Thank you girls!

April 9th is so much closer than the 13th. haha. I don't know how I am going to wait so long.. I should be used to it. I have been waiting for 2 1/2 years for this! ;)

Wow jhopeful, you sure get to retest your Beta often. Are you still thinking no twins?

My RE didn't order new B/W for another week (didn't seem the slightest bit worried). I feel confident though, I finally got a positive read from an HPT, and that didn't happen the day of my original Beta, so I am sure things are moving in the right direction. I was so sore originally; I thought I was feeling my uterus expand. Now I am actually feeling better and the nurse told me it was my ovaries, still stimulated and enlarged. I am grateful for the weight loss and decreased bloating, but I told my DH that it's strange b/c b/f I thought I could feel the preganancy (which I guess wasn't true) but now, not so much. I am enjoying the daily wonder of all of this though... my body, but not my own!

jhopeful

Yeah, I guess it's still a possiblity on twins..will find out on the 13th.  ;)

They did frequent b/w with me because last cycle I did get pregnant but my numbers started low and continue to rise slow sill eventually I mc'd.  So I think they wanted to make sure i was definitely in a better place this time.

I don't feel very pregnant either.  Just the little bit of extra tiredness. that is about it.

So as you all know I have had to wait an extra week to take my beta test. I could wait no longer, as of this morning, I took a pregnancy test. It has been a week since my last HCG shot of 2500 iu. The test was positive. I sure hope that the news is the same on Monday the 5th.

It is so great to see everyone that is pregnant. Good luck to you all on your journey.

Just got my second beta B/W results for week 5: HCG is 2,771! Super high progesterone and estrogen levels still (without supplements). RE said, "Amazing levels". Looks like our rodeo baby is hanging in there so far. We are SUPER excited!
Happy Easter all. :)

Hi,
My RE says that she wouldnt worry bout any kind of brown spotting as long as beta's are doubling up(even 3 good readings are more than enough).Also have read that this could be due to late implantation or vanishing twin syndrome.All the best for ur US,am sure everything will be fine.

keep me updated and lots n lots of babydust to u....I am prayin for you too..

Apr 05, 2010

To: monahema

I am sorry to hear your news! It is definitely a heartbreaking situation.  To finally get pregnant, then just to lose it so quick!  ((hugs)) to you!!

My RE did not give me any reasoning behind my misscarriage.  The baby just stopped growing and they never saw a heartbeat. They think it was just something genetic.  My numbers right from the beginning were low.  They were rising but not that fast. So we had hopes, but they weren't high!  But look at me now, second postive, I feel good, my numbers are great so far (just gotta wait till my ultrasound next week to make sure my baby (or babies) are doing good.

So there is hope!!!  You have to "try" to stay positive!!

Ebeth,Rodeo: COngratulations...

As for me, I was just being paranpoid about the brown discharge,had it again next day and then stopped, I feel good and positive about pregnancy and looking forwrad to my US on friday.Will keep u all posted....

rodeobaby

Apr 06, 2010

Monahema- I was so sad to hear about your loss. I asked my RE the same question you asked (about PCOS and MC). She told me that PCOS = increased chance of M/C UNLESS you do IVF, then there is NOT an increased risk. I suppose this is b/c they monitor your hormone levels so closely and supplement with progresterone (vs in unassisted preganncies). Please do not lose hope.

Ebeth- Congrats! Your levels look great. I was wondering about the twin factor myself so I did some research (I think I need a hobby). According to "The Infertility Survival Handbook" the normal range for singleton and multiple pregnancies weeks 4-5 is 75-2,600. There is also a small, very unscientific sample study comparing HCGs levels of pregnancies with singles and mutiples at http://www.advancedfertility.com/earlypre.htm . I think you will find the range is huge and it could go either way. I guess we'll have to wait for the U/S!

My 2ww will be up on Friday 4/9. I am hoping to bring good news! I'm gonna try my best to! It's been a long road, and I am so ready to start the next chapter. But, I have NO control over that... so whatever happens, happens. I am hopeful and optimistic.... but I'm preparing myself for bad news too.

ss712~ We are Praying for you! Hang in there and let us know how the u/s goes!

rodeobaby, Ebeth~ how are you two feeling?? Any morning sickness yet?

