Thanks Jenice. I think that is the thought process. I think the theory is the 3 day might do better in my uterus. Maybe not the fresh but possibly the frozen if we get any this time. That and being a more natural procedure.
Good luck!

Hi shelbyrn0214,
I am so sorry to hear about your m/c. I know what you're going through. Our first BFP ended in a blighted ovum. I too, m/c naturally instead of D&C. When it happened, I searched around message boards and sites that talked about it. It seems it's just one of things that happen and ...

Hi Jen, I don't have any answers to your questions, but I saw that you are going to Midwest in Carmel and I'm going there too! We are seeing Dr. Colver and he has been so wonderful. My sister went to him 12 years ago and has triplets!
Best of luck to you!!!

For me, I have PSOC and the metformin is supposed to help with egg quality and control OHSS. I can't say if it helped the success or not, but getting pregnant 2 out of the 3 times, it didn't hurt anything.
Have you asked your Dr. if it's necessary? When I told my Dr. how sick it made me, he told me ...

Beta came back 147. Dr said he wished it was at least 150 but was encouraged and surprised that it went up. Still, DH and I aren't getting too excited, when we had our first m/c (blighted ovum) my levels went up then too. Next beta is Wed. He said he will great if we're over 300.
I hope everyone is ...

Good luck babymex, congrats siouxsie! I had some bad news from Sat. the Dr said my level only went up to 98. He's not very optimistic, but says there is some hope. He says it's possible 2 implanted at first and now only one is staying. I go back in Monday for another beta. We're just devitated.
