May IVF cycle support

Anyone in an IVF cycle that just started or starting in May? Why not have a chat/support group to keep each other going?? My embryo transfer should be around May 10th... Would love to share and have some support along the way. This is my last chance with a fresh cycle (using a donor this time) so I"m getting nervous. Thanks!!!

B74 - I am so sorry it did not work.  What day did you transfer - is it still early??  I thought our timing was similar??  
Foxy - I am also sorry you are going through this - how stressful!  I agree that if you Re thinks there is a chance then maybe there is.  I can see where weird things could happen with IVF since there are multiple embryos.  Best of luck.

Keep hanging in there! If your RE's office told you that story about someone going through a similar experience, then they must think there is some hope! Everyone at my RE's office is always very straightforward, whether you want to hear what they have to say or not, and no matter how devastating their words might be, so I would be very confident about the chances for a good outcome if I were in your situation. I sincerely hope that your RE's office is just as forthcoming and wouldn't give you even the slightest chance of false hope. That wouldn't be helpful to anyone.

Congrats to the BFP HCG numbers! I got bad news this afternoon. Within 24 hours my numbers went from 699 to 412. I'm still bleeding.  I'm not feeling any pg symptoms anymore, so I'm positive that I'm losing everything! I go for one more round of blood.  If the number still drops then it's definite I'm miscarrying everything and RE will bring me in for another u/s to confirm and then give me some sort of shot to stop the bleeding and also help with the miscarrying process. Have now idea what it is and how it really works but I'm sure I'll find out.  They are still giving me some hope that 1 has stuck and is growing nicely.  They told me a story about another woman in the practice who was pg with twins in December and bled for an entire month, wound up losing 1 twin but has a healthy singleton pregnancy.  Her numbers dropped, went up, dropped again and then went up again. So anything is possible, but I'm not feeling so hopeful anymore.

My plan is to remain off my feet the entire weekend. Had a very busy day at work and barely sat down for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Your message encouraged me as I feel it comes at a certain time of the day too!  Usually at the end of the day and I wondered if it meant I was doing too much?  I would just suggest take it easy as much as possible and I agree with you in that there is no point walking around in fear.  Let's just keep positive thoughts and enjoy whatever there is!  One thing though, my doctor told me to go for a rhogam shot at the hospital?

My thoughts and prayers with everyone particularly B74.

Hi ladies,

I'm not sure if I'll be able to post anything this weekend (I'm having problems with internet access at home), but wanted to let you know that I'm praying for all of you.

If I may be so bold to ask, if you could send positive thoughts and prayers my way as well (hoping that implantation will occur this weekend), I would be so thankful and indebted to all of you.  I WANT to feel and experience the symptoms so I'm not in the dark and left to wonder what's going on....
