IVF / FET Feb/March 2017

[Lana Farrell]

Oh wow star, that's exciting and a nerve wracking time. Lots of luck x
I'm 13 weeks now but when I had dating scan at 12.3 days they measured 13 plus and looked great. (The fluid loss happened after this scan) All so baffling. I find out next week if they have any chromosomal abnormalities. From my research of my symptoms I keep ending up finding placenta problems.

Thank you star and really hope this time turns out to be the one that will stick x

Lana sending you positive thoughts and love. Take care of yourself!

 

[October_baby]

I am so sorry Lana. I hope you get some answers today! I'm sending virtual hugs and positive thoughts to you today.

No such luck with consultant. She was good but not with the bleeding and fluid. Kept shrugging her shoulders and saying so many women with twins have bleeding and can go one way or another! I kept asking what it could be but she wouldn't say anything. And even suggested the fluid loss was urine, I was fuming. She repeated what everyone else had said, which was a blow. Nothing can change the outcome this early. So I guess they don't care what is causing the bleeding and agony! But she said I could be miscarrying or maybe things will be ok, not helpful at all. I'm so scared. Started bleeding again yesterday (bright red blood) after my appointments as I walked into work. I just think this can't be good

Oh lana I'm so sorry no one is helping with this, even if they don't have an answer they don't sound like they are even trying to reassure you or make an effort to look after you
Always thinking of you, I think you have two strong little bubbas there and I hope you can rest when possible and it all calms down xx

 

[Lana Farrell]

Thank you star. I may call my fertility clinic today and ask if they'd do a more thorough scan and look at my placenta etc. I pray I can make it to 25 weeks and then the hospitals will actually help as the babies have a chance of survival. Each day is a struggle and so scary. Didn't think pregnancy could be this scary.

 

[scoobybeans]

lana, I'm so very sorry you're going through this scare. I'm also angry on your behalf that no one seems to be helping you or giving you answers. That is unacceptable! Is it possible you have a subchorionic hematoma? They are more common in IVF pregnancies. Thinking of you & hope everything will be ok!!!

 

[Lana Farrell]

I keep stumbling across those SCH, I never knew they were more common with IVF pregnancies. I will for sure ask them to look for one of those this Wednesday (private place who have agreed they will check placenta and look for reason). I had a fairly good two days with just brown spotting (lots of bed rest, no chores) but last night and this morning I had pains and also started bleeding fresh red fairly heavy blood.
Scooby im so angry too that the professionals who are meant to be looking after me have just shrugged their shoulders and said nothing helpful, it's like they have no heart.

 

[scoobybeans]

I can't imagine how upsetting and frustrating this must be for you. I'm so glad you've got a scan coming up soon and just hoping all is well and it's an SCH. And most importantly, that you're healthy too! Please update on Wednesday. You'll be in my thoughts.

 

[Lana Farrell]

Aww that's so lovely of you scooby. I literally don't talk to anyone else about all these things so really helps to come on here and speak to you ladies. I am resting as much as possible, because I've read it significantly reduces the rate of miscarriage with SCH, and also helps placenta issues. Drinking lots of water too. Getting a numb bum from laying too long. Will update on here when I have some answers (PLEASE!!) I need answers

 

[Lana Farrell]

I have just seen your spoiler scooby!!!! Omg wooooohoooooo!!!!! Sorry for the late realisation. Congratulations and really praying for you it's a healthy and happy pregnancy x

 

[star25]

Thinking of you lana xx

 

[scoobybeans]

Thank you Lana! It was a long time coming & we're so happy. Please let us know what happens on Wednesday! I'm glad you're taking it easy & I think everything will be ok.

 

[star25]

Hi, how are you lana?

 

[October_baby]

Lana, thinking about you. I hope that your appointment went well.

Congrats Scooby and I am praying for you Lana.

Ronnie and I have been trying to put our losses behind us and so many of the family are asking when we are going to do the last transfer. We/I don't even want to think about it. I have had three blighted ovums now. How in God's green earth does that even happen. Not to mention ever since the last cycle I have had spells of feeling really sick to my stomach every week or so. It typically lasts all day. Not really sure but it has happened in such a repetitive cycle that I am thinking of seeing someone about it. Anyone had any spells of nausea after their cycles?

 

[ARKHUNE]

Hey how is everyone doing!!?? It feels like its been so long.
Just to brush up, Ronnie and I laid low for bit after the devastation of loosing our two embryos. We considered a new doctor and once our current doctor was made aware he contacted us immediately. Keep in mind we never heard from our doctor after our last transfer until after he seen our request to transfer records. We may be shooting for our last transfer for the end of November. Our last try and last embryo.

Hope to hear from everyone.
Ash

 

[star25]

Hi ash

Good to hear from you! I hope all goes well end of nov and you have had a good break from it all?
I’m ok thank you, currently 23weeks with a boy
Please keep in touch with how you get on!

 

[ARKHUNE]

Hey all we just had our first appointment since our two blighted ovum tragedy and............. the doctor has cut us an amazing deal to completely redo another cycle. We are over the moon excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe this is happening. We never thought we would have a second chance at this. We are thanking our God and be thankful all the more.

 

[dancingnurse2]

So happy to hear you get to do another cycle.
