I just never knew that you could call a RE's office and actually get a person to talk instead of leaving a message on a machine. My old RE's I always had to leave a message. I just called the other RE that is with the same clinic as my first and a person actually answered the phone.

So the good thing about my rambling is I have an appointment the 23rd to discuss a new protocol with the other RE. YEAH!!!!

JDC Thanks for the tip on warming the PIO. I usually get it ready the sit with it in my hands for 10 minutes trying to 'warm it' but it sounds like i need a bit more heat then!!! I looked everywhere for one of those bean filled microwave things! I remember my mom had one years ogo and i used it when i had a bad neck once. No one has ever seen it since and i was forced to buy a hot water bottle instead.

To Have Fun Wow the 23rd, thats really soon. It will be good to get a positive direction for your next cycle right before Christmas!!!!

Hi Kas - Decided to come out of lurking. I wanted to wish you best of luck on this cycle, I sure hope all your dreams come true this holiday season. I've got my fingers crossed for you on the 23rd.

As for me I got a BFN on this last cycle and even though I said not again, I'm considering another try after the holidays so we'll see how that works out.

Kas101 · Post by **Kas101** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 9:16 pm

Mitch Great to hear from You!!!! I'm sorry you got your BFN, i know how that really sucks. I know you said never again, but its easier said than done

As long as you want to keep going, i believe its the right decision.... Also its great that you are thinking about trying after the holidays - new year, fresh start.

I hope you will stay around, I'm needing all the support during this 2WW as i think i'm going crazy

To everyone who has sent me such kind words:

Kas, Wonderce, To_Have_Fun, noo noo, bell-02, xcited2bpreggers, jdc, wishing-4-blessings, karenvancouverisland, much hope, lynniecat, detroit2007

And jandc - I haven't seen another posting from you & I really hope things have taken a positive turn. If not, I know how you feel and we will have to get through this together.

Waiting for 4 - I know exactly what you are going through - it's just devastating.

AFM, still the same. You know how sometimes you have a really bad day and you wake up the next morning and it somehow doesn't seem that bad. Well, this is NOT like that. Every morning I still wake up feeling devastated. I really appreciate everyone's kind words and thoughts on this board - it really has helped and has given me some different perspectives. Tomorrow I'm going in for the D&C and hopefully they'll be able to get some tissue to test and we can see if we should do PGD the next time.

DH & I are going to wait until they tell us it's ok to try again and then we'll thaw our frosties and try with FET. Please keep us in your prayers. I'll probably take a break from the boards for a bit but I'll be thinking of all of you too and hope all is well!

-Robin

hey ladies - just checking in to see what's going on.

Robin611 and jandc33 - i'm so sorry to hear about your losses. i agree with the others. this result is so much worse than a BFN! please know that we're keeping you both in our thoughts and prayers and make sure to seek out all the support and help you need to get through this. take extra good care and be extra kind to yourselves.

lynniecat - so happy to hear about your BFP! i know the low beta (initially) and the bleeding had you freaked but hopefully today you got more positive news at your u/s - i think you said you had an u/s today.

chris - good luck on making your decision - and i agree with the others to follow our heart. sounds like the new doc at the old clinic is the way your leaning- than go for it. you know what is right in your heart.

marynaz - twins! that's awesome! congrats!

as for me, i'm getting by. there are moments when i'm really sad and then there are moments when i'm ok with the way things worked out. i've been trying to remind myself of all the things i can do now that we'll be living child-free - keeping the bliss of having a baby in objective perspective rather than it being only about the joy - ie, thinking about the projectile vomiting and the tantrums and the like... this is probably just a coping mechanism but hey, whatever works, right?

at the last minute we decided to travel to california to see our families at xmas. we were planning on staying here in case it was BFP but when we found out it was BFN, we thought it would be too drepressing to sit at home alone and stare at the wall. my husband had a dream last night that we got a BFP and he was all excited and then woke up to the reality of our child-free existence and that bummed him out. i think it will take some time.

i do feel like that if ithis didn't work for us - if our 2 embies didn't stick, than somehow cosmically that means that this will work for two of you ladies. like those spirits are destined to come into this universe and so hopefully they will come into two of your lives.

good luck to all you ladies and know that i'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Kas101 and Foreverlove - Hi girls was checking out your board and saw your beta is the 23rd...same as me! I feel like it's never going to get here! Are either of you going to take a hpt? I think I might try on Saturday. Well good luck and I hope you both get your BFP!!!!!!

jandc33 · Post by **jandc33** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 2:57 am

Hello ladies,

Well we got word this morning that our beta level is continuing to drop, it is now down to 60, which I found kind of ironic because that was the number we started at when we found out we were pregnant. These last few days have really been a roller coaster, a lot of tears and unanswered questions, but we will pull through-not giving up yet. I thought the whole process of miscarrying and the beta would be quicker but still having a lot of bleeding and cramping and the nurse said that can last until the beta level returns to the negatives, which I also thought would be sooner.

