kbillsy - That is crazy that they wont let you apply your credit. We had a credit with our RE and they gave us the option of rolling it over and using it to cover my transfer and monitoring visits, or getting a refund check. Do they have the option of just a refund?? What would happen if you were going to leave and go to another clinic? Could you get it then? I just did a donor cycle, and it was the best decision I made. I have been alot less stressed this time, because I wasnt so worried about "how bad my eggs are". What ever you decide, or how you approach it... good luck!

tohavefun- no POAS this time. In fact, I am beginning to worry that I am not even going to get a Beta. I am looking for a lab in South Carolina, but every time I have time outside of school to call it has been outside of business hours and I can't reach anyone.

Thanks kbillsy... it is tough no doubt but like you said, I think its the best way. I agree with the others that the no refund is bogus. Keep pushing until they give you what you deserve.

Dallas- YAY for feeling better and especially for the GREAT Beta.

Texasgirl- Yeehaw for finally triggering! Prayers for a terrific retrieval for you.

Blaqdymun- You will be GREAT...but praying for you just the same.

Going out to dinner with my dorm mates.

Have a wonderful night everyone.

Deftonesmo- Congrats on being PUPO!

Bliss- Sounds like you're having a busy trip! Great way to get your mind off of the 2 ww!

Texas- Good luck with ER! Praying for lots of good eggs!

Blaqdymun- Good luck tomorrow! Praying for you!

Anton- I cannot wait for you to be you to be PUPO!

Margi- thanks for checking in on us! Hope the bed rest is going well!

AFM- The roller coaster continues. Beta on Saturday was 3417. I was still bleeding Sat and Sun, so I had another ultrasound. The bean is still firmly in the uterus. They think it's my cervix. Last night I started having more cramping and bleeding, but I didn't call. What more can they do? Today still bleeding and cramping...bright red blood always. Another beta tomorrow. Pray for my bean! I'm worried that with the cramping it's now a miscarriage :(

Crashing back over here to send some PMA to some of my former cycle buddies, I will stalk you till you get the BFP too! :D
Bladymum, I hope you have a great appointment tomorrow, these are precious moments and far so many more exciting u/s appointments will keep coming your way!

Blissful, Sounds like you are on the fast track to a BFP too! Hopefully you can find a clinic during some business hours, maybe if it requires calling around over the lunch break, you are bound to find someone... Try to make sure the doctor is in your network, just in case. :idea: It might just be bloodwork, but if insurance covers the appointment it would be a plus.

Dallas, your wbc will increase to fight off the infection with the cold, but we know your baby is snuggling in to mama. :D

Wishingandhoping, when is your next appointment for the doctor? I will try to jump back previous post to catch up more on what's all happening. Know that I am thinking about you and praying for the very best!

Anton, Finally your emibabies are coming home, I couldn't be happier for you! I will pray that they grow more and more everyday!

Thanks sunshine. I think I found a lab, but I am going to have to miss part of class to do it on Thursday and Monday due to their poor hours of operation. Oh well...some things are more important than capital ratios and risk analysis.

Deftonesmo- Girl you are PUPO with four little embies! You are sure to bring a baby home with those kind of numbers. Yeah for PUPO!!!

Wishingandhoping- I can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling. I hope the insanity stops soon and you have a normal and healthy pregnancy. You will be my last and hardest prayer tonight.

Heidi- don't let the spotting get you down. Lots of women spot throughout their pregnancies. I started thinking about POAS today too, but am going to stay the course.

AFM- the lab I found is quest diagnostics and they have a mobile app for iPhone where your results are sent to you. So... I am going to review them Thursday night after the dinner with the mucky mucks, if they are sent to me by then. I think that is pretty cool but it will be sooooooo tempting to do it sooner.

Well my bean did not make it. Beta dropped to 1011 today (from 3417 on Sunday). I'm having a lot of bleeding and cramping. I go back in on Thursday to recheck my beta, then we'll do testing to see if there is anything else going on to cause my infertility. :cry:
