Ladies...sorry sorry for keping you in suspense. I got my call earlier but unfortunatley once again... BFN for me :cry: I'm so upset and confuwsed as to why it didn't work again. Well, i am going to take a huge break from this whole IVF world. it is such a heart breaking experience. I am going to begin my search for a new clinic and hopefully start again some time next year... maybe march. In the meantime, i am going to try natural. My mom has a friend who is into herbal cleanses and told me that she is going to put me thru an herbal cleanse for pregnancy. No med, No injectiokns, just herbal medicines and prayer. She has been doing it and has gotten other women pregnant that have thought they could not get pregnant afteryears of trying. what other choice do I have???? i do have a question for you ladies that have gone thru several bfns.... what kind of tests should I ask my new RE to check me for? What is a DNC? I'm just losing all hope and I dont know what else to do. i was so scared to tell my DH the results cuz i felt as if I am no good anymore. But i finally told him... and he cried right along with me and told me it was going to be ok. We will just keep trying. i love him dearly. Thank you ladies for all your support thru this... i will stick around for a bit to see progress and all the other ladies bfps, but then i will be taking a break.

Wolfiee.... Congrats hun. You are so blessed to be having your 2nd miracle. Good luck hun.

shelby... good luck tomorrow hun. sending lots of sticky babydust to you.

ct-michelle..... Finally the day has come for you as well. sending lots of sticky baby dust to you as well.

To all the other ladies I have missed..... Good luck to you on your journey. Hope your luck is the oppisite of mine.

Lady J - (((Hugs))). I'm so sorry! there are so many unexplained things in this world and I wish I had an answer for you. Maybe the 'cleanse' will help you and you won't have to worry about all this IVF stuff anymore. I'm glad you are hanging around as you are a vital part to this group regardless of your results. (((Hugs))) - again. :cry:
As for the D&C, the simplest way I can explain it is that it's a procedure that "cleans out" the uterus of any material that doesn't need to be there. Some people claim that once you have one it's easier to get pregnant. Are they suggesting that to you?
Please know that we are all here and we are all hurting with you. We know how much you wanted this and will keep praying for you, Sweetie! (((more Hugs))).

Malya - I hope you have good results. Still thinking about you.

Kiwi - I may have already asked you this, but when is your beta?

mayla and wolffie-Congrats ladies! That is wonderful news to return to after my long weekend away from this board.

michele-best of luck tomorrow! I will be thinking of you in the afternoon and praying for the best.

katie-Yeah! I love that you didn't up meds and are doing well. It really gives me hope :)

kala-I hope your trip goes as smoothly as possible. I can't even imagine trying to translate and understand the IVF process in your situation.

J & C-I'm in the Kansas City area as well. I live in Olathe. Where are you at? I'm glad stims are going well. Do you have an appt. tomorrow?

teachermom-sorry to hear about your son's accident. It is strange how timing works :)

shelby-those are great #s. I hope it goes well for you!

AFM-I had a long weekend with my family. My husband just got back from his week vacation and already got placed back on shot duty. I have an appt. tomorrow to check meds. and follies. I am praying it is all good news. In the PM I have to go to my regular doctor because my blood pressure has been so high this last week (160/100) Yikes!! I really don't know how to make it go down-can't cut the stress or meds out right now! I am sending best thoughts and wishes your way ladies!

Hey Ladies - These betas are just killing me!!!! I've checked my computer twice today and finally gave up looking again until tonight.

johannanita - I'm so glad you were able to tell your in-laws and feel great about it. Whew-hew on your beta!!!!

claud - I am so sorry that your cycle has been cancelled. It's so very traumatizing. :( My RE doesn't test for trigger either.

katie - Go follies go!!!!! I totally understand being excited about not having your meds increased. They almost cancelled my last cycle, so on this cycle, we started with increased meds. I'm anxious to see how my SNS goes tomorrow.

shelby - Great embie count!!!! We'll pray that they keep on growing.

neffi - 14 eggies - Whew-hew!!!! We'll pray that you have an excellent fertilization report tomorrow.

wolffie - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :D :D :D

malya - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :D :D :D

michele - I'm so praying that you can find someone else to watch Ella. I would also want DH with me. Keep us posted!

rayofsunshine - We're in Gardner, just south of Olathe. We're at MRC, and I do have a SNS tomorrow. Are we seeing the same doctor???

Lady_J - I'm so sorry. I had a friend who changed RE, and it made all the difference in the world. In fact, we changed RE's before our first IVF, and it made all the difference too. GL with your new processes.

J & C-Too funny! I'm at MRC too! I had an appt. this morning and found that I have one large follie and one small follie. Only two-how disappointing. I think I'm on the highest doses so they are not upping the meds, but we are adding Ganeralix tonight. I hope that does the magic. Can't wait to hear how your appt goes.

Malya- CONGRATS!!!!! :D :D

Michele- I'm right across the water- remember? How I wish I could watch Ella for you!!!! I hope you have found someone to watch her. I'm also sorry about your mom's insensitivity about the situation. GL today.

Claud- So sorry to hear about your cycle being canceled. It was difficult to have my cycle canceled with 1 follicle- I'd be beyond upset if I had 30! At the very least, you know you respond well to meds so let's look forward to 30 more wonderful follies next cycle!

Lady J I'm so sorry. I'm praying for your cleanse to work for you.

Good luck to everyone today!

AFM- still waiting on AF!

wolffie and malya - Congrats!!!!!

Lady_J - I am so sorry. I hope that taking a few months off is what you need. If we have a BFN this time, I think we are going to take some time off as well.

AFM - Three of the four fertilized! That's the best we could have hoped for out of having only four eggs, so here's hoping they keep growing and we can get one or two embies!!!! The waiting is killing me! We get another report tomorrow.
