Not feeling positive at all :(

[MzAnxious]

My Beta is 12/28 and I admit I took my first hpt early this morning...NEGATIVE! I no longer have gas, not too much bloating and I feel like AF is coming. The closer I get to Beta date and AF time the sadder I feel. I don't feel anything! And I'm saddened by this. Anyone here who had symptoms then stopped feeling things but still had a BFP? I need some feedback ladies...PLEASE

[Care76]

I had actually started a question about this very same subject last night.....

I unfortunately, am going through this same very thing right now. I just had a good cry with my husband about this and let him know I just don't think it worked. My beta is also 12/28 and I feel like all my symptoms are gone and also took a test this morning that was negative. I keep telling myself that maybe my instincts are wrong but I'm just not feeling anything anymore. All the cramps/ pulling are gone, etc. The only thing that's left is sore bbs. It's nice to know theres somebody out there who understands this. I'm really not feeling AF coming on (I actually was feeling more of that last weekend than now). This is my 2nd cycle and more than likely, my last. Finances just won't permit us to do this again because I have no embies left.

Anyway, keep me posted about what you find out on Monday. Good luck and Merry Christmas. : )

Girls please keep in mind it very well can be positive.  The symptons  you were felling were from the PIO & not the pregnancy systems.  We don't feel anything yet about being pregnant.
I was doing HPT & was coming out negative until day 8 & 9........where are you guys now?

[minu01]

I think its early to do pregnancy test. I was not feeling anything either. Only cramps for five days and then they were gone. So don't be disappointed. and Day 8 & 9 I think is early to detect HCG. Even on day 11th I got very very very faint line so I think keep the faith and wait for your beta. I didn't have any symptoms. I am feeling little diziness today thats it and it started today and today is my 13dp2dET. Have no sore boobs so everyone is different. Just keep Faith. You guys are in my prayers. I went for my beta yesterday and my #s were 57.

[Kricket212]

Congrats to you!!!!  Is this your first Beta? What a Merry Christmas it is.

[minu01]

Yea my first beta... What day are yo on?

[MzAnxious]

Well I had my ET on 12/17 so I'm on day 10 right? Btw took another hpt....Negative. I don't think I am emotionally able to try again for another cycle if I'm not blessed this time. Its so heartbreking for me! I wonder what h@*ll is wrong with me?!

[minu01]

Is your infertility is unexplained? Keep faith dear. I really pray that you get positive is your beta. I think don't take any more HPT and just wait until you beta and keep hope. I think your are on day 9th today and in my opinion day 9 and 10 still very early to do HPT even day 11 is early. You know not everyone is same. Dont get disappointed.

Try to relax! I didn't have ANY symptoms at all and I got my BFP on my third ivf cycle this month. The last two cycles I was symptomatic. The trick is...as Kricket said, it is the meds causing any "symptoms" that we have early on. My RE told me not to test until day 12. That is the earliest he said! Also, it depends on the kind of test you are using. Over the counter home pregnancy tests (like clearblue easy, etc) start detecting hcg at 50. You can purchase test strips online that detect as little as 20! AND they are only about $1.00 a piece, instead of 10.00each. They are great!  www.early-pregnancy-tests.com.  They come very quickly and free shipping.  Anyway, some women that have healthy pregnancies have beta level right around 50 and so it isn't always picked up via hpt. Keep this is mind.
Now, I must admit that I did start testing at day 8 and i saw the faintest line possible. we had to hold it in a certain light to see it=)
My point is, don't trust the hpt, especially if it is store bought...wait until Monday.
I will keep you in my prayers!

[minu01]

Question for all of you. My RE just called and she said that my 2nd beta result is 71 and first one was 57. SO second one didnt went as high as they were thinking. What do you guys think? Did anyone had the same thing. I am having my Beta again on Monday to see whats going on. I am feeling like to cry.

[Care76]

Hi everybody- thanks for the encouragement. I had my ET on 12/12, (11dp2dt)  so I would think that by then it would be showing. I haven't taken another test since then. Hopefully I'm wrong. I am trying to keep my spirits up.

Please keep up posted as to how all of you are doing!

