They took my blood to test levels today. I should know more tomorrow afternoon.
I thought I was doing ok, bit I am not. I hate having a ray of hope to have it stripped over and over and over and over again. I wish I could curl up on my bed and ignor the world, but I have responsibilities. Every hour or two though I have collapsed in a corner to feel sad and I finally allowed myself to cry.

Update.
Ob office called today and said the hcg was 658. Looking back at all my notes and things I wrote on another TTC board I just don't know what is going on.

Here is the whole story with dates. Maybe someone else can make something of it. On march 27 I started to miscarry, I bled for a couple of weeks and spotted for longer. I had a faintly positive frer test on the 18 of April and a for sure negative test on the 21. I also noted a ton of ewcm on the 21-23. We bd on the 22, and ff says I ovulated on the 23...so five days after my last faintly positive frer after miscarriage. I didn't think I could ovulate so soon after a positive preg test so we didn't protect. That was the only time new conception could have occurred. On may 2 I started to bleed lightly, the 3-4 I bled heavily, 5 was a medium flow, and the 6th I bled light again...a fairly normal period for me. Every day since that day I have spotted. On Sunday the 12th I got a positive pregnancy test. Monday my blood draw showed the level at 658, today another digital test was positive, and tomorrow I have to go in for another draw to see if the levels are rising or falling. Yesterday, the day of the ultrasound I would have been day 20 past ovulation. I would have expected to have seen something by then of there were anything to see, but nothing was apparent on the ultrasound. I am so confused.

Awesome, I'm so sorry this is confusing. Until one goes through it, you just think you are either pregnant or that you aren't - that there isn't really a middle ground. I don't want to scare you, but with my ectopic I had a period and about a week afterward I took a test because I felt off (and had a little tiny bit of spotting which was odd) and I got a BFP. I really am hoping the best for you and that you get some answers soon. Waiting is so hard. :hug:
 
Emzlovliam: OPK can be positive if you are pregnant, and it was probably due to the HCG that was still in your system. It takes a while for it to go down. It would be nice to be pregnant and if you are congrats, but my guess is that you didn’t ovulate that early, and you might be getting ready to bleed again. However, your body can do really weird things after a miscarriage and maybe this could be it for you! Good luck!

Mowat: Congratulations! I hope this little bean sticks!

Awesome: I could be wrong but I don’t think you can see a sac until 5 or 6 weeks. Maybe it was still too early to see anything. I hope your numbers jump! However, with my ectopic, like a lot of people here, I had a period and they thought I was miscarrying, but then my hcg went up again and again and again. Then they diagnosed my with ectopic and it took two months for my hcg to drop. I hope whatever is going on you get some clarifying answers soon.

Kat: Welcome! I am so excited to see you again!



AFM: I have my beta today in two hours, but I POAS this morning and it is negative. Now we are trying to decide if we stick with the femara or move on to injections.
 
Thanks, Karen! You've had such a journey, and I'm thrilled to see you trucking along with a positive beat!

My doc recommended I start with the Bravelle (follicle boosting injections) from the beginning, but since it was so expensive, I asked to start with Clomid/Femara. Since I failed with those, I finally switched to Bravelle and got pregnant the first try on the injections. Sadly, the pregnancy ended, but the point is that it worked! Praying it works again, and that I keep my baby this time.

Fingers crossed for you, Karen!!
 
This morning I began to have a weird pain onthe left side. I am quite concerned about ectopic. I am tempted task for another scant his afternoon just because I'm supposed to be headed into the mountains to a cabin for a girls weekend out with friends early Friday morning. All these signs point to a possible ectopic and I am seriously scared.

Did you have another blood draw today? That should provide a better indication. I kept having scans and nothing changed on that end. It was finally the blood tests that pointed to something being off. I'm so sorry you are going through this - I know how awful the waiting is. PM me if you want to chat. :cry:

Same here. THe scans never showed anything, it was all the bloods. When do you expect the results?
 
Just wanted to reach across the miles and offer best wishes to everyone. I was feeling pretty good about things and even had some very slight spotting Friday, but my breasts are flat as pancakes!! Fertility Friend was being friendly and my temperature even rose to 98.6 yesterday, possible triphasic shift and everything is nicely and safely above my cover line. But, it's indicating that I Ovulated on Day 15 now, it's concerned that some of my temps are off but is sure I did O, my OPK was never truly positive and I didn't retest like a fool (I have a Biology Degree from Texas, but the lightbulb failed to go off on this one!) and I made the dreadful mistake of not doing the baby dance on day 14 and 15 because my husband literally worked a 48 hour shift with our limo biz for prom and was recovering. So there you have it...only time will tell. It's still early days.

