UGGG, I am so mad right now, I went in to get my second beta today. Monday I wnet to our hospital to have it drawn and everything went smooth. I went there today and they told me well we don't have an outpatient lab you'll have to go to this other place. After my blood was drawn there I asked them to fax the results as soon as possible to my re and he said well they will drive the sample to KC tomorrow which is 4hrs from me....so what I have to wait until tomorrow now!?!

HELEN:

I saw that your tubes are blocked. they aren't blocked due to your tubes being tied are they?

Are they blocked by endometrosis/scar tissue near the uterus or closer to the ovary?

My only problem was my tubes were badly damage. the doc said that my tubes were blocked, but i managed to get pregnant (without IVF) like 4 times, but 2 of those were ectopic and other 2 were chemical. basically what i'm getting at is that you should have a lap to have your tubes removed or surgically blocked before you go into your next cycle. that could be preventing you from getting pregnant and/or staying pregnant. I would highly recommend you talk to your RE about that too.

How did they take your blood the first time? What changed in two days at the lab? That would suck to have to wait an extra day... boo.

I got my second beta today and it went down to 21...so I guess were done as dh doesn't want to keep doing this. Thanks for all you thoughts and prayers. Good luck!

Hello val8375,

I am so sorry to hear that. Maybe it will help to take some time to think about it. It is too fresh in your mind right now.

Please take care,

Angela

Thanks for your support. You girls are the only ones who know how this feels. I had to call all my friends and family last night and I know they mean well but several people (including my hubby) kept saying at least you have one child already, just be with what you have ect...that just makes me mad. After I had my pity party I felt guilty for thinking who cares that I have a child I WANT ANTOTHER ONE DAMN IT! LOL I know there are lots of women who never get one so I should be grateful.

DH said he wants to try naturally for a year and he thinks that will work. That pissed me off too! lol I havent' used birth control for 8yrs and have I ever got pregnant on my own?? A year seems like forever.
Well thanks for letting me vent to you, I know you understand.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the rest of you

hi ladies, well the craziness has hit me big time today. i had ET on oct 30, my beta is nov 13.

i've been so positive, my heart and gut have been telling me that this is MY TIME..but my crazy (or not so crazy) head is doubting everything. i feel sick with sadness, full of anxiety.

if we had tons of money, i know i'd be handling this better..we've already spent so much (into debt), i can't imagine being able to carry more debt, but i also can't imagine NOT continuing to try IVF. i don't want to live my life without birth children! my eggs are disappearing (diminished reserve) and i'm just SO SCARED.

i need some serious distraction, or hope or something. please help! any words you have will be so appreciated. karen

karenvancouverisland: I completely understand. We have been trying FOREVER it seems and I am so ready for a baby. My beta test is on Wednesday... dh said no pregnancy test before that. Booooo! I just feel like it has to work too!

I have had some cramping last night and today plus some spotting. Has anyone else had this? It feels just a bit too familiar... like my regular cycle so I am trying to stay calm (paper bay anyone??) but I'm not doing a very good job.

Hi Bonnie,

I had cramping and spotting with this pregnancy (I am pregnant with twins). The spotting was either transparent, watery pink.. or brown. I was told that this kind of spotting was "good spotting" as the uterus is stretching, the embryo is growing, and some of the old uterine lining is dislodging... I know how gut wrenching it can be! The cramping can be the embryo's implanting deeper.. which is definitely good as well!

Best wishes and good luck tomorrow!!
Lauren

Hi all, I'm hoping I can join in on this thread. I am 2 days away from my beta test and getting so nervous. My breasts are a bit sore and swollen and a little sensation in lower abs from time to time, but I've read this is common with progesterone supp. No other symptoms. How have you all been surviving the dreaded but exciting 2ww? I see some familiar names on here.

[bonnie_bc]

Hi everyone!

I got my test results back!!!! I got a BFP!!!!!! Numbers are low though so we are retesting on Friday. I am in shock after 3 long years of negative tests.

I did break down and tested yesterday morning because I'd had some spotting and cramping and got a negative. I had a MAJOR meltdown. But then last night I had the weirdest cramping... not like af cramping where your whole lower abdomen is cramping but just in the center of my stomach and then it would stop and then my back would ache, etc. I am still spotting today but it's all been brownish and the cramping has pretty much stopped. Doc thinks it's late implantation, hense the lower beta.

Anyway, just thought I should share happy news and hopefully encourage anyone who is still waiting for their test.
