HA - OMG, I love Hahahahahaha!!! I hope your transfers went well and things look good!! You 'freaking' deserve it!!!!
OK, ladies, I am seriously wondering if I had a "vanishing twin". I know it probably sounds crazy but I have had a chemical mc before and this is nothing. (unless the fetus is just staying put and they need to do a d&c?). I took a hpt last night and it still said "pregnant" (digi). My levels obviously have not fallen enough. I will keep you all updated. I started slightly bleeding on Saturday and it's pretty much been the same since. Crazy!! Doctors definitely don't know everything though.

Are they checking and following your betas at all? With my natural mc (my first, at 12 weeks) they had me get a beta done weekly until it was down to zero, to make sure there was no retained tissue. If the bleeding hasn't picked up any, I'd go back and ask for betas... here in the US (I don't know where you are...) they usually don't like to let you wait more than a week or two because they don't like to risk infection. And if you have had it with the waiting emotionally, then by all means go back and ask for anything you need. The process is so hard emotionally that you deserve whatever it takes to make it easier on you.
So sorry Butterfly! I know, I don't know if I said something to offend someone on the mc forums (maybe because I was trying to be strong and not completely fall apart). I had sh!t I had to get done (work, taxes, parents in town..entertain..cook for etc.) so I just needed to be strong and know that I could move forward and the sky was not falling (although I completely forgot what month it was the day they told me and did have some shock symptoms). I was told one week ago I was going to mc. I am bleeding less than I do during a period and have no cramping, just some bloating.
Dashka - Good Luck!! I hope you are pleasantly surprised with a

AFM, I'm sorry I haven't been around much in the last week or so. This IVF tww has been horrendous and though I've been lurking and reading everything in here (I can't quit here, ever. Ever.), I have been too wrapped up in my own drama to be able to support any of you and for that, I sincerely apologize.
Froliky and Butterfly are in a terrible wait now, and the downside of our age group is that too many of us in here know what that feels like. I wish neither of you had to go through this. I wish none of us ever did.
I really feel badly about having good news to share when you two are going through this, and with my history it's hard for me to feel "good" about my own good news at this point anyway, so those of you who want to read about it can find it in my journal - no need to go in to details here.
I love you ladies. I really do.
Butterfly - My numbers went down not up. I don't have any cramping. I feel bloated (like retaining water). Bleeding less than a period. They did an us and just saw a little beany in there (but I was barely 5.5 weeks along). My digi said "pregnant" last night so numbers are still too high. I go in today for beta again. I think because based upon my numbers the doctor said "you will go before the weekend" most likely and now it's Tuesday. The body is still an enigma in many ways.
Frolicky I had to wait for my 7 wk MC. I had just started TTC & got BFP only to be told a few days later had low HCG. Then every 3 days, wasnt doubling or even close. Still held out hope, but knew I was done so the waiting began waiting to miscarry is grueling. It can take weeks (I had blighted ovum) so I just prayed it would happen fast. It finally came at 7 wks & was like a really, really terrible period. Mine came w/horrible back pain - I was only 3 months from my last 2 back surgs.
My Dr. told me if it didn't happen "soon", they'd somehow "bring it on" so maybe if it doesn't happens soon (& #'s are impossible) they can do something like that for you?
Gosh, I have such heartache for you guys in the "waiting to mc" You guys seem to be taking it well. Grrrr, life can be so cruel sometimes! Please do something nice for yourselves
Butterfly - How many days ago did they tell you again?