Apr 07, 2010

Actually, I feel better than ever. To be honest, I was super tired, had cramping, and was horribly constipated (TMI?) for weeks, but now everything is great. It actually has me a little woried. Am I being paranoid?

jhopeful

Apr 07, 2010

I feel the same way. Besides the small windows of tiredness and some on and off bloating... I feel good!! It makes me part worried, part grafeful and part wondering when I am just going to wake up feeling miserable and throwing up! =)

How far along are you (to better understand your beta)? What's "average" at this point? I'm getting my 6 week beta results tomorrow, and I'm not sure what I should expect or hopre for at this point. Do they track your progresterone and estradiol levels too? If so, how's that going for you? Thanks for sharing and get some rest!

Apr 12, 2010

To: monahema

I have to say I questioned my Dr on why my cycle turned out the way it did last time.  They couldn't give me any real answers.  They said they don't know why I had a MC, just that it was mostly likely genetic.  So they just pretty much did the same protocal they did last time maybe tweeking it a little and I got pregnant again! I think if you have two or more MC's then they start thinking about doing tests to see what might be causing it.  Just ask your dr what they think.

My advice would be definitely take a break in between!  I know it's awful putting it off for a month or two, but you have to get your body physically and mentally ready for a new cycle!  Maybe change your diet a little, exercise if you don't already, do yoga to relax and acupuncture!  I am such a believer in acupuncture!!  I started it as soon as I started my cycle with BCP and went once a week till I got my pregnancy test. Now I am still going once a week because they say it can lower your chance of MC.  Also I know this might so crazy but I just told myself all the time positive things.  Like.. My body was a perfect enviorenment to carry a baby, that I WILL have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.  I just always repeat those things to myself.

I wish you lots of luck in your new cycle!!  Just remember to "try" to relax and think postive!!

and thank you!  I am very excited and nervous for tomorrow.  Last time around the baby stopped growing around 7-8 weeks and I never saw the HB.  So I am praying that everything goes well tomorrow!!

congrads too all new BFP.  I was reading.  I will comtinue to pray for all of the ladies.  It is so funny that this race just keeps going.

once you are BFP then you worry about beta numbers then worry about the numbers doubling then worry about seeing the heart beat.  then you worry and worry about the next thing.

I just thought I shared my rollercoaster ride with you all and to tell you to stop worrying.

jhopeful

Apr 12, 2010

It's true! You think you get a BFP and life is great!! Nope!! I will feel a " little" better when I see the HB, then a little more better when I get through the first trimester, then a little better as the months go by! I will be totally relieved when I am holding that baby in my arms!! Then all new worries start!! ;)

Mariana101

Apr 12, 2010

To: jhopeful

yes, you are right, but to just get to the point and get pregnant it is SO difficult for most of us so a BFP is always GREAT!!!!
Im a mother of a teenager girl,,, you always worry but it is sweet........ because you have a child that will grow up and be someone incredible because she/he has a mother who tried everything to bring her/him to this wonderful word!!!! and that is a blessing

jhopeful

Apr 12, 2010

To: Mariana101

I have to agree on that too! =) To spend a 2 and a half years trying to get pregnant and finally getting a BFP is an amazing feeling! But I feel (especially since I have had a MC) that the feeling is short lived, where worryiness kicks in again!

Just guess we take it day by day! =)

mhv: hopefully new RE will give what all you have been praying for...
Monahema: Taking a break for 1 mth is a good idea, thts what I had planned if thngs didnt workout.

You are all right: worries never rest on this rollercoaster ride....I have been going thr the same, now HB is seen, now keep thinking wish this first trim gets over soon, then will worry ab triple screen, then level 2 US, then 28 weeks landmark and then 36 wks landmark, then baby and then working around my work schedule......in between there will be more issues with insurance(found today that I will be paying around 6000$ out of pocket for normal delivery without complications!!!! even with insurance)...........so trying to take deep breath and relax and smile:)

My RE says in IVF every step is a hurdle,u need to clear every hurdle to have a successful preg...so all in all we IVF mothers will always will be worrying about our next step.I and DH were so elated by the first step of BFP(which was a huge achievement for us)that we didnt consider anything cud go wrong after this,but as GOD wants it,he wants me to patiently wait for some more time...But this forum does let u vent what u feel and everybody can relate to it,so its grt to have u women around!!!!

Re, "Nope, not a joke. There they are". (It was hilarious). They are both good sized and both have a heartbeat of 120 BPM. Recheck in 2 weeks to make sure it sticks, but so far things are going better than expected. WOW! We are shocked and amazed.

