Oh, I am LOVING the rings! They're all so pretty!!!

Lucy - I waited a week to find out for sure, and I'm still grateful that I did! I would never have forgiven myself if I wasn't certain!

 

[LucyJ]

I think it was a bit of a shock to us we expected them to say that we were having a miscarriage so when she said she couldnt be sure and wanted to do another scan in a week it through as a bit but I am glad at least then we will know for sure 100% wouldnt want a what if situation. The lady was lovely guess now its a waiting game and praying for a miracle.

Nato I love that proverb I think I will be saying that alot in the week to come. Good luck with the start of your smep!!

Hi everyone.. am feeling a bit blue, just got my results back from the hcg test, I am 4 weeks, 3 days and they are only 37 iu/l, which my gp was unable to interpret! I told him i pretty much thought that means not pregnant, even though my digi is still coming up 1-2 and the cheapie sticks I'm doing are getting progressively darker. He wants me to have another blood test tomorrow, but I'm due to have my intralipid IV then (for the NK cells) so I'm just so confused. I don't really want to put myself through 3 hours of a drip if I'm clearly losing this pregnancy.

Surely they should be higher than that? Be honest, I'm more than convinced this is over anyway, so I don't mind.

I'm waiting to hear back from my specialist, but I'm thinking if I stop the progrestrone supplements I will probably start to bleed, that's what happened last time, I only bled 2 days after coming off them.

I'm going to go back and catch up on the thread now.... hopefully you girls will cheer me up. Martin is at work and I haven't got the heart to call and tell him, he is going to be devastated.

I'm just fucked off really..... this can't even have anything to do with the nk cells, it's more to do with my bloody old eggs and i'm just so fed up with it..... I just want to give up now.

Back from scan! We have a lovely little wriggly baby in there!

YAY!

Very emotional and over the moon, it was so cute and so active it was amazing the difference between the last scan and this. Can't quite believe it. We've gone round and told all of my husbands family now which was amazing as apart from his parents none of them knew!

Will post a picture when I can scan it. Off to milton keynes now to see my parents xxxxx


P.S. I can't thank you all enough for your support so far. I know we've got ages to go yet but to get to this point alone is such an achievement and I couldn't have stayed sane without you.

I'm sorry hun i dont know much about numbers to help but wanted to send lots of for what you are going through. I'm sure the mighty Megg will be on soon to offer some more practical advice xxx

 

[vickyd]

Mone i know how you feel hun, not too long ago i was freaking out with my low numbers as well....Once again at 5 weeks mine were 200...Keep in mind that its the doubling that matters. When i got my first numbers i called three doctors. My doctor told me that the first set of numbers only confirm pregnancy and to wait for the next set before making any conclusion. The second one told me im having a chemical and the third confirmed the first. PLEASE wait for the repeat before loosing all hope.

 

[vickyd]

Cesca WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MinnieMone]

thanks Vicky, I think I just know really, the dr was just so bloody useless. I've cancelled my IV for tomorrow. It's £300 and I can't afford that kind of money, we already lost £300 a few months back when I'd booked it then miscarried the morning before and they wouldn't refund my money. *******s.

I didn't even think 37 iu means pregnant, but why would my lines be so dark?

Anyway I've had 3 cigs now and I'm off to buy another packet. I don't care anymore, useless bloody body, crappy eggs, what's the point of getting pregnant what seems like every fucking other month and this happening over and over.

sorry for having such a moan, I'm just so tired of it all, tired of hoping and getting excited then just being crushed over and over again.

Right enough of the self pity, I've got to pull myself together

 

[vickyd]

Anything above 15 is a positive pregnancy test. Its ok to feel sick and tired....We all know to well the feeling of uselesness and just being fed up! Dont feel bad for smoking, i did till my 7 week scan and my doc said its ok really.
Hang in there babes...

 

[MinnieMone]

Thanks Vicky, I'm going to try.... x

 

[NatoPMT]

Mone my lovely, have a look at this link i posted last night:

https://www.advancedfertility.com/earlypre.htm

if you are 4 weeks 3 days, that makes you 17 days after LH surge? hopefully ive got that right, if so, the low for your stage is 17 IU, your sticks are getting darker, do NOT give up yet. There's no reason to, you are much earlier than everyone else and your numbers can add up. Your specialist would have said if that meant your pregnancy wasnt viable.

Cecsa - yeay yeay yeay yeay!!!

do a little dance, make a little noise

 

[msarkozi]

Cesca - congrats hun!! are you ready for a ticker yet???

Lucy - I am so glad you are going to have another scan next week to make sure one way or another. I am praying for you!

Mone - hang in there!

I don't really remember anything else I ready now, as you guys are way too chatty while I'm sleeping!!!

