Thanks everyone.

Well bad news, the beta 2 days later was 0... so the clinic was right it was basically an immediate miscarriage.

Sadly, that was our second (and last) try. The clinis does not recommend any more tries as she is 43 and I am 43 tomorrow.

We only retrieved 5 eggs out of 10 follicles ...

Is it even remotely possible that this pregnancy can succeed.

It was 14 days since the transfer. I know that is an extremely low number. The IVF clinic thinks it is likely a failed attempt to implant.

Another blood test in 2 days... any hope here?

Wow, I read the whole thread and tried to be positive.

We just had our pregnancy test after the 2ww

It was positive but the HCG was only 6.

Almost certainly a failure They will test again in 2 days to be sure, but it really does not look good.

yeah. I figured there was no chance it was wrong... HPT showed negative yesterday also.

I think we were naive in trying to be so optimistic!

Thanks for your kind words.

I know this is really not reasonable but...

had a BFN yesterday after our 2ww. We were a little surprised as we had some very good embryos transferred, my wife had some spotting and mild cramping and then it cleared up and there was no sign of her period coming...

I am guessing the progesterone is ...

Those are excellent odds, even though they sound poor.

We were told 15-20% chance even though we are both healthy, there was no male factor at all, and the only real problem seems to be my wife's age (43), and that she suffers from partically blocked tubes.

BFN for us yesterday morning :(

I think ...

Thank you again for all the support and best wishes.

The two-week wait finally ended yesterday!!

I'm afraid there wasn't good news, bfn.

We were so hopeful about this. My wife had some spotting for a few days and some cramps but then they went away! It was looking really good. She is now 3 or 4 ...

Congratulations Reward!

My wife and I are going to try like mad to avoid the HPT, but I am guessing that next weekend it is going to get hard to resist!!

I just want to wish you all good luck

Wife and I are on our first cycle, ET on the 3rd and test will be on the 17th... I am already going crazy, so I know how you feel!

Thanks Charlie and Cowgirl! Way to go!!

The wait is already agonizing... bad enough waiting for something good, nevermind waiting if you don't know it's good!!

Best of luck to you both. I will keep checking in

Just need to write about this…

My wife is 43 and I am 42. Due to mostly blocked tubes, we have had to try invitro. Neither of us have children, so we are very anxious about this; especially since we had a miscarriage early ’06 and no pregnancies since.

8 follicles were harvested, and all 8 eggs ...
