Hey,
I lurked on the IF board for a little bit, but this is my 1st post. Just a little history...DH & I were diagnosed with unexplained IF 4 years ago. We did 4 clomid/TI cycles, then 3 clomid/IUI cycles. The 2nd IUI got canceled because I had 7 follies, but DH & I had bd'ed the night before they cancelled and wouldn't you know it, I got a BFP at 7dpo! My 1st beta tested at 2500 and we all freaked (especially my RE), but the number started tanking and eventually they called it a CP. About a year later we started ivf. We did 3 ERs, the last of which produced 56 eggs (you can't make this stuff up)! We froze them all as zygotes to prevent OHSS, & about 28 of them fertilized. All while we did ivf I kept asking my RE if they were concerned about me having low quality eggs, since my cavity was good & they couldn't find anything wrong. Plus, my embryos were never great quality or they would arrest before transfer. Case in point, we thawed 8 zygotes once and only had 1 6 cell on day 3! But my RE said no. Anyway, fast forward to last summer. DH & I moved to another state, leaving 16 frosties with the plan to transfer then whenever we could catch our breath, with the expectation that it would be our LAST ivf cycle ever (our 7th)! We thawed all 16, and had 2 early blasts and 1 morula on day 5, which we transferred. At 8dp5dt, I got a slight 2nd line!!!! Another BFP!! This past Monday, I went for my 1st beta and it was 66. I went back today for repeat and even though I went 5 hours earlier in the day today than I did on Monday, it was only 95. I have to go back on Friday. I don't know how I will manage if this one doesn't make it! I need some encouragement.