I know how anxious you feeling. This is my first attemt at IVF. I very stupidly had a tubal ligation at the age of 28. Now both my husband and I want a baby sooooo bad. Of course insurance is not covering so we are paying out of pocket. I had my blastocyst transfer on 12/14/09 and was not due to have my bllod test until 12/24/09. 12/20/09 I started spotting and 12/22/09 I got what appears to be a full period. I called to DR's office and was told to go in on that day for lab work and ultrasound. Of course my Dr is on vacation for the holidays and when the ultrasound tech was reading she said it looks like a period to me. Of couse I was hysterical crying and I had to go home and wait for the call. When the nurse called she said that my HCG was 60 and that my progesterone and estrodial levels were low. I needed to go back for more labs on 12/24/09 and ultrasound. I did, however I missed the call from the office. When I called back they were already clsed for the holiday. All that was left on my VM was to come back on Monday the 28th for more lab and ultrasound and to continue my progesterone, she said " i repeat continue the progesterone" I don't know what to think> I'm sooooo scared. I want this so bad. They transfered 2 blastocyst and 2 embryo's. I never had fertility problems in the past. I am going totally crazy> Has anyone else gone through the same thing and gotten positive results? Please cooment

[hangingontohope563]

Good  Luck To us all having Beta's on Monday!!!!!

[nikki327]

I realize I'm joining the conversation late, but I have been feeling the same way.  My beta isn't until 12/30/09. My transfer was 12/18 and I admit I did take two tests now..yesterday and today. Both were negative.  My chest is so sore and I'm still crampy.  After taking these tests, I am so worried that once again it failed!! We have to just stay positive and pray!! I have read so many posts and it seems that every HPT and beta are different! Which for me is really confusing and playing minds games.   I still have hope that this worked and I'll keep you all in my prayers!!! Babydust!!!

[Care76]

Hi to all of you-

This is such a tough situation to be in. I did a 2nd HPT today which was negative again. I just feel like I needed to prepare myself better this time just in case I get a bad phone call from the RE tomorrow. After not getting pregnant the 1st cycle, I know how devistating it is.

I wish everybody the best of luck tomorrow!

[ehope]

I'm new to this site and looking for support. my second beta test is tomorrow and I am so scared. the first one was 440 but I've been having cramping. Don't know what to think.....

[ehope]

O did i mention I had breast tenderness and now it's gone away. is this a bad sign?

again hi to all

[nikki327]

Hello!! Well....from what I've been hearing is that the progestrone will cause cramping and it's suppose to.  I was also told that the breast tenderness is not always an indication of whether or not it has worked?? Personally, I am experiencing both symptoms ( my breasts feel like they are gonna fall off they hurt SO bad) but I have had two negative tests.  I am still only 9 days post ET so I am still gonna hold onto a little hope but be more prepared than last time.  Ladies, I'm a tough cookie, but I can't stand the look on my husband's face when I have to tell him another cycle has failed!! I know you all know what I mean.....I will say a big prayer for all of us tonight!!!

[ehope]

O nikk I understand exactly the feeling your talking about when you have to tell your husband. this is my third IVF cycle(one frozen) so I had to give the news twice and it hurts. Even though we have unexplained pregnancy diagnosis I feel that I am all the blame when it doesn't work. The time when I was pregnant and then miscarried was even worse. he told everyone and i know it was hard on him to hear that i wasn't. this time it was hard not to tell him but i didn't tell him about my first beta I told him that this new doctor makes you wait to her the news on the second beta. I know I lied but I think it would be easier if I could wait to tell him when I really know or closer to the u/s. Everyone am I wrong for not sharing?

[MzAnxious]

Hi...well Beta 1 is 2morrow and I started spotting...I'm scared of the result! Feels like another BFN...soooo sad!

[hangingontohope563]

i am sooo scared about tomorrow too. I'm saying a prayer for all of us. Good luck to everyone!!!!

[Care76]

Make that 3 for me! I am praying that all of us have good results tomorrow.

nikki and ehope- I know what you mean also about our husbands. I told him earlier that I had taken a HPT this morning and it came back negative. The look on his face made me so incredibly sad. I told him that I feel like I'm now failing. Why when the dr. says my uterus looks great, can I not get pregnant?? Oh well. I just have to keep my faith in God that He knows whats best for us.

I've been talking to a friend this evening and told me, even with the negative HPT, don't give up faith. Theres a reason that the RE doesn't want us to take a HPT and want us to come in for a Beta. Lets all try to keep that thought in our minds when we go to bed tonight.

As always, good luck and keep us posted on how tomorrow goes.

[minu01]

So my RE just called and my beta went up from 70 to 72. SO my RE is concerned that it might not going to be healthy pregnancy or no pregnancy. I am going to continue my progesterone. Going for I guess last Beta on Thursday. Thanks everyone for all the support.

[Care76]

Just got back from having my bloodwork done. Now, I get to wait. I told my RE that I had gotten a negative HPT and she said last week, she had someone who had told her the same thing and ended up with a positive Beta. Hope thats the case with me.

minu01- Sorry about your news. I'll be praying.
