Hello everyone
This is just a quick update as I've been taking a break from BB. My scan at 7 weeks wasn't good news. There was a pg sack but no embryo. I was told to come back in a week and the pg sack had grown but it was still empty. The Dr said it's a missed mc.
I have an appointment with my FS on Wednesday to book a D & C as it could be weeks for a spontaneous mc to happen.
I am quite devastated and once I'm over this I hope I'm ready to try again.
Best of luck to everyone.

Happybaby- oh no, thats very sad news.I'm sorry it didn't work out this time, we are here for you when you are reay to try again, but in the meantime take care sweetie xx
THopes- yay for today!I hope everything goes great! My DH is a Saints supporter too, he would be jealous that you are going to the GF, i am Geelong
Possum-enjoy your 2 weeks off, I'm sure it will go quickly. GL with the new job are you nervous?
Damprye- I'm sorry hun, you must feel very confused. I guess if you are having doubts its better to take some time to work it out, whatever you decide we wll be here to listen
intheslowlane- welcome! Wow you are in the thick of it, it must be hard to make that decision but hopefully a nice BFP will be coming your way this Friday!! How are you filling in the week wiothout going crazy??
ALice-hi love, did you get the resul;ts of the BT yet? Hope its good. I got vile headaches from the syneral and I couldn't lift my head or have the lights on, has it gone away yet?
SammyP- I think the US people can see the follicles ( they just haven't grown yet) which shows that there are lots of eggs left, sounds like your scan went wellI would definately go to Bali, even if you are pregnant you can travel up until about 30-something weeks ( depending on your risk factors) and around the 20wk mark is the best time i think. I constantly put things off cos of thinking I might be pregnant but I am sick of it so am organising a trip to UK next year to visit DH's family.
Hi Sunbeam, Matthew'smum, Ferals, Jupiter, Mildez, Porsche
AFM- well I am in no man's land. Contrary to what I insisted was going to happen my spotting stopped after 2 days, nothing since, no AF, no pregnancy symptoms at all so I guess I am just waiting to see whats going to happen. Because I think I O'd the Friday after stopping my meds, AF probably wouldn't even be due until end of this week?? I did a POAS today but it was BFN, which I knew would be the case as I have completely soft boobies so am sure I am not pregnant. Will just have to wait it out. My hormones are all over the place too I am teary and had a massive fight w DH on Sat just before we left to go up to my sisters for her birthday.

HappyBaby, oh darling, I'm so so sorry
Ferrals, my heart broke reading about your DH's little girl and her grief over loosing Abbie. I just want these next few weeks to fly by so you can get your good news and let the joy start spreading in the family for this baby. How lovely to feel it wriggling away in your tum - seems like such a strong little one I can't help but feel positive and look forward to you being able to celebrate and enjoy this pregnancy like you deserve. x
T-hopes, only four hours to go girl, yippee!! Crossing everything that you have a BFP coming your way very soon. You're almost in the TWW now!
Saffy, thanks, the headache has been going for three days now. Not a migraine, just a really bad headache that I can't seem to shake. Never had this before so don't know if it is linked to the drugs or a sinus infection (which I'm a bit prone too). Feel super crap though which is disappointing after being generally well for the past few months. Trying to take it easy and rest but not sleeping well either so all in all a bit blah. How are you going? Has AF showed her face? When is your test date? Are you going to test?? Hope you are working on those holiday plans x
Now to catch up with everyone else - will go back and read through what I've missed in the past few days of being under the weather.

damprye I hope things sort themselves out with your DP
Happybaby I am so so sorry to read about your missed m/c
T-hopes best of luck today. Praying its conception day for you
sammypI would book the holiday also and then re-evaluate as it gets closer. I guess it would depend on how much money I would be out of pocket if I then couldn't go.
I haven't read all the posts. I haven't even been stalking much or on BB much. Just keeping to myself mainly. Will be of to read the posts.

SO sorry Happybaby :'(
I really hope things work out for everyone here and sennding lots of baby dust and sticky vibes to you all.
AFM- going to stop the subscription to this thread now. I need to work my head out.

