Calling all RMA Ladies (1st page updates)

[MissyMaddy]

Little- COngratssss! and as far as your beta is doubling i wont worry

Kins- how did your u/s go?

I Came back from my follow-up appointment with Dr. Morris, she said our next step should be IVF! as my previous HSG (which was inconclusive) showed blocked tubes as they couldn't get the catheter IN But she said we can re-do our HSG or go straight to ivf! so if i can wait for 2.5 yrs i an wait for 2 months more , we will be doing HSG next cycle if tubes are open (hopefully) we will move to IUI or else IVF! So where will they send me to HSG? i wish they had that facility as i have a tricky uterine angle! I love RMA but I feel that I should be at the top of everything too! They COULD have done my HSG this cycle but they didn't!! Sorry i am just so emotional! i really thought we would start next cycle!

Hi Maddy

124...
That's the number of my 6week 5day future baby's heart beat!!!! Yey!
We had the u/s and we heard a heartbeat.

My beta went up to 6708 but my progesterone is still low at 9.2 but they said this is okay b/c I am using the crinone daily.

They checked both sides and no ectopics were seen so we had excellent news today! I can breath easier. It's weird I actually feel pregant now and not so sceptical. what a long road.

Sorry would have answered earlier but I'm actually at an audition in Atlantic City for Wheel of Fortune haha!

What a day this is.

Missy Maddy- I wish you the best of luck. I'm sure your patience will pay off.

I think I'm going to get the news of a chemical pregnancy after my b/w tomorrow. My pregnancy symptoms that I had before are subsiding. Preparing for the bad news but feeling ready for it and moving on to a FET.

 

[MissyMaddy]

Kins thisss is sooooo soooooo super exciting!!!!! Many congrats once again! what a relief!!

 

[MissyMaddy]

Hopeful i am so sorry you are going through this.. i really hope its not a chemical pregnancy,, fx'ed for you!

i had absolutely no symptoms what so ever when i was ttc#1! i was shocked actually after my beta.. so hang in there..

 

[Hopeful_NJ]

Congrats Kins!!! That's so exciting...hope all goes smooth from here.

 

[jchic]

Hopeful- symptoms come and go so dont read into it. I was only crampy in the beginning, and that came and went. Stay positive!

Maddy- great news. I would suggest not doing IUI and moving right to IVF after your HSG unless Morris suggested IUI? They will do the HSG at the Morristown office

 

[MissyMaddy]

Jchic, that depends upon HSG results. If this time results are inconclusive or show blocked tubes so definitely straight to IVF (and that will be in jan) or if it is clear than i would be doing IUI first. Yeah they will send me to Radiology department in Morristown, i though RE's should be doing this procedue as they are more educated to our anatomy! i had failed HSG two times so i hope it doesn't happen again! Morris said they will start their own setup for HSG after six months. She gave me 70% chance of success with IVF!

 

[jchic]

Miss Maddy - those were my success rates too that she told me, thats awesome news! Hoping the HSG is nice and smooth for you. When do you go for that?

KINS - HUGE congrats to you darling!!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Congrats Kins!

Sorry about having to wait Maddy - hang in there.

Hopeful, good luck...

 

[MissyMaddy]

Jchic i am on CD26 and backache already like AF, but i am so very irregular to if i don't get my AF by Thursday i will be going for blood work and than provera to induce AF and than HSG,

And so glad to know she gave you same percentage!! I will be so over the moon to get pregnant on my first try and get twins!! I am a very patient person but the age difference btw my son and my next baby is increasing and its not helping at all! how is your pregnancy going?

 

[jchic]

You are in great hands, so hang in there. I know the waiting is the WORST. I felt the same way, that all I did was wait to get started, etc. Once you start though, it moves quickly!

Everything is going well so far, thanks for asking!

 

[Kins]

Miss Maddy - those were my success rates too that she told me, thats awesome news! Hoping the HSG is nice and smooth for you. When do you go for that?

KINS - HUGE congrats to you darling!!!

Thanks I feel more relaxed today because of the good news.
Cautious but more relaxed ;-)

And I bombed at wheel of fortune lol so I will not be moving on to the next round of tryouts haha

 

[Hopeful_NJ]

Pulling out my hair now!!! First beta 21, now today 35. Not looking good. I have to wait all the way until Monday before they will do b/w again. I hate hearing all the possibilities of what could be going on. Ectopic??? Chemical??? All the waiting in limbo (screaming) IT IS MAKING ME CRAZY. Ok, got that out...back to the waiting game.

 

[DaisyQ]

Hopeful, I'm so sorry you are in limbo. I hope you get clarity soon. If it's a chemical, those beta numbers should start going down. If it's ectopic, unfortunately you may be in limbo a while longer until it becomes totally clear. I hope that it's a viable pregnancy, and there is still that chance at this point, but the numbers aren't great. Hang in there, and have faith that in the end you will get your "take home" baby, even if this pregnancy is not meant to be. Keep your eye on the prize.

 

[Gabie20]

I'm sorry hopeful the waiting game is horrible. I can't imagine what you are going through....

 

[Kins]

Stay positive hopeful. I know how hard it is. The baby I'd being stubborn but it's there waiting to rise that beta

 

[Hopeful_NJ]

Kins, wow must me so excited to have heard the heart beat!! Congrats again.

 

[MissyMaddy]

Hopeful, I am sorry betas are not rising enough fx'ed that they will. Are they checking your progesterone? Ugh the waiting part is v tough, we all are with you!


I got a call from my nurse yesterday at 7PM, lol yes that late but she gave me a good news that my prolactin is down to 0.5 from 63 in 20 days! I wish i could reach my pitutary and pull my tumor out so that it would never ever rise again! And as usual low estrogen n progesterone! Have to take provera from tomorrow!

 

[Gabie20]

Ladies tell me I'm not losing it. Isn't there a monitoring schedule somewhere on the website?!?I could have sworn I saw one!
