What is OHSS TTC74?

 

[momwannabe81]

I think its when the ovaries are over stimulated. I wouldn't know about the timing tho, hopefully it's nothing and just ur follicles forming and just being a little more painful then usual
afm i've been sneezing more then usual and i'm having a runny nose today

What is OHSS TTC74?

Ovarian overhyperstimulation syndrome. Hopefully, it's nothing or just a cyst, though. It's just that I have a big conference this holiday weekend and I don't want to be out of the area if I'm getting sick!

RE's RN just called. She says it must just be a bug. OHSS onset wouldn't be this late. Thank goodness! I'm going out of town for the weekend and didn't want to be in another state falling ill!

 

[momwannabe81]

Glad that wasn't it. Fx ur just producing some good follies

 

[tag74]

Oh good, that's great news!

Welcome back adidrea!

Yay for the trigger being gone, momwannabe! Feeling any good signs?

I'm still getting random cramps, a little more tired than usual, and I've got an ongoing headache. It's so hard not to try and compare this cycle to my pregnancy one, but I didn't feel any different until 12dpo then. I'm only 9dpo so in theory I shouldn't be feeling any different. I managed to not POAS this morning which is a huge accomplishment for me! Maybe tomorrow... maybe. But definitely Saturday.

Still praying your scan goes well tomorrow, Tag. Hang in there! I'm not sure how you're keeping your sanity.

Hey guys, I just posted this in the 1st Tri boards...what do you all think?

Hi there. I had a scan last Friday, I was either 6 weeks or 6 weeks 5 days. All they saw was an empty sac. I get a rescan tomorrow. I did have blood work after the scan (they were 4200) and had follow up blood work today (4.5 days later). My hCG rose to 5700. So clearly not doubling in 72+ hours. I have all the signs of pregnancy similar to my other two.

Anyone else have slow rising HCG and go on to have a normal pregnancy?

I'm so confused because I'm not bleeding and it's still so early and my HCG is increasing.

If they took my HCG from the first day to now, they have doubled every 72 hours, but the last 2 weeks it didn't follow that pattern and took its time.

I'd love everyone's thoughts.

Hi tag, I'm sorry that you are going through this and worrying. I can't really relate or give any advice as I have never been pregnant, but I'm crossing my fingers for you that everything turns out okay!! Let us know how the scan goes today!

 

[momwannabe81]

fx on ur scan tag, hope everything goes well.
afm just bummed, another bfn this morning, i know its early but still was hoping i would get a bfp, i even thought i saw a very very very faint line but it just wasn't there, i was using the trigger tests to give me an idea of where the line was and i think that's what was giving me the illusion it was there

 

[mkwalsh]

Tag - that post looks good. I thought I remember seeing something about how hcg levels take longer to double after the first weeks after conception, so I'm hoping they just checked on your LO a little too soon. I'm thinking and praying for you though. Please let us know how it goes today.

momwannabe - According to FF, only 17% or so of people get their BFPs on 9dpo, so hang in there! You're definitely not out of this game!

I looked back at BFP cycle from last year on FF and saw that I didn't start showing any symptoms until about 10dpo. So of course, I feel fine today. I'm not sure if everyone else's brain works this way, but mine is convinced I'm out based solely on not feeling pregnant, even though I know it's perfectly fine not to feel any different and still be pregnant. I never had any BB changes or tingling before. I remember starting to panic after giving birth because I'd seriously had no changes and I wondered if I was defective, ha, a silly worry. I feel so convinced I'm out though that I'm dying for a cup of coffee just for the taste and jolt of energy it could bring me.

 

[momwannabe81]

I've been doing half caf but still not the same I just try and keep it to the minimum that's probably y I've been so tired.

 

[tag74]

So I'm back.

Empty sac. It did grow 1mm a day since my last appt measuring 5 weeks, 5 days now.

The doctor was amazing but pretty adamant that it isn't viable. He freaked me out asking me to have a DnC tomorrow as they treat every pregnancy as ectopic and he wouldn't be able to confirm 100% without me getting the DnC. Huh?

I asked to wait until Monday, rescan and take blood work again. I know its hopeless, but I don't want a DnC tomorrow. This is just awful. And would they see anything if I was 5 weeks 5 days?

I'm in a bit of denial but that's where I'm at. We have until 5 pm to make a decision to go in and do the procedure tomorrow or wait until Monday. He strongly recommended I come in tomorrow.

It looks like I'll be joining you in TTC soon enough.

 

[momwannabe81]

I'm so sorry but I would also wait until Monday. There is always the small hope of them being wrong. With my sister they gave her a few weeks to see if she mc on her own. I hope they are wrong. Praying for u

 

[mkwalsh]

I'm so sorry Tag. I don't blame you for your hesitations on the D&C. I don't think I could go through it either - especially so quickly. It's a big decision and something that deserves a lot of thought. You don't want to look back with any reservations or regrets, even if it's very possible that it will end up happening anyway. Everything I've read says that 6-7 weeks is the range in which you would see a heartbeat via ultrasound. I know the clinic I see will only do the initial scans between 7-8 weeks for that reason, just to be sure it's not too soon. I really am sorry. I hope you're able to take the time you need to think and come to peace with whatever decision you make.

 

[mkwalsh]

11dpo and BFN... This one is a harder blow than I thought I'll be trying FRERs starting tomorrow so I guess I'll know for sure after those for sure.

 

[momwannabe81]

Bfn for me too but come to find out my ic are 25 not 10 ugh.....guess I'm getting frers tomorrow

 

[tag74]

Sorry guys...crossing my fingers for your BFPs!
