Yay! Well I just got my phone call from the beta.  My level was 224.  I repeat in a week. May 2nd and then on the 13th I have my ultrasound.  So there is no way of knowing if there are more than one until the ultrasound.
Well, how cool I will keep holding on and hoping!

I am not sure either.  I have seen all over this board how in two days they see if the levels double..I dont know why I go back in one week. Strange I thought, but I figured they will find out all they need if the numbers go up and then on the ultrasound they should see the sack and hope heartbeat...

I really dont know the reason.

Welcome Heather! Good luck! Two more days! Have you broken down with the HPT?
I am amazed 3 blasts!! Wow!
My RE Would only transfer 3 embryos because they were on day 3 and not made to blast.  That is quite a big risk. 

Good luck with that, keep us posted, I am really curious to know how many implant!

Phew! HEATHER, Yikes, i transferred only three but they were one 9 cell and 2 8 cells.  So I am fingers crossed it is one, but will love all three if I am so blessed. 
Seems like you have a MUCH better chance for triplets, tho than I do... Scary, but when you have been trying and trying, most people on IVF take all they can get!
I really want to know what it ends up being. ONE TWO OR THREE!!!
Yep, I had not seen a positive hpt in YEARS, so when I got one, I KNEW it was positive.  Chances are you are too!
I can not wait to hear how many you have!
Lets be buddies! Keep me informed!

I haven't joined any discussions before...I have only read hundreds of replies in anxious hours, when I could not keep myself together for a moment longer.

My DH and I have been actively trying to conceive for 4 years, seeing specialists for 3, etc., etc.  Long story short:  IVF #1 started 3/31/08.  My ER was done on 4/22/08- 15 retrieved, 12 mature, 10 fertilized.  Two perfect 8 cell embies placed on 4/25/08.  I was dealing with all the side effects (breast pain, abdominal bloating) ok until 4/27, when we were told none of our remaining embryos were suitable for cryo!  These two are it!  I now alternate between knowing it worked one minute to knowing it didn't the next.  I feel crazy, angry, and hopeful all at the same time.  My beta is 5/7/08, and I may explode before then.

Nonnie,
I am happy you chose to post, we welcome you warmly here.  This panel will keep you occupied and hopefully informed.  So many people here, glad you are part of the IVF family.
I pray it works for you on this first try! You had many many eggs retrieved! Wow!
Let me tell you dont give up hope on the two you had transferred! Those were the best two no doubt, so dont get discouraged that none of them could be frozen.
The RE told me once that often the embryos need to be inside mommy to thrive and sometimes don't progress too well in a lab.
Also, I did a three day transfer, after my first cycle ended unsuccessfully.  And guess what, I am preggers! Not sure yet how many, but we did 3.  One was a 9 and the other 2 were 8.  SO DONT GIVE UP!
Positive thinking and keep your spirits high! I think that helps! Hopefully you will explode by then with baby hormones and symptoms!
I did a digital home pregnancy test exactly 7 days after my transfer, and already had a positive result by then!
Good luck, treat yourself gently and take care!

Can coughing too hard or sneezing too hard cause a miscarriage?

I get these kind of crampy pains when I cough,  had a cold for 4 days. Its kind of going away now, but I dont have my second blood test til Friday and I am nervous that the numbers wont have doubled or I did something by coughing.

What are these pains, well, hope its nothing.

Just need to get this blood test done and get in there for the first ultrasound.

Thank you for the reply! I see you had a daughter born in February! Congrats! Why are you still hanging around here?
Are you trying again?  What is your situation? 
Thank you for the info, anyway.  I have no bleeding, and I am not in a panic, I just was curious, it feels sometimes like piercing pain, and I was worried. 
Take care.

well this site got me through my journey.  I will give you the fast update on my story.  I have went through fetility off and on for 6 year.  I have been pg 7 times.  I have lost 5 in m/c from 6-15weeks.  I have a three year old and one born this past february.  After being on this site and having others help me i feel the need to still help others.  I still have alot of friends that are on the site trying or who are still pg.  Everyone even after having them feels a need to help others like we were helped.  For example when people have questions like you did its unfortunite but im able to answer alot of the questions for the women on here.
