So just a quick message to update on my scan I had yesterday....

It turned out to be bittersweet and not something I was expecting. I am pregnant with twins but one of them isn't going to make it as it is measuring too small, despite having a heartbeat. It is so horrible and I am so torn.... I am so delighted we have one healthy baby that is measuring right on time and had a wonderful heartbeat of 130 as that is all we ever dreamed, hoped and prayed for. But I am heartbroken that there is a 2nd beautiful baby that is there with a beating heart as well that I am going to miscarry... I understand it's mother nature's way and it has happened for a reason but it is so hard. At the same time I have to stay positive that the Dr is confident that baby number 1 is doing so well and will be our take home baby so that is amazing.

For the time being though I am pregnant with twins and it's going to take me some time to get over losing one. I have to go back for a scan in 3 weeks and by that time the Dr doesn't expect to see baby no. 2. I may bleed or spot a bit but he said most likely since it is up high in my uterus it will just be reabsorbed. Today I finally gave in and took my first anti nausea meds as it was just getting to be too much and my tummy gets big and swollen and bloated whenever I eat which is hard cause for it being so early it's a constant reminder that my body is growing 2 right now. But despite the sickness and everything else I am actually thankful for it as it's a reminder of how lucky I am to finally be pregnant. So for now I am sad but I am also over the moon and just hope and pray baby number 1 continues to grow healthy and strong.

I hope you are all doing well x

White- I'm both happy and sad for you. Nature works in mysterious ways, congrats on being pregnant. Keeping you and the babies in my prayers

White I completely understand how you feel.
I had another big bleed on Wednesday night to went to the dr again on Thursday. When he scanned me we found a strong heartbeat and fetal pole BUT there was another sac half the size the first one. He thought he could see a heartbeat but was not sure and it really was fuzzy. He thinks the reason I am bleeding is because of the vanishing twin.
I should be sad about the twin but I am petrified for my strong baby and hope it survives through all this.
Had another big bleed this afternoon with a rather large clot (tmi) and I really hope this is the end of my problems and baby A continues to fight. But I am too scared to believe yet.
Official scan on Thursday so we will see then. On Friday we leave for a eastern med cruise. Taking my folks for their 50th wedding anniversary. Will either be celebrating and enjoying the knowledge we are carrying a fighter or I will be drowning my sorrows and enjoying the wine.

Aww white it is totally understandable what you are feeling.

 

[bettybee1]

White - I understand that's although your really happy about your strong baby that it's also very heartbreaking to hear about the other baby ! I knew you was pregnant with twins out of curiosity what was the babies Heart rate ?


Peck- am really sorry you have been bleeding ? Did the doctor actually see a heartbeat ? Or was it a sac of blood ? Xx

 

[PecksTTC]

Betty doc said he could see the heartbeat but I was very very faint. I could see definitely see the tolk sac.

 

[bettybee1]

Peck - oh okah hun sorry ! How far on are you ? Xx

 

[ttcbaby117]

Pecks what does this mean. Praying all works out.


afm- 10dp5dt- I just got a squinter of a bfp on a FRER. I was only able to hold my pee for 3 hours and I was drinking a ton of Gatorade so I don't know if that is why or if it is a chemical. Who knows. I'm not celebrating yet. I have been holding my pee and not drinking for another 3 hours but I have to go. Is this long enough?

 

[bettybee1]

?? 4dp5dt ??

 

[Hopeful Cat]

Congrats ttc!
I think i can see something Betty...maybe wait a few more days and then test again

 

[beneathmywing]

I see it Betty!!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

?? 4dp5dt ??

I can totally see this! Awesome, Congrats hun!!!!!!!

 

[Hopethisyear]

Congrats Betty!!!!!!

AFM -7dp5dt and another BFN

 

[N8ie]

Congrats Betty.

I started my new round (minimal stimulation) today. I'm on clomid (2 tablets daily for 5 days) d3-d7 and Menopur (d3- 150iu, d5- 150iu, d7- 75iu) I'm going in on Friday to check if everything is going well. Hope this is the cycle that gives me a BFP

 

[Wish2BMom]

White and Pecks - I'm so sorry. I had another sac in with mine but it didn't develop beyond that. To see a heartbeat and know it's just not going to make it is tough. But I'm glad that you're also able to be over the moon for Baby A! congrats to you both - it's meant to be!

Betty - I see the squinter!

hope - keep hope!!

N8 - FX'ed for you this cycle!!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

Hope sorry to hear that hun, but my BFP didn't come till 10dp5dt and it was light so maybe it is just a late implanter

N8 - I remember you! Good for you to try again. I cant wait to see your BFP.

 

[waitingongod1]

N8- how exciting! Good luck!

Hi ladies,

I hope you don't mind me posting. I have just read the last 50 or so pages of this thread and would like to congratulate all of those who have gotten their BFPs! It seems like a super lucky thread to be in.

To the ladies who didn't get their BFP this time and to those going through tough times I send big hugs and good luck your way.

I am due to start stimming in around about a weeks time for our first round of IVF/ICSI. We are doing a short cycle so no down reg just straight into the stimming and I have my appointment this afternoon to be shown how to inject.

My husband has a low sperm count/motility but as far as I'm aware there are no problems with my bits, I ovulate normally and have been pregnant before. We already have a daughter who is 5 and have been trying for baby 2 for just over 2 years now, I'm hoping that all we need is some help for the sperm to meet the egg and we will have cracked it!

Sending all you ladies who are PUPO the best of luck x

 

[ttcbaby117]

Welcome Tinde! I am in BFP purgatory right now as I am waiting on my BETA results.....

I did the short protocol and I responded to it much better than being down regged, which is what they did on my first failed cycle. The short protocol is much less shots and it total I believe it was about 10 day of stimms. Good Luck and please let us know if you have any questions.
