Guys, I think I am out I have my beta tomorrow but all on HPT's so far...don't really have much hope left. I'm going to order my file from my RE and go get some second opinions (am thinking I should have done this sooner but my RE offered me a generous discount last cycle). Anyway, this will be another unanswered cycle...no reason it didn't work, 5 day embryos looked beautiful, all my levels were great, we tried IVIg, etc...so I am officially "unexplained" and don't know what to do next.

Sue, I am so sorry.....I don't know what else to say, but I'm sorry never seems like enough, just know that I will keep that your day will be here soon.

I do have a few thoughts....Have all of your IVF attempts been w/ the same RE? And, in your sigy, you say "mild endo, i think" - have you had a lap?

Sending a your way.....take care of yourself and I hope you'll stick around here.

I feel like every IVF we get closer and this one I want the real baby in 9 months!!!

Next beta is Tuesday. OUr RE doesn't perform "routine " betas on the weekend. Monday I can't get there in time for the morning blood draw so I am praying this pink spotting will slow down or STOP until Tuesday.

I also need to get off these PIO shots whenever possible. I am running out of locations on my tush.LOL.


Hope everyone who is PUPO is doing well drinking lots of grape juice and eating pineapple.

Kellie-Good luck today with your beta.

I'm glad you are feeling more positive. It is a great sign that it is decreasing. Hope you have a restful Sunday!!

Oh I'm so sorry A second opinion sounds like a great idea. The different docs have different success rates and some docs seem to do so much better than others.

Stephanie I love your going crazy in the 2 ww box in your signature.

I am getting a little nuts myself. I won't take a hpt until Tuesday morning though I've been very tempted. My dh was concerned about me POASing b/c of how sad I get when it is a bfn. I'm a little worried b/c I don't feel pregnant. I'm trying not to expect a bfn but it is hard. Not sure why I feel so negative about my chances today I'm usually very upbeat...

Angie - Yup, all IVFs were with the same RE. In december, I had what we thought was an ectopic, so I was scheduled for a D & C and Lap, during the lap, he found what he called "very minor endo on the outside of your uterus" and removed it. He also did a hysteroscopy. So, I know that I have mild endo, but there is no indicator that it has affected anything...according to my nurses after the surgery, I have "beautiful tubes" and my uterus looked good and clear of any damage/scar tissue. So, I am assuming that the endo is preventing implantation, but am not sure b/c it was so "minor". So, I was hoping to go to Colorado, but it looks like I will actually try somewhere closer in NYC since I am only 4 hours away and my family is still in the NYC area, so I have a cheap place to stay. I will have to save up for a while in order to do this out of pocket so I am considering taking some time off to save up and try again when we can afford to.

My understanding of my history is that I had such a poor response to cycle 1 that I shouldn't even consider that a "real" cycle - my embryologist said the embies were still alive but looked terrible. Then #2, we got pregnant, but lost it (either ectopic or early m/c), #3 was a straight BFN so going in to this cycle, they said I was still in the 1 for 2 or 50% area, but its now not looking so good....not sure what to think.

Thanks. I am trying to look forward, which I am usually better at. I really thought this one was going to be my .

Thank you so much!! It is exactly how I feel!!!!

I honestly did not think I would be this crazy but I have surpised myself.

There are plenty of women who have not "felt" pregnant that have gotten beautiful BETAs!!! I can't wait to hear the results of the HPT!! for two beautiful lines!!
