dawgs- i had pretty bad bleeding after my 2nd retrieval but not the 1st or 3rd my RE made sure that my uterus didnt have any bleeding when we did ET I did spot for couple of days. I'm pretty sure its normal but you can call your nurse to make sure.
cakes- thats great news!!!!! I'm so happy for you and wishing happy and healthy 9mos!
tammy- did you have your retrieval? i havent looked on the fall board yet will have to read up whenever i get a chance.
Renee- wow twins. Congratulations!
AFM still waiting for my us/ its actually next week for some reason i thought it was this week. Oh well one more week wont kill me!
It looks like everyone has moved on from here, but I thought I would put this in writing and hopefully find some peace for myself. I just finished my first IVF cycle and received the phone call on Tuesday that it was a BFN and none of our extra embryos were able to be frozen. What a difficult day that was and I still find myself breaking down on the way home from work each day. My DH and I started this process 2 years ago and when we finally got to starting IVF I thought for sure this would be it. My heart is breaking. I know so many of you have been through this too and know what I'm feeling. It's hard.
We have a consultation scheduled for September 29th so I guess we just wait and see. Thank you to all of you for your support through my first attempt. It helped me more than you'll ever know.

rebecca- I' so sorry big hugsss
not sure if anyone still reads here but went for my u/s and 1 bean despite the high betas! beanie measures 4 days ahead so thats why the high betas RE thinks it must of implanted really fast. Anyway it was a pleasure cycling with all of you and i hope i will hear positive news on the fall board from all the ladies.
Greetings! I am new to this site. I just love all the support you all provide each other. Maybe you can help me decide whether to try another IVF cycle. I just discovered my donor egg failed her genetics consult; I'm devastated. I'm a healthy 45, a yoga teacher -- I feel like if I found the right clinic (I'll travel anywhere) with good success rates for women over 40, I know I could be part of that lucky minority. Any advice would be so appreciated.