Hi ladies,
Happybaby - I am so sorry to hear your news, it is such an empty feeling to have pg signs and then see no baby on the screen, I can totally sympathiseI hope the D &C is not too awful. We are here for you.
Damprye- I hope the break is useful and you can work things out with DP.
T-Hopes - Been thinking of your I hope you got a really great sperm count and the IUI went awesome.
Intheslowlane - Welcome to our thread. I hope your FET brings you the BPF you are longing for.
Saffy - If AF hasn't followed the spotting maybe there is a sneaky BFP coming
Sammpy P - I'm with the others I would definitely book the holiday and get insurance so if you want to cancel for some reason you can just get a Dr. to say you are too sick to go. I'm booked on a cruise on the 21-30th Oct and if I don't get pg this time I won't be able to go but I wanted to risk it because I was sick of everything being on hold.
Alice - You poor thing I can't believe it is a 3 hour round trip for your bt, I'm so lucky my clinic is 20 mins away. I hope you aren't getting sick, I've got a cold so maybe we are just copying each other this cycle. A massage sounds like a great idea. When is your first scan?
Hi to everyone else.
AFM - Well I am just busting with excitement. I had my scan and I have 14 follies, 6 on the left all about 13mm and 8 on the right at 13-17mm. I started the antagonist injection today (can't remember what its called) and have another bt wednesday with the plan for EPU on fridayI know we now have to get through collection, and fertilisation and cell devision but the first hurdle is over.
So gald EPU is friday rather than monday as originally planned as I then have the w/e to recover, any tips?
Also I saw GP on saturday and she said it is fine for me to stay on the Vitex. The other GP in the practise works closely with my FS and has for a long time and all her ladies are on it till week 12 so that has made my mood heaps better again.
Almost forgot. Having the little bub at my place was awesome. He slept in my bed and I got up for him throught the night (was exhausted the next day but didn't care). He is so gorgeous and smelled so good and so tiny (he was only 5lb6oz at birth 3 weeks ago) I WANT ONE !!!

The clinic just called to say my estrogen is 6500 which is very high. She rattled off a list of possible symptoms but thankfully I feel fine. She told me to reduce tomorrow's FSH and miss wednesdays all together. Anyone know if this is a major problem? I've pm'ed Ferrals because I know it is something she struggled with. They said to keep up heaps of water and protien. Any other advice would be welcomed.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
Sunbeam - I drank alot of gatorade to keep me healthy first EPU. Not good for the waistline, but kept the Overstim away. Good Luck, I'll be thinking of you.

oh Saffy, just read the end of your post. Sorry you had a fight with your DH but totally understandable when you feel your hormones are all over the place. I hope you've been able to sort things out and that your evening wasn't all bad. It's great that the spotting stopped...and I hope she stays away - lots of women say they don't get any symptoms to begin with so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed
Damprye, I'm sorry things are so up in the air with your DP
Intheslowlane, welcome to the thread and all the best for Friday. I hope you have a good strong embie snuggling in there and that you will get your BFP this time.
T-hopes, LOL at you poas just to see those two lines! You know, I think you might have convinced me to do it too since I never did one when I was pregnant last year and it'd be nice to have! I remember telling my DH I was going to have another pregnyl shot just so I could get a phone call from the clinic saying I was pg 'cause I'd never had that. Didn't need to in the end but funny thinking of it now. Hope you get another two-liner very soon!
Hi Possum! Congrats on the new job. Did you get a break inbetween this and the old one? I think you did the right thing and hopefully you've tempted fate and you'll have to have that 12 week conversation after all!
SammyP, that's great news about your egg reserve! Are you going to be trying around 'o' now you know which day it will be? With the trip to Bali, I would definitely go. I have put off so many things in the past ten years in the anticipation that I might be pg by then - staying in jobs so I could get the maternity leave even when I hated them, not committing to family holidays - I would definitely agree to go. A friend told me recently that you can get travel insurance if you are doing IVF and have to cancel a trip. Your family would all understand and it might be that you are well enough to go anyway. You know that old saying - life is what happens to us while we are busy making plans - make some plans and have something exciting to look forward to! x
MatthewsMum, hope the break this month helps and you have a renewed energy for things soon. I haven't heard of that treatment but I have heard that in the States it is common to remove any remaining tubes once one has been taken out due to complications. Even the TCM practitioner recommends it, which is interesting. I've been having herbs to help clean mine out and will be taking antibiotics to help with any possible low level infections with this cycle. Let us know what you find out and enjoy spending time with your family this month x
Sunbeam, I hope you enjoyed having the baby to stay. Oh they smell so good, don't they? I loved reading about your hope blanket, I think that is a lovely idea. I crochet too - started by doing baby blankets for friends. I have a half finished one in there that I look at and wonder if it will be for me. I hope you get to wrap your baby up in your hope blanket soon. How are you going with your cycle? You're a day in front of me I think - when is your first us? Good luck lovely x
Crafty, I hope your craft room is up and organised soon! I can just imagine how much stuff you have - fabric and wool and lovely things waiting to be made. Are the boxes slowly being unpacked? My brother moved the same time as you and I know it is taking some time to get through it all. Hope you are feeling more settled and enjoying having your own place again.
Mildez, Porsche, and anyone else we haven't heard from in a while that I've missed - hope you are all doing really well. And to our stalkers toolovely women, it's nice knowing you are there keeping an eye on us all and sending BFP vibes our way! I hope we get to join you soon.
AFM, well missed my bt yesterday 'cause I just wasn't feeling well enough for a three hour round trip so went this morning. Still got a bad headache but hope it goes soon - shoulders are very stiff and sore so don't know whether I'm fighting off a bug or if it is from the drugs, either way I think I must be a bit stressed because of the tension in my back and neck so I'm going to organise a massage and hope that makes things better. No more news yet - will pop in later to see how T-hopes went x

