1st Cycle IVF April 2013

Oh 2have - I am so so sorry. That is just awful news.

You sound amazingly strong about it and fantastic that you have already chosen your next clinic for next steps. Can I ask why you are still taking the progesterone? Once I had my m/c confirmed in sept I stopped taking it immediately and after 2 weeks the fetus still hadn't moved so had to have the medication to encourage it to clear.

I hope you get some answers. I'm so sad to hear this. I thought you and v2r were well on your way

Big hugs to you xxxx

2have so sorry to read your news did you have an early scan then nothing until 12 weeks? How awful for you. Its good you are making plans now when will you be allowed to start your next treatment? So feel for you it's a tough journey.

I dont know if I want to type this but I had my 7 week scan today all is looking good so that will be me left until 12 weeks now. xx

V2R it's ok, we'll try again and I'll get a karyotyping pathology done on this fetus to know what happened.
We had scans done at 5 and 6 weeks because of the bleeds I had. I lost one of two embies early on. We saw a good strong heartbeat at the 6 week scan with the second and we saw the pocket from the second embryo that caused the bleeds. I really thought we were good to go.

I had a ski weekend arranged for last weekend so I didn't come off the progesterone & estrogen. I wanted to have my doc's appt first so that I can get a referral to a reproductive immunologist to do an immunopathology on the 'products of conception'. I started to bleed last night before I could take the progesterone so I didn't take the pills last night. I'm assuming it'll come quickly and took today off but so far not much of anything. But if I can't find that kind of doctor and it isn't a chromosomal problem with the embryo (2/3rds of m/c's are chromosomal anomalies) then I know I need to get checked out for immune issues. I only know of a clinic in California and a lab in Chicago to get tests done. It's getting pretty complicated and expensive now

So heartbreaking for you. It's good you are making forward plans. If its immune issues do you get blood tests etc? It surprises me that clinics dont test for every possible thing before doing Ivf I think more tests should be done.
Its also ashame it's costing you so much money I'm very lucky that we get three attempts with the goverment funding.

Have you any holidays planned? It would be good for you to get a break from it all

I just got finished taking a week holiday skiing and then last weekend was a long weekend and we went skiing for all 4 days again. I called in sick yesterday because I thought I was mc-ing too. I'd love more vacation time but my clients will divorce me