Robin-you are in my thoughts. I can def relate to how you are feeling, you go from a feeling of such a high to the lowest low. I pray that you have a strong support network through all of this and that the holiday season is bringing you some sense of joy.

Waiting 4-I am so very sorry for your loss... It really is such a traumatic ordeal to go through and all I can say is that yes, there is going to be some very difficult days, but I pray that you find the strength to pull through.

Ladies you really have been such a source of support during a period filled with anxieties and excitement, I wish nothing more for you all than beautiful healthy babies. I wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season and that 2009 brings us all our miracles. Best of luck to you and your families.

jandc33 · Post by **jandc33** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 3:02 am

Pixie-I forgot to mention that I am very sorry for your BFN but truly admire your zest for life and sense of closure with the situation at hand. I wish you the best of luck in the future. You actually hear a lot of stories where women have given up on the fertility treatments and then out of nowhere they get pregnant, I hope that is your fate someday, but if not you sound like such a strong person and I am sure that whatever the future holds, it will be bright.

Again ladies, thanks for everything!!! Good luck on all the upcome betas! May each and everyone of you get a BFP!

Much Hope · Post by **Much Hope** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 3:08 am

HI ladies,

I am so sorry I am to tired to do any personals.

Pixie..BFN is so hard. I will pray that you have the power to try again and know that God has a plan foreach of us.. ((((((HUGS)))))

I had my second US this afternoon. DH and I are happy to annouce that baby C has pulled through and looks wonderful. her sac is measuring perfect as is she , she is actually measuring 8w 3d and her HR was 174..
Babies A and B were right on target also with HR's at 163 and 169...

We are so thrilled about baby C that we have decided that we will keep close tabs on her location and when she is born her name is to be Angelina.. Our strong lil Angel..

Well ladies I am off to bed, it has been a very long day.

Much sticky baby dust to all
Elida

Kas101 · Post by **Kas101** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 3:31 am

Much Hope Great news about Baby C, i'm so glad she is looking so strong now, definately a great choice of name for her

JandC33 Sorry to hear the confirmation that your beta is going down, I am thinking of you as that must be so hard...

Robin Again, I'm sorry. I dont know how anyone is supposed to deal with loss like this, so my heart goes out to you

Pixel Its good to hear from you, and i'm pleased you and DH are going to get away and see your family... I think you are remarkably strong and you really touched me with your words X X X

Annie Good to have someone else in the 2WW with us. So you are testing on the same day!!! I am going crazy looking for non-existent symptoms and speding waaaay too much time on the internet. How are you distracting yourself and any symptoms yet???? (see, i told you i was obsessed)

foreverlove · Post by **foreverlove** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 2:17 pm

Good Morning Ladies,

I dont have much time but wanted to say a little bit to you wonderful ladies.

Much Hope - that is awesome that baby3 is doing great - can I ask how do you know it is a little girl already? I didnt know they could tell the sex at only 8 weeks.

Jandc33 - I am so sorry - know that we are all here for you - I am sending a big hug out to you and will pray for you.

Robin, Pixel - I know this is a very hard time, but know that we are all thinking of you and are here for you if you need us.

Chris - I am so glad that you have an appt next week with the doctor. I hope that this time brings you your BFP!!!

Annie973 - Welcome, I guess the three of us are in the same place right now with this terrible 2ww. I was thinking of doing a home pregnancy test next Monday, but I decided not to, I just dont want to get bad news and then have to second guess myself the entire time then get the news again. Hopefully it will be good news, but I am trying to prepare myself just in case.

Kas101 - Hi there, I am the same as you with the symptoms, bring them on is what I say. The strange thing is I started my estrogen patches last friday (which hurt badly when taken off) and now my chest and neck are broken out. I am assuming this is what caused it, but I dont know for sure. I never have acne but low and behold yesterday I noticed my neck and chest was all broken out. Luckily it is so cold here in Ohio so I can cover it up with turtleneck sweaters.
