NY4thtry - If I was in NY, i would run over and give you a big Ole Hug. I know how hard it has been for me, and I haven't even been through half as much as you have. I couldn't even imagine how I would get through this. You are a wonderful and courageous women. I hope the best for you and still hoping and prying that the stupid pee stick was wrong.
((((HUUUGGSSS)))

NY- I have been trying to check your post all day but people keep on bothering me. So sorry you didn't have a higher #. Are you going in for another beta? I know you have been around long enough so i don't have to sugar coat things. The number isn't good but miracles do happen all the time. I am sending you a great big hug right now.
Chris

so how many days past ovulation was that?? I too wont sugar coat this, but we have seen early betas give very low numbers and there is some HCG ebing produced.... i wish i had something really positive and upbeat to say at this point...-

hey NY, i'm so sorry also that the news isn't better. do you have another beta in 2 days? i guess it's not optimistic, but sometimes miracles do happen...
have any of us heard of a low beta climbing up into a pregnancy? i thought i did on this forum, i'll do some snooping around to see if i can find the woman.
i'm sending you hugs right now. i can only imagine that you feel devastated. please keep us posted. karen

Glad to see you are going to try again.. I would love to have something to say that might help as it does seem that implantation is the issue. I also made great embies all have been grade 1 or 2 and yet none implanted round one. This time i used the lovenox, methylprednisolone, baby asprin & folgard, as all help with implantation issues and i got success.
I think however that you have done all of these things. I read Dr Beers 'Is your body baby friendly' cover to cover and it this book does have other suggestions (including the IVIG) that i did not do but thought i would push for if i was unsuccessful this time.... I still have this book and i will send it to you if you want, just let me know and its yours ....

kas you are a doll.. i have dr beers book.. and have read but perhaps not as thoroughly as you..i will go thorugh again..
i even went thorugh Dr Toths antibiotic regimin (2 weeks of an iv antibiotic and daily uterine washes>> ) and didnt use ivig but intralipid which is a synthetic form that has been having great success..i was more comfortable because it is not a blood product
what is folgard?? that i have not tried.. also supriised baby aspirin AND lovenoox.. what did your re say about that??

NY4thtry - Maybe next time you should just do a 3dt no matter what. Either that, maybe freeze them at day 2 or 3 and then do a FET the next month. I was just thinking that you are doing tons of different things to your body to get good egg quality which obviously is working but maybe it is having a negative effect on the embies implanting. Just a thought.

chris i agree with you about trying to freeze... letting my body get away from the stims before transfer but i think my clinic only freezes expanded blasts... so i need to talk to them about that..

NY I think Chris's frozen idea is a great one and its a new one. Lots of people get more success with a frozen cycle....
My RE knew about the baby asprin and lovenox so i didnt worry. Also on the lovenox it does say 'dont continue on a low dose asprin regimen without consulting your doctor' so as he did know i carried on...
Folgard is one of Dr Beer's recommendations, its only a high dose folic acid and high dose B-complex and i got mine from walgreens. Its supposed to help with some immune issues including MTHFR. i still take one every day, tiny pills like baby asprin, and folic acid & B-vits can only be a good thing.....
I do like the idea of freezing the whole cohort then doing a frozen though....

Hello ladies, it has been a few days since I posted anything, but I wanted to log in a post a few replies and will do more later.
NY I want to say that I am so sorry to hear about your 1st beta. Although I wish I could say more, I know that not much would make you feel better. And unfortuantely I don't have any stories on people like you. But I am happy to see that you are going to try again. Sending lots of hugs and I wish you the best!
Chris I am happy to see that you've started stimming. Wishing you the best thru it all. I know how it feels to be taking a lot of meds. After I got my BFP I still had to take alot. I thought I would never stop taking meds, but I was so happy in week 12 when I was told that I only had to take the prenatal vitamins. Hang in there.
KarenI see that you're getting ready to start on your nursery. I know that must be exciting. DH and I plan to start on ours around the beginning of March. We'll find out what we're having at the end of this month. When will you find out or do you know already?
KasI am happy to see that your scan went well. I know it was such a joy to see your 3 little ones!
Wonderence I am happy that you had a fun night out this weekend. I tell DH how I want to go and hang out with the girls. However, I am just getting to the point where I can actually go a full day without the m/s.
As for me, the m/s is getting better, week by week. Thank GOD! At my OB appointment last week, my OB threatened to put me in the hospital if I lose anymore weight. I explained to her that I am not trying to lose weight, I was just suffering so bad with nausea and vomiting. To help with that she prescribe Zofran and said that she want to see me in 2wks instead of 4, so I'll see what she says at my appt next week. Taking the med has helped with the m/s but I am not sure if I've gained any weight. If I haven't, I sure hope and pray that I haven't lost any! We were able to listen to the h/b and she said it sounds real good so the baby must be taking all of the nutrients from when I am able to eat. I try so hard to eat and keep my food down because I want a healthy baby so I pray things continue to get better.
For the ladies that I didn't do a personal on, I am still reading all of the posts when I can so I hope that you all are doing well. Take Care!

Wishing Great to hear from you and i'm glad your little one is doing so well - how exciting to findo out the sex soon!! Let us know 
Also i'm sorry about the m/s... I sympathise - i have only been feeling nausea (it gets me down as i feel so crap all the time) but i have not lost weight, in fact i have gained a lot as eating seems to relieve it temporarily. Isnt it funny how we are all so different???? SO i hope you start to gain now after the zofran, and that you get to avoid the hospital....
Chris DO you get your scan today???? Let us know about those follies
