I know!!! I can't believe it. I'm just glad to know I feel so odd for a reason. I mean I'm not normal.. BUT atleast the smells and the cramps and the dizzyness as of late, are for my angel :)

I'm soo happy!! I think I'm going for a manicure and to see a movie.

thank you Kbear. It wasn't easy these last couple of days but I truly just listened to my gut and it was right. My beta was higher than I thought it would be for only being 10dpt. Ya know? I expected it much lower.. less than 100, as did the RE. BUT It's strong and I'm stoked!! I'm going to celebrate.

Keep up the good fight ladies. It's only over when we give up.

nwquiz--Thanks for the wishes. Unfortunately, both dh and I know we don't want to do donor eggs. We had talked about it and knew right from the start that it had to be both of ours biologically (wouldn't have done donor sperm either if it were the other way around). It's just our personal preferance. Dh would not consider adoption, can't afford to do 100% out of pocket. Plus clinic was really pushing us to do donor eggs, even though we said no a million times.

irishhope. Maybe my dh will hear about the new job situation next week (hopefully) don't know where the insurance is out of, but I don't think my clinic would want to do anymore. They really wanted me to just do donor eggs (I have told them a million times that we are not interested). i think at this point in time, the doctor would recommend against me doing anymore. They really want to push the donor eggs. maybe I would need to go somewhere where they specialize in older women who are poor responders. But then if I go to a clinic outside the network, I would probably have to come up w/ mega bucks, which I don't have a lot of hanging around.

Are there any places out there that help finance this process at lower interest rates?

Thanks J&C for the kind words.

Well.....Today was offically a horrible day. I went in for my 3rd blood test today knowing that it was a long shot because the first two HCG levels were only 9 and then 16. They had to prick me with the needle 3 times. The first nurse tried to do it in each arm and after digging around in both arms decided she couldnt. So i had to have someone else do it. Ouch! Then I had to wait untile 4:00 when I went in at 8:00. The levels went up to 161 when it is suppose to be in the 1,000's. So that makes it a BFN. Now i have to go in every week to get my levels checked until the hormones go back down. I just hope that it isnt an etopic(sp?) pregnancy. Thank God tomorrow is Friday!!!!

I hope you all have better results than me!

Hopefully the next one(3rd IVF) will work.

kbat...Insurance covers not one cent of our IVF. My clinic offers financing through Captial One. From what I understand, the clinic registers with Capital One...this must be the case in order to get the low rates. My DH and I got 1.99% APR. THey have a really good website, www.capitalonehealthcarefinance.com, you can search and see which clinics have relationships with them. LEt me know if you have any questions.

Wishing you the best....
