Hi oneday86
If you have a suppository in hospital, they are usually rectal as this gives a better absorption than vaginally. You won't get anywhere near as much leakage, although that's not to say it's enjoyable putting it in your bottom! My nurses never mentioned it to me either, but if you ask them (such an enjoyable topic) I think you'll find some people who have to take them during the day prefer to do it this way given the lack or minimisation of leakage.
Hope everyone is surviving and GL to those coming up to their BT's
AFM - I have another BT on Tuesday so an hanging in here a bit. I think you all know what it's like as it feels like you are always waiting for something to go wrong. Wouldn't it be nice to just take an HPT then just sail through to 12 week scan without a second thought?
Had BT today (2 days early because I've had some bleeding). Im in that grey area again and have to test again on Monday. This has happened twice before so I know that on Monday it will be neg. My Hcg was only 10 which is still really low even taking into consideration that it's 2 days early. So, once again something has happened in there, but sadly, not enough. I hope that this time my FS might start looking further into why. There's obviously something wrong in there. I really thought this time would be it.

I'm at work at the moment, so sorry I haven't done personals.
I'm freaking out right now as I too have some bleeding. I have a history of short luteal phase and was taking pessaries to over come this for the last 6 months or so. I kept on asking if the crinone was going to be strong enough to hold me and they kept on saying yes. I should have insisted on the pessaries. I just know my period will be here tomorrow, just 8dpt.
I spoke to the nurse who said that if it's brown (which it is) then it is probably just crinone clearing out old blood. But I once had break through bleeding on pessaries and it started off the same way. Apparantely all I can do is wait until tomorrow?? WTF?? I feel like I need to know now.
I was even taking my temperature the last few mornings to check for signs of impending period. This morning is was 36.73C and usually I don't get my period until at around 36.65C or so. I guess there's not really much difference and the crinone is probably keeping it up a bit higher.
Hey ladies after cramping and slightly heavier bleeding today i thought the nurse was going to tell me it had failed but when i got the call my HCG level has more then doubled to 178 and my progesterone has increased to 40!! im having another BT on monday to see how things are still going, im so releaved im still prgnant but im still soooo scared!!! the nurse said the bleeding and pains could be the placenta forming???
I asked my nurse about inserting the pessaries in the bum and she had never heard of it but said she would check with the DR but i forgat to check when she called but she said it could make sense as there are lots of blood vessels up there.
Kaybee-im sorry but dont lose hope miracles do happen, dont give up xx
Lisa B- Stay positive i know its hard, sending hugs xx

oneday - wow, good news so far!! I hope to hear more of it. I completely understand that you are scared. Sorry hun, I had to have a little laugh when you talked to the nurse about pessaries up the bum. That must have been a hard topic to broach. Before I understood that the woman at my FS front counter was a PA and not a nurse I told her TMI a few months back. I told her that the FS really needed to call me because I had blood on my panty liner (my last break through incident). DP can't look at her with a straight face anymore. I can't believe how public our private affairs become
Kaybee - it must be so hard for you right now. know that I'm thinking of you. I'm hoping that little embie holds on tight.
Lairdoz - GL hun, yes sailing through would be great wouldn't it. It would have been so nice to fall pregnant in the first few months of trying and to be oblivious to all the possibilities of what could go wrong.
Hi to all the other ladies. I hope your travelling smoothly through your TWW and finding heaps of things to distract yourselves with.
AFM: I'm so unproductive at work, my mind is on the TWW. I"m just doing the minimal to get by. Do others have problems concentrating at work, or is it just me?
Ladies, im sooooooo down! the bleeding has increased slightly everyday, i still have cramps and today there are even small blood clots!!! and thats what the nurse said i need to worry about. iv done a home preg test everyday and all have been positive but i dont know im still very worried and i guess the HCG would still be in my system even if i miscaried wouldnt it? im thinking bout ringing the after hours doctor. Im so scared!!! my DH said to me last night you have been so down abut not being prgnant and now that you are your still not happy. I just dont feel like i can be, i guess im just preparing my self for the worst. i just wish everything could go smoothly! i needed to post cause you ladies understand and have been through the same xxxx
ME 23 & DH 25
ICSI
STIM #1 BFN
FET #2 BFN
FET #3 BFP
I'm sorry you are going through all of this. I know I wouldn't be managing any better than you.
If you feel you want to phone the afterhours service you should do so, that's what they are there for and get paid for.
You've had good HCG and progesterone increases so far, so hopefully that is an indication of the will power your little embie has right now.
I don't know much about HCG, but I thought I remember reading somewhere that some ladies notice it fading when they are miscarrying. I'm just not really sure.
Know that I'm thinking of you and sending very sticky vibes to your little embie!
Thanks lisa b, i rang the after hours DR and he said i just need to wait till my mon BT but he didnt sound very positive, im hoping sooooo much or little embie is still there but i dont think so thank you so much for replying xxxx
Don't you had getting told just to wait a few days!!! I think it's the worst thing to say when someone is stressed and just wants answers and reassurance - well for me it is anyway. When I phone the nurses in a crisis I want a course of action, a test or something to feel like we're moving forwarding and getting on top of the issue.
Lairdoz, I just wanted to wish you CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! on your BFP.
I tried to PM you to tell you but your mailbox is full. (Probably other congrats?) I'm so thrilled for you that it's finally worked. I *knew* this would be your month. And possible TWINS -- how wonderful!
Congrats to the other ladies who have had BFPs recently, and my sincere condolences for those of you for whom your latest try was unsuccessful. FX for those of you still in the TWW!
Well yesterday my HCG at 14dpt was 489. Thanks everyone for your congrats and for the last 2 weeks of discussions. I was heavily addicted and felt it was a safe place to be.
Lairdoz - GL with your next BT on Tuesday. They don't do all these follow up BTs at MIVF. I think MIVF do the minimal BTs ever, compared to what everyone else has. It will be interesting to see your numbers.
Kaybee - Hope the bleeding has stopped and I hope you work out what is going on. Make sure to do something nice for yourself over the weekend.
Hi Mum-2-be
Mini-Me - Sorry to hear of your m/c. Please nurture yourself and know that it's OK not to be OK. A nice warm drink, hot-water bottle, the couch and a quilt does it for me.
Oneday86 - maybe you could go to local GP and ask for a test today. That may help. Your DH also needs to understand that you are allowed to be worried, and he needs to see the picture for what it's worth. Demand some fussing from him. He needs to be there for you right now.
LisaB - yeah, I"m the same, work takes second priority when there's too much to think about. That's so funny about TMI for the poor PA.
Buggirl - how are you doing?
YogiBear - FX for July 2nd
Good luck everyone, take care and hope to see you in the preg. forums soon.

