. just like i was trying to figure out due date i know its in february sometime and the othe thing i had to say is driving me crazy is the progestrone shots they say i have four more weeks but where am i going to stick it. i have no more room i am so sore i cry.

June 23, 2008

Oh I know how you feel. Honestly now I am getting to the point where my tush can take it..its just so used to it. But, tonight the dh is gone, so I have to do it myself for the first time :(

June 23, 2008

kelli

i would not be able to do it my self honestly i could not that shot hurt to much u are use to it not me in the beginning it was fine after that i was like god help me.

June 23, 2008

Oh no, sorry! Shots really aren't fun. I just did it myself and it went much smoother than I thought. Probably b/c I got my bfp and know its good for the bean! lol
