@FunkyKey thank you so much for your kind words, you have no idea what they mean to me today. I'm glad to know that in spite of my poor attitude at times through this trial, I've been able to encourage a few along this journey. Hearing that pushes me to remain optimistic and hopeful in God's good timing.
Me 34 DH 36 Married since July 2010 MFI (High DNA Fragmentation) & Mild endometriosis
TTC #1 since June 2015 Aug 2016 - May 2017 6 IUI's with letrozole - BFN April 2017 - laparoscopy to remove mild endo June 2017 - Mini IVF letrozole 12.5mg, Gonal-F 75IU - Cancelled early ovulation, no eggs retrieved. Aug/Sept 2017 - Mini IVF letrozole 12.5mg, Gonal-F 75IU, cetrotide - 13 eggs retrieved, 11 mature 5 eggs ICSI'd 6 eggs frozen - 1 day 5 blast transfered, 2 expanded blast frozen - BFP! May 2018 - Baby girl born - Our Joy
TTC #2 since July 2019 July 2019 - FET - BFN Jan 2020 - FET - canceled due to family health issues Mar 2020 - FET - low beta - chemical pregnancy July 2020 - ICSI'd remaining 6 eggs - 3 fertilized - 2 survived to early blast stage, transfered both - Chemical Pregnancy
So I had my first beta today (first round of IVF after 4 IUIs), and the nurse called to say my hcg is 15. I am 12dp a 5dt. She didn't sound optimistic. She said it could be that the embryo began implanting and stopped, or that it implanted late. Either way, I have to go back on Friday for another test. Anyone ever heard of anyone having such a low hcg and still having it work out? Really bummed...but trying to stay positive.
CP #1- due April 2017 lost 5.5 weeks cp #2- due May 2017 lost at 4.5 weeks iUI #1- BFN IUI #2-BFN IVF#1- transfer 2- BFP! Due October 2017 c/p#3 lost at 3.5 weeks
@ReesaAnne16 so sorry about The BFN, I feel you. That was me last month with our 2nd IUI, it was really tough and I lost a lot of my positivity. Hang in there it does (slowly) get better.
AFM ~6DPO. Since we are just waiting for the IVF consult I put myself on "no pressure mode". No OPKs, no diligient BD in FW. It's been nice. I did have crazy O pain and gobs of CM about 6 days ago, so I figure that was O. I'm not so patiently waiting for the RE visit which just happens to be the day after AF should arrive, so if next week could get here already I would like that. Haha. Really want to get started on the IVF train.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a bit but a starting to go a little crazy in the 2ww. Currently 8dp5dt and beta is scheduled for 12/13. We have been trying for almost 2 years and this was our first round of Ivf after getting a MFI diagnosis earlier this year, followed by varicocele repair. I am resisting a hpt but it's getting hard!!
Fingers crossed for everyone!
TTC since: 1/2015 11/16: IVF #1. BFN 2/23/17: FET with a BFP on 3/8/17. EDD: 11/11/17 with a baby GIRL!
@hibiscus118 I know, the 2ww is terrible! My beta was on Wed, and I was positive but my hcg was really low, so I go back tomorrow. I think we are in a similar situation (same regarding my husband). Hang in there and try to relax! I'll be hoping the best for you!
@hibiscus118 I'm right there with you! I have my beta on the 12th and am trying so hard not to symptom spot. I am debating on taking an HPT this weekend.
TTC #1 since Aug 2015 (unexplained infertility) 10/16-12/16 -3 IUI, all BFN 2/17 IVF #1 froze 5 five day blasts 5/17 FET#1 BFN 6/17 FET #2 BFP EDD 2/27/18
Just an update... my second beta dropped to 6. I don't even fully understand what it all means, except that it didn't take. We have two frozen embryos, so I guess we'll take some time to decide on our next step.
Wishing all the best for the rest of you who are still waiting, fingers crossed.

January 2011: started IUI process, ovaries never properly responded to medications, 6 failed attempts, never actually completed an IUI. Took 2012-2014 off due to depression and frustration (side note: did complete grad school to become a nurse practitioner- great distraction). 2015: started seeing RE again, went through tons of testing and HSG, left tube now blocked, only option is IVF. September 2015: Started first official IVF cycle, cancelled in October due to large cyst on left ovary. October 2015: started on birth control for 2 months.