I love all the rings!! they are gorgeous!!! My mom and dad got married when mom was 17 and dad was 18 in a month's time (she was pregnant with my brother)....being that they were so young and only in high school, the only ring my mom ever had for a wedding ring was her promise ring that dad had given her. For their 25th wedding anniversary (6 yrs ago), my dad surprised my mom with a polar diamond 1 carat ring!!! (these are worth approx $25,000)..... it's absolutely beautiful (and it will also be mine one day!).....it might have taken 25 years, but she got a gorgeous wedding ring! my dad was so proud of it, and I had to drive him to pick it up and he was beaming when he showed it to me......it's always amazed me that my parents are still married after 31 years now, especially since most marriages that happen because of being pregnant don't work out.

 

[heart tree]

Morning/afternoon all.

I had a little word with the angels yesterday. I asked them specifically to look over Lucy and Hoping but also added a little something for the rest of us too. I told them I would look for a sign and I saw one. I tried to get a picture of it, but I was on the bus. I’m going to drive back to it today and get a better picture. When I post the picture I’ll share the story.

Lucy, like Megg, I also was given some hope with my second pregnancy. I was about to get a D&C and they did a scan right before and saw something hopeful. They decided to have me wait a week. I made them wait two (because I didn’t want to go in on New Year’s Eve). Even though the result wasn’t good, I’ve never regretted waiting. It was a difficult wait, but it gave me peace. I’m hoping your outcome is better. I’ve definitely read other women who have been in this situation and the pregnancy was viable at their next scan.

Hoping, how are you? I agree with everyone, it is the doubling of numbers that counts.

Mone, I agree with Vicky and Nato. There is still hope for this one and it is not time to give up yet. Get your bloods done again and see if they rise. I’m putting in a word to the angels for you too.

Love the rings ladies. I’ll get a piccy of mine up soon. Mine looks nothing like a wedding ring. As much as I love to look at diamonds, I’m not a diamond girl. Raz, I really want to see yours. I have a passion for Native American art and symbology.

Cecsca, that is awesome news!!! You must be over the moon right now!

Nato, I took 3,000 mgs of EPO when I was taking it. Everything I read said that amount was safe. I’m still alive to tell the tale.

Well I’m getting ready for my appointment. It is in 4.5 hours. I don’t know what to expect really. Part of me is just expecting more of the same. We’ll see.

 

[msarkozi]

good luck Hearty - thinking of you!

 

[hoping:)]

Thanks for that Heart Tree I guess there is always room for a miracle but so far it is not looking too great- 3w6d hcg 108, 5w5d hcg 550 (definitely not doubling). I had my blood drawn this morning so I will get the results today. I would love for this to turn into a viable pregnancy... if not I just hoping it is not ectopic. if it doesnt end well at least it happened early on.

You mentioned that you like Native American art? I am Native American and I actually grew up on an Indian reservation in New Mexico. My parents and my mom's side of the family all still live there so we visit often. I have a ton of jewlery passed down to me from my great grandparents and grandparents. My family also paints pottery

 

[msarkozi]

Hoping - think positive thoughts hun! when will you have the results back? I hope they are great numbers!

That is awesome....I find the Native Americans do beautiful crafts. There is a Dene Tha reserve abotu 50 km outside of where I live, and they always come into town and sell us stuff. I have a couple of moose tuftings that I need to get framed! I think the art is pretty inspiring.

 

[NatoPMT]

Cant wait to hear your story hearty!! I didn't take my pic myself, i googled the name of the house, the train was going too fast to take photos. When i saw my sign, both times it was gone within 2 seconds - which is also why it makes it so unusual that i actually saw it. Cant wait to hear what the fs says too, i hope she's got some new ideas

I read for EPO it should be between 1500 - 3000 max too, i was on 2000mg so i am taking it to the limit now. I only have 2 months to meet the angels deadlines.

Im not really about the diamonds either, but now i have one, it sparkles so much that i stare at it for minutes at a time. I also make prisms with it.

On honeymoon in Brazil, my husband bought me a smoky quartz and got it set into a necklace for my birthday, its my most favourite non living thing in the world i think. Its like a bit of the 1970's in the 2010's. Ive posted a pic in the spirit of posting jewellery pics

Hoping - how long till you get your results? fx extremely tightly.

Can you post us some pics of your jewellery and pottery? Id love to see

 

[hoping:)]

I am hoping to have my results by noon (in about 2 hours). If not by then my doc promised she would have them by 5pm.

I'm at work right now but I can post some jewlery/pottery pics when I get home

Good luck at your appt heart tree!

excuse my ignorance, but what on earth is a moose tufting?? im boggling in my mind right now
