September 10th was official test day and we headed out early to get J’s blood drawn for her beta. She tested yesterday, and it was negative, but since she hadn’t gotten her period, we went to get the beta anyway.
The nurse called at 1:30… Negative. Our hearts sunk. J mentioned the complete lack of period (she is like clockwork), and the nurse said if she hadn’t started by next week they could redo the beta or have her come in for an ultrasound to make sure everything was okay.
That wasn’t necessary, because after there days of wondering if it was too early for the beta to be accurate, our cycle ended.
This was our last vial of our donor. This was our last bit of money in savings. We gave this everything, and its gone like that. And we have nothing to show for it.
*sigh* I don’t know what we are going to do now…

I’m so, so, sorry. My advice is to go straight to IVF and don’t mess around with any more IUI’s. I know, it’s expensive. My employer paid for Wylie (except the sperm) so perhaps you can find an employer to do the same for you. Sending (non-religious) prayers your way.

I’m sorry. I second what Meinemo says – it worked for us and IUIs are not that cheap, right? Maybe it will be an option now you are BACK IN WORK!
