Results

As suspected, the Beta came back negative.

Waiting for official call from RE to determine "what's next."

Sigh.

{Edited}
RE called with sympathy, but no explanation, especially with being able to get two of the remaining embryos far enough along to freeze. Said
that he's seen a number of women who have a successful frozen cycle after a fresh cycle - with the anesthesia/surgery for the retrieval and all the other drugs the body is not necessarily in the best condition. A frozen cycle is apparently easier prep - (estrogen) pills only. While that's all good to know I'm not going to count on success again.



On a lighter note when I told him we were leaving for vacation this weekend (attn. potential robbers: we will leave vicious attack cats at the house. You don't want to incur their wrath.) he told me to drink heavily over vacation. I just may have to follow Doctors' Orders on that.

    I am so sad to hear this news - was really hoping that beta was going to come back good. Frustrating, frustrating, frustrating. Any chance you can find a way to treat yourself to something good today - a decadent dessert or a pedicure? You deserve it. Take care of yourself!

  5. That just sucks. I had the exact same result in March and my RE was shaking his head that I had a frozen blast out of it, but nothing fresh stuck. That didn't make me feel better.

    I like your RE's approach however. The doctor has prescribed drink and you had best follow doctor's orders!!

    Lots of love heading your way.

    (ps - I did a frozen cycle last year, and there was much less drama from a medication standpoint. Bonus - the estrogen made me lose weight. Can't guarantee that for you, or if you want it, but it was an unexpected surprise).

  7. You left a nice post on my blog, so I was returning here to comment back to you only to hear your disappointing news. I'm sorry to hear about your BFN and only hope that you have a restorative vacation coming up and that you follow doctors orders.
