It looks like my numbers are around where they should be 48 now but dr still wants me to do another beta on Thursday, I guess it is good as long as the numbers keep doubling every 48 hrs. I am starting to have heartburn more frequent and am very tired.

you are so lucky having another beta so soon .. I am hanging out for friday!! that's what you get in the public hospital system though! great number darling!! may it just continue going up and up!!

Maria2707

Nov 03, 2010

Thanks Allip and caryns!

Tones-for you the number should triple by Friday. Your number should be around 600. I know it will be more. How are you feeling otherwise? I have no symptom at all. I don't even want to start talking about our country's medical system and insurance companies. If only all the insurance companies covered infertility.

To: Maria2707

I'm feeling absolutely fine! much better than I was .. hoping all is well in there! I am lucky here in Oz, our govt covers a lot of costs if you go public, the problem with that is that you don't get much specialist care, only for your initial tests and then it's nurses and midwives that you see (apart from the actual procedure) as I've had 3 rounds with the same hospital, I know all the nurses in the fertility clinic so feel well looked after, but once they get a + result, they only get you in to check on hormones a few weeks later

is does make it a much more do-able process though .. I only have one fresh go left that is subsidised though as at my age (nearly 40) they limit tries to 3 fresh go's .. .I hope we won't need to do more than that!

Hi guys!
Just wanted to update..
Had my BETA done.. BFN..
*sigh*
So.. we're back to saving money..
This is going to be a million dollar baby! lol
Best of wishes to everyone!
I'll be here from time to time to check in on everyone and to update!

Red: I am SO sorry. It is so hard, but you have to keep on! Thinking of you.
I know, I do not even want to add up all the costs this year, I am very scared.
I have an envelope and it just gets bigger and bigger.

Last night I gave myself the progesterone shot ( my husband was out at a dinner). I hit something. I am in pain when I walk and hard to get up stairs, this little bean better make it! I cant bare to do it all again, but I will if I have to. :)
Wish me luck on Monday.

To: Redhenful

red I am so sorry for your BFN!  It's hard to keep going back to the drawing board but we will all get there eventually .. we're just taking the long way round

B74 .. good luck on Monday hon .. I hope everything goes smoothly for you from now on!!

as for me .. I think this pregnancy is on it's way out .. hardly any increase in hcg and don't feel at all pg .. why did this happen .. I would have preferred for it not to have worked at all to getting my hopes up for 2 weeks!

I need some advice on what to do next .. I am 40 in a few months and we have one frozen embie left.  What is everyone's thoughts on what I should do ... I am thinking that maybe we should leave that embie on ice and do another fresh cycle in the hope that we get some decent embies and maybe more to freeze

Most of me just wants to go with the last frozen one as that's such an easy round compared to fresh .. but I know it would be sensible to get some more embies while I'm a bit younger esp if we want to have more than one child

At the moment I would be happy with just one though .. and there's always the fear that since this will be the 2nd miscarriage from this batch, how good is the last embie likely to be?? Oh I wish I wasn't this age and had loads more time to play with!!

B74 - Best of luck to you...I am hoping and praying for your BFP!  I know how it is to give yourself those dreadful projesterone shots in your butt...I had to do them myself everytime, as my DH can't stomach it...

tones99 - I also know what you are going through.  I knew  after I recieved a 11.5 BETA that the pregnancy was not going to work out.  Just like you, I just didnt feel the symptoms that I had felt earlier in the 2ww.  I had a really bad series of cramps in the middle of the night, and then nothing after that and I knew that it was over.  What a devistation for me and my DH.  I am going to proceed with a mock, then a FET in January.  I think that if I were you, I would go for the fresh again...you already suggested it, so my hunch is you are already there too...I think it just makes sense based upon everything that you said.  I will be right there beside you going through it again as well :)

Red - Gosh, it ***** so bad.  I hate what you are going through right now.  Allow yourself some time to be sad, hurt and angry and then get your plan together.  IVF does work...but like someone else said, some journeys are just a longer route.  Have faith and I will be praying for you and thinking of you.

