Re: Fall/Winter Board Combined (Sept2011-Feb2012) This is it

I'm a little spellbound from the conference call my dh this afternoon with our RE. I wasn't able to join but he recorded it for me and I got to hear it when I got home...Our doctor thinks we should try one more IUI. Said I stimulated well and my estrogen levels were in the 600s with the 2 follicles ...

Blessed - Like others have said, please do not give up hope yet! You never know so just try and be patient until your next blood test...

Julia, sorry to hear about your numbers... You never know what could happen though, like a late implantation or something. How long have you been at this now ...

Re: Fall/Winter Board Combined (Sept2011-Feb2012) This is it

Leora, we are doing a u/s this Thursday. That will only be 24 days after transfer so we are not expecting a heartbeat. Our dr is pretty cautious so now we are done with beta test but doing this early u/s. I'm guessing if all looks well we'll be going back for another u/s in 3 weeks about ...

Re: Fall/Winter Board Combined (Sept2011-Feb2012) This is it

Well, 4th beta test tomorrow morning. My last doubling time was 68 hours. Hoping for at least the same this time. I calculated it out and if this beta comes out over 1400 I think it should be fine. Opinions girls?

Wish me luck/say a prayer :)

I'll post results tomorrow night hopefully...

Re: Fall/Winter Board Combined (Sept2011-Feb2012) This is it

SamanthaRae21: My doctor did a blood test 9 days after a 5 day transfer. We were tempted a little to do a POAS test but we held off, all the way up until the morning of :) Good luck with your test!

rosie84: Glad you got to the transfer! You gotta take this 1 step at a time.

Fingers crossed for all ...

Re: Fall/Winter Board Combined (Sept2011-Feb2012) This is it

Sunshine- thanks. Truth be told, I dint know how to do anything else but move forward. I've done it all my life. Sometimes it's good and other times not so much. But IDE rather move forward than go backwards. There's no benefit in that.

My thoughts are with you WeHaveHope! You're words are true ...

Re: Fall/Winter Board Combined (Sept2011-Feb2012) This is it

No idea sunshine. We transferred 2. I just hope the beta jump is fine and the pregnancy is healthy and sticks. I'll post e results of the next beta on Thursday night regardless of results. We had a chemical before and I think we are too sensitive to beta numbers since then. I hope all is fine ...

Well, we tried a FET just now with 5 days blast from our first cycle. Had first blood test on Tuesday (8 days after a 5dt) and hade a Beta ...

Re: April/May Cycle Buddies!

Hi everyone, DW and I just went through our first ivf cycled and it resulted in a chemical :(
Our dr is really thorough and has ordered a whole slew of tests before our next cycle so we know exactly what we are dealing with. We are dealing with male factor, both 33 right now. We still have 4 5 day ...

Re: Winter 2010-2011 Cycle Board

Thanks girls. Me and my wife spoke about it already. It sucks but we are going to stay positive and keep trying. Can't always work the first time through (although technically there still may be some chance but it is slim). What exactly does a chemical pregnancy mean? Also, are chances with frozen ...

Re: Winter 2010-2011 Cycle Board

Bad news, beta is 67 now. It dropped. I feel heartbroken and sick.

We're doing another blood test on Monday...
