For all you ladies in your two week wait. I can't imagine the stress must be unnerving, especially for those like me pay out of pocket. I have a tww just to start the process. Surgery is scheduled for Friday 10-10 and if no cancer is spotted in my uterus, iVF starts in a few weeks.

Renee: I'm so sorry sweetie-your day will come soon. Just keep your head up and keep us posted on when you start again.

Smattison: Wow congrats! That's a huge BETA-sounds like there a few in there!!! I'm so happy for you.

I still haven't gotten my results yet but I will post when I do. I'm super nervous because 2 HPTs came out negative.

Tortillachip and Renee - I am so sorry ladies :cry: I was hoping the BFNs would stop with me this month. I think I've checked this site 8 times today waiting for your results. The only thing I can say is that this totally sucks and I am heartbroken for you.

Renee, I wish I was right there with you in Dec, but my clinic is undergoing contruction on their ER and won't be doing any retrievals from mid-Nov until Jan. Hopefully I can start stimming in late Dec, but I'm not sure of their time frame. DH and I have decided it will be the last try (unless we get frosties, which we didn't this time), and then we'll pack it up and most likely start adoption #3 sometime next year. There's a reason for everything, and I have two very good ones at home right now.

S, a HUGE congrats! Your beta sounds fantastic...can't wait to hear what it is on Fri. My friend had a first beta of over 1200, but it was just one...her placenta is just really strong, which is great. She's 10 weeks now. Regardless of whether you have one or two in there, your numbers sound like that baby (or babies) is holding strong and looking great! I'm super excited for you!

Renee and Tortillachip - I am so sorry to hear the news. I really thought that we were all going to have BFPs. I know it is hard but you just have to move on to the next phase. That was the only way i got over my two BFNs. Good luck to you both on whatever journey you decide to take.

Smattison - Congrats girl! That is an awesome beta. Definitely twins at least. Am so glad this worked out for you and you give me courage to hang in there even if this does not work out as eventually it will. Am so happy for you.

Sprouthaus - thanks for the info. I am going to try and hold off till the 15th morning which is when i am due to go in for the beta as i am scared of getting negatives.

tortillachip - I am so sorry to hear your news. Try to keep your amazing PMA as you look forward. Man, yesterday was a major bummer of a day (with the exception of you smattison) - but, the good news is - today is another day!

babiesgalore - looks like we have our betas on the same day. I am with you, I am terrified of a negative hpt so I haven't POAS yet and don't know that I will. Ahhh, the beauty of the 2ww.

Sorry

Post by firstdiamond »

So sorry about the negatives also!!!

Smattison, I found out I was PG on day 14 but they never did do Betas....once they saw them on the ultrasound I guess they didn't feel it was necessary. I have another one next Wednesday so I'm anxious for that. I've still had a little brown spotting which makes me soooo nervous! Doctor said not to worry as long as it's not red....

smat-Congratulations! That is such great news. I'm hoping your beta goes up tomorrow!! Can't wait to hear.

To those who have had bad news recently, I'm so sorry for you. This process is so overwhelmingly stressful and emotional. I feel for you.

Tomorrow is our ET @ 11:45, we made it to blast! Not sure how many we have yet, they'll tell us tomorrow. We are just transferring one and if there are others, we'll freeze.

Take care all!
