Hi ladies. So...
Aug. 2nd: BFN
Aug. 9th: AF
Now....Still waiting for AF. I'm 3 weeks, 5 days late, pg test on Mon was neg.
I understand that after an FET, it could take a bit for my cycle to reset but this was my third FET, and I have had one fresh transfer. Never had this prob before. (not that it can't be a new issue.) The latest I've ever been was 5 days late.
The only change I made was I stopped eating gluten Aug. 4th. By chance, a doctor was discussing celiac disease (in kids) but going over the different symptoms and he mentioned a few reports of the only symptom the woman had was infertility, the relationship between the two is unknown. I thought it made sense b/c sometimes people can develop a rash with antibodies in the skin. So maybe the antibodies can also be deposited in the uterus lining. (Did a bit of research on my own.)
Since the next step was to biopsy my endometrial lining b/c they couldn't figure out why the "perfect" embryos weren't implanting, I decided to just stop eating gluten on my own. I instantly felt better and was FAR LESS gassy. (I'm actually embarrassed now knowing that it wasn't just the way I am.) So I'll stay gluten-free no matter what.
I'm upset b/c when I finally called my RE office, they just wanted to give me meds to start my period - without seeing me or drawing a beta. Just assuming I couldn't possibly be pg. I just thinks that's a bit irresponsible.
Another thing is that my mother kept testing negative for 3 months when she was pg with my bro.
I have absolutely no symptoms of either AF or being pg. I actually feel great so I will just wait for AF to come, I'll take a hpt once a week, just to monitor. I'm finally off all drugs and feel like myself again, just w/o a cycle!
Just had to get this out. I haven't told anyone b/c I'm so sick of dealing with this, I had thought I was going to just take a long needed breather from TTC and now I can't help but hope, hope, hope that (despite the bfn) that I'm pg.
I know many of you have already delivered or are close to, and hope all is healthy and going well. Thanks for reading!
Silversurfer totally know how you feel. I just had my 4th failed ivf cycle and last week we had our meeting with the RE. I was so upset and angry especially when he said have you considered Donor eggs. Basically he said he will try one LAST time and if this doesn't work it is onto Donor eggs. I am so crushed as he only give this cycle 16% chance. My last cycle was a complete failure. 3 eggs 2 matured one fertilised but arrested on day 2 hence no transfer.
can you call back and ask for a beta? or maybe see your pcp or regular ob? they should draw a beta and progesterone level to see if you have ovulated before sticking you on meds. that is what my re clinic would do.
