I'm late to checkin.... Been trying to keep busy with non IF related things as I've been in the slump of beta he!!. 2nd beta was just drawn this morning, should get number this afternoon. Praying for a ginormous increase! But, being realistic that this is not my cycle. Ugh.
Sorry Brewers for the BFN, so unfair and heartbreaking!
QOTD: I say Oh Bumpers!
Thanks sweetie!! So sorry you are going thru beta he!!.... that was me first IVF. Keep us updated. Praying for you!!!

I am waaayyy late for my check-in but I am up with my parents as my Dad just had back surgery. He is recovering and slowly getting back to himself. We transferred 1 4AB blastocyst on Monday and have 4 frozen now. I am now "patiently" waiting until next Wednesday for my first beta!!!
I am so sorry to hear that some of you ended up with BFNs. Big hugs and try to keep your heads up!!!
I am on CD6 of IVF #2. We're on the Follistim/Menopur regimen. I was supposed to retrieve/transfer in August....however...it appears that I am a fantastic responder and we will actually retrieve this weekend for possible transfer July 30 or Aug 1....
On my day 4 US I was already showing 4 measurable follies at 17-19mm and they started my Ganirellix. My E2 was at 496. Today is day CD6 and have 8 follies - 4 in the 10-14 range and 4 at 17+...Doc said we will most likely trigger tonight or tomorrow pending today's E2 count...
