Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception April/May 2014

[juniper76]

Stupid chem pregs!! It's like a fake golden carrot being dangled infront of you on a string that's ripped away just as you touch it!!
Phooey poohey bumsticks!
All this ltttc ends the same way even if I do get that golden bfp.

It just sucks. I strongly suspect I had a very early chem pg last week too - had a lot of pg symptoms at 9dpo (including symptoms I don't normally get) and AF was a day late. My acu last night even agreed it seemed likely. But I never got a definite +HPT to confirm it (just a faint shadow at 10dpo, which was inconclusive), so no way of knowing...

ps. I'm fine, just letting you know you're not alone in this. xx

Sarah, so sorry. Just really horrible and not fair at all. Hugs to you. Are you getting support around this?

Juniper, also very sorry about your chem preg (and not being able to confirm it).

Sarah and Juniper, lots of hugs coming your way ladies . I've never had a chem pg, but I'm sure it's devastating to know that something was beginning to happen and then stopped. Not fair Thinking of you both.

Quick update on me ladies...I went to see my FS on Monday and he was as flat as a pancake, saying he was disappointed the last 3 FETs didn't work. He just said he would support me in whatever I wanted to do, didn't try and pus me into another cycle, but did throw all the stats at me of getting pg at my age . So I think he was just covering his bum. So, after a long talk with my OH, we decided to look for a new FS. I was recommended Nick Logitis??? at Monash Clayton, and also Gareth West. Does anyone have any FS they would recommend in the SE suburbs or Monash Clayton? I was told Nick is very radical and the opposite to my FS, so maybe he'll have something else to try or he'll find something we've missed?

I'm sure one of the mods will chime in on this, but just make sure any feedback on specific doctors is sent via PM, not posted here.

Sorry to hear your FS isn't behind you 100%. I went for a FS with a more "radical" reputation (apparently one of his patients had quads) last time I changed and have been very happy with him. I figure with my AMH through the floor, we need to be aggressive in our treatment approach. My previous FS was very conservative, so I've gone from one extreme to the other... (Lol, and our first FS was simply out of his depth with us!) I can't help you with any specifics (since I'm in Brissie), so that's just general feedback that seeing a FS with a very different approach has felt like a good move for us. Oh, and he was also the one who diagnosed DH's issue - I still find it frustrating that our first 2 FS both missed it...
