My level is stalling out . It came in at 233 today. So, we will do an u/s tomorrow as scheduled to see what is going on. Started spotting, so if I start bleeding tonight I am going to call in the morning to see if we can cancel the u/s. Unfortunately, no good news!! Thanks for all the thoughts today. It has truly meant a lot. It has been extremely helpful to have this group of women to talk with during this process. I wish the best of luck to everyone with bfp and those in the 2ww. For those who have started new cycles, I hope to join you in a few weeks!

There was no sack visible on the u/s. My lining is very thick so they said to expect a lot of cramping over the next few days as AF arrives. I still have to watch for excessive bleeding or cramping, but hopefully it will just pass easily. Congrats to all those with BFP and increasing betas. Best of luck over the next 9 months.

Still waiting for 2nd beta ... !!!

arrrrrghh... why are they taking so long to call me?? I am feeling so terrified... staring at my cell phone, waiting for THE call ! With each passing minute, my optimism declines by a bit... sitting here with my DH. Having him hug me while we wait makes me feel a little better.

and really hard right now ....

Whew !!! Beta #2 is in, and all's well

beta #2 = 548.... so doubling (almost).
Next beta scheduled for Monday (many long days away)... but at least in the right direction.

so very very grateful for this journey we are on... and with each painful excrutiating step, we cross a new hurdle... and wait for the next.

hugs to all... and thanks so so much for your support. I cant do this without you...

Anj

Well, ladies I finally POAS because I wanted to be prepared for the BETA call today...and both sticks were negative. So I have another chemical. I have secondary infertility, so I am blessed to have children....sometimes I feel like I was being greedy for wanting another and that's why it's not working out. But no matter the reason....seems we are done trying. I keep thinking that I could go have my tubes untied...but seriously at some point I have to say enough is enough, this is just too much of an emotional roller coaster and every failed cycle has brought me closer and closer to depression, which I don't want.

Anyhow....it's kind of hard this morning as my husband just got up as normal, went to work and he's planning on going fishing tonight....nice huh? I mean each person has a way of dealing with it, but leaving me to cry it out alone just seems a bit mean. Not to mention I homeschool and today I have to test my oldest....oh well atleast this will keep my mind moving away from the bad news.

Well, I pray that all of you ladies have a happy healthy pregnancy and don't ever experience another IVF loss Everyone should be blessed with a baby if that is their desire, and I'm thankful for what God has blessed me with....so I pray he lets all of you have uneventful pregnancies , beautiful babies and wonderful full lives.

Oh Indie I am so sorry I have been following your journey and have been for some good news. Are you still waiting for your RE to call today about your 3rd beta?

I know what you mean about DH's dealing differently, with my 3 ectopics DH was able to pick up and move on while I was a miserable mess for weeks. Never feel greedy for wanting more children! I pray your dreams come true for you soon