Good luck this week! No matter the number, to see your baby and hear an actual heartbeat is so special. It makes it seem more real... like, "hey, we really are going to do this!". Also, it makes any nausea seem not so bad. When is your U/S? Keep us posted!

Ladies, I had a terrible scare this weekend. I started bleeding (heavily- soaked one large pad per hour all AM) out of no where. We ended in up in the ER, I was sure I was miscarrying. U/S and bloodwork came back good. Babies are growing and showing strong heartbeats at 162 & 168 bpm. What a relief! I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hemhorrage. Now we wait and see if it heals itself or if the unimaginable happens. My doctor reassures me that it is still very possible for me to have a healthy, normal pregnancy, but this is so frightening. Has anyone ever heard of this or experienced it themselves? I understand that it happens in 1% of pregnancies, and the cause is unknown. I have been so careful throughout this pregnancy! Now I am not allowed to lift anything heavier than a milk carton, and I cannot ellevate my HR at all. Please pray for our babies, that they survive this!

ss712

Apr 27, 2010

To: rodeobaby

I am sorry to hear about bleeding.I can totally understand how scary the whol thing could be. But try to stay positive and most likely all will go well. FHR is a reassuring sign. Subchorionoc hemorr is very common and because of all latest tech in US,they are easy to pick up but maynot mean anything.Its bit worrisome if hemorrhage is more than 50%.

Try to relax.Are you still bleeding? For how many hrs did u bleed?

Will keep u in my prayers.

How are you feeling now? That is so scary! I have never heard of that befoe. That is a good sign though that they are growing and have strong heartbeats still. It is also reassuring that the dr still feels that you can have a healthy pregnancy after that. Just "try" to relax. I know easier said then done.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your babies!!!!

Unreal that we both have this! It is just a pregnancy thing, not twins or IVF so they say, I cant believe we share the same due date and are having the same experience!! SOOO Scary but we are going to be FINE!!!! As doom and gloom as most medical conditions are when you google Subchorionic Hemhorrage its not so scary. There are very rare instances that healthy babies like ours dont make it full term with the Subchorionic Hemhorrage. We just have to deal with scary bleeding and more check ups. Have you been cramping or did you have cramping when you were bleeding?

Thanks all for your support.

ss712, I bled heavily for 3 or 4 hours. I am still spotting, but dark brown now. I go to RE on Friday for recheck (they wanted to give it time to heal I think). Re office is telling me that Er report did not measure hemmorhage so I don't know how big it is or exact location. It did appear to be some distance from my embryos, but doctor told me it was a tear in the gestational sac, so what do I know? Maybe they aren't telling me how big becvause they don't want me to worry about something I can't treat anyways, and they are hoping to give me better news by Friday????

I believe it will all be fine. The bleeding which stops even if heavy(I have the experience)and not acompanied by pain is not to be worried about.The brown is just old blood coming out,good thing is there is no mre fresh blood. Twins is a high risk pregnancy and many a times it can cause obvious concerns to parents. Good Luck with your RE visit.(I am surprised you are still continuing with RE and not with OB!!)

Well, they decided to keep me 2 weeks longer because of twins (she wanted to do a follow-up U/S to see if they both keep). I didn't mind since I looked forward to more pics. They plan to transfer me after 9 weeks (three more days). I already have OB appt set for the following business day. We'll see if this changes things. Thanks for the reassurance.

Update- we went to RE yesterday and had another U/S. SC Hemmotoma is spreading out and "dispursing". Doctor reports it is far from both placentas/umbilical cords so really poses no threat. Body will eventually reabsorb (likely by 20 weeks). I have had no more bleeding or cramping. Doctor also says we are past the point of being concerned with vanishing twin syndrome. So we breathing a huge sigh of relief! I am also approved to life 10 lbs again (whew!!!!). Babies are getting so big! They were moving around, and one kicked out it's little leg when it felt the push of the U/S wand- hilarious! (I think we are going to have our hands full with that one... always hiding or talking back!). They both have strong heart beats... 170 and 174 bpm (like hummingbirds). I start with my OB on Monday at 9 weeks 3 days. Thanks everyone for your support last week.

Yay! I am glad it dispursed and that you and babies are well! Its so neat to see them moving around in there!! Our A is a dancer and B is always sleeping. I was released to my OBGYN at our u/s on monday and have an apt with her on wednesday. I am SO excited to be a normal pregnant lady now instead of having a RE!! How are you feeling? I feel great and cant believe how fast these 12 weeks have flown by!! :-)
