Blair~ Thinking of you today. I know what you are feeling...as I am likely in the very same boat as you are. The faintest + today if you can even call it that, most likely a chemical for me. My beta is today, but no results until tomorrow. Just gotta keep on living life and looking toward the future...hopeful for joy. You are in my prayers.

jenice~ bleeding is pretty common, but you do want to get it checked out. Try not to stress about it. Is it bright red, or brown? That makes a difference too. I've been in that boat so many times, and I know how your stomach twists in a knot when you see that...just wait and see what the Dr. see's. Praying right now.

Mello,& Tammy - Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. The bleeding wasn't bright red no clots.It wasn't brown either though. This is just soooo stressful. When I was pregnant with my DD, I didn't worry @ all. You didn't even know what a beta was no #'s to deal with. Now I worry about everything I do, with my DD worked fulltime on my feet all day doing heavy lifting. I wish I could just fast forward this pregnancy and have my baby, with the amount that IVF costs they should figure out a way to do that for us. What will be, will be. I'm going to the RE's tomorrow am for US. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers, please.

Jenice-just wanted to pop in and say that I bled very heavy red with clots in week 5 and week 6 and then spotted till week 11 and baby Flick is doing just fine at 20 weeks. I stayed off my feet as much as possible and drank tons of water and tried not to stress!! Good luck tomorrow and I will check in on you!!

Well just as I suspected it was a chemical pregnancy. RE called and said my numbers went down, and that I should expect my period soon. She said to stop doing the progesterone and estrogen, and that on Day 5 of my cycle I would start Birth Control Pills. She said we couldnt plan a frozen transfer for this month because we need to do the down regulation, but we should aim for early August. Thanks for all the support, and hopefully the rest of you still waiting will have positive results. I guess now Im going to be moving to a Frozen Tranfer for August Support group. Good Luck with you all!!

Blair - I'm so sorry. I had a chemical last cycle and it was very upsetting. This roller- coaster ride of emotions can be really tough. How many frosties do you have left ? Come back and say hello, please. Best of luck to you on your August cycle and we'll be rooting for you the whole way, HUGS !!!!!

Oh Blair...I am soo very very sorry. This is sooo heartbreaking. How many frosties do you have? Sometimes a chemical pregnancy or a miscarriage...can make you more fertile for the next time...which is what I am hoping in my case...so next month will be your lucky month! It has to be! I am expecting my transfer to be around Aug 9th...as well as several others...if you would like to join us on the summer cycle group....we'd love to have you. Big Hugs!

hi blair - sorry to hear your news. i too heard like tammy that chemicals and m/c make women more fertile so keeping my fingers crossed for a BFP with your frozen cycle. how many frosties to you have? ((((hugs))))

jenice - there are plenty of women on these boards who spotted/ bled early in their pregnancies and are now proud mothers of healthy babies, so don't worry too much about this morning (i know it's easier said than done). get off your feet and get some rest (and sleeping will make tomorrow come by sooner, i know you can't wait to see your little bean's hb...)

mellow - good luck & fingers crossed for your bw results tomorrow (it's torture that you have to wait an extra day!)

everyone in their 2ww when time stands still - hang in there!

afm - i am going for my second beta on wednesday. i have not felt any new symptoms except that i am very tired and need to sleep a lot (which i think is from the progesterone, but it's definitely more than the last times i had to take that much pg). i can't function without a nap mid-afternoon. i work from home so have been trying to schedule meetings around so i can take a micro-snooze in the afternoon before i start my second shift of meetings/ work. it hits me like a ton of bricks around 4:30-ish. this is so unlike me. anyone else feeling this way? dh has been very protective, making sure i eat healthy and not letting me carrying heavy groceries, i could get used to this :).

Thanks for all the support and well wishes. I am hoping for AF to come sooner than later (which is sad but true in this case) so we can get things started for next cycle. Luckily we had 6 frosties, and will hopefully be transferring 2 or 3. I'm not sure if I get a say but I would rather do 3 to increase our chances. Anyway, we are hoping for a transfer about a month from now so I may see some of you on the summer cycle chat. Good luck to those of you who already have your BFP and are on your way to bringing home a little one early next year.

Mellow- Best of luck with your beta tomorrow. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope you aren't in the same boat. Fingers crossed so let us know how it goes.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry for crashing your thread. I was searching for dys24 to see how her beta turned out. Anyway, I wanted to tell Julia that being tired is a good thing and congrats on your beta. I finally got my BFP last year in April, and I felt like you did. Really really tired and needed a nap at strange times. I didn't feel like myself at all. Now I have beautiful 8 month old twins. Good luck and enjoy every minute!

Congratulations to all of you with good news.

To those of you that received BFN's - I know the feeling and just keep up your faith.

I am still waiting to have a full flow then I will be able to start my next IVF cycle. I am praying for a better result this time. My RE is going to try assisted hatching and change my progesterone. I asked him to transfer 3 this time instead of 2 but he told me he would make no promises. I just want my BFP! The money is running short so I am hoping this time will work, if not I will definintely try one more time! I am hoping for some frosties this time!

Okay, the beta came back. And it was low, just as I suspected. It was 18. This was a 9dp4dt beta....very low. We will have to wait and see what happens. I don't know what to feel at this point.
