@mtpbadger- keep us posted on Friday's BETA. I was actually supposed to go to MN this weekend as well! My DH is still going, but tickets were outrageous compared to what we normally pay. So only DH is going. I kind wish I was, now. Hang in there!!!!
@jsmorrissey, that's crazy! Tickets are expensive because of the Ryder Cup (HUGE golf tournament). My DH is going to it so I'm just tagging along to see family since my parents live about 20 minutes away from where it's happening. I had a delta companion ticket so thankfully we basically only had to pay for one ticket.
@mtpbadger - I looked into tickets again yesterday and it's just crazy. It's my brother in law's 40th b-day party, so I told DH, he had to go! I may check our mileage card, so we'll see. It kind of depends on what the doc says today.
I am losing my mind a little, but just trying to keep busy at work and trying to tell myself that it isn't bad news (by them waiting so long).
@Jsmorrissey I'm on pins and needles over here! I keep checking back for good news from you! You must be going crazy waiting for that call!!! Hang in there, I'm sure it's good news!
***BFP & Child Warning***
Me: 34, DH: 38 ~ TTC since 2014 IUI #1-3 (Nov 2015, Feb 2016, May 2016) = BFNs IVF ER (July 2016) = 7 PGS normal embryos FET #1 (Sept 2016) = BFP! DD born 5/30/17 FET #2 (April 2019) = BFN FET #3 (July 2019) = BFP! DS born 3/27/20
I did. they still don't have them! Seems so ridiculous to make ladies going through IVF and wait ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL day for their results. But apparently, my RE is the only one. No one else on this board seems to have to wait more than a couple hours. WHy would you want someone to experience SO.MUCH.STRESS???????????????????
@Jsmorrissey I am so terribly sorry to read that it is negative. Take care of yourself, and continue to be the brave, amazing lady that you are. Sending you virtual hugs!!

Aw @jsmorrissey I'm so sorry that it's negative. That's just cruel they made you wait that long for bad news. Take care of yourself these next few days!
@mtpbadger I'm so sorry you're in limbo...I'm hoping that you'll get a great surprise Friday and that this was just a fluke. @Jsmorrissey I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself. IF sucks. @wifeinraleigh28 CONGRATS!! Sounds like a great second beta!!
TTC since August 2014
Me: 41, Him: 43
DX: Unexplained secondary infertility
History: Multiple months of Clomid/Femara End of March 2015: BFP with Femara! Saw heartbeat at 5.5 weeks. M/C at 11 weeks Multiple more months of Femara IUI #1 with Femara and Follistem 75 units: BFN IUI #2 with Follistem 150 units: BFN Dec 2015: 1st IVF. 10 eggs retrieved with 8 eggs fertilized. 5 day transfer of two embryos with 2 frozen embies. BFN January 2016: FET #1 2 embryos: BFN March 2016: 2nd IVF cycle. 4 eggs retrieved with 2 fertilized. Quick two day transfer of both embryos: BFN April/May 2016 IVF #3. 11 eggs retrieved. 10 mature. 7 fertilized. 2 5AA blasts transferred 5/11/2016 BFN September 2016 IVF #4: 17 follicles growing, premature ovulation through Cetrotide. Retrieval cancelled. April 2017 IVF #5: 9 follicles growing, 6 eggs retrieved with 5 fertilized. Transfer of three blasts. BFN June 2017: IVF #6: 2 follicles growing, 5 eggs retrieved with 5 fertilized. Transfer of 5 3-day embryos. Chemical pregnancy. BFN Nov/Dec 2017: Donor egg cycle. 33 eggs retrieved, 26 mature. 26 fertilized.
Now that all of the results are in for our little group of September testers I thought I would share our tracker one final time. I sure hope that all these BFNs turn into BFPs in upcoming cycles! I've noticed that some of you are already participating in the October TWW thread which is fantastic. FX for you all!!
@Jsmorrissey I am sorry for the negative. I hope you can indulge in something bad for you this weekend. It's hard every single time.
@mtpbadger I am sorry for the uncertainty you must be feeling. I am hopeful that those numbers catch up and this was but a blip.
@wifeinraleigh28 Thank you for the chart and all the support to this group over the month! It's definitely a sad little chart, but I will continue to have hope for myself and others in the next cycle!
Me: 40, DH: 35 / Married: 2009; TTC #1: 2013

2016: 3 medicated TI cycles —> 3 medicated IUI cycles: All BFN
@fivetimesnoluck thank you. I'm hoping so too but the spotting has gotten a little heavier so I have to be realistic. In talking with my nurse, she still says it can go either way - spotting can be common in early pregnancy or it can be my body doing what it's supposed to (although it has NEVER done what it's supposed to before, why now?!)
I just hope, regardless of the results tomorrow, that I'm not stuck in limbo. It either needs to go up appropriately or start going down so I can start to move on. For me, being in limbo is the worst.
Blood has been taken, let the waiting begin! I have a play date with my niece and nephew later today so that will be a good distraction. While I know anything is possible, my hopes aren't too high and I'm prepared for bad news.
I think you said you are in MN today - welcome to my state

Slightly freaking out as my nurse just left a voicemail saying they haven't received the results yet! Since my clinic is an hr ahead of where I am right now, I'm hoping everything gets resolved before they close for the day!
Forgot to update here.....numbers are already going down so this wasn't the cycle. I'll get bloodwork done Monday morning to make sure it keeps going down and will follow up with my doctor next week to see if she has any ideas as to why it didn't work and next steps.
Going to indulge in some adult beverages this weekend!
Thanks @fivetimesnoluck and @jsmorrissey. Being with family helped - you can't stay too sad when you have some little munchkins climbing all over you and giggling uncontrollably. I also told my mom what was going on. She knows about our struggles but I hadn't told her we did another transfer so that helped too.
Re: September TWW/Beta Testers!
@wifeinraleigh28 YAY. great news!!!
