Oneandonlyme -- I am so glad about your numbers. There is alot of literature about not focusing on the amt of hcg but the doubling. I hope your baby continues to grow and grow. My prayers are with you. My us is next wednesday and I am getting goofy about it.

One and Only, I am happy for you that things look good. Try to just take care of yourself and not be negative. I know it must be so very difficult. I can't even imagine how difficult it is for you. We are all rooting for you and you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Keep telling that little one to hold on tight! Take care.

I'm happy your numbers are growing, that gives much hope. Wishing you a pleasant and sticky BFP and try not to stress about the pregnancy (I know it's eaier said than done). All the best Girl.
Thanks everyone!!!!I know it isn't good to be stressed. I am so trying to be postive, I guess I am always on the guard to be prepared to hear bad news! I feel if I get all excited then I will be even more hurt if something goes wrong!! I go today to see how if my levels are still doubling!!

I responded to you in another post but I didn't realize this was the hpt that was negative only. I think it's wise to wait for the beta to be sure, like you said. Not to give you false hope but I have read lots of stories of the hpt being negative and the beta positive. Good luck to you...I will pray hard.

Again, I am so sorry Trish. That really stinks. I was so rooting for a positive. I was so mad when I got home from work yesterday and saw that the site went down again and I couldn't see how you were doing!

girls.... thanks so much for all your support.... i am so sad, frustrated, devastated, angry..... how can our hearts take this? i just feel like it is in a million pieces and when i see the disappointment on DH's face (which he tries to hide), i feel like such a failure. why is the emphasis always on the eggs as the reason for failure as opposed to the sperm? when people learn that it didn't work, they seem to assume that it is the eggs that were at fault. that just makes me feel worse. DH got a defect. sorry for the negativity.... i just don't understand why this happens? i had the perfect uterus, i had super quality eggs and lots of them... why do people get babies who don't want them? i am thinking that god really hates me. i've lost all my babies and my hope for babies and i don't even have my mom's shoulder to cry on. i've survived rape, miscarriages, infertility, and losing my mother.... what else does he want from me? thanks for letting me vent..... good luck to you all.... trish

Oh Trish - I wish I could do or say the magic word and unbreak your heart. I really dont think God hates you and he is not punishing you (even if it feels that way). Pregnancy is such a miracle and no one knows why it works when there seems to be so little hope and not work when things look great.
I think the egg thing comes from the always present mother-guilt. Its our fault for everything you know.

Trish I am so very sorry you are feeling so frustrated. I can't put to words how I feel about this whole situation, but I'd like you to know that I too care a lot and am thinking and praying for you.
well on Wednesday my levels went from 71 to 193.6 which she said everything looks good. now I have to wait for my ultrasound on Aug 16th. I know the numbers are good, but I still don't feel at ease yet! I don't want miscarriage number 4!!!!
Trish, I am so sorry for your saddness and I know no matter what anyone one says it doesnt' take the pain away. I know how it feels to think life just isn't fair and why me! I also have learned things do work out in the end we just don't see it till it passes and we look back! I have also learned God doesnt' control what happens, but he's there to help us through it! My thoughts are with you and I wish that your heart will mend from all this!

Since the miscarriage, I have been doing what the doctor told me to do, take the summer off and go on vacation. Well it's been non-stop with vacations. This weekend it's staying at the cottage with some of my girlfriends and next week we are going to Wisconsin. Then I start back at the doctors Sept 14th.
To be honest with you, I'm not that excited as I was the last time with IVF. I feel that there might be more disappointment with the 2nd IVF or any upcoming treatments. I need to get out of this rut!!! Maybe I will feel different once it gets closer.....
