First time IVF - Started Lupron last Thurs - Would Love some Buddies

[beaglemom]

Amy - ditto everyone else's words. I am just so sorry to hear this. I never expected this to happen to you again...especially far along in the pregnancy. I will be thinking of you.

 

[LadySosa]

Oh Amy. I am so sorry. I have no words. My heart is broken for you.

 

[sars930]

Amy, My heart hurts for you. I just can't believe you are going through this again. I'm shocked, so I can't imagine how you are your husband are feeling. There really are no words to do it justice but just know you're in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[booger76]

Oh, Amy. My heart just aches for you and your DH. This is just so unfair. I'm so sorry, sweetheart.

 

[jkb11]

Amy- I'm so sorry. There really are no words to express how much I wish I could change this. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs Hunni.

Hello Amy and everybody else,

I have been following the stories of each and everyone of you for a while now. I hope you do not mind me posting. Amy, I am so sorry for what happened to you. I relate to it very much. This is really hard and unfair. I just wanted to tell you that once you feel ready, perhaps you can consider having some tests done. I tried after my second MC and doctors kept blaming it on my age... I wanted to be safe rather than sorry. My RE refused and sure enough I had a third MC. Doctors have different opinions and it is all very confusing. I have found support and advice on this website while on this journey.
I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and am so sorry for you.

Amy sending heaps of love and hugs your way sweetie. I know just how painful it is and am here anytime you want to chat, feel free to pm me. I have a friend who had 2 back to back mmc and then had 2 back to back successful pregnancies so I hope the same is the case for you. Look after yourself and be kind to yourself. I'm so sorry lovely. Xx

Terri!!!! Congratulations lovely! Awesome news, thrilled for you!! How are you feeling so far?

Moni, big congrats on the arrival of your little man Oliver. Can't wait for pics.

Everyone else, hello! I'm still following along and checking in quietly! Next ivf for us will be July so not really ttc focused at the moment but I will hang around if that's ok. My little girl has chicken pox at the moment so I am off work. Luckily the weather is beaut in the uk at the moment and although spotty it seems mild and she's well in herself so to be honest I'm quite pleased!!

Xx

Amy-
eab-I'm so sorry for all of your losses as well. This whole thing is just so, so hard.

MrsW-hey there! I'm sad to read that your doctor has chicken pox but at least her spirits are high and glad you are trying ivf again. I don't know much, but sometimes you just have to keep trying. I'm feeling fine. I go back in an hour for my second beta. I took another FRER today and the pregnant line came up before the control so that was a great sign. Other than that, I feel completely normal. I'm going out to dinner tonight and eating while I can still enjoy it.

 

[Mrs W 11]

I wouldn't trust her to be my doctor, she's only 2 haha!!

That's fab, yes make the most of feeling well and enjoy it all! So happy for you and good luck with your beta x

Amy - I'm at a loss for words. My heart truly aches for you. This is completely unfair and you certainly don't deserve this. I'm so, so sorry. You and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[terripeachy]

Mrs W-Gah! Autocorrect. I meant daughter. Sorry about that. It was early and I was in bed and didn't reread my response before sending. I have to get better at doing that.

Second beta complete. The phlebotomist that I liked was there. I said initially in a teasing way, 'Why weren't you here on Tuesday when I got my positive result?' She was like 'What? No one told me. Was it higher than before (the 5 that I had in December)? I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy' and she started crying. So then I started crying. I said 'We have to wait until today's result and then we have to wait for the ultrasounds and stuff. Then we stopped sniffling. hee hee. It was so nice..and it was really weird sitting in the lobby with the other women wondering who else was pregnant and who wasn't, knowing that I AM! My nurse is out on Thursdays, so I'll get the call from the previously rude nurse who now has a better attitude. I think people complained about her. I hope she has a good attitude today or I'm going to be upset. fxfx

 

[kfs1]

Terri - I can't wait to hear your results. Great news about that frer! Have fun at dinner tonight. And you never know - you could be pretty much symptom-less like me. Still too early to tell, right?