T4AF - Yesss!!!! Congratulations!! You must be over the moon. You give us all hope. Hope you can put all of this behind you now and enjoy your lovely growing tummy. Thanks - I will try to have a nice weekend and think of all the good things
Oneday - I'm so sorry that you seem to be living in the 'grey zone'. It's awful when inside you probably really do know what's happening but every single cell of your body just wants it to hold on tight IF (that's a very big IF) it's coming to an end then, frustrating as it is, there's nothing that can be done once it's started. It's such a hopeless helpless feeling. Remember too though, that there have been plenty of stories in here of early bleeding which has stopped and led to a healthy pg. FX for you
Lisa - love your story about telling the PA about your panty liner - eeewww. I have to consciously think about censoring my own conversations, even with friends these days. It's easy to forget that talking about bleeding, mucous, boobs and inserting things isn't your general everyday chitchat.
Have a good weekend everyone!

OK so here I go again. I typed a huge post on Thursday and then got some error message from BB to say there was a problem with a server or some techy thing!! Anyway I will try again. Hope I don't miss anyone as it has been a while since I was on and so much has happened.
Lairdoz - WOW congrats HCG 1800 bring on the twins!!
Terry - sorry for your BFN - hang in there and take your time having a break. Sometimes we all need a break from this crap.
Littlemissmoo - so sorry your news was not what we all hoped for.
Yogi - GL for your last few days of the TWW and your BT 2 july!!
Oneday - First of all a huge congrats. Re the bleeding I am praying it all goes well Monday. Rise HCG rise, rise, rise!
Lisa B - hope the TWW is passing quicker for you. Your BT and BFP will be here before you know it.
Buggirl - Congrats!!
Time for a Family - Woo hoo congrats great to see the beta going up and up.
Minime - I am so very sorry. This whole journey just sucks - just when you think you get a break things fall apart. Hang in there and know that we are all thinking of you.
OK so I am going to post this and then do another one for me as I don't want to lose it again.
Cheers Trea PS If I've misread anything or missed anyone I'm sorry! Hi to anyone I missed.
AFM - I had my FET 11 June and then we were away for a few days where we had no internet access and when we got home I just decided I needed to stay away from all things IVF/TTC and try and be very 'zen like' for the TWW!!
We had our BT Monday 21 June and it came back BFP with HCG of 69 and Prog 26. We were cautiously excited and Thursday's re test came back at 400 but my progesterone had dropped to 22 and the doctor was a little concerned so I was supposed to wait until Monday!!
I started spotting on Friday morning so went for a blood test again and was convinced it was all over. you could have knocked me over with a feather when my HCG came back at 630 (after just 24 hours) as I was sure it would have dropped. The prog results took longer and it was not until 430pm that I phoned the clinic to be told they had come in at 240!! So they asked for them to be restested because they were sure it was a lab error. Well they came back again at 220 so the have no idea how they jumped so high so quickly.
Anyway the nurse just said enjoy it you are still pregnant and we will re test Monday, but prog over 50 is good.
I am totally confused, totally drained but again cautiously optimistic and trying to just enjoy this for what is it.
Oneday - how are you going? GL with your BT today. I hope it's all good news.
Time - congratulations hunnie, wonderful news. I hope it's smooth sailing from here.
Trea - I understand your caution, but congratulations on the good news so far. GL with your BT today, praying it is more good news for you.
Hi to the other ladies sitting quietly through the TWW.
AFM: I POAS this morning and it looked positive. I say it looks positive because a line has proven not to be a line that counts with me. I've had a false positive before. My temperature was not high either this morning. DP won't let me get excited yet as there is a long way to go, starting with the BT on Wednesday. I have one more test left and will retest tomorrow. I don't really feel UTD i have a mild pain in the stomach and that's about it.
Lisa - that's really cool - a second line! I hope tomorrow it's darker, then on Wednesday confirmed with your BT. Stay calm over the next 2 days girl - will be thinking of you!
Trea - congratulations as well!!! They're great numbers. It sucks that we're all too scared to jump for joy with a positive test, but it really seems like with those numbers you can (gently though!).
Oneday - any news??? Praying that you're out celebrating
AFM - I've had lots more bleeding (TMI - clots and all) over the weekend and crampy pain, but I still can't officially add a BFN to the list below as I had another BT today just to confirm it's all out but it's not. It's not good news tough - hcg only 37 (seems laughable compared to other numbers in here) and progesterone 9 (why bother). So, they've assured me that I'm not pregnant but might be waiting a while - who knows how long - for it all to come out. Sometimes the ovum can keep growing (even though it's empty) for up to 7 or 8 weeks. I sooo hope not. Never ever thought I'd be wishing my hcg would hurry up and drop. For some reason though I feel very calm and peaceful
Good luck to anyone else (lurking or otherwise) nearing the end of their TWW
