I guess I will be joining too. We just found out last Friday that IVF #2 was a . We were very hopeful as we had a low BETA on 4/1 (Some April Fools Joke!), but instead of doubling, the level dropped. We meet with our RE next week and hopefully we will be able to try again in June. I am a teacher and would really like to try when things are a little less stressful eventhough I think we could try again in May.
We really love our RE but after 2 failed IVFs we are trying to decide if we should at least get another opinion. He is an excellent Dr., and we have many issues other than my endo. The plan is to do ICSI this time as we have discovered that my eggs don't fertilize well (only 2 last time), and DH's sperm is excellent. Any advice? How long did you wait before getting a 2nd opinion?
