Rach and FG - i have my fingers crossed for you but am sure you don't need it - You guys will be fine
To everyone else in the TWW - hope there are plenty of this month
AFM - well BT is not due till Friday but woke up in the early hours of this morning to horrendous (and i mean horrendous!!!!!) period pain. I haven't started bleeding but then again I never do until i stop the progesterone. I know that there are people who swear black and blue that they thought their period was coming and found out that they were pg but I suffer very badly from AF pain and even my FS has said that whilst cramping can be normal in a pregnancy, excessive pain is not normal. So i guess i will just move on and start planning for FET #6
I also suffer from really severe AF pain and this time was thought to be an ectopic as the pain on my left side was so severe. After having the lap last week to find all was fine and that we were in fact pg, I continued to have cramping and spotting and unfortunately miscarried last Wednesday.
My doctor seems to think that my uterus does not respond to the pg hormone and that it goes into severe spasm, therefore not allowing the embryo to implant or if it does implant to then miscarry. Of the 3 transfers I have had we have lost 2 and had a negative for 1.
After so many transfers and BFN's, have you asked you FS if there is a reason for the embryo not to implant.
I see my FS again on Wednesday and am going to ask for more tests to see if I have some possible reason why our embryo's don't stick or get rejected.
After so many try's I am amazed that you are able to keep going without asking more questions. Farm Girl was having trouble and got more tests and was diagnosed with a problem that didn't allow her embryo's to implant.
Just a suggestion, but seeing as we go through so much in this process if there is anything I can do to help I would rather know sooner rather than later.
I went and had my BP today and had a reading of 10 - so basically waiting for my AF to arrive now. I've had my cry now, so I've made an appointment to see my FS in early Jan to try and get to the bottom of my infertility issues. Who knows? - there could be a simple solution as to why they aren't sticking???
I'll do personals later - but just wanted to say thank you for being there.
TLO - I'm so sorry that this is the outcome. Thinking of you and hope that you are able to get some new direction and hope from your FS. Take care of yourself and give yourself time to grieve.
Thanks Kelly - I will be making an appointment to see my FS in the New Year and trust me, I have a zillion questions to ask. My previous FS just kept telling me that there was no reason why i wasn't falling pg and that if i kept trying eventually one would stick. After 7 attempts with him and getting no where with no answers that is why i left and tried a new clinic. This has been my first transfer with my new FS and I am confident that he will be more proactive.
Rach - do we have news yet? Hope you are out celebrating your conformed BFP
FG - HPTs can be evil you know. I hope tomorrow's BT brings you a nice "normal" HCG
TLO - so sorry for your BFN. I also think you need to grill your FS for more, more, more testing. I am on a concoction of meds this cycle to help implantation and hopefully prevent m/c. My FS is very open to "new" or "unproven" treatment but it did take my own research and requests to try this stuff.
It would be nice to think our Drs will just do the best for us but they have so many patients, i really do think we all need to be proactive about the care we are getting
Molly girl - my heart goes out to your too. I pray that maybe there is still hope for a BFP.
If not, then like I said to TLO,,, push, push , push for more answers. Take a peek at the immunological testing threads - lots of great info there for people with implantation issues
AFM -this whole TWW is driving me truly nuts. Insomnia is killing me. Not sure how much is drug and how much stress related but I am like the walking dead.Realistically, I am either pg or not by now so just want to move on either way.... sigh.... I am normally very patient but not with this stuff!
Can't say I have a strong feeling for yay or nay yet. Got all sorts of symptoms but with all the drugs, who knows?! Pessaries don't usually stop AF so will certainly know by Saturday when she's due. BT still a week away
Rach and FG - Good luck for your blood tests! It all sounds very promising for you.
Wouldloveabubba - AF not arriving sounds like a good sign so far! All the best for Friday.
TLO - I'm so sorry to hear about your negative HPT. I hope that 2009 is the year for you!
Mollygirl - I hope the cramping goes away soon. I know it can be scary but try and stay positive.
Merideth - Good luck for your test next week, and hope AF stays well away this weekend!
As for me, today's test results showed a drop in my HCG and so it's officially all over. I am glad to be off the medication, but am of course so sad about the results. I was really hoping that we'd be able to give ourselves and our friends and family the best Christmas present this year, but once again it wasn't to be.
Thank you all so much for your advice and support in this forum - it has really meant a lot. I hope to see lots of BFP's when I'm back in the new year!
We are pregnant! EDD: Sunday 16th August 2009
Got the news late last night. Dr says levels are a little low - but AF is due tomorrow so it is early days yet. I think only one has taken. I am happy, relieved, but cautious! As is DH... he just want us to get to the next hurdle etc...
Meredith - I know TWW is the cruelest form of torture! Vent all you need to hun
TLO - I am sorry this wasn't it.... Sounds like someting definately tried to happen. I hope you get to the bottom of it all soon.
FG - well today is the day my friend! I am sure you will be celebrating later today!
Mollygirl - I know it is so unfair - I wish you didn't have to be patient - IT IS SO HARD!
this month
I'm so sorry that this is the outcome. Thinking of you and hope that you are able to get some new direction and hope from your FS. Take care of yourself and give yourself time to grieve.
I am sure you will be celebrating later today!
