[MoBaby]

[BabyD225]

Oh no Ash!!! Consider Cornell or Mt. Sinai or NYU.. so many to choose from. What will your plan be going forward? Do you have frozen embies? hugs to u.. if you need a real hug I'll be in the upper east side tonight xo

baby - I've looked at the success rates at columbia but not the others, I will look into it. I did consider going to RMANJ because they have better success rates than RMANY which is where I'm going now. It's in mooristown NJ so it's pretty close to me, and I think I could having my monitoring down at NY and get the ER and ET done at NJ in their lab. I just don't understand why I haven't even had a chemical or anything. I'm just so confused and feel hopeless at this point.

My OH and I considered taking a break but I don't know yet ...I obviously need to think about it for a few days since it's a huge decision.

Definitely will be using the FET just not sure when.

BabyD I hope your little one keeps growing...that's definitely good news and sounds very hopeful!! Slow starters DO happen, I really hope that's the case for you!

Oh Ash I'm so sorry! It never gets any easier to hear a bfn. I hope you have luck with switching clinics, sometimes that seems to do the trick.

Are you in NJ now or still in the city? Cornell has some of the highest success rates in the country... I'd try there if it's not too much of a hike.. I use NSLIJ hospital in Manhasset, LI.. I can't even begin to imagine whats going on... have they run a scratch test or to see why you're not implanting.. or a test on the embryos? I'd ask for testing... I know it seems like you want to take a break.. and if you do, that's ok.. but i think more than anything you need answers or else you'll always think about this. FX'd for you... xo

L4Hope.. it just dawned on me that this was you- the new picture threw me off.. so pretty!!! So since we're only a day apart.. I'm 7w2d... my heartbeat yesterday was 120... does that sound too low? I know I'm developing 5 days behind.. When is your next U/S?

Ash so sorry to hear about your negative beta. Have they recommended you try a endo scratch before your next try? It seems to improve implantation rates. Just a thought of something that might be able to help. Sorry again I am thinking about you.

Babyd - that is awesome news! Hang on lil one we are cheering you on.

 

[alicatt]

Lotus! Can't wait to hear how your BETA went! EEK! It is 1pm EST! Any news? I know you are in AZ so it is only 10? I think?

Ash - so sorry that you've had another BFN. You are in the same boat I am (unfortunately) with 2 failed IVFs (I think)? It really sucks I'd speak with your current FS, and see if they think you should do any additional testing. We did the immunology and clotting factor testing to see if there were any issues with me and implantation failure. That is when they uncovered the NK cells. The other thing they can do is the scratch of your uterus to help improve implantation. I'm having the scratch in a few weeks, then the following month will be my FET. Take your time and think about what you want to do, there isn't any rush your little is there waiting for you! Plus as others have said, there are many different clinics in the NYC region that all sound very promising!

BabyD - That is amazing news.. maybe your baby just took a bit longer to implant? So it is 5 days behind, but otherwise just fine? Very encouraging news.

Hi ladies - I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am supposed to start down regging once my period starts. I am about 3 days late now but no BFP. I had a CL cysts from a medicated cycle back in December -Jan and then had a normal cycle where I ovulated late but had a normal LP. This month now my LP which is usually 14 to 15 days is at 17 and counting. I am not sure what to think....do you think the cysts from 2 cycles ago could be causing this or is there a chance I migth have gotten a miracle but very shy bfp?????

 

[BabyD225]

Alicatt- Thanks.. I'm not sure what to think.. i test a BFP at 7dp3dt.. so I dont think I implanted late... its still undersized and my HCG has been low.. I'm hoping a miracle still happens!! xo

Are you on progesterone, or were you on progesterone? If so that will make your LP a little longer. The progesterone level has to fall back down before your period can start, so that can take 1-4 days. I remember after one of my IUIs it was very later. I know this sounds silly, but take a HPT, that usually brings AF on for me! Or have that can often get things going.

babyd when i had ascan at 6.5 week hb was 117.... dr said normal. a week later i was the same and dr said range is 120- something at 7 weeks and not to be alarmed it wasjust a few beats off so im sure you are fine!

oh i hope this doesnt scare you moreb/c i had a mc but i judt wanted to tell u what dr saidwas normal!

 

[ttcbaby117]

allicat - thanks but no this was a natural cycle...as my dr wanted me off of all meds prior to starting IVF. That is why i am puzzled. Would the cysts from a few months ago cause this ya think?

 

[FirstTry]

Ash: I'm sorry to hear about your BFN. I wonder if the scratch would help. I already made an appt to speak with my RE about next steps, even though my beta isn't til Monday.

BabyD: that sounds awesome! But you are right to be skeptical. I'm hoping for the best for you.

IDK? I was just looking at your chart and FF didn't think you O'd? If it did I think the lines would have been solid. So maybe you O'd later then you think or possibly not at all?

After my last IVF my body has been really off, and I haven't had a normal cycle since! I think it just takes time for our bodies to get back to normal again. My FS had me induce my period with provera. It is either that or just wait and be patient. It will come.. aren't our bodies annoying? ARGH.

Ash- I am so so sorry. This crap just isn't fair.

I called and a nurse told me that they have the results, but the Dr hasn't added her instructions yet. She decided to tell me the number anyway, and it was 1,140. It should have doubled twice, but it didn't even double once from the last beta, which was 665. I feel absolutely gutted right now. I sent my DH a message, but he hasn't gotten back to me. The doctor hasn't called either to tell me the next step. I am staying with my inlaws and my MIL had a planned trip so she hung out with me for a couple extra hours, but then she had to go. I don't get it. How can my luck be this bad?

Aw thanks BabyD! It only took me a year to figure out how to add pictures I read that at 6weeks the normal range is 103-126 and at 7 weeks 126-149. So if you are about 5 days behind I think your heartrate is just fine. Also I think it's important that it keeps getting stronger. Your betas, while low still increased and same with the heartbeat. Obviously we know only time will tell..but I think it looks very promising. When I miscarried I had a low heartrate in the 90's at 6weeks I forget how many days. When I went back a week later the heartbeat was gone. So you are improving with every step. I know it's hard to get too excited as you are worried it could still go wrong..hell I'm still nervous so I know how nervous you are. But try to think positive and hope for the best! My next ultrasound is next Monday 3/18...day before you I think.

lotus this crap is so unfair im sorry!

 

[L4hope]

Oh Lotus I'm sooo sorry! I really thought you were going to have a sticky bean this time. It's so hard to process why it has to be this hard for you when others just stumble upon it so easily with little to no effort. It's just not fair!
