Did I mention that I work in a medical laboratory? You know, where we run lab tests? Like … oh, just off the top of my head … pregnancy tests?
Of course, I drew blood and tested myself.
It’s negative.
TTC, mommy, wife, daughter, couponer, a little OCD and all the other parts that make up me.
August 2011 Started IVF #2 (trying for Baby #2)
3 weeks of birth control pills, followed by Lupron, followed by Gonal F. Perfect textbook, slow, steady growth cycle.
September 2011 16 eggs retrieved; 15 mature - all fertilized by ICSI; three transferred on 9/19/11; two frozen the next day. 9/28/11: BFN.
--------
Oct. 2011 FET #1 Two frozen embryos transferred. BFN.
---------
April 2012 IVF #3 18 eggs, ICSI, 3-day-transfer of 4 8-cell, grade 2 embryos. 1 embryo frozen. BFP but HCG too low to support pregnancy. Miscarriage.

Thanks so much again for the info you sent my way. It really put my heart at rest about staying with Dr. Silverberg. Goin’ out of town would’ve really taxed us financially.

I knew whatcha meant! 🙂 I’m hangin’ on to the faint hope that I’m just trying to test too soon…

Damn. But is it too early still? How many days post transfer has it been? This is why they don’t test you too early – you can get a false negative. Hang in there!
iamstacey
Mar 15, 2010 @ 23:16:09
Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping!
