Sharon, did he say anything about the lost lab results? Maybe an apology? what is he basing his decision on? i cant remember your age--but i would think successful ivf would be more dependent on egg quality and reserve than age. Did he say WHY you would have to wait? Some RE's are juat very busy ...

Sharon, i for one would like to go with you to your RE appt! It seems like all of us going through IVF need an advocate. I am always so afraid to upset anyone at my RE office--like somehow I am less likely to be successful if they are mad at me. But i could defintely be on point for someone else ...

Hi All!
thank you for your encouragement. I have not had any bleeding for 24 hours now--so I am encouraged. i know in the past when i have miscarried it has been off and on. my next US is April 13th--so unless I have any more bleeding--i am going to wait for it and trust. This whole process for me ...

Oh my goodness, i am so terribly sorry! I didnt even think of my comments as being hurtful to others--and that once again shows me just how clueless I can be.

i cant speak for Missy--but i know that for me--my posts were misunderstood if they were read to say that i was glad i wasnt having ...

I would rather hear from Kelly! but when you look at the beta site she posted http://www.betabase.info/showBasicChart.php?type=Single

it sure seems possible that her little one is going to make it. They only include in their study pregnancies that went on to have a heartbeat.

Sharon, i will pray ...

Wow Sisi!!

this is exactly how it went down for my 22 yo ED and my DH's super sperm. You "old ladies" are very impressive (heehee)! I will be praying for your little ones to hunker in and make themselves at home for the next 9 months. What an awesome day!

thank you for sharing,

they called to ...

Dear babyluv,

Whew--you have been through a lot--and I am grateful your daughter's surgery is behind you.

You know how much I celebrate your decision to adopt again. We have put "feelers" out over this past year...a friend of mine--a young woman who was pulled out of Rwanda during the genocide ...

We are going to need a BUS to haul all these kids around! My DH is guardedly excited--and I am too. Yes--Friday will be a welcomed day!

I just talked to my RE and realized the nurse read the beta number wrong.

So my 20dt5dt beta was 13,900 :lol:

I called him because I had a few drops of dark red blood followed by a very small amount of brownish blood. He said in all liklihood it is due to FAST GROWTH--that he sees this type of ...
