IVF #3

Well, we went in for our consult after our failed IVF#2 and were told that if my HCG was 0 that we could start stims that night to get in this month.  Otherwise, we'd have to wait until February due to some changes taking place at the hospital Dec/Jan.  Obviously we jumped right in with both feet, but now I'm starting to 2nd guess myself.  We did have a miscarriage after IVF#2, but it was very early and the only reason we know is because of the blood tests that are done so early with IVF. 

I need some major baby dust and positive vibes.  I'm really worried to being going through this for the 3rd time and so soon after the failed 2nd attempt.  I hope that my DR. wouldn't allow me to do this if it wasn't safe or not capable of being successful.  Should I be concerned or just be excited that we were given this opportunity to move on so quickly to the next round and hope for the best?

With IVF#2 I was really positive the whole time!  Now that we're starting IVF#3 I'm being very cautious and skeptical, but I want to feel positive and excited!!  It's so hard to go through this with an open mind and be hopeful each time!

Any advice out there?

IVF#1-Lupron, Follistim, Menopur.  ER on 08/07 and ET on 08/10 with 2 Grade A embies.  BFN.

I know there are alot of people that doIVF right after the last on.   That being said i think it is way hard on your body.  All those hormone and ups and downs does a number on you.   With the holidays approaching too that is a stressful time too.   I personally really liked the time between... it gave me a chance to grieve that the IVF did not work and get my head in the right place to start again and be postive and ready for the shots and side effects.   It is alot for you and your DH to go through.     Expcially a misscarriage.   I know you are excited...and anxious but you may want that breather for you and your hubby.    Enjoy yourself through the holidays and get back on the wagon in Jan/Feb.   Totally up to you but it is alot to go through.... and you deserve to have the best chance possible and that might mean waiting for you body to heal a bit emotionally and physically.

My story: Trying for 4 years, One miscarraige, clomid 4 months, 2 IUI BFN , one IVF that was cancelled last minute switched to IUI right before Retirval date BFN, IVF#2 was BFN    (Endometrious, poor eggs and decent sperm)

We have actually already started the stims, so now I just need to figure out a way to feel positive here.  I'm being very skeptical this time around and I don't like that feeling.  Last time, I was energetic and really hopeful.  I really believe that positive vibes play a role in how this works out and I'm so worried that my skepticism is going to make this end badly...again.

IVF#1-Lupron, Follistim, Menopur.  ER on 08/07 and ET on 08/10 with 2 Grade A embies.  BFN.

IVF#2-Lupron, Follisitim, Menopur.  ER on 10/08 and ET on 10/11 with 2 Grade B embies.  10/23 Beta:7, 10/26 Beta:13, 10/28 Beta:14.  Waiting for more info but most likely going to miscarry.
