June IVF? !
Getting ready to start ivf #2..started bc and will start femura on the 27th..then adding lupron , follistim, progesterone shots and suppositiories! The femura and oil shots are new.......had a chemical in March after having only 2 to transfer..1 perfect..1 ..ok...........Anyone else getting ready to!start? It sure helps to have company! Oh I have also been taking DHEA and started acupuncture in April and chinese herbs!
So sorry about this but it looks like you are in good hands. I always find it very encouraging when the RE thinks out of the box and try to fix the situation and use different things to actually make it happen rather than just keep having failed ivfs.
we are here for you and please do not be sad.

glad to hear all's well and how lovely to hear a heartbeat! Try n take it easy for a bit. thinking of you and sending positive vibes for the rest of the pregnancy.
I think I'm out this cycle too. My latest ultrasound showed the uterus cavity open - and so soon after the IVF.
This usually happened in my IUI cycles (but much later after the O day) and each time my doc knew there hasnt been successful implantation. Though each time we continued all medications till betas proved it had failed.
This time he seemed as disappointed and started telling me what he will do different next time. He says he will do a couple of IUI cycles to work on the endometrium and tweak out how to get it to the best size and condition for implantation as there's no point having the best embryos if the uterus won't let them implant.
I cried a bit, but had to gather myself as I don't want to send my dh into depression as happened last time. So after letting it out a bit on my way home from the clinic I tried to be normal. Only told my sister and my 2 closest friends and then told them not to call me as any sympathy would have me reeling.
The tough thing is that I'm caught hanging, feeling it hasnt worked but not believing it totally. Somewhere in me the hope lingers that it may still work. But I don't want to hope if it hasnt because even if there is 1% hope I feel I will keep on holding on to it and then be as devastated at the beta as before.
On top of that, I have to keep getting all the medications and wish I could just stop it all and accept a failed cycle and cry and moan a bit but then move on. I feel it is useless to be taking the medicines, suppositories and shots for no point if it has failed.
Beta won;t be till a couple ofweeks from now, assuming AF gets delayed by the toxic levels of progesterone I am getting orally, vaginally and intramuscularly...
So I wait, I fear, I hope, I pray, and I play silly computer games in all my free time to get my mind to not think.
Sorry for venting, needed to get this off my chest. Thank you all for being there, it means the world to me.

U/s is Wednesday 14th July - so 7 weeks counting from 2 weeks before ET. I don't think it is even worth trying to get it moved earlier unless I have a very good reason and that won't include complete paranoya!. I guess they do 7 weeks to avoid situations whereby people panic at 6 weeks when they can't see the HB.
Kahlua, trh0819 - how did you get on today?

mystery 77 & Kahlua 141- i know the wait is excruciating! first week you're still on cloud 9 then 2nd week you start to doubt your preggers because of no symptoms. Dont worry about not having symptoms yet, most likely its way too early as i didn't have any symptoms either and felt the same as you.
Mystery77-when are you scheduled for your first u/s? cant you call them and ask them to move the date up? Make sure you wait til you're at least 6weeks this way you'll have better chance of hearing a hb, however, some people hear it at 7 weeks so dont fret if you dont hear one at 6wks.
kahlua141-good luck with your ultrasound, waiting to hear how it goes.
