4ourbaby - I am so sorry to hear about your BFN. Please let us know how your 12/20 appointment goes.
I wish there were something more I can say. You are in my thoughts.
Started Lupron 10/31...anyone on same cycle?
4ourbaby - I am so sorry. I am crying for you. I don't know what to say. I know how the anger can make you crazy. It is hard deciding if you want to get upset or be just plain pissed off. You have the right to whatever emotions you are feeling. I wish I knew what to say, but I don't. Just know that we are here for you. You have been through a lot and I know it is so hard and so frustrating. It makes you angry at the world! Keep your chin up and know we are all thinking about you.

Congratulations to all who had BFP!!!
Have a strong and happy pregnancy!!!
4ourbaby- I am sorry for your BFN!!! But I understand how you are feeling. I am BFN too.
I had my b/w done yesterday bcos the RE's office was going to be working half day today. It was a shock to get a call from them asking me to come in a day earlier. And after I got their call with BFN, both me and my DH broke down completely. It was our last IVF, and it had failed. I am not sure what we should do now. We are so drained of any energy. I just feel a big void, I don't know what to do anymore. I didn't want to be the one to break the BFP trend going-on on this thread and so I avoided posting any news. I just thought that by not posting my bad luck won't get posted too.
Good luck to all!!!

itsgottawork & tinaO: Thank you for sharing my pain with me! But now is not the time to be sad! Be happy, happy, happy and give those embryos lots of love & kisses!
Jane Doe: I am soooooo sorry about your BFN. We can grieve together and console each other! We have one more try with our insurance. I think I want to try right away again, but we'll see. But my DH and I have been talking about adoption lately since things haven't been going our way. Is this something you have thought about? I'd love to have someone to talk to about that topic too! I really don't know much about it.

JaneDoe - I am so sorry. The infertility journey is a tough road. It is so all consuming and then when you don't get the results you want, it is just so frustrating. I know my biggest issue was watching everyone get pregnant around me...esp some that really didn't seem to be the best mothers!! I wish you the best no matter what you decide. I have always said that adoption is something I would do and my DH agrees. We have talked a lot about it and really want to regardless of what happens with this pregnancy. I know it isn't for everyone, and I just wish you the best no matter what you decide. (((hugs)))
4ourbaby - You are such a neat woman and so deserving to be a mother!!! No matter what happens - you will become a mother!! I think giving IVF another try is a great idea. Sometimes it takes a few rounds! And if not, like we said, perhaps we are some of those people that are just plain meant to give a child a life they would not have otherwise had. It would certainly make you cherish them, huh? I mean, after going through all of this! I wish you the best on your upcoming appt with your RE. That will probably give you a better perspective on how to proceed. I got a bottle of my favorite wine (Cakebread Chardonay)) in the mail yesterday from my boss thanking me for a great year. I can't drink the damn thing. Maybe I can send it to you!!! At least go have a drink and just realize, you will get there....one way or the other.

4oubaby- Adoption is a long and winding process and we do not know if we have the energy or the emotional strength to go through it. We had discussed about it some time ago and decided that it is not for us. We would like to put an end to this infertility issue in our life and just start over again. But I am not sure about anything anymore. I just wish I could meet my mom today, I would do anything to get hugged from her today and she would know how to make our pain go away.
Itsgotta work - One more post I found for you: "My first beta was 52. Two days later it was only 81. I had read that your beta should double by at least 60%. Mine didnt, but I have a very lively toddler to show for it now!"
How uplifting is that??

I have been working all day and unable to get to my computer...You ladies have been buisy...
4ourbaby: I am so sorry about your news. I am glad to hear you are not giving up. Have a glass of wine (or 2 or 3 or 4) and enjoy your DH for the Holidays. He sounds like a wonderful man and someone you can really count on for support.
You are a very special person and will be a wonderful mom whether it works out biologically or through adoption.
You are in my prayers.
Janedoe: I too am soo sorry about your news. It is hard to be happy when I know you guys are out there hurting. I wish I had the words to make it all ok...but nothing anyone says will make ok....You too are in my prayers.
Itsgottawork: A beta # is a beta #...as far as I am concerned.....you are pregnant girl! Relax this weekend, spend your energy planning your trip in January and Monday morning you will have doubled those #'s.
I am rooting for you!!
bbdust: Good luck today!!
Dancinnancy: Wohoo!! Congratulations on the BFP!! That is so wonderful!!
I do not know much about beta #'s.......do the numbers have any sort of reflection on how many babies there are? Since my beta was 387 does that mean I more than likely am having twins? TinaO: you seem to have done some research on this....
As for me....I have not been able to stop smiling....except when I read about 4ourbaby and janedoe...
I go in tomorrow for my follow up bw....then I am not sure what the next step is.....I know that in 2 weeks we will find out how many little wee ones have made themselves comfortable!!
Hugs to all!

Ok have tested HPT....and its Positive. YES!!!! We nearly cried when my DH told me its negative. Well we were to anxious that time that we did not read the instruction clearly (5 sec dip into the urine and miss the instruction about 1 mins will the result). When my DH counted 5 sec and it still turned negative..... our hearts dropped. It can't be!
But then I saw additional strip....I just keep looking and told my DH is that a positive. We quickly re-read the instruction again and this time very carefully.....OMG..... my DH screaming Positive Positive. Hahaha early in the morning, I think our neighbour think we are crazy.
I keep laughing but at the same time I can't be too happy. I still need to know the beta level to reassure myself. OK its just another 2 hours to go to find out the result, since the lab promised my DH that they will try to do it within 2 hrs.
Hoping and praying.

OK My DH called......ITS BFFFFPPPPP!!!!! I am sooo happy . He even called my doctor who is currently overseas to make sure the level is ok. The level is 138. Its a good start for me. And why I don't seem surprise because I had a dream about it few days ago. Just hope that the number continue to double.
My DH will take my blood again on Tuesday. Looks like my DH still doesn't allowed me to go out of the house yet! But it's ok....all the small sacrifice is worth it. Have to start the injection medication to make sure the embies continue hanging.
Will continue pray for you all......hope this is just the perfect Christmas present that we all have been looking for. Keep praying and keep hoping. Way to go BETA!!!!

Thank you TinaO. You are such a dear and indeed you are a great cheerleader too 
.
Thank you ladies for giving me moral supports and encouragement through this 2 wwks. Next there are still other challenges that we need to conquer.
My RE does not require me to get another beta test. He just wanted me to inject HCG 2500IU twice weekly and 250mg of progresterone injection. Do you have the same treatment as me? I just don't know whether the HCG injection is needed here.
Hugs and prayers to you all

Thank you MBG. I really had a good sleep yesterday for the first time of 2ww , though I had 2mins cramp yesterday night, which I think due to the urine infection 
. Other than that, I am perfectly fine.
I have checked the purpose of HCG injection. It's part of the luteal phase defect(LPD) treatment. Since I have history of short menstruation cycle (about 23 days), I think that's why I need HCG injection. I also found on the website that HCG injections help to stimulate the corpus luteum and increases progesterone levels during the luteal phase.
But I think my RE abit too extreme. He prescribed me with HCG and progesterone injection at the same time. Furthemore, he also want me to eat follic acid 10mg 3x aday, dydrogesterone 10mg 3x aday and neogobion daily. Hope I don't overdoses
Anyway, my DH still think I need to go for another beta test. He intends to do it on monday to make sure that my beta indeed double. So HCG injection will be postponed by one day (which my DH think would have no effect).
Ladies, does your RE prescribed you with other medication other than progesterone?
Keep praying for doubling beta
