Pity Party for One (lr)
I got a faint BFP on Friday (11dpiui) and another Sunday morning. Super faint lines, and Sunday's did not get any darker. I had bloodwork yesterday afternoon and my beta was 10. So another chemical. That makes 3 in 10 months.
Now for my pity party- we will hit our 2 year TTC anniversary next month. I am tired of injections, bloodwork and doctor's appointments, keeping my hopes up, praying, crying and the never ending disappointment. I am tired of hearing about another person getting pregnant after only trying for 2 months. I am tired of seeing my husband's disappointment after I have to tell him that it didn't work- again. And eventhough I am utterly exhausted with 3T, I am determined to continue on with the next steps in our journey.
I will cry today and plan on what I'll be drinking come the weekend. I'm going in for another beta Thursday to ensure it goes to zero. Then starts the consults for IVF.
Do any of you have experience with multiple chemicals and any testing I can ask for? None of my losses have ever been considered clinical pregnancies, so I don't know if any of the RPL testing would be helpful. Also, any advice for IVF is welcome. We'll start stimming at the end of May. Thanks so much, as always.

:'( I'm so sorry sweetpotato. I can't even imagine the feelings you are going through right now. Take the time you need to heal through this, and move forward if/when you are ready.
As far as the tests that can be ran, our OB shy'd away from the RLP after our 2nd chemical and 1 m/c because he felt it wouldn't give us many answers. But I'm not going to say that's the proper route to go. I would definitely ask your RE about the RLP, and get his/her opinion on it. It may give you some answers, or it may just confirm that there's nothing wrong. But if you will wonder what the test would come back with, then I would push to have it done.
