From bad to worse (well that's what it feels like)
Rachael Thanks for your kind words and good advice. I already have some plans to fill my time in between treatments, if/when I do start chemo. Unfortunately travel is out for the moment, but I was thinking strip dance lessons (LOL should spice up the TTC process when I get back to it) and volunteer work with kids (But first I have to figure out how to get a self-addressed stamped envelope to the Aus Fed Police when I can't get Aussie stamps here). I am deeply sorry to hear about your friend and her child. It is so unfair. I have spent a bit of time in a waiting room full of cancer patients & their families and sometimes it is heartbreaking just watching ppl. I can't imagine how devastating it would be to have to go through that for your own child. And so young too.
Salt I hope it isn't AF. I've got my :crossfingers: for you hun.
Treelo LOL hope the tww feels quick for you. How gorgeous that your little bloke scored his first try! Its awesome how involved you are in your kids activities too.
LisJessie Good luck with ur test and hope ur DP is ok.
Las I'm sorry for what you've been through lately. That sounds awful. But you had methotrexate for an empty sac? Why? I had a D&C for that (9wks gestation but 6wk sac). Did you have one injection? I'm glad to read that your treatment wasn't painful. I think I might have to start a series of treatment (week on, week off) for 3-5mths. Is your a FS a gyn? Make sure you get a good med opinion if ur still bleeding 2wks after you passed the sac. I hope you recover well and that your next embryo is the one you've been waiting for.
Kerry Wow long distance relationships are tough at the best of times. Could you & DP take turns to take a couple of days off each cycle around O time? Meet somewhere for totally impractical but romantic DWs?
Dawnee Welcome, and I am sorry for your loss.
Satya Sounds promising. I hope this is it for you :crossfingers:
I saw a specialist in molar pgs on Fri. He was excellent. But I now have something growing in my uterus wall, as well as a high HCG.
He admitted that he didn't know exactly what was going on (cos I have molar symptoms but path reports all say "normal"). He thought maybe my first pg was molar and has been growing since then.
It was comforting that he didn't want to rush into chemo, he spoke to other specialists and took his time to decide that it (methotrexate) would be the best way to go. So I am now scheduled to start tomorrow, will be in hospital for a week. Then have a week off.
But thankfully it is such mild doses that it won't make me sick or make my hair fall out (I am soooo vain ;) ). It will just be time consuming and I don't think I can get another job if I tell them that I can only work every second week! I have some ideas for filling my time though.
I am still hoping to not have to start chemo tomorrow tho. I got an email from my Sydney ob today saying that my first pg wasn't molar either. But even if nothing is molar, my sydney ob would still recomment methotrexate :(
I wish my body would just carry pgs to term. Failing that, I wish it would m/c fully. I hate that it has decided to do a half-ar$ed job at both.
ANyway, I'll keep you posted (I might have loads of time soon, so it'll be even more detailed!!!).
