On July 21st, 2014 we transfered two Grade 2 expanded blastocysts, one was already beginning to hatch. I did acupuncture before the transfer, we grabbed some lunch and then headed to the fertility clinic. I drank 1 liter of water and then with a full bladder prepared for my transfer. Prior to the transfer C and I were sitting in the waiting room and the song "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey came on. It was so perfect and gave me so much hope. I felt it was a sign from my Dad of some sorts.

The transfer went well and was a little strange feeling but all in all, it was a really peaceful experience. They handed me a picture of my embryos and told me that I am officially pregnant until proven otherwise and that this was babies' first picture.

After the transfer I had another acupuncture session and then we drove home. It was a VERY long day and we were emotionally and physically drained. My mom was at our house preparing dinner for us. She stayed over night and took care of me the next day too. I was on bedrest for 2 days and then light duty for the next day after that.

I had promised myself I would NOT POAS but by 7dp5dt, the day before my beta, I just had to test. It was a BFN. I cried. I cried so hard and I felt so guilty that my body had failed us yet again. The next morning I went to Quest to have my beta drawn but on the way home I decided to pick up a cheap HPT and test for the hell of it.

And there it was. A VERY FAINT BFP! I had to wait the entire day for a phone call with the results of my beta. Around 3:30PM the nurse called. My beta came in. It was low. 11. Wow, that was even lower than my first beta when I had a miscarriage at 5w2d. I repeated the beta on 10dp5dt and it doubled to 25. Still low. So that is where I am now. I go in on Monday for another beta which should give us some idea as to where this is heading.

Dr. Sh.er said there is a chance of viable pregnancy but the chance is small. I have been having intense cramping but trying to remain positive. This is not the end of the road for us, and have accepted that this more than likely will end in an early miscarriage as well...but all hope is not lost.