But, I'm a bit of a Debbie Downer today. :cry:

A lot of thoughts have crossed my mind....A mom from my son's school is pregnant now with #3 at 275 pounds...she was told not to, but didn't heed doctor advice. She's doing well. It crossed my mind today that I worked so hard to go down from 194-120 pounds in 2011 on an insane regimen and even went vegetarian...but here I am. Maybe my hormones haven't recovered from the MC. Maybe the MC was less the morning after pill and more the fact that I had amenorrhea for 3 months in 2011 as a result of running 4 miles a day and doing Weight Watchers as well.

I've also gone up to 132 and can't lose it for anything because I don't dare to risk losing weight while TTC.

I'm being bratty today, sorry <3 It's still too early for me to even test and my period which was 25 days last month isn't due until May 17.

Hi Lucy I'm sorry your feeling down at the minute hoping you've picked up a bit now? Your definitely still in with shout having tried all those days, keep us updated :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
Just though I'd try a pregnancy test today, 'cause, you know, why not? Um, it's positive! Peed again a little later and used a digital and it was positive too! My doctor won't be too happy, I seem to remember her saying to wait 1 cycle!

Please stick!

Yay!!! Congratulations :happydance::happydance::happydance: hope you feeling ok and praying for a sticky baby :happydance::happydance:
 
Hi, Everyone!

I lost my first in January. Felt like it took forever for my hcg levels to get to zero. Then I had a surgery to fix a slight double uterus, and this is my first month TTC again.

I'm 41 and have low egg quality and quantity, so they have me on Bravelle injections to boost my chances. Husband has ED, so we have to TTC with an IUI. That's my quick story!

Love and :dust: to all!!!

Welcome to the group I'm sorry your here but wish you lots of luck trying :hugs::hugs:

Hi Karen sorry it wasn't good news, hopefully your not out yet, it sounds like you have some big decisions to make I hope they're easy on you, I wish it was easier than this :hugs::hugs::hugs:

Hi awesome this all sounds so confusing I have no idea how your managing to cope you must be so up and down, I hope you get some some answers either way for your sake it definitely sounds like it could be ectopic although clearly I'm no expert. I'm praying its good news for you though but just slow coming :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
I went in for my second draw this afternoon. I was so concerned that it could be ectopic, and with me headed into the mountains on a girls retreat I was upset that the trip would not be enjoyable wondering and worrying like I was. The doc was awesome. He took me right in and I got a scan to get a really good look at my ovaries and tubes. 48 hours before there had been nothing visable, but my bladder had been full and we couldn't see the left ovary, which is where this weird pain is. The scan showed a tiny 5 week sac in the uterus! I actually started to cry. I have been through enough, that I know very well that this doesn't mean that I will be having a baby in eight months, but there is hope. Probably more hope than is good for me today. The beta results will be back probably tomorrow and the we will have an even clearer idea of what is going on. As of right now I am still spotting a little, but until I actually miscarry I am hoping to celebrate life! I hope this weird pain on the left side is just gas pain.

That is wonderful! Congratz! I hope this little one sticks!
 
So my beta was negative, suprise, but our DR has aproved us to move to an injectable cycle. I have my class on how to use them Friday at 1130. Now praying hubby can get an extended lunch so he can be there.

Oh my gosh!!!! What a great outcome hoping this is your sticky one!! I'm not surprised you cried after all you've been through what a huge release, I hope your spotting stops and you can finally start to relax :happydance::happydance::happydance:

That's a big step forward, hope everything goes as it should do and is straight forward for you x x
 
Awesome news Awesome! I had a feeling you were pregnant---stupid medical people making us worry! This is it!

I had an appointment today with a new doctor that hadn't been informed of my history or the fact that I was coming in for a BFP. To make matters worse, I got two negative tests in the office. Fortunately they're sending me for blood work and I have left over prometrium from my miscarriage. Why can't doctors get better hpt! I find it ridiculous that I have better ones than he does. Good thing I'm remaining calm... trying to remain calm!
 
AwesomeSauce that is fantastic news!! Praying it's a sticky bean!!
