everhopeful - woohoo, 3 weeks will go by in no time.

First - I have heard many ladies say that cramping is normal in early pregnancy.

AFM - I have my baseline scan and bloods on Monday and I start my BCPs also. So that is it for me for 21 days. I will have an endo scratch in the week of March 26th and then stimming is set to start on April 8th. Im nervous, scared, excited, and feeling a bit up and down about this right now. I just hope it works and the process isn't to painful. I just keep remembering that I will be pregnant soon!

Thank you, TTC.

Yay for starting I hear that the scratch is no big deal. The process is going to be fine. I've gotten used to the shots. They don't really hurt. It's just getting yourself to do it the first few times. Before you know it, you'll be PUPO!

Thanks First, I appreciate it. I am just trying now to get over the Holy Crap I am about to do IVF feeling...lol

Hey Ladies, I have had a crazy 24 hours. Last night as I was plating my dinner, I got extreme abdominal pain. I paged my doc, but the nurse practitioner called me back. Thank goodness for her, since my Dr hasn't bothered to return a call all week. She said go to the ER if it doesn't go away within 2 hours. It sort of stopped after a rushed trip to the bathroom, so I went to bed. This morning, I felt like I had an abdominal injury. My father-in-law talked to his friend who is a gastroenterologist and he suggested that I go to the ER immediately. So we went. I was there for over 9 hours. They took tons of blood and did ultrasounds. There was nothing visible in the uterus. They called my ob/gyn for guidance and she refused to help (even over the phone) because I was in a hospital (closer to home) that she isn't affiliated with. So I called my Dr in Hawaii and he talked to the PA who was seeing me. They were apparently going to admit me and take me into surgery for an ectopic, but the Hawaii doc convinced them that it was too early for an ectopic to cause a problem or to see anything on an ultrasound. So...they sent me home to wait for things to get better or worse. :-/ I don't know what is going on. I'm still having a lot of pain, but it feels like gas and possibly a colon issue from when I had c. diff in Nov. They didn't check anything like that, but they did run a big panel of blood tests and everything was normal. They didn't mention it, but I saw on my discharge papers that I also have a 4 cm renal cyst. I don't know if that is something to be concerned about. Ugh...
My hcg went from 1140 on Monday to 2782 today, so it's still going up slowly.

 

[MoBaby]

Lotus I'd be concerned about ectopic as well with your Hcg at that level and nothing seen in your uterus. If the pain is still there tomorrow I'd go back to the hospital. You don't want your tube to rupture. Although they would have seen something if it were getting to that point i would think. Hope you start to feel better!

 

[alicatt]

Lotus.. wow, what an ordeal! I wonder what on earth is going on? I hope the pain is residing, and you feel better soon!

Ever.. AF is playing with me.. it disappeared! I am sure it will be back soon. I'm extremely nauseous right now I will hopefully be starting my trial soon!

TtcBaby.. I think we'll be in the 2ww together in late April/early May. I'll be doing my real FET then I hope!

First.. I hope your HPTs continue to darken!!

Happy weekend everyone! I'm beat, off to bed

Thanks, Mo! The pain has reduced dramatically. I almost feel normal again now that I am in bed and out of the uncomfortable hospital bed. I hope it's even better tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

 

[everhopeful]

Lotus - hope you are feeling lots better today!! When I had an ectopic they did find it at 6 weeks so they should be able to see something I would think. If you are in any pain please do go back. I ignored my pain for too long and lost a tube. And I'm sure this is not the case for you but please do take care of yourself. Xx

Oh my goodness!!! I can't even imagine my ob/gyn "refusing" to help! You poor thing...the whole ordeal sounds awful. I'm pretty new to this thread, but I remember reading about your move, and your dogs in particular!! If this is a new doc, I'd definitely start looking for a new one. Is the hospital going to follow up with you? I hate the idea of you sitting around worrying, especially with all the uncertainty, and the lure of the Internet. I think I'd harass my doc as best I could on a Saturday and try to get some answers...

 

[Turkey16]

Thank you for all of your thoughts. The scan went well. Baby is still there and was moving around like crazy. Amazingly surreal! Very low risk for Downs which is one less thing to worry about. Phew.

First - did you POAS again??? Is the line getting darker??

Great news Wannabeemum! Congrats!! In trying to get acclimated w/ everyone on this site, I think I remember reading that you were a big runner...is that right??

Thank you! I can't wait to follow everyone on here as they get their BFPs!!

I was a big runner. Used to run marathons. Am now lucky to get out for a 3-4k walk a few times a week - have been out on limited activity until further notice. Tough to go from one extreme to the other, but all worth it in the end.

Definitely worth it. I ran through 2 out of three IUIs w/ various oral meds/injectables, and then forced myself to quit cold turkey for the third to see it'd make a difference, but it didn't. 3 BFNs! Sigh. It's so tricky cuz you just don't know. With this iVF adventure I'm gonna stick to walking to be on the safe side...just nervous cuz running is my therapy, and with all these added hormones I'm afraid of some sort of catastrophic meltdown...I guess we gotta do what we gotta do, right??

Congrats again on your great scan!!! You must be thrilled!!

 

[FirstTry]

Lotus: what a tough time you're having. If the pain comes back, you shouldn't hesitate to go back. Do you have a fertility specialist at your new place or a regular ob/gyn? I would think an FS would be more equipped to handle such things. Refusing to help sounds heartless. Super hugs to you

 

[FirstTry]

Hi everyone.

So, today's test is the same or lighter than yesterday's. I'm guessing it will be a chemical, which is better than a long, drawn out m/c.

I know we could use some more good news on this thread, but I don't think I can help right now.

 

[WannabeeMum]

Turkey - yes, I'm in the camp of better safe than sorry. Once I meet with my OB I'm hoping to get clearance to do a bit more activity. Good luck to you!!

Lotus - how terrible. I hope you're better today. I'd be spending my rest period researching a new clinic - the people there seem heartless.

First - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Well, I caved in again. been testing since 3dpt3dt and for the past two days been negative (same test every day). Figured right on HCG shot is either not enough to trigger the test or completely out (my body flushes medication quickly). Well today 5dpt3dt tested and POSITIVE.. it reads Pregnant. (digital) Holy Moly what the? Gonna test again because I couldn't believe my eyes so at 5AM I woke my 21 year old daughter and had her look at it.. She of course got all excited gave me a hug and then went back to bed but hey I had to have a second pair of eyes.

Great news! Congrats!!! Can we see a picture? Love the pictures

 

[ArmyMomma]

Ok, Ali here it is. I hope it showed up! I am still at shock. I did test again which was negative so I called my Ob and the nurse of course reminded me that I should have waited til tomorrow morning... EXCITMENT!!! LOL I have noticed that my DH cat keeps trying to massage me. She has never done that before. And I wouldn't mind it except she uses nails and frankly she is still trying to figure out the whole massaging thing.. LOL She also wants to lay on my stomach been going on for about two days now. Hmm wonder if she can tell.

Thanks for sharing! I hope some day to see one of those! Yes, the nurse is correct at this early stage you must use first morning urine to get a good test. So don't stress about the negative!

Here is hoping that it is positive again tomorrow!
