Doctor Appointments

Hi ladies:flower:

I had my doctor appointment yesterday, the news was not bad but wasn´t good either.

He looked at the hospital reports from last week and explained me in detail what have I found. As I have started bleeding, they consider that it is an early miscarriage (chemical) however they won´t confirm that until my bloods come tomorrow due to my past (molar) and to check that there is no tissue left inside.

The scan I had last week picked two small cysts on my left ovary. the smallest one is the one that could cause more trouble as it is full of blood, so they need to monitor that very closely as it could damage my ovary and they don´t want that to happen. So I have a variety of scans to follow to see if it grows, melts, develops clots. They said if it does not disolve they will have to remove it.

So for now it is just waiting time :coffee:

They think that those little cysts might have been interfering with my fertility as my cycles have suddenly become irregular and every other month I ovulate late and have a long cycle. :shrug: who knows.

Anyway, for now I am on standby. They don´t want me to TTC until it is all clear. They still want me to chart to see my ovary activity patterns, but no OPKs needed.

So my OH and I have decided to take January and possibly february as NTNP, and let it to chance to see what happens. The good thing is in that time me and my OH will go through a variety of tests and I will update this thread with any information that might be helpful for other ladies.

Hugs to all :hugs::hugs::kiss:
 
Massive :hug: sus, I'm glad they're keeping an eye on you and I'm manifesting that cyst to melt away. Do keep us updated if you can honey. Thinking of you both :hugs::hugs::hugs:.
 
Sus, please update when you get any more news. Thinking of you :hugs:
 
Here's my update, not sure if this is the right thread because I haven't actually had any appointments but will soon.

Still waiting for this cycle to be over. I finally got dotted crosshairs on the 27th, the day was typical based on my past records, but "BD" timing was way off, so I know I'm completely out this month. :cry: I don't know if I really ovulated or not because of the Primolut but the last two months I've been taking it did not produce a sustained temp rise like this. I have 4 more days to take the Primolut, am already feeling some PMS. I'll take it for one more cycle, then we'll get our report/referral from my gynecologist and I guess then see the FS.

I've become more and more unhappy about this turn of events. I don't really like the idea of IVF but my doctor seems convinced it's the way to go. My DH has a good friend whose wife is on her second IVF pregnancy. She's a year older than me (she's 43) and had her first IVF baby three years ago. Her DH told mine that she got pregnant on the first round both times. This made my DH very optimistic although I told him whatever happened to her has nothing to do with what might or could happen with me. Besides, I haven't even had my first consultation yet. It's just my doctor who keeps on about it.

I'm sure I'm just being overly sentimental/stupid about not wanting the IVF but I know if I don't try I'll always regret it. Besides, we've been NTNP since May of 2010 and nothing. I know time is getting short, and the recent problems I've had with my hormones (prog. deficiency, endometrial polyps) is alarming to me. Hopefully my feelings will change. Any advice is welcome.

Here's my chart. I think it's looking better this month.

My Ovulation Chart
 
Laura,

Your chart looks good to me!:thumbup:

It is frustrating when you know you are out that cycle, however your chart looks a lot better than the previous cycle, that is great! :thumbup:

The thought of IVF can be scary, It used to be a no-no for me as I was scared of it, but now I am very positive about it, specially if they can separate the good eggs from the bad ones.

and of course, this is the right place to post! you can post whatever you want on this thread :hugs::hugs::hugs: And it is ok to feel a bit over sentimental, I am over sentimental most of the time :winkwink::haha:

Honestly lovely, we all get days like that, but we are here for you :hugs::hugs::hugs:

Sus, thank you so much for these words. :hugs: Scary is right. And you're right about the options for choosing eggs, even testing them in advance. This is really good, I know. I guess it just seems so technical. :nope:

Hope you are feeling well, have been thinking about you. :hugs::hugs:
 
My doctor has just called me, and my HCG levels have fallen to 3.5 now. It is a big relief as another molar pregnancy or an ectopic prengancy have been ruled out! It has just been confirmed as an "early miscarriage" or Chemical Pregnancy.

The good news about all this, is that my doctor has called me in next week to carry out investigations of why I seem to lose the pregnancies, and he wants to do it as a matter of urgency... I might not have to go private after all! It is sad though that you have to go through 3 losses so all this gets done.

My OH is not having the same luck though as he has not still had his SA letter, so will have to go private for him (he is registered with another doctor)

I can´t believe I am happy to get a BFN today!:happydance::happydance::happydance: I was worried about further complications!

Now lets sort those cysts of mine and I can then start TTC again :thumbup::happydance::happydance:
 
GL Sus and thats wonderful news your doc is looking after you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
That's great news, Sus. Maybe this won't take as long to resolve as you feared. :flower:
