Shan, thanks :) I actually called my OBGYN's office and told them what I wanted and they had the paperwork sent off to the lab closest to me. They are so good at working with me. I've used them for 17 years! Now I can't wait to see what my numbers are Friday so I have something to compare these to!

@Jackie - I am so so sorry, friend. Ugh. I have been through the disappointment of HCG draws and it is so awful. Hugs and prayers to you from me today.

Baby: So happy for you!

Basia: That article did help... as much as it could.

Thank you all for your kind words. I appreciate your love and support. Stopping all meds, period should be here in a few days then blood work next Wednesday to make sure numbers go back to 0. I'm going to be taking a few days away to process everything and figure out where to go from here. I will be thinking of you all.

Jackie, I'm sorry! I should have been more respectful and thoughtful when making my post. I appreciate your kind words and I understand taking some time away. I am thinking of you and pray you find peace somehow soon. It's so hard to understand why these things happen when they happen to you. HUGS

jackie, I so sorrry dear! I hope you find the way to feel better and move on. Hugs dear, I have no words to make you feel better.

Good morning ladies,

Thank you for the sympathy. I'm doing alright with this cycle starting. I'm hoping that it will lead to my BFP since we're changing up the procedure.

Babypath - Those are great numbers. FX you have a nice sticky bean in there and your numbers will be amazing tomorrow.

AFM - So I called the clinic to book my U?S appointment on CD 12 and the receptionist says I'm not in their system at all. All of my tests and all of my IUIs aren't showing up. She told me I might have to go get another referral from my regular doctor. I'm so frustrated. I was in there two weeks ago for an IUI and they had no trouble finding me at that point. What the heck changed? She said she'd call their referral department and see if she could do anything for me. So now I'm waiting and hoping I can actually start my next cycle. I will call them back later today if they haven't gotten back to me by then. I'm going to be very upset if this cycle is cancelled because someone deleted my medical file.

Margie, that's a load of crap on their part! Is the clinic close enough to go in and personally demand answers? Is there another clinic maybe to visit? Keep us posted on the outcome! Where do you live? I'm not opposed to coming to help hehehe ;)

Margie - sorry that your clinic is doing those dumb things and that AF showed up.

Baby - There's another clinic but my insurance only covers treatment at the clinic I'm going to. Even going for a consultation at the other place would be an investment for us, let alone the treatment options. I'm down in the D.C. area. Where are you from?

Very sad to see some bad news on this board. I can't imagine what you ladies are going through, I tried to tell myself if this pregnancy didn't work out that it was what was best for the baby and it wouldn't have had the strength to survive. I still know that I will be devastated if something happens and it's hard not to be mad and blame our lady parts for being assholes.

I'll be thinking and praying for each of you. Please don't give up, people who really want to be parents are the parents we need in the world. I have my second ultrasound tomorrow and I hope we get a solid heart beat. My mom is coming in (she lives a few hours away) to go with me.

Try to stay positive and think about all the blessings we do have, I know it's hard but it helps to know that sometimes things have a reason for happening.