What's the deal with you and Insurance again?
That might have be a factor.
I was in your boat last year. I produced ONE good egg after all my IVF's. We decided to implant the one perfect guy and did not make it. Hence my road to a donor.
Don't think of it as age. It just the way our bodies are. 42 year old produces better eggs than me (36). So dont look it as you are 40, look at as what can I mentally, financially and physically handle.
If you are willing to go one more round, I will take one more try and hope for one more good one and then you have two. That is just me. We knew I was not producing anything else and we had no $$ for my personal trys anymore. Talk to your partner and see how it goes over. Also your Dr as well. Both Dr. I saw said they recommended a donor, so that is what we did.
Good luck all the way from the other side of the world!!

To: B74 beanand sprout

thanks guys .. B74 - I only had one good one from my first round but round 2 out of 6 that fertilised and were doing well, 3 made it to blast, so I would be hoping for this again .. I'm not ready to give up on my eggs

Our govt covers a good deal of the costs of a fresh round and even though it's still a lot .. it's a lot less than private .. so we can probably scrape together the funds for another fresh round .. I think that's probably the way to go but we will wait and talk it over with our clinic .. I agree with you about the age factor .. my very healthy SIL is about to give birth to her first at 42 so I know it's possible. I don't think I will go back to drinking at all (well, maybe the occasional one) when this is over to give myself the best chance .. it would be so fantastic if it happened naturally .. that's only happened once which ended in a chemical.

beanandsprout - you're right .. I think I am leaning in that direction .. it's just hard knowing we have to do all the drugs again for a 3rd time .. this pregnancy started out stronger than my last which made it to 12 weeks so that really tricked my mind into thinking that it was stronger overall .. are you going to do a medicated or natural FET cycle? natural cycle is appealing to me too .. no disruption to what's happening in my body! oh the decisions .. I can tell this is going to drive me mad!!

thanks for your input girls .. anyone else who has an opinion would be very much appreciated thanks!

To: tones99

Yes, I would leave the embie on ice (its not going anywhere, right?) and go for a fresh cycle.
Good luck and I'm sorry this time didn't work out. I've had two chemical pregnancies and one miscarriage so I know how awful it is. take care...

tones99

Nov 05, 2010

To: nshapland

I think so too .. I've just been talking to hubby about it and we are thinking the same .. I can cope with a fresh round and if it gives us an extra chance especially for our future then I think it's the way to go.

I have a funny pulling feeling around my uterus which feels like the beginning of af but nothing else .. I will be waiting for it every day from now on!!

Redhenful

Nov 05, 2010

Thanks guys! ..i really appreciate your kind words..
It helps to have folks who understand it all. :o)

B74: Ouch! :o( Maybe put some ice on it... maybe alternate heat and ice?? I think i'm going to use PIO next time... i've been using the supps... but i worry about them really working well..

Tones: I'm so sorry... what did they tell you?? Are you still on meds?? Sometimes the BETAS slow down a bit and pick backup!! *keeping fringers crossed for you!!**

Beanandsprout.. thanks again for the kind words.. Heres hoping that your FET goes well in January! fx

I called my RE office today and asked for a "talk" appointment... (going next friday)
I'm going to really get on her about WHY these embies are NOT implanting! They tell me my uterus is great.. it gets triple layer..(blah..blah...)
So WHAT is the problem then? This was donor cycle #4.. (2 fresh/2 frozen)
I'm going to ask for a test to be done on my uterus lining.. maybe something is toxic in there?? lol.. i just dont know...
I am also going to ask them to run MORE blood tests... maybe my body is rejecting the embryos? Although they say no to that...

Anyone have any other question ideas that i can ask these people?? Any other tests they can give me?

tones99

Nov 05, 2010

To: Redhenful

yeah I have a little bit of hope still that it will work out but not much .. feeling better about it today as we've talked a lot this afternoon and decided that we'll do a big health kick for the next few months and do a fresh round in january .. of course try naturally in that time too ... now its just a matter of this being over .. and who knows how long that will be!

