3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[SashimiMimi]

Pink my beta was on sept 10 of last year! I think it's going to be your lucky day. also enjoy those skinny jeans while you can. After you're pregnant it will be a long time until you can wear them again! And remember BFP symptoms are so individual that there is no right or wrong way to feel.

I'm really excited for the BFPs that are about to come in here and the ones that recently came. I think infertility makes us turn out to be more patient and loving moms because these babies are so wanted.

 

[SashimiMimi]

Baby Wish. I think it's awesome your numbers doubled. I know you feel like you're in limbo but just keep focusing and believing in that baby in there. I've been praying for you!

 

[Mrs. T]

Thanks everyone. Very reassuring. I needed that.

PinkPeony so far they are shooting for a 5dt on Wednesday but who knows if they change their minds. I will keep you posted.

Pink I had quite a few OHSS symptoms but they faded away after ER and never came back, and my beta numbers were high. Everybody's different, it's so hard to try to figure out "normal" symptoms! I definitely had my share of negative moments too. Hang in there!

 

[PinkPeony]

Thank you so much you guys. Totally reassuring. Sashimi that's crazy your beta was on Sept 10 too! Very auspicious! I love it!!!
Stayhopeful - that really puts me at ease actually. I know you had quite a lot of follicles so if anyone would be having OHSS effects I would expect you to. That's great they went away for you for good.

 

[Mrs. T]

I just heard from my clinic and all 3 embabies are doing well.

 

[PinkPeony]

Yay!!! it's a nerve racking wait to hear the status eh? Everytime the phone rang my heart would jump.

 

[Strawberry13]

Awesome mrs t!! Glad to hear they're all still growing. Try as hard as you can to relax these next few days. Hoping for an uneventful 5 day transfer!

Pink hope your little guys are making themselves at home in there

Baby wish how are you doing girl? Any news? Been praying for you...

Breaking dawn sorry about the bfn and really hoping it was just too early.

 

[baby.wish]

Hi Ladies hows everyone doing??

Mrs. T don't worry so much about the number I know easier said then done. Three is still three! Quality is more important.

Pink hang in there I believe the two week wait feels like two years and you analyze every single symptom.

As for me my beta number yesterday came back at 95. So although the numbers are still doubling they are still concerned as they are low. They want me to go in for an early ultrasound on Sept 13th. Its called a viability ultrasound to see if there is actually a sac or embryo in my uterus

Sometimes women have something called a blighted ovum where your placenta keeps growing therefore your HCG numbers will keep doubling however there is nothing inside the placenta. They just want to make sure. So i'm in limbo again! im just so stressed out about all of this and don't know how I will get through the next little while. Its so sad cuz I can't even be excited being pregnant as they are not sure if i'm actually pregnant! Man im tired

 

[SashimiMimi]

Oh baby wish I'm so sorry you are going through this! There is nothing I can say to make you feel better but please know there are a lot of women praying for you and thinking of you. This feeling of limbo is the worst and I'm sure you feel stuck. Can't get excited and can't get upset. Well I'm keeping optimistic that its a growing baby in there. Big hugs to you and I hope you and OH are finding ways to distract yourselves and support each other.

babywish, i am so sorry to hear you have to wait longer to find out what's happening. i for one will absolutely keep praying for you. i know this has to be so frustrating for you both.

[Strawberry13]

Oh baby wish I'm so sorry you have to keep waiting. I would say that getting a doubling beta is a great sign but the doctors need to make sure they're covering all bases I'm sure. I'm hoping and praying your little one is doing just fine in there just taking a little longer to settle in. Hang in there. Xo

 

[PinkPeony]

Ugh after all we go through with these treatments sometimes it's like nothing can just be simple and easy. The doctors are probably being extra cautious but that seriously sucks.

 

[StayHopeful]

baby.wish, I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. You'll be in my prayers!

 

[Bma11]

Baby wish- wishing you all the best. I still feel very hopeful for you.

Hello,
Can I ask a question?
I got BFN this morning and I am 12dpo and IUI.
My temps are down for 2 days. They should be up, because the hormone?!?
When should I quit progesterone pills?
What was your experience?
Thank you!

 

[Mrs. T]

Sorry dovkav123 but don't stop progesterone until you confirm with a beta. I have never temped so I have no advice about that. I hope your beta proves your hpt wrong.

 

[Strawberry13]

Dovkak when did your doctor tell you to stop the progesterone? When I was doing iuis mine used to let me go off after a negative beta test.

Temps are weird sometimes, I found them helpful in general to see where I was in my cycle but they weren't always accurate compared to ultrasounds and bloodwork. My doctors always discouraged me from using them.

Babywish I have to say I am a little confused, because my betas were very similar and our doctor did not express any concern. There is such a wide range for betas and to me yours seem on target. The only thing that was different is probably the timeline since I had iui and you had ivf. I really hope all this worry is for nothing, my numbers were the same and I am currently entering my third trimester with a healthy baby boy! I know another girl that had a chemical but hers did not double on the 3rd beta and yours has so you have every reason to stay positive! We are all terrified on some level especially during our first trimester so you are not alone, however I realize having your doctors express any concern at all is torture. Keep believing and we wil all be sending positive thoughts your way!!!
