Sorry for not sharing my beta results sooner....it is BFN for us. I am just devastated as it was our second FET (both with 2 blasts) and the last of our frosties. Today is the first day since last Tuesday that I haven't cried, but am now tearing up as I write this. I have been so blessed with my little girl and just ache to be with her during the day, as it takes a bit of the pain away to see her smile and make her laugh. We very much want her to be a big sister and to expand our family. I want to experience pregnancy again....reminded me of what it felt like to be a kid and have all the thrill and anticipation of the night before Christmas, but for 9 months. We are going to regroup and figure out where to go from here.

Congrats to those with positive HPTs! All my support to those ladies still stimming and those who are in the dreaded 2ww.

miyaya - Good luck! I'm glad you didn't end up with your cycle being completely over already!

teachermom - Good to hear another success story with a 3dt. We transferred 3 at 3 days and I'm hoping there is a chance I'll get a BFP on Monday. I had a 5 day transfer that ended in a chemical last time, so maybe they just need to be home earlier!

ct_michele - thanks for posting that chart again!

kiwi - yay for a faint line! how long until your official beta?

destiny - My DH is getting to be a pro with the PIO shots...there is NO WAY I could do them myself!

AFM, still waiting on progesterone level bloodwork to come back and hoping it doesn't come back really low this time!

stlgirl - ohh i am so sorry...i feel for you and your DH. When i had my 1st fresh IVF in Dec 2007 - (BFN) we were both devastated and i didn't get the courage to try again until now. One thing that keeps me sane is the saying that - "If it's meant to be...it's meant to be"...and you are blessed w/ a wonderful daughter. For sure, she will have a sibling when the time is right and you will get preggy again. Keep the faith.

stlgirl- I am so sorry about your bfn. I know nothing I say can help much, but just know we are here for you and praying for you and your family.

Well girls, the tortuous poas marathon continues and I knew I could have spoken too soon, b/c dh wanted me to do another this afternoon (since we have so many) and of course I saw nothing this time. So it was either diluted urine this time and not strong enough to show, or I was seeing things this morning. I will probably wait until tomorrow morning now, unless dh pushes me into again tonight, but I have to be careful or I might run out of strips! I don't normally start 2, or even 3 a day until much closer to beta! I guess I just got excited today seeing a possible early line.

Katie – You’re so cute! 2 Sounds great!!!! See, no need to stress yourself out! Thursday will be here before you know it! The funny thing is, I’d be perfectly happy with a tent as long as you threw in some marshmallows and a stick!

Miyaya – Sending you lots of well wishes for tomorrow. Ghost responded to your post and it’s a great answer! BFP! BFP! Although it does sound like your clinic needs an attitude adjustment!

Stats – I’m getting hungry!!! Almost time for lunch! We’re both getting BFPs!!! Hoping for a high Prog. Level for you.

Sancap – No worries about the Progesterone. It’ll be just fine. Just stay on track.

J&C – I feel your b/w woes. I HATE needles! Over the past 2 cycles I have (heaven forbid) gotten more used to them, but when I started , I was stuck 4 times on one visit. It wasn’t the staff’s fault, I just have horrible veins! Finally the RE came in to stick me! LOL! He got me on the first try!

Michele – Don’t fret! It’s there. Try again first thing in the morning and see what you get. I’m sure it will appear!

Syanna – Glad to hear from you! LOL about the acronyms! There is a ‘sticky note’ on the General Forum that will help with that.

Wolffie – I’m excited to hear about your u/s tomorrow. You have to tell us about it ASAP!!!!

Kiwi – SWEET!!! A faint line is still a +! WOOHOO!!!! You’re gonna be a mommy!

Johannanita
– Isn’t the waiting part the pits?! I can’t wait to hear about your u/s!!!

Destiny – RE on 10/5. We are getting to the busy part the process aren’t we? I remember when Wolffie first started this thread and it seemed like it was going to take FOREVER and now is feels like it has flown by! Is 10/5 your beta?

Stlgirl – I’m so sorry to hear about your results. Just hang in there and the time will come. I know it’s hard as a lot of us have been where you are, but we are not giving up and don’t want you too either. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing. When are you planning on trying again?

Akowens – I’m looking forward to seeing you post your BFP and not have all this stress anymore! Your embies are warm and fuzzy and where they belong! When is your beta?

Teachermom – GL with AF! I hope the old hag visits you soon!

Rayofsunshine
– How are you feeling? I’m not familiar with IUI timeframes. Did they tell you when your beta was?

2010
– Still anxious to hear how your visit went on 9/22

Shoebox – Glad to hear that you are feeling better. I’m so sorry you had to endure that.

Sangria – I may have missed it, but do you know when your beta is?

Alizee – I hope all is well with you!

We are really getting busy and Thursday and Friday are going to be REALLY busy! Good Luck to everyone! Throwing all the dust I can find to all of you and hoping your dreams come true!

AFM – I went to the dollar store and bought 3 more tests. Still 2 lines!

Hi all sorry to hear all the bad results. Hang in there girls, I'm still waiting for the other show to drop. Today we had bw and my beta came back at 1521 and my prgesterone 37. I think its a bit low for both. We have our first u/s with bw on Thursday, keep us in your thoughts and prayers, I'm still in disbelife that this is really happening. I hope it happens to all of us and that at some time we can enjoy it.

Lots of love and prayers to everyone.

malya324- i noticed that your beta #s are around the same as mine. my 1st was 116 & my 2nd was 196...this was about a 70% increase. i go tomorrow for a 3rd beta. my re only does 2 & then an u/s gets scheduled, so i know because i'm going in for a 3rd, i must be on the low side. did you get any info from the re about your beta #s. the nurse said i'm in the "extremely normal" range, but somehow i can't help but think why would they have me come back for a 3rd beta. the nurse said they'd like to see another 70% or more increase. your 1521, which beta is that? good luck on thursday!

Sing to your belly and that little swimmer: "Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming"
