I just started it yesterday (2x a day) and will continue it along with the PIO. My progesterone levels are low so I need to do both (in fact, anxiously waiting for phone call now . . .)

I definitely have leakage and my nurse said that was completely normal. I'm still paranoid, though, so I try and stay in bed for a while after.

Hi ladies
I'm posting this on the other May thread as well. Just wanted to let everyone know that I had another beta and it was a 7 so I stop the PIO tonight and go in on wed to confirm that I had a very early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy). I'm sitting a month out IVF wise b/c the Dr thinks it will give us a better chance of getting a positive with the frozen cycle but we will try on our own and pray for a miracle. It looks like if the natural cycle doesn't work our FET will be in July so I will prob switch over to that thread but I wish you guys the best and will check back to see how you made out.

Looking forward to being able to sleep again on my back and sides once my tush returns to normal. Third beta is Monday!! I need all your prayers.

Good Luck today with the Beta!!!!!!

I POAS at 7dpt and got a faint line, but even if it's negative it's could still be too early. So some choose not to POAS, but I couldn't resist myself.

Good luck I'll keep my for you!

Hi everyone ..

thank you for letting me part of all the joys going on here. But, as is the way with IVF .. we got some very sad news today .. my Beta was only 15.

I almost wish it was just a BFN .. we keep getting close and I feel far too hopeful.

I guess I expected it since the HPT lines were so faint. But, we really felt that this was our time. We aren't sure if we will do IVF again.

I cried a lot today .. but, I know I am lucky in a lot of ways and it will eventually be fine.

Good luck to everyone.

Tara.

Hi ladies,

Missed you all......

We have been out of town trying to relax for the end of the 2ww. We returned Monday afternoon for my beta. AF was no where in sight, and we were soooooo cautiously optimistic......I POAS Monday evening and it was , RE called yesterday to confirm what we already knew......needless to say, we are devastated.

Not sure where we'll go from here.......

Thanks for checking on me.....we went on a mini-vacay for a long weekend, and the past few days, I've been trying to deal with our news. I just posted, it was a BFN.

I missed you guys too.....we did not have internet access at all (I thought I'd at least be able to check-in daily).......I'll try to catch up with everyone later today.

A mini vacation would be the best way to get away during the 2ww. I am Soooo sorry about your news. Time does heal and helps guide you towards a future decision. You were a wonderful cycle buddy and I hope to see you back on the boards soon.

Hi everyone -

I've been checking in here and there to see how everyone is doing but not posting much lately. I just wanted to say to Angie -I am so sorry! I absolutely know (as do many of us) how hard it is to deal with a BFN. IVF gives us so much hope that it is just crushing when it comes back negative. Please take time to mourn this cycle and then try again. If you are anything like me, I cry for a few days, get off of the meds, get and start to look forward and feel positive again...so I hope you take the time to grieve and then come back stronger.

Audra - I'm so sorry about this cycle. I know it hurts a lot to go through the happiness of a BFP and then lose it so soon. You sound pretty strong right now...hopefully DH is a pretty tough rock right now too. My DH is a wonderful rock wall for me to lean on...and my nurses say that the women with the most supportive DH's are the ones who handle all these challenges the best....

So, I am going ahead with another cycle right away. I have 2 consults with new RE's but in the meantime was planning a few injectible IUI's. Well, my RE's office has been very generous and is allowing me a hugely discounted cycle to do another IVF right away, so we went for it. I've already started the stims again...though I am keeping this on the backburner, pretending like I am not, in fact, doing an IVF cycle, and going ahead with all my RE consults anyway...hopefully I can keep this relaxed "no big deal" attitude:-) So, I'll be checking in but am avoiding joining a group for fear I'll get too into it again, lol.

But, I miss all of you and I'll be checking in to see how everyone is doing:-)
