NY, I am so sorry. I was truly hoping your numbers would keep doubling. I hope you keep forging ahead and continue your dream of becoming a Mom.

NY4th I'm truly sorry to hear that. I was hoping your numbers would rise :( This seems so unfair and i'm thinking about you...

Melo & Amanda Sorry things didnt work out this time for guys. I know a BFN can be really hard. It cuts deep. I hope both of you will get through this and try again when you are ready and when you can. Sorry :(

Ny4thtry - Sorry your numbers didn't double. I know there are no words I can say that will take the pain away. You will be in my thoughts and prayers for both you and your DH.

Julesg, Melo_P and Amanda - I am also sorry for BFN's, I so wish we all could get a BFP. Just wave a magic wand and here ya go. Well I guess if I had that I would wave it before all the IVF stuff and we all can just get PG on our own. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Wishing you the best of luck with what you decide to do in the future.


jandc33 - Congrats on the 25 eggs, I wish I could get that many. Relax for the rest of the day and keep us posted on your fert report.

bell-02 - I know the odds are less now that you only have 1 but you will only need 1. Just ask adjec, she only transfered 1 and is what 8 weeks PG. Good luck with your FET tomorrow. I will be keeping my fingers crossed and sending you tons of sticky vibes.

Lady_J - Congrats on making it to ER!!! Good luck, wishing for a bunch of mature eggs.

Good Afternoon ladies:

Just got the call with my 2nd Beta. It more then doubled from 10dp5dt of 405 to 12dp5dt of "924"

My 1st Ultrasound will be 12/1... I really wanted more Beta's but I was told it is not needed. So now I wait 12 days for U/S I think they do this to torture us a little bit at a time. First to see how many follies, then to see how many fertilised, then to see how they are on day 3 then day 5. OMG then 2ww. then not just a oh great your preganncy test was positive, but we have to see if the numbers double.. Then wait for Ultrasounds.. wewwwwwwww, this is tough!!! This process must have been developed by a MAN!!!!!!!!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful afternoon.

wow... three posts in a row. I am sorry ladies but I am starting to worry my beta levels are high enough for being 16dp3dt. What do ya'll think? I dont want to get my hopes up just to find out in the US in 2 weeks that it just didn't make it.

waiting for 4,
I was like you too, very worried about my second beta. I think as long as it double you should be OK. sorry this is my first BFP so don't know a lot.
Anyway, I wish you healthy pregnancy.

To have fun When is your next RE appointment???? I know we are waiting for you to O..... Whats going on then ??? You take so much time thinking about everyone else and i've noiced that for the last few days you support/sympathise/give advice but you're not saying whats going on with you or how you are feeling..... Just want you to know we are here for you as well :)

As for me i am feeling kind of down today. We are seriously so broke ater all this surgery, failed IVF etc. We havespent over $30,000 this year and it's becoming a strain and i'm either in tears or in a rage the last few days. I dont even know myself anymore and i am hating who i have become....

I have paid for this cycle and now it seems due to an unforseen expense i dont even have enough money for half of my menopur, so i have been forced to post a 'begging for meds' message on the boards. I am considering cancelling my cycle until January and i'm pissed that this time last year we had a nice juicy savings account and now we worry about putting gas in the car and groceries.

Tomorrow is my last day of bcp's and so we will have to decide by Monday whether or not we can go ahead. I'm so bummed :(

Well guys i am sorry to hear some of you guys BFNs. I definitely know how you guys feel. I paid for my first IVF (still paying back my father for the last week of expensive 600 units a night of Follistim) and also had a BFN. We felt sad and frustrated. God put moving to MA in our lives and a day or two before moving up here i found out IVF was covered in MA. Here i am back on track and starting a new cycle fully covered. Everything will be fine. Just have a little bit of faith and stay on this message board you will have support 100% from every single one of us.

UPDATE My appt went really well. I love my RE she is the best. I honestly think she is more in the field than my last RE. I have a sono and b/w scheduled for SAT (Day 3 testing). From there they will call me with the results and see what my b/w tells them. My other RE only sent one page of records to them which doesn't tell my RE anything. Well she is looking to start me off as soon as she gets more info if they even have anything. I will defintely be on an aggresive protocol again maybe micro flare she suggested. Well if i remember anything else I will definitely keep you guys updated. It looks like an end of DEC/JAN transfer.

I've said it I don't know how many times but, I'll say it again - this board is so hard to keep up with!

I can't tell you how excited and happy I am for all of you whom have gotten the BFP!!! That's absolutely wonderful! :)

To those who have gotten BFN, I am so incredibly sorry, I know that there are no words that can possibly make you feel better but; may you find strength during this troubled time and find the courage to try again. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

For those whom have gone in for ER, it's such a joy isn't it? I was in quite a bit of pain after mine. I hope that everything continues to go well for us!!

I didn't see about anyone going in for ET in the next day or so but, if I missed ya: good luck and sending much sticky baby dust your way!!

The nurse I spoke with isn't my usual nurse and she got the date wrong...I was informed today by my regular nurse that my ER is actually going to be on Saturday, November 22nd. I am anxiously awaiting it and looking forward to that nail biting 2WW!

I do have a question though for those on Endometrin, I totally blanked today and forgot to ask the nurse but anyway...I am on one 100 mg insert three times a day. I have noticed some really icky discharge. Has anyone else experienced this - is this normal?
I am still bloated but I read that it is one of the side effects of Endometrin. Yipee. Oh well though, as long as I get blessed with our little miracle, it will be totally worth it!!

Well - good luck to everyone, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you!

4th Try - just wanted to say so sorry to hear of your latest beta. Is there still hope? I have heard many messages on the board of unpredictable up and down low beta's in the early stages.

Hope everyone else is well. I still just feel plain mad and frustrated every time I think about the result. Very fearful the final last chance saloon blast that I have left won't make it. If only I could afford to keep trying it would make this all so much the less stressful. It is just dreadful to think you can't have a baby because of monetary concerns. Soul destroying!
