Latrell – Yeah, I have read so much information regarding rest vs. light duty. And, I guess it is different for every RE. I hear that the studies doesn’t prove either way which is better but I know w/ my job that I would be totally stressed out because I drive all day to different cities, so the traffic is a stress in itself (road rage) lol!

Helene – Can you be anymore stressed out? That is a rollercoaster that you are on regarding your house. I know everything will work out just fine! But, your perception of the payments does make sense … I can’t wait to hear about your u/s.

Claudia – I am so very excited … you saw the sac … whooo hooo! I know your blood work will be fine! Next, week the HB … wow!

Franca – Are they going to increase the dose of your stimming meds at all? I am praying for you!

AFM – I am excited and can’t wait for tomorrow to get here for my ER. NO INJECTIONS TONIGHT!! :D

It's official. It's another BFN for me. :cry:

Not sure what we'll do now. We've already paid $30,000 out of pocket on this IVF journey, because we're not covered at all. We are blessed in that we have a DS from our second IVF attempt. We're so grateful for him, but I was so hoping we could have more.

I have a meeting with my RE on Monday. I'm hoping and praying they can give us some sort of price reduction so we can try ONE more fresh IVF cycle. I'm not holding my breath, though. I go to a huge IVF center, and I don't think my RE has much say about IVF pricing.

Sorry to bring this good luck thread down. I guess I'm the first, and hopefully last, BFN. Good luck to all of you and I'll check-in from time to time. Thanks for all of your support along the way.

Oh dear I am so sorry. And NO you are NOT the last BFN unfortunatly.

Let see how much I paid so far. $11,000 first time plus Meds ($2,500) BNF. Embryo Adoption $6,000 (pays for 3 cycles for embryos). So for me so far it's $19,500 US so for me it's like $23,000 Canadian. It's good they had payment plan cause it's shocking when you think of it. And when I see all the fresh cycles you girls are going through my God if it is not covered no wonder you can't continu... I know what is comforting now is I have a BFP but they are NOT mine... I understand you girls are trying to get your own that's why it's so much... How many of you are NOT covered?? I am NOT!!! We only claim a bit with income tax but that's it. Good thing I don't have to use meds anymore for my remaining embies.

So dear we can very well understand your situation and devastation... I would like to send you a big hug and losts of prayers to finally hold your little baby one day.

Kim,

I am so sorry for your BFN. I was so hoping for a BFP for you! I hope you can find an option that will work for you and dh to move on in your IVF journey. My prayers are with you.

Kim I'm so sorry for your BFN! :cry: :cry: ((((((((((((big hugs))))))))))) I pray that your RE will discount you or maybe give you the option for a payment plan like Helene did. Either way my thoughts are with you guys!

Angela Good luck today and dont forget to get lots of rest afterwards

Ashley I'm glad your first shot went well especially with DH not being home. I did all my own shots except the PIO that I'm taking now. My hubby gets all defensive and wants to draw up the shot himself and says I'm being stinjie (that's not spelled right, but oh well) if I don't let him. I think he secretly has poke joy!

Claudia Glad you got to see your baby's sac today. How exciting!

Kim -

I am so very sorry for your BFN. I understand the financial part also. At least you are looking at the positive aspect, which is your DS! Please stay with if you can, we still can provide support for each other. I am sending you a big hug!!

kim ((((((((((((((((((((((((huge hugs))))))))))))))))))))))) i am so so sorry :cry: i was really praying for you! take time to heal, but please dont be a stranger. i would miss you too much! know you are very blessed to have DS. hold him tight! much love to you and DH. it sucks that money has to get in the way of our dreams of wanting a family. its just not fair! xoxo

franca that 9mm follie will catch up!! hopefully they will continue with ER with 3 follies. i have everything crossed for you! they arent going to check on you until monday? that seems like a long time to wait for another u/s. keep us posted!

latrell wooohoooo you are PUPO!!! enjoy the bedrest, and make sure DH is taking good care of you! :D :D

claudia a sac!!! a sac!!! woooohoooo!! i'm so so happy for you!! yay!! :D did you hear back on your b/w yet? i bet you cant wait till next week to hear that wonderful strong heartbeat!!! xoxoxo :D

afm i went in for my SnS today, and so far they saw 5 follies between 8 and 10mm, and one cyst that is always there no matter how many times its drained. the u/s tech said i had about 4 or 5 other smaller follies too. hopefully they will actually grow and catch up (crossing fingers) i always have a bunch of lil follies but the endo prevents them from growing so maybe they will do what i tell them to do this cycle. i missed the phone call from the nurse today so i only have my instructions on my voicemail so i dont know what my e2 levels were, but sometimes i feel ignorance is bliss. i start my menopur tonight, and upped up gonal-f to 300 units for tomorrow AM only, and i have to go back for another SnS tomorrow!! i'm surprised they want me back tomorrow because i was thinking i would go back on friday. not sure what to think about that, but i'm trying not to over think things. oh and my lining was 10 so that's one good thing i have going for me right??
ok i'm off to cuddle with the birthday dog!! tomorrow is DH's birthday too!!! :D

So sorry kim-hugs and kisses

Franny-yeah for 5 cysts! Don't over-analyze them wanting you to come in tomorrow! 10 for a lining already?!?! So jealous!

Just got the call and my numbers/levels are great! I think beta was close to 3000 and progesterone was over 40! They want me to decrease my oral pills but my DH and mom are nervous for me to change anything!!! So I'm conflicted if I should listen to RE or continue the same regimen until I see a heartbeat!
