Dana ~ did your Dr.'s office do a Beta or did you just do a HPT? Remember that a Beta can detect the smallest amount of the hormone.

If they did all I can say is I am so sorry. I can't even imagine how you must feel. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks bhk.

If I use DE, it will be like a full adoption, as I was already using DS. Need to back away and process this.

Hi there,
Danasingle- so sorry to hear about the results...my heart goes out to you. I have faith we'll all get through this and welcome our babies into the world...gotta have faith...but hard sometimes.

I'm 7DPIUI now, used DS. Did the 'mayo protocol' this time, clomid plus shots of FSH plus timed IUI using ultrasound and a hcg shot. Third time using clomid, second time using clomid and hcg, but first time with this whole process. Lots of money, lots of stress, and how I hated giving myself a shot in the stomach...but I did it. I told my DP that I wasn't going to do it, but once it got started, and it hurt, it was easier for me to do it so I could pace it.
Anyhow, I can't believe I have to wait another 7 days before I even have a chance of finding out if I'm pregnant.
All feels normal, other than tiredness (which could be from my progesterone supplement) and some dizziness (which could be just because I've had a stressful week and not sleeping well).
To add to it all, work has been really stressful and trying to "not be stressed and relax" becomes frickin hard at that point. Just like it's completely impossible to "not think about it."

Anyhow- sitting here in my pjs, trying to focus on having a relaxing day, which if you're -trying- to do, somehow doesn't happen. Sigh. One would think with all of this technology and research they'd have found a way to detect pregnancy or lack thereof SOONER.

Good luck to all who are going through this-
Miri
