Well folks, this morning's POAS was a bust. I'll hear back on beta in a few hours.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the beta is positive. My POAS was negative yesterday, so I'm not optimistic.

[mahler5]

And beta is negative. I'm a little sad but I think L is more upset. I think I was pretty sure it was negative after the POASs but L wasn't as sure. I think we are going to talk to the RE. The nurse suggested this. I don't want to delay another cycle though.

I am worried that I could be rejecting L's eggs though. We transferred one egg on fresh cycle and one frozen cycle and both were negative. I read that some women, with endometriosis for example, can be less likely to accept the egg. I don't have endometriosis. And I have had a child before, but that was IUI. So maybe for whatever reason my uterus isn't cooperating. I have read that usually half of extended blasts are abnormal. And I realize that one or even both could have been abnormal but the odds make me feel it could be more than just the eggs. Idk.

We have 3 extended blasts, a blast, and 2 grade two left. So we still have hope. And I can always try IUI with my eggs too. But costs are adding up. I think there is a good chance we will put in more than one if the next cycle fails. Or maybe even the next cycle.

I also want to ask the RE about checking my estrogen and progesterone levels. He hasn't done this either time and just did ultrasounds to confirm lining thickness. I think some other people on this board have mentioned their REs did this. If anyone has any other suggestions about what to discuss with him please let me know.

[wittyandwaiting]

It's official....negative beta. About 20 minutes after the call, AF arrived.

I've got one more IUI left, after that my RE won't do any more since it's "not medically responsible". I think I want to skip it and go right to IVF; we will need to need to decide very soon.

I'm having a crappy coping day today. I want bread, wine and flowers.

[wittyandwaiting]

mahler5, I'm sorry about your negative.

I'm sorry, wittyandwaiting. And sorry you are having a crappy coping day. You should have all the bread, wine, and flowers you want! Good luck deciding what to do next.
