Well ladies my beta hasn't moved, it actually went down 1.38 points. So I am going to m/c. I'm fine just going to stop my progesterone and see my dr tomorrow.
Adrianne, I'm so sorry to hear this news. I somehow missed this when I was reading through the new thread posts. I just don't understand how/why this bad stuff happens repeatedly to good people. As if you havne't been through enough already. ((HUGS))
I keep losing this thread, but am glad to have found it again.
Adrianne - I'm so sorry you have to go through this again.
Kathleen - I'm sorry for your loss. I know exactly what you mean about following your old mommies-to-be board. I did that for the longest time and realized that it was not helping me to grieve by keeping track of all the milestones I was missing and was keeping me back from moving on - not that we ever forget our lost little ones, but somewhere we need to find the strength go go on. The grief will come in waves and even now it still randomly hits and I end up in tears. Big hugs.
Nikki - so happy to see your BFP with K!!!
AFM - I'm back on the TTC train. My "wonder drug" femara failed me last month and my little follies shrunk back up. We increased the dose this month and my follie scan on Monday showed two 11s on the right (my BFP maker) and a 13 on the left (the questionable ovary). Have another follie scan tomorrow. Let's hope they're growing!

Niki: I'm so happy for you guys! I read your blog, and everything sounds like it's moving along nicely.
Adrianne: I question all the time, I think it's only human nature. It isn't fair, and it is okay to be upset and angry. I hope and pray that you get everything you want.

kathleen...it takes a long time to see others progress in a pregnancy. I felt the same way especially when had to see my niece-in-laws pg. One was pg when I was and that was hard. It has probably been in the last 6 months that I have been able to really have fun around the little boy born around the time I m/c. It will come in waves, but it does get a little better with time.
Felicia: I go tomorrow for another follie check. As of Tuesday, I was "close, but not there yet" according to the nurse. I'm hoping to trigger tomorrow night.

Samantha - catch that eggie!! Looks like we will be in the 2ww together!
Good follie scan this morning. Lining is 9.4 and I have a 17 on the left (questionable ovary) and a 12 and 19 on the right (my BFP maker). 19 has been my lucky number to start DTD (I don't typically trigger), so DH and I will be making our own fireworks for the 4th. Fingers and toes crossed....

Kathleen - I am so sorry you are hurting so much right now and I wish I could say something that will help. I do think that perhpas you should stay away from your mommies-to-be thread. I know they would understand if you stop checking in with them for awhile. When it was my SIL who was always pregnant after our failed attempts at pregnancy, I did resent her kids some, especially the last one because he was conceived when the 2nd one was only 4 months old and was an uh-oh. She hid it from me for the first 4 months, but I just knew she was pregnant. I guess she was trying to shield me, but the fact that she wasn't honest hurt worse. I finally realized though that my IF was not her fault and I shouldn't have anything but love for my nieces and nephew. You will, in time, be able to feel that way. But right now you are hurting and that is totally your right to feel however you want or need to feel. (((HUGS)))
Adrianne - How are you today?
Nikki - Congrats!!!! I am so happy for you and I will have to catch up on all the details on your blog. I will keep you in my nightly prayers that all continues to go well for the baby(ies). With a beta like that, I'm thinking you're gonna be a twin momma for sure!
Sassy and Samantha - Good luck to you both with your follies and trigger/BDing. You'll definitely be making your own fireworks on the 4th!!
Felicia - Thanks for the encouragement with the job. The bad thing is I can't teach at all and they said I have to resign. I can reapply, but I lose my tenure until the principal who hires me next decides to reinstate it. I don't lose my retirement or my pay level, but it is scary to think I could be laid off at any point without having my professional contract status. But, it may just be that one more year away from teaching is what is needed at the moment, so I am taking it as it comes.
Lisch - KUP...we are anxiously awaiting news!
AFM - My betas were both good on 7/1 (538) and 7/3 (1142). My first u/s is scheduled for 7/21. I continue to be cautiously optomistic until then because I know we could still have bad news then like last time. The thing that comforts me right now is that I am feeling symptoms (tired and strong sense of smell) and as long as that continues, it will be reassuring.
Hope everyone has a great 4th of July!

missy...it sounds like you are right on schedule! I am sorry to hear about the teaching situation. Can the principal "make it happen" for you? I only ask because that happened to a principal I knew and my friend's job. A teacher wanted to recind (sp?) her retirement but the other person had already been offered the job. The principal fought to get who she wanted and had the other person placed somewhere else. But, as you said, this might be a break that is needed : )
Kathleen: I just want to say ditto to what everyone else is saying. I'm very sorry you're hurting so badly.
Missy: I will be cautiously optimistic with you.
Melissa: We are definitely 2ww buddies!
AFM: Okay, this is what I posted on the follistim board:
"I triggered tonight. I am getting a little frustrated with the RE's office, because one nurse tells me "intercourse for three days following trigger" and the other "the night of trigger and 36 hours later". DH and I have been following the three day rule, but this time we're going with the tonight and 36 hours later, if for no reason than that three days in a row hasn't worked for us so far. Anyway, I had a 17 on the right, a 14 on the left, an E2 of 511, and lining at 13, so I'm right on track."

Samantha - The only advice I have for you is just BD as much as possible beginning about 30 hours after the trigger. The only (of 10) IUI that worked for us was the one that we considered to be "late." We really don't think the IUI is what worked, but our own BDing like crazy that whole weekend prior. We didn't trigger, but I had gotten a + OPT on Friday at noon, but my RE's office told me to come in on Monday morning for the IUI. I felt for sure that we would be missing the window of opportunity, so DH and I BDed as much as possible over that weekend. We still had the IUI on the Monday, but when I had my first u/s, the doc said I was measuring 2 days ahead of the IUI date. I really do think we did that one on our own. Also, sounds silly, but DH held my legs up in the air afterward for as long as I could stand it and then I put a pillow under me to tilt my pelvis back and stayed like that for at least an hour. Now, we didn't have a child to worry about at the time, so that was easy to do. I wish you luck!

Samantha -we Bd'd the night of the trigger. I had tons of EWCM and it just seemed right. We still BD'd every night after for 3 nights as well. My RE said as long as the DH doesn't have sperm issues every might was fine.