Moni - So glad to hear from you and happy to hear that you're going home! Congratulations again. Can't wait to see some pics.

JCM - I hope these 2 weeks go fast for you! I know you're so ready to meet this little one.

Babyw - I've heard friends say similar things about not being able to see their little ones after work. I'm sure it's so hard.

Hi everyone else!

 

[beaglemom]

Terri your beta will be great.

 

[terripeachy]

Here is my line porn from this morning. The pregnant line came up before the control, and it was much darker. And I am obviously in a time warp. I wrote 4/16/11 on it. hee hee. Crazy...Thanks beagle.

Oh and remember I told you guys about my AC being broken? Well, I called Toyota yesterday and they are replacing it for free. Well, I have to pay labor, but the dealership quoted me at 2300+ 1/2 day labor, that other random shop I went to said $6600 and now the final verdict is $381. I will gladly pay that. Woop woop!

 

[beaglemom]

Terri that is awesome...the line & the AC. I have to do servicing this weekend on mine. I do love my prius. I got a prius v last year in anticipation of baby.

Amy - I am still hurting for you. I agree some extra testing is needed. There is no reason to keep going through this if another path is going to have a better outcome. I truly wish you the best. It just shows none of us are truly safe in this journey. It shows we all need to be truly grateful for what we are given...even though we had to work our asses off to get there. I wish everyone on this forum & everyone in the infertility struggle only good things & positive vibes.

 

[LadySosa]

Good morning ladies,

Amy again, you are in my thoughts, prayers and best wishes. I am sure you and DH are just trying to comprehend what happened and just cope. I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself!

Terri - excited to hear your results today! That's so sweet that your phlebotomist cares so much! Awe. And AWESOME about Toyota fixing your A/C. I love Toyota - I've always had good experiences with them.

Mrs. W - so good to hear from you! Glad the weather in the UK is nice (I know those days are rare there), but sorry your daughter is down with the chix pox.

Moni - so happy that you are going home! You sure were in the hospital for a while. I bet you were antsy to get lil Oli home.

 

[terripeachy]

I feel bad blowing up the airwaves in light of recent issues, but I'm really super excited. Amy...you know I'm freaking out because even though things are good, they are not always that way and it's so scary. I'm trying to enjoy every minute I have because everything is so tentative and things can change in an instant. I hope you are feeling like getting out of bed today.

So with that being said, I just heard back from my nurse and my hcg has more than doubled. It was 539 on tuesday and now it's at 1170. I get to schedule my first ultrasound for next week, and I get to skip the third blood test!!!! I can't even believe it. I am still in complete shock. Today I am 5 weeks prego.

I also have to find a new OB because my current OBGYN only sees people until 12 weeks. Because I have been going to the fertility place, they keep me for 10 weeks, so why even go to my doctor for two weeks when I'm "high risk.?" Lots to do, lots to do.

 

[Babywhisperer]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That's amazing beta!!!! Now I know you want to stay in the moment and not get ahead of yourself, but this is such a positive trend. I cannot wait for your ultrasound!

 

[sars930]

Terri: That's wonderful news! Your phlebotomist sounds like the sweetest! It's is so nice to have so many folks rooting for you. And awesome development with your car. That price sounds a whole lot better. Maybe you'll feel great like KFS and myself. Hoping that's the case for you.

Mrs. W: good to hear from you! I'm glad you're doing well and enjoying time with your little lady despite the chicken pox. July will be here before you know it so enjoy all the wine and sushi you can.

Amy: Still thinking of you. My heart hurts for you. I hope you and your husband are taking some time for yourselves.

 

[beaglemom]

Terri that is awesome. As you said just enjoy the moment...it's all we really have. Good luck finding a new dr & an u/s scheduled. Maybe a stupid question, but why are you considered high risk? Just because of your age?
