Well, ladies i went in this morning for my 3rd beta and i am so scared right now. The number went up on beta number 2 but not that much so i'm a little nervous. I pray it went up even more this time and not dropped. Please pray for me and i'll update this afternoon once i get results.

Yes, I do go there for treatment. Wow you have a 2-3 hour drive....Yes, I do hope and pray it works again...We transferred three in August 06. They told me the protocol is two now. But, we are going to transfer three again with the FET. I sure hope it works out for you. If you need anything while you are in town don't hesitate to call. 501-834-0644.

My poor DH! He has been so patient with me. I am having a hard time communicating with my doctors nurses....I don't know why they are making things more difficult...I am going to personally address it my next appointment.... I am a little more chilled out today, but I definitely have side effects from my estrogen patch. I am having headaches, difficulty concentrating and just feel sluggish! yeah!

How are doing?? You must be so excited!! Although I siked myself up for twins the first go around, I am hoping for one this time! We will see!

Oh my gosh Irena- I'm so sorry!
I feel so bad for you- I know DH is having such a hard with this and now more.
I'll be praying that all is okay. Will you know more for sure tomorrow?
How are you doing, are you okay?


Maybe I read/heard this wrong- but can't there be some false negatives to these numbers with twins?

My second u/s went good. It's an amazing thing to see the heartbeat. It was this little white spot just fluttering away, almost like a little bean swimming. It was awsome!!

Baby A has a heartbeat of 106
Baby B has a heartbeat of 108
Baby C is hiding behind baby B and couldn't detect a good heartbeat. They said that by next week we should be able to see it!

SO, we are still with a Triple pregnancy! We saw a white spot in the sac! We just couldn't see it fluttering because it was behind baby B.....

So we wait for next week 9/17!!


Irene ~ I will that everything turns out okay.

Irena With my ds we were told there was a 2-3% chance that he had Down's. I never had an amnio and worried for 4 months and he's fine. Stay positive - the chance is very small that there is something wrong. I know how stressful this is and my heart goes out to you . I know you said your dh is the nervous type....

Latlasan I hope everything is OK. Did you hear yet?

Rebekah - I hope DH calms down some after the genetic counseling and that you're OK too. I've heard about some of those prenatal tests not being all that reliable and mostly just scaring people.

Tish - Congrats on seeing the heartbeats!

Latlasan - Any word?

I had my u/s this morning and my lining looks exactly the same as it did on 8/25. I guess I must have made some extra that my uterus decided it didn't need after all. So we're still on to transfer tomorrow at 10:15 CST. We stay there for an hour afterward (and I WILL be taking advantage of the bed pan right away this time!), then we have a 2.5 hour drive home followed by bed rest, so I probably won't post until Friday.

Yes, it was the first time we saw heartbeats!
Our heartbeats were 108 and 106, I see a lot of girls who have 1st heartbeats in the 120's and 170's.

Does ours look to be low??? Just wondering....

That's great! Good luck tomorrow- lots of prayers and your way!

Just curious- on your ride home- are you sitting up or laying down? Does your RE reccomend one way or another? I have to drive about 3 hours for my transfer at the end of the month as was just curious.
Hoep it all goes well!

Tisha- Yay for heartbeats. I think I read somewhere when the heart is just starting out it works it's way up so next time they may be higher. I wouldn't worry if I were you.

Irena- Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Casb- So happy for you!

AFM I have been wired up today. This is miserable. I can't take a shower and the sticky things on my chest are itchy and driving me NUTS! I can't wait until tomorrow when they take these things off.
