Beta on the 6TH

I am new to the forum.  I am on my first IVF cycle and will take the blood test on Monday.  II was reading some of the postings and found out that there are 3 or 4 of us that will be doing that on 8/6.  I wanted to wish everyone the best.  It's been an extremely trying time and I'm doing all I can to just stay positive.  Well, I'll be thinking of everyone on Monday.

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story-- you are truly a survivor and an inspiration.  You are so right about us having many blessings-- the day after my transfer I wrote notes to all the people in my life that had been so wonderful throughout the experience-- I wrote that no matter the outcome, I would always look back with fondness at the love and support I received during this time.  This forum has also been a blessing since I found it during my two week wait-- a very difficult time for me.  I will be thinking of you tomorrow and those 2 little embies!!!!!  I pray that you finally receive a little bundle of your own.  Stay strong and positive!!!!!  Keep us posted and rest as much as you can during the next few days.

Tomorrow is the big day for me and lord knows I am so scared!  At this point, I don't know what to expect.  One would think that after having 4 postives on hpt that I would rejoicing.  But I think that I am more scared than before taking the hpt.  Boy, this day is going by extremely slow.  I have work to do but can't focus. You know what, I am in the military and I should be able to handle situations like the but I can't.................Anyone comments?????

Miss Suga,  I know how you feel...  the two weeks of waiting was more difficult for me than any of the shots, blood tests, etc.  I just found out about my negative results today and in a strange way I feel better now that I KNOW.  Waiting around, driving yourself crazy with symptoms or not is exhausting.  I found this forum during my two weeks and it's been an absolute blessing.  Before I actually posted, I was getting inspiration from just reading everyone else's postings.   Small miracles in a difficult situation for all of us.  Good luck to you and you will be in my prayers.  

mstrex,  Thanks so much for the address.  I will contact you soon.  Take good care of YOU!!!!

We had 4 embies day five and we were afraid but our contract with the donors said we had to use all four and they all thawed and were in same container so we went for it. I figured that what ever god gave us we would handle. Sweedy put back 6 and none took for her either. They were grade 3 and 4 AA and ab. But this was a FET cycle and there is less of a percentage with frozen embies. The donors were 24 and 25. I am not sure why the did not take but like I said before we will try again with donated and do another FET. We have nothing to loose at this point.

Carina1 I will give you what I can...what questions do you have?????Email me at ***@**** and I will send you a pic of all our foster children.

Hey mstrex, I hope you don't mind me asking some questions.  I saw where you had 5 embies (day 4) transfered.  Weren't you a little scarred they might all take?  Also, do you know the age of the donor, why do you think they didn't take?  That is crazy, it sounds like at least one should have implanted.  What grade embies were they?  I am thinking about using donor eggs.  The percentage of pregs. goes up to like 60% when you use donor eggs.  Right now I think the percentage rate is like 27%.

There is somewhere posted on this site where people donate embies and I heard it is either less or the same as adoption fees and you get to carry your baby.  You might want to look into that if you are not planning to do another IVF.

I know what you mean. I am 44 and we did one ivf in Dec which was out of pocket our ins does not cover ivf. We got our bfp only to loose it at 4 weeks. We turned to adoption as we have been foster parents for three yrs. We were two days away from signing the contract and paying the fee to start the process we had the homestudy and everything done when I started surfing the web. One day I found the site miracles waiting .org. We signed on and within a week had someone donate 4 embies. our total cost for shipping storage and the procedure was 2500 compared to the 17000 for fresh cycle with donor eggs. We now have been fortunate enough to have a second person donate another 4 embies and it is only through this that we are able to try again. I wish we were lucky enough to do fresh cycle but it cost to much and we would like you to have enough to adopt is all other efforts fail. Look at the site and see what you think.....I am a nurse and dh is a civil eng. so we are not rich by any means . I had my tubes tied (stupid move thought I would be married to high school sweetie forever) and they were damaged beyond repair so this is our only option. Good luck...let me know what you think okay...

This support is simply amazing.  I can't tell you have if feels to have people sharing similar experiences.  Ilenda, I'm a few months away from 35, with a fluctuating FSH that doesn't give me too much time.  I'm meeting the dr again next week to discuss her recommendations.  I don't know what we'll do.  My dh wanted to try just once-- I think he really thought it would work the first time.  My insurance covers 75%, which I know is much better than others-- but for us, (my husband's a social worker and I'm a speech therapist at a school-- just making it in NYC) it's financially difficult.  I also worry about not having any money to put towards adoption after so many IVF's.  I never thought this would happen to us-- we've always tried so hard to do the right thing.  I can't get beyond feeling this is all so unfair.

I am sorry carina.  This was my second failed IVF.  I hope you're not going to give up.  I am 39 and the success rate declines a lot for my age group.  The first BFN was the hardest for me.  I just knew if I could ever afford IVF then I could get pregnant, but it didn't happen.  We just have to keep trying.

ugggggggggggh today has been the worst. I know of six betas today and none have been good news. What is wrong did all the labs make a mistake today. They must have all gotten together on the phones and started a conspiracy or something. Come on what were the odds of all six of us coming up neg?????This is just to weird here . I can say that at least I do not feel so alone now. All of us need to go out and have a drink and toast each other. You have to admit that we have to stay strong and cannot let this stop us. At least most of you used your own eggs or donor We have to find and search for embies to adopt and they are hard to find. We were fortunate in finding another set and are in the process of getting them moved to our clinic but the thing is this is the last set unless we get lucky again.....Hang in there girls.
