The babies didn't stick...

I'm a bit late on the update. Last week on Monday we had our last blood draw. If our beta numbers went up as they should then we would assume things were on the right track. Unfortunately, my numbers were lower than our first blood draw. 15.5 to be exact. It was really devestating for all of us. We had a suspision things were headed south when my daily HPTs were getting lighter instead of darker. At this point I have miscarried completely and am on hold with birth control pills (basically holds your cycle in place), so we can start another round soon. This time around we will use fresh embryos. They will also be 5 day embryos so we can weed out the embryos that are not strong enough to survive. Hoping for much better results this time. We will start our next cycle after thanksgiving so I'm not consumed with meds during that time. I wanted to take a second to thank all of our family and friends for being such a HUGE supprt during this time. It was a roller coaster from the start and we had so much support the whole way through. I didn't realize how bummed I'd be if it didn't work. Even though this won't be my child, I still take my "job" very seriously and want him/her to thrive! Prayers for this next cycle to be successful are appreciated. I will update once we start back up again!
