[jaan613]

Babywhisperer - Yes, just trying to take it easy and relax - what's meant to happen will happen Just wish it would hurry up though, i just wanna see the heartbeat. hehehe. I'm really being taught patience with this whole TTC Journey!

Thanks summer! I was tempted to do a third draw today for HCG but decided to stop stressing.

Hope everyone is doing well!

If I were to go through beta madness again I'd stop at 2 draws. I just found it to stressful. Mine doubled at 69 hours around 5 weeks and I had myself convinced something was wrong

 

[jaan613]

ok, yes, decided to stop at two betas and not do a third one!

still no symptoms - but taking it easy and trying to relax!

 

[Dini]

I did 3 betas but stopped there. My concern was my progesterone which is why I had three as mine was low.

My symptoms were slow to start and all I had for a while was menstrual like cramps unit about 7 weeks. It's hard but try to be thankful not to be throwing up and miserable!

 

[jaan613]

ive not had my progesterone checked, i don't know why my doctor has not asked for me to check that out.

after my IUI she put me on 200mg of utrogestan which is a progesterone vaginal suppository and told me to keep taking it until our next appointment which is oct 30.

after reading up so much online, i really wish she'd ask for me to check my progesterone, but maybe because she's already given me the suppository she's confident that it would be at the right amount?

I'm guessing that's the case jaan. Progesterone won't hurt during pregnancy, so if they put you on it and it was normal it'd be okay, and if it wasn't normal then that would take care of it. I just knew from all my treatments my progesterone was always low after ovulation, and I had to beg to get mine drawn. Very glad I did as it was low.

I'm allowed to stop taking mine now, but the MW told me to do what I wanted, so I think I'll just take 1 a day instead of 2 and then when my prescription runs out, probably around 24-28 weeks I'll stop. Just makes me feel better lol. She also wants me to stop the metformin, so I decreased that to one a day until this bottle is gone, and I won't fill my next one. She did however keep me on the baby aspirin which I'm glad for as it can decrease chances of preeclampsia.

Ok, so, I went to the closest hospital (not linked to my doctor) and paid to have a progesterone level check. Tonight I am 4w6d and my results came back at 31 ng/ml. I'm assuming (based on google) I don't have anything to worry about progesterone wise and the 200mg I'm taking vaginally is good enough?

Also I cheated and did my 3rd beta couldn't help myself, figured since they were drawing blood, I may as well!

 

[Dini]

31 is great! My RE wanted it above 20 so that's perfect. And I would've done the same with the beta lol.

thanks dini and moni, my dr only requested for two draws but i'm tempted to go tomorrow and pay for the third one some ladies say it's not necessary.....i think i am just going crazy. hahha. just so excited!
i have zero pregnancy symptoms, with my last (the one i miscarried) i had such sore boobs and felt like being sick every am even though i never did actually throw up. maybe it was the type of progesterone i was put on after the IUI. this time she changed it to utrogestan 200 mg.

hope all is well with everyone! xx

Relax and let you body do hat it is made to do. Symptoms come and go. Relax and take a breath. So happy your beta is great!

Congrats Jaan. Those numbers sound awesome

Hello, hope nobody minds if I join this thread. I am currently on my first cycle of Clomid 100mg days 3-7 with IUI. I did my Ovidrel trigger last night at 9pm and am having my IUI tomorrow morning. I can't help but feel hopeless. The doctor mentioned only about a 10-15% chance of it working. We have unexplained secondary infertility after 2 natural pregnancies.

i am feeling bloating tummy and its too much :/
and someone told me dont push more if u r feeling constipation, cant take any medicine :/

i am really worried, have anybody else felt this symptom too after IUI

 

[moni77]

yes, I was very uncomfortable after my IUIs - I think it is the effect of the trigger shot and the meds - it is not actually from the IUI itself. It goes away after 24-36 hours.

SOoooooo...I'm 5w4d and went in for my early ultrasound appointment. I knew it would be too early to see a heartbeat, so I was somewhat prepared.

We were able to see a nice gestational sac with a yolk sac. Ultrasound measured me accurately to 5w4d. I was quite happy bout that, as last time I never even developed the yolk sac.

However, the doctor told me she could see some bleeding. It was a subchronic hemorrhage (SCH) which measured 0.5 x 0.4 x 0.3 cm with a volume of 0.03ml. I'm a bit nervous about this and she told me it was not something to 'worry' about but just to be careful. She said it was common in pregnancies, could be implantation bleeding, etc. Because I am on progesterone supplements, that is why I never knew I was bleeding/spotting. She moved me from Utrogestan to crinone and asked me to come back next week for a repeat ultrasound. She also prescribed me duvadilan tablets to take 3x a day until next week. Anyone ever taken this?

here is a link on what that medication is used for:

I don't know much about SCH but is that considered to be big? small? Any tips?

She said to relax, take it easy, and try not to worry. So damn hard!

It's funny, I never had cramps at all, but this evening, I'm feeling an ache on my left side. Don't know if my head is just messing with me knowing that I have this sch now. *sigh*

I hope and pray that everything will be fine. Please say a prayer for my little bubs!

Hope you women are having a wonderful day!

hello, i would feel a little bit of cramps but nothing too terrible or painful at all. if you feel pain since you're saying its too much i would contact the clinic and see what they suggest to do.

hope you feel better

Jaan I know a lot of people who have had very successful pregnancies with some bleeding - not sure of the specifics with SCH - but know people who were put on bed rest for the first tri because of bleeding - if they have not restricted you, you are prob fine. I would prob self restrict - no exercising or sex for the week myself - but if they didn't say that you are prob ok!

FXed for you - but I know all will be good!!
