Tubal Reversal ladies, just moved from WTT!!!

[stickybean4]

I am also 4 dpo.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

A positive is not possible at 4dpo right?

I took a test this afternoon, after holding my urine for 6 hours (don't ask how), and I thought it was negative. Now, it HAS been 4 hours, but when I look at it now, there is a squinter. But there is a line. It won't show on a photo, sadly, but there is something there.

I'm thinking it MUST be an evap, but I've secretly been peeing on sticks saily since 1dpo and still have those tests and there are no signs of an evap on any of those

 

[AngienDaniel]

Well, my doctor appt. went tough today. I almost walked out. He says that he 'feels' that I am having ectopic pregnancies. That I will have to have another miscarriage and then a d&c so they can make sure that it is in the uterus. He was pushing me to decide to get my tubes re-tied and then do IVF... (He is an IVF doctor.) He says that he has no problem giving me progesterone (for my own emotional need), but that he does not believe that progesterone supplements can or will support a pregnancy. I wanted to ask why every ivf patient has to be on progesterone then? Anywho.. my number is almost one (again) I told him about the positive pregnancy tests and I don't think he believes me.. I don't think anyone believes me. It is disheartening.. I feel beat and broken. There is no help for me. He says they're ectopic without any proof cause my numbers NEVER get that high. He is going to run the full barrage of tests, thyroid and many more that I don't know what they are.. I also have to supply him with my blood clot records, my hsg records and yada yada.. I don't want to miscarry again. This is the most difficult time of my life; add the positive tests with a number of one and I feel smothered in unanswered questions and being made to depend on nothing. I feel like I live in the Twilight Zone..

Angie- Right now you're right it does sound discouraging but I look at it this way. They dont have any way of knowing what caused the previous miscarriage 99% of the time they have to do a D&C and check the matter they obtain to be sure there is tissue from the baby. If there is not then yes it can be ruled and EP. But I hope that you dont have to have another miscarriage I hope that your next one is a sticky bean.

The bright side of this is 1 they are giving you the progesterone that will ease your fears of the possibly being the issue and 2 they are going to run all the blood work and that can help to eliminate any potential issues there.

I have never miscarried over and over but I did find frustrating is that I kept going to the doctor and was told I dont know over and over.... all my tests were fine but it wasnt happening. But we have to start somewhere and once the tests started happening I started feeling better as the results came back knowing I could cross one more thing off the list as the cause.

 

[AngienDaniel]

Brandy, the doctor and I had a talk for a couple of hours. I understand the steps he wants to take, but man they are hard when I have to keep having miscarriages; and for him to just say they are ectopic made my heart feel so heavy wondering what if he is right? It is so hard to keep doing this over and over just to feel like I end up at square one again with another miscarriage.
I know it isn't his fault and he is just crossing things off the list cause I have added issues with blood clots that make my miscarriages a possible clotting disorder. Plus, I have the unexplainable positive pregnancy tests right after ovulation that didn't start occurring until recently. I am glad to get things underway and even agree with having a d&c. I just don't know what it really is. Do they have to mess with my tubes to do a d&c? I have had two surgeries on them already and will not chance a third. I am scared I will not succeed and it makes me sad to know I might have wasted the money to get my tubes untied when I will just have to have ivf anyway. I feel like I might never get to have another baby. I feel pregnant again and if I am, I just don't want to miscarry. He has plans for a month or two down the road and I want to get all the stuff over with now, but he says that I can't rush because I will have to be on Lovenox shots and I can't be put on the shots until they find out if I am having ectopic pregnancies because having a tubal and being on blood thinners would put my life at risk. It is so stressful. I am praying and trying to be patient. He says that if I am not pregnant this month then I should not try next month to conceive so I can wait for all the tests to get finished and maybe something else will be the answer.
I am in wait mode.. I am just praying that he will give me progesterone when I find out I am pregnant. Even if that doesn't save my pregnancy, at least it will be off my list and my list matters more to me than his list.. Especially when my level was 7.4 at 5 weeks pregnant.
I am just trying to find some patience.

Angie-Sorry your feeling down, but it sounds like the Dr. is going to look for answers. Hope he finds your problem & you get your THB someday soon! As far as your tests being positive, with an HCG <1, I doubt they are truly +. When I was on several other boards, ladies where always complaining about bad tests that they get off line. To ease your mind you could get some more reliable tests or not test until your late. Best wishes Sweetie!

 

[cj72]

Angie, how old are you? My dr told me ladies closer to 40 always have a low hcg in their blood so for me not to use the super sensitive tests. They can't be evaps if you end up being preg! Heres what I'm thinking his reasoning is: Normally, it takes 4-8 days for a baby to make it through the tubes and implant. If the baby is implanting on 1 dpo, its doing so in the tube. Thats where hes getting his "ep" theory from. When they cut or clamped our tubes, it couldve damaged the cilia (hair like little things that move the egg thru the tube) and that would cause eps. Plus, ivf docs LOVE to push ivf anyhow. Girl, I hope this is your forever baby and you prove him wrong!!

