Hi Daniella -

It is nice to have someone else that is going through the same thing as I am - also we have the same beta date so good luck to you!!! Lets stay intouch with everything.

Thanks Meg

Hello,

I just stumbled upon this site & was happy to learn of this great forum connecting women going through similar challenges....I am on my 15th day since my transfer and am going back for a second blood test tomorrow. I had my blood drawn yesterday & my doctor told me that my results were low never explaining what I was low on(?) and that the embryo implanted itself but was going the other way....I found this to be an unusual choice of words and even more so now that I had the chance to read several of the forum emails. I'm hoping for the best after tomorrow's blood test but feel a bit indifferent since I'm not experiencing symptoms other women have described (pain, cramps, breast sensitivity...).

Fingers are crossed. thank you for listening... ;)

Hi Monica -

Did your doc give you an HCG level?

Monica - I will be praying that all goes well. Did your doctor say anything else to you?

No, she didn't give me the HCG level which now it seems strange to me....I will make sure I have more questions & get answers from her tomorrow.

I hope all goes well for you, keep us posted! Ask your doc what your first level was when she calls with your second. I wonder how she can tell off of one level.

I'll be thinking about you!

Hi Michelle,

The news was bad....my level dropped, it didn't double so my doc told me to stop taking my meds :( It is now my 2nd IVF atttempt & I'm contemplating on switching doctors.

I'm disappointed today that's for sure but not giving up :)

Chat soon!

Monica - I am sorry to hear that your level dropped. I have a few questions if that is okay. What was your original level? How many tests have you had? Did you have a 3 or 5 day transfer? What level dropped? Give us the information on this IVF attempt.

Monica;

I am so sorry about your results.... How many did they transfer? Where do you live?

Maybe someone on the forum lives near you and would have a Dr. recommendation.

My husband and I had to switch Dr.'s, it was not easy but I am glad we did.

Hang in there.... It will happen for you!

Thanks Michelle,

I live in San Diego. 2 embryos were transferred since I have a bicornuate uterus, they don't want to run the chance of multiples...it would be risky for me since I have one side of the uterus that is larger than the other.

My hubby was quiet today, haven't really discussed what our next step will be....will keep you posted :)
