Thank you Riogirl for popping in to check on us... :D Today I had my first meeting with our new RE and he is fabulous! Never once did I feel he was pressuring me but at the same time he gave me sound advice. Told us we should try two more iuis before jumping back into IVF. He said looking back at my laproscopy report with HSG and the Ut biopsy eerything looks normal. He recommended dh to change from the vitamins to the "MegaMan" mineral suppliment. Also he said he would like for us to have my FSH to see if my ov reserve is still ok, because I should of responded better with 150 iu of follistim. (Last month I only had TWO mature follicles with that dosage) So he said we would advice us to try 225 units instead b/c my chance for multiples is very unlikely. Anyway after talking with my new RE, I was so ready to jump back in and asked if we could start tonight? He said think it over some, talk it over with dh and then we'll come up with a plan when you guys are both ready, but it's up to you guys which way you want to go. Apparently I tend to rush into everything with him (ready or not :lol: ) In the meantime, I haven't heard back from my old clinic since I called them on Monday and went by on Tuesday to ask for my medical records, surprises me a little since they are usually aggressive and persuasive to keep you there. Sometimes you wish they could work together though, it's going to be a pain getting my records pulled.

What's crazy is this out of town RE gets ALOT of his referrals from my favorite trusted obgyn and their business is linked together online, so to me that speaks volumes. Whenever I visit my obgyn I notice the fertility brochures and my obgyn is the one who told me about the financing they offer, with the Attain program. So this is what I'm talking about...Doctors working together to make dreams happen!

Oh-Em-GEEEEEEEEE ladies.... I cannot believe what I just saw today! I am pregnant with FOUR babies right now! My Dr was shocked that they all took. We did a three day transfer because they were not all that good of quality. Only one was real good. I am in SHOCK! I cannot believe it. I am measuring 5wkd5days. That's great! I have never had a good ultrasound and I really didn't think I was going to have one this time either. Boy was I wrong! I go back next week to see the heartbeats.

Nancy - congrats on your u/s as well!!! How exciting!

RMB- Holy Moly, what was dh's reaction? This only happens one in a million, right? I know you are thrilled but nervous at the same time. It's going to take a while for the news to soak in, definately take it one day at a time. When is the next u/s? :D

RMB ~ CONGRATULATIONS 4 times, that’s great news!!!!

easley4 ~ It’s hard to believe that the tigger is still giving you two strong lines. I am thinking it’s a BFP.

Sunshine1576 ~ I think this new RE is exactly what you needed. It is amazing with all the let downs how we are able to bounce back and cycle again and still be excited to do so.

NancyB ~ Congratulations on hearing your little baby’s heart beat. Here is to a healthy and uneventful pregnancy!!!

Easley- When was your transfer? I have to go back and look. I've been testing since 5dp5dt and been getting stark white neg! I would be getting excited if I was you.

RMB- OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4! That's insane. Congrats. I wish you the best, happy, healthiest pregnancy ever!

Nancy- Congrats on the wonderful heartbeat!

Sunshine- The RE sounds wonderful. I think you are one the right track for sure.

Wndrgrl- FRER is supposed to test at 25mil. They have been tested to be as low as 12.5. You can go to www.peeonastick.com for some interesting hpt information. I ended up getting some equate-Walmart brand ones today. I'm tired of looking at the FRER.

I can't seem to scroll back any further for info so forgive me if I missed you.

I'm getting super ancy waiting for my beta on Fri. At least the hives are gone. I still have the red spots but they no longer itch. I'm pretty crampy still but am trying not to read into any symptoms.

Good luck all!

I'm still shaking. I tested this morning with a FRER test. It was in a 2 pack where they had a normal one and then a digital one to "confirm." Well I just did the digital one and it said "Yes+". I think I got a BFP! I'm going to test again tomorrow morning to see. Shoot I might test tonight. Beta is on Saturday morning.

False positives are very rare right?