It is just so annoying when everything looks good on paper but still doesn't work! very frustrating!! you should push for as many tests as you possibly can get .. I don't know what you've had done already so don't know what you should be asking for .. it will be good to talk about everything again with your RE .. keep us posted hon

Went for u/s today and there was no sac yolk h/b a BFN. Don't know what my fifth beta was but it looks like a m/c I have never had a m/c and do not know what to expect I a currently 6wks 5d according to ER and ET date. I am very sad and am sad for anyone else who has went through m/c. I wonder how long I will have to wait to try again with our snowbabies....

B74- Wow I am so happy for you, I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy. Make sure to keep us posted

Allip77

Nov 09, 2010

To: TMum13

I am so very sorry for your news. I had a m/c last year so I know how sad you are feeling right now and I am so sorry. For some reason, this isn't your time but thank god you have your snowbabies so you can try again- you'll get your baby #2. I don't know how long your doctors will have you wait for your next cycle. For me, I had a D&C and it took 6 weeks to get my period back. Then we started trying naturally right away, even though my doctor had said to wait one more cycle. Best of luck and take care.

To: TMum13

I am so so sorry sweetheart! there is nothing more awful than going to see your baby so excited and then being so disappointed! I really feel for you .. with an earlier m/c, if you leave it to pass naturally, most doctors will say wait one cycle before trying again .. because you have snowbabies, you don't have to worry about putting your body through that stress again so can go sooner than a fresh cycle.

I really feel for you and the pain you must be feeling .. just take some time to grieve and look after yourself honey xx

Hi Maria (my fellow 2 2pn FET transfer girl!) - I'm doing okay, although every once in a while I get panicked about something or other! My OB was unable to get me next week for an 8-week ultrasound but she had a cancellation for this Friday so I'm going in then- I'll be 7 weeks 3 days. Cannot WAIT. Desperate to see the heartbeat and move through this first trimester!

How are you doing? Are you about 5 1/2 or 6 weeks now? I forgot, what meds are you on now?

Maria2707

Nov 09, 2010

To: Allip77

TMum13: I am so sorry, i really am. Just have to keep on. That is only ting we can do.

Allip77: That is when i saw the heartbeats, 7 and 3 days, so I wish you luck!
My next US in on the 29th at the OBGYN. So that is my next step. I feel like it is far away.

Had u/s today. We saw it's heartbeat, which was pretty cool. Rate was 102 and Dr said I was measuring smaller than I should be. I measured 6wks and I should be almost 7wks. He also asked if I had any bleeding/spotting. Should I be worried at all?? My last beta was 1599 and they never repeated it after that. I haven't had any cramps, just the pulling on my right from the cyst. He wants me back in a week for another u/s. Praying that everything is ok. Do you think me working midnights and not sleeping very well has anything to do with this?? So confused and scared. Hope everyone is doing well.

Alli - how did your u/s go???

To: Mindy1333

hey love .. please try not to worry .. congrats on seeing that beautiful hb .. it will be stronger in a weeks time .. some bubs just take a little longer to get started .. doesn't mean there's anything wrong! also, at such an early stage, it is really hard for sonographer's to get accurate measurements .. I have a retroverted uterus, so the technician never knows if the picture is good enough to be accurate in their measurements.

your u/s next week will show good growth I'm sure .. please try to relax .. I know it's easier said than done and I'm the worst person when it comes to worrying .. I think it was a bit wrong of your doc to worry you!

good luck!!!

Hi ladies,

Well ultrasound yesterday at 6w2d show crl of 5.67 mm with heartrate of 119. The doc said this was good. It seems like the heartrate should have been a little higher???? Any thoughts?

Thanks......

Has anybody ever been tested for the natural killer cell? I was thinking about mentioning this to my dr next was as I was d/n with cf/fms after my first DD and was wondering if this might be playing a part in my fertility issues. Better to find out now before doing a FET.