 

[AngienDaniel]

CJ, I just turned 34.. I had the same thing happen with the positive tests last month to (different batch than I have this month.) I ended up pregnant for real last month, but I am not sure this month. For the last two months ONLY have I had a small amount of hcg in my system. I just figure that the Wondfo tests are ultra sensitive and are picking up the low hcg in my body. I got positives all month last month from 5dpo, but I did not get a you're pregnant positive until the day my period was due. Only with one pregnancy did I get a positive that early, but he says they're all ectopics, the 2 times I was pregnant before that, I didn't get positive tests until the day my period was due.. This is a completely new thing for me and it sucks! Plus like I said, this is a whole new batch of tests bought from a different seller and everything. Plus, like last month, there is a line on every test I take, no matter if it's morning or evening, but morning is darker. I have just decided to let it go. I figure that it is hard to believe that I am getting positives at all and it stresses me out, plus since there is a small amount of hcg, I know that is why the tests are positive and has nothing to do with me being or not being pregnant and it both raises and lowers my hopes and makes me testy and scared. I am gonna drop it and try not to test until my period is due.. that is around the 10 or 11th.. It is too much worry, especially with all the doctor stuff I will have to deal with now. Thanks for the concern Ladies.. I figure it is better if I stop peeing on stuff for awhile..

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I'm so frustrated. There's either something very faint or I have major line eye. The last two sticks I've peed on look like they have something faint, but not enough to catch on a picture. I THINK I see something when I invert the pic. Crampiness is coming back AF is due in 6 days.

I think I'm gonna see her. The cramping today feels AF like but is dull and more on the left side than the right. I really should stop peeing on sticks.

 

[Angel baby]

Hi ladies! I just wanted to pop in and say hello and maybe some encouragement! I see there are a lot of new TR ladies on! I had my tubal reversal in May, 2011 and did some iui medicated cycles and got pregnant 5 months after giving up all fertility treatments. My 1st tubal reversal baby made his grand entrance to the world on October 28, 2013 and we are so happy! Hang in there girls! I hope all of you get that BFP soon!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Congrats Angel!!!!

 

[cj72]

Congrats Angel!
Angie, I can understand that.

I'm 8 dpo and have had that low pressure since 4 dpo when I had a big dip below the coverline...Not much else going on here...Just wanted to wish you girls good luck!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

BFN on 7dpo with Wondfo and FRER.

I give up.

 

[LLawson]

Congrats Angel!

 

[AngienDaniel]

Well, my little Pickles...
I am 6dpo today.. I have to go to the doctor office and drop off my medical records for my hsg test and a release for all the blood work they ran on me for my blood clots. This is my first step to beating my infertility!!
I am excited!!
Before I forget, here are my symptoms: I have horrible acne. I NEVER have breakouts during any other time. That's pretty much it. I have cramps and a sharp feeling every once in awhile, but I consider those normal. (Acne is a pregnancy symptom for me and not a pms symptom.)

Anyway, I decided to take one pregnancy test every day just so I can catch it early if/when I do get a positive this month. I want to know as soon as I can so I can pray, pray, pray that progesterone is my issue and get to have my 'keep' baby.. I am nervous, but I decided that no matter what is found in my upcoming workup, if we do have to go through IVF, then we will have most of the money to do so at the first of the year. I will not let this beat me. I will go year after year until I get my baby. I will save money all year until I get pregnant either with or without assistance. I will eat Ramen noodles for two weeks out of the month if I have to to save money. Yep, I will live on cabbage soup if I have to. I will not fail. I will pray and fast, and will do whatever I should do to give my husband a little one. I WILL NOT GIVE UP! This season is just a small place and I will not go under, the pressure will only make me stronger. I will not quit or admit defeat. I will cry and gain more power with every battle. I will not faint or grow weary. I will trust in my God and myself!!

Now, I am done with my little pep rally. Gonna go play video games with my hubby. He has weird work hours this week so he is home for awhile.
I hope everyone has a good week and God gives all of us the babies we want so badly. I pray for all of you ladies every day.

 

[~Brandy~]

Angie- You know I wish you the very best and you're always in my thoughts! I think that with the testing and potential recommendations that the specialist can give their might be SOMETHING they can find that is an easy fix.. We know the sperms making it to the egg so thats one hurdle. You can beat this... I am cheering you on.

 

[cj72]

Hell yeah, Angie! Get it girl!!!

 

[AngienDaniel]

You ladies make me smile!
I am 8dpo today. I am figuring this cycle is a no-go for me. It is a double-edged sword since I have to wait until I get pregnant to lose it, so I can hopefully keep it.. I am living in Irony..
I don't really have any symptoms that I can differentiate from 'pms' to 'pregnancy'. I have the same symptoms as I have every month. I have to go pee every night, but I can sleep on my belly and the cycles I have been pregnant it hurt to sleep on my belly. I have no back pain, my acne has went away, I have an increase in cm (and that is very strange for me in either circumstance.) I am just chillin out. I am not looking forward to getting pregnant again because I know where I will be after that.
I have no pregnancy, no pms symptoms.. Just basic cycle change symptoms.. I am not looking forward to the cycle I have coming up since I had back-to-back pregnancies, my period is gonna be a killer this time.. Well, "Into everyone's life a little rainbow must fall." "Wait, I meant to say poopie."

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Changed my ticker this morning. My FRER was a at 10dpo

 

[Navygrrl]

Hi all. I'm back from Disney World and trying to catch up, but I'm worn out, LOL. We had lots of fun, and now we have lots of laundry to do.
