About Me
My History
I decided to try to become a single mother by choice (SMC) at the age of 36 using donor sperm. Nearly 4 years, 8 IUI's, 8 fresh IVFs, 1 frozen IVF (FET) cycle, 1 laparoscopy, 2 HSG's, 1 SHG, 3 RE's, 5 acupuncturists, 4 sperm donors, 1 therapist and 2 whacky new age therapies later with no success to show for it, I stopped treatment. I am heading to acupuncture school as I want to radically change my life. I am also debating the next steps on my quest to become a mother. Will it be adoption, donor embryo, donor eggs or will I stop altogether and live child free?

It IS better than 11, and BetaBase has over 70 in that range.

I am not trying to blow smoke I just want this so much for you.
fuck a duck
calling you now
Well, that's obviously not what we had hoped to hear, but you said the line is getting darker. Hold on to hope, maybe it was just a late implanter... but I'm really sorry it wasn't a stronger number. Big cyber hugs to you.
-Margie
ugh Sarah - but that is a better number than last time and it absolutely could be on its way up! This is different than last time because the tests are getting more positive.
Two more days in the grinder for you...so sorry, but also a little bit hopeful.
Alacrity
Oh Sarah. Well, I hope you are wrong. I can see where you (and I) would have hoped that the first beta number would be higher, but...everything I have heard is that it really isn't the first number, but the rise(or lack there of). So, I guess you wait another few days to tell the tale. I wish you could just say hip hip hurray and call this cycle a success, but I know all to well that it isn't as easy as that. I'll be hoping and praying that the embryo wasn't just good enough to implant, but good enough that you actually get the child of your dreams out of this. It is just so darn hard.
I am sorry that you have to go through all this and I hope for the best for you. kx
I also hope also that this is just a late implantation and that your number is going to go up nicely. Hang in there.
Are you getting a second beta? Don't lose hope until you get that one...
I'm still not giving up all hope yet. I hope the second beta surprises you. Hugs, and virtual vodka sours.
I'm pulling for a miracle for you! ((hugs))
Well, shite.
{{{{Sarah}}}} I know you hoped for a higher BETA, but it is over 10 and that is a hopeful sign! I am hoping that our HCG increasingly rises! I had a friend whose number was lower after 14dpo and now has a little boy! I will continue to say my prayers for you!! Don't give up just yet and stay away from the booze! *hopeful hugs*
Oh Sarah. I'm guessing its another 48h wait? We all know someone who had a beta that low or a little lower and still made a baby out of it, but we know even more who didn't. This totally sucks - we're all thinking of you, and I hope you can get through the next few days ok....
Tricia (and the rest of the FF recyclers) xxxx
Another 48 hours?! Well, shite.
I'm not giving up hope yet.
Oro
Thinking of you.
So sorry you've now 'progressed' into Beta HELL.
I'd rather just get the effing BFN already.
(enter hope)
But it *could* double, and this *could* work.
(damn that hope)
praying and hoping for you that you get a higher BETA and are surprised as fuck!
HOPE AND GOOD THOUGHTS sent your way girl.....
Shit shit SHIT.
:(
Hugs.
I'm still holding tightly onto hope for you, though. I don't care.
I'm sorry to hear that. I too will stubbornly hold out hope.
I really don't know what to say. Sending you hugs.
Oh Sarah..lots of hugs..so wanted this for you xx
I am going to hold out hope for you....
Just wanted to check in and see how you are doing.
