Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

Hi girls Not good news with my beta today. Only went up to 292 today. Im going for an ultrasound on the 30th to rule out ectopic.
 
Sorry it wasnt better news beneath, how many dpt are you now? Xx
 
So sorry that you didn't get a better result today beneath :hugs: :hugs: I hope you are ok xx
 
Bmw, sorry it wasn't better news today. Hope it all works out.x

Amore really hope you're ok. Maybe writing about what you've been through will help you, if so that's fine with me.xx

Aurora, good to hear from you. I'm sure you have the strength and wisdom to make the best decision for you.

19 sorry to hear about your beta.

Hi to everyone else I've not mentioned-at work with near dead phone and no charger so posting quick before it conks out. Wishing you all the very best.xx
 
So sorry beneath. Can't believe they're making you wait till the 30th. Big hugs x

Libby, I had a scratch and couldn't start my FET a week later due to a cyst but the clinic said I didn't need another scratch for the following month as they are still effective for another cycle. I got my bfp so I'm assuming they were right but totally understand your concerns x
 
Hi everyone, I hope you're all okay. I've put my story from this week in a spoiler xxx

I wanted to talk about this experience because it came as such a massive shock to me and I wouldn't want anyone to experience the same thing. I feel like if I had been told it was a possibility I would have been able to deal with it so much better. So as you know I got a bfp around 9/10dp2dt, which never really developed. I kept getting faint positive tests for over a week until I reached my otd. They did a beta two days later and got 9, so I knew I was out for sure at 5 weeks. That night however I started getting very intense pain. I thought I was going to have the period of a lifetime, but actually they got stronger and stronger and were coming in waves. I was actually really scared as I couldn't fathom why it was it was so painful. Then I felt a passing, what felt like a clot. I looked at it (feeling horrifically morbid) and realised it was the gestational sac. And it wasn't tiny, it was about an inch and a half long, and an inch wide. It was a blue to grey colour. The thing that seemed to hit me the hardest was the tiny cord that came out the top. I was shaking, and was in complete disbelief. I had only had some faint tests, and to experience a mini labour and miscarry the sac was something I was completely unprepared for. I wouldn't have even thought there would have been anything like that after my results. I went from being very calm and assured about the whole process, so feeling completely devastated and without support. I had already told everyone it had failed, and they were kind and supportive, but I was fine. But now I wasn't fine but I didn't want to tell people what had happened, because a general amount of detail is a lot different to a 'I miscarried the sac and I'm traumatised' conversation. I feel as though I wanted to tell you all because you're the ones I can talk to, however horrible the news, and in the hope that if one person doesn't get the horrendous shock that I had somewhere down the line, then it's worth recording. Much love x
 
Amore I'm so so sorry that you've had to go through this :hugs: :hugs: It's only normal that you feel shocked and traumatised by your experience. Are you getting any support from the clinic? I think many clinics offer a free counselling service. It might help to havd another person to talk to about this xxx
 
Amore I'm so sorry, what a distressing journey for you. I'm glad you were able to share your story with us xx
 
Amore, I am so sorry that you had to go through this without support or previous warning from the doctors. I passed a clot as big as my fist yesterday morning and was already freaked out and was a bit traumatized. I could only imagine how it felt like for you :hugs:. Please seek local support like Jaybo said. Sometimes, what we need is a hug and the freedom to scream and dry our eyes out. :hugs:
 
Gosh ILT that must have been scary! I hope everything is ok with the twins? x
 
Oh my, Amore, that is horrible. When I had a m/c, they told me I could wait for it to pass naturally or do a D&C. I opted for the D&C because I knew I couldn't bear going through exactly what you just went through. After my m/c, I would just cry at random times for months.

What you experienced was very traumatizing. Give yourself the time and space to grieve the loss.

I so hope that you will soon have your miracle and that will overshadow anything that happened before :hugs:
 
Jaybo, yes it was. It's not that I don't want to share but I don't want to scare anyone :). I wrote it in my journal if you are interested to find out. I am thankful for BnB and for all of the women who shared their experiences. I was calmer than I thought I could be. No hysterical crying or anything. Just fear and hope mixed together.

Thanks Amore.

The babies are fine so far. I was catagorized as threatened miscarriage. Hopefully will find out more soon.
 
Hi ladies,

Just wanted to pop in and send some hugs......

Ilt.... I've read your journal, sweetie that sounds so scary, I'm glad the twins seem ok so far and am absolutely praying for you that they are both ok. Rest as much as you can. Xx

BMW... I'm sorry you are going through this lovely, it seems so cruel after the ivf journey, I really hope you are in that 30% with a slower rising hcg and that all is ok.

And amore... I'm so sorry lovely :hugs: I've had a mmc at 12 weeks after baby stopped growing at 7.5 weeks so I completely understand. You will never forget but you will move on and it will get easier. For now, look after yourself, lots of treats, hot baths, wine/gin and tonic, chocolate cake, a spa treatment, whatever helps. I bought a pandora charm for my angel and wear it on my bracelet.

Thinking of all of you. It's such a frightening journey. Praying for you all.

Love to everyone else, thinking of those of you with growing bumps and those trying again and of course everyone taking time.

Xxxx
 
Sending lots of love and strength to you ladies that are hurting and worrying right now xx.
bump: I had my scratch done on day 26. Finally got my period last night so back on track and scan in 12 days. Had almost forgot entirely just how stressful and emotional it is to be on this journey
