I understand about taking the break. For me, being 42, I can't waste a cycle. Sucks as I am tired of this, but need to keep trying. My SIL has offered to donate eggs, but she is 37 and I am not sure she would be a candidate. It might also be a bit weird for me, although DH loves the idea as it saves money and we know she is a great person.
No sisters or cousins the right age unfortunately. Good luck with your NYC doctor.

So the result is in!!! 2nd beta which is 16p5dt isssssssssss:
1466!!!!

Me: 33
DH: 37 (low count)
TCC 3+ years
3 failed IUIs
#1 IVF: BFP M/C at 7 weeks
Well according to the doubling every 2 days rule it should be at least 866. So I'd say it's fabulous! Congratulations!
I hate waiting for the US too...but it's better to do it later to make sure you see the heartbeat than to get in too soon before the heart starts beating. I'll be watching to see how yours goes! Mine is on Oct. 1st.

Hey, I'm back. One healthy heartbeat at 117 BPM! It was very cool - we actually got to hear the heartbeat. The baby measures 6w3d and I'm 6w2d so things are right on track. We're still at about a 15% chance of miscarriage but it's a big weight lifted.
I'll be watching for your beta next week new2ivfgirl!
