Negative

I heard from my nurse.  My beta was negative.  She said that my RE and the embryologist are going to go over all the information on us and she'll give me a call later in the week to schedule an appointment to meet with the RE and go over things.  I guess I am really not shocked by this given the state of our embryos and the fact that they were willing to put back 3.  The plan we bought was for 2 cycles, but I am not starting another cycle until I have more testing done.  The RE told me before this cycle that he didn't think that immune testing and such told them a lot and even when it did rarely was there anything they could do or did it change their protocol.  I trust my doctor, but I don't think that was a good answer.  I have been reading a lot of blogs since then and I know of at least 2 bloggers who have had immune testing done, made medicine/lifestyle changes because of it, and gotten pregnant.  So, don't tell me it doesn't make a difference.  I am glad that I took today off.

  9. I am so sorry to read your recent news. i echo the others in saying trust your gut and do whatever testing you feel is necessary. I had 2 miscarriages and 1 BFN (all IVF cycles) and my RE insisted there was nothing abormal. We did autoimmune testing, kayotyping, etc. and found my husband had a chromosome issue. I really do believe in trusting your gut feel for things. Good luck! Hang in there!
