  I am sorry for your loss and wish you the best of luck for your IVF in the future, but we are still trying here and cannot give you any success stories.
  Please read the sticky that says "Read This Before Posting Here" before posting again and please post an intro.  We like to know who we are talking to! 
  And any Dr that told me "At least you can get pregnant" would be a Dr that I would no longer be seeing.

  I'm so sorry for your loss. I went through IVF in 2002 and understand how crushing it can be to have a cycle not end in a pregnancy.
  
  

  Your question about successful IVF cycles after a loss is a tough one on this board. While we do have some active members who are trying for a second using IVF (those trying for a sibling are the only people on our board who would have a "success" story) that population becomes vary narrow when you had in the after an IVF CP cycle. If you ask this on PAL (parenting after a loss) or PgAL you will have better luck with finding someone. Off of the top of my head, the only grad I can think of who had IVF CPs and went on to a successful outcome is @carseat - I know she had a mix of fresh and frozen cycles so her experience may not match yours.
  
  As far as what your doctor said, I understand why some people would find that comment disconcerting.  I've had a doctor say that to me after my second loss. I was not offended for the simple fact that I had been under an IF diagnosis and told I could never get pregnant on my own. The fact of pregnancy occurring says something.  I don't know your history but I can understand why the RE (even though the comment can be insensitive) would look at any pregnancy as a sign of something positive - and add it to all of the other information they have about you in order to decide what to do differently next time.
  
  You said you had two good embabies out of that cycle. Did you have a lot of mature follies? Who many eggs fertilized and out of those how many made it to day 3 or day 5 before arresting? What was the grade of your two that were implanted? This is all information that might help the other IVF ladies on this board answer questions. Is your doctor planning on changing your treatment plan to try to improve response?
  
  One other thing to consider, and maybe this is your doctor's protocol already, but if you do another cycle and have more than one embryo that is implanted, will your doctor let you do an additional beta after the one that shows a drop in HCG and continue on progesterone until those results come back? Lots of REs don't but early betas, especially with multiples embabies, can be wonky.
  

  
  

  Finally, some ladies have encouraged you to do a proper intro. You can just edit this post to put more information about yourself (it helps us get to know you). We have quite a few members who are going through IVF so I think you will find people who can relate to what you are going through and that you can offer support to also.
