I'm very sorry. Having been there 3 times over, the reason you thought it was going to work was simple....HOPE. The Doctors have it, so they offer this intervention. You and your husband have it, as you were advocates for your future family and went forward to accept this intervention. All of us here know exactly how you are feeling today. Be kind to yourself and remember that you and your husband ARE a family as you are today, this day. You are working on expanding your family and have every reason to hope.
I hope AF arrives soon so you can move forward. Hang in there and know that your feelings are completely normal.

3 morula stage embryos transferred on 9/25/13.....Beta #1 on 10/4/13/ = 7.5 Beta #2 on 10/6/13 = negative
IVF#2 - Lupron plan (set to begin on 10/28/13) (Planning on thawing and fertilizing our 6 eggs with ICSI as well as all of the mature eggs they retrieve with this fresh cycle.)

I'm so sorry. I know for me the cycles where you first try something new and it doesn't work are the most difficult because they renew your hope. It's okay to be sad!
