No, and it's starting to worry me. She usually calls by 9 or 9:30. I know today is my RE's transfer day so maybe she's busy with that...I hope. I know what you mean about waiting for the next one. I stressed so much the night before each beta that I couldn't sleep. Just things are going in the right direction.

kristin - congrats that is an awesome beta number

jana - no worries sweetie, they do say it should double every 49 hours but it is actually more 48 - 72 hours, so you are fine. the important thing is that it keeps rising. keep those positive thoughts going!!!

Congrats to all of those with s!!!!!! Wow!!! This was so great to see.

I have been away for a bit trying to keep my mind off of things but it looks like Thursday will be my "day 1" with an estimated retrieval somewhere between July 14-18.

I will try and catch up and read past posts! I can't wait to see what all of you have been up to.

I feel really positive about my next round of IVF. I hope all of these pregnant vibes are with me this time around!

Take care,
Patricia
