When did you get a heartbeat?

I just had my first ultrasound today at 5w6d and we did not see a heartbeat yet. I'm only a day shy of 6 weeks and was really hoping to see or hear a heartbeat but my Dr said it's still early and what really matters will be at my next ultrasound.

We saw the gestational sac, yolk sac, embryo/fetal pole and I am measuring at 5w6d.

I was really hoping to see the heartbeat today and a little bummed even though everything else looks good.

I have my next ultrasound in exactly a week so I'm crossing my fingers everything will be good🥺

Best OBGYN for pregnancy in North Scottsdale?

Hi! I will be "graduating" from my IVF fertility clinic when I'm 10 weeks pregnant and am looking for a great obgyn in North Scottsdale and prefer to deliver at Honor Health Shea.

I had a bad experience at Cornerstone and would not like to go there.

I'm open to hearing any recommendations you have and let me know your experience☺️

Progesterone levels

Hello! Do you guys know what your progesterone levels were after your transfer?

TW: positive

I'm on a fully medicated FET cycle, currently 14dp5dt.

My protocol was 1 pio shot every morning and progesterone cream every night. However, I've developed really bad knots and my body is taking longer to absorb the oil so it's get sitting there and I'm running out of space to inject so at my first beta at 11dp5dt, they said my progesterone was 40 and felt comfortable having me do 1 PIO shot every other day and continue daily progesterone cream.

I had my 2nd beta today and my progesterone came back at 19.4 and said I'm still getting the support I need and will retest me at my third beta in two days.

1st beta: 950
2nd beta: 2874

I'm just worried my progesterone levels are decreasing and it will affect my pregnancy from developing. I'm not sure what my progesterone levels should be at...

PIO shots

Hi! I am on a fully medicated cycle and do pio shots daily. I'm alternating each side but my knots and bruises have become SO bad and I'm only 9dp5dt so I still have a long ways to go if I'm pregnant which I will find out in two days!

What did you do to get through the pio shots, knots, and bruises?

I'm heating the oil before, using a heating pad and walking after the injection, and massaging but I feel like nothing is working for me.

Each day the injections are getting worse and worse because I'm adding more irritation to an already irritated area and I only have a limited space where I'm able to inject as I'm petite. It's gotten to the point where it stings so bad and tingles for about 2-3 hours after the shots. Is this normal?

I'm going to have a nurse take a look at it too when I go in on Friday for my beta but just wanted to get some advice from you guys on here🥺

Has anyone had to do lupron shots? What symptoms did you have?
I will be starting Lupron in 10 days and want to prepare myself as much as I can or at least be aware of what I could experience.
