Alflower- 6 follies sounds like a big improvement for you. Is that the most measurable follies you've ever had? I truly am hoping you are able to continue.

JOM- Whats the word on your beta?? You had it today right?

Well, despite the night sweats, it's a BFN for me. Obviously, I am really disappointed (DH doesn't know yet, he is golfing). I suppose we will meet with the RE soon and talk about options for one more try.

Oh Jom...I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could say to comfort you. I feel your pain and loss. I hope you decide to give it another try & don't lose hope.

2Lines: Congratulations; I cannot wait to hear what your beta is!!

Mouse: nice beta!! Congratulations on being !!

alfowler: I think your numbers look excellent! You should definitely be able to do IVF with those!!

AFM: I am patiently waiting for 0900 tomorrow when I get to bring my embies home. I hope that there are some good ones in this bunch...I'm scared to go in and hear what the grading may be, last time I kinda lost it when they gave me the grading.

mouse -congrats on a positive beta!!!
2 lines-yeah for a positive HPT. when is your actual beta. hope the numbers are good.
aflower- looks like you are progressing well. hhopefully this will be your cycle.
maggie, I know you poas today. LOL. hope it was darker

jom and south-I'm so sorry to hear your news . It is just so heartbreaking to go through what we go through and end up with that stupid BFN. Know that I'm thinking of you both. I hope you are both able to consider another cycle and wish you both the best. south, I'm glad you were able to get an appointment at IVF. I don't know that MD. Both my ERs were coincidently done by same MD, but I can't remmeber name. I can't remeber who did my ET's

AFM-insurance covers recurrent loss bloodwork for me and husband, so we will do that next week and then see what it says, if anything

If I could have him again I would think about going back. Over all I have been very happy with RSC I have DR. Huang and she is great. The funny thing is with all my ERS and ETS I have never had her. I feel like they have given me great attention tried with each cycle. I love my nurse Nicole. I use to talk to her more often but now I only get her once and a while. I have to say I did love speaking to the same person all the time. I feel like I have one more cycle in me and I feel as if I stay with RSC and it was - I would always wonder what if I tried someone else. So do you go in again today? Best of luck if you do

Samantha

So your Dr is out of RSC then? i know a lot of Dr's are affiliated with them so i wasnt sure if your Dr is our of a hospital. Mine is out of Umass and I have no choice but to use RSC. I like my Dr but hate how he has no control with the ER and ET since he doesnt work for RSC, you know? I couldnt just use RSC since its 1 hr away for me and I work 10min from home so it would he hard to go there everyother day around stim time but duable if I absolutly had to. I had my Day 7 u/s and b/w today, my E2 level was 500! i go back tomorrow and my Dr will do the u/s so he will be able to explain things better then the nurse who just calls to say if i need to go back. I am so nervous this time around, seeing how many cycles you have been through gives me some hope. Just seems like it works for people 1st time around.
Please stay strong, i hate the ups and downs or IVF!!! How is your DH holding up? Keep us posted!

3rdtime - I am starting early and sending you and . Can't wait to hear how things go I think it is pure evil that they will not tell us anything till we get into that room. I have a great feeling that you will have some super embies.

Justone- Nice to hear of your blood test. I hope it will help with your next steps. My RE is taking my info to the board again for next steps so I will know next friday what my current RE's plan is and then I will be able to compare it to what the others say. I feel so torn should I stay or should I go?

JP-You are soo sweet thanks. DH is upset. He loves DS so much and want another so badly and blames himself with our dx of MF but I am sure my age plays some part in it. Best of luck tomorrow this is the time when you will see great growth. Can't wait to hear how things go

3rdtime- Good luck on your transfer tomorrow!! How many are you hoping to transfer? They wouldn't tell us even if our embryos survived the thaw, until the doctor wallked in 2 minutes before my transfer. I thought I was going to go insane. Sending you all the in the whole world.

2Lines- When is your first beta again? Can't wait to see that high number.

Sam- I'm feeling good. The cramping is back. I made it through most of the day without it though. I am starting to feel a little more tired than usual. My second beta is this Sunday. I'm getting nervous about it. I hate this uneasy feeling.
