Margi sweety it is so great hearing from you. I am not sure what I believe yet but I will not test until tomorrow. How are you feeling what is new with you.

Tammy actually I really tried going through every possibility but my beta was less than 1 a month ago so I ruled that out pretty quickly but the fact that we have tries for so long with this stupid "unexplained infertility" so I have a hard time believing my eyes. How are you holding up? I am keeping my fingers crossed for you

Lauren I am so trying again tomorrow in the am :D
Klinger yay for starting so soon!

Hi girls...
My pee stick was slightly darker again this morning than the last 2 days. I just googled fluctuating hcg levels...and everything is pointing to an ectopic pregnancy...which I guess wouldnt surprise me since they had a difficult time placing my embryos back in on transfer day....remember the cath? She was also a doc who I've never met and has never transferred me...she did tell the nurses that she wanted to do a mock transfer first and I think she did and then placed them. I' cant remember if I mentioned that Sunday nights pee stick looked darker than Sunday morning and Monday morning...now I am thinking that this would explain alot.

So to recap:
Thurs -Saturday ~ getting darker each day normally
Sun morn ~ very light
Sun night ~ slightly darker than Sunday morning
Monday morning ~ lighter than Sunday morning
Tuesday morning ~ slightly darker than Sunday or Monday

Those of you with ectopics...can you give me your thoughts on this please?

annashope - Did you test again this morning? I'm anxious to see a post from you. :D

Tammy - I'm hoping it's not an ectopic that you're dealing with! I've had two e/p's but they were completely different. The first one, my first beta was 270 and my second was 640 then my OB wouldn't do anymore draws. I didn't know it was an e/p till I went for emergency surgery at 7 weeks. With the last one in August it was definitely funky from the start - faint BFPs for a few days, a BFP on a digi on the same day my beta was only 10 - WTH? It had to have been higher than 10 prior to that draw to get BFPs for 3 days & maybe the level in my urine was still high enough to register a + on a digi? Who knows! But anyways, after that initial draw they more than doubled every 2-3 days till that 5th draw when it took just over 3 days to double. That's when I knew for sure that something was wrong. I hate beta limbo, but hopefully you'll know more with tomorrow's draw and hopefully it will be positive news.

Franny - Glad you had a nice date night!

Klinger...see that is just it. For a beta of 38 on Monday...the beta would have had to have been around 14 (based on 66% increase) on Thursday...when my lines were darker?! Unless I lost 1 baby...and another implanted on Friday/Saturday when I had implantation spotting.....or it is a chemical and the numbers are on their way back down and I'm just seeing fluctuations in dye from test to test.....or it is ectopic. Ugh.

Tammy,

Just wanted to jump in and let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. This is such an emotional rollercoaster...up and then down...and then...it is so unfair at times. I am praying hard that your intuition is wrong and that tomorrow you will receive a rising beta level.

Tammy -- Totally praying for you today hun! I have no idea about ectopics so I'm sorry I can't weigh in on that one.

Lauren319 -- Yay for 10 follies! That's awesome!

Teresa -- GL on your beta tomorrow! So excited for you.

Anna -- Wow... I think I would test once more to confirm a second line and then demand a beta immediately... hehe. Good luck!

Klinger -- Our calendars will be close and I think we will be PUPO at the same time!

Chili -- We are big Bears fans as well... but do speak during the game...hehe. How are you feeling?

Franny -- Any symptoms? How are you feeling? Thanks for the movie review on "The Town", I hear it's supposed to be good.

AFM -- I get to go to Arlington Park again on Friday for the horse races. I think I'm going to stay for the Lee DeWyze concert. I found out since I'm already in the park I can just stay. I'll be by myself... but who cares! It will be a date with me, myself, and I! Other than that.... I'm really overwhelmed with work right now. I better get to it. Ugh!

Well as I suspected absolutely nothing today just a BFN. I just don't know anymore this process takes everything out of you. I decided not to test anymore since it just upsets me and just focus on the upcoming FET even though there is still no sign of AF but I am certain it will come. We have fantastic embies (6day blasts) to put back and so focusing on that helps. Over the past 3 years we have seen this happen two other times and then just disappear and AF starts so maybe I am prone to chemical pg which sucks. Anyways DH and I decided that if still no AF in 1 week maybe I will retest but for now this is a bfn as always. I guess that is why I am right here with all of you wonderful ladies doing IVF I just wish for once one of us could get that truely amazing and surprising miracle. I think people take it for granted how amazing it must be to be able to just make love to the person you are crazy about and make a baby.
Thank you so much for your support you are all in my prayers

Tammy - Lots of different explanations and also you only have one beta number. I think comparing HPT lines could possibly be off... when I had my ectopic my betas were 33, 57, 57, 36 all 2 days apart. then 7 days apart they were: 44, 226, 705
The first beta of 33 was 9dp3dt. I never did HPTs but I assume they would all show dark lines even though my numbers were the same then up then down. I still think you can have one baby in there and your beta of 38 should be at least 61 on Wednesday right? I know it is so easy to obssess about every possible scenario, I was there not too long ago but try and keep the PMA at least until this next beta. Then insist you keep getting more betas to know what's going on. Big hugs!

annas - so sorry it wasn't a BFP today, but good job on the PMA about your wonderful frosties. How many will you transfer? You are right that people take it for granted how easy it is for them to get preggers.

turtle - how fun a date! Enjoy those cause when the little one comes those will be few!!! And the little one will come!

Chili - glad to hear your daughter washappy - huge relief!

Hopeofr babies - Wed is almost here!!!!!

Lauren - great follies at 10!
