Multiple IVF failures...what now?

[Lucie73821]

I'm not sure exactly how long I will be on lupron. They sent me a two week supply, so I'm guessing no longer than two weeks.


I hope everyone is well!

Good morning ladies! Sorry to have been so MIA, but I went on vacation and tried to really limit my computer use, specifically anything related to TTC!

Bluebell and Blessed - Welcome! I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles, but at least you're in the right place to get the support you need for another cycle.

Lucie - Glad to hear you're starting again...hopefully this will be it for you!

AFM, we finally made the decision to move forward with 1 last cycle with my OE. That said, I have an appointment with Advanced Fertility in Chicago on May 14 to talk about DE which we will do if/when this last cycle fails. So thats the plan Stans!

Whathte, I am so excited that you have a plan in place and I have high hopes for you at Cornell. I hope you got to enjoy your vacation w/out the computer!!!

AFM, I graduated to my OB, first appt is Friday. I also get to stop the PIO shots every morning, yay. Im still on edge as Saturday and yesterday I had 2 brown spotting episodes, the nurse assured me that is is common and I may spot throughout my 1st trimester. I am on pins & needles for my appt on Friday, praying all goes as it should!

Im thinking about you lovely ladies!!

Hi Whatthe! That is great you are planning to move forward with your own. I am praying that works for you and you won't need to go the DE route! When will you start cycling again?

YAY one It is bittersweet, but so great that you are moving on to an OB. The spotting from what I have seen on BNB is common. I know it is scary too, but sounds like everything is moving right along And a happy 8 weeks (early)

Thanks Michelle! We will probably have to wait until July, but there is a teeny tiny chance we could squeeze in a cycle in May. We just have to wait and see what AF wants to do. Hahaha.

 

[michelle01]

That darn AF! She shows when you don't want her too and she won't show when you need her too.

Whatthe, Hope your vacation was relaxing and fun! It's always good to take a break from the computer and esp ttc as it really does consume us. I'm sure it feels good to have a plan in place. Fingers crossed AF is cooperative so you can cycle soon!

Patricia, congrats on graduating to your OB! It's never easy to leave the fertility clinic...I asked mine to keep me forever! But it truly is good as this means you are progressing nicely in your pregnancy!!

 

[L4hope]

Just wanted to send you good wishes for tomorrow Patricia! Will be anxious to hear your update!

Thanks Lauren! I did have an emergency u/s yesterday because I woke up to more spotting. I called my OB and they wanted me to come in ASAP. The baby was measuring perfect @ 8w1d and the heartrate was 174bpm. The Dr. said everything looks perfect and he thinks the source of the spotting may be from my cervix (although he did not do an internal). Still very un-nerving to see. I still have very little spotting this morning too. I've keep my appt with my OB tomorrow at 9:00, hopefully he will be able to give me some piece of mind as well.

Also, this week I've been feeling a little motion sickness and dizziness.

Please pray this little bean continues to thrive. Im so tired of worrying!

I hope you girls are well.

Patricia - Hopefully you'll be able to relax soon....I'm sure the spotting is very stressful! Hang in there!

 

[L4hope]

Hey Patricia! Sorry you are having spotting to add to your worry and nerves at this early stage in the game. But yay for getting an early ultrasound to see your little one is on track with a great heartbeat!! It's so hard not to worry, but it looks like your lo is doing great! Hopefully you'll feel a little better after you have a good report from the OB tomorrow as well.

 

[septbride]

Sorry you're going through the spotting worries...you're right at the same point where I had my spotting. I've read that it can happen around then because your body is weirdly still expecting to have a period that week. I'm not sure that makes any medical sense, but I still found it reassuring! And what a relief to have an u/s and see things looking good!

 

[oneof14]

Sept, I've read the same thing and tried to calm myself with that notion. Im going to accu tonight, she is going to do moxa, she said it helps stop the spotting.

 

[michelle01]

Sorry to hear about the spotting Patricia. No matter what stage any spotting is terrifying but glad you got to get some reassurance with a scan; and what a great hb too, sounds like maybe a girl Hopefully the acu will help with reducing it and also getting to keep your OB appt to see what they think. Hang in there

 

[septbride]

Mine stopped the day after my acupuncturist did some spleen points!

 

[oneof14]

Hey Ladies, I just got back from my 1st OB appt. Got another scan to see how my bean is doing. Everything is going good, cervix is good, baby looks good measuring at 8w5d. He doesnt seem too concerned about the spotting and said he thinks it will stop around 12 weeks. he also told me to stop taking baby asprin I've been taking since transfer. I also discussed the several tests that I need to take during 1st trimester. All in all it was a good visit and I go back again on May 10th (wow 2 weeks, how will I ever do that).

 

[whattheiveff]

Great news Patricia! Now you can enjoy your weekend (hopefully)!

 

[L4hope]

Glad everything looks good Patricia!!!

 

[michelle01]

That is so great Just wait till your appts get 4 weeks apart You are now a NORMAL pregnant woman well at least to the OB!! Glad your appt went well, no concern for the spotting and a scan which is great to get!

 

[L4hope]

Yeah I'm on my first four week wait and it's TORTURE!!!!
