Recently we went through a natural cycle frozen blastocycst embryo transfer. Being IVF it was a big deal as we can't just TTC every cycle as normal people do, we have to wait months and spend lots of dollars for just one cycle... anyhow...

I have no patience whatsoever and of course I POAS! Transfer was the 11th feb and my blood test was due on the 21st. On the 19th I got a positive HPT. It was faint but it was still 3/4days before AF was due. However the following day I got a -ve on a HPT. I had been having pg symptoms since around 3days post transfer with LOTS of implantation cramping and nausea plus tingly boobs. I still had these symptoms the day I went for the blood test but the cramping had faded by the following morning that the results were due in. They indicated that one embryo had 'taken' but that it had failed (as it was faulty apparently) and my levels were already really low (only 9 already). AF arrived late on 22nd and was only 1day late. The nausea and tingly boobs ended around that time.

DH told me most emphatically that he didnt think it counted as a miscarriage when I asked him. He really hurt my feelings and made me think I was making a bigger deal about it than I should. His reasoning is that isnt every embryo a baby when we have it transferred and what is the difference here? My thinking is that this one was an actual pregnancy (however short) and that I FELT pregnant for over a week even thought it never got to the stage of heartbeat.

I guess it was just a chemical pregnancy not a miscarriage? Is that what it would be classified as? I just need to be able to categorize it for myself really. I dont want to offend people here who see my sig and they have had a "proper" miscarriage. KWIM???

AH Im rambling. I am just a bit confused (not to mention devestated of course)

Thanks people.
