embryo transfer

[babydreams183]

I had an embryo transfer 14days ago.My blood pregnancy test came out positive with a reading of 544.today i am having some mid- upper left side pain.I had a tubal pregnancy 3 yrs ago.the doctor took out my right tube and told me,my left tube is no good,its blocked and has alot of scar tissue.Is it possible that this left side pain can be another tubal pregnancy?I am really scared.

Hi!
Yes, it is possible that it could be another tubal pregnancy. What you are going to have to do is repeat your pregnancy hormone levels to be certain that they are rising appropriately.  (They should approximately double every 48 hours).  Once the value is above 2000, it should be possible to see the pregnancy on transvaginal ultrasound--and I hope and pray that it is in the right spot!  Congratulations on the positive test,  I hope all goes well for you! If you have any severe pain, fainting spells, abnormal bleeding, etc you should call your doctor immediately.  If you are being closely monitored, it is unlikely that you will have a ruptured tubal pregnancy.

Good luck!

Hi I also did IVF for the first time, I did the 5 day blastocyst on 5-6-09 I go in the morning for my serum pregnancy test, Today a few hours after I did my endometrin insert I used the bathroom and noticed spotting, a red is that a bad sign ? Thank you

Hi i have a 8yr.old daughter and im ready for another child. me and my spouse has been together also for 8yrs.of course were having unprotected sex but guess what no baby. I finally went to a fertility doctor and i did everything except for the dye test to see if my tubes were block.but i didnt go back cause it was expensive and i had already told the doctor that i had a laproscopi done.and thats when i found out my left tube is block and i have alot of scar tissue so now im trying to see do i need to just have a embryo transfer instead of going through the long process of fertility treatment.

Hi there.

Sounds like I am right behind you. I had my embryo transfer on April 20th and my blood pregnancy test is Monday.

However, I started cramping yesterday (like menstrual cramps) and last night had some very light spotting. I'm not having anything come "out" (sorry, not trying to be graphic here) but when I wipe some red is appearing. I'm concerned I am starting my period but I wouldn't be due to start until Sunday. I know I have to go in for the pregnancy test anyway and I'm dreading the call I have to make to my Dr. today. I'm very afraid I might not be pregnant.

I'm not sure about the left side pain being a tubal, but I figured since we our cycles are so close, maybe you have a little insight for me?

We were told that two very healthy looking grade A 8 and 9 cell embryos were transferred. I've done everything by the book and have had pregnancy symptoms so my husband and I are not sure how to feel right now.

Congrats on your positive pregnancy test!

Did you take a HPT before your blood test? We took one this morning and it was negative.
