and its still freakin 640!! I'm so mad right now I just wanna cry. I'm so confused. I guess this isn't AF this is me miscarrying?? I have to wait a week for another draw but if my number isn't zero soon there is no way we'll be able to start our IVF cycle next month.
The Dr. said I can make an appointment with her and we can talk about what my options and next steps will be but that she would also completely understand if DH and I wanna take a break. Part of me thinks we need a break but what exaclty does that mean? Even if we don't try another IVF cycle right away we will be trying on our own so the stress will still be there. I told her I would talk to my husband tonight and set something up with her for next week.
If you were in my position what would you do? Part of me wants to give my body and my mind a rest and a break from all of this and the other part of me wants to try IVF again as soon as physically possible.

((((hugs)))) It does sounds perhaps like you are miscarrying - it wouldn't be AF with a HCG that high. Honestly, I would maybe sit out a couple of months after all you've been through. I also thought that with the shots you had to wait for 3 months with each one before you could TTC (so 2 shots = 6 months), but that was just what a friend told me once - your RE obviously knows best.
I just don't think you should push yourself and get all stressed. Sadly, there is nothing you can do to rush things. Your body will only do what it does. I just hate to see you get all stressed out about what your body is and is not doing. I think you just have to let things get back to normal again and then move forward.
I'm sorry hun, just so sorry that you have to go through all of this. ((((hugs))))

That just plain sucks. (((hugs))) I am so sorry. I really don't know exatly what I would do. Part of me thinks I would wait. No charting... just having sex when I want to, not going by ovulation signs or anything. Put the fun back in it. For us it has become more of a job lately & that is just sad.

I'm so sorry! I would wait and see how long it takes to get your hcg back down to zero-if it happens quickly, I might take a month off, to give my body a break. If it takes awhile I would probably be antsy by then and want to move straight back in.
Ultimately I would ask my RE for their recommendation and base my decision on that.

Thanks love. I've talked to the Dr. a few times about getting the tube removed and she keeps telling me that she doesn't see a reason to take it out because there is no fluid build around it etc. and that they don't usually remove it unless they have to. Idk what to do. My biggest struggle right now is whether or not I think I'm physically and emotionally ready to move forward with another IVF once I get my 2nd AF which should hopefully be mid November!

Wow, that seems kind of sketchy to me, b/c obviously it caused a problem with this round of IVF. Can you see a new Doc about it? Or continue to insist that it comes out?
It's okay to take personal time after cycles. I know we did. We took a few months break in between IVF and IUI and it really helped me. Some times your just need to quit the TTC world for a bit so you can move on to the next step. But no matter what you decide, we will always be here for you. Know that.
