Thanks Starflower! That is encouraging to hear! 
I had my appt. yesterday and asked my RE this question. (via nurse and tech of course) They said that once my hcg returned to zero, the miscarriage should not affect the results of my fsh test. But, it seems that different people have different opinions so who knows. They weren't as doom and gloom as I'd feared though.
I had three follicles (with a little help from follistim). She upped my dose to 300 units, and we're planning to proceed with IUI again. (they'll be re-checked on Fri) I think my saving grace is my DH has lots of sperm! If that doesn't work, then we're planning on doing the birth control/lupron protocol. I guess I'm not a candidate for IVF because I'm not producing enough. But IUI semi-"worked" last time to achieve preg. just need the spermie to find a GOOD egg!
Nonetheless, plan B is adoption, which I am currently researching. I seem to be slowly making peace with either outcome. (at least ebbing and flowing from one emotion to the other... hoping eventually I'll have a permanent flow to acceptance!)
It looks like your pregnancy is progressing very well so far!! That's wonderful, and it's nice to see a success story!!

Have appt. with new RE on Feb. 25th to discuss options, possibly moving on to DE.
He suggested modified cornell protocol, and I flunked. He canceled cycle. But, we got a suprise on that cycle anyway (the old fashioned way!)
At 7 week US, saw that embryo stopped developing at 5 weeks.
Will do three natural cycles, then DE.
