How bizarre - I didn't receive any notices of any new posts until today...

Kel - that's great news - I hope that you don't have to wait long.

Sara - I'm bizarrely excited for your BT - I'm so glad you moved it up - I am thinking of the saying "when you least expect it"....when would you normally see AF? I assume she has not reared her ugly head.

Ms Pink - I may self-medicate and up the dose to 60mgs (my pills are in 20 mgs units, so that's my only option, I wouldn't want to do 80) as I've read all the studies I could find and not one mentioned anything other than the 75mgs - I'll just blot my face constantly...and tell my husband that facials are now part of ivf

Hi WTH, Meredith and all the others out there.


AFM - well, I have had a bad, bad 48 hours. My m/c-related cramping and bleeding started again on Friday after nothing for almost a week, and got so bad, that I rang my FS on her mobile at 8pm on a Sunday night. I was terrified - she asked a bunch of questions and decided it wasn't an emergency, but had me come in this morning. I didn't sleep - I had dreams of bleeding to death and just awful awful stuff. When I saw her this morning I learned that my HCG levels quickly dropped from 4000 to 1000 (good) but then have kind of stagnated (in the same period of time, the most recent drop was only 200 - it is now at 800 - bad). She also did an internal exam which was so uncomfortable - I really almost lost it then - there's no dignity at all involved. After she was done, we sat down in her office and told me that I may need a D&C. I couldn't believe it - I thought the only good thing (if you can call it that) of having a natural miscarriage is that you don't have to have a D&C. The decision won't be made until Wed - on Wed she had me book in with the proper ultra sound place and I'm to see her immediately after for a decision. I held it together in her office, but when I called DH, I cried and when I called my sister, I cried and when I saw my new acupuncturist, I cried. Which brings me to the only good part of the past 48 hours - I found a new, very kind acupuncturist whose clinic practices only in woman's health/fertility/ivf support. She was great - her treatment today was an attempt to get my blood flowing to avert the need for a D&C - although it's only been 2 hours since the treatment, I think it has been working - my reasons for thinking so are too disgusting to share, but at least I have a glimmer of hope of avoiding the D&C - and my cramping is getting slightly better.