Hi Happy Baby,
That is traumatic news. I'm so sorry. Your Dr is right though. As sad as a D&C is, it's the mc my DH and I will never get over.
Crying for you and lots of hugs
Registered User
Oh Happy I'm so sorry. I've had a missed miscarriage as well and it's not what you are expecting when you have your scan. Take care of you GBH.
Platinum Member. 2010 RAK Recipient
T-hopes, congrats on your successful IUI! I hope your DHs excellent swimmers are meeting your lovely egg and all goes wonderfully from there.
Sunbeam, gosh I hope I'm following your path - 14 follies! That's fantastic news. Strange I was going to ask Ferrals exactly the same question about level because I got my bt done today and they told me everything is fine and to have another test and scan Wednesday but I didn't ask what the level was so I will call tomorrow. It's good that you are feeling OK and surely they won't cancel when you compare to Ferrals level?? Hope so anyway. Let us know how you are feeling tomorrow.
Porsche, I'm in a panic - have you had bad news or are you meaning the mc you had before? Sorry to be anxious but just need to clarify.
I've already done big post today so going to go to bed now. I had a great massage and a facial (and a wax so my bits are all tidy for the transfer
Registered User
Happy Baby: so very sorry for your sad news. So unfair. Take care of yourself.
Damprye: I hope things work out for you soon.
T-Hopes: wow! 10 million! Doesn't it just blow your mind to imagine that many swimmers moving around your body (well your uterus anyway!) Like you've been colonised! Sounds like the odds are good that just one of those little guys will get your gal and get you your BFP!
Alice: Sending you virtual hugs. Sounds like hard work with the headaches and tension. You made me laugh though with a vision of all your 'tidy bits!'
Sunbeam: Mmmm, baby smells. I hope this is just a sneak preview for you for when you have your own little one next to you.
Porsche: I, like Alice, also got a surprise when i saw your post. Are you ok?
Saffy: I feel for you on the hormonal rollercoaster. I am praying it is just too early for a BFP. Take care of yourself.
AFM: I have two weeks off before i start my new job. Not really much of a holiday though because most of the time i'll have DD at home. What i mean is: the two weeks won't be that different from life as usual. I was meant to have a couple of days to myself but one of them went down the gurgler because DD is germy and couldn't go to child care grrrr! Only about my second day to myself ever since she was born so i'm disappointed. But...what can you do?
A bit nervous about what the new job will be like and trying not to think about it too much and freak myself out!
Platinum Subscriber
Possum- new jobs are never as bad as you get yourself worked up for, it usually only takes a few weeks to settle in, hope the people are nice! Where are you up to in your cycle?
THopes-wow what a result, hope you have a relaxing TWW (oh..wait..no, you will be at the GRAND FINAL
ALice- hope the pampering helped your headache. Good news about the BT. I am thinkning of going to get a pedicure today, feel like a treat as I did nightshift last night and it was busy. Are you excited about the scantomorrow??? I'm pretty sure Porsche is referring to her last m/c so dont panic xx
Sunbeam-
Damprye- take care honey hope we will see you again one day xx
Happybaby- how are you going sweetie? xx
Hi intheslowlane, Midez, Porsche, Ferals, Matthewsmum, SammyP
AFM- nothing new to report, hoping soooo much for a sneaky bfp but each day with no symptoms makes me less confident. My mood is a bit better I think, I'm off to get a pedicure and a coffee ( post night shift pick me up!) Have a good day everyone xx
Registered User
Happybaby - I am so sorry this had to happen to you. I have come to dread scans. It's really hard to go in with high expectations of seeing bub and hearing the worst.
Possum - A new job is a good idea. I was offered a job while I was pregnant last Christmas. We hadn't told anyone else at that time as I was only around 7 or 8 weeks but I didn't want to start a job and then have to tell them a couple of weeks later so I was upfront and my boss was fine. He said they would just work around it. Sadly I lost that little one and the another one after that but at least I know the boss would be fine if I did get pregnant. Sorry you didn't get any time to yourself. I never know what to do with myself when I do get time these days but the pedicure and coffee that Saffy is having sounds great.
AFM - DH nearly went through the roof last night when I showed him that my blood tests came to $450.00 Actually it was $760.00 but it lists a discount, not sure why. I told him I think we can claim more back from it as there is an information sheet that says something about only having to be out of pocket $150 if they are done on the same day. Not sure. Poor DH. I don't think he realises how much we are paying these days for specialists and scans and tests and then other kinds of support if we do get pregnant. DH's brother and sister in law are in Canada and they have spent around $70,000 on IVF because it isn't covered over there and they have also had some in the US and had to pay for it themselves. All to no avail as well. They are currently going through the process of adopting from Africa. I can't see DH making that kind of commitment to this.
