Jennifer (Giggles)--I am so sorry about your BFN. You had the perfect cycle and perfect little embryos. It is so not fair. Since you had so many, do you have frosties? I had a 2nd opinion also which I believe is a good thing for you and DH to reevaluate. My 2nd opinion was the same though but it was good to hear everything was being done. I hope time will heal your heart before your next round.
to you.

Mornin' Girls!

I will be offline most of today - heading to one of our other offices. Just wanted to thank you so much for all of your support. I think I'm out of the game. My pink spotting last night as turned to red today (sorry TMI) so I think I am going to ask the RE to bump up my beta to tomorrow AM just to get this over with.

I don't know what his plan was for a 2nd cycle - BCP's, etc he is too laid back for us, so I think we are going to get records and start to shop around for 2nd opinion. Cath, may be pinging you to ask about Boston IVF.

I wish everyone who is testing today all the best and that you get your 's! I will be thinking about you.

I am sorry Katy! I know how you feel. I am in the same boat as you. It appears AF has arrived. Ugggh! I have an appt tomorrow to get my BETA test done and we will go from there. We jumped straight to IVF thinking this would be the best route for us only to have my twin sister get pregnant with IUI on her 3rd try. We're not sure what to do. We shall see.
