geckogirl: The spotting is very comon with th e progesterone supositiories.

fkm7783: Hang in there. That is the hardest wait fo them all. Keep the PMA!!

LBarnes72: Congrats on the twins!!

Penny: Sorry to hear your news. Hang in there.

AFM...I have a FET scheduled for October 16th. It is so cool I get to tell them when I want it done!! Not get scanned everyday and jump when they say jump. The only thing is this time I need to take progestrone shots. She said they are a newer kind, and not oil based, but that they still go in the behind. Anyone take these? How bad are they? She said people who have used the oil ones and then these say the 2 are night and day. Let's hope!!!

Girls, it is so nice to know others are going through what I am!!! Just checking in here a couple times a day calms my nerves more than I think.

gi - you have to have the patience of a saint to wait so long! You are in my prayers over here too that all continues to go well!

ladybug - it's got to be great to see a good scan! And still possibly two?!? Very exciting. Definitely good to hear you have a nice healthy baby.

johannaita - You'll make it! I thought this was going to take forever, and here I'm one day away from my beta. The beginning of the week was the hardest...just keep busy and it'll fly by!

fkm - I'm sorry to hear about the spotting and lower beta. But we've definitely heard good stories that have a healthy baby come out of the same situation. Lots of prayers for you - PMA!

fitzjr - Congrats on the positive HPT! You have courage! Hope we both have good numbers tomorrow!

lbarnes- Congrats on the twins!

Penny- hugs to you. I know it's hard. I always try to find the positive...and then get right back in the game. One of these times it's bound to work!

lisa - It's great to hear you with such an upbeat attitude! And already knowing the date of your FET - that's so nice! My clinic never gives me that ability! Hope all goes well!

AFM - Very nervous as tomorrow approaches. Pretty happy though - no signs really either way yet, which I'm just going to assume is good. I'm way happy tho because I was supposed to work nights tonight and tomorrow, and it got pushed to next week! I had worked last night, and was really concerned about getting enough rest, etc so I made sure I went to bed early the night before and took a two hour nap yesterday afternoon...it still worries me screwing around with my schedule so much. So at least I'll know where things stand before I have to get too into this new project. If only work wasn't mandatory...

Hi Ladies-
Thanks for all of the positive support...it is hard to stay positive, but I am trying. Keep getting +++ HPT's, but that doesn't always mean much. I'll keep you posted on my beta.

Nicole79: I read that you too had a chemical pregnancy. Do you mind sharing what your beta was? I've had 2 chemical preg. 1st beta was 70 and obviously didn't double. 2nd was 147, but I was actively bleeding that time and number went down from there. Hope you are well.

gi: Can't wait to hear about your ultrasound:):) How exciting! I pray to St. Jude every night and my husband says I shouldn't b/c his novena is for hopeless causes-which I hope in our case that is not true:(

ladybug: Awesome scan-congrats!

Sorry if I have missed anyone or BFP's.

ladybug - congrats that is so wonderful!!! We implanted 2 as well and one is growing perfectly... I was even cleared to go to my regualr OB now.

I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to everyone that has been part of this site, I know that I would have felt so isolated and uninformed had I not stumbled on here by chance.

I wish everyone all the best and I really appreciated all of your stories they helped so much because it is so hard to find someone to confide in about this experience because it is truly a "one of a kind" emotional journey.

I am moving over to the April babies thread and will be thinking of you all a lot. Best of luck... (((hugs))))... prayers.... and lots of positive vibes!!!

It takes a lot of courage to travel down this path... but it is definetly worth it... especially when women get together and support each other!

So I've given my blood already...now I get to sit and wait until 3pm when I can check my message. I already cried leaving the office - I am really not sure how to deal with another negative, which I know is always a possibility. No bad signs, but I am not confident that means anything. Why do we have do deal with this?

fkm - when I had my chemical my first beta was 11, then second beta was 57 four days later. They had me wait a week and then come back for blood and u/s. At that point it had dropped to 7, and I had started bleeding three days before that test, so they had me end all meds. I really hope you don't have to deal with all that!

deftonesmo - CONGRATS!!!

I'll post when I get some news...
