Hey everyone! I tested again last night on the home preg test and again this morning and both were +, Im still bleeding though. My beta has gone up since sunday but not much it is at a 9, but my dr said a 9 on their chart is a positive number so I am borderline but +. i go again on thursday, my dr said as long as my numbers go up I should be ok, who knows im so confused. Im trying not to get my hopes up because I wanna be prepared for the worst ya know just on case. I will post thursdays results as well.

Devans are your tests getting darker, lighter, or staying the same?

Ugh! Did my first beta today at 10dp3dt. It is postive, but barely - my hcg level is 13. So, I am in limbo. I go back on Friday for another blood draw. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!

Oh, and Sonya - you are most definitely pregnant - congratulations!

jean - a positive is apositive... did you do a hpt?

jeandawga · Post by **jeandawga** » Wed Feb 10, 2010 8:17 pm

Nope. And I figure now it's useless to do one, since it will probably show up negative given my hcg levels. My only consolation is that it seems my doc does the test kind of early (my ER was 1/28 and ET was 1/31). Most docs I feel wouldn't test me until tomorrow or maybe Friday. The 2ww is tough, and now it's been extended! Although I guess the wait being extended is better than having gotten a straight negative, which is what I had prepared myself for. Well, I guess you and I now are on the same schedule, since my second beta is Friday!

I have a sad story to tell. My husband and I have been together for eight year trying to conceive a baby and we have tried six months of clomid, three IUI's and and just Got my First IVF BFN... There is nothing wrong with me or my hubby. I called my doctors office and my ER is out until March first. This is so sad and upsetting. I been crying since 3o'c today and can't stop. I never been a selfish person and with my cycle I donated half my embrios so another lady can get pregnant. I ended up with 11 embies to keep and I transfer two. I found out today that I am BFN. This is really heartbreaking and I give my heart to all those ladies out there that want a child as much as I do. My husband got the call because I couldn't take anymore bad news... I wish you ladies the best of baby luck and again my heart goes out to you all... Love Tania

Hi Tania,

I am so sorry to hear about your BFN. IVF takes so much out out of you, physically and emotionally, that it is tough to feel you went through it for nothing. But the psychologist at my IVF center said before we started, even a failed cycle can get you closer to your goal. They learn from that cycle - what went well, what didn't, so they can hopefully switch some things up and be successful on the next round. She also told me that they wouldn't take you on as an IVF patient if they didn't think they could get you pregnant. I know it hurts and you have every right to be upset, but talk to your RE and he'll tell you what your chances are going forward. Seeing as you had plenty of embryos, I bet you your chances are still great! Take some time to mourn, too, of course, but don't lose hope. I really hope that your next cycle results in a great big BFP!

Tonia- I sent you a private message. I hope you're doing ok...

jeandawga- best of luck to you...try to stay positive!

Sonya- How's everthing going? I'm so excited for you!!

I go in for my ET tomorrow...it's a day 3 transfer! Hoping for some good news about my embryos.

I went in for a beta but won't get the results until tomorrow morning - talk about suspense... lol

they won't be too high based on my lines - but I did get this on a digi...

Yay..... still worried but trying to enjoy this as much as possible..

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing as well as to give a quick update.

We had our transfer on Monday, and are now in that wonderful purgatory of the 2 week wait, although it's not a complete 2weeks (10 days) we get our 1st beta on the 18th. We started with 28 eggs, 21 fertilized, after watching them grow and PGD testing we had 8 chromosomally healthy prospects. We transferred 1 blastocyst and have 7 frozen. So that's me, we are waiting and probably won't do a Home Pregnancy Test until maybe the 16th or the 17th, basically right before the 1st Beta.

I am glad to see many of you progressing nicely and those that have not yet gotten the outcome you pray for, lick your wounds, re-evaluate and keep on keeping on. As I am a firm believer that God would not place in our hearts a desire he can not fill.

Peace and Blessings!

So, I had my ET this morning and I have not stopped crying since. Again, poor embryo quality! I am crushed! They transfered 6 embryos and tried to reassure me that a viable pregnancy is still possible. They are between 4 nd 6 cells, but definite fragmentation. I really am trying to stay positive, but I am losing hope...I feel like this is never going to happen for me. This 2ww is going to be horrible! I don't know what to do... Do I look for a different RE? He said there is nothing I could have done differently. Sorry for the depressing post, but I'm devastated!

DandMe · Post by **DandMe** » Thu Feb 11, 2010 7:44 pm

Shermy; I'm so sorry... we'll be here for you.. take time for yourself and do what you need to do to distract yourself.... ((Hugs)) With 6 embies there might be one that just surprises the heck out of everyone!

Shermy- I am so sorry to hear about your embryos. Remember it only takes one of them! Keep your chin up!

Santee-that is great you had success with your ET! Welcome to the 2ww! I am 5dp3dt and counting. My first beta is also scheduled for 2/18! Best of luck to you on that day too!

Tania-hang in there and know that we are all here for support!

Sonya-I am so excited for you tomorrow! I know you will be relieved to get the confirmation of that BFP!

Jean-my fingers are crossed! Good Luck!
